Chapter 33: A Huge Uproar

3rd of September 1995, DADA classroom, Hogwarts Castle, Hogsmeade grounds, Scotland

Hope groaned as Umbridge entered the room, carrying the scent of cats.

The Princess was no fan of cats, she was more of a dog person.

"Good morning class." the pink toad of a teacher greeted with a load of falseness in her voice.

"Good morning professor." several murmured, but the main part of the class was silent.

For this time, Hope was extremely glad that they had this class with the Ravenclaws and not with the Gryffindors.

Umbridge looked utterly displeased. "When I say 'good morning class', you will all reply with a 'good morning professor Umbridge'. Now, let's try it again. Good morning class."

"Good morning professor Umbridge." everyone, except for Hope, now said a little louder.

The pink dressed toad passed the benches to walk over to the Nymph who was sitting all alone in the middle.

Hope didn't look up, she knew she'd puke by just the sight of the ugly professor so she turned her head to look outside.

"I think you know that this is no way to treat a teacher, Miss Potter." Umbridge said.

The Nymph felt her stare on the back of her head, but she didn't turn around. Instead she murmured: "Miss Palpatine."

"What did you say there?" the pink toad demanded.

Now a little louder, the Princess said. "Miss Palpatine, not Miss Potter. I'm Miss Palpatine."

"You must be confused, your birth certificate still says Potter."

That got Hope angry. She stood up and turned around, her eyes casting a killing glare and her voice waving like a hurricane. "I'm no Potter any longer! I have been legally adopted by the Lord and Lady Palpatine years ago! They were there for me while you Ministry cowards left me with my abusive aunt and uncle! They would have beaten me to death, starved me to death! You don't know what it was like to be treated like a Muggle House Elf! I hold the power now, no more adults shall rule over me, I won't be anyone's puppet! I've long cut those strings. I am who I should be, a true warrior like my father the King."

With that shouted out, the Princess picked up her bag and pushed Umbridge out of her way before leaving the classroom, not hearing the toad shrieking like a banshee.

She just smugly smiled.

Even if that toad would give her detention, she wouldn't turn up anyway.

14th of October 1995, near Buckingham Palace, London, England

The Jedi Prince was walking in the streets of London wearing muggle clothing.

It was very late, the Ministry would be near empty by now as it was like 9 o'clock.

His whole outfit, with exception of the green scarf around his neck, was black leather. His tight pants, his boots, the blazer, his fingerless gloves and his longer coat with a high collar. His shirt was white cotton, merely to look more official.

He had dyed his hair midnight black and curled it a bit after letting it grow some longer.

Only if someone looked really good at him and really knew him, they might know who he truly was.

The box was in his brown leather bag, hanging over his shoulder.

Stepping into one of the red telephone cells, he smugly smiled before dealing the number General Weasley had given him.

Aragon just replied the voice with: "Aragon Palpatine, I'm here for a special visit to the Minister."

There were no questions asked, just one copper badge fell into the iron basket.

The Prince put it in his pocket before closing his long coat and be sure that the higher collar hid most of his recognizable features.

The fireplace hall was empty, so Aragon walked along to the elevators.

He hexed the system to listen to his will before stepping into an empty one.

For as long as he was at the Ministry, none of the other elevators would work.

The Prince spelled every floor, setting banners on fire with the fireworks in his bag and transfiguring Muggle coins into pink frogs.

But that was truly nothing for what he had planned to do in the Minister's office...

15th of October, breakfast time, Great Hall, Hogwarts Castle, Hogsmeade grounds, Scotland

The next day, it was all over the papers.

But under a ridiculous headline, according to Hope.

**-/-**

'MINISTRY OF MAGIC VIOLATED BY MYSTERIOUS STRANGER!'

'Last night, somewhere around 10 when no one was inside the Ministry building underneath the city of London, a stray wizard turned up and enchanted all the rooms on ever floor. On all floors, banners of the Minister were set ablaze, things were blown apart and pink frogs were hopping around the hallways. But the Department of Mysteries, the court rooms and the Minister's office were in the worst state.

In the Department of Mysteries, all shelves with prophecy balls had broken and the balls all shattered on the ground. Benches had broken in the court room, as well as the whole floor destroyed with what looked like an extremely powerful Bombarda Maxima. And the Minister's office was a complete chaos with important files missing, other files ripped apart, desk molested and broken down to a pile of splinters and portraits shredded.

Whoever knows who did this shall be rewarded properly with 5000 Galleons so we will be able to bring this stray wizard to justice in our emergency courtroom.

"Can you believe it? So ridiculous!" the Nymph said as she rolled with her eyes at the article, laying the paper down.

"You know who did that?" Daphne asked, raising her eyebrows.

"Of course I do, dad has been talking about causing uproar. I don't know exactly who it was, but it must have been a son from a council member as they alone knew all details of it." Hope told. "That limits it."

Then the Weasley twins turned up behind the Princess, big smiles on their faces.

"What's it with you two?" Tracy asked.

"It occurred us," began Fred.

"that all this mess at the Ministry,"

"was caused by our joke stuff."

"Your joke stuff? Who has access?" Hope asked.

"All of the Weasley siblings, except for little Ronnikins of course." George told.

The Nymph thought about it. "I'll ask my father later on, it doesn't quite matter anyway."

Dumbledore stood up, asking for silence with a Sonorus spell. "Everyone! Professor Umbridge has an announcement to make."

The pink toad stepped forward to the stance, inelegantly.

"As precaution from the Ministry, to prevent harm to come to the students, is that all Force-Sensitive students among us shall wear a special sort of cuff that will tell you their danger. Cause we all know, Jedi witches and wizards are no good."

Hope narrowed her eyes to slits as Umbridge smiled with triumph, most of everyone clapping and cheering at the announcement.

But none came from the Slytherin table, they only felt sorry for those who would be cuffed.

That same day, just after their last class, all Force-Sensitives known to the Ministry were dragged off to the Headmaster's office.

Hope knew she'd be dragged off, but she hadn't expected it from the many others she saw there.

There was a 6th year Chinese Ravenclaw girl, apparently betrayed by her best friend when she 'Force pushed' Roger Davies away from her to protect herself. Her name was Cho Chang, she had been Cedric Diggory's girlfriend for a few years and apparently still was.

There was also a pair of girls from Slytherin, the Carrow twins Hestia and Flora. The Carrow family did have some affinity for the Force as many other Pureblood families as they were closely related to the Black Family where nearly everyone had the Force.

Then there were Fred and George, not very much of a surprise to Hope.

Also Lily Moon, Hannah Abbot and Ernest McMillian from Hufflepuff & Lisa Turpin and Michael Corner from Ravenclaw, all from her year.

Each of them was cuffed on their wand hand, a silver bracelet with an amount of rubies in it.

A low amount of rubies meant that you were not so dangerous, a high amount meant you were extremely dangerous.

Cho's had only 6 rubies where Hope's had at least 50 if it wasn't more. The two pairs of twins got 40 rubies each, Lily, Ernest and Hannah had only 6 and both Michael and Lisa had 8 ones on their bracelet.

The Princess knew that this was only the beginning of something very dark, something was about to happen this year that would set off the war.

Blood would be spilled, next year being the year of war.

I hope it's a bit good, even if it's not so long as previous chapters.

Suggestions for upcoming chapters are very welcome! Thank you!

If I made any kind of mistakes, just PM me or leave a review!

Another one, who would you prefer to die in battle and who not? (It's for the alternate Battle of Hogwarts, in case you're wondering!)

Please leave a review if you have any time, I really want more reviews on one chapter than only 3.
