85. Dumbledore's Army's Punishment

**Hermione's POV**

"What?!" Ron, Fred, George, and I exclaimed.

"He left with Fawkes! Don't ask me. He took the blame on Dumbledore's Army and he fled!" Harry said.

We were walking down to the Great Hall and Harry was just telling us what went down last night at Dumbledore's office.

"Filch's putting up a new rule," Ginny said, walking towards us.

"Thanks, Gin," I said.

"I broke up with Michael," Ginny whispered.

"What? Why?" I whispered back in shock.

"He was being a git" Ginny smiled.

"Bloody hell, no way!" Ron said and we read the new rule that Filch put up.

**'Dolores Jane Umbridge has Replace Albus Dumbledore as Head of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry' **it read.

"That's mental," George said.

"Boys and girls are not permitted to be within eight inches of each other" Umbridge said over the speakers she put up around the school.

"That's a rubbish rule!" Fred said angrily. "I can't be next to my own girlfriend?!"

"Don't be too upset. We'll always have the common room" I smiled and perked him on the cheek.

"Again, blah!" George said.

"Can't you two get a room?" Ron asked.

"Shut up, guys," Fred said, putting his arm around me.

We then went to the Great Hall like the rest of the D.A. Members and we sat down on the desk separated in rows.

"You'll all be doing some lines for me" Umbridge smiled.

There was a piece of parchment and a quill and Umbridge said "You have to write: I must never break rules again' down on the piece of parchment."

**Werewolf Marcy: Sorry, I didn't know what she made them write. XD**

After writing that once, a very hard pain came from my left hand. I looked at it and saw that the sentence that I wrote on the parchment had been written on it.

I looked at Fred with pain and fear in my eyes and he looked at me with sadness and worry.

I began to write the sentence down more and the cut grew bigger.

We all finished writing the lines and we exited the Great Hall and we saw Cho.

We all glared at her and Ginny bumped her on the shoulder.

"Harry," Cho said, trying to sound innocent.

"Come on, Mate" Fred said and we all walked away.

"Are you alright, 'Mione?" Fred asked as he miserably watched me rub my left hand.

"Ya, I guess" I frowned.

"'Mione, I could have stopped this-" Fred started.

"Now you couldn't have, Fred. Even if you tried, you would get into even more trouble that will cause you pain" I said looking weak.

**Fred's POV**

We were walking down the bridge while we were talking about everything that's happened.

"You did everything you could," Ron said.

"No one could win against that old hag," George said.

"Even Dumbledore didn't see this coming," Mione said. "Harry, if it's anyone's fault, it's ours."

"Ya. We talked you into it" I said.

"Yes, but I agreed" Harry said, stopped walking and leaned on the wall. "I've tried so hard to help, and all it's done is make things even worse than it already is."

He turned around to face the forest and said "Anyways, that doesn't matter anymore, does it? Because I don't want to play anymore. All it does is make you care too much. And the more you care, the more you have to lose. So maybe it's just better to-"

"To what?" 'Mione asked.

"Go it alone," He answered, facing us.

"Psst!" A voice said coming from the other side of the bridge.

We all looked at where the voice was coming from, and saw our very own gamekeeper, Hagrid.
