Chapter Fifty Three:

When the trio consisting of Blake Ouroboros, Rouge Rubedo and Karna Lovegood appeared in the hallway outside the Great Hall via a teleportation circle to have breakfast, the duo of mother and child were the ones who took note of the underlying tension in the atmosphere. Rouge on the other hand didn't notice and nonchalantly entered the Great Hall with little to no care in the world regarding both the underlying tension and the various looks she was on the receiving end of, most likely due to her outfit that was by quite the few standards easily considered indecent. Particularly the child of Great Red's top that was actually just a really long scarf wrapped around her neck and chest in a way that still left two lengths of the scarf loosely hanging behind her. Though the various draconic features on display, most notably Rouge's golden eyes with draconic slits and equally golden horns, could also have been a factor. Blake could actually almost swear that her nose picked up the scent of blood mixed with snot amongst most of the students when Rouge entered the Great Hall, and it wasn't just the males.

As the Demi-Dragon Goddess and Reincarnation entered the Great Hall and made their way towards the Ravenclaw-table, more specifically Luna Lovegood, barely sending a glance towards the Staff-table. Though that didn't mean that Blake didn't notice the bug in one of the most hideous outfits she's ever seen, and considering the kind of people she knew about in the Khaos Brigade, whose wardrobes ranged from decent and stylish to very revealing and eye-catching, that was saying something. As the Child of the Ouroboros sat down next to her mate, with Karna sitting in between the two (who happily helped herself to a serving of scrambled eggs and bacon), she sent said mate a questioning look.

"Good morning Luna."

"Mornin' Blake."

"Is there a reason why most of the bugs in here look depressed or at least upset?"

"Delores Umbridge. The senior undersecretary of the minister of Magic."

"Who?"

"The woman in pink at the Staff-table."

"…"

"…"

"…"

"…"

"That is one ugly outfit."

"Indeed. I have a feeling that she won't leave Hogwarts alive."

"Why?"

"She's bound to do something that will definitely piss you or Rouge off."

"Fair enough and it looks like Rouge has already started making the worm's stay here Hell."

"How so?"

"My opposite just used the Illusion of Dreams to create something and I sensed it being used near the worm." Just as Blake said that, the worm (who had been standing for some reason) sat down in her seat, causing a very loud noise of flatulence to echo through the entire Great Hall. Which, rather predictably, made most of the students start laughing at the worm. "I believe the phrase is: called it." While Blake wasn't among the ones laughing, her tone carried out that she found Rouge's, admittedly childish, prank amusing.

"Maybe this year won't be too bad." Mused Luna in between laughter.

"Rouge could have timed it better though." Stated Karna, earning interested looks from her parents.

"Why?"

"Having milk come out through the nose is not pleasant."
