After Severus had left, Harry and Draco ran for the Transfiguration classroom to see Professor McGonagall right away to tell her that Severus would not be chaperoning Hogsmeade that day. They met Professor McGonagall at the corridor as she was about to go to the entrance hall. "Professor!" They both cried at once as Professor McGonagall halted her walk as she looked at the two boys.
"Is something wrong? I was about to meet Severus..." Minerva began.
Harry shook his head, "Professor Snape had to go and meet you-know-who just now and he couldn't make it today," he explained quickly.
"Well, I must say, I'll just have to look for a replacement of Severus today now, do I?" Minerva said worriedly.
There was a slight chuckle as the three looked and saw Dolores Umbridge walking to them as if she overheard the conversation. "May I ask where is Professor Snape after taking care of Mr. Potter here for two days?" She asked as she wrote notes on her clipboard.
"I believe something urgent at home needed to be taken care of by the end of the day," Minerva lied as Harry stared at Draco.
"I find that hard to believe," Dolores said with a snort as she looked over at Harry and Draco, "I'm afraid you two won't be going to Hogsmeade today," she began with a smile. "I'm surprised Mr. Potter that you don't remember the meaning of your scar?" She asked as she gestured to his right hand that said I will not tell lies.
"I haven't told a lie all day," Harry said but he was unsure if he did.
"You two will be coming with me today and we'll be writing lines until I say so. Is that understood?" Dolores asked.
"What! You can't be serious!" Draco protested.
"Unless you two want to be handed over to Roy Greenwalt and Peter Prince? Those are the other two who're looking over at Hogwarts from the Ministry of Magic," Dolores said with a smile, "I don't mind you two going to them," Dolores said with a chuckle.
The two looked at each other frightened as the two looked at Minerva for help. "Dolores, I'm afraid that these two boys did not do anything to have that punishment. They're free to go to Hogsmeade without you watching over them," she began.
"I did not gave you permission to use my first name, Minerva! If these two boys would not come to me this instant, I am writing you on report!" Dolores threatened.
"Nobody threatens me in front of my students," Minerva said with a snarl, "I will not let you do something so stupidity by giving these two boys punishment that they do not deserve! Your other lackeys aren't doing a good job either. You are the only one who cares about the Ministry of Magic and I will see to it that you're fired!" She snapped.
"You awful bitch!" Dolores snapped as everyone in the corridor was now staring at the two women arguing and they were all gaping at Umbridge for calling Professor McGonagall that word, "you're on report! I will see to it that you'll be fired tomorrow! You two gotten of easy! However, you must be feeling guilty for making an innocent teacher here loose her job for not complying in the first place!" Dolores said glaring at Harry and Draco and with that, she stomped away making everyone in the way of Umbridge moved out off the way.
"Professor, will you be alright?" Harry asked worriedly as he stared at the witch.
"Don't worry about me, Harry. I'm a grown witch and I will always protect my students," Minerva said confidently, "I must find Professor Sprout. Perhaps she'll help me with watching the students at Hogsmeade," she said to no one in particular as she looked down at Harry and Draco, "you two better get going before Dolores comes back for more bigger surprised," she urged.
Harry nodded eagerly and he tugged onto Draco's arm who said his good-bye to Professor McGonagall quickly and the two left to go to Hogsmeade.
As soon as Severus had landed into the clearing where the Death Eaters and Tom were having a meeting, the group had looked up to see there late arrival and saw that it was Snape who was staring back at them.
"Its so good to see you, Severus. May I ask why you're late?" Tom asked as he hated lateness.
Severus was afraid of this but he didn't showed any emotions on his face. "Harry and Draco stopped me before I could continue my decent. They wanted to ask me questions," he explained.
"Oh?" Tom asked as he was now intrigued, "what did they want to know?" He asked as everyone in the group were staring at Severus now.
Severus sighed as he looked over to where Lucius and Narcissa were standing. "He doesn't know anything except that it involves with Tonks and her family," he explained.
"Crucio!" Tom cursed at him as Severus didn't expected that and he fell onto the ground trying not to scream with pain. Tom hated lateness and one form of punishment is doing the cruciatus even though Tom doesn't do it that much. He knew that at Hogwarts, Harry must be feeling this and that he may be feeling guilty for what he had done. Now after the meeting, he probably might have to comfort the boy.
After Severus had been healed by Narcissa even though Severus had told her she didn't need too but refused to believed it, they continued the meeting. "Andromeda and Ted are being moved to a new location where Dumbledore couldn't find them," Tom began as he looked at Severus who was struggling to stand still, "they'll be moving at Godric Hollow and that Nagini who have taken over Bathilda's body we'll be watching over them," he explained.
Severus was about to ask something until he heard Martha's voice piped up instead. "Sir, how did Bathilda died?" She asked.
"She died honorable while trying to defend herself against Dumbledore. The news was kept quiet because Dumbledore left her body at home without bothering to remove it and have put spells and charms to protect the home so that nobody could enter it. However, when I hadn't heard from Bathilda for quite awhile, I became concerned for her and that I went to search for her and found out that she'd be done for some time and Nagini is there to watch over the witches and wizards. Although I do believe that Dumbledore may know that Nagini is there but Nagini knows how to defend herself and she will not die easily," Tom reassured everyone.
"The Ministry of Magic is still holding Tonks?" Bellatrix asked as she was worried for her niece.
Tom nodded, "We can't do anything since she's been guarded around in a room where no one could penetrate through. She'll live Bella, I'm sure that fool Dumbledore doesn't want her dead but tortured," he said unhappily.
"I haven't been reading the Daily Prophet lately sir, but I was wondering, who is in charge of the Ministry of Magic?" Martha asked.
The Death Eaters looked around at each other including Snape who had no idea who was the one in charge also. Ever since Cornelius Fudge had stepped down, there was no word who was the new Ministry of Magic person. Everyone at the Ministry of Magic was keeping it quiet due to Dumbledore's orders. As for Tom, he may have people at higher grounds.
"I'm not too sure but I think it may be Dolores Umbridge," Tom said as he looked at Severus worriedly.
He gaped as everyone stared at Tom in awe. "Draco sent us a letter from Hogwarts stating that Umbridge is ruining everything at Hogwarts," Lucius said as he had gotten the letter from his son last week.
"Severus, be careful once you get back at Hogwarts. I fear Hogwarts is changing every second that pass," Tom said.
"Harry, you want to go inside Honeydukes? I'm sure that you'll be able to find some chocolates that you want to give to Severus," Draco teased as he and Harry were standing at the entrance of Honeydukes.
Harry glared back at him as he saw Draco chuckle. "I'm no girl, Draco. Besides, I think that's a wonderful idea. There haven't been any romance lately between us and I want to be the first one to make the move. What's his favorite chocolate?" Harry asked as he and Draco entered the store and saw several students already inside buying or eating candy.
Draco frowned as he stopped walking and Harry turned to looked at him. "You've been seeing him for several months now and you don't know what kind of chocolates he likes?" He asked.
Harry shrugged, "We've been quite busy lately," he replied.
Draco shook his head. "You two are quite an interesting couple," he muttered as Harry raised his eyebrow at him, "however, he has a sweet tooth and he doesn't care about what kind of chocolates as long as it doesn't have almonds or nuts. He never favored those," he said.
"What about these? These look good," Harry said as he was holding a box of biscuits that have chocolate on the top. (AN: Like the biscuits in Godiva. Yum!).
"I'm sure Neville would love those too," Draco whispered to Harry so that no one around them could hear that he was seeing Neville.
Harry chuckled to himself as Draco gave him a glare. However, before Draco could retort something, Harry hissed in pain making Draco look at him in concern while the other students in the store paid no attention to them unware of what's going on. "Draco, pay for this! I'll pay you back later!" Harry exclaimed as he quickly gave the box to Draco before bolting out the door. Once outside, he went to a secluded spot at Hogsmeade and put up a Silencing spell around him as he screamed in pain.

Severus: Well, at least your doing your part.
me: HEY! Anywho, anyone watches Naruto Shippuden beside me? I like the English version better than the Japanese. I don't know why. I do watch the Japanese episodes if I can't find the English version online.
Harry: We'll be onto the next chapter soon.
Draco: Review and update.
