"Damn that woman likes to keep me busy." I grumbled as I walked to my career talk with McGonagall. I passed Harry on my way.
"Hello Miss Evans." a VERY mad McGonagall greeted.
"Good evening Miss Evans." Umbridge said in her way too sweet voice from where she was obviously fuming in the corner
"Sit please." McGonagall inclined her head to a chair in front of her desk with its back to Umbridge. I sat obediently. "So have you decided what you would like to do for a career?" McGonagall asked.
Umbridge coughed fakely. "Minerva, this one you shouldn't have to ask. I would think it would be obvious she is best suited for the ministry."
"I don't think I asked you Dolores."
Umbridge flared with anger.
"I actually have only thought to continue my life amongst the hall of Hogwarts." I skirted around the question by giving something that sounded like an answer.
"Really?" Curiosity bloomed in Umbridge's eyes.
"That is a wonderful choice for your unique capabilities. You would work very well here." She had caught me easily trying to avoid the question and was dead set on helping me. "If that is your plan then you will do very well despite not attending a Wizzarding school first year. And your scores from beaux batons were exceedingly high as well. Hmmm..." She grabbed a book off the shelf and thrust the large book at me. I grinned at the prospect of something new to read. "That should give you some new knowledge. Now off with you Miss Evans."
I followed her command before Umbridge could stop me.
Fred waited for me outside the door. When I walked out and closed the door his arms immediately slipped around my waist and he hugged me to him as we walked. I noticed as soon as his second arm snaked around me something was up.
"Today huh." I looked up at him. He nodded and kissed me since he had the chance. Once he had finished we had finished I leaned my head back onto his shoulder as we continued to walk. George and Alex appeared around the corner walking hand in hand. Alex gave him a sad smile and he swept her up and kissed her thoroughly before placing her back on her feet and watching her walk away.
He turned to me. "Kiddo..." George started.
"Don't worry, Stock me up on Weasly merchandise and I'll give her all the Hell I can manage without being discovered."
"That's my girl." Fred whispered in my ear.
"Here." George handed me a bag. "It has more stuff in it then it looks. That will keep you occupied for a while."
Fred kissed me one more time and then he and George went off to make trouble.
I sat on the stairs looking down as Fred and George played it up to their audience. A s soon as being whipped was suggested they suggested it was time to leave. Their brooms broke themselves out of Umbridge's office. They sped past me on either side inches from my head.
"Give her hell for us Peeve's...you too kiddo." With that they flew off receiving an applause from all the students and the teachers who didn't think Umbridge was looking
