I glared the Quidditch pitch irritated beyond my limits. Umbridge, the overly sugar coated, fat toad, had been terrified something would happen during the match and was forcing me to skip the match and sit with her.
"They're up to something. Go and follow them Evans." Umbridge ordered me.
I looked over to see Harry, Hermione, and Hagrid leaving the stadium. "Yes ma'am." I scurried after them.
"Quickly, before we're spotted." Hagrid said.
"Too late." I told him walking on the path next to his house. "You're just lucky she sent me when she saw you leave."
Hermione looked at Hagrid questioningly and reached for her wand.
"You're right Sammay, we are lucky its only you. You come too." He walked into the forest. Harry began asking him worried questions as he and Hermione stumbled through the branches. I followed easily behind them, used to the forest.
"May we light our wands?" Hermione asked.
"Yes.." He stopped and turned, almost knocking Hermione over. He was close to tears as he stuttered through asking us for help. Of course we all agreed and then we began to walk again.
We walked up to find an enormous form of a creature. I scurried up the barrier of trunks and sat to get a better view of the large thing.
Hagrid, Hermione, and Harry were frantically discussing the thing as I looked down at it. "Gwarp huh?" I mumbled smiling.
"I'll help." I promised after Harry and Hermione agreed to help.
"Thats great. I'll just introduce you."
"Sorry, but that will have to wait for me. I got to go "report" what I've seen here."
Hermione looked up at me worried."Don't worry, I'll spin a tale for her." I waved and darted off.
I ran through the forest, but on my way a large form stood in front of me.
"Hello Bane." I stopped. "Is there something you'd like."
"Why are you hear foal Evans."
"Just passing through. May I leave. The hag that now controls the school wants to see me. Farewell." I walked past without waiting for an answer. He did not stop me.
I got to the Quidditch pitch just in time to see the Ginny catch the snitch. The entire stadium was echoing with a chorus of a modified "Weasly is Our King' by the Gryffindors. I grinned. "Atta boy Ron, show them what you got." I laughed before heading up to where Umbridge and some VERY unhappy Slytherin inquisitors sat.
"So? Where did they go?" Umbridge asked when she saw me.
I thought for a moment, pretending to look as if I was gathering all the facts. "They went down to the pond. One of the forest animals made a nasty mess by pooping and urinating all over. Hagrid had them helping clean it up." I put plainly.
"Is that all?" she looked utterly delighted by the prospect of the "troublemakers" cleaning up dung
"Yes," I smiled at her.
I no longer had the privilege of eating meals since Umbridge had me running around so much. She was absolutely frantic that everything would be perfect for the OWLS of her first year as headmistress. I rarely even got the chance to go to classes anymore. Out of all the inquisitors she somehow trusted me the most. The funniest part of that is that I was the least loyal. The only free time I had was late at night. It was the only time I could study. I hadn't even been able to send in orders or letters to Fred and George. I picked up the shoebox from my bed to place it on the table but realized it was heavy. I opened the lid to find food.
"EAT NOW LOVE" said a small note attached to it. I grinned and went down to the now empty commons to eat my food.
"How did you know?" I wrote back to him once I'd finished my food.
"If you don't even have time to write to me its obvious you don't have time to eat or sleep. I'm going to murder that toad for overworking you so much. Don't think I won't. Now go to sleep its late. I love you." The note was almost immediate.
"I love you too Fred. Goodnight."
