Chapter 8: Getting Back At Umbridge
Harry was the first to wake in his dormitory Monday morning. He just laid there a moment staring up at his four-poster hangings. He yawned, then grinned as he thought about how he and his friends have planed and talked all weekend long for what was going to start this morning, which is what him and his friends called: Operation: Get Rid of Umbridge.
Harry grinned even more as he pulled aside the hangings, the only sound in the room apart from Harry opening his trunk was the sound of brides tatting outside. His follow Ravenclaws had already got up and dressed and left for elsewhere. They have done that all week, hoping to avoid Harry as much as possible they get up at an ungodly hour and dressed and just sat around in the common room chatting while they waited for breakfast. Harry stopped letting it bother him though, as he knew he and his friends had other things on their minds then idiotic boys who were too stupid to think for themselves and believe what their parents and paper told them to believe.
A good part of their plan was done last night, while the other's in the castle slept, Harry and his friends were under his cloak and up to no good. He grinned when he thought of what was to come and everyone's reaction.
Ignoring his school uniform and his wizard robes, Harry looked around in his trunk until he came upon his muggle stuff. He picked out black baggy jeans and a black T-shirt that had a picture of a did not disturb sign on it and under the sign was the words: I'm Disturbed Enough Already.
The shirt had been a joke gift from Cody once and Harry had only worn it a couple of times, but he figured people thought he was crazy anyway, might as well. Besides, he, and his friends decided to wear muggle clothes just to further Umbridge's angry.
Harry quickly dressed, then used a spell to brighten the green streaks in his hair back up, they had been fading, as the spell was wearing off. He even put a few more streaks in it. Now most the top of his hair was the same bright green as his eyes. He turned from the mirror grabbed his bag and headed down to the common room.
"Nice shirt." Ginny said to him, as he made it down the last step. Harry didn't say anything all he could do was to stare at what she was wearing. Ginny had on black jeans, that had dark blue studs all over the bottom, and they hung low on Ginny's hips. She also wore a black top with puffy sleeves, that hung off her shoulders, and came up above her stomach showing off both the griffin tattoo on her back and the heart and dagger tattoo next to her belly button. Her red hair was hanging down her back with dark blue sparkles all in it.
"You look..." Harry stumbled, looking her up and down, Ginny blushed at the attention and took his hand and brought him out of his daze. He smiled at her and leaned in for a kissed her.
They walked from the common room to the Great Hall, Harry with his arm around Ginny's shoulder and Ginny with hers around Harry's waist. People stared at them as they walked by. Mostly boys staring at Ginny, which ticked Harry off, but he held it in. When he saw she didn't even noticed all the attention because she had her attention on him.
As they walked they past all kinds of posters hanging on the wall that had Umbridge's face on it with the word: No More Umbridge. Harry smirked every time he passed one. Just one of the many things they did last night to set their plan in motion. They had decided that even though she would know they did it;, Umbridge would have no poof. So not to draw attention to them, they decided not to act like they noticed the posters. But everyone else was pointing and whispering, most was laughing.
Rigel and Teddy were waiting for them outside the Great Hall. Like Harry and Ginny, they were dressed like muggles: Rigel in blue Jeans, and a T-shirt that said: 'Whatever you're doing To look Stupid, Keep Doing it. It's Working For you'
Teddy was wearing his pants with zippers all over them, he added a few safety pins, and a T-shirt that read: 'Whatever it was...I didn't do it.'
His hair was back to a spike mohawk, that was rainbow. The spikes were about five inches tall. Harry reached a hand out to touch it and Teddy smacked it away.
"Do you know how hard it is to make my hair all rainbow or how long it takes to get it this spiky." He demanded. Harry just rolled his eyes. But he was happy to see his good friend back to his old self.
"You guys ready?" Harry asked, taking his arm from around Ginny and taking her hand.
"Ready," the others said. And together they walked into the Great Hall. Ginny and Harry separated from the others and headed to the Ravenclaw Table. This was all a part of their plan, the whole weekend they had been all their best behavior following the rules, (besides eating in the kitchen) not getting in trouble and even wearing the required uniform. All to get ready for today. A calm before the storm type of thing.
Ginny and Harry sat on the side of the table facing the Gryffindors. They sat quietly and ate, as people stared at what they were wearing. Umbridge had yet to enter the Great Hall, which is why they didn't do anything yet. And Umbrideg did not show up until they had almost eaten their breakfast, as she walked past she didn't even glanced at any of the students. Harry looked up and gave Rigel the okay nod. He smirked back, and gave his one a little wave at once a banner they hung up behind the staff table last night dropped and the Great Hall burst into laughter (All but the Slytherins of course)
On the banner behind the staff table was a picture of a toad wearing pink robes and a little pink bow on her head, there was a circle around it and then a red line going across it. Under the picture was the words: NO MORE TOAD. And the banner was enchanted to make toad like noises. As the toad hopped around the red circle.
Umbridge stopped as she had almost reached the staff and pointed at the banner.
"Who did it?" She demanded. "I swear when I find out the person responsable..." Her eyes find Harry's. "Mr. Potter, I know you are behind this somehow..."
"Madam Umbridge." Professor Grimes called from the staff table. He wasn't eating anything, only drinking from a black Goblet. "You cannot punish a student without proof of their wrong doings."
Umbridge's face turned from Harry's and she glared up at Professor Grimes. "Now listen here you filthy half-breed. I will not be told who I can and can't punish. I know it was Potter's doing, therefore I shall punish him as I see fit." Harry could have sworn his dark brown eyes turned for a slight moment to a light blue before returning to their normal color.
"Professor Umbridge." Flitwick spoke up. "Professor Grimes is right. When it comes to things like this.." He pointed to the banner. "You cannot accuse a student unless you have proof or more than one eye-witness to the crime. It's in the rules. Surly, someone such as yourself read the rule book new Professors are given when they start work here."
Umbridge's eyes flashed angrily before she gave a sicken sweet smile. "Yes, of course, Professor, I just got carried away there." She turned back to the students. "I must ask if anyone knows anything about the banner, please come to me with your information. Thank you." She turned and left the Great Hall.
"Come on, we should get to class." Ginny said. Harry nodded and stood. As he left the Great Hall, Harry glanced back at the banner, then his eyes fell to Professor Grimes, who winked at Harry and raised his glass as if in toast before taking a drink. Harry turned around and followed Ginny out of the Great Hall.
Their first class of the day was History of Magic. Harry and Ginny past notes all through class and not listened to Professor Binns. All morning, students laughed and talked about what happened in the Great Hall that morning, or the posters that, even though Umbridge took some down, seemed like there was even more up than before. Almost as if for every one taken down two pops back up in its place. Knowing Harry and his friends, that was probably the case. And the banner in the Great Hall had a sticking charm on it and no one could get it down.
The posters and the banners weren't the only thing that happened that day, right after everyone's first class had ended and they headed to the next, there was suddenly paper birds flying all over the place, attacking everyone from Slytherins to Umbridge and a couple of the real nasty people who did not believe Harry and has told a lot of bad things about him. By lunch time there was a lot of students in very bad moods from being attacked by birds made of parchment. Not to mention being covered in paper cuts.
The last class Harry had before lunch was potions, Ginny and he took their usual seats at the back of the room. Snape sneered down at them as he handed them their Moonstone eassy back.
"Ten points each, Potter and Weasley, for dressing in muggle clothing." Snape said. Harry and Ginny just rolled their eyes. Harry looked down at his eassy to see a large black D staring up at him.
"I have awarded you the grades you would have received if you presented this work in your "O.W.L.' Snape said. "This should give you a realistic idea of what to expect in your examination."
Snape reached the front of the class and turned around to face them.
"The general standard of this homework was abysmal. Most of you would have failed had this been your examination. I expect to see a great deal more effort for this week's eassy on the various varieties of venom antidote, or I shall have to start handing out detentions to those dunces who gets D's."
Harry felt Ginny nudge him in the side and he looked over at him, she nodded to his paper. Harry shrugged and handed it to her. She frowned at the D, and sat up and started reading Harry's work. Her frown got deeper and deeper each line she read. Harry reached over and picked her paper up to see an A. He frowned, knowing Ginny could get better than that.
"He didn't grade you fairly." Ginny said. When she was done reading. "You should have at least got an A." Harry just shrugged he didn't really care. After they put their papers in their bags they got to work on today's lesson.
After class Harry and Ginny made their way down to the Great Hall with Ginny still grumbling about Snape not being fair and how her and Harry should have gotten higher grades. When Harry entered the Great Hall he was happy to see the teachers were not able to take the banner down. But then maybe they just wasn't trying too hard. Harry looked up at the staff table and Professor Grimes raised his goblet to him like he had done that morning and gave him a wink. Harry smiled back and sat down to eat.
After lunch Harry and his friends had Defense Against the Dark Arts and they purposely took seats in the front of the room. Rigel and Teddy on either end and Harry and Ginny in the middle. The moment Umbridge closed the class door with a Good evening, the four friends popped their feet up on the table in front of them.
"Wands away, please." Umbridge said walking toward the front which was useless to say since no one even bothered to get any out. "Now as we finished chapter one last lessen, I would like you all to turn to chapter two and read." She looked across the class as students silently got out their books and opened to the right page. Her eyes fell on Harry and his friends.
"Potter, Lupin, Black, and Weasley, what do you think you are wearing?" She demanded.
"Clothes." Ginny said. Harry and Teddy snickered as Rigel smirked.
"You're are not in your school uniform, ." Umbridge said. "None of you are."
"Really?" Teddy asked, faking surprised. "I hadn't noticed." He looked down and gasped as if in shock. "Who changed my clothes?" The whole class started laughing.
"Mr. Lupin that will be twenty pointes from Gryffindor for your check." Umbridge snapped. " Then another twenty for your clothes, twenty for Mr. Black's clothes and forty from Ravenclaw for Mr. Potter and Miss. Weasely's clothes. On top of another ten for her smart mouth. I will not have my class disrupted. Now get your feet off the table and get to reading." Harry, Teddy, and Ginny sat their feet on the floor. But Rigel's reminded.
"Mr. Black." Umbrideg said. Rigel looked up from the book he was pretending to read. Which wasn't his text book, but Quidditch through the ages.
"What." He demanded. "You said read, you didn't say what. So I'm reading this." He held up his book and Umbridge frowned.
"I meant your text book, Mr. Black." Umbridge said. "And feet off the table." Rigel slammed down his book and picked up the text book, but yet his feet remained. Umbrige opened her mouth, but at that time Padma Petal rasied her hand.
"Yes, Miss Petal, did you have a question?" Umbridge said.
"Well, ma'am. I already read chapter two." She said. Umbridge's eyebrows rose.
"Then turned to chapter three, dear." Umbridge said.
"I already read that too." Padma said. "I read the whole book." Umbridge frowned.
"Then you should be able to tell me what Slinkhard says about counter jinxes in chapter fifteen."
"He says that counter jinxes are improperly named." Padma said. Ginny frowned and flipped her book to fifteen and started reading. "He says counter jinxes is just a name people give their jinxes when they want to make them sound more acceptable." Umbridge's eyebrows went higher. "But I disagree."
"You disagree." Umbridge said.
"Yes I do." Padma said. "Mr. Slinkhard doesn't like jinxes, does he? But I think they can be very useful when they've used defensively."
"Oh you do, do you." Umbridge asked. "Well, I'm afraid it is Mr. Slinkhard's opinion, and not yours that matters within this class. Miss. Petal."
"But-"
"That is enough." Umbridge snapped. "Miss. Petal, I am going to take five points from Ravenclaw."
"What for?" Rigel demanded. Sounding angry, which Harry couldn't understand why, he wasn't in Ravenclaw or was he friends with Padma Patel.
"For disrupting my class with pointless interruptions. Umbridge said. "I am here to teach you using a Ministry-approvel method that does not..."
"Ministry approved my ass." Rigel snapped tossing his book o to the floor. "Fudge is just too scared to believe the truth that Voldemort is back. So he made up so stupid idiotic thing in his mind about Dumbledore wanting to take his job and so he's interfering in Hogwarts and sending his little toad to spy on a castle full of kids."
"Mr. Black, I want you out of my clas room right now." Umbridge said. "I will not have you spearing such lies about the Minister. And I want to see you here tonight and tomorrow for a detention." Rigel glared at Umbridge grabbed his bag and stormed out of the class slamming the door as he went.
"Ohh, poor Rigel." Harry heard Padma say and he rolled his eyes, pretty sure he knew who number nine was going to be.
"Now, I would like the rest of you to please get back to reading." Umbridge said. "And the next student that calls me a toad will land a detention writing lines." She sat back down and the class went silent.
After five minutes of complete silence it was broken by the sound of Ginny doing frog noises, the class started snickering. Umbridge looked up.
"Who is doing that?" She demanded. The class stopped snickering. "I said who..." She was cut off by Ginny's frog noise. Harry and Teddy started laughing, soon the whole class was laughing. "Who is... Miss. Wesaley that is you isn't it that will be..."
"No," Harry spoke up. Umbridge looked at him.
"What do you mean no?" She demanded.
"It wasn't Ginny...it was me." Harry said. Harry didn't care if he landed another detention of cutting his hand open and writing in his own blood, as long as it was him going through that pain and not Ginny.
Umbridge looked from Ginny to Harry obviously not believing him, but deciding she rather give Harry a detention than Ginny she didn't say anything.
"Alright then, Mr. Potter, you will have a detention tonight at eight. Now everyone be quite and get back to reading."
"Harry, why did you do that?" Ginny demanded. "Your hand hasn't even fully healed from the last detentions."
"Yeah, well, I rather it be my hand getting cut up than yours." Harry said, shoving his book in his bag. "Besides, don't I still owe you one from last year." He winked at her.
"Harry, I don't know rather I should smack you or kiss you." Ginny said.
"I would smack him." Teddy leaned over and said. Harry glared at him, but Ginny laughed a little. The bell finally rang and they stood and made their way out of class and down to dinner.
It was way after midnight when Harry left Umbridge's office that night, his hand now bleeding so severely that it was staining the scarf he had wrapped around it. Rigel had not showed up to do his detention; and Umbridge had taken it out on Harry making him do extra line: The reason his hand was bleeding so much.
When he told the eagle door knocker the answer to the Riddle it gave, and entered he only excepted Ginny to be waiting for him, but got a little surprise to see both Teddy and Rigel there.
At seeing him Ginny jumped up out of her chair and rushed over to him. She gasped at the sight of Harry's hand, and took his unhurt one and led him to the chair she just got out of and made him sit down, she then picked up a bowl sitting on the table next to it that was full of a yellow liquid, she then sat down on the table next to him and held the bowl out to him.
"Here, baby, put your hand in this." She said. Harry took the bowl with his unharmed hand and Ginny gently took hold of his arm and unwrapped the scarf he had around his hand. Then Harry put his hand in the bowl and it stopped hurting at once.
"What is this stuff." Harry asked.
"A solution of strained and pickled murtlap tentacles." Ginny said. She took hold of the bowl and held Harry's hand down in it. "Hermione said it would be the best for painful cuts. When I asked her...Don't worry." Ginny added when Harry opened his mouth. "I didn't give anything away, so she shouldn't suspect anything." Harry gave a nod and closed his eyes and leaned his head back.
"Lightning, I didn't think you would ever come out of detention." Teddy said.
"Yeah, well, Umbridge made me do extra lines since Rigel didn't show." Harry said.
"Oh, Mate, I didn't realize she would do that." Rigel said.
"Don't worry about it, Trouble." Harry said. "It's not your fault Umbridge is a sick toad." Harry opened his eyes and looked over at Ginny, she looked close to tears as she bit her lip and looked down at his hand.
"Hey, now, don't you feel guilty either, Gin Gin.' Harry said. Ginny looked up at him and he gave her a small smile. "Like I said before I rather it me hurt than you."
"And I rather it was me." Ginny said.
"And I rather keep my dinner." Rigel spoke up, "so, if you don't mind stop the mushy stuff." Harry rolled his eyes, looked back at Ginny with a grin and patted his lap, but before she could get off the table to sit in it, Chaser ran from out of nowhere and jumped up and curled in it. Ginny and Harry laughed as he took his good hand and scratched behind his ears.
"I still think you should complain." Teddy said.
"Complain to whom?'' Rigel demanded. "The other professors might yell and go nuts, but what could they really do about a ministry toad. Even Dumbeldore wouldn't have the power to do anything with the Ministry backing her. The school governors are made up of Ministry workers and people in Fudge's pocket. I'm still surprised none of us had gotten expelled this pass summer. And if Dumbledore complained or tried to put a stop to it they would just boot him out and put some Ministry kiss ass as Headmaster."
"She is an awful toad." Ginny cried. "Just awful and heartless. We need to do something about her."
"Like what, Sassy, we can call her a toad and make banners about her and hang posters on the wall, but that's about it." Teddy said. "We even dressed like this, and she barely did anything about it. I think she's up to something."
"I meant something about the dreadful teaching she' doing." Ginny said. "Her and the Ministry are stopping us from learning anything. Stopping everyone from learning how to protect themselves. I for one is sick of having useless defense teachers one after the other...I don't mean your dad, Morph...and I think most the student body would agree."
"And how the hell are you going to do that?" Rigel demanded.
"Well, after reading that chapter Padma mentioned and seeing how basically the book is trying to put it in our heads that defense it wrong. It got me thinking." Ginny gave Harry sweet small he did not like. It told him Ginny was up to something and it had to do with him.
"It got me thinking that-maybe we should do it ourselves." Ginny went on. Harry frowned at her.
"Do what ourselves?" Teddy asked.
"Defense, " Ginny said. "Learn it ourselves."
"We already know it." Rigel said. "So, what's the use."
"We don't know everything." Ginny argued. "What about not getting rusty. If we can't do spells we'll forget or get rusty. This isn't just about Umbridge. It's about preparing ourselves. Do you think Voldemort is just going to stay hidden away? How are we going to know how to fight when the time comes if we don't do anything?"
"We can't do much ourselves." Teddy said. "I mean we can go look stuff up in the library and try to practice them, I suppose-"
"No, I agree, we've gone past the stage where we can just learn things out of our books...
Teddy cut Ginny off with a choking like noise and we fell to the floor acting like he was having some kind of fit. She just rolled her eyes.
"I can't believe it!" He cried, as he grabbed his chest. "Ginny said we can't learn from books, the world has come to an end." Ginny glared at him and just went on.
"We need a teacher." Ginny said, turning to Harry. "A proper one, who can show us how to use the spells and correct us if we're doing wrong-"
"And just who the hell are you talking about?" Rigel kicked at Teddy, who was still lying in the floor. "Get up!"
"Isn't it obvious!" Ginny cried, smiling. "I'm talking about Harry." There was a moment of silence the Teddy burst out laughing.
"Harry teach us." He cried. "That's funny." Harry glared at him, then turned back to Ginny.
"What do you mean you're talking about Harry?" He demanded.
"I'm talking about you teaching us defense." Ginny said. Harry stared at her like she had lost her mind.
"That's a good idea." Surprisingly Rigel agreed. Harry then turned to him like he was crazy too.
"What?" Harry demanded. "You both have gone nutters."
"Harry, you're the best in the year in Defense of the Dark Arts." Ginny. "If you don't count Umbridge's useless classes."
"You're even better than some fifth and sixth years." Rigel said. "Just look what you've done."
"What I've done?" Harry asked. "What are you talking about?"
"You know?" Teddy said, sitting up and leaning against Rigel's chair. "I don't think I what someone this dumb teach me." Rigel snickered. And Harry and Ginny glared at him.
"Let's see." Teddy said. Pulling on a thinking face, his mohawk shrunk to be a head of messy black hair, and his eyes turned a bright green. At that moment he looked so much like Harry, It crept him out.
"In first year...let's see what was it you did?" Teddy acted like he had to think a moment. "Oh, yes, you stopped Voldemorty from getting the stone."
"But that was luck and I had you three helping me." Harry said.
"You ended up getting the stone by yourself though." Rigel pointed out.
"And second year." Teddy said. "You killed a basilisk."
"And but you guys helped me with that and you can't say you didn't." Harry said. "If Rigel hadn't been able to pulled the sword out of the sorting hat...
"But if you hadn't been so loyal to Dumbeldore Fawkes wouldn't even had showed up with the hat." Rigel said.
"And you're the one that stabbed the basilisk." Ginny added.
"And I didn't help with anything. Neither did Sassy" Teddy said. "We were stuck in the tunnel with Lockhart remember."
"Yeah, I ended up being bit and almost dying from poison." Harry said. And it was Rigel who stopped Riddle by stabbing the dairy with the tooth."
"Okay, you had help with that." Ginny said. "But what about last year? Look what all..."
"What got Cedric killed?" Harry demanded. His voice had raised a little so Chaser jumped down from his lap and ran over and hide in Teddy's side.
"Harry, that wasn't your fault, Baby." Ginny said. "And I was talking about the tournament. You got passed a dragon, sphinx, and all that."
"And you fought Voldemort one on one again and for the second time lived to tell." Teddy said. Harry sighed and ran his hand through his hair. "Most people don't live past one fight with ole' snake face."
"Listen to me!" Harry almost shouted. "Just listen to me please. It sounds great when you say it like that, but all that stuff was luck-I didn't know what I was doing half the time, I didn't plan any of it, I just did whatever I could think of, and I nearly always had help-why are you smiling?"
"Because, Baby, you just proved our point about why you should be our teacher." Ginny said calmly, she ran her hand through his hair, calming him a little. Harry glanced at Rigel and Teddy, Rigel nodded in agreement and Teddy just shrugged.
"Baby, just listen for a sec, okay?" Ginny asked. Harry nodded. "You are right and believe me we do understand that you can't just plan stuff like that. That's why you would make a good teacher. You've been through it. Isn't it important for people to know that. To know, it just isn't about learning spells from the text book or sitting and reading a bunch of rubbish."
"Hold up there." Harry said. "When you say people-"
"Well, I was thinking you could teach a few of the Hogwarts students." Ginny said. Harry shook his head.
"I might have be wlling to teach you guys." Harry said. Or even Britney and her friend, but a bunch of students."
"Harry, doesn't everyone have a right to learn to protect themselves." Ginny asked. Harry groaned and laid his head back.
"How about I'll think about it?" Harry asked, raising his head back up. Ginny beamed as if he had just said yes.
"Brilliant." She leaned in and gave him a long kiss before breaking it and standing. "I'm getting pretty tired, so I think I'll go on to bed." She starched walked over and picked up Chaser and went on up the stairs with him.
"We should go on back to Gryffindor tower." Rigel said, standing. Teddy nodded and stood also. Harry pulled his cloak out of his bag and tossed it to them.
"Here, so you don't get caught." Harry said.
"Thanks, Mate." Teddy said. As they passed Harry out of the room Rigel stopped and patted his shoulder. When the door shut behind them Harry leaned back and closed his eyes.
A minute or so passed when Harry finally got up to go to bed. He was just pulling the hangings back to crawl in when he heard a tapping noise. Harry looked up and sitting on a window sill was a raven, it was looking right at him. Then held its talon out. Harry saw tied to its talon was a black piece of parchment. Harry rushed over to the window and opened it. Not caring if he woke any of his dorm mates. He reached out and took the note from the raven's leg and it flew off at once. Harry unfolded the letter there was only two words written in silver ink. : Quidditch Pitch.
Harry slammed the window closed, got in his trunk grabbed his coat (since it had gotten chilly outside) then grabbed the silver Raven Sophie had given him and put it around his neck. Something told him he shouldn't go see her without wearing it. He then turned and flew out the dorm. He ran down the corridor and down every stairway and out the front door. He then ran all the way to the Quiddtich field.
Sophie was standing in the middle of the pitch in black and silver robes. When Harry came up to her he dropped to his knees out of breath.
"Do not tell me you ran all the way down here?" Sophie said. Harry nodded his head and looked up at her.
"What...what did you want?" He asked. Sophie gave him a small smile reached down and pulled Harry to his feet. With surprising strength.
"I was sent here by Vaughn." Sophie said. "We got your letter and he wants you to know he is happy you accepted our offer to help. Sorry, I haven't told you sooner, but I have been very busy. And only just found the time."
Harry nodded, wanting to ask her what she has been busy doing, but stop himself he had a feel Sophie wouldn't tell him. They were quiet a moment, Harry staring at his feet and Sophie watching him.
"Caleb told me to tell you hi." Sophie said. "My husband seems to have taken a liking to you."
"Yeah, he seemed like good bloke." Harry said. Truth was he had liked Caleb too. He was cool.
"Do not worry that Dumbledore refused Vaughn's help." Sophie said. "He will still help you if you will allow it. " Harry's head snapped up to look at her. "Like he said you are the only one with the right to decide who helps. After all you are the one Voldemort wants dead. We'll just have to work with you and leave Voldemort and the Order of the Phoenix out of it."
"Hang on, Dumbledore refused Vaughn's help?" Harry demanded. "Why?"
"He does not agree with a lot of his views." Sophie said. "Plus, he did not believe that his Order members would like working closely with our clan. Considering what we are."
"What are you?" Harry asked. Sophie smiled.
"You haven't figured it out yet?" She asked. "And you're suppose to be a Ravenclaw. I think I'll just keep it to myself for a while. See if you finally figure it out."
"To be honest I haven't really thought much about it." Harry said. "But let's get back to Dumbledore refusing your help. When did he do that?"
"Before school started." Sophie said. "What do you think was in that letter he gave you to give to Dumbledore."
Harry kicked a rock suddenly feeling anger. "I can't believe this. Voldemort is back. No one believes me. Dumbeldore isn't really doing anything and...and he refuses help by someone, I assume can be a very powerful alie. Who cares what he is. Remus Lupin is a Werewolf the Order doesn't mind him around."
"You are a kind soul, Brother." Sophie said. "But in some ways what we are, is even hated more than Werewolves. Most the time we choose to be what we are and...Well we don't change only on full moons, we are always as we are. We are considered even darker creatures than Werewolves."
"That's not right." Harry said. "Neither should be considered dark unless you run around ripping innocent people apart."
"Most my kind does." Sophie said. Harry frowned at her. "My clan and our sister clans does not, but there is some that do."
Harry kicked at the ground again. "I just can't believe Dumbledore, refusing the only ones willing to believe or help the order and allowing some Ministry spy to teach defense."
"I heard about her." Sophie said. "Next to Voldemort she is the most hated person by my clan. I heard you have been in a lot if Detentions with her. How were they?"
Harry said nothing at first, he looked into Sophie's bright green eyes that was so much like his...so much like their mother's. He sighed and turned away. He had a feeling if he told Sophie the whole truth she would do something that would land her in Azkaban.
"We write lines." Harry told her. "She makes us write lines. No biggy." He shrugged like it was no big deal, but he could tell by the way his sister was studying him she did not believe it.
Harry and Sophie talked just a little more, before Harry went back up to Ravenclaw Tower. He was so mad at Dumbeldore, refusing the only people willing to help them put a stop to Voldemort. Who cares what they were. One happened to be his sister. He sits and does nothing to try stop Voldemort he could at least try to come up with proof Harry's telling the truth instead of letting the Wizard World believe he is nuts. He just allowed a Ministry toad to come in and start slicing people's hands open. Well, Harry wasn't going to stand for that.
The moment he got back to Ravenclaw Tower he stood at the bottom of the stairs and whistle. Chaser came running down, Harry pulled a quill and piece of parchment out of his pocket. He wrote down: I'll do it. Then tucked it in Chaser's dog collar.
"Give that to Ginny the moment she wakes up." Harry told him. The little dog gave a small bark and ran back up the stairway. Harry then turned and went up to bed. He wondered if he could get by with sleeping in tomorrow and skipping whatever classes if has.
A.N. I'm going to end tha chapter there, hope it was good and don't worry, they'll do even more to Umbridge later. And I'm thinking about since Harry is ticked at Dumbledore, I'm thinking about changing the D.A's name if I can that of something good.
