Just be honest with them :D

On with the chapter we go then! XD

The first week flew by like an owl and the Quidditch game drew even closer. In the practices for the game, Jack learned that he had to catch a small golden ball which was called the Snitch but it was lighting fast which was the tricky part. Since there was only one Seeker on each team, whichever Seeker caught it first, would win and end the game.

He had gotten quite good on the broom without the wind but that didn't slide his nerves. What if he let the whole of Gryffindor down? That was his main worry. But he wouldn't be alone so that was a little comforting. The homework that he had had over the four days was too much to bear but miraculously he had managed to give it in all on time. Although Baby Tooth wasn't too keen on Transfiguration classes but Jack hadn't managed to turn her into anything that she shouldn't be which she was grateful for. He had quickly become a favourite for teachers, minus Snape and Umbridge. Well Umbridge didn't hate him, she just wasn't not fond of his first outburst. Snape most definitely hated him but he couldn't take points of any of the Gryffindors when he was around which made a surprising change. But that didn't stop him giving the Gryffindors extra work and the Slytherins got the easiest work.

Jack still was cautious around Snape but he put him at the back of his mind for now. Star kept her word and was watching Umbridge and to see who went into detention by sucking up to Umbridge and Jack had to stuff a tissue in his mouth when Star complimented Umbridge's hideous pink outfit. But Star reported to Jack that no one else apart from Harry, had gone to any detentions with her and she saw nothing unusual but had a glimpse inside of her office which she said was painted pink and had dozens of cats all over the walls which she found was rather disturbing.

Harry had been rather miserable all week and Jack still saw Harry pulling his sleeve down over his hand. He said nothing as he didn't want to cause an argument. But on the night before the game in the morning, everyone found out what Harry was hiding. Star was sitting by the fire, munching on a cupcake that she had in mail, Hermione was reading a book and Ron was also eating a cupcake as Star had asked her parents to send an extra few for everyone. Jack was writing on a piece of parchment as he hadn't told the Guardians that he was playing Quidditch yet.

Hey guys,

Sorry I haven't written in while, but I have been busy with homework and looking out for teachers. Yeah I think there is something going on with Umbridge and I don't think Dumbledore has told her about and that's good! I don't want her to know about me. I have been spying on her. I know you said not to blow my cover but I have it under control. I have asked a friend to help me. She is in the same house as me and she is really cool. Don't worry; I haven't told her about me yet, I played it cool. I only asked her since it would be easier and also because Harry is hiding something and we want to know what it is. Oh, I don't know if it's anything to do with Hogwarts but I have seen a few shadows around here; in classrooms and on the Quidditch field yesterday.

Oh yeah, I forgot to say, I'm on the Quidditch team as a Seeker! It's so cool and the game is tomorrow! Is it possible for you to come and see me? That would be awesome. I miss you guys and yes, even you Bunny. Please come?

Jack

Jack folded up the parchment and the flopped back on the couch. "I really hope I don't screw up tomorrow" Jack said.

"You won't. Wood has said how much you have been practicing" Hermione said looking up.

"Yeah, you'll be fine" Ron agreed with cupcake icing covering his chin. Jack laughed at him as did Star and he was about to ask her something but the sound of footsteps coming made them stop. Harry came walking towards them with a weak smile.

"Hey Jack, just wanted to wish you good luck for tomorrow" Harry said and Jack grinned.

"I'm gonna need it" he replied but Star shook her head.

"No you won't, Malfoy is playing as a Seeker. I wouldn't be too alarmed if he somehow fell off his broom" Star said with a wink but Hermione looked at her sternly.

"You know the rules" she said and Star rolled her eyes.

"Screw the rules" she said and now everyone laughed at that comment and how she said it too. But as Star rolled her eyes, she noticed something red on Harry's hand. "Harry… what's that on your hand?" she asked and Harry stopped laughing and covered his hand.

"Nothing" he said, quickly retreating away and up to the dormitory but a nearby set of draws moved and blocked the way up. Harry looked back to see that Jack had his wand out and had moved the chest set.

"Someone's been practicing" Star said as she got up and Jack pretended to blow the top of his wand.

"Indeed I have" he said, quite impressed with himself as he actually had been paying attention to classes much more than he thought he would. Hermione put down her book and Ron swallowed the rest of his cupcake.

"Can you get your parents to send more of those? They're bloody brilliant" he said and Star nodded.

"Yeah sure. But first, down to business. Harry, what has Umbridge really been making you do in detention?" Star questioned and Harry shrugged.

"Lines" he replied but Jack knew at once that he wasn't telling them the complete truth.

"Really? Then why are you covering up your hand like that? You've been doing it ever since you been to detention with the old toad" Jack said and Hermione actually grinned at that last bit.

Star then held out her hand. "Give me your hand" she instructed. Harry held up his right hand but Star glared at him. "The other one" she said Harry sighed in defeat and held up his other hand and Star snatched it, noticing his wince as she did so. As she pulled the sleeve back she could help but gasp and she saw the red writing that was sort of scratched into his hand.

I must not tell lies.

Jack's blue eyes widened as he saw this and he ran his finger over the words, literally feeling the burning pain radiating from it and he carefully lowered the temperature so when his finger ran over it, it cooled down.

"Harry, did Umbridge do this?" Hermione demanded.

"Not physically no. She has these weird quills that don't need ink. When you write on the parchment, whatever you write goes onto your hand but it takes a while to sink in as she says" Harry told them, remembering how much it hurt the first time. Jack sighed as his suspicions were confirmed. Umbridge wasn't good at all and he remembered a quote that he had heard before. 'Look like the flower but be the serpent beneath it.'

He never knew what it meant but now he understood completely. "Mate, you have to tell Umbridge about this" Ron said. "The woman is bloody torturing you."

"No, Dumbledore has enough on his mind right now" Harry replied simply.

"You mean you don't want to give Umbridge the satisfaction?" Jack asked and Harry looked away guiltily when he said that.

"If the parents knew about this…" Hermione started.

"Yeah well I haven't got any of those have I?" Harry retorted and Jack sighed.

"Well I don't either and I know when to tell somebody about something like this" Jack said, wincing a little at the parent's part.

"Look, I will tell him but just not now" Harry said and Star let go of his hand.

"Promise?" she questioned and Harry nodded.

"Promise" he said.

"Well, now I think we need some rest. We have a big day tomorrow, don't we?" Hermione said, trying to lighten them mood but it only helped a little. Jack then used his wand to move the chest of draws so they could go upstairs to bed. He let the others go back but he stopped Star going up. Making sure that everyone had gone, he looked at her.

"We need to tell Dumbledore about it" he said and Star shook her head.

"As much as I agree, we have no evidence. It's Harry's word against hers. Hell, everyone thinks he's lying about the Dark Lord! The Ministry will have enough to say if he starts accusing Umbridge" Star told him and Jack growled in frustration.

"Ugh you're right… but what can we do?" he asked and to his surprise, Star took hold of his shoulder.

"Listen Jack, I know things may seem really tense at the moment, with Umbridge, the Dark Lord and everything but you can't go jumping down people's throats. The Ministry aren't going to pay attention to some little punishment Jack, murders are what their focusing on. The Minister is refusing to believe that the Dark Lord is back and ever since, he has been covering up with lies. All we can do is wait until something happens. Then we can say something. Okay?" she said and Jack sighed.

He wanted to tell her about the shadows but she would tell him that it was his mind playing tricks on him. The only other thing he couldn't tell her was his secret but if he kept asking favours, she would figure it out soon.

"Okay, I guess you're right" Jack admitted and Star grinned.

"I know I am! Now come on, you need some rest. Don't want to let us down do you?" she asked eagerly and Jack rolled his eyes.

"Is that supposed to make me sleep easier?" he asked and Star shrugged.

"Beats me, I'm no good at comforting people. I'm better at insulting them" she said and the pair found themselves laughing as they made their way before saying goodnight and going into their dormitories. Tomorrow would indeed be an interesting day and one that may confirm more of Jack's suspicions.

Suspicions eh Jack? What would they be then? I know but you guys don't! Haha :D Thirteen reviews for more cupcakes and chapters and the Qudditch match isn't far behind! Bye for now!
