Severus was not happy. The whole reason he had became Headmaster was to keep that pink nightmare out of his school. Right now that bloody pink nightmare was walking through the school with a Ministry approved document stating that all students had to submit to a mandatory bloodline test. Including the teachers. Including him.

Sighing Severus pinched his nose trying to remain sane. He was going to have to drink the bloodline suppressant potion he had invented which would ensure his continuation as Headmaster. There was no way he was letting Umbridge have free reign in this school. Not like Dumbledore did.

To say Drae was furious would be an understatement.

No one could have prepared her for the vile bloody pink obsessed blood purist that now roamed the halls of Hogwarts. Her father had warned Drae about Umbridge. He and her mother had told her early on to warn her in case the Ministry decided to interfere at Hogwarts. She was currently in the Slytherin Common Room pacing furiously. Trying to find a way around the bloodline test for Ria. She knew if Umbridge found out about the Lionesses Lunar Elf blood there would be consequences.

Bad consequences.

She had sent off a letter to her parents about the newest development at the school. She knew her father had contacts in the Ministry as did her mother. If they couldn't find a way to help put a stop to the vile woman's agenda, they could at least help her gain more information about what exactly the woman and the Ministry were trying to accomplish.

It was a very big slight against the pureblood community to do a bloodline test and not inform the parents of the students. Mostly because it was hard to find a family that didn't have some form of creature blood nowadays.

Which reminded her, she also needed to find out if she had any creature inheritances that she needed to worry about trying to hide...

Drae barked a command to the Slytherins to make sure the younger years didn't go anywhere alone -her father's reputation was still intact with the Slytherin house- and stormed out of the Common Room.

She needed to get to the Library. Fast.

Adrian was nervously pacing the Hufflepuff Common Room. He had also heard about the Umbridge woman from his father. She was bad news all around and maybe it was Drae and Ria rubbing off on him but he could see there was a hidden side agenda with this woman being here.

Besides making the newer generations of wizards and witches hate the color pink...and toads of course.

The Ministry wouldn't just send her here with only the task of the test. They could have made that mandatory without her being here. No there was definitely something else going on in the shadows. Someone else was running this and Umbridge was a puppet again. A very good puppet but also a puppet who wouldn't hesitate to go off on her own if given the chance. After all she did the same thing when his father had been in his seventh year.

There had to be more to this mandatory bloodline creature inheritance test than she was letting on. For years the Ministry had been slowly making advances towards this type of prejudice. The only thing stopping them had been the outrage from the old families.

He stopped pacing for a moment suddenly worried.

Ria was half Lunar Elf...

He suddenly had a burning need to owl his father and find out if he had any inheritance he needed to worry about the pink nightmare of a woman finding out about.

Sending off a quick letter to his father, Adrian raced out of the Common Room and headed to where he knew he could get some answers. At least until his father owled him back. He had to do something with all this nervous energy anyway.

He wondered if he would find Drae in the Library...

Umbridge practically preened as she sat in front of the Headmaster, a sadistic gleam in her eyes, with the minister's newest law in his hands. She smiled sweetly at him and he didn't even look at her as he read the new law. He was one of her favorite teachers since he never liked half-bloods. Or Werewolves as seen with Lupin.

"And how do you suspect," drawled the Headmaster with a sneer. "That I will get this potion to all of the students?" He asked arching an eyebrow. "Along with all of the teachers?"

"I'm sure that you'll find a way," Umbridge said licking her lips as she stared at him.

Severus wasn't sure why she was staring at him like a particularly tasty treat, but he DID NOT LIKE IT ONE BIT.

"And who is going to be supplying the potion?" Severus asked her.

"The Ministry will take care of it," Umbridge said focusing on the Headmasters lips. "The minister is also requiring that Divination will be a core class."

"I thought you believed that class was useless," The Headmaster said pursing his kissable lips.

"It is, but the minister thinks it should be a core class." Umbridge said leaning closer.

The Headmaster stood up and seemed a little uncomfortable. Umbridge winked at him and the Headmaster stared at her.

"I believe that the minister has need of you," The Headmaster said. Umbridge stood up, with what she thought was grace.

"I will be back," she said then turned and walked out of the Headmaster's office.

When the door closed Severus shuttered and turned to head to the bathroom. He needed a bath. A very strong sanitizing potion wouldn't be amiss either.

Ria woke up and blinked slowly. She felt Nammi move and sat up.

'So you have woken up,' Nammi said curling up on Ria's knee. 'The ministry is being bad again. They want everyone to take a creature inheritance test.' Rai felt as if someone had dumped cold water down her back.

"No," Ria said horrified. The laws had become worse the last five years. It was difficult to get a job or to even walk around in Britain now. It wasn't so bad if you could hide your inheritance, but now that was being taken away. Things were about to get a lot worse. Especially if they found out about her Lunar Elf blood. The ministry hated Lunar Elves.

~Author's Note:

AnastasiaBradleyWhiteRanger offers her apologies about the inherent grossness regarding the whole Umbridge hitting on Snape scene. It started out as a thought in her head and quickly went on a downward spiral...

Lady of Many Masks has no such apologies and thinks that it is rather funny. She cackles evilly and plans on having more.

AnastasiaBradleyWhiteRanger once again apologises for the scene that has now become a full fledged background interaction between two characters...it was unintentional and entirely her fault for having placed the idea into Lady of Many Masks brain only to cause it to become a reality...a very uncomfortable reality.

Lady of Many Masks has no intention of having this pairing be two sided and is not endorsing this pairing in any way.

AnastasiaBradleyWhiteRanger further replies that she realises this but it is still uncomfortable...Why are we talking in Marauder language?

Lady of Many Masks confirms that this is fun and wishes to continue.

AnastasiaBradleyWhiteRanger should remind Lady of Many Masks that this is only an Author's note and should not take up the entire story...But further states that we can continue it in the next chapter as it is indeed fun however we will have more to rant about at the end of the future chapters.

Lady of Many Masks has no regrets.
