|| I'm Sorry, Lorelie ||

Winter break was over. The Hogwarts students were entering the castle, some were in pairs, others were in groups. Cho and Harry walked hand in hand, laughing and telling each other about their holiday.

Not far from them, Fred and Lorelie walked side by side. The slytherin girl seemed happy and was enjoying her time, she had completely forgotten about the scar headed boy.

Suddenly, Hermione and Ron came rushing to Harry. Waving their hands to Lorelie along the way.

"Harry! Hagrid's back" Hermione said.

Harry nodded and told Cho to go on without him, he and the two other gryfinddors hurried down the hill, and stood in front of the hut. A lady voice was heard, the three peeked from the window.

"I told you, I was away for me health!" Hagrid explained.

"Your health?" the lady dressed in pink from head to toe asked, it was none other than Dolores Umbridge.

"Bloody hell, it's that smelly old pink toad" Ron rolled his eyes before getting pulled by Hermione.

"Shh!" Hermione glared.

"Keep quiet or else we're gonna get caught!" she warned him.

"If I were you, I shouldn't get used to being back. In fact, I might not even bother unpacking at all" Umbridge smirked.

After she finished her sentence, the so called professor exits the little hut. She took a deep breath, but the scrunched her face in disgust. She took out her perfume bottle, and sprayed it on to the door and to herself.

Once the pink lady had walked away, Harry, Ron, and Hermione knocked on Hagrid's hut and sat inside. He offered them some tea, Hagrid was looking rather rough, his hair was out of place, and his face was dirty.

"Dumbledore sent me to party with the giants" the gamekeeper started off.

"Giants?!" Hermione exclaimed before getting shushed by the big man.

"You found one?" she asked unbelievably.

"Well they're not that hard to find, to be perfectly honest. They're so big, see" Hagrid answers.

"I tried to convince them, to join the cause. But I wasn't the only one trying to win them over"

"Deatheaters" Ron breathed out.

"Yes, trying to persuade them into joining you-know-who" Hagrid nods.

"Well...did they?" Harry asked.

"I gave them Dumbledore's message, suppose some of them remembers he was friendly to them, I suppose" he explained.

Light thunder was heard, it was about to rain, or even worse, a storm. The wind outside was blowing stronger by the minute. The four made their way to the window, Hagrid looked outside to see the sky getting darker.

"It's changing out there, just like last time. There's a storm coming, Harry" he warned.

"We'd all best be ready when she does"
