Chapter 8 : High Inquisitor

Hi ! I'm sorry for not updating in so long, I've been struggling with school and my mental health and I wasn't motivated to write at all szhjrckv. But I've got so many ideas for the rest of fifth year that I'm so excited to write ! Enjoy the chapter <3

A week had passed since the last order meeting. Charlotte hadn't heard the voices in about a week too, which didn't bother her that much to be honest. She felt normal. She'd spend most of her days roaming in the castle, watching classes or practicing her spells in the Room of Requirement.

That morning she was heading to the Dining Hall when she finally heard a voice ; Dolores Umbridge, high inquisitor...

"What the hell is a high inquisitor ?" she wondered but was cut out of her thoughts by a girl with black hair running around the corridors, "Hey, are you looking for something ?" the girl turned around, a Slytherin, she looked at Charlotte up and down and turned away, muttering something that sounded like she was looking more for someone else. "Rude." Charlotte thought out loud.

She continued walking when she noticed a platinum haired boy perking his head out of a classroom, looking around. It was Malfoy. The boy noticed her and quickly got out of the classroom, a sheepish look on his face. Charlotte glanced at the boy, then where the Slytherin girl once was, and understood ;

"Yeah you're good. She went the other way." she informed the boy, mid-laughing. He just looked at her, muttered a 'thank you' and went away.

Once she was finally at the Dining Hall, she sat next to Harry, Hermione and Ron facing her.

"So what's up in the Wizarding world ?" she asked the bushy haired girl who was reading the Daily Prophet. They all looked at each other with shocked faces as Hermione muttered a cuss word under her breath. She quickly placed the newspaper so that the four of them could read it. (I didn't copy past the article because it is way too long and kind off unnecessary)

"So what does that mean exactly ? Umbridge being the High Inquisitor," Ron asked, furrowing his eyebrows at the newspaper.

"It means that she has power over the school," Hermione answered slowly, looking up from the newspaper, "and she has the power to inspect the other teachers !" she finished, her breathing going faster. "I can't believe it ! It's scandalous !"

"I know" Harry whispered. Charlotte noticed him clutching the borders of the table so hard his knuckles were as white as his scar. She gently grabbed them and started to rub circles were his scar was to calm him down, it worked.

They noticed how Ron was smiling ; "What's going on ?" Harry and Hermione asked at the same time.

"I can't wait to see her inspect Mcgonnagal, Umbridge won't see it coming !" he smiled.

"No, no you have a point," Charlotte realized and smiled brightly at the boy "I'm going to follow her at every inspection. Oh imagine with Severus- Snape ?!" They both continued to talk about the inspections until Hermione cut them off ;

"Come on, we better get going, if she inspects Binns, we better not be late." she advised. They all went to class, waving goodbye at Charlotte.

She spent the rest of the morning trying to find frog face, she even asked the voices who of course didn't answer, but didn't find her. Defeated, she went to eat lunch. When she found them, Fred, George and Lee were sitting with them.

"What are you guys talking about ?" she asked, sitting down next to Lee.

"Hi, we're talking about the grading system" Hermione answered and Charlotte noted how Ron looked annoyed.
