It was the day of tryouts for keeper. We had just gotten done with it and angelina gave ron the position. He and his brothers were ecstatic. Ron wasn't the greatest, but with a bit of training, ron could be good.

While everyone was celebrating, I was sitting in a corner with hermione. She had fallen asleep, leaving me to read a book.

"Harry, I did it! I'm in, I'm keeper!"

I looked up to see ron almost attacking harry, who had just entered gryffindor tower.

"What?" Harry said. "Oh - brilliant!"

I chuckled softly to myself and continued to read.

"Hey, y/n." Harry came over, and gently woke up hermione.

I smiled. "Hi, harry. How was detention with umbridge?"

Hermione jerked awake. "Oh, harry, it's you... good about ron, isn't it? I'm just so - so - so tired." She yawned. "I was up until one o'clock making more hats. They're disappearing like mad!"

I gave harry an exasperated look. I still couldn't believe she was going on about all of that. It's been a year, and last night, I kept trying to convince her that the house elves didn't want to be freed.

"Great." Harry tried not to laugh at the look on my face. "Listen, y/n, hermione, I was just up in umbridge's office and she touched my arm..."

I closed my book, and sat up straighter in my chair. I listened closely as he told us all about how he was thinking the dark lord was controlling umbridge.

My eyebrows furrowed in confusion when he was done. "You're worried the dark lord's controlling her like he controlled quirrell?"

"Well," Harry dropped his voice. "it's a possibility, isn't it?"

"I suppose so." Hermione sounded unconvinced. "But I don't think he can be possessing her the way he possessed quirrell, I mean, he's properly alive again now, isn't he? He's got his own body, he wouldn't need to share someone else's. He could have her under the imperius curse, I suppose..."

I tried to keep my face expressionless as they talked about the dark lord. I couldn't understand why the dark lord would want to possess a frilly pink toad.

"But last year your scar hurt when nobody was touching you, and didn't dumbledore say it had to do with what you-know-who was feeling at the time?" Hermione continued. "I mean, maybe this hasn't got anything to do with umbridge at all, maybe it's just a coincidence it happened while you were with her?"

"She's evil." Harry said, flatly. "Twisted."

"She is horrible." I agreed.

"But, harry, I think you ought to tell dumbledore your scar hurt." Hermione advised.

Harry shook his head. "I'm not bothering him with this. Like you said, it's not a big deal. It's been hurting on and off all summer - it was just a bit worse tonight, that's all-"
