CHAPTER 47-Inquisitorial Squad

(Ophelia's POV)
New decrees were being added every day.

'All student organizations are henceforth disbanded'

'All Weasley & Weasley products will be banned immediately'

'Those Wishing To Join The Inquisitorial Squad For Extra Credit May Sign Up In The High Inquisitor's Office'

'Any student found with the magazine 'The Quibbler' will be expelled'

"All students will submit to questioning about suspected illicit activities"

"It's stupid" I sigh

"It's bullshit" Pansy complains

"Dunno why we need to be questioned. The only 'organization' were in is Quidditch" Blaise adds as we walk to the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, where Umbridge was holding the questioning.

"Who goes first?" I sigh as we walk into the classroom

"Not it!" Blaise exclaims

"Not it!" Pansy and Draco say in unison

"I hate you all" I glare at them as I walk up the stairs to her office and knock on the door

"Come in," a shrill voice says from inside, I open the door. The whole room was nauseatingly pink. I couldn't believe this was the same room Professor Lupin taught Potter and I how to conjure a Patronus two years ago.

"Ah, Ms.Mendoza nice to see you. Could you bring Mr.Malfoy, Ms.Parkinson, and Mr.Zabini in with you please?" Umbridge asks

I beckon the three to come in silently. They all stand there, laughing and shaking they're heads no, as if I was joking

"Get in here" I mouth

Quickly they realized I was not joking and climbed up the stairs too

"Hello" Umbridge grins

"Hi?" Draco says in a questioning tone as he looks around the room, clearly looking disgusted by the amount of pink

"Do come in" Umbridge says before taking a sip of her tea. Quickly we stand in front of her desk

"I'd like you four to become...leaders...you'd say, of the Inquisitorial Squad" Umbridge stands, showing us the four medals that say 'Ministry for Magic'. We all stay quiet glancing at each other for an answer

"Thank you, Professor, but I have to decline" I finally speak up

"You don't want to lose that Prefect title of yours, now do you?" Umbridge asks pointing at my badge

I look down at my badge then at my friends. "No ma'am" I sigh

"Perfect. There have been rumors that there is a secret club in Hogwarts, do any of you know anything?" she asks we all shake our heads no.

"Oh...that secret club," I think

"Now, your jobs are to catch anyone and everyone in this supposed club" she explains

"Sounds fun" Blaise sarcastically says

She giggles and starts to put the Inquisitorial Squad medal on our robes, starting with Pansy, then me, putting it next the badge that says 'Prefect', then Draco, and Blaise

"You are required to wear these on your robes at all times" she adds as she finishes putting the medal on Blaise

"That was all" she smiles

Quickly we walk out of her office. All four of us immediately taking the badge off and stuffing it in our pockets.

The Inquisitorial Squad was made up of only Slytherins. Umbridge being the High Inquisitor, Draco, Blaise, Pansy, and I being the leaders...or whatever she said, Milicent Bulstrode, Graham Montague, Cassius Warrington, and Filch.
