Hey Fatima,
Hows school going? I really miss it. This time last year I was with you. How fast the night changes (get it?). Anyway, preparations are almost done here, the rehearsal dinner is in a couple weeks and then we're set! Cant wait yo see you again. Mums been fussing all over me trying to get a word in with you. This weeks been pretty hectic for me. The minister is making me meet everyone, and hes even given me my own office. Just spending a day there got me exhausted. Lindsey says hi too.
P.S. Lindsey wants to know if your plus one is a guy or a girl.
Jasper.
I smiled to myself as I stuffed a pancake in my mouth. He seems to be doing great.
"Why're you smiling?" Fred asked.
"Jasper," I answered and the smile on his face disappeared. "Guys, which one of you wants to be my plus one? Lindsey wants to know."
"I'll go," fred answered immediately.
"Great! I'll let her know then," I said and stood up. "See you later."
"Bye," fred and George both said, fred glaring at george and him making kissy faces.
I grinned and shook my head.
I quickly went back upstairs and started writing.
Hey Jasp,
Schools going fine I guess, classes are just a bit harder. And yes, I understood your one direction joke ;) Congratulations again by the way, and let me know if there is anything I can do to help. Tell Lindsey I say hi, and that my plus ones a guy. You know jasp, my sleeping has actually been getting better. I slept properly after a year today. Tell your mum I say hi too and I cant wait to talk to her. Have fun at the rehearsal!
Y/n.

"Welcome back dear," Professor Umbridge said and stood in front of me. "Surprisingly, you haven't done anything to be here today. Nevertheless, you're very useful. Now, I need you to tell me about the secret group you are running."
I stared at her, confusion in my eyes. I wasnt even part of the DA. I was there to provide support to harry only.
"I'm not sure what you're talking about. Fred, george and I dont have a secret group," I answered.
"I'm not talking about them," she said. "The whole school is in some sort of club, and you are going to tell me about it."
She grabbed hold of my wrist tightly, and stood directly in front of me. She was quite shorter than me so not very intimidating.
"I'm not sure what you're talking about professor, and I have some stuff to do so I'm leaving," I said and picked up my shoulder bag.
But before I could leave I felt a piercing pain go through my whole body. I screamed and fell to the ground. It stopped suddenly and i looked back the her.
Her wand was in ther hand and she looked at me innocently.
"Where were we? Ah yes, the secret group," she said.
"I said I dont know wha-" I couldnt finish my sentence because the pain was back.
She was using the Crutiatios curse on me.
I screamed into the room and then it stopped.
"Alright, alright," I panted. She smiled bigger and looked expectantly at me. I stood back up with my bag and stared at her.
I spoke while heading towards the door, "The organization is about making fun of a woman who looks like a toad and always dresses in pink."
I ran out of her office as fast as I possibly could, my legs still in pain. I slumped down a wall when I was out of sight and just sat there.
I got up a while later and held onto the walls as I walked upstairs.
"Y/n?" I heard from behind me.
I couldnt turn around, but when I tried I fell.
"Y/n!"
Fred reached my side and held me up.
"Y/n, what happened? Are you alright? Was it Umbridge?"
"Yeah, no im alright, dont worry."
"Cut the crap, youre gonna fall if i wasnt holding you up."
I stared at him, wondering whether or not i should tell him.
"Umbridge used the Crutiatos curse on me. Now before you react, yes i know its illegal and yes i know it is punishable by death. I will be telling professor McGonagall, so i would like it if you let me tell her."
He stared at me, shellshocked. I didnt know what to do, but the pure worry in his eyes made me want to melt.
"Wh- how? Just now?"
A laugh bubbled in my throat. "Yes, just now."
"Are you okay? Do you need to go to Madame Pomfreys? Lets go tell McGon-,"
I kissed him. I dont know why i did that, but it just felt right to me. His arms tightened around my waist, crushing me against his chest as his lips moved with mine. My body fit his like a glove.
I pulled away to take a breath. He stared into my eyes and I looked back.
Before he could say anything, my eyes started to close involuntarily, and my body slumped in his arms.
"Y/n!"
My eyes closed and I fell limp in Fred's arms.
