Chapter 56

A/N: I can't believe I forgot to mention this but Violet's outburst was inspired by gingerwheezy
Grace's pov

"Freddie! Can I come in?" I asked through his dorm room door. The door swings open and George is leaning against the door frame. "Hey, Georgie!" I greet before walking in. "Fred's in the shower he should be out soon." George explained. I nodded and sat on his bed. George left the room and I was left waiting in Fred's room. I was walking around the room when he walked out. "Hey, Beautiful!" He cheered, leaning down behind me to kiss my cheek. I smiled faintly before turning around. "Er, Freddie." I mutter while he dries his hair. "Yes, love?" He asked looking down at me.

"I-I have detention tonight." I fumble with my hands. "Okay, well are you nervous or," He trailed off. "No, no. Just I worry that she'll say something and I won't be able to control my powers." I explained with a sigh. He takes my hands and makes me look at him. "You are in control, love. Don't worry. And besides you'll have Harry." He added. I nodded and hugged him around his waist. "You're great, Freddie." I whisper, kissing his cheek. He kissed my cheek and walked me down to the common room. He left to go prank with George and I waited for six.

It was ten minutes until six and Harry walked up to me, reaching his hand out. "Ugh, let's get this over with Scar head." I muttered, he shoved me back down on the couch by my head. "HARRY!" I shouted, chasing him out of the common room. "Twat." I mumbled under my breath. He wrapped his arm around my shoulder and pulled me close to him. "Try not to act like mom tonight." He teased, I rolled my eyes as we walked to her office.

Harry knocked on the door, I gripped his hand in mine. He kissed my temple before we heard her mutter a soft 'come in'. I took a deep breath and walked in with Harry. "Good evening children." She smiled, Harry and I nodded. "Ahem, go ahead and take your seats. You are going to be doing lines for me today." She announced, Harry and I reached into our bag. "No, you don't need your quills. You are going to be using a rather special quill of mine." She laughed slightly before walking to her desk to grab the quills.

"Harry you are going to write 'I must not tell lies'. Grace you are going to write 'I must not talk back'." She smiled at us, I rolled my eyes and grabbed the parchment. "Professor, you haven't given us ink." Harry pointed out, she laughed again. "You won't need ink. As I said they are rather special quills." She smiled and sat down in front of us. "How many times?" I asked, finally speaking. "Let's say for however long the message takes to sink in." She smiled before sipping on her tea. I looked at Harry before grabbing the quill to write.

As I wrote 'I must not talk back' I noticed the ink was red. About two lines in my hand started to burn, I shook it before continuing to write. The pain was becoming unbearable, I looked over at my hand and noticed the words 'I must not talk back' form on the top of my hand. I held back tears from falling and bit my lip. Harry winced and Umbitch smiled. Harry looked over to me and back at the professor. "Is something wrong, dear?" She faked sympathy. Harry and I didn't answer.

"That's right, because you both understand. That you deserve to be punished. Especially you Miss Black. Daughter of a former death eater, your half blood mother, and her abomination of a brother, not to mention you shouldn't even be alive. You deserve the most punishment. Mister Potter you are free to go. Miss Black continues." She sneered. I blinked the tears back and picked up the quill, Harry sat down and continued to write with me.

"Enough! Both of you leave!" She shouted. We walked out of her office, I fell to the ground clutching my hand. Yes the pain was bad, but that's not what hurt me. What hurt me is the way she spoke of my family, and I didn't argue back. Harry picked me up, I wrapped my legs around his waist and my arms around his neck. Draco ran over to us and took me from Harry's hands. "It's alright, Grace. I got you." Draco whispered, stroking my hair.
