34| Umbridge's detention

"I'm telling you, Rachel is the best character in Friends" Hermione told Diana. The pair was arguing over their favorite character before class started, seeing as Professor Umbridge wasn't in the classroom yet. "I say it's Joey" Diana argued. 

"He's great, yes. But I think Rachel is better" Hermione said. "So he's your second favorite?" Diana asked. "Third" Hermione corrected. Diana hit the desk slightly "are you kidding me?" she asked in disbelief. "Rachel, Chandler, Joey" Hermione said. "Joey, Rachel, Chandler" Diana corrected. 

"Ross is also hilarious" Ron said, butting into their conversation. "Stay out of this, Ronald" Hermione laughed. "What are they on about?" Harry asked in a whisper. "Arguing over which Friend is the best" Ron answered, Harry nodded and looked at the front of the class, watching the pink lady enter the room.

Suddenly the room fell silent and everything got boring and lifeless. 

'I really hope this teacher isn't evil or anything. I don't feel like theorizing over an evil professor while my mom is practically already dead... she isn't. But it sure feels like it' Diana thought.

Umbridge noticed Diana's lack of attention. She made sure both textbooks "accidentally" fell on Diana's hand. "What the fuck" Diana muttered a little too loud. "Language, Miss-" Umbridge said but paused seeing as she didn't know Diana's last name. "Bennett" Diana said. 

"Language, Miss Bennett. Would you like a detention?" Umbridge asked. "Why would she receive a detention when you were the one who purposely had both books fall on her hand" Hermione said, in an outrage. She was surprised at this sudden action.

"Would you like a detention as well, Miss-" Umbridge said, "Granger" Hermione said. "Granger, would you like to join Miss Bennett in detention?" she asked. 

"That's total nonsense. You have no reason to-" Ron said but was cut off my Umbridge. "Mr-" Umbridge paused, "Weasley" Ron muttered. "Mr Weasley, would you care to join these two in detention?" Umbridge asked. 

"Is detention really all you have up your sleeve?" Diana asked. "You'll see when you join me after class and find out what I have up my sleeve" Umbridge shot at Diana. The room fell silent. "Now, if you'll open the books. We can begin" Umbridge told the class. 

Hermione flipped through a few pages and then raised her hand. "Another outburst, Miss Granger?" Umbridge asked. Hermione shook her head and only then did Umbridge nod for Hermione to ask her question. "There's nothing in here about using defensive spells. When will we touch on that?" Hermione asked as calmly as she could.

Umbridge let out a short laugh that was then followed by a glare. "Using spells? I can't imagine why you would need to use spells in my classroom" Umbridge said, earning stares from Hermione and Diana. 

"We're not going to be using magic?" Ron asked. Diana didn't bother listening to Umbridge's so called reasoning. Diana got snapped out of though when Harry said, "Oh, I don't know. Maybe, Lord Voldemort". 

"You expect me to lie about Bonnie's death? I can't do that" Damon told Elena and Caroline. "We aren't telling you to lie, Damon. She listens to you the most. Please just tell her something to calm he down a bit" Caroline said. "She saw Bonnie in the hospital. Bonnie somehow communicated with her, I can't lie to that girl. She's practically my niece. I care for her too much to lie to her about something like this" Damon said. 

"Detention, Mr Potter!" were the words that snapped Diana out of her vision. "What the fu-" Diana was about to say but Hermione covered her mouth and shook her head.

"First week of school and we already landing a detention" Diana shook her head as they made their way to detention with Umbridge. "We're in this together?" Harry asked trying to lighten the mood. "If you say so" Diana mumbled. The two interlocked hands, not really thinking about it.
