🦋 UMBRIDGE AND TRYOUTS 🦋


Today we are going back to hogwarts. I can't wait to see Draco again. I am super excited. We all packed our stuff and made it too king cross station 9¾. We bid farewell to mr.& mrs.weasley.

We make our way to compartment.We talked for few more hours as I was getting tired and just like always Harry adjust himself to make place for me to sleep. And with that I put my head into his lap while he was playing with my hair. I fall asleep.

Few hours later, Harry woke me up.Me and Hermione went to bathroom for change into robes and come back to our compartment. Soon the train stopped ,signalling us that we arrived.The train arrives at Hogwarts, and the students shuffle out. Me, harry , Hermione and Ron expects to see Hagrid directing the first-years but instead sees Professor Grubbly-Plank.

We all went to find an empty horseless carriage and sat on that.on the way to castle, we all didn't talked that  much. We finally arrived the hogwarts castle. And walked to oak door.

We all made our way to the great hall.We take place to the middle of Gryffindor table and sat there. I was sitting with Hermione beside me was sitting Neville, in our opposite direction was sitting Harry and Ron.

"Now I can get a better view of Slytherin".I thought to myself. I was talking to Neville, Suddenly Hermione tap me in my shoulder. I turned around to face her.

"Why Malfoy is staring at you". She whispered slowly in my ears. I gave her confused look. But she slowly indicates the direction where Draco was sitting in Slytherin table.

When I saw the direction she was indicating. When my eyes met his grey/blue eyes, we make eye contact and he winked at me. okay. He was definitely staring.

He mouthed "Meet me after dinner" and I nodded my head to him. With this he turned to face Zabini and his minions and starts talking to them.

As the first-years arrive, the Sorting Hat, which is responsible for sorting all first-years into one of four houses, bursts into song, warning the students against becoming too internally divisive. Nearly Headless Nick, resident ghost, explains that the Hat gives warnings only when it feels Hogwarts is in danger.

After supper, Dumbledore announces that Professor Grubbly-Plank will be teaching Hagrid’s class, Care of Magical Creatures, and that Professor Umbridge, the toadlike woman  is the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher.

Professor Umbridge interrupts Dumbledore to deliver a long, boring speech of introduction, and me and Harry confirms our dislike for her. I saw only few students actually listen to the speech, but Hermione infers that the Ministry will be interfering in Hogwarts business this year. As Me, Hermione and Ron walks back to the dorms.

When all the girls fall asleep. I quickly made my way out of common and head towards the Astronomy tower. When I reached there, I saw a figure standing there. I silent tip-toed and hugged him from behind. He suddenly tensed between the hug. But when he touched my hands and realised its was me.he become relaxed.

"I missed you much". I said to me.

"Awww, but not more than me, Love". He said turning around to face me. With that I kissed him hard.We talked there about all our summer, how I hate the new professor Umbitch.

Later, as usual he walked to my common room, holding my hands. And gave me a goodnight kiss in my forehead and lips with that he left. DAMN HOW LUCKY I AM. I thought to myself to made my way to my dorm. I quickly fall asleep when I hit my bed.

NOW WHAT THIS YEAR BRINGS.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Meanwhile, the wizard newspaper, the Daily Prophet, continues printing untrue and unfair stories about Harry.

Many of the classmates are whispering about him behind his back, but Harry ignores them and tries to concentrate on his studies, since all fifth-year students at Hogwarts are required to take O.W.L.s, or Ordinary Wizarding Level examinations.

All fifth-years at Hogwarts must take O.W.L.s, or Ordinary Wizard Level exams. The faculty piles on homework in preparation. Me, Ron, Harry, and Hermione report to their first session of Professor Umbridge’s Defense Against the Dark Arts class.

Professor Umbridge has written her course aims on the blackboard, and Hermione points out that she’s listed nothing about using the defensive spells, only studying them.

Me, Harry, Ron, and Hermione leave dinner early to escape whispering students. In the Gryffindor common room, I catch Fred and George testing their joke products on first-years.

Soon after few days later, Gryffindor Quidditch captain Angelina Johnson reprimands Harry for having to miss Keeper tryouts because of his detention. After dinner, Harry reports to Umbridge’s office. One night when I headed towards Astronomy tower to meet Draco, on my way Harry runs into me.

I see the back of his hands which he was hiding from me and I asked him about it. But he didn't tell me after lot of convincing finally he told me the truth about detention. I suggest him to tell Dumbledore about it, but he refused.

Before he left, he told me not to tell harry and Hermione about it.As Ron who practicing for his keep tryout, harry didn't want him to get worried about him.  After protesting and aruging, I nodded my head.

He didn't asked me where I was going because he know I always explore castle after dinner sometime, without getting caught. It's become my habit since first years. You can calll me crazy but I love to explore Hogwarts castle at night. With that I walked to meet Draco.

At his final detention on Friday, Harry strains to watch Ron’s Keeper tryout from the window. When Harry returns to the dorm,from detection  he learns that Ron made the Gryffindor Quidditch team.

Harry tells Ron and Hermione about detention and the pain in his scar. Like Me , they also suggests he consult Dumbledore. Harry refuses but mentions that he may ask Sirius for help.
