The Boy Who Fought: OC X Hermione

Sacked

Hermione and Carson we're walking down the corridor near the courtyard when there was a shriek. They both turned to each other and ran to the courtyard. When they arrived, they squeezed through a few people to see Professor Trewlaney with her bags sitting outside.

"You cannot sack me!"

"I can do whatever I wish!"

"This is my home!"

Umbridge smiled evilly, before speaking again, "Not anymore."

She pointed her finger to the exit of the castle and told Professor Trewlaney, "Now remove yourself from this castle!"

"You can't! You have no reason to sack her!" Carson shouted out, Umbridge turning to face him.

"Mr. Marshall if you know what's good for you, you will stay out of this!" She shrieked, and Carson went to retort before Dumbledore arrived.

"She will not be leaving."

"I have the authority headmaster!"

"Oh, I agree with you, Professor Umbridge. You do have the power to dismiss my teachers, however, you cannot send them from this castle. That power is still with the headmaster. Trewlaney will remain here."

"And what of her quarters when I appoint a new teacher?"

"Happily, that will not be needed. I have found a successor for good Professor Trewlaney. As you know... the ministry can only appoint new teachers if I do not find a new one. I think you will find him suitable enough."

Soon, a skinny centaur approached the castle and Dumbledore turned to Umbridge.

"This is Firenze."

Later that day, all four friends were in the library. They were talking about recent events and Hermione was reading her copy of the daily prophet.

"So you're saying that the weapon you-know-who is after is in the department of mysteries?"

"It's got to be."

"That's got to be what Sturgis Podmore was doing in the ministry the night he got arrested."

"You're probably right Carson. Mr. Weasley was probably there when he was attacked too. That must be what the order is guarding!"

"But why the department of mysteries?"

"It makes perfect sense Ronald, it's got to be something the ministry's been developing. Something top secret."

"Look at this. There's been a mass breakout in Azkaban."

"They're all death eaters!"

"Yeah."

"Voldemort. And they're still calling Harry a liar." Carson seethed.

"Well, have fun on your hogsmeade date with Cho Harry. Carson and I are going together. Are you going with anyone Ron?"

"Lavender."

"Ooh. That's fun. Have fun with Lavender." Carson told him, as Ron went red.

The four went their separate ways, Carson and Hermione going back to their dorm to collect their coats to keep them warm. They all met back up in the courtyard before leaving.

"Have fun on your date Harry. Go to the three broomsticks after, I need you to do something."

"Alright. Have fun you two lovebirds."

With that, all four got on separate carts and made their way to Hogsmeade.
