Chapter 23

♖♖♖

Y/N had barely reached the door towards Professor McGonagall's office when she came marching along the hallway behind her. The Ravenclaw would be lying if she said she wasn't scared, her heart practically dropped when she caught Professor McGonagall's expression.

She stormed towards her looking very livid. She swung the door open and glared at the Ravenclaw with eyes scarier than Voldemort's, "In!"

Y/N didn't need to be told twice as she quickly shuffled into the room, though despite feeling nervous, she still stood by every punch she had given Malfoy.

Professor McGonagall slammed the door shut and strode towards her behind her desk and faced her, quivering with rage, "Well?" she said, "I have never seen such disgraceful exhibition. Explain yourself!"

"Malfoy provoked me." Y/N said stiffly but somewhat confidently, "He deserved it anyway—"

"Deserved it?!" Professor McGonagall shouted as she slammed her fist onto her desk, a tartan tin slid sideways and off the desk, bursting open and littering the floor with Ginger Newts. "He'd just lost, hadn't he? Of course he wanted to provoke you! But what on earth he can have said that justified what you—"

"He insulted my parents." Y/N snarled, her jaw clenching tightly as Malfoy's words rang once more around her ears. "And said the only family I had was Volde—"

"Why didn't you leave it to Madam Hooch to sort it out?" Professor McGonagall interjected sternly, "You decided to give an exhibition of Muggle duelling, did you?! Have you ny idea what you've—"

"Hem, hem."

Y/N spun around. Umbridge was standing in the doorway smiling with her green tweed cloak, the first ever time the Ravenclaw had seen her in any other color than pink.

"May I help. Professor McGonagall?" Umbridge asked in her poisonously sweet voice which Y/N rolled her eyes discreetly at.

"Help?" Professor McGonagall repeated, in a constricted voice, "That's very kind of you, Dolores, but I don't need help with disciplining students the right way."

She turned her back on Umbridge, facing the Ravenclaw once more. "Now, Y/L/N, you had better listen closely. I do not care what provocation Malfoy offered you, I do not care if he insulted every ounce of blood in your body, your behaviour was disgusting and I am giving you a week's worth of detentions—!"

"Hem, hem."

Professor McGonagall closed her eyes as if praying for patience as she turned her face towards Umbridge again, "Yes?"

"I think she deserves more than just detentions," Umrbidge said with her smile broadening widely.

Both Y/N and Professor McGonagall's eyes flew open, the Ravenclaw wished she could've gave Umbridge the same treatment that Malfoy received, that urge was blooming higher than ever.
