'Till The End Darling

62. Inquisitorial squad.

"All students wishing to join the inquisitorial squad, please meet me in my office, promptly, this afternoon... For your introduction." Umbridge announced via the school speakers.

"Whats an inquisitorial squad?" Asked Ginny.

"I 'dunno." Said Y/n "can't be anything good though." She nodded towards Malfoy and his goons, who were grinning wildly at one another "anything that them lot are that chuffed about, is absolutely going to be a problem for us."

"Damn right." Nodded Ron.

"I don't get it." Hermione shook her head "I mean don't get me wrong I know Malfoy is terrible, but surely he must hate her aswell. She's just so irritating."

"I suppose they bond over common interests though don't they." Said Fred.

"You took the words out of my mouth Fred." Agreed George.

"Meaning?" Asked Hermione.

"They're both a pair of muggle hating, half breed slating..." George began.

"Filthy rich clasist, stuck up horrid.." Fred continued.

"Assholes." Finished Ginny "They're both assholes."

"Hmm." Hermione nodded her head "I think sometimes I forget just how horrid she is, you know what with her being a teacher and all."

"You lot better watch your backs. It's not just Umbridge that knows your up to something. But the Ministry do too, my father told me." Sneered Draco "I wouldn't be surprised if you all end up joining Potter in azkaban, for conspiracy and treason."

"What century are you living in Draco?" Asked Y/n "treason? Like what do you think we're going to do. Assassinate Fudge before herbology class?"

"Shh Y/n." George tapped her arm "your not supposed to tell him."

She put her hand over her mouth jokingly "oh shit sorry. Its allright." She whispered "we can move the assassination down an hour or two. Everyone clear your schedules."

"Shut up you fucking peice of mudblood trash." Draco practically screamed. He'd never been good at hiding when Y/n got under his skin "i don't know who you think you are but it'd do you good to shut your ugly fucking gob once in a while."

"Oooh" laughed Crabbe and Goyle.

Y/n was going to retaliate. Of course she was. I mean it's Y/n when has she ever not jumped at the opportunity to argue with Malfoy. But before she got the chance she noticed his eyes grow wide and him starting to slowly step away. Y/n turnt to see Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Neville and the twins all stood calmly with their arms raised and wands in hands. The tip of each wand pointed directly at the ignorant blonde.
Y/n couldn't help but giggle as Draco backed off ,and then ran out of the corridor, followed closely by Crabbe and Goyle. Off to go visit Umbridge no doubt she thought to her self with a sour eye roll.

For reasons unbeknownst to her, she found herself wondering whether Theo would be joining the Inquisitorial squad. Not that it mattered either way, but if he did join...then it was just confirmation that they really were fighting against eachother. Opposite sides in the war.
And Y/n struggled to wrap her head around that thought. How could they be opposites when in truth they were so similar.

Theo stood away from the crowd, leant against one of the cobblestone walls. He acknowledged the announcement Umbridge gave, and watched as his friends...Well no not friends. Acquaintances...school mates? People he had to see daily seemed the best way of putting it. Anyway, he watched as Draco and the two bafoons taunted Y/n and her lot of friends.
It bothered him, that much was undeniable, but he felt that he had no place to defend her.
