The Werewolf and The Monster

Chapter 37 - Umbridge

The ball was in two days time, And Pandora was stuck in a pointless meeting with none other then Dumbledore and Delores Umbridge. Why? She doesn't know.

"Ahem. We are here to discuss your latest stunt against your own kind." She said, Her voice causing Pandora to tense up and claw at her desk, trying to make the sound of her squeaky voice sound less like nails on a black board, and more like a normal voice.

"What?" Albus asked dumbfounded.

"If I have been informed correctly, You took away a Grim-Reapers human form."

"And you are correct, as punishment for hurting me and putting the safety of the school in risk, Is there seriously a point in this meeting? I have more important things to tend to then kiss your sorry ass about something that is Grim-Reaper business only and that you have no right to put your froggy looking nose in." She growled lowly, already bothered about this pink woman in her office. "Your clothes are also disgusting. You look like a peeled prawn and it's seriously bothering me. Please leave." 

"Well thats uncalled for." The frog in pink said lowly, raising an eyebrow at the girl infront of her. 

Pandora sighed and put her head in her hands, avoiding lashing out. "Albus.. As lead Grim-Reaper I'm supposed to set an example for the others and not act out of line, aka. Murder without reason." She looked up at him, crossing her arms on her desk. "And if I fucking maul her my excuse would be 'She annoyed me' and it simply wouldn't be good enough by my own standards. Please make her leave."

Umbridge huffed. "This is official ministry business! How dare you speak about me like that! Disrespect me and your disrespecting the ministry."

Pandora glared at her through her hair. "I'm not disrespecting the Ministry, I'm disrespecting you because you had the audacity to walk into MY office and question MY actions against my own kind, as the Lead Grim-Reaper I have the fucking right to do whatever the fuck I want to the other reapers." Pandora finally raised her voice and rose from her seat."I could've done SOO much more to him, I had every right to kill every form of his as punishment for putting the school in danger and challenging ME for MY territory!"

Albus rose to his feet and gently took her hand. "No Pandora, calm down okay? Delores please leave my school before you make her think of you as a threat."

"I ought to send dementors after you!"

"As far as I'm aware, without Fudges approval that's illegal by the Ministry's accord. Leave my office. Leave my school. Leave my territory. Get. The. Fuck. Out." Pandora snarled, Her non-damaged eye beginning to glow red from the anger flowing through her. Delores huffed and stomped to the fireplace, taking a handful of Floopowder and glaring down Pandora.

"This isn't over."

"Oh it fucking well is you overgrown fucking child. Leave." Pandora sneered out as Delores left through the floo network. Pandora punched her desk and snarled, which sounded more like an aggravated tigers snarl.

"I need some time alone Albus. To calm down." Albus nodded and gave a warm smile, exiting her office as Pandora slumped back into her chair. Putting her head in her hands.

"What's gotten you so frustrated?" A familiar gravelly voice echoed out. Pandora looked up and examined the paintings in the dark office, before meeting the piercing stare of her old creator.

"That woman got under my skin, I don't know why. Alot of creatures question my actions against my own kind, I just don't know why her saying it affected me so much." She explained. Death let out a laugh, switching paintings to the smaller frame on her desk.

"That my dear, is because you've grown soft to this place. You were defending it and that woman questioned the actions you took while defending the place you call home in front of the people who also reside here." He explained, His torn and burnt robes billowing in the unseen air of the painting."You did what was right, what Grim-Reapers would've counted as right. She just didn't see it as right. I wouldn't fret much about it my dear."

"I can't love though Death. How can I love something when I can't feel what love feels like?" Pandora questioned.

"Thats where you are wrong, I didn't give you the capability to fall in love with other creatures. But you can love the place you call home. That's what so beautiful yet tricky about love. It comes in so many different forms. I didn't allow any of you to fall in love with a living creature, you'll be absolutely distraught. You live until you are murdered off, They would die from natural selection."

"I hate how cruel that sounds yet it makes so much sense." Pandora deadpanned while staring at him, Death let out a laughter that filled the room.

They said their goodbyes to one another before Pandora disembarked to take a walk around the school, hands pocketed.

She spots Draco not to far from her, So she bee-lines for him, flicking the back of his head. "Draco Draco Draco, what are you doing?" She purred out, leaning on the wall next to her, The platinum haired boy flinched in surprise and turned to her.

"Nothing! Nothing at all!" Pandora hummed and stared at him quietly for a moment before speaking up.

"Okay... Do me a favour when you next write to your father, tell him to inform the ministry to never send Delores Umbridge to my office again otherwise I'll use her body as decorations in Fudges office." Draco eyes widened and he nodded.

"What did she say that angered you that much?" Blaise asked, surprised by her request.

"She questioned my choices about how I punished the Grim-Reaper that challenged me. Anyways, You found a date to Deaths Ball?" She tilted her head to the side slightly, genuinely curious.

"Oh uhm, Yeah, I asked Pansy, I hope that's okay." He rubbed the back of his neck.

"Of course that's okay, Just know if she gets on my nerves I'll will 100% be publicly humiliating Pugsy." She grinned widely, showing her fangs off unintentionally.

"Oh I intend to, she's been rather clingy to me recently." Draco explained.

Pandora nodded and looked up. "between us three, I think Pugsy has a crush on you, I've seen how she's been acting recently, clingy, always hanging off your arm whenever she can, glaring at any girl who even looks your way. She cornered a Hufflepuff a month ago and threatened her to stay away from you." Pandora tutted as she remembered."That was fun to deal with ya know, turns out she's absolutely terrified of heights and cockroaches."

"Im afraid to ask what you did to her." Blaise chuckled, a grin breaking out.

"I didn't physically harm her!" Pandora explained, holding her hands up. "I can't confirm for any mental trauma I might've given her. Hanging her over the edge of the astronomy tower was a laugh, but forcefeeding her cockroaches was a hassle. They just wouldn't stay in her mouth and she wouldn't bite down, In the end I slammed her bottom jaw into her top jaw."

Draco's mouth dropped open. "You're so cruel."

"I'm a Grim-Reaper."
