As I'm sitting in class watching Umbridge berate Harry about he-who-shall-not-be-named, I never thought I would be where I am right now. My brother was killed in the Triwizard tournament last year, Cedric was my best friend, my shoulder to cry on, and my rock. I've had Harry explain to me, a million times, what happened. It's the only way I can cope with what's happened, and I know it hurts him to relive it, but he knows it's helping me move on.

"Cedric Diggory's death was a tragic accident." Umbridge says

I've never seen red so fast in my life, I've never yelled at a Professor in my life, but she crossed the line talking about my brother. Before Harry can get a word out in Ced's defense, I stand up with fire in my eyes.

"An accident?!" I yell

"Miss Diggory-" Umbridge starts

"You call my brother's murder an accident?! How dare you stand there and call Harry a liar when you weren't there with him! My brother is dead! The only person, I knew I could trust with my well-being is gone forever, and you stand there and belittle his death with the fucking word ACCIDENT!" I scream in her face. My whole body shaking with anger.

"Miss Diggory, I would watch your tone" Umbridge says, keeping the sickly sweet tone of her voice as she tries to stay calm.

Harry steps up behind me, to try and calm me but the only person who can calm me now is Fred. Harry turns to Ron, "Go get your brother". Ron runs out of the room, grabbing Fred as quickly as possible.

"Love?" I hear Fred's voice but I'm too far gone at this point.

"Tell me professor, what kind of accident would have a student killed by the unforgivable killing curse?" I ask seething with anger

"Well, maybe he was somewhere he shouldn't have been" she says with an evilly sweet smile.

"Oh no" Fred and Harry say at the same time.

"Somewhere he shouldn't have been?! Maybe if you were able to keep the fucking death eaters in Azkaban, like you promised, my brother would still be alive! The only person somewhere they shouldn't be, is you, you slimey pink BITCH!"

*Slap*

Gasps are heard throughout the class, the loudest being from my boyfriend.

"Detention Miss Diggory" she yells after slapping me in the face.

Harry stands in front of me now while Fred pulls me back to him, "Baby, look at me", I look up into his eyes, tears welling up. He tilts my head to the side to look at my reddened cheek, and then I see the anger.

"Let's just go" I say quietly, grabbing my books and dragging Fred with me, looking back, I see him glaring at Umbridge, whom had a smirk on her face.

We step out into an empty corridor, and I let the tears fall.

"I should have done something, you don't deserve to be treated that way!" Fred started yelling, at no one in particular. "You've been through so much, and she has the nerve to say that to a student! I should get Professor McGonagall!" He starts to walk away

"Freddie-" I say with a lump in my throat, he turns to me and sees the tears flowing.

"Oh darling-" he says, sadness replacing the anger in his eyes, "come here" he wraps me in a hug, my head on his chest, as he kisses the top of my head.

"I'm sorry, I messed up. I blew up at a teacher, and I may have gotten you and Harry in trouble too. I'm a terrible person." I sob into his chest

"Sh sh, no Baby! You did the right thing, I would've done worse!" He chuckled, pulling me back and wiping my tears.

"I love you" I say with a small smile.

"I love you more, Angel"

After classes, I walk to Umbitches office for detention. I knock on the door, "come in" I hear her say. I open the door and see everything pink and frilly, with cat plates all over the walls. If I threw up pink, this is what it would look like, I  thought as I walked in.

"Ah Miss Diggory, have a seat" she says with a slight smile. "You will be writing a few sentences for me, for detention."

I dig through my bag looking for a quill, "You won't be needing that, I've got a special quill for you" she placed it next to me.

"What will I be writing?" I ask

"I must not yell or curse at teachers"

"How many times?"

"Let's just say, as long as it takes to sink in" she smiles

I begin writing, after three lines I feel a burning in my hand. "Ow!" I say quietly

"What was that dear?"

I watch the words show up on my hand and gasp in shock.

"Has it sunk in?" She asks

"Yes ma'am"

"You may go, detention is over"

I nod and get up to leave, holding my hand as I walk down the halls to the common room. Tears streaming down my face. When I walk in, Harry, Ron, Hermione, and the twins are waiting for me.

"Y/n" they all say when I walk in, Fred steps up, seeing the tears on my face, I run into his arms and sob. He looks at everyone else, worried and confused.

"Angel, what happened?"

I here Hermione gasp from behind Fred.

"Did she do that to you?!" She asks appalled

"Do what?" The boys ask

"Look at her hand!"

Fred grabs my hand, looks down and sees the words etched in my beautiful skin. I feel a tear fall onto my hand, when he goes down onto his knees and looks up at my tear stained face. He places kisses all over my hand before grabbing my cheeks, "You are perfect Baby, I'm so sorry she did this. I will get her back for hurting you" he says before pulling me down for a passionate kiss.

He gets up looks at George, and asks, "How do we get her back for this?"

Georgie smirks, "I've got some ideas! Let's get to work Freddie."

A/n: Might do a part 2!
