"Have you no faith in us?"

════════════════════════════════

The start of a new school year and Y/n couldn't help but wake up early to practice her magic. Technically, her family wouldn't be able to teach her magic at all, the batboys had their own school to get to (Dick had a job and Jason went out again), Bruce had a company to run and Alfred, as amazing as a butler he is, could not teach Y/n anything about magic.

So, Y/n was trusted to learn magic on her own through loads and loads of books, occasionally owling letters and proof of learning to Dumbledore at least once a month, and having Cedric and his family available at any time through the fireplace.

Bruce had set up her own classroom/study room which he made sure to adjust to all her educational needs. A potions corner, a bookshelf filled with her magic books, a large table, comfortable chairs and sofas, and he offered to add anything else that she might need later in the year.

As she opened her first book, Y/n's mind drifted off to her friends. She wondered how they were. 'The Weasley Twins would be able to apparate by now, wouldn't they?' Y/n thought, taking down notes. 'I wonder who the new DADA teacher is.' 'They're all doing fine, right?'

30 minutes later and 3 chapters from 3 different books finished and practiced, Y/n found her school day to be finished earlier. Perhaps it was because there were no misbehaving students, ghosts walking through the walls to chat, teachers demonstrating. Y/n found herself missing that.

Looking at her hands as she relaxed into the sofa, she wondered about every little magical thing that was happening at Hogwarts at the current moment. Her fingers slightly glowed a (color) and Y/n's eyes widened.

'That's right,' Y/n thought to herself, 'I have my own magic to practice.'

And so, Y/n's lessons to herself on wandless magic and figuring out what else she could do was added to her school schedule.

Hogwarts was... different.

With Umbridge around, no student could possibly enjoy their day. The Weasley Twins were already scheming on what hell they could rain upon the unsuspecting professor.

Harry, Ron and Hermione were sitting together at the far end of the Gryfindor table. They had unconsciously left a spot for Y/n like she was going to show up at any moment as they talked to one another.

Those who looked carefully felt their hearts clench and the twins moved out of the Great Hall to get their minds off of the depressing thought.

Their current goal? Sneak into Dumbledore's office to see if there was anything that they could use. Sure, they couldn't get in all the time since the sweet-treat related passwords kept changing, but sometimes they would get lucky just shouting different treats that they knew.
