Chapter Fifty-One - Interviews

Y/n's Pov

Apparently Umbridge is going around to interview the other professors. I don't know how well it is going to go down when she gets to Snape, but I'm sort of excited to see how it will go down. The back of my hand is still itchy from yesterday's detention. I haven't told anyone about what she did at the detention, so I'm wearing gloves so it isn't noticeable. I'm sure Draco has noticed, but I'm not sure if he has a clue on what's going on. He keeps trying to get me to admit what is wrong, but I think that's because of something else, not the detention. He won't stop pestering me with questions about how I'm doing and if I am mentally sane. I definitely am not right now.

"I'm fine Draco, honestly, you don't need to worry about me." I reply to his annoying questions.

"Of course you're not fine, you're not looking into my eyes! Just tell me what's going on!" I scoff and grab his cheeks, and look into his eyes.

"I. Am. Fine." I put emphasis and each word so he believes me more. I decide to shake his head back and forth so he will be irritated and leave me alone. He grabs my cheeks back with a mad expression and shakes my head.

"Stop. Shaking. My. Head." Draco mocks me. My plan is working I guess, he's frustrated at what I'm doing so he's forgotten about asking me if I'm ok. I let go of his face and he lets go of mine before he scoffs and turns back to eating his breakfast. I just smile at him before returning back to my breakfast.

It's transfiguration class with Gryffindor now, and all I can hear in the room is Umbridge's quill scratching across her parchment and a small "tut tut" she lets out every now and then. It's quite frustrating to listen to. Every time I hear her "tut tut" I just want to rip my ears off and let myself bleed out. Honestly, I think I'd rather listen to a troll try to tell a story than hear that same "tut tut" every hour. At this point I think a troll is more intelligent than she is. I look to another part of the classroom only to accidentally make eye contact with Emma, Norman and Ray. I look away as Emma raises her eyebrow in confusion and I quickly go back to my work. I hear someone over that way sigh, I swear if it's Umbridge, I'm going to shove my wand so far up her nose it reaches her brain.

Time Skip

Class just ended and I couldn't be more relieved, I was about to go to Quidditch practice when Emma grabbed my shoulder. Oh, great.

"What do you want Antenna Emma?" I groan out in frustration.

"I want to know the situation Ms. L/n." Emma says in a demanding tone. I look around, checking to see if anyone was there, only to see no one. I sigh as I pull Emma to a private place close to where the Slytherins are practicing but far enough that they can't see or hear us.

"Look, I can't say why, but I can't talk to you." I answer her. She looks at me confused.

"Does it have something to do with what we did or-" I interrupt her.

"No, nothing to do with anything you've guys done. Something else has been happening in my personal life I can't talk about." She looks like she's about to ask further questions before she stops herself and nods

"I understand. So what do you want me to do?" Her question takes me back a bit. I bite back a smile at how caring she is.

"I need you to make sure you and your family leave me alone. Not because I don't like you guys anymore, but because I need you guys to be safe, so I hope you can understand that." It's visible that she's contemplating agreeing with this.

"Look, I know it might take a long time but I'll try to find some way to talk to you guys again, I promise. For my sake, and for your family." Emma looks down and nods uneasily.
