I (Don't) Want To Forget | M.R. (ENG)

CHAPTER 3

Most of the students from the so-called 'Malfoy Gang' were in the Slytherin common room. Students spent a long time doing their homework and studying for tests, and then fell asleep where they sat. Outside, the storm was raging, the wind was blowing loud, it was pouring rain, and later the loud sounds of thunderbolts began to sound. One of them scared the dozing teenagers.

"Ah! Fuck..." Mattheo held his heart.

"I don't understand. " Taylor shook her head. "You're one of the Riddles and still afraid of the storm and a little thunder?" She looked at him in disbelief.

"I am not!! " Boy argued.

While the others were arguing, Enzo walked up to them on all fours and grabbed Monroe by the leg, which he hugged a moment later. The boy was shaking and mumbling something incomprehensible under his breath.

"Like children..." Taylor laughed seeing her friend like this. "It's okay, Enzo..." She stroked his head. "It's just a little..." She didn't finish, because soon after they heard another loud bang of lightning. The boys jumped up still scared.

"Yo, Mattheo! " Berkshire crawled over to the brunet. "Thunder buddies for life, right ?!" He glanced uncertainly at the window.

"Fucking right, Berkshire! " He had a high five with him.

"Time for a thunder song. " Lorenzo called.

''When you hear the sound of thunder, don't you get too scared, just grab your thunder buddy and say these magic words: Fuck you, thunder! ''They sang and the others just laughed at them.

The next day, when the students arrived at the lessons, they had a rather unpleasant surprise, as Umbridge appeared in the place of the teacher who should conduct the lessons. Nobody liked her here, in addition, everyone realized what the lessons she conducted would look like. The wizards sat quite hesitantly at their desks, and then tried to focus on the lesson. The woman was severe, every rustle disturbed her, and she shouted at anyone who only moved a little.

Taylor was sitting with Draco this time. The girl finished the task earlier than he did. Malfoy was depressed by the fact that his companion was better at science than he was, but this time he said nothing but shook his head and tried to focus on the task. The allotted time was running out, and Umbridge would surely punish those who didn't make it in time with the command.

Monroe glanced at the clock, then at the professor looking around the classroom. As the elder looked the other way, Taylor grabbed her quill pen and marked the correct answer on one of the tasks that Malofy hadn't finished. The boy was surprised at this gesture, but nodded slightly in thanks. When the teacher didn't pay attention to them again, Monroe helped the blonde again. Now he had one last assignment to do, the witch was about to give him an answer, when suddenly Umbridge announced to the class that time was up.

The elderly woman began to check who had managed to complete the tasks and who had not. As usual, there was a smile on her face that wasn't necessarily sincere. The witch rewarded those who did the tasks correctly, and punished those who didn't make it at all.

"Mr. Malfoy..." She looked at the blonde. "I'm sorry to say..." She shook her head. "You haven't obeyed my task once again. " She announced. "You know that I don't tolerate such behavior. "

"I just ... "

"Silent. " Umbridge cut him off and smiled again. "Don't speak up without being asked. "

Monroe raised her hand so the woman looked at her and allowed her to speak.

"With all due respect, professor. " Student said. "The allotted time was far too short. " She said looking at her eyes. "Literally a few people managed to get through it all, and besides, Draco didn't just do the last task, so I think... "

"I appreciate your concern for your friend, my dear." Professor interrupted her. "But I don't agree with you. The time was right, as can be seen from the effects." She looked at the class.

"Only a few of us made it... "

"It means you could've made it in time after all, couldn't you, Miss Monroe?" Woman smiled at her. "After all, you're one of the few people who have done it. "

Taylor wanted to say something else but failed because Umbridge had forbidden her.

The teacher decided to send letters to the parents of the students who didn't follow her instructions, and she also delivered a rather unpleasant speech. She insulted them, and yet there was still a smile on her face. The whole event upset the students even more.

"Father's going to kill me..." Draco whispered and rested his chin on his hand.

Taylor didn't doubt it, she knew what his father was like, in addition, everything in her was boiling when she had to listen to how this woman insulted her friends. Teenager turned the page of the textbook over and smiled under her breath.

Monroe raised her hand and the professor allowed her to speak.

"Professor Umb * tch... Um, I mean Professor Umbridge. " She improved quickly and there was a few chuckles in the class. "I found a photo of yours..." She said with a smile, then looked at the teacher, and then back at the picture. "Damn, you look so beautiful! "

Draco, seeing the photo, started to laugh.

Umbridge, however, approached the student unknowingly, and when she saw the photo she sighed heavily.

"My dear, that's a cow. " The older woman said, and after her words the class laughed and only after a while teacher understood what Monroe meant. "Taylor Monroe!! " She shouted indignantly, and then the pause bell rang.

All students left the class while Taylor had to stay and listen to another of Umbridge's talking.

"I praised you, I prepared the award, and you're repaying this way to me?! " Professor was indignant. "How dare you?! "

"How dare I? And how dare you? " Monroe folded her arms over her chest. "Did my words hurt you? Did you feel upset? " Taylor asked and teacher nodded. "Well, that's how it was supposed to be. " She added indifferently. "I guess it means that you're only human like each of us and also have any feelings, like all of us. The words gave the impression how they should've. You see, my friends and other students in this class or school, also have been affected by your stupid and mean words. " She said without breaking eye contact with the nervous teacher. "Eh, anyway, let's get to the point. How many points are you taking from me? What great punishment awaits me? "

"I'm taking ten points!! " She shouted and wanted to add something more, but the Hogwarts Headmaster entered the room. Dumbledore.

"Miss Monroe..." The man looked at her gently. "Please go to class. " He added with a smile.

Young woman nodded and left the room, and the other two teachers had a fairly serious conversation.

"You impressed me even more. " Theodore said, amused.

"Umbridge's face was priceless! " Enzo added.

"Malfoy's too. " Mattheo looked at the blonde.

"Shut up, Riddle. " The other snorted.

"Aren't you going to say your father will hear about this?"

"He'll find out anyway..." He shook his head. "Even though he shouldn't be this time. " He said, then glanced at Taylor walking next to him. "You didn't have to do this. " Said, but she didn't react too much. "But thanks..." He added after a while and girl smiled under her breath. "Remember that, because I will not repeat it again! " He added quickly.

"Fine, fine. " She nodded.
