Torchwick or Grindelwald

Chapter 4: Banned from DADA

DADA Classroom No POV

The Patil Twins made a paper bird and flew it around the room. Wade sat on his seat with Merula to his left and they too saw the paper bird and didn't bother with it but everyone noticed how the paper burned and landed on the Patil Twins' desk. At the door was the Pink Devil herself with her wand aimed meaning she was the one who burned the paper bird.

Umbridge: good morning, children.

Everyone sat back on their desks as she used her wand to write on the board and walked to the front of the classroom.

Umbridge: Ordinary Wizarding Level Examinations. O-W-L's. More commonly known as OWLs. Study hard and you will be rewarded. Fail to do so, and the consequences may be severe.

Merula:<rolls her eyes>

Umbridge used her wand to make the books on her desk pass themselves as Wade looked at the cover and it looked very, very childish. It looked like it was made for children to learn a little bit of magic before coming to Hogwarts.

Umbridge: your previous instruction in this subject has been disturbingly uneven. But you'll be pleased to know from now on, you will be following a carefully structured, Ministry-approved course of defensive magic. Yes?

Hermione: there's nothing in here about using defensive spells.

Umbridge: using spells? Well, I can't imagine why you would need to use spells in my classroom.

Ron: we're not going to use magic?

Umbridge: you will be learning about defensive spells in a secure, risk-free way.

Harry: well, what use is that? If we're going to be attacked, it won't be risk-free.

Umbridge: students will raise their hands when they speak in my class. It is the view of the Ministry that a theoretical knowledge will be sufficient to get you through your examinations, which, after all, is what school is all about.

Harry: and how's theory suppose to prepare us for what's out there?

Umbridge: there is nothing out there, dear. Who do you imagine would want to attack children, like yourself?

Wade: 3, 2, 1...

Harry: oh, I don't know, maybe Lord Voldemort.

This got some students shaking their heads and some murmuring.

Umbridge: now let me make this... quite plain. You have been told that a certain dark wizard is at large once again. This... is... a... lie.

Harry: it's not a lie. I saw him! I fought him!

Merula:<whispers> aren't you gonna help him? Just saying.

Wade:<whispers> this is a losing battle. It will take time to convince anyone otherwise.

Umbridge: detention, Mr Potter!

Harry: so according to you, Cedric Diggory dropped dead of his own accord?

Umbridge: Cedric Diggory's death was a murder committed by Wade Grindelwald.

Merula went to stand up but Wade sat her down.

Wade: with what proof?

Umbridge: excuse me?

Wade: what proof do you have that I killed Cedric Diggory?

Umbridge: you're a dark wizard.

Wade: that's it? That's all you have proof of? Just me being a dark wizard is your only proof? Not really strong proof.
