Hogwarts Express: Time Travel

LXXVII. All is fair in love and war

LXXVII. All is fair in love and war

Annie arrived at the entry hall, there is a huge crowd of students standing at the top of the stairs leading down the entry hall, there's an unearthly wail, Annie pushes her way through the crowd until she can see, and being incredibly short, comes in handy in those sort of situations.

"She's like a little mouse" laughed Rod

"Yeah, especially in when she's in large crowds, you can easily mistake her for a first or second year" added Barty with a teasing smile

"Okay, make fun, not all people are tall" the said girl huffed annoyed as a small pink tint glowed on her cheeks

"It's absolutely cute" declared Evan

"I hate to agree, but you're definitely adorable" grinned Draco as he bit his lower lip

Trelawney stands at the bottom of the stairs, looking crazed, turning in circles, her wand out and clutched tight in her hand.

Trelawney: [Shrieking] You cannot sack me!

Umbridge: [Smirking evilly] I can do whatever I wish

Trelawney: This is my home...

Umbridge: [Smirk turning into an ugly grin] Not anymore! [Pointing at the door with a stubby finger] Now remove yourself from this castle!

"She's so evil" Lily winced "I can't believe she's a teacher"

"She can't sack her now can't she?" a Ravenclaw girl asked McGonagall

"Well she does have the power to do so as high inquisitor" the woman answered "But kicking her out of the castle entirely she has no right"

Dumbledore: [Appearing behind the two women, looking rather furious] She will not be leaving

Umbridge: [Looking anything but pleased with his interference] I have the authority headmaster!

"I've never seen Dumbledore so furious" whispered a surprised Marlene to her friends who could only nod in agreement

"Not a very pretty sight to behold" Dorcas agreed

"But hilarious it is, to watch the woman being reminded of who she was talking to"

Dumbledore: Oh, I agree professor Umbridge, you do have the power to dismiss my teachers, However... [His gaze shifts to Trelawney who stands alone in the entry hall, smiling at him through her tears] You cannot send them from this castle. That is still my decision. Professor Trelawney, will remain here

"Damn, Blimey professor Dumbledore is a force when he is mad" an impressed Gideon spoke eyes wide as he did.

"But the look on Umbridge's face, look at the look" Dorcas shouted excitedly "This is so satisfying"

"I can't believe we missed this" frowned an annoyed looking George

"Why? Where you?" asked Hermione "You and Fred never miss this kind of things"

"We... were, uh, it's best you don't know" he shrugged

"Right.... Georgie..."

"All right, Freddie was mending to his broken heart and me being the good 'ol brother I am, I merely helped"

"Why do I find that so hard to believe?" Ginny question with a raised eyebrow

"Because you have no faith in us little sister, none at all"
