Umbridge had called an emergency meeting for the inquisitorial squad as I stand outside the entrance I hear a collection of voices. I look down at my watch, the meeting wasn't supposed to start for another 20 minutes. After some consideration, the smart part of me decides to wait outside, just incase it was private.
"You were going to Dumbledore weren't you?" Delores asks sweetly, so sweet in fact that her words leave a vile taste in my throat. "No!" It was either her words or the sound of hand to skin and the grunt that seemed alarmingly familiar. "Liar!"
Snape walks past me, speaking with a low "Good afternoon Ms L/n." "Hi professor." I say, slightly curious of his reason of being here, from the look of his face I presumed so was he.
"You sent for me, Headmistress?" He says, still maintaining his teeth grit. "Snape, yes!" Delores' surprised tone reminded me of the time when Charli walked in on me and Draco kissing- Slightly out of breath, exhilarated and hiding something.
"The time has come for answers, whether he wants to give them to me or not." Snape's face breaks it's constant expression to communicate a flash of realisation. But as soon as it had came, it had disappeared.
"Have you brought the Veritaserum?" Draco had said something about that during our study sessions, I believe it is a truth serum. We hadn't learn't about it yet so he didn't feel it was much use teaching me now.
"I'm afraid you've used up all my stores interrogating students, the last of it on Miss Chang." Cho, so there was something off, she didn't say it voluntarily. The tiny gasp from harry is either from delight that she didn't do it or rage at himself that he thought she did.
"Unless you wish to poison him, I assure you, I would have the greatest sympathy if you did, I cannot help you." He turns toward me, and sees me still sitting outside the door, tapping my feet nervously.
"He... He's got Padfoot at the place where it's hidden." Me and Snape both stopped in our tracks, I look up in confusion at Snape to find his face riddled with concern and recognition mixed together. He looks at me, he knows that Sirius is my dad, but how?
Before my brain could spiral any further, Umbridge speaks "Padfoot? What is Padfoot? Where is what hidden? What is he talking about Snape?" I look at the male professor, a plea, he gives a slight nod, bows his head and then turns around.
"No idea." I do a quiet noise of gratitude but then I peek through the doorway slightly to see Harry baffled and defeated and suddenly I feel bad. Umbridge could have found your dad. I keep saying it to myself, a barrier to protect me from feeling worse.
"Very well. you give me no choice, Potter." Umbridge says, turning and walking towards her desk. Snape, slinks away, I barely notice and I'm sitting near the door. "And this is an issue of minister security, you leave me with... no alternative."
4 minutes left until my scheduled appointment and yet this doesn't seem like it will be closing anytime soon. From the sounds of it, it seems like she is about to cast a spell of some sorts, I doubt it will be a rough one, she is a part of the ministry after all.
"The cruciatus curse ought to loosen your tongue." Even the most consistent person in the world can surprise you. "That's illegal!" Hermione screeched. "What Cornelius doesn't know, won't hurt him."
1 minute. The crying of the cats grew louder and louder.

"Hello, Ms Delores, you wanted to see me?" She looks at me and drops her wand from Harry, who returns me with a look of relief. "You said the meeting would start 20 past 7." She looks at me, putting on a smile "Oh sorry deary, my ink must have smudged, I meant 20 to 7. You go back to your dorm while I finish up with these ones."
I make my way out of there, I cant bare to see the sadness Harry must be feeling after having a glimpse of the light and then being immediately stripped of it.
After heading back to my house, as I'm about to go up to the girls rooms, an arm pulls me towards the other rooms. What day is it today?
He pins me against the wall "Did you forget what day it was? I was waiting for very long you know. You might have to compensate more just because you kept me here on my own for so long." I place each arm one at a time on his shoulders.
"Oh yeah? And what is that price?" he pulls me off the wall and grabs my waist, he dips me low and responds with as low of a voice. "You'll see." He spins me effortlessly and picks me up.
