Amelie sits in Umbridge's office, the pink-clad witch slides her a cup of tea with a sweet smile plastered on her face.

"Have a drink, Miss Fournier, we have much to discuss,"

"What could you possibly want to discuss with me?" Amelie asks, lifting the tea and examining the steam which had a slight blue tint to it. "Also, I don't like veritaserum in my tea"

"That is a dangerous accusation, Miss Fournier," Umbridge's right eye twitches as she tries to maintain her smile.

"I'm not accusing, just stating facts," Amelie replies, examining the contents of the mug. "What if I took this tea with me and got it tested? Or if I tested it myself, it's really not that complicated"

"Miss Fournier, it is required you drink the tea,"

"I'd like to see you force it down my throat," Amelie cocks an eyebrow. "Or I could drink it, walk outside and tell all of the students what's really in the tea"

"I do not think it wise that you threaten me Miss Fournier. Things could get ugly,"

"They can't get uglier than that outfit,"

"Miss Fournier, you have earned yourself another detention," Umbridge huffs. "Now get out of my office"

"Gladly"

Amelie exits the office and stares at the line of waiting students before her eyes flick to the closed door.

"Don't drink the tea," Amelie murmurs to the student at the door. "Pass it along. It's laced"

The witch continues her descent of the stares, watching as the students whisper to each other. The witch holds her head high as she meets Draco at the bottom of the stairs, he is waiting for his own interrogation.

"How did it go?" Draco asks.

"She's put veritaserum in the tea," Amelie whispers. "Everyone knows, just pretend to drink it"

"Won't she notice? If no one drinks the tea?"

"Just pour it onto the carpet under her desk, she won't notice until later. Or throw it in her face, she might melt"

"What are you talking about?"

"The Wizard of Oz. It's a muggle book and film," Amelie shakes her head. "Honestly, I need to train you up on all things muggle"

As Amelie guides Draco into the Room of Requirements, he notices a spacious area with dim lighting. In the centre of the room, a large white sheet hangs from the ceiling, and a small device is projecting vivid images onto the screen. The images seem to be constantly changing, displaying a range of colours and shapes that weave together in a flurry of images.
