Harry, Ron, Harper, and Hermione sit with each other, looking up at the staff table where Umbridge stood, holding a parchment.

"By Order of the Ministry of Magic: Dolores Jane Umbridge will replace Albus Dumbledore as Head of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry." Umbridge read, looking over them all smugly. "My first act as your new Headmistress is to firm an Inquisitional Squad, lead by Draco Malfoy. They will report directly to me about the goings on in the halls of this school.

Ron and Harper shared a look, rolling their eyes as they turned their head to look at Umbridge.

"Furthermore, our good caretaker, Mr. Filch has requested we reinstate the 'old punishments. I have decided that there is no reason we shouldn't." Umbridge said.

Mr. Filch stands at the back of the hall, grinning like a kid at Christmas.

Harry, Hermione, Harper, and Ron head towards the Hogwarts Grounds. Harper and Ron are dressed in their Quidditch robes.

Reasons why Hermione is not playing? Angelina found someone else and she thought that Harper is good enough to be a Seeker. And Harry is nice enough to let him borrow his Firebolt.

"Are you sure you can't? Hagrid said it was important." Harry said, looking at Ron and Harper who shook their heads.

"No way. Quidditch practice. If we don't show up, Angelina'll go mad." Ron said as Harper nodded in agreement.

"Good luck, Harper, Ron." Hermione said, squeezing Harper's shoulder and smiling at Ron who returned the gesture.

"Good luck, both of you." Harry said, nodding to Harper and Ron.

"Thanks, I'll need it." Harper said, letting Ron drag him towards the Quidditch Pitch.

They walk for about thirty more minutes in comfortable silence before they arrive at the Quidditch Pitch where they see Angelina, the Captain and Chaser, Alicia and Katie, the Chasers, Andrew Kirke and Jack Sloper, the Beaters. And of course, him as a Seeker, and Ron as a Keeper.

Harper walks towards Andrew, who smiles kindly at him, and stands beside him. "Hi." He said, returning the gesture.

"Hi." Andrew said, looking towards Ron, his smile fading when he sees Ron glaring at him.

Ron stops glaring at Andrew when Angelina begins talking, glancing towards Harper who moved to stand beside him making him smile slightly at the fact that Harper wanted to stay close to him.

Ron turns to Harper when Angelina finishes talking. "Good luck, Harper." He said, smiling down at Harper who returned the smile.

"You too, Won-Won." Harper said, making Ron smile at the nicknames.

"It's been so long since I've heard that." Ron said.

"I'll make sure to call you that in front of them then." Harper said, not waiting for Ron to respond as he flew up to the sky with Firebolt.

Harper enters Professor McGonagall's office. She sits behind her desk while Umbridge sits in the corner with a notepad.

"Please sit, Granger." Professor McGonagall said.

Harper sits down, making himself comfortable and smiles up at Professor McGonagall who returns the smile.
