"AVADA KEDAVRA!" I heard Voldemort exclaim Harmony drop dead intomy arms, her body went limb. She was no longer breathing heavily. She was still, motionless, lifeless.
I shot up panting like crazy. I looked around the room and saw May helping Harmony dress up for the day. I let out a sigh of relief and fell back onto my bed. What the heck. Why is Voldemort in my dream? It's bad enough that he's my..... father.
"Mommy?" Harmony sat down next to me fully dressed.
"Yes love?" I sat up and pulled her onto my lap.
"I had a nitemar" She said quietly.
"What was it about?" I asked.
"Vo- voldywort-" Voldywort? hahahaha was so funny when she said Voldemort. "He-he killed you and Harry and May, and Won, and..."
I embraced her in a hug. "It's okay, it was just a dream."
"He-he said to be wit him or.. he hut you..." she sobbed.
I cupped her face with my hand and kissed her forehead. "It won't happen harms. i won't let it happen. I promise."
She nodded slightly. "o-okay."
Ministry seeks Education Reform
Dolores Umbridge Appointed First-Ever "High" Inquisitor"
"What's that suppose to mean?" I grabbed The daily Prophet from May and read the Article. "In a surpise move last night the Ministry of Magic passed new legislation giving itself an unprecedented level of control at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
'The Minister has been growing uneasy about goings-on at Hogwarts for some time,' said Junior Assestant of the Minister, Percy Weasley. 'He is now responding to concerns voiced by anxious parents, who feel the school may be moving in a direction they do not approve.'
'This is not the first time in recent weeks Fudge has used new laws to effect improvements at the Wizarding school. As recently as August 30th Educational Decree Twenty-two was passed, to ensure that, in the event of the current Headmaster being unable to provide a candidate for a teaching post, the Ministry should select an appropriate person.
'That's how Dolores Umbridge same to be appointed to the teaching staff at Hogwarts,'Weasley said last night. 'Dumbledore couldn't find anyone, so the Minister put in Umbridge and of course, she's been an immediate success--'"
"She's been a What?!" Harry snorted loudly.
"Wait Harry" I said. "There's more. '-- an immediate success, totally revolutionizing the teaching of Defense against the Dark Arts and providing the Minister with on-the-ground feedback about what's really happening at Hogwarts'
'It is this last function that the Ministry has now formalized with the passing of Educational Decree Twenty-three, which creates the new position of 'Hogwarts High Inquisitor.'"
"I can't believe this!" Mione exclaimed. "this is outrageous!"
Weeks went by and Umbridge has been taking over the school. She's been putting up rules. Rules like boy and girls aren't allowed to be within 8 inches of each other. Draco and I broke that rule a lot, Umbridge was okay with Draco because he joined her little club, The Inquisitorial Squad. They were all Slytherins. Surprise, surprise.
A rule that seriously ticked us off was that she banned all Weasley products. I was hating her more and more. I've gotten so many detentions from her. Fred, George, May, and I agreed not to pull any pranks. And for the people who knew us well enough, knew that it's a bad thing for us not to prank.
Umbridge's been going to all the classes asking teachers a bunch of questions. She measured Flitwick! She took notes of everything the professors do in their class. Professor Trawleny was the worst, she told Umbridge that she's in grave danger. Trawleny probably ruined, whatever Umbridge is doing that for, when she said that.
Potions was pretty funny though!
I was sitting next to Draco. May and Blaise were in front of us. Harry, Hermione, and Ron were sitting at the table next to us. Pinkie walked in wearing her usual horrible pink outfit, carrying a pink clip board. She walked up to Snape asking him a bunch of questions.
"When you first applied for a job here, you signed up for Defense Against the Dark Arts, am i correct?"
"Yes." Snape stood still, keeping his emontionless face he always have on.
"And you were unsucsessful to recieve the job?"
"Obviously"
Other students held back their laugh. Ron snickered a bit, so did I. You gotta admit, It was pretty funny. Pinkie giggled and walked out of the class room. Snape hit Ron on the back of the head with a notebook and he did the same with me.
Harry had it hard too, Pinkie has been giving him detentions too. Harry's been missing quidditch practice because of all the stressed and because of his hand. he's been snapping at people, he was always arguing with people. Angelina was pissed off with Harry because he's been missing practice. Angelina was the captain of the quidditch team. I tried my best at practice, with Harry not going to practice, with my hand, and with Umbridge its hard. I've been trying to cover Harry, but angelina stopped listening to me.
I've been snapping at people too now. I have to worry about O.W.L's, I have to take care of Harmony. Voldemort had been giving Harmony nightmares making her wake up in the middle of the night, which makes her wake me up. Voldemort has been visiting me in my dreams too. It's just, UGH!
"Potter!" Angeline stomped over to us in the Great hall. she started yelling at him for not focusing on Quidditch and for getting more detentions all that.
"Miss Johnson! How dare you make such a racket in the great Hall! 5 points from Gryffindor!" McGonagall exclaims.
"But Professor! He landed himself ANOTHER week of detention!" Angelina said.
"Detention?" McGonagall asked, "from Whom?"
"Professor Umbridge" Harry grumbled.
"Are you telling me, after our talk. You still managed to lose your temper with Professor Umbridge?" McGonagall questioned.
"Yes.." Harry muttered.
"Get a grip on yourself, Potter! 5 points from Gryffindor!"
"What!?" Harry exclaimed, "you can't-"
McGonagall cut him off. "No more arguments," then she walked away.
"Harry, she's right." Mione said.
I slammed my head onto the table. "Can I just go back in my dorm and sleep? and stay asleep like, forever?."
"Stop being dramatic Ems." May said.
I glared at her. "I am freaking out here May! Harmony is constantly waking me up at night because Voldemort is making her have nightmares. I haven't had a nice dreamless night because I'm either woken up by Harmony or Voldemort is in my Dreams threatening to kill everyone If I don't join his side. My hand is throbbing from all the Detentions from Umbridge. And Angelina is pushing all of us at practice. I can feel anger bubbling up inside of me, why? Because Voldemort is constantly provoking me! I can't take it anymore."
"You think you have it hard?" Harry questioned me. "I constantly feel angry. I go off on everyone. I pretty much have detention everyday for the rest of term. You think you got it hard? You don't have a bunch of people pressuring you to do good all the time! Everyone thinks I'm a liar! Your friends didn't turn against you! MINE did!"
"I am fed up with you yelling at me, Harry!" I exclaimed. "You constantly yell at me for something I didn't do! You always Take your anger out of me! I let you, I just sit there, letting you yell at me because I know you're under a lot of pressure. You're my best friend Harry, and I try to help you! But how do I get repaided!? By YOU screaming at me and you constantly chewing my head off. And I'm sick of it! So have fun with your detentions with Umbridge and the next time Angelina chews on your head. Because I am NOT covering you again." I stood up and stormed out of the Great Hall.
