Worlds Collide

Chapter Forty Two

ROSELLA’S P.O.V
By the time we made it to Professor Umbridge’s classroom and soon walked up to her office before knocking on the door and after a short moment we heard her speak up, “come in.” she said and the both of us walked in and closed the door before she spoke up, “good evening Mr. Potter and Miss. Cullen. sit.” she said to us before the both of us sat down before she spoke up again, “the both of you are going to be doing some lines for me today.” she told us and before we could take out something to write with, she stopped us, “no, not with your Quills. You’re both going to be using a couple of special ones of mine.” she said to us and Harry and I just looked at each other before she gave us the Quills before she spoke up again, “now, Mr. Potter, I want you to write ‘I must not tell lies’” she said to him before she spoke up to me, “and for you Miss. Cullen, I want you to write, ‘I must not talk back’” she said to me and I sighed a little, “how many times?” Harry asked her, “well let's say for as long as it takes for the message to sink in.” she said and before we could do anything, Harry spoke up again, “you haven’t given us any ink” he told her, “neither of you will be needing any ink.” she said before Harry and I did what she wanted us to do. After some time had passed, something began to happen to my hand and I noticed that the same thing was happening to Harry before I saw that what we were writing was painfully appearing on our hands before she soon stood in front of us before speaking, “yes?” she asked, “nothing.” was all Harry said before she looked at me, “you’re enjoying this aren’t you?” I asked her and she just smirked, “then let’s see how much longer that will last.” I said to her and there was a moment of silence before she walked away and both Harry and I continued doing what she wanted us to do for a while longer. After having Detention with Professor Umbridge, both Harry and I left the room and I continuously looked at my hand as it stung a little as it started healing already, “how’s your hand?” Harry asked me, “Alright. It’s not too bad anymore.” I told him, “how? We've only just left.” he said to me, “that’s the brighter side of being what I am. All my wounds heal quicker than an ordinary Human.” I said to him and showed him what was left on my hand, “it’s brilliant.” he said, “in a way but it also depends on how big the injury is. Sometimes I’d have to drink blood for bigger wounds.” I said to him as the both of us continued to walk around, “makes sense in a way.” he said to me and the both of us continued to talk for a while and had a few laughs making me forget everything for a while before the both of us had decided to go to our Common Rooms for the time being.

By the time I made it to the Common Room for the time being and I had gone to sit down and do my Homework for a while until it was done and I had gone to put my stuff away for the night and I sat alone for a while and just thought to myself before I noticed Draco sit down next to me, “are you alright?” he asked me and I nodded, “yeah I’ll be alright.” I told him, “what happened?” he asked me, “what makes you think something happened?” I asked him, “you keep rubbing your hand.” he mentioned and I sighed a little before showing him the scar, “did she do this to you?” he asked me as he grabbed my hand, “yeah, she had us use a quill that repeated what we were writing on the paper onto our hands.” I told him, “it seemed like it hurt.” he told me, “it did.” I said to him, “I’ll say something to my father about this.” he told me, “don’t bother. I doubt he will do anything for me.” I said to him, “why? What makes you think so?” he asked me, “you wouldn't believe me if I told you.” I told him and he sighed, “alright then. If something like that happens again, tell me alright.” he said to me and I nodded and the both of us continued  to talk about it for a while before we had gone to the Great Hall for dinner that night and the both of us ate together for a while and talked the entire time until dinner was over and the both of us spent the rest of the night in the Common Room before going to bed for the night and for a while, I just laid there thinking to myself about everything before I had gotten tired and finally fell asleep later that night. Another day came around and after getting ready for the day and I had left the Common Room with Draco and the others and made my way to the Great Hall holding his hand and by the time we had gotten there with the other’s we all talked the entire time before we started hearing something going on outside the room and we had gone to see what was going on along with a few others and saw Professor McGonagall and Professor Umbridge arguing with each other, “so silly of me but it sounds as if you’re questioning my authority in my own classroom, Minerva.” Professor Umbridge said to her, “not at all Dolores. Merely your medieval methods.” Professor McGonagall said, “I am sorry dear but to question my practices is to question the Ministry and by extension, the Minister himself. I am a tolerant woman but the one thing that I will not stand for is disloyalty.” Professor Umbridge said, “disloyalty?” Professor McGonagall repeated, “things at Hogwarts are far worse than I feared. Cornelius will want to take immediate action.” Professor Umbridge said as she faced the rest of us before she walked away. After what had happened between Professor McGonagall and Professor Umbridge, we all walked away and went to our first class of the day and spent the day with Draco as the both of us ended up talking about what had happened earlier.

As time went on, Professor Umbridge started going around the school as she observed everyone and questioned the teachers until one day, we heard that something had happened to one of the teachers and went outside and saw that Professor Trelawney was leaving as Mr. Filch was bringing out the last of her things before Professor Umbridge eventually walked out and walked up to Professor Trelawney, “16 years I’ve lived and taught here. Hogwarts is my home, you can’t do this.” she said to Professor Umbridge, “actually, I can.” Professor Umbridge said before holding something up before Professor Umbridge walked up to Professor Trelawney and comforted her before Professor Umbridge spoke up, “something you’d like to say dear?” she asked Professor McGonagall, “there are several things I would like to say.” she said as she continued to comfort Professor Trelawney before Dumbledore walked out before speaking up, “Professor McGonagall, might I ask you to escort Sybill back inside.” he said to her before Professor McGonagall and Professor Trelawney made their inside before Professor Umbridge spoke up,, “Dumbledore, may I remind you that under the terms of Educational Decree Number 23 as an acted y the Minister-'' she began to say before Dumbledore spoke up, “you have the right to dismiss my teachers, you do not, however, have the authority to banish them from the grounds. That power remains with the Headmaster” he told her, “for now.” she said to him, “that sounded like a threat.” I whispered to Draco and there was a moment of silence as everyone whispered to each other before Dumbldore spoke up to everyone, “don’t you all have studying to do.” he said to us as he made his way back inside and the rest of us had done the same thing and we had went on with our days. Later that day, classes were over and I wanted to know how Professor Trelawney was doing and I made my way to her room and by the time I had gotten there, I saw that Professor McGonagall was still there before the both of them noticed me, “what is it dear?” Professor McGonagall asked, “I just wanted to see if she was alright.” I said to her, “I’m quite alright dear. That’s very kind of you.” Professor Trelawney said to me, “alright.” I said before I left the room and made my way to the Common Room for the time being and by the time I had gotten there, I had gotten some homework done before I sat next to Draco on the couch and rested my head on his shoulder, “how are you doing?” he asked me, “alright, I went to see how Professor Trelawney was doing earlier.” I told him, “to be honest, I actually thought she was going to leave.” he told me, “I happen to like her. I’m glad Dumbldore did something about it.” I told him, “I'm surprised he showed himself at all.” he told me, “yeah, so was I. I haven’t seen him much since school started.” I told him and the both of us continued to talk about everything before going to the Great Hall for dinner. Later that night, I eventually made it back to the Common Room after dinner and got changed into something comfortable before spending the rest of the night with Draco before going to bed for the night.
