Céline came down to the common room Monday morning with Daphne and Tracey and saw a small group of students gathered around the Slytherin notice board. Except the board had changed a bit, there was a large section added to it.
The three of them walked up to it and looked at the big piece of parchment attached to it that had bold black inked letters.
——— BY ORDER OF ———
The High Inquisitor of Hogwarts
All Student Organizations, Societies, Teams, Groups, and Clubs are henceforth disbanded. An Organization, Society, Team, Group, or Club is hereby defined as a regular meeting of three or more students. Permission to re-form may be sought from the High Inquisitor (Professor Umbridge). No Student Organization, Society, Team, Group, or Club may exist without the knowledge and approval of the High Inquisitor. Any student found to have formed, or to belong to, an Organization, Society, Team, Group, or Club that has not been approved by the High Inquisitor will be expelled.
The above is in accordance with Educational Decree Number Twenty-four.
Signed,
Dolores Jane Umbridge
High Inquisitor
Céline looked at her friends anxiously. She knew she had to go look for Harry and the others. They headed to the Great Hall wondering if all the other houses got this notice as well, and very soon they learned that they had. The Great Hall was buzzing with talk about the new notice.
Céline looked over to the Gryffindor table and saw Harry Ron and Hermione who were also looking over to a couple of Hufflepuffs and Ravenclaw students walking towards them.
Hermione anxiously waved them away. Harry saw Céline and shook his head, indicating to not come over either. He mouthed "We'll- talk- later." Céline nodded and headed to her table where Daphne and Tracey were already sitting.
"So does that mean that the quidditch team is disbanded too?" Céline asked her friends as she sat down.
"That would be awful." Daphne said .
"Well, they'd have to get permission to reform it." Said Tracey
"That's not a problem." Draco's voice said behind them. They looked back to see him smiling smugly and then sat down next to Céline, again unusually close, and pulled out a parchment paper. "I went to Umbridge first thing this morning and got it re-formed. Wasn't really a problem for me though." He said as he rolled up his office looking paper, giving them his usual smug grin.
"Hopefully the others get their teams re-formed." Céline said thoughtfully, as she grabs her toast.
Draco let out a small snort, but said nothing.

Céline Daphne and Tracey headed to Potions after their Ancient Runes lesson, as soon Céline saw Harry, Ron and Hermione she waved to Daphne and Tracey and quickly made her way to them.
"How are you guys?" Céline asked as she linked arms with Hermione.
"Not great. Hedwig got hurt." Harry said.
Céline looked at him alarmed. "What? Is she okay? How did that happen?"
"I was just saying to them, that it's possible that someone intercepted her while delivering a letter to Harry." Hermione said.
"Who sent you a letter?" Céline asked Harry quietly.
"Snuffles." He whispered. "He just said same time same place. No one could possibly know what that means, right?" He sounded nervous.
"Hmm, I'm not sure. But if anyone knew that was your owl, they might be keeping more eyes on you." Céline said thinking about it carefully. "Same place is the fireplace in your common room?"
