The Other Potter

Chapter 63

I really do not think that sorry cuts it given the length of time it has been since my last update...what can I say? Life got in the way. I am sorry though and hopefully by updating regularly again I can make it up to you guys.  I hope you enjoy this chapter!

"Impossible' McGonagall breathed out as the students in the stands began murmuring loudly. "Minerva" The lady in pink spat out in a prim, proper voice. "What the hell do you think you are doing Umbridge?" Blaise sneered as I stood clutching hold of Jimmy honestly having no clue what in the world was going on.

"Shouldn't you be in Azkaban?" Harry yelled angrily and I was beginning to get the distinct impression that nobody here liked this pink lady...Blaise had called her Umbridge? "Get the rest of the students out of here" McGonagall commanded Madam Pomfrey and professor Sprout who left to assist the other teachers getting all the spectators away from the area; those down by the dome remained refusing to leave their best friends and family members stuck in a magical dome with crazy in pink.

"Mr Potter" Umbridge greeted Harry in her creepy proper voice "It's been a long time" She added. "Not long enough" Harry shot back before Snape told Harry to stay quiet. "And where may I ask is the young Miss Granger?" Umbridge called out and McGonagall finally regained her voice.

"What on earth is the meaning of this?" She hissed outraged. "Release these children at once" McGonagall added sending Umbridge the death glare to end all death glares. "Release them?" Umbridge questioned. "Now why on earth would I do that? They are my hostages dear" Umbridge informed McGonagall sugary sweet and I gulped turning back to look at Blaise terrified. – I didn't want to be a hostage!

"Hostages for what?" Harry demanded as Snape was busy surveying the dome and McGonagall was too stunned to speak "Blaise" I squeaked out causing him to snap his gaze from Umbridge to me. "You're going to be fine" Blaise told me desperately while I just looked at him completely freaking out.

"Why, for an exchange of course" Umbridge answered Harry and honestly her voice was probably going to give me nightmares for the rest of my life! How could somebody sound to prim, proper, sweet be holding a bunch of teenager's hostage?

"Exchange for what?" Snape demanded speaking for the first time and I finally stopped staring at Blaise to look at Snape and then Umbridge. "For Mr Potter and Miss Granger of course" Umbridge answered and I felt all the blood rush from my face.

"What do you want with my brother?" I demanded without thinking causing both Harry and Blaise to call out my name and Jimmy to spin around putting his hand to my mouth. "Oh don't worry it's not like she just outed some big secret" Umbridge said causing everyone to look at her curiously. "I already know she is your sister Mr Potter. The whole wizarding world knows" She added before straightening up.

"Now" She began eying Harry. "I've asked once and been ignored. Let's see if I can get an answer this time" Umbridge spoke to Harry her eyes becoming dark and her polite demeanour slipping. "Where is Miss Granger?" Umbridge asked darkly. "Somewhere safe from you" McGonagall snapped while Snape was once again busy testing the dome separating us from them from the outside.

"I was really hoping we could work this out more civilised" Umbridge stated before turning her attention to our group stuck inside the dome. "Crucio" Umbridge said simply and Seamus dropped to the floor screaming. "Seamus" practically everyone yelled at the same time with Dean and Brandon dropping down trying to hold him down while chaos erupted outside our dome with everybody screaming.

"Stop it" Ginny yelled at Umbridge dropping down to join Dean and Brandon while Jimmy kept me back stepping even more in front of me. "Stop" Dean yelled getting to his feet and making to rush Umbridge which only resulted in Umbridge releasing Seamus from the curse and trying it out on Dean instead.
