Shadows (a BTS fanfic)

Chapter Twenty-Seven

Later that day Harry and I had to go to the hag's office.

It was a light shade of pink with plates hanging on the walls. Poor cats were inside those plates.

In front of the room sat the hag wearing another pink outfit. Her desk, chairs, an everything on it was pink.

She motions to the two chairs in front of us.

I reluctantly sit next to Harry.

"Now, in front of you is a piece of parchment. I will give you a special quill of mine and you will write, "I must not tell lies." Alright?" she says obnoxiously.

"But we didn't lie. I'm the most honest person I know," I snap back.

"Then your family should be very proud," she says with a sarcastic smile.

She hands me and Harry two quills.

"Where's the ink?" he asks. How can he be so accepting?!

"Remember, this is a special quill."

"How many times do we have to write it?"

"As many times before it sinks in," I see a faint smirk on her face.

I grab the quill and scratch onto the parchment, "F U."

Suddenly I felt a sharp pain on my right hand. I look at it to see an F started appearing. It hurt like hell, being scratched on.

Next a U appeared. I grit my teeth as I glare at her.

I look over to Harry who actually wrote, "I must not tell lies."

Aish, why did I have to put pressure on those letters?! I wanted to tear off my hand right there. It hurt worse than hell now as it stung harshly.

Umbridge smiles to herself. "You may go now."

I give her one last glare before helping Harry up and out of the room.

"Are you okay?" he asks when he sees my hand. 

"Not sure. I want to cut my hand off," I reply. "You?"

"Not much better."

"She really is a horrid hag," I say angrily.

"Agreed."

When the pain subsides a little I walk to the study hall with my books.

"What was detention?" Jordis asks me worriedly.

"She had me and Harry write something on parchment with a special quill. It ended up being carved into our skin," I show her, Celia, Namjoon and Yoongi.

"F U?" Jordis laughs a little before regaining her composure.

"You have to tell Dumbledore!" Celia says.

"I won't give her that satisfaction," I reply.

"She can't do this!" Yoongi stands up angrily but Namjoon pulls him down.

"What're we going to do then?" he asks cooly. "Jee is also one not to follow directions. She will not tolerate this woman at all."

"She'll have a one way ticket to Azkaban," I add. "Then again, I want to kill the hag myself."

"Okay guys, we need to study," Namjoon orders. "I'll think of something in the meantime."

We all agree slowly, one by one.

A week passed by and Umbridge was taking over the school. She had Filch hammer rules into the wall of the Main Hall.

Some were ridiculous like girls and boys be 8 feet away from each other. Of course we couldn't do that.

Often Celia and Logan snuck off at night. One day I found her arm covered in scribbled words.

Then the one most  intolerable rule came; no listening to music.

Me and the group advised a plan that would get us into a lot of trouble, but who the hell cared? The worst would be expelled, and we all wanted out of this hell hole.

In the Slytherin common room, we all decided to throw a party. Jee was the DJ and mostly played Yoongi's songs but others like Jimin's too.

Everyone was invited and we were spread out everywhere in the Slytherin dorms.

Umbridge took over all our classes. She evaluated the teachers with stupid questions in front of students. She even humiliated Snape!

Just like last time, the boys started dancing and doing what they did at the ball.

The party was at night so it didn't last long before Umbridge came storming in.

"You wretched students, I hate kids!" she screeches before using her wand to flick the boys and girls apart. "Who arranged this?!

"I did."

Namjoon steps forward.

Umbridge sneers before pulling harshly on his arms and dragging him away to who knows where.

After that all the students went to bed while we had to clean up everything. It was easy and quick since we had magic.

"It was my fault, I should've taken the blame," I state.

"It just goes to show that friends are always there for you," Celia replies.

Yeah, friends.

The next day there was a large commotion in a mini courtyard inside the school.

Students gathered around as Filch set Professor Trelawney's luggages around her. The teacher was wacko but she didn't deserve to be banished!

"Now the hag is doing this?!" Celia clenches her hands into fists.

Professor McGonagall pushes through the crowd to comfort the whimpering teacher.

"What do you think you're doing, Dolores?!"

"What the Ministry asked of me," she replies with a coy smile.

Luckily Professor Dumbledore comes out.

"You may have to power to expel teachers, but you do not have the power to banish them from school grounds forever! That power remains to the headmaster," he says angrily.  "Minerva, escort her back to her classroom."

Professor Trelawney thanks him whole heartedly as she and Professor McGonagall makes their way back inside.

"For now," Umbridge says with a smile that could kill. No, they'd be lucky if they're dead so they don't have to look at her.

"Don't you have any studying to do? GO!" Professor Dumbledore motions the crowd away.

"I seriously hate her by the day," I sneer. "How's your arm?"

"It's healing," Celia winces a little. "But you should see what the hag did to Logan! He was bleeding!"

"I don't know what we can do," I reply sadly.

"I know."
