Chapter 24

(A/N: Another Harry Potter/Hamilton video! Enjoy!)

I walked back to the Slytherin House, frowning.

'More detentions! And I didn't even do anything!' I thought, crossing my arms.

As I entered the Slytherin room, the room was silent. Everyone was focused on a tall, black figure standing near the fireplace.

"Professor Umbridge has asked me to tell you all that anyone who would like to join the Inquisitorial Squad, please sign this form and report to her in exactly one week," Snape said, holding up a piece of parchment.

I saw Draco's head of white-blonde hair jerk up.

"Your privileges for joining will include deducting House points from misbehaving students, giving out detentions, and not following certain Educational Degrees," Snape read from another paper.

"When do we need to decide by?" a second-year Slytherin asked, weakly holding up his hand.

"You have until next Friday. Your meeting will be next Saturday, at seven o'clock sharp, in the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom, " Snape answered, frowning.

The students seemed interested enough.

"The sign-up sheet will be up on the board here," Snape motioned at the board, "and it will be taken down after Friday."

Snape left the common room and many students walked over to the board.

I saw Star, Bryson, and Draco walking over to me.

"Y/n, where were you? We couldn't find you anywhere!" Star asked.

"I... was with Harry," I said, shrugging.

Draco scowled slightly, then said, "So, how about the Inquisitorial Squad?"

"Heck to the no! It's a doing of Umbridge, probably to help her stand at the top!" Star said, looking at her twin.

"I agree. You can join if you'd like to, but we aren't," Bryson nodded.

"Y/n? Your opinion?" Draco asked hopefully.

"I'm not joining," I said, looking at his bruised jaw. "I agree with what Star said, it's probably something terrible. I mean, you can deduct House points! Seriously! Do you want to join?"

Draco looked a little disappointed and hesitated.

"Yeah... kinda."

"Psh, he probably just wants to deduct some of the Gryffindor points," Bryson whispered to me.

I nodded, and said, "Join if you want to, Draco, but I'm not, so it's your choice."

I had told Bryson that Draco and I were dating after our visit to Hogsmeade. He was fine with it.

We all went up to our dorms after that.

I was walking down the corridor again, the black door far away.

Would I ever get there?

The door was arriving, but then it all disappeared.

I awoke with a bit of a jump.

"Y/n?"

Star's gentle voice scared me.

"Star...." I mumbled.

"Couldn't sleep?"

"Nope."

I sat up and looked at her.

"Wanna go to the common room?" I asked, grabbing my book.

"Sure."

I stood up and walked down to the empty common room with Star.
