"Good morning class" Hagrid spoke. I smiled and looked at Professor Umbridge writing down notes on her clipboard.
"Er. Today we are going to be studying thestrals" he spoke. "Can anyone tell me why some people in this class cannot see them?" He asked. I raised my hand immediately.
"Yes, Miss Lovegood" he spoke.
"Thestrals can be seen by people who have seen death. People avoid them because they are misunderstood and..." I looked at Professor Umbridge. "... Different" I finished.
"Well done Miss Lovegood. 10 points to Ravenclaw" he spoke. Tut tut. Came from Umbridge's mouth and we all looked over.
"You know on educational decree number 27, it states that thestrals are dangerous and are feared by many wizards." She spoke. I grimaced.
"Excuse me, Professor Umbridge" I spoke politely. She stopped and looked over at me, her eyebrows raised.
"Yes Miss Lovegood" she spoke, angrily.
"Professor, how can thestrals be dangerous if people who've only seen death can see them. They're misunderstood, Professor. People avoid them because it bothers them knowing they've seen someone who've died" I spoke. She looked at me blankly.
"Well, you'd know all about that, wouldn't you. Your mother died, didn't she? And she was crazy. If she didn't experiment, she wouldn't have died from one of her backfired spells, couldn't she? And she deserved it, crazy loon. Doesn't that bother you that you will turn out to be exactly the same as her. Pathetic, crazy and loony" she informed. I stomped towards to her.
"You do not insult my mother. Her death was a tragic accident and she was a smart witch and some spells she invented are useful and taught at schools" I yelled, angrily. She looked at me, evilly.
"Like what? A potion to see Nargles? A ointment to prevent wrackspirts?" She teased. I growled.
"YOU DO NOT INSULT MY MOTHER! SHE INVENTED THE WINGARDIOM LEVIOSA CHARM AND MANY OTHERS! IF YOU INSULT HER ONE MORE TIME I WILL...." I yelled, fury in my eyes. She grimaced and wrote down on her clipboard,  mumbling curses under her breath. She finished writing and looked up at Hagrid, who glanced at her, confused.
"My job here is done. I'd hope to see you around, Hagrid. If you're worthy of teaching" she spoke and walked away. I breathed in and out calmly, stopping my tears and Hagrid walked over.
"Can someone take her to the infirmary?" He asked. Padma and Hannah raised their hand and left with me up the steps and towards the infirmary.

"What happened?" Professor McGonagall asked, walking towards us on the second corridor.
"Professor Umbridge insulted her mother" Padma spoke. She gasped and walked with us to the infirmary.
"My mother did great things. She was misunderstood." I sobbed as I sat down on the hospital bed. I wiped away my tears and looked at professor McGonagall.
"Professor" I spoke. "Did you see what Umbridge is making us do in detention?" I asked. She shook her head.
"Well, Harry and I have to cut out hand open every night and write lines with an enchanted quill that scars our hand with the words we are writing in blood in our paper. I haven't been turning up to any, because I faint every time, but Harry's hand is scarring badly and his friends are really worried" I spoke. She nodded and headed out the door, accompanied with Hannah and Padma.
"I'll give you my notes" Padma spoke, turning around.
"Thank you" I spoke as they walked around the corridor. I laid bake and breathed as I looked out the window.
"Your mother was an extraordinary person, Cass. We all know that. People often teased her about her beliefs and observations of Nargles. But the Quibbler your dad edits is really popular. He even is supporting popular by interviewing him on how you-know-who has returned. To make you feel better. I read the Quibbler" She spoke. I smiled.
"Really?"
"Yes. I love the spells that are in there. They're very useful" she spoke. I smiled.
"You should write an article in the magazine about the spells and how they are useful" I spoke.
"That'll be a great idea" she spoke. I nodded and headed to my next class which happy was Divination with the Hufflepuffs.

The class was rather quiet and I glanced at the crystal ball.
"Professor" I spoke. Trelawney walked over.
"Yes, Cass" she spoke.
"Does the crystal ball read the future?" I spoke. She glanced at me.
"It only recalls fortunes. But you could be a clairvoyant. They use them to foretell glimpses of the future. But they're really rare." She spoke. I nodded.
"Well, professor. Every time I see something, it foretells something that might happen I the future." I spoke. She looked at me and sat down at the chair opposite me.
"Hold your hands on the glass and focus on it." She spoke. I nodded and the same image as for ten past month has appeared. I'm in the ministry and I see you-know-who and he says: "I knew it" as my glamour drops and I fall to the ground.

The image disappears and I look at Professor Trelawney who looks at me, shocked.
"He's watching you" she spoke, pointing to the window. "Out there" she answered and stood up.
"He's replacing you for your grandmother. Be careful. Being a double agent can have consequences. But I bet you will do a great job. Because I see a good ending. You're going to live" she spoke and turned around, but stopped.
"You'll be a great seer too. You should teach at this school someday" she spoke. I nodded and headed out the trapdoor and towards the dining hall.

Luna was reading her copy of fantastic beasts and where to find them as I sat down next to her.
"Hello, sis" she spoke, putting her book down.
"You missed the notices. Umbridge is going crazy with the portraits. We have our first meeting tonight, I'm really excited" she spoke. I nodded.
"Has Umbridge come to any of your  classes?" I asked. She nodded.
"I heard what happened in Care of Magical Creatures. You should be careful. She is evil and she has power that you don't have. She's controlling Fudge like a puppet" she spoke. I nodded.
"Did you hear that all groups or clubs must be checked with her. Apparently the Gryffindoor Quidditch team got cut off. But Cho told me to inform you that Ravenclaw is still on. You have practice tomorrow morning as well... Just for you to know" she spoke.
"Thanks" I spoke and took out my potions book and started reading.
