Umbridge looked directly at me with a smile so sweet I wanted to be sick.
"Young lady down the back with the blonde hair, feet off the desk, please." Umbridge said with a sickeningly sweet voice.
I rolled my eyes and started fixing up my laces. I looked at Umbridge and she had her wand out and with one flick of it, my feet were off the desk, my uniform was neatened, and my seat was pushed in. I growled in annoyance and shot her a glare. She started talking about our O.W.L's but I tuned her out until Harry started speaking.
"You mean we won't be using magic?" Harry asked.
I then noticed the book on my desk.
"I don't see why you would feel the need to use magic in my class." Umbridge said.
"Maybe to defend ourselves from you're sweetness!" I called out.
A few Slytherin's snickered and Umbridge glared at me.
"What is you're name young lady?" Umbridge asked.
I rolled my eyes.
"Starts with an A, ends with a N." I answered.
I smirked at her and leaned forward in my seat.
"It's Azkaban." I said.
Umbridge looked furious.
"Do you know who you're talking to young lady?!!" Umbridge almost yelled.
"Yeah, and idiot apparently. But hey, keep talking to me like that if you want my great grandmother, the great Sabrina Benton, to haunt you." I said.
I heard a few snickers as Umbridge looked at me in shock.
"The names Andrea Maria Benton, daughter of Maria and Jackson Benton, older sister of Alex Jackson Benton, and great grandaughter of Sabrina Benton." I said.
Umbridge straightened up and I leaned back in my seat.
"Now-" Umbridge started but Harry cut her off.
"Why won't we be using magic?" Harry asked.
"Why would you need to?" Umbridge replied.
"To defend ourselves." Harry said.
"And who would you need to defend yourself against?" Umbridge asked.
"Oh, I don't know, maybe...... Lord Voldemort." Harry answered.
Umbridge looked around the class.
"You have been told that a certain dark wizard has returned. This is a lie." Umbridge said.
"That's complete bull!" I yelled.
"What, do you think Cedric Diggory dropped dead of his own accord?" Harry said.
Harry was starting to get angry and I could tell.
"Cedric Diggory's death was a tragic accident." Umbridge said.
"It was murder!" Harry and I yelled.
I balled my hands into fists.
"It was murder and you know it you lying bitch!" I yelled.
"Detention!" Umbridge yelled. "Mr Potter, and Miss Benton, meet me in my office after class."
I grabbed my stuff.
"I'd rather go back to Azkaban than spend another second in the same room as you." I spat.
I walked out of the classroom slamming the door behind me. I stormed off to the common room and walked in. I sat on the couch closest to the fireplace and felt the emotions from the past two days hit me.
~~~
It's been a few weeks since the Umbridge incident and Harry and I were now heading to her office for our detentions. We knocked on the door.
"Come in!" Umbridge's sweet voice called.
Harry opened the door and we walked in.
"Ah, Mr Potter, Miss Benton. Come in, come in." Umbridge said.
I rolled my eyes and we walked in properly.
"Take a seat." Umbridge said. "Now, today you'll be writing lines for me."
We sat down and went to grab out our quills but Umbridge stopped us.
"No, no, you'll be using some special quills of mine." Umbridge said.
She grabbed two quills and place them on our desks.
"Now, you will write 'I must not tell lies'." Umbridge said.
"How many times?" Harry asked.
"Until it sinks in." Umbridge answered.
We grabbed the quills and Umbridge walked to her desk.
"You haven't given us any ink, Professor." Harry said.
"You won't need it." Umbridge replied.
We started writing when there was suddenly a pain in my left hand. I hissed in pain and looked at my hand at the same time as Harry. The word 'I' had been carved into our hands.
"Is this there a problem?" Umbridge asked.
"No." Harry answered.
We continued writing the sentences and it had been carved into our hand once when Umbridge let us go. Harry and I went in different directions. I headed out to the black lake and Harry headed back to his common room. I sighed as I walked down to the lake and sat down. The cool summer wind blew my hair into my face. I sat on the ground with my knees up against my chest for about thirty minutes when I heard footsteps from behind me.
"Oi, what're you doing out here?" I heard a voice.
I turned slightly to see that it was the Ravenclaw Prefect.
"Oh, sorry. I lost track of time." I said.
I stood up and made sure my left hand was covered before walking inside and to the dungeons. I walked up to the common room portrait, said the password, and walked into the common room and up to my dorm. I walked in and saw Millicent sitting on her bed eating some sweets. I grabbed my PJ's and some bandages and walked into the bathroom. I locked the door and quickly got changed. Molly got me new ones since the others didn't fit anymore.

Walked out and put my uniform at the end of my bed. I quickly wrapped up my left hand before Millicent could notice it and got into bed.
"Night, Millicent." I said.
"Night, Andrea." Millicent replied.
I started to slowly drift off to sleep when I remembered something and fot out of bed.
"Hey, Millicent, where'd you put the container of flowers from in my trunk?" I asked.
"On you're desk, along with the tea set." Millicent answered.
"Thanks." I said.
I walked to my desk and took a flower out of the container. I boiled the water in the teapot with the flower petals inside in and poured it into a mug. I took a sip of it and stood up. I walked over to my bed and for into bed. I drank the tea and set the mug on my nightstand. I layed down and slowly fell asleep.
