You couldn't get the woman's smile out of your head. Something about it made you feel uneasy. You felt like she knew what was under your bandaged arm. You gripped it. 

"Is it hurting again?" Harry asked. You looked at him, shaking your head and let your arm go. 

"No, but I felt like one of the people at that trial knew about it." You said. Harry looked at Draco, who was sitting next to you. 

"Who?" Draco asked. You shrugged. 

"It doesn't matter. Let's just have a good year. This hasn't been bugging me as much, so it should be a good year." You said, holding up your left arm. You wanted to act like everything was OK, but you were scared of how the school, or rather the students, would treat you. You wanted to hide, but you still had to go to classes, so that wasn't going to work. 

"We hope it will be." Draco said, Pulling you close to him and held you. It made you feel save and you smiled, closing your eyes but that didn't help with the fear but you didn't fall asleep. You were almost scared to sleep now because some nights you saw your father putting the mark on your arm, others were the students shunning you. You haven't told Draco or Harry this, but you were sure they knew. They would always look at you with concern in their eyes.

"(y/n)?" You heard Harry ask. You opened your eyes, looking at him. He looked really worried. 

"Are...Are you going to be OK, you knew, at school?" Harry asked. you sat up a bit. 

"What do you mean?" You asked. He looked at Draco. 

"We didn't want to tell you but well...At night, you scream." Draco said. You looked down, but you weren't shocked. 

"I had a feeling I was. It was your eyes. Yeah, I will ask Madam Pomfrey or Snape for something." You said, looking back up. They both nodded and Harry moved, hugging you. Draco also hugged you and you hugged them back. No matter how much had happened, you were glad to have a friend like Harry and a boyfriend like Draco. 

After that, the train ride was smooth and fun. It was when you got off the train that you started to feel bad again. Students were staring at you, whispering around you and avoiding you. You kept your head down as Harry walked on your right and Draco on your left, holding your hand. You sighed. 

'How could this year get any worse?' You thought to yourself. You didn't look as Dumbledore started to speak, knowing it wasn't to impotent but the clearing of a throat that interrupted Dumbledore did make you look up. You then saw her as she stood, walking around her table and stood near Dumbledore. It was the lady that smiled at you during Harry's trail. 

"Thank you Dumbledore for that introduction." She said and looked around the room.

"Hello. As Dumbledore said, I will be going from classroom, to classroom, making sure that everything is to the standers of the ministry. I will have my own office, which is open at all hours..." She said as her eyes landed on you. You watched as her eyes bored into yours. 

"In case anyone needs anything." She said, looking away. you looked at Draco. 

"Who is that?" You whispered. Draco leaned in close to you. 

"Dolores Umbridge. She is here from the ministry." Draco whispered. You looked back at her and saw that she was smiling at you. You then felt pain from your mark. you gripped it, trying not to show that pain but you saw other students look at you. The pain stopped and you started to eat, wanting to get to your dorm fast. Once it was over, Harry and Draco walked with you to the Gryffindor tower. Once in, you ran to your dorm but saw that the other girls had moved their beds away from yours. You didn't care as you laid on your bed, hoping for some good dreams.
