The Döppelganger Witch

" As you all know ,this is O.W.L year for all fifth year students ".

Ella heard that little speech many times the first week of school .
The fifth year workload had become piles and piles of books and parchments that stood so high she felt like screaming everytime she had to pick up a book .

To top it all off ,they had a new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher that didn't even teach them anything worthwhile .

She was a woman that looked like a toad and wore pink clothes mostly . She is a teacher the Ministry of Magic sent when Dumbledore couldn't find a replacement for a man they'd all thought was Professor Moody , turning out that he was actually someone else who drank polyjuice potion for months to stay the fake Moody .

They found out that tidbit of information when they came back from that horrible experience in the cemetery . He'd tried to take Harry away from the Salvatore brothers . Because they believed him to be Moody they'd let Harry go with  him which was a great big mistake. Luckily Harry got saved by Dumbledore .

Delores Umbridge was a thorn in everyone's side because she like the Minister of Magic didn't believe her or Harry that Voldemort was back .

It was so bad that people even learnt that Ella was a Black and people began throwing wide berths around her as they walked . Lavender and Parvati even acted nasty towards her , telling her to leave Hogwarts and they even begged McGonagall to throw her out of their dorm .

Many people were like those two .One girl even spit in her soup three days after the school opened for the year .

The worst was Delores Umbridge who tried to find out if she knew where her father was .

It was awful . She felt like some criminal who were being questioned .

" Ugh, can't we get less homework for this week ?!", Ron groans throwing his Charms textbook down on the table where he, Hermione and Ella were doing their homework in the Gryffindor common room.

" Wait until before the O.W.L exams then you can complain ", Ella says  pulling her Potions textbook from her own high pile of textbooks.

Ron and Hermione each had one . Hermione's was higher than the other two's .

" Oh, Ella, don't start , anyway, I wonder how Harry is doing with his detention , that Umbridge is a real pain in the arse ,you know ".

Ella looks up from her textbook at the blue eyed redheaded boy . To her Umbridge was more than a pain in the arse.

" I hope she isn't too mean ", she hears Hermione says .

" Well, Hermione, you know it won't help saying that because she is mean ", Ella says then smiles when she sees Harry climbing through the entrance  into the room.

Her smile disappears when she sees the anger and frustration on his face and something else that looks suspiciously like pain.

" Hey , Harry!", Ron calls in greeting when Harry walks over to them .

" Hey ", he says his voice sounding a bit strange as he takes a seat beside Ella who takes his one hand because she'd seen something there .

He tries pulling his hand away ,but Ella had already seen the scar,in the form of written words,  on his hand . It read: I must not tell lies .

" Merlin, she's just evil", Ella whispers  angrily .

Hermione and Ron stares in shock at Harry's hand . They agreed in their minds with Ella . Umbridge is evil with a capital E .

" You've got to tell Dumbledore ", Hermione states .

" No!, " Harry snaps ," I'm not going to give her the satisfaction of saying that I'm a sympathy seeker or something like that ".
