Loony & Strangelove

Part Two

Later that day... 

As soon as (Y/n) stepped into his house's common room, his friends and classmates surrounded him as he hid his non-dominant hand under the sleeve of his robe. Everyone clamoured him, all asking the same question: what did she make you do? (Y/n) had to fib to everyone just to get them to shut up to give him some peace as he found a spot by the fireplace where his soulmate, Cho Chang, Padma Pavil, Terry and Michael were with him by the fire. 

"Alright, mate. Spill the beans. What really happened in there? Did she make you clean her office? Make you clean the windows? Eat Filch's sluggy food?" Michael asked nosily when Padma slapped his arm. "What?" 

"I told you: all I did was write lines: 'I must not tell lies'." (Y/n) sighed in frustration as everyone clearly didn't get the message to leave him be. 

"We've got twelve months before our O.W.L exams, guys. We should give (Y/n) some space. He's had a hard day," Cho suggested to everyone but Luna. 

With Cho's voice, she was able to get rid of the others and left Luna and (Y/n) in peace as Luna was desperate to know what pain Umbridge afflicted her boyfriend. He could see it in her eyes that it was hurting her the longer he held the information back. 

"I told a white lie, Luna. But I wasn't planning on keeping it back from you. Honestly." (Y/n) explained and showed her his non-dominant hand, causing her to get wound up and upset. 

"Have you told Dumbledore? He deserves to know about this! This is inhumane!" Luna argued, agitated by the slight cuts carved on his hand. 

(Y/n) mumbled unsurely about reporting the matter to Dumbledore, seeing as how folk were yet to know what a compromising position he was in. Umbridge was on the prowl, and until late that year, a revolution would be held. 

A new paper from the Daily Prophet released a new edition was released, portraying Dumbledore as daft or dangerous. Cornelius Fudge was afraid of Dumbledore as he managed to convince himself that the headmaster of Hogwarts was going to take him down, which led to Fudge ordering for Dumbledore's immediate arrest. 

Every weekend, (Y/n) was ordered to attend detention with Umbridge after he made her upset. Because of this, he couldn't spend time with Luna down at the lake which badly affected their schedule. Many students in both the fourth and fifth years were in outrage of what Umbridge taught in DATDA, which led to Hermione Granger coming up with the idea for Harry to lead a secret organisation to learn proper defence against magic. 

A/N: These few HP chapters are confusing 'cause it stars somewhere around early-mid year so it's really messing with me about people's ages and what year they're in, so if I make a mistake, very sorry, but I'm trying to make sure I get as much correct as possible.  

As Hogwarts entered its tenth month of the year, Umbridge had taken over as the new headmistress. The rules had changed. The wall outside the Great Hall contained a layer of Educational Decree's upon Umbridge's orders. For example: no spell check quills, no sweets from an unauthorised supplier which would lead to expulsion, no music played past curfew, no students riding brooms unless Quidditch practice, no Weasley jokes, no more non-educational games or toys, students banned from mentioning the Triwizard Tournament; proper dress code, owls to be mandatorily tagged, students punished for casting prohibited spells, restrictions on library and common room; and girls and boys weren't allowed to remain eight inches from each other - only to list less than half of the regulations. 

Once Harry Potter had finally agreed to teaching DATDA, had to only recruits, but also a place to teach. Thanks to Neville Longbottom, they could conduct magical training without Umbridge's eyes. During this time, Dumbledore's Army had become well trained under Harry's teachings.
