My Professor

Chapter 25

Hermione hadn't long left and Bella was sat quietly in her class, when she heard loud conversations in the halls, and thousands of foot steps going by.
"What on earth is going on?" Bellatrix wondered as she arose from her seat.

Students gathered all around the crying professor Sybill Trelawney who had just been fired by Dolores Umbridge and told to move out. Hermione looked at the poor woman, and even though she wasn't very fond of Trelawney, she didn't like seeing her upset.
"What's happened?" Harry whispers as he stands next to her.
"Umbridge fired Trelawney and told her to leave." Hermione replies, just as the pink woman appears.
Sybil swallows, visibly shaking as the shorter woman walks towards her, a smirk tugging at her lips. Sybil swallows, picking up all of her courage to speak.

"Si-si-sixteen years I've lived and taught here. Hogwarts ....is my home. You......you can't do this" Trelawney stutters as tears fall down her face, she did try to stand up to the woman but she couldn't, she never was the strong one, even as a child she was the weak one who always counted on someone else to stand up for her, someone else being the two women who always came to defend her.

"Actually I can " Dolores smiles holding up a piece of paper.
Trelawney looked at the floor as more tears fell.
Minerva came to see what all the commotion was about, however as soon as she saw a crying Sybil her blood began to boil. Minerva quickly made her way to Trelawney's side pulling her into a hug. "Oh there, there" came her Scottish accent, as she tried to calm the woman down.

"Something you'd like to say dear?" Dolores tilted her head to the side smirking, as her eyes focused on the pair.
"Oh, there are several things I'd like to say" Minerva said annoyance clear in her voice, her attention drifting to Dolores for a moment before returning to the sobbing woman in her arms.
"Oh there, shh" Minerva pulled the sobbing professor closer, trying her best to comfort the girl.
Dolores laughed stepping closer to the pair,
"How pathetic. You both are." Dolores smirks raising her wand, and that was her mistake.
Bellatrix caught a glimpse of what was going on through the window and to say she was not happy was the understatement of the century.
No one hurts her girls and gets away with it.

She stormed through the hallway her robes billowing behind her, and who ever was left in the halls were instantly diving out of her way.
The ground began to shake causing slight panic in everyone then the doors flew open revealing a not so happy Bellatrix Black.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you." came a dangerously low growl. Everyone turned to see
The dark witch.

"Oh Bellatrix." Dolores smirks.
"Your just in time to say goodbye to, this." the shorter woman grinned evilly as she turned to face Minerva and Trelawney.
Bella's eyes turned a jet black as she walked towards Umbridge.
"You have no right to do this." she growls.
"Oh but I do, and before long I'll make sure this Scottish piece goes too!" Dolores smiles.
Minerva's eyes widen at that, not so much about the insult because frankly as far as she was concerned Dolores was full of shit so whatever she said simply went over Minerva's head, however she knew full well that Bellatrix wouldn't take to Dolores insulting her too kindly, therefore for Dolores' sake Minerva figures she'd better step in.
"What did you just say!" Bellatrix clenched her wand, it was one thing to make Sybil cry, but to insult Minerva too, this woman was asking for it.
"Bella, no" whispers Minerva, noticing Bellatrix's hand twitching.
"You heard me!" Umbridge smirks, standing up straighter in attempt to intimidate Bellatrix.

Bellatrix took a deep breath, Trying to control her anger, but when the toad laughed mockingly, she couldn't contain it.
"You think you're so special don't you! Well let me tell you something little Dolores, you're nothing but a vile little insect on the bottom of their shoe. You don't even come close to them, and as for Minerva, you don't even deserve to look at her, let alone speak to her." Bellatrix's voice was low, dripping with the hate she had towards the pink woman. Bellatrix wasn't a force to messed with, she was tricky, she'd play with your mind before crushing you mentally, A trick she learned throughout her life.
