Consequences [D.M]

CHAPTER 8

One evening, Y/n is on her own to finish her homework and do some revision. She did study hard because she wants to cover up everything she missed for the previous years and prepare herself for upcoming OWLs.

She's studying at a stone table by the courtyard. Hours by hours pass by, she feels the silent and look around. She takes a look on her watch and she's surprised that she didn't realized it's curfew already.

"Gosh, I'm in trouble if they found me." she mumbles and quickly collected her book. Then, she's being startled by sounds of heels are approaching. "Well, well. If it isn't the Laurel." She heard someone called as she quickly turns her head to the owner of the voice. It's Pansy Parkinson with Blaise Zabini. "What are you doing here after curfew?" The boy asked.

"I should ask the same to you too." Y/n says. "We're patrolling." He answered. "You're a prefect?" she asks, not remembering that they're the part of Inquisitorial Squad. "No." he shook his head. "Oh, I see. Bye, then." She walks pass by them. "Where do you think you're going?" Pansy questioned. "My common room." Y/n answered, look confused. "Tsk. Tsk. Poor, Laurel but you're going to Umbridge." Pansy smirks.

"Why am I going to her?" Y/n asks. "Detention of course." She answered. "What? If I'm going to detention because I'm still out here after curfew, you both should too." Y/n exclaims. "Didn't we told you that we're patrolling?" Pansy asks. "Yes, but you're not the prefect." Y/n replied. "We're so much more than that. We're the Inquisitorial Squad." Pansy grins as the two of them already grabbing the girl's hand.

"Hey, let me go! I'm not going to see Umbridge!" she yells and trying to let go but they're holding her tight. "Pug face! Zabini! Let me go!" she shouts but the two won't hear it. They bring her to Umbridge's office.

As they opened the door, revealing Umbridge is sitting there at the table. Y/n look around. 'Damn, she indeed a pink lover and cats.' She thought by herself as she's surrounded by many plates and there's cats in the plate. "Found this one out after curfew." Blaise told the woman who dressed in all pink.

"I didn't expect to see Miss Laurel's face for having a detention." She giggles. "Professor, I happened to didn't realize it that I'm staying out after curfew because I'm studying." Y/n explains, trying to get herself out from the detention.

"Tsk. Tsk. Detention is still detention, Miss Laurel. You need to learnt from your mistakes even it sounded so simple." She giggles. "But-" Y/n couldn't continue her sentence because Umbridge cut her off. "You two can go back. Miss Laurel will have detention now." The woman says as the two Slytherin walks out of the room.

"Have a seat, Y/n." She pointed a table nearby as Y/n sit there with heavy heart. "Now, we're going to write some line." Umbridge says as Y/n takes out a pen which she's way comfortable to use it instead of quill. "What is that, Y/n?" the woman pointed at the pen, Y/n was holding. "Pen? You said that I'm going to write some line. I'm using this to write." Y/n replied nonchalantly. "No, Miss Laurel. You won't be needing that. Use mine." She handed her a quill which Y/n hesitate to take it.

"I want you to write 'I must not stay out after curfew'." Umbridge says.

"How many times?" The girl questioned. "Let says for as long as it takes for the message to sink in." Umbridge answered. She rolled her eyes and begin writing meanwhile Umbridge is sitting by her table. After writing few lines, Y/n begin to feel something stingy on her left hand. She didn't care at first but then it begins to causing pain which she flinched and takes a look at her left hand.

Something begins to written on her skin which looks like scars, it started to engrave itself on her skin. She gritted her teeth, trying to hold the pain and she can't be teary in front of Umbridge.
