After dinner Harry was staring at the lady from his trial and didn't look away from her when Dumbledore started the speech. Hermionie noticed that Harry wasn't looking away from her and he had a confused look on his face.

"Harry what is it?" Hermionie asked and Ron turned to face them.

"That's the Lady that was at my trial" Harry said glaring at Umbridge "She gave off weird vibes at the trail,and plus she voted against me".

Then all of a sudden a tiny cough like sound interrupted Dumbledore half way through his speech,then she got up and walked around the table at the front.

Harry and Hermionie were still talking when Ron interrupted them "Hey guys look" he pointed to Umbridge.

Harry looked up at the toad faced lady "Thank you,Headmaster,For the kind words of welcome.  And how lovely to see all your bright faces smiling up at me" Harry looked around and no one was smiling "I'm sure we're all going to be very good friends".

"That's likely" Fred and George.

"The Ministry of magic has always considered the education of young witches and wizards of vital importance. Although each Headmaster has brought something new to this historic school..." she nods at Dumbledore progress for the sake of progress must be discouraged. Let us preserve what can be preserved,perfect what can be perfected and prune practices that must be prohibited".

There was little to know applause.

"Thank you Professor Umbrigde,that really was most illuminating," Dumbledore said, turning back to his podium.

"Illuminating,that's a load of Waffle!" Ron said.

"There was some important stuff hidden in that waffle" Hermione said matter of factly.

"Was there?" said Ron.

"Oh I don't know, maybe the part about "Progress for progress's sake must be discouraged"? "Or how about "Pruning whatever we find practices that ought to be prohibited" Said Hermione giving Ron an ugly look.

"Well what does that mean?" Ginny asked.

"I'll tell you what it means,it means that the ministry is interfering at Hogwarts" she said, getting up to lead the first years to their dorms.

Everyone was crowding towards the great hall doors and Hermione and Ron had to leave with the first years so he was alone. As he tried to get quickly up to the front so he could have some peace everyone kept staring and whispering about him.

What did he honestly expect was going to happen, a kid just comes back with a dead body ranting about Voldemort and a graveyard of death eaters. I mean he really wouldn't know what to believe anymore either because of the daily prophet calling him a liar. But at least some people were on his side.

And of course when they were getting ready for bed another person didn't believe him. Harry was getting fed up at this point why did everyone have to read the fucking prophet. As he got in bed he thought they'll know we're right in the end. But how many more attacks like Seamus' would he have to endure before that time came.

Harry found himself walking through the dark corridors of the ministry again. He didn't know why he was there or what he was doing but something kept drawing him to a door. He remembers the door from the Ministry when he saw Fudge and Luicias talking in front of it. He reached the door as he was reaching out to grab the handle he woke up in a sweat and his scar was seering in pain. 

He looked around the room and graded his glasses from the nightstand,put them one saw Ron looking at him with concern.

"You alright mate" Ron said a little worried.
