Always Book 2 (Severus Snape Love Story)

Chapter 9: Dumbledore's Anouncement

Rhiannon's POV:

"Rhiannon!" I heard someone shout. I opened my eyes with a start.

"What? What happened?" I asked, rubbing my eyes.

"Dumbledore wants to see you in his office." Pansy smiled.

"By the way you shouted I thought someone died." I stated. Pansy rolled her eyes and went down to the common room. I got in and out of the shower and dressed into my uniform. I quickly brushed my teeth and put my hair into a messy bun. Once I was satisfied I walked out and went towards Dumbledore's office. I greeted a few people in the hallway, including Luna who I haven't talked to in a while. Once I got to his office I said the password, which of course was licorice snap, and entered.

"Ah, Rhiannon!" Dumbledore smiled.

"Hello, Professor." I smiled back at him.

"I called you hear to tell you that since you technically should be a seventh year that after winter break you will be one." Dumbledore explained as I took a seat across from his desk.

"That would be great!" I clapped.

"I thought you might say that." Dumbledore stated, "I also wanted to ask you if you wanted to be a part of the Order?"

"You're serious?" I smiled, on the edge of my seat. He nodded, "I would love too." I stood up and jumped up and down. I couldnt be happier. I looked up at the clock on the wall and noticed I am late for DADA.

"Oh crap! I gotta go! See you later, Professor!" I shouted as I ran out of the door, bag in hand. I heard Dumbledore snicker as I ran down the hallway, passing a few straggler students, and skidded to a stop in front of the DADA classroom. The whole class turns to look at me as I come staggering in. I had this class with a bunch of 5th years because I honestly didnt learn squat last year and didnt pass this O.W.L. to go on to N.E.W.T. level classes.

"Sorry, professor...." I mumbled taking my seat, next to Draco. Umbridge smiles at me, toad-like.

"Hmmm, let's see five points from Slytherin for being late." Umbridge snickers. I heard some other Slytherin's groan. "Now as I was saying before Miss. Black interrupted with her antics, your Defense Against the Dark Arts education has been rather fragmented and disjointed in your past classes, hasn't it?" Umbridge pauses and looks around the room, "Know now that this is about to be rectified.I will be following a pre-approved Ministry-prepared, theory-centered Defense lesson plan."

"So we wont be learning how to defend ourselves against oh I don't know Voldemort?" I asked with a glare. Umbridge ignores me and waves her wand at the blackboard and words are written down on it.

"Copy this down." She demands with a smile. Hermione raises her hand as everyone opens their books and begins copying. I sit there with my book unopened, hands crossed over it staring at the bitch in pink. Umbridge ignore Hermione, who still has her hand in the air. However all the students are watching Hermione within the next few seconds.

"Yes?" Umbridge asks.

"I wanted to know something about your course aims." Hermione stated.

"Well, they should be perfectly self-evident." Umbridge answered.

"Yeah we aint learning squat." I hissed, Umbridge turned her head and glared at me.

"Detention and 10 points from Slytherin for speaking out of turn." Umbridge snarled.

"Fine by me." I said a little to sassy.
