Moonlight- Fred Weasely x original character (Discontinued)

𝐓𝐇𝐑𝐄𝐄- 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐨𝐫𝐲?

September 20th, 1995

"Okay class, now turn your page to 378", Professor Sinistra said. All the 6th years turned to the mentioned page in the book. Astronomy wasn't an obligatory class for the 7th years at Hogwarts, but Fred always enjoyed learning about stars, and so did his brother George. 

"Now today, we are going to learn about star constellations. We will start by learning about the Aquila constellation", Sinistra started the lesson.

"Aquila? isn't that Phoenix's first name?", George whispered to Fred's ear. Fred nodded at him and they continued listening to the teacher. Fred had no idea Aquila was named after a constellation, neither did George.

"First we are going to learn about the meaning and myths. Muggles believe that the myth comes from something called Greek Mythology. The story is, Aquila is identified as the eagle that carried Zeus' thunderbolts. Zeus is the god of thunder in Greek Mythology.  This makes complete sense because Aquila means 'the eagle' in Latin. Eagles usually represent Inspiration, victory, pride, and royalty.", Professor Sinistra taught. Fred took notes on the subject, which isn't much like him at all. He felt like he needed to remember this for some reason, he didn't know why though. After the class, Fred and George both left to their common room. As they headed towards their common room, they saw a pale brown-haired girl walking the halls. The girl did not have the Gryffindor robes, they were green. Fred and George looked at each other and agreed to follow her. The girl sped up and started to speed walk through the corridors. She looked right and left towards the windows. Then... she stopped. Fred and George quickly hid behind a wall. The girl turned her head and the boys noticed that it was Aquila Phoenix who left their common room. What is she doing? Why is she in such a hurry?  Questions like those surrounded Fred and George's head. Aquila soon turned around and continued to walk towards Professor Umbridge's office. Fred signaled to George that they should keep following her, so they put their ear on the closed office door.

"Good Evening Professor", Aquila said as she entered the vintage pink office. The office was surrounded by plates with pictures of cats on them and you could hear subtle cat noises as well. Professor Umbridge greeted Aquila and let out her high pitched chuckle. The lady in pink sat down on her office chair and put her hands in front of her on her desk. 

"Please, take a seat", Professor Umbridge insisted. Aquila took a seat in the pink chair in front of Professor Umbridge. There was an awkward silence between them as they stared into each other's eyes. Aquila left out a nervous chuckle as she began to talk. 

"Um, I wanted to talk to you about your Defense Against The Dark Arts classes. I've noticed that we haven't really been doing any magic, we've only been reading from textbooks. We haven't even practiced the things on the tex-"

"We will only be doing the ministry of magic approved Defense Against The Dark Arts courses. We will learn defense in a risk-free way.", Professor Umbridge interrupted Aquila. 

"But professor, how are we supposed to defend ourselves from the dark arts in a risk-free way? The defense is never risk-free.", Aquila questioned. Professor Umbridge let out a sigh in annoyance. 

"The ministry has said that students should be learning theoretical knowledge, which will help you with your exams, which is what school is all about."

"How will theory prepare us for what's out there? it sounds like a complete rubbish idea to me.", Aquila responded. A frown shaped on Dolores's face and her fists closed. 

"Do not call the Ministry's ways of doing things rubbish. What could possibly be out there to attack children like yourselves?", Dolores questioned. 

"I don't know, how about Voldemort?", Aquila said with an obvious tone. Umbridge's face grew in shock. The lady in pink stayed very quiet for a few seconds. Then she realized, that she had this exact conversation with Harry Potter. She let out a bright sarcastic smile and closed her eyes as she took a deep breath. 

"Now let me be very clear. You and your classmates have been told that a certain dark wizard, is at large once again. That. Is. A. Lie.", Umbridge finished explaining. Anger grew on Aquila's face and body. She felt pressure on her chest, and she felt her heartbeat speeding up. 

"It's not a lie, Potter saw Voldemort himself!", Aquila said as she hit Professor Umbridge's desk. Professor Umbridge told Aquila that she will be receiving detention tomorrow. Aquila stood up from the chair and harshly pushed it towards the desk. She looked at Umbridge one last time, rolled her eyes at her, and stormed out of the pink office slamming the door shut. She then ran towards the Slytherin common rooms and up to her dorm.

Hey Guys! Thank you for reading chapter three of 'Moonlight'. I'll be going on vacation to the beach for about 4 days, so IDK when I will post next. But there will be new chapters by next week, that's for sure. Please vote and comment, it would mean the world to me.
