The following weeks were filled with Umbridge infiltrating the school. Rules and rules were made and hung on the wall for all students to see, stupid rules at that. Girls were not supposed to be within 6 feet of boys while at school, making it impossible for George and Astrid to be close to each other through the days. The girl spent all of her days with Sailor and Casey. Of course the young boy and girl would sneak off to the astronomy tower in the afternoons or early mornings but it was still miserable. Even one day the trio, that contained the twins and Astrid, were tossing a small spark around in the courtyard after school. This was a new invention by the twins and all the students were standing around, watching in awe at the magic. Of course Umbridge had to ruin the whole thing by putting out the spark midair. The twins stomped off in annoyance, Astrid trailing behind. Because of this day a new sign was nailed on the wall saying 'All Weasley products will be banned'.
A few days after this incident the whole school was making their way out of the halls and into the large courtyard, gathering around the scene in the middle. Astrid walked beside Casey and Sailor, spotting the twins and approaching them quickly. She squeezed between the two tall boys, standing in front of them to see the scene in front of her.
"What's going on?" The girl quickly questioned as George placed his hand on her shoulder, peering over her.
"I heard she's banning Trelawney from the grounds" Sailor said, now beside the girl.
"Surely she can't" Casey said quickly before turning her attention the footsteps approaching. Everyone looked to see Umbridge, a smirk playing on her face as she approached the timid Professor who was standing by all her luggage's.
"Sixteen years ive lived and taught here" Trelawney spoke as she approached Umbridge. "Hogwarts is my home. You can't do this."
Sadness welled up in Astrid as she saw the teacher begin to beg the fowl lady.
"Actually i can" the lady in pink spoke as she held up a slip of paper. Astrid swiftly pushed past the students in front of her, making her way to the sobbing Professor ahead. The lady immediately fell into the younger girls arms, sniffling as she cried. Astrid wrapped her arms around the Professor whom she'd always loved dearly. Sure she could be looney but she always meant well.
"Something you'd like to say dear?" Umbridge questioned as she looked to the younger girl comforting the Professor.
"Believe me there are several things I'd like to say" she spat towards the lady before her. "But I-"
Suddenly a hand was placed on her shoulder and she turned to see McGonagall. The older lady nodded to the girl motioning for her to go with the students. Astrid reluctantly released Trelawney, the woman now falling in the older professors arms as Astrid made her way back to her friends. She approached them and Casey and sailor nodded to her as she turned back to the women in front of her. Fred patted Astrid's back softly and George slipped his hand into hers, squeezing it in comfort. Suddenly the loud doors to the school caught everyone's attention, Dumbledore making his way towards the scene below.
