SONGBIRD

Your Sociopathic and Narcasisstic

Rose's POV
------
The wound on my arm quickly healed, only a faint scar of a few pieces of the letters now remained which would soon disappear. It had been 3 weeks since the pink quill cut deep into my skin. Harry was right, Umbridge had became headmaster of Hogwarts making every single student apart from a few Slytherins feel sick to their stomachs. I've avoided defence against the dark arts for a full 3 weeks now, no one had bothered to check up on me or even give me detention but I knew I couldn't get away with it much longer. If anything I think Umbridge loved the fact I was missing her lessons, she thinks she won. She hasn't, not yet.

The owls were coming up soon so I spent most of my nights and free periods studying with Hermione in the library, anything to avoid Draco.

I was a coward that much was certain, I loved him I knew that, everyone knew that but he still was part of the inquisitorial squad, and was still doing favours for Umbridge and I just couldn't deal with that. He was avoiding me and I was avoiding him, at least it had made someone happy, Pansy had practically been glowing.

It was now Monday morning and I had defence against the dark arts which to everyone's surprise I would be attending this time. I wasn't a push over so why was I letting Umbridge turn me into one? I headed to class with Neville and Hermonie as we all chatted about the owls, Hermione told us in heavy detail about her 10 step revision plan she had developed. Of course she had. As we walked into the classroom Hermione went to take her usual seat where as I went to sit next to Neville.

"Miss Nicholls how good of you to join us" Umbridge smiled "Could you swap seats please?" She asked
"Why? I always sit here" I pointed out.
"Not today you don't"
"Again why?"
"You'll sit with Draco today" She giggled
"Again why" I repeat
"Pansy swap with Rose please, now." She said sternly.
"But prof-" Pansy began
"Now!" Umbridge raised her voice, still keeping her smile upright.

I walked over to my new seat as Pansy 'accidentally' hit my shoulder as she walked past me.
"Subtle" I mutter.
I took my seat next to Draco as I felt his body stiffen up almost instantly, Umbridge was really going out of her way to make me uncomfortable.

"Flick your textbooks to page 553, you will all be working in partners today to complete your worksheets".
Draco turned our shared book to the right page as he studied the page and the questions without a word.

"Miss Nicholls speak to Mr Malfoy will you" She giggled "it's partners remember"
"Yes I am aware"
"Don't give me attitude back please" She smiled
"I wasn't but...okay" I smiled.

"Your going to get in trouble" Draco whispered
"Good" I replied.

"Miss Nicholls stop speaking or I will have you in detention, we wouldn't want you to be disrespecting anyone's memory now would we?".

Right that's it.

"What an absolute bitch"
"Miss Nicholls! How dare you!"
"I'm only telling the facts Professor you are a sociopathic and narcissistic bitch who clearly thrives of enduring pain on children...and I mean what's this obsession with pink because honestly it really isn't your colour".
"I think purple would be more fitting" Harry chimed in
"Yes Harry your so right! Maybe then you can get someone to look at you twice and not reply solely on the moving cat plates in your office, there's a crazy cat lady and well then there's that...." I laugh.

Silence

"Is this why your so mad all the time, are you not getting any Professor? Aw bless your little heart" I smirk
"DETENTION MISS NICHOLLS"
"You really wanna spend an hour with me?"
"Maybe your outbursts are the reason Mr Malfoy here would rather join the inquisitorial squad then be in your company, can't say I blame him"
"Nice try" I whisper.
