Silent Love (Harry Potter Love Story)

Chapter 55

Hogwarts Headmaster, Professor Dumbledore stands to address the school

“I beg a few moments of your attention, as I have a few start of term announcements. Right off, our caretaker, the good Mr. Filch, has reminded me for what he says is the four hundred and sixty second time that he had an annually updated list of various banned items, usually introduced by our humour experts Fred and George Weasley,” said Dumbledore.

Fred and George stand and take a bow to cheering, laughter, and yells.

“Stupid,” murmured Hermione.

“... Which are posted in an extensive list on the door to Mr. Filch’s door,” said Dumbledore.

Harry grins at Fred and George

“Also, we have two staffing changes this year. Professor Grubby-Plank will be taking the post of Care of Magical Creatures post as Professor Hagrid is on.. extended leave,” said Dumbledore.

Harry, Ron, Hermione, and I exchange glance.

“Where did he go?” I whispered.            

“I don’t know,” said Harry.

“Additionally, we have Professor Umbridge, who has kindly agreed to fill the post of Defense Against the Dark Arts-,” said Dumbledore.

At this, the woman with a really pink outfit stands and clears her throat

“Hem, hem, Headmaster, if I could addres the school?” asked that woman.

Dumbledore looks taken aback. McGonagall glares at that woman. Dumbledore sits down and invites Umbridge forward.

“Thank you, Headmaster. Now, how are we all doing tonight? I thought I would just say a few words. I am here at the Ministry of Magic’s bequest, under Educational Decree twenty-two, which states that if th headmaster of hogwarts is unable to fill any teaching post the ministry shall select one for the position,” said Umbridge.

“I know she looks familiar, she’s one of the judge at my trial,” I said.

Then Umbridge keeps talking and talking and doesn’t realize that no one is interested to everything that she said. Well everyone, except Hermione.

The dinner already finished, finally. We go to the common room.

“How can you stand to hear everything that Professor Umbridge said?” I asked.

“Yeah, she’s very annoying. And how can you call her Professor?” Ron asked.

“She’s our teacher,” I said.

“How come now you and Ron that like to fight?” Hermione said.

“He’s annoying,” I said.

“And you realize that just now?” Hermione smirked. Ron glares at her.

“Wait, where’s Harry?” Ron asked. and after that we hear yelling at the common room.

“What?” Harry yelled.

“My mom didn’t want m to come back to Hogwarts...” said Seamus

“Why?” asked Harry

“Well because of you,” said Seamus

“What did I do?” asked Harry

“She, well, she figure’s you’re well.. you’re lying about You Know Who and Dumbledore’s a right nutter,” said Seamus.

“Where’d she get that from?” said Harry.

Seamus picks up an edition of the Daily Prophet and tosses it to Harry. But it landed on me. I picked it up.

“Read it,” said Harry.

“Harry..” I said.

“Just read it,” Harry yelled. I jumped a little

“Harry Potter, Boy Hero Uses Lies to Seek Attention, Hogwarts Headmaster Boys His Story,” I read it. “So she believes this stuff?” I asked

“Well... yeah..” said Seamus.

“But.. but you believe me, don’t you?” asked Harry.

Seamus looks away. Harry turns and stroms out of the common room.

“I’ll go look for him,” I said.

“Be careful,” said Hermione.

I walk around, go to the Black Lake, go to near the dark forest, Hagrid’s hut, but he’s not there.

“Harry, where are you?” I whsipered. And see Hedwig flying into Astronomy Towers.

Harry sits on the top of the Astronomy Tower, looking over the lake and the forbidden forest in the distance, Hedwig sits on the parafet next to Harry.

“No one believes me,Hedwig. No one..” said Harry.

He turns and lean against the stone parafet, then slides down to the ground, his back against the cold stone.

“I’m alone..” said Harry.

“So, what am i? A stone?” I laughed.

“Fanny, what are you doing?” Harry asked.

“I was looking for you, of course, you don’t think I will leave you alone after that argument with Seamus,” I said.

“Sorry, I yelled at you,” Harry said.

“That’s ok. I’m kinda used to your anger problems now,” I laughed.

“Sorry,” Harry said again.

“If you keep saying sorry once again, I will push you from this tower,” I said.

Harry laughed.

“See, it’s nice right to laugh than to feel angry all the time,” I said.

“Yeah, it’s nice,” Harry said. “Sometimes I just feel that I’m alone and no one believe me.”

“Hey, you think I don’t believe you after I walk into this astronomy tower that has so many stairs?” I asked

“You got a point,” Harry laughed.

“And there’s Hermione, Ron, Neville, Dumbledore. The Daily Prophet also make fun of Dumbledore, remember?” I asked

“Yeah, I guess. Thank you,” Harry said.

“He wants you to feel this you know,” I said.

“Who?” Harry asked.

“Voldemort,” I said. “He wants you to feel alone because it’s more easy to attack you if you feel weak.”

Harry smiled. “Thank you.”

“If you say thank you once again, I will push you this time,” I said.

“Yes ma’am,” Harry smirked.

“Oh stop it Potter,” I said.

“C’mon just go back to the common room,” Harry said and we walk to the common room.
