The next morning went by as normal. The class was tending to their Dittanies. "So all you had to to is write lines?" George asked. "Yep, stop if you put it into the soil like that you'll hurt it. You have to be gentle" Danie took George Dittany and placed it into the soil carefully. "Don't you know Georgie likes it rough" Fred joked. Danie throw a pebble at him. "I don't want you two getting detention. Not from Umbridge" Danie said returning to her own Dittany. " You just said all you had to do was write lines.". " So what if we get detention" the twins said. Danie finished planting her Dittany. "Just don't get detention. And try and stay on her good side. She does work for the ministry, you getting on her good side could help your dad" "fair point" Fred said shrugging. George gave Danie a look of concern. "I'm fine" .
Each night for the rest of the week Danie and Harry went too Professor Umbridge office and write lines with the blood quill. And after each detention Danie would apply ointment and bandages onto Harry than herself. The scars were easy enough to hide at first but by Thursday they were noticable to anyone close enough to make out the lettering. It was Thrusday evening. Danie was trying to help the twins with transfiguration homework. "Focus. You need to see the colour clearly in your mind" Danie instructed. " This is hopeless". "Useless!". "And boring" the finished in unison. " Just look at-" Danie had accidentally reached her right arms across the table to point out a part of their text book. Incidentally pulling up the sleeve of her robe to reveal the back of her hand. She quickly pulled it away and hid it under the table. She used her left hand to point out the passage in the textbook." Just look at what Fimber Mcquin says in the book" she went on as if nothing had happened. "Danie what was that?" George asked. " What was what?" She asked casually. " What was on the back of your hand" Fred asked." Oh nothing " she responded nervously. "Why is your hand in bandages?" George asked impatiently. " It's nothing just forget about it" Danie said avoiding eye contact with them. The twins exchanged looks. Fred and George stood up. George linked arms with Danie on one said and Fred on her other. The practically dragged her up to their dorm. Not many people where in the common room so no one noticed. The twins sat Danie on the middle bed. " Show us your hand" the demanded. " It's not a big deal" she insisted. George grabbed her bandaged hand. Danie tried to pull her hand away but his grip on her wrist was too Strong. "George let go!" " No" he carefully unwrapped the bandages. The first few layers were clean but with every layer he unwrapped it got bloodier and bloodier. Until the bandages where completely off. 'I will not speak ' cut into her hand. It was still fresh and raw. Fred looked like he could kill someone. George looked just as angry but more sympathetic. "Who did this?!" Fred almost yelled. " Keep your voice down!" Danie whisper yelled at him. " It was Umbridge wasn't it" George said. Danie looked at her feet. " You told us that she had you write line's! This this is ..." Fred was pacing around the room. " She did make me write lines. ...,with a blood quill" Danie's voice went quite for the last part. George was kneeling infront of the bed. " A what?" Fred stopped pacing and kneeled beside George. " A blood quill. They were used to punish the most troublesome of students. They haven't used them in years. Not since the 1940s at least" Danie explained. " This has to be illegal!" Fred said looking at her hand. " They are supposed to be but she said and I quote ' despite times calls for desperate measures' which implies that she is aloud to use them in a school setting. " There was a silence in the room. " Why didn't you tell anyone?" George asked darkly. " I can't tell anyone." Danie said quietly. " You could have told us!" Fred snapped. " This is more than just detention Fred. This is the ministry showing off the power it has not just over Harry and I but the school" she looked up at them. " That's why you didn't want us getting detention " George said quietly. " The less people know the less power she has. And the teachers wouldn't be able to do anything anyway" no one knew what to say. Danie took the bandages and rewrapped them around her hand. "Just don't tell anyone ok" she left the boys dormitory and left for her own.

The last attention finally came, it was Friday evening exactly 5. Harry and Danie walked into Professor Umbridge office and got straight to work.

With every sentence that was written the cuts on her hand became deeper and deeper. Blood began to trickle from her cuts on to the parchman staining it a brilliant red. They were only their for about an hour and a half before they were excused from her office. Umbridge' was holding Harry's had taking a look at the cuts on his hand. "Yes, It hurts, doesn't it?" She said with a wicked smile. Danie felt a burning sensation in her scar. But just as soon as it was there it was gone. " Well, I think you two have gotten my point , you may go" Danie and Harry hurried out of the room. "Did you?". " Yeah". " You don't think she's?". " Umbridge is evil but there is no way she if working for him, now let me see your hand" Danie said softly. Summoning her medical supplies. Cleaning Harry's cuts, applying the ointment and bandaged it. She repeated the same thing for her own hand and with a flick of her wand the supplies was gone. "Mimbulus Mimbletonia" the fat lady's portrait swing open and they walked into the common room. Harry walked over to Ron and Danie walked over to the twins and Lee. " How was detention?" Lee asked. Danie shrugged. " Boring, what the butter bear for?" " Oh Ron got on the Quidditch team" Lee said. " Oh brilliant! Good for him" Danie looked over at Ron talking to Harry. " Let's just hope he doesn't make a bloody fool of himself" Fred smirked. " Be nice to your brother" she snakes his arm. " Oi Danie want a butterbeer?" Lee asked. " Lee you know just how to treat a lady. I'd love one thank you" Danie said with a dramatic flare. Lee handed her a bottle. Danie opened her butterbeer and was about to take a sip when she noticed a group of first years that had clearly just had a nose bleed. " Fred.... George". " Yes" they said innocently. " I thought I told you not to test your products on first years" she said coldly. " She's over there!" Fred pointed at a sleeping Hermione on an arm chair. Fred and George walked away to go talk to Ron and Harry. " I swear, those two" Danie took a sip of her butterbeer. She walked over to the first years. " Are you lot ok?" The shook their heads yes. " Make sure you drink plenty of orange juice and plenty of meat and leafy greens for breakfast ok". " Ok ma'am" they said. " When did you become a doctor?" Lee asked. " I was raised by a werewolf and my brother is Harry Potter" she said in a dull voice. " Point taken. " The twins walked back over and received a snack on the arm each. " What was that for ?" The said in unison. " For testing on innocent first years" Danie whisper yelled at them. Not wanting to wake Hermione. "Hey Danie you coming up to the dorms?" Angelina asked. Alicia was standing next to her. "Yeah, I think I'll turn in early tonight" Angelina and Alicia walked up the stairs to the grills dormitory. Danie went to follow. " Oi Danie" she turned around. " Do you want to come watch up practice tomorrow? I- we where thinking we could all go to hogsmeade after" George said. Fred and Lee elbowing eachother. " Sure, it sound fun" She smiled at them and walked up the stairs and into her shared dorm room with Angelina and Alicia. The girls were changing into their pajamas. Danie just changed into a light pink pajamas shirt and loose bottoms. She got into bed. Angelina and Alicia were staring at her. "What?" " Well" Angelina said. " Well what?" "Fred". " Oh right, right. He's not interested in anyone as far as I can tell. But if you asked him on a date he would probably say yes" Danie explained. Angelina smiled and fell back onto her bed. " I don't know why you like him. He has the emotional range of a wall...with jokes written all over it" She said opening a book. " Well why do you like George. He's the same. " Danie stopped dead. She stared at Angelina with shock. "Me like George. Are you mental? I would never be interested in someone who gets by life by pulling pranks and testing dangerous products on 11 year olds" Danie said Firmly, returning to her book. " If that's true why did you agree to go to hogsmeat with him." Alicia teased. " Because we are going as a group" " whatever you say Potter, whatever you say".
