It took everything in her to not explode, Oliver and Liam have been keeping an eye on her since they walked into class. They were now in there last class of the day Potions, (Y/N), Lee, Oliver and Liam had this class with Eliza and unfortunately Harvey, (Y/N) was sitting next Liam as Snape was talking about some potion. Ever since she was told she couldn't believe she actually a murder.
"Anyone want to tell me what's the name of the potion?" Snape asked the class. Many students were raising their hands but his eyes landed on (Y/N) who was just staring at her caldron. "Ms.Black."
(Y/N) was still dazed off and wasn't listing when Snape called her, many were now just looking at her. Harvey looked at her and saw how she didn't seem so much like herself, he quickly glanced at Oliver who was sitting behind who was wearing a guilty look. Liam cleared his throat and nudge her side making her look at him and raise and eyebrow he just nodded to the front of the class and noticed everyone looking at her.
"Umm, what--what the question again." (Y/N) asked, Snape sighed and walked towards her and Liam's desk as he stood in front of them.
"I expected someone who received an Outstanding in my class will play more attention but I guess since you think dozing off is acceptable tell me, what ingredients are contained in the Draught of Living Death?." Snape asked in a mono tone. (Y/N) almost let out a laugh, 'great death, it's not like that word couldn't be thrown at her anymore.'
"Uhh, Moondew, Flower head, a sloth brain, a sopophorous bean, Valerian root, infusion of wormwood and Powdered root of asphodel" (Y/N) answered with a small smile.
"5 points from Gryffindor for wasting my time, next time Ms.Black I suggest you pay attention in my classroom." Snape snarled as he walked away. "I want you all to write an explanation on why The Draught of Living Death and Potion for Dreamless sleep are consider so different. Class dismissed."
(Y/N) started to pack her things away, Liam, Oliver gave Eliza and Lee a look as they understood and walked out of class without them. When she was done packing she walked out first with the boys behind her.
"It was good that you already knew the ingredients" Liam commented.
"Liam's right it couldn't been worse" Oliver said.
"He still took five points away, even if I did know the ingredients it's not like he cared" (Y/N) shrugged as she started to take her bandages off her hand.
"What happened to your hand?" Liam asked. (Y/N) just showed him her other hand as he rolled his eyes and grabbed her left and turned it over making them all stop walking. "Is that what she did for detention, she's torturing you."
"Are you kidding me? and both you and Harry decided not to say anything about it." Oliver said grabbing her hand and looking at the scar but she quickly pulled it away and continued walking.
"It's nothing it's all better, we don't need to cause a scene." (Y/N) said as she ran her fingers through her hair.
"Don't you want to go tell Dumbledore!" Liam said. (Y/N) glanced at him and shook her head. "Why not? He has to know I mean he is the Headmaster, he could talk to her."
"Dumbledore doesn't want me to talk to him." Oliver and Liam gave her questioning looks, "When we were at Grimmauld he sorta ignored me, no, he completely ignored me before we had to go for our interview a day earlier he came over and he stayed busy by just chatting with Molly and Arthur."
"I tried to talk to him about what I could do but everytime it will be, 'I have to go' or 'Now is not a good time' so i'm not wasting my time to go to him now." (Y/N) explained as they made their way to the Great Hall and sat at the Gryffindor table. Liam across from the twins.
"And about what we said earlier, you have to understand it was an accident. It wasn't really your fault." Oliver said. (Y/N) just nodded.
"It's true, look we both know your blaming yourself inside that head of yours. You were just a kid and you still didn't know how to control it or what they could do." Liam took ahold of her hand and gave it a light squeeze before pulling away.
"It's not that, it's--it's the fact that everyone was right. I'm a murder and been so headstrong on telling everyone i'm not, but I still killed someone or two." (Y/N) sighed.
"Your not a murder a murder is someone who doesn't feel bad for killing someone like Peter and Voldemort but you, you didn't kill them because you wanted to or didn't care who they were it was all because you trusted the wrong person." Oliver said as he rubbed her back.
"And it's okay, we all mistakes is natural and no one did blame you. Narcissa and Lucius always blamed Harvey for what happened they don't think you're a murder either, even if you don't like Lucius he always wanted to protect you from Harvey." Liam said.
"Hermione just leave it alone!" Harry snapped as he took a seat next to (Y/N). They all turned to look at them, Hermione sitting across from Harry.
"I'm just saying Harry. Don't take your anger off on me!" Hermione said in a dangerous tone.
"S--whatever." Harry huffed as he started to eat.
"(Y/N), Can I look at your hand?" Hermione asked sticking out her own.
"Uhh, I don't know why you want to look at my hand for" (Y/N) said as she showed Hermione her palms. Hermione huffed and grabbed her right and turned it around and then carefully grabbed her left and turned it around.
"You two have to report this!" Hermione exclaimed. (Y/N) pulled her nad back and quickly shook her head. "No wonder you three are cousin always want to take care things yourselves." Hermione looked at the twins then Harry.
"Where's George and Fred?" Liam asked noticing everyone already in the Great Hall.
"Oh they're at the Quidditch field with--OH FUCK!" (Y/N) quickly stood up with Harry following her. She took one more sip of her water and grabbed her bag. "We'll see you at the common room--come on Harry--Leave the apple!."
"But--" Harry didn't get to finish as she quickly pulled him by the arm and ran out the Hall to the Quidditch field.
!~~~~~~!
"Alright now that mostly everyone is here--Fred, George do you have any idea where (Y/N) could be or Harry." Angelina sighed as she walked out the captains office.
"Nope" George said.
"We don't have that much classes with her this year" Fred said.
"Harry on the other hand, we definitely don't know." George shrugged.
"Okay then, but we have people here trying out for Keeper don't be to easy on them. I want someone who's good, do you lot understand?." Everyone one in the locker room nodded as they walked out.
(Y/N) and Harry were just making there way to the Quidditch pitch and stopped right in front of Angelina trying to catch their breath. Angelina was about to talk but the cousins both held up a finger to stop her, Harry was the first to catch his breath as (Y/N) took out some water and started to drink.
"We're sorry, forgot about Quidditch for a second." (Y/N) said.
"It's fine at least you still made it. Go get dressed and hurry back out." Angelina said they both nodded and walked to the changing rooms and grabbed their brooms. Once they walked out they saw who was trying it, one of them was Ron Weasley.
"Can you believe it ickle ronniekins is trying out for keeper." George smiled.
"Never told us, guess he wanted it to be a surprise." Fred grin as he put and arm around (Y/N)'s shoulder.
"I believe Ron's going to do great, so don't mock him." (Y/N) said as she looked at the twins.
"I've seen Ron practice, he's brilliant." Harry told them.
"Then he'll get the spot no problem." Fred smiled.
"Ron you first. I think we need our star chaser to give you all a challenge first, (Y/N)!" Angelina turned around and looked at (Y/N) who nodded.
"Well, if Ron has to defend hoops against you then he's done for." George said. (Y/N) gave him a look as she mounted her broom and Ron mounted his broom and went over to the hoops, Katie threw the Quaffle at (Y/N) and she caught it.
"Ready Ron." (Y/N) called, Ron hesitated for a second and nodded. (Y/N) gave him a reassuring smile as Alicia mounted her broom and they passed one another the Quaffle until Alicia finally passed it to (Y/N), she flew straight for the hoops and threw it, Ron wasn't able to block it making (Y/N) sigh. "Don't worry it was only one!."
After a while all the people that attended for tryouts went, most of them were terrible and some did fine. The Gryffindor Quidditch team went back to the locker room and discussed for a few seconds before finally agreeing to one person, despite him not blocking all of them he did do block most of them. (Y/N) even agreed to train him over the week to get him in a better place than he is now, Angelina agreed making (Y/N) extremely happy.
"We made a decision the new keeper will be.....Ron Weasley!" Angelina said with a smile. Ron was surprised he got picked and was lost for words.
"I still can't believe we let him be kepper." Fred said as he crossed his arms and looking at Ron running over to Harry.
"I still can't believe you agreed to train him for the week."George looked at (Y/N) shaking his head.
"I mean, he just need a little bit more training but overall he is talented." (Y/N) smiled.
Everyone soon want back to the changing rooms and were heading back to the common room as the twins, (Y/N) and Angelina were walking back to the common room someone stopped in front them.
"We saw who you picked for Kepper Johnson, Got to say doesn't look so good!" Montague laughed. "We'll definitely be winning the Quidditch cup this year, excuse me."
"And we heard Black will be training him this week, but that won't be possible" Adrian glared at (Y/N) as they both walked passed one another making the friends turn around to look at them.
"What are you talking about?" Angelina glared. The Slytherin shared a look as they looked behind them, (Y/N) furrowed her eyebrows and as she was about to turn around someone walked around them so he can face them.
"Meet the new beater, well half of the new beater." Adrian laughed as the twins, Angelina and (Y/N) looked at Harvey.
"Aren't Oliver and Liam the beater" Fred injected as he looked at Harvey up and down.
"They quit the team, didn't like how we were playing. I mean they were amazing but with a little training Riddle here is going to be better."
"Good luck with that, Come on I had enough time with snakes already." (Y/N) snarled as she turned around and started walking back to the common room.
"I didn't know Oli and Liam quit Quidditch" Angelina said as George said the password.
"Me neither" (Y/N) shrugged.
"I can't believe I did it Harry, i'm Keeper" Ron yelled excitedly making (Y/N) smile. (Y/N) and Fred sat on the couch as George went over to Lee.
"Is it okay if I tell you that I hate Harvey" Fred said as he placed his hand on her thigh.
"I hate him as well, so I won't mind even if you hex him or prank him." (Y/N) smield, "How's everything going with the products."
"Great! Amazing really, we've been selling some skiving snackboxes to some students. I can't wait until everything is finally done so we can have our business running." Fred smiled brightly.
"You're so cute when talk about your joke products, the way your eyes just brighten up and the smile" (Y/N) grin making Fred blush lightly as he hid his face on her neck and wrapped his arms around her.
"I'm tired, want to sleep in my dorm or should we go to yours." Fred mumbled against her neck, his breath hitting her skin.
"Let's go to mine." (Y/N) stood up and grabbed Fred's hand walking to the girl dormitories.
"REMEMBER! ALWAYS USE PROTECTION!" Lee yelled after them making them bush and just walk upstairs.
"Shut up Lee!" (Y/N) yelled back. Once they made it to her dorm, they started to change into their pajamas but Fred having to leave to get his. (Y/N) was already done changing and was wearing a oversized shirt and some shorts, she was looking for something when she heard a hissing noise it sounded like it was inside her head.
'(Y/N) Black, has to lead me to this prophecy Wormtail.Her and the Potter boy along with her brother' (Y/N) inhaled and exhaled as she closed her eyes and moved her head around
"Darling are you alright?" Fred asked as he came behind her and gave her a hug from behind.
"Yeah, just a little tired that's all. Let's get in bed." (Y/N) said as she turned around and smiled at him before getting on the bed and under the covers, Fred doing the same as she placed her head on his chest hearing his heartbeat and wrapping an arm around his torso he reached out and turned off the lamp lights before kissing the top of her head and whispering something.
"What did you say?" Fred smiled and shook his head. "Nothing, I was just saying good night." (Y/N) smiled and looked up as he looked down at her and placed his forehead on hers looking into her eyes and placing his hand on her hip before going under her shirt and placing his hand on her warm skin. His thumb going back and forth as he squeezed her hip once in awhile.
She moved her head a bit and placed a soft sweet kiss on his lips, both of them smiling into it. Her hand moved and was now on his hair, the kiss deepen and now she was straddling him. Fred's hands were now under her shirt placed on her lower back, she pulled away and just looked into his brown eyes and felt safe like she was home. Fred looked at her and felt the same way he has for the past five years, (Y/N) was the one person he knew was going to love forever.
"I love you" Before he could stop himself he said said the three words he wasn't sure she was ready to hear yet. Fred wanted to walk way and try to start over, he wanted to believe those words didn't not come out of his mouth.
"I love you too Freddie." (Y/N) whispered, Fred looked at her and broke into a big smile, she meant every word she said. (Y/N) Black was completely in love with Fred Weasley.
!~~~~~~!
The twins, Lee and (Y/N) were all sitting in the Great Hall eating breakfast, soon the Golden trio, Liam, Oliver and Eliza join them. Ron was telling Oliver and Liam about him becoming the new Gryffindor keeper and they couldn't be more proud of him.
"Hey, listen to this." Harry said to the both twins, Lee and Eliza. They all turned around to look at him as Hermione started to read out loud.
MINISTRY SEEKS EDUCATIONAL REFORM DOLORES UMBRIDGE APPOINTED FIRST EVER HIGH INQUISITOR
"High--"
"Shush listen"
"In surprise move last night the Ministry of Magic passed new legislation giving itself an unprecedented level of control at Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry."
"The Minister has been growing uneasy about the goings-on at Hogwarts for some time," said Junior Assistant to the Minister, Percy Weasley. 'He is now responding to concerns, voiced by anxious parents, who feel the school may be moving in a direction the do not approve of.'"
"This is not the first time in recent weeks that the Minister, Cornelius Fudge, has used new laws to effect improvements at the wizarding school. As recently as 30th August, Educational Decree Number Twenty-two was passed, to ensure that, in the even of the current Headmaster being unable to provide a candidate for a teaching post, the Ministry should select an appropriate person."
"That's how Dolores Umbridge came to be appointed to the teaching staff at Hogwarts," Said Weasley last night. "Dumbledore couldn't find anyone so the Mister put in Umbridge, and of course, she's been an immediate success--"
"She's been a WHAT?" Harry said loudly.
"Wait, there's more." Hermione said grimly.
"--an immediate success, totally revolutionising the teaching of Defence Against The Dark Arts and providing the Minister with on-the-ground feedback about what's really happening at Hogwarts."
"It is this last function that the Ministry has now formalised with the passing of Educational Decree Number Twenty-three, which creates the new position of Hogwarts High Inquisitor."
"This is and exciting new phase in the Minister's plan to get to grips with what some are calling the falling standards at Hogwarts," said weasley.
"The Inquisitor will have power to inspect her fellow educators and make sure that they are coming up to scratch. Professor Umbridge has been offered this position in addition to her own teaching post and we are delighted to say that she has accepted."
"The Ministry's new moves have received enthusiastic support from parents of student at Hogwarts. 'I feel much easier in my mind now that I know Dumbledore is being subjected to fair and objective evaluation,' said Mr. Lucius Malfoy, 41, speaking from his wiltshire mansion last night. 'Many of us with our children's best interest at heart have been concerned about some of Dumbledore's eccentric decisions in the last few years and are glad to know that the Ministry is keeping an eye on the situation.'"
"Among those eccentric decisions are undoubtedly the controversial staff appointments previously described in this newspaper, which have included the employment of werewolf Remus Lupin, half-giant Rebus Hagrid and delusional ex-Auror, Mad-Eye Moody. Rumours abound, of course that Albus Dumbledore, once supreme Mugwump of the International Confederations of Wizards and Chief Warlock of the Wizengamot, is no longer up to the task of managing the prestigious school of Hogwarts."
" 'I think the appointment of the Inquisitor is a first step towards ensuring that Hogwarts has a Headmaster in whom we can all repose our confidence." said a Ministry insider last night.
"Wizengamot Elders Griselda Marchbanks and Tiberius Ogden have resigned in protest at the introduction of the post of Inquisitor to Hogwarts.Hogwarts is a school, not an outpost of Cornelius Fudge's office.'" Said Madam Marchbanks. 'This is a further, disgusting attempt to discredit Albus Dumbledore.' (For a full account of Madam Marchbanks alleged links to subversive goblin groups, turn to page seventeen.)
After awhile Mason came towards them with a bandage hand and looking furious."I hate that woman, gave me a detention because I told her I already read the whole book and that it was filed with boring rubbish." Mason huffed as he took a bite of toast.
"Don't worry about it." (Y/N) smiled making everyone look at her.
"What did you do?" Hermione narrowed her eyes on her.
"Since I have been doing a lot of things lately it took me some time to welcome the new professor. So that's what I did, Let's just say I gave her a very loving welcoming just like Dumbledore said in the begging of the year." (Y/N) smirked.
"Is that why you took so long to come here." Fred said as she nodded.
"How will we know--" Harry was cut off my a horrific scream making everyone in the Great Hall snap their heads to the doors.
"Yay" (Y/N) clapped her hands as she stood up and followed everyone that was walking out the doors. Once they walked out they saw fireworks coming out from her classroom and Peeves coming out howling with laughter.
"Peeves helped you." Oliver smiled.
"Of course I helped her, who wouldn't help the daughter of two of the famous mischief makers." Peeves smiled.
"I will high five you but my hand will just go through you" (Y/N) said.
"I'll take it" Peeves smiled, (Y/N) shrugged and high five him. Umbridge soon came running out her classroom and she looked like to be covered in some type of substance and her clothes looked like it was itching her as she try to scratch it. Soon everyone was covering their noses at the smell.
Everyone burst into laughter even Hermione, Oliver fist bumped (Y/N). Umbridge looked furious that she was getting laughed at, Professors soon came running out the Great Hall and were wondering what caused all the commotion. McGonagall let out a gasp and put her hand over her mouth to cover the forming smile, Snape was just looking her with his mouth agape, Professor Flitwick was trying so hard not to jump up and down.
"WHO DID SUCH THING!" Umbridge screamed making everyone to stop laughing. No one answered and no one knew either well some had their suspicion but they rather not say.
"Dolores, I suggest you try to get clean up. I don't want you to be the reason why my hall stink up such a beautiful place." Dumbledore spoke up as he started to walk away.
"I--"
"Everyone start heading to class! Don't want to run late." McGonagall said making students to start and walk away as they laughed their way to class. The golden trio, Mason, Liam, Oliver, Lee, (Y/N), Fred and George walked passed her to get to class but (Y/N) stopped a few feet away from her as she turned around.
"Professor Umbridge I forgot to tell you something." (Y/N) smiled. Her friends stopped walking and turned around to see what she was going to do.
"What is it Ms.Black!" Umbridge said through gritted teeth, glaring at her.
"Welcome to Hogwarts, I hope this was a lovely welcoming!"
