"I'm not you Stefan."
Nobodies POV
There is a huge crowd of students standing at the top of the stairs leading down into the entry hall.
There is another unearthly wail.
Damon pushes his way through the crowd until he can see. He had just arrived back at Hogwarts.
Trelawney stands at the bottom of the stairs, looking crazed and turning in circles, her wand out and clutched in her hand.
"You cannot sack me!" Trelaweny yells "I can do whatever I wish!" Umbridge says "This is my home!" Trelawney yells
Umbridge is grinning evilly. "Not anymore." Umbridge says
She points at the door with a stubby finger. "Now remove yourself from this castle!" Umbridge yells
"She will not be leaving." Dumbledore says
Behind Umbridge, the crowd parts slowly, and Dumbledore moves down the steps.
"I have the authority, Headmaster!" Umbridge yells
"Oh, I agree with you, Professor Umbridge. You do have the power to dismiss my teachers. However..." Dumbledore says
He looks at Trelawney, who stands alone in the entry hall, smiling at Dumbledore through her tears.
"...You cannot send them from this castle. That is still my decision. Professor Trelawney will remain here." Dumbledore says
Umbridge turns to him, furious. "And what of her quarters when I appoint a new teacher." Umbridge ask
"Happily, that will not be necessary. I have found a successor for good Professor Trelawney already. As you know..." Dumbledore says
Umbridge is looking mutinous.
"...the Ministry can only appoint new teachers if I cannot find one. I think you will find him suitable enough." Dumbledore says
The great oaken doors leading to the grounds swing open, revealing an ebony-skinned centaur. It is Firenze, who saved Harry in his first year. "This is Firenze." Dumbledore says
Umbridge is thunderstruck.
....
Harry, Ron, and Hermione are huddled around a table.
"So you're saying this weapon You- Know-Who's after is in the Department of Mysteries?" Ron ask
"It's got to be." Harry says
"That's got to be what Surgis Podmore was doing in the Ministry when he was arrested." Hermione says
"Probably. Mr. Weasley was probably there when he was attacked, too. That must be what the Order's guarding!" Harry ask
"But why the Department of Mysteries?" Ron ask
"It makes perfect sense, Ron. It's got to be something the Ministry's been developing. Something top secret." Hermione says
Harry nods in agreement. Hermione picks up a copy of the Daily Prophet grimly.
"Look at this. There's been a mass escape from Azkaban." Hermione says "Bloody hell!" Ron yells
Harry stares at the front page picture of ten witches and wizards. "They're all Death Eaters!" Harry yells
Hermione nods fearfully. "Yes." Hermione says
Harry grits his teeth. "Voldemort." Harry says
....
Damon was walking down the hall when he hears someone call his name. Damon turns and he finds Fred and George run towards him.
Damon swallows harshly. Here goes nothing, he's going to call it off, all of it.
"Where the hell have you been Malfoy." Fred ask "back at the manor, I had business." Damon says
"For a whole month!" George ask
Damon knew his automatic reaction would've been to tease him, but he stops himself.
"Yeah, for a whole month....Fred...George, we need to talk." Damon says "what is it." Fred ask
"Let's go speak in private. The hall way isn't the right settling." Damon says "just tell us." Fred says
Damon feels his heart speed up. "I want out of the bet." Damon ask
The twins looked shocked. "What." George ask "I want out of this bet." Damon repeats
"What! No, you can't just call off the bet. What brought this on." Fred ask
Damon couldn't tell them it was because of his engagement or that he's in love with them.
"I can't explain it, I'm just calling off the bet. It's off guys. I'll give you your freaking two thousand galleons. But I'm done with this stupid bet."
Damon says
Damon walks away, leaving the twins shocked and hurt. Damon had completely brushed them off.
....
Later.
Damon had a girl pressed up against the wall, kissing down her neck. The girl moans, grinding herself against him.
Damon picks up his head when he hears someone behind him.
It was Stefan, he was leant against the door way, his arms crossed. "That's just creepy." Damon says
"What the hell Damon." Stefan says
Damon rolls his eyes and he turns to the bleeding girl, he stares into her eyes. "Leave, get cleaned up and forget this ever happened." Damon compels
The girl walks off in a daze, clutching at her bloody neck.
"Since when have you feed on people in the school." Stefan ask "since I joined the Dark Lord." Damon snarks
"Damon you can't be doing this." Stefan says "who the hell cares, I'm not killing any of the students." Damon says
"Why are you like this!" Stefan yells
"Because my own family bloody screwed me over!" Damon yells back
"You can't do this anymore, Damon. Not in this school. Not around me." Stefan says
"Why not? It's nothing I haven't done before. Why is it suddenly so important for you to keep me in check?" Damon ask
"Because I don't want you to be what other people think that you are." Stefan says
"What? A monster? Sorry to disappoint you, Stefan, but last time I checked, I was still a vampire!" Damon yells
"I guess I wish that you didn't have to act like one!" Stefan yells
"I am not you Stefan. How about you stop trying to turn me into you?" Damon growls
He leaves.
