![]() ‘I’m heading to bed now,’ said Harry as he, Theodore, and Allison all rose. Knowing perfectly well that he would regret not finishing more of his homework tonight when the morning came, he finished his Charms work with the others than piled his books back into his bag. He thought of the long essay on Moonstones and the pain stabbed at him sharply. Harry agreed with that notion, he had started to notice that the ache in his right temple was getting worse. ‘No, I think you’re right, Theo,’ said Allison. If you need help with Potions you’ll have to wait until tomorrow.’ ‘As much as I’d love to write that paper right now,’ said Theodore, ‘I’m exhausted and the only homework due tomorrow is Charms, so I’m finishing that then going to bed. ‘Should we do Potions first?’ asked Allison. Harry kept his face averted from the enchanted wall, but could still sense the stares he was attracting. People were coming back from dinner now, so Harry said quietly, ‘Let’s do that homework, get it out of the way.’ ‘Of course she’s award snitches, because that’s what she is,’ said Tracey, ‘that is certainly why Fudge sent her, so she could report back to the Ministry anything related to staff or student’s saying You-Know-Who is back.’ She’s going to punish anyone who says the truth, and award snitches.’ ‘It’s not just her teaching though, you heard how she wanted students to come to her if they heard anyone saying Voldemort is back. ![]() Harry quickly got off the Lockhart topic. #Lego harry potter years 1 4 ravenclaws ghost full#‘Well Lockhart doesn’t even know his middle name now,’ said Harry, though he regretted it pretty quickly as Tracey instantly looked full of shame. ‘Yes, but even Lockhart at least had us practicing magic,’ said Allison. ‘You know what it’s like, Hagrid told us, nobody wants the job, they say it’s jinxed.’ ![]() ‘Well, we’ve often had not the greatest Defense Against the Dark Arts teachers, have we?’ said Harry. Is there really no one else available for the job.’ How can we prepare for O.W.L.s when we can’t even practice the spells. Out of no where, Theodore suddenly slammed his book shut, ‘Why would Dumbledore hire such an incompetent and clearly scheming teacher. Despite this Harry gazed into the flames, feeling drained and exhausted. The common room was thankfully almost empty nearly everyone was still up at dinner, so as they started their homework there was little distractions. A dull pounding pain was developing over his right eye. Harry felt as though his first day of classes had lasted a week, but he still had a mountain of homework to do before bed. The Slytherin Dungeon was freezing, so the group huddled near the large hearth. ‘People would rather ignore the truth if the lie makes them feel more safe,’ concluded Tracey. ‘What Tracey says is true though, anyone who felt unsure if You-Know-Who was back went home soon after to be surrounded by Prophet stories saying you and Dumbledore are insane, so it confirms their suspicions that everything is ok.’ We believe you and Dumbledore,’ said Allison. ‘But it’s true that he’s back,’ said Harry loudly. Then Dumbledore says You-Know-Who is back, but nothing in the Daily Prophet confirmed that, so how could the Dark Lord be back if nothing bad is happening or the Ministry is not saying anything.’ Instead of Theodore, Tracey answered his question, ‘Harry, try and see it from everyone else’s point of view, all that everyone in the stands saw was you return clutching Cedric’s body, no one saw what happened or who killed him. ‘What d’you mean, you don’t know if they believed Dumbledore?’ Harry asked Theodore when they reached the stairs leading to the Slytherin Common Room. People stared at them all the way out of the Hall. Tracey also gave Terence a quick kiss and then she, Allison, and Harry rose to follow Theodore. ‘I’ll see you later, come on guys, this environment is to toxic for Harry.’ ‘To be honest, I don’t know how many people really did,’ said Theodore, who then gave Colin a kiss on the cheek and stood up. Knife and fork (his hands were trembling too much to hold them steady), ‘is why they all believed the story two months ago when Dumbledore told them.’ ![]() ‘What I don’t get,’ said Harry in a shaking voice, laying down his ‘He reckons he dueled with You-Know-Who.’ ‘He says he saw Cedric Diggory murdered.’ The funny thing was that none of the whisperers seemed to mind him overhearing what they were saying about him-on the contrary, it was as though they were hoping he would get angry and start shouting again, so that they could hear his story firsthand. He heard whispers all around him as he sat eating between Tracey and Allison. The news about his shouting match with Umbridge seemed to have traveled exceptionally fast even by Hogwarts standards.
