Chapter 11: Dumbledore Never Finished his Speech

I sat next to my brother and George, who held my hand under the table. Just after all of the first years were sorted, Dumbledore stood up.

He went up to his podium in front of the Staff Table so he could see us all. He did not look Harry nor I in the eye, though.

"...our caretaker, Mr. Filch, has asked me to remind you -"

"Hem-Hem... Thank you, headmaster, for those kind words of welcome... The Ministry of Magic has always considered the education of young witches and wizards to be of a vital importance. Although each headmaster has brought something new to this... historic school, progress for the sake of progress must be discouraged. Let us preserve what must be preserved, perfect what can be perfected and prune practices that ought to be... prohibited!"

"Thank you Professor Umbridge. That really was most... illuminating."

Did that bitch just interrupt Dumbledore?

That bitch did! Oh my fucking Merlin.

"She just..." I began.

"Interrupted Dumbledore." Harry finished for me.

"I'll admit it," I said as I cut up my steak once dinner appeared on the table. "That little bitch has nerve."

"How?" Asked Ron, his mouth full of chicken.

I rolled my eyes. "She interrupted Dumbledore. You don't do that. Nobody ever does!"

"Oh." He said, his mouth now full of mashed potatoes.

"Ron, don't talk with food in your mouth." I said, disgusted.

Oh my Gods I'm sorry this is so short.

I have Marching Band Camp from 8am to 5pm, and then I have registration from 5pm to 7pm.

School pictures are during registration, so yay.

After being outside ALL DAY, I have to take a fucking school picture.

Our Marching Band Theme: Guess what it is, and you'll get a dedication next chapter!
