Umbridge Is Back

Dracos POV 

I was sitting at the teacher's table waiting for Minerva to give her speech, I was looking around when I saw her stand, she cleared her throat and the hall fell silent. "It has come to my attention that the first years need to learn to ride a broom for future preferences on Quidditch. So, I have contacted the Ministry and they sent me a teacher for broom riding, I did not choose her and I expect you all not to lose your temper with her. Welcome back, Professor Umbridge," she said I looked around and saw the pink toad sitting on the end of the table. "Hem, hem," she said giving her fake cough when she wanted to speak I stood and turned towards her.

"I don't care if Minerva allows you to teach here, you will NOT be civil with me after what you did to my husband in his fifth year and I would understand if any of these students lose their temper with you," I said loudly regaining my seat everyone was staring, but I ignored and took a drink from my goblet.

"Mr. Potter, that outburst was not needed, but I fully side with you. You are to not expect the teachers to respect you after the way you taught all those years ago." she said in her calm voice, "Get to class,"

I walked to my classroom trying to cover the hickey that was now fading I looked back and saw no one walking behind me. I walked into class with a dramatic entrance like Severus I had sixth years today, "Morning class, I expect you all got the homework done?" I asked looking around there was the shuffle of bags as everyone got their essay out, "Right, I'll pick those up later first can anyone tell me what Ammortintia is?" I asked looking around a hand shot up and I looked at the owner, "Yes, Miss?"

"Atlas, I'm the Defence teachers daughter, Ammortintia is a dangerous love potion that could get you sent to Azkaban for using it on someone. If inhaled you'll smell the scent of the person you love," she said I smiled faintly and nodded,

"That is correct, seems we have another Hermione, what's your House?" I asked she smiled,

"I'm a Ravenclaw, Mr. Potter," she said giggling,

"Ten points to Ravenclaw, now we will be brewing Ammortintia today, you are not to take any with you, you will smell it once it's finished and if you don't smell anything you either did it wrong or you simply are cold," I said tapping the board where instructions appeared, "Instructions on the board, I'll be walking around to pick up your homework,"

I walked around watching as everyone got the ingredients from the cabinet and read what do. I watched as they put in the ashwinder eggs when the door slammed closed I turned around to see the pink toad in magenta robes, "May I help you?" I asked with a raised eyebrow,

"Can you answer some questions for me?" she asked I looked around and cleared my throat,

"Get back to work. No, I may not answer your questions," I said turning around sweeping the classroom again,

"How long have you been working here?" she asked I turned back to her and she had a clipboard in her hand,

"I told you I am not answering questions, now, get out of my classroom, I am currently teaching," I said walking towards her,

"But-" she started,

"Out!" I bellowed she looked at me with a pale face, huffed, and walked out I turned back to the class, "Sorry about that continue your work," a hand rose in the air, "Yes?"

"What exactly did she do to your husband to make you hate her?" a pale-faced boy asked,

"That is none of your concern but if you wish to know, she has a blood quill so don't get detention with her," I said everyone returned to their work. 

I walked around continuing to pick up the missed essays I had them do, the bell rung and they went to get their stuff I motioned for them to sit and I went to the front of the class. "Put some of your potion in a vile and bring it up here, you will be doing two scrolls on Ammortintia and it's uses and why it's illegal, put your name on the vile and put it on my desk, dismissed," I said there was the rustling of papers and clinking of viles as people scooped the potion into their viles. I sat at my desk and scribbled a letter to Harry, it read:

Harry,

Umbridge is back, she's doing flying lessons for first years, thought you'd like to know. The defense teachers daughter got ten points to her house for explaining Ammortintia very well, anyway how's work so far? Did Ron ever get the person who took the photo in? 

I love you,

Draco,

I smiled at it folded it up and put it in my bag as the next class filed in. 

**After the lessons**

Dracos POV still

I sighed as I sent the letter off, I sat back in my chair to grade papers when the toad walked in. "Now what do you want?" I asked turning to her she was fiddling with her thumbs her hair bow was askew and she looked almost...nervous.

"I just wanted to say I'm sorry for what I did to your husband, I spent my time in Azkaban and I know how wrong it was to give him weeks of detention for simply saying things he disagreed with when I didn't do it with Granger so I'm sorry," she said nervously,

"I cannot forgive you, you were unfair you punished him for disagreeing but not her, you punished him for telling the truth about why I was slashed by a hippogriff when it wasn't even your class, I trust you know he still has the scar?" I asked raising my eyebrow,

"No, I didn't know, Minerva told me that if I wanted your help with my class I needed to apologize," she said still fiddling with her thumbs,

"Right, well, I can't forgive you, but I can help with your classes," I said as there was a light tapping on the window I looked to see Hedwig, I grabbed the letter and opened it, what I read made me smile:

Draco,

I know Minerva wants to see the kids so in a few weeks I'll come to visit with them, let's just hope they don't cause trouble. How'd the lessons go today?

I love you, 

Harry,

Umbridge looked at me confused with the grin on my face, "What is it?" she asked looking at me eagerly,

"Harry's coming visit with the kids in a few weeks," I said still smiling ignoring the fact that I hated her,

"Will I be able to see them?" she asked sadly I looked up the smile on my face gone,

"I'll ask him if that would be ok, they're quite adorable," I said she looked at me and smiled faintly,

"Thank you, I'll let you grade your papers now," she said getting up and walking out I smiled and modified the letter I wrote about her and sent it off with Hedwig, she flew out the open window and I got back to grading papers.
