Soulmates

Chapter Twenty Two

Genevieve’s P.O.V 
It was the next morning and the first day of classes and when Fred, George and I were finally heading for our second class of the day and as soon as we walked into Defence Against the Dark Arts, we saw the new teacher Professor Umbridge and everyone soon sat down in their seats before Professor Umbridge soon spoke up, “Good morning class, today there would be a few changes made in this classroom this year, instead we will be learning in a strict Ministry Approved course” she said as she used her magic to hand out books as they landed in front of us on the desks, “we won’t be using Magic” I said confused, “I don’t see why you would need to use magic in my classroom dear” she told me as she walked closer, “I don’t understand, how do you expect us to defend ourselves if something bad happens” I said to her, “what makes you think something bad will happen for you to have to use magic to begin with” she said to me and I just sat there shocked, “you’re joking right, maybe because You-Know-Who is back” I said and she just stood there as if she was processing what I had just said, “that is a lie, that both you and Mr. Potter are telling” she said to me as she began to walk back to the front of the room, “but we aren’t lying Professor, why would you think we would lie about something like this” I began to say before she spoke up, “Detention after classes Miss. McGonagall” she said and I just slouched in my seat as she went on with the class. Later that day when classes were finally over and just before I was about to head over to Professor Umbridge’s office both Fred and George had stopped her, “how are you doing” Fred asked me and I shrugged, “you know we will always believe you and Harry even before being at Headquarters” George said to me and I smiled a little, “thanks Georgie and Freddie, it really means a lot” I said as the both of them hugged me, “well I should probably get to Professor Umbridge” I said as I broke away from the hug, “see you later” Fred said and I soon left. By the time I got there, I had seen Harry walk up to the door as well and I looked confused, “what are you doing here” I asked, “Detention for apparently telling lies and I’m guessing it’s the same for you” he said and I nodded before we both soon knocked on Professor Umbridge’s office door, “come in” we heard her say and we both walked in and saw that the whole room was covered in kittens and pink, “good evening Mr. Potter and Miss McGonagall. Sit” she said to us and the both of us sat down after closing Harry closed the door, “you’re going to be doing some lines for me to day Mr. Potter and Miss. McGonagall. no , not with your quills. You’re going to be using a rather special one of mine” she said just before we were about to grab our own as she soon got up from her seat to hand us the Quills, “Now, I want you two to write ‘I must not tell lies’” she told us, “how many times” both Harry and I asked, “well, let's say for as long as it takes for the message to sink in” she told us as both Harry and I noticed that there wasn’t any ink for us to use, “you haven’t given us any ink” he told her, “oh you both won’t need any ink” she told us and we soon began to write and not long after, I began to feel a sharp pain in my hand and I noticed that the same thing was happening to Harry as well as we both looked at each other before looking at our hands to see that the same thing was being written on our hand, “yes” Umbridge said as she walked in front of us as we just stared at her before Harry said something, “nothing” he said, “that’s right. Because you both know deep down, you deserve to be punished. Don’t you Mr. Potter and Miss. McGonagall? Go on” she said to us and walked away and we continued writing as my hand soon started to bleed a little and after some time went by, Professor Umbridge had finally let us go. 

As soon as we walked out of the room and made it to the corridor Harry spoke up, “your bleeding” Harry said as I tried to keep my other hand over it so that t didn’t get worse, “I’ll see if I can find something for it later” I said as we walked back to the Common room, “but we have to tell somebody about this and you know Hermione would say the same thing when she notices” I said as it made Harry stop walking, “no, I don’t want to give her the satisfaction and besides, Dumbledore has enough on his plate at the moment” he said and I sighed, “if we do keep letting her do this, she’ll end up doing the same thing to the entire school and who said we had to tell Dumbledore, I’ll just end up telling my Aunt about it anyways” I told him as we continued walking and made it to the Common room and we both sat down on the couch as he looked through a book that he grabbed from his bag, “Umbridge is doing the same with guys as well huh” I said and he nodded, “I think it’s ridiculous that we aren’t able to use magic” he said and I agreed, “we should do something about it if she won’t let us use it, the class is called what it is for a reason” I said as he continued looking through the book, “maybe it’s just, there is a lot going on at the moment so we should just think about it for now” he said and I nodded, “what’s bothering you, are you still having nightmares” I asked and he nodded, “ya but it’s like I’m seeing it through a snake’s p.o.v or something and it always shows the same door” he said and I furrowed my brows, “well I think it’s trying to tell you something, like the last time” I said and he thought about it for a short while, “you might be right, but we’ll see what happens” he said as Ron and Hermione came and sat down with us, What’s wrong with your hands” Hermione asked  Harry and I as I just looked at my hand not wanting to say anything, “nothing” Harry said as he showed the hand without the scaring, “the other hand” she said grabbing his left hand to see it before looking at me, “did the same thing happen to you as well” Ron asked and I nodded, “ya, and you can thank Professor Umbridge for that” I said to him, “you’ve got to tell Dumbledore” Hermione said, “No, Dumbledore’s got enough on his mind right now anyway like I said to Genny, I don’t want to give Umbridge the Satisfaction” Harry said to her before Ron spoke up, “Bloody hell you guys. The woman is torturing the both of you. If the parents knew about this-” Ron began to say until Harry spoke up, “ya well neither Genny nor I haven’t got any of those, have we Ron” Harry said and it went silent for a second before Hermione spoke up, “Harry, you’ve got to report this, it’s perfectly simple” she tried to say, “no, it’s not. Hermione, whatever this is it’s not simple. You don’t understand and the only person who does is Genny since she was the only one there to see what really happened” he said as he grabbed his things, “then help us to” Hermione tried to say to Harry before he got up and left and both Ron and Hermione looked at me, “tell us what happened, since you understand the situation a little better than we do” Ron said, “well, for starters, he told me that he’s been having nightmares again kind of like the ones before You-Know-Who came back except he’s been seeing a door in something else’s p.o.v and I personally think it’s telling him something” I told them as they just looked at each other, “and about the scarring on your hands” Hermione asked and I looked at my hand, “your’s looks worse then Harry’s” she said looking at it, “ya but there’s no doubt she’s not going to just sit here and do nothing, we both know she will tell someone about this” Ron tells Hermione and I shrugged, “ya don’t worry about that, I’ll be telling Aunt Minerva about it for sure” I said and Hermione sighed, “good, someone needs to know about this” she said and we continued to talk about it for a bit longer before I decided to see how Harry was doing. By the time I got to his dorm room, I gently knocked on the door as I saw Harry sitting on his bed as he turned to face me, “how are you feeling” I asked and he shrugged not saying anything and I went to sit down next to him, “you know Ron and Hermione are just trying to help and make sure you’re alright” I said and he nodded, “I know they are but it’s just, I feel like I’m alone all the time” he said before looking at me, “ you know, I felt the same way after my parents died even though My Aunt had already taken me in at the time of their funeral and I also felt like I also couldn’t talk about it to anyone because I also thought they wouldn’t understand what it would feel like” I told him, “how did you deal with it” he asked and I thought about it at first before talking, “I kept to myself at first but I eventually accepted it overtime” I told him and I soon left him alone to have some time to think before I had decided to go and tell Aunt Minerva about what had happened earlier and after we had finished talking for a short while, I headed back to the common room and soon had gotten changed as soon as I walked into my shared dorm and went to bed.
