The Hidden Truth

A Terrible Schedule

Breakfast was the same as usual. Everything went well actually. Well, that was until we got our timetables. I looked and saw my schedule. "Seriously?" I said, wanting to die. I had one good class for today, and that was father's. "We have Double Potions, followed by Transfiguration, lunch, Charms, free period, and then Double DADA." I sighed, setting the parchment down on the table, and continuing to eat my lunch.

"Seriously?!" Ron groaned as his head hit the table.

I finished my plate moments later and stood. Ron and Hermione followed me out, and we walked to the dungeons. "If it isn't the 'Golden Boy' and the 'Weasel' and the 'Bookworm'." Draco had approached us with his goons behind him.

"Just leave us alone Malfoy. Also, it's sweet that you took the time to come up with nicknames for us. That means you think about us." Ron was laughing behind me, and Hermione giggled as I just smirked. I knew Draco thought about us all the time. I am the Dark Lord's lover, Hermione is the only person who can challenge him, besides me, and Ron is light. He is also dating Ron's brothers. He looked affronted by the comment, though I knew he did not, but we had an act to keep up.

"Shut up, Potter!" He spit my name out. Perfect acting. But, not as well as mine.

"Oh yeah, and why should I? You can't do anything about it. Not without shaming the Malfoy name anyhow." I was smirking.

Draco stormed away from us.

"Bloody hell mate, I thought he was a Death Eater. I guess I was wrong though." Ronald whispered into my ear.

"He is one. It's called acting." I whispered back and he looked shocked. "Come on, let's go inside. Snape should be here soon." I spoke louder as I started walking away into the classroom.

After that, the day went normal. I was lectured and blamed multiple times today in potions. I did well in transfiguration. My charms wasn't too bad, and I enjoyed my free period studying. Then, it was time for DADA.

We all walked into DADA, taking a seat at the desks. We all pulled our wands out and placed them on our desks, one kid using it to make a paper dragon. Out of nowhere, the dragon was turned to flames, and in came the 'Star Nosed Mole' from the back of the room.

She walked to her desk and spoke, "Hello, as you all may know, I am yalls new professor, Professor Umbridge. Now, so that yall are safe, you will not be using your wands in my class." Everyone looked either shocked, angry, or both. 

Hermione stood, her hands on the desk as she leaned forward. "What? But what are we supposed to do then?"

"Ms. Granger, you will not speak without raising your hand. Also, to answer your question, you will be using ministry assigned text books." She smiled.

This time, I stood up. "What?! How are text books going to prepare us for what's in the real world?!"

"And what would possibly want to hurt a bunch of fifth years inside of Hogwarts?"

"Oh, I don't know. Let me think... Maybe, Lord Voldemort?!" The class gasped as I used his name. Only me and Albitch- I mean Albus, dared to call him that.

"The Dark Lord is dead. I don't know why you would say he is, but that is a lie."

"Oh, then how come, me and Cedric Diggory BOTH, saw him?! You think two boys had the SAME hallucination? Cause, I don't!"

"Mr. Potter! You will not raise your voice at me. Detention tonight at eight o'clock."

I scoffed as I sat down. Hermione, who was next to me, put her hand on my shoulder, reassuringly. We continued with the lesson, our wands put away, and our text books out.

I walked down into the dungeons. "Draco, Professor Snape wishes us both in his office." I said, walking past him as I did. He nodded, said goodbye to his friends, and followed me to my father's office. Once inside, I locked the door and turned to him. "Talk to you're father tonight, and tell him that I request the name of the person responsible for Umbridge's employment."

"Of course my Lady, is that all?"

"No. Did you inform your father to inform my lover of my plan?" I asked, picking up a level 2 potions book from my father's desk.

"Yes my Lady, I did. He even sent word back. The Dark Lord requests to speak more to you about it during the Yule break." I nodded.

"One last thing." I said, walking over to him. I grabbed his left arm and rolled his sleeve up. I pressed my wand and muttered, "Reginae Tenebrae" A mark appeared on his arm. It looked similar to the Inner Circle Dark Mark, but instead, it had a crown. "I will be marking the entire guard with this mark. Don't worry though. It will only be visible to the ones you want it to be visible to. Also, if I call you, only you and the ones who you allow can see it glow a silver color."

I then walked out of the room, finding the rest of my guard.

After marking each guard member, I returned to my room until dinner.

I am so sorry I have been inactive! I just have so much going on, and we are starting final exams in 3-4 weeks. I have been so stressed out, and not sleeping well also. I try to upload as much as possible. I will also be trying to get multiple chapters out a week come summer, but there will be times I won't be able to. Well, goobye!!
