Harry Potter has dealt with a lot of surprises in his life. Considering last year he was forced to fight a dragon, save Hermione from drowning, witness Cedric be murdered and see Voldermort - again. By this point you'd think he would no longer be surprised by what life threw at him.
But you'd be very wrong because Harry never expected Professor Umbridge to be dragging him and Hermione towards Professor McGonagalls office.
Allow me to explain.
It had started when Ron had gone to grab something from the common room while Harry and Hermione continued walking towards the Great Hall. Ron had promised to only be a minute and that he would catch up with them. As Harry and Hermione walk, admittedly very slowly as they were in no rush, Hermione brought up the subject.
"Harry, you know how you find Cho, rather cute?" Hermione asked, causing Harry to look at her with a confused look. "Uh yeah?" He hoped would be a good enough answer for Hermione, it seemed to be as Hermione continued speaking. "Is it okay if I think she's cute as well?" This caused Harry to stop walking and look at her with a bewildered expression.
"Are you trying to come out to me?" He asked, unsure on what Hermione was asking. Hermione took a moment before nodding. "Yes I suppose, I'm Bi." Harry burst into a grin "Same. I thought Cedric was attractive before he, you know. Died." Harry stated bluntly before there was a tap on his shoulder.
"Ahem." A women that could be mistaken for a pink pom-pom appeared behind the two. "I could not help but overhear that you two were discussing, liking the same gender?" Umbridge spoke the last part like she was going to Voldermort 3 times to summon him. Harry turned around and faced the witch. "Yeah? Let me guess, it's another rule broken and another detention." Hermione would normally have scolded Harry for his sass but couldn't help but nearly laugh this time.
"What a rude boy! Liking the same gender is wrong! Completely unordinary!" She gasped before grabbing both students by the back of their shirt collars "We will just have to see what Professor McGonagall will think about this!"
And that is how Harry and Hermione found themselves outside Professor McGonagall's office, Harry fairly confident that this couldn't be worse than having to use a blood quill and Hermione shaking like she just had ice water thrown over her. "Nothing bad will happen. No where near as bad as what we usually do." Harry whispered to her and it was true. They had done far worse than liking boys and girls.
Umbridge barged into the office, revealing a startled and slightly dishevelled Professor McGonagall. A few wisps of hair had escaped her normally tight bun. "What is the meaning of this?" Professor McGonagall asked from her seat behind her desk. She eyed Harry and Hermione carefully before looking at Umbridge.
Umbridge pointed at the two with a aggressive finger. "I have caught these students talking about inappropriate subjects!" she exclaimed while McGonagall raised her eyebrows. "Really? What were you talking about?" She asked Harry and Hermione, when Umbridge tried to answer McGonagall raised her hand and told her to shut up.
Harry burst out laughing while Hermione smacked him "Really?" but she was also having to hold her in chuckles. Once they eventaully calmed down, they both explained what had happened. "So we both discovered we were both bi and Professor Umbridge dragged us here." Harry finsihed explaining while McGonagall nodded.
"Dolores. You dragged two students up here because they are able to express themselves?" Professor McGonagall shifted her attention to her fellow Professor. "It is unnatural for them to like the same gender. They should only like the opposite!" Umbridge gasped as Minerva McGonagall burst out laughing.
Minerva quickly calmed herself before speaking. "You came to me for this? Oh my wife will love hearing about this." Minerva smirked as Umbridge's face dropped in despair. Harry and Hermione both laughed while moving towards their Transfiguration Professor. Umbridge huffed before storming off, clearly not happy about whta had just happened.
That is when Poppy Pomfrey walked in. "Should of let her walk in, would of paid good money to see her face to see us snogging." Poppy said as she walked towards her wife, kissing her before realising Harry and Hermione were still there.
The two kids grinned "Thanks Professor." they both said before Poppy interrupted "She tries anything to yous, detentions as such. Just come to either of us and we'll cover for you." The matron promised while Minerva smiled "Can't wait for her to leave."
Harry and Hermione stayed for a while till they heard Ron yelling for them. They left the wives alone but were happy to know they were safe with them.
