《THE DARK ENIGMA • TOM RIDDLE》LXXXIV. Umbridges Madness
Advertisement
I enter the grand hall as I sit down across from Draco and next to Hermione.
"Pardon me professor, but what exactly are you insinuating?" Umbridge's voice enters the hall as everyone pauses, looking over to where the voice is coming from.
"I am merely requesting that when it comes to my students, you conform to prescribed disciplinary practices." Mcgonagall answers firmly as we get up along with many of the other students to see what was going on.
"So silly of me, but it sounds as if you're questioning my authority in my own classroom, Minerva." Umbridge sneers as she walks up a step to look down at mcgonagall.
"Not at all, delores." Mcgonagall responds with a glare. "Merely your medieval methods."
"I... am sorry, dear. But to question my practices is to question the ministry, and by extension, the minister himself! I am a tolerant woman, but the one thing I will not stand for is disloyalty." She scolds the older woman as I raise an eyebrow at the woman.
"Disloyalty..." Mcgonagall mutters as umbridge turns towards the students that were gathered.
"Things at hogwarts are far worse than I feared! Cornelius will want to take immediate action!" The woman yells as the students glance at eachother nervously.
———
A teacher nails the proclamation of educational decree onto the stone wall as it hangs with a lock, sealing away the decree.
'Dolores Jane umbridge has been appointed to the post of hogwarts high inquisitor.'
The teachers grins proudly as they take out the newest daily prophet copy.
'Ministry seals educational reform! New era dawns at hogwarts.'
Glancing at the image of umbridge walking out of the school, reports gathered around the woman.
"What's happened to dumbledore?!" You can a reporter shout as the pink woman merely smiles.

The teacher flips the page as their eyes glance over the next heading.
'Parents endorse ministry move!'
"Having already revolutionized the teaching of defense against the dark arts, Delores umbridge, will, as high inquisitor, have powers to address the seriously falling standards at hogwarts school." The minister explains as he walks down the black brick hallway.
———
Umbridge's shoes click on the floor as she walks cockily down the hallway.
She looks over as she sees two students cuddling, the girl then pecks the male on the lips quickly as he smiles softly at the female.
Umbridge points her wand at the two as they're students pushed away, the female hitting her back against the wooden bench as she winced in pain.
———
"Dream it—" Professor trelawnly tries to say but was cut off by umbridge.
"Just one question, dear. You've been in this post how long exactly?" Umbridge asks as the female pauses, looking at the shorter woman nervously.
———
Three males walk down the corridor as umbridge points her wand at them, tightening their ties as they grunt at the student uncomfort.
Umbridge grins as she glances back at the annoyed and uncomfortable males.
———
"You applied first for the defense against the dark arts post, is that correct?" Imbedding asks the darkly-dressed potions Professor who sneers at her.
"Yes."
"But you were unsuccessful?" The woman inquires tauntingly with a grin as the male sighs.
"Obviously."
A certain red-haired weasel snickers as umbridge grins before walking out.
Once the female had closed the door, the potions professor hit the red-haired male on the head with a book violently as the student winced.
———
Fred and George throw around a spark as the crowd cheers.
The spark flies down as George goes to catch it but failed when umbridge put the spark out.

The woman then walked away with a grin as the crowd sighs.
———
"Could you please... predict something for me?" Umbridge asks the professor as the students glance around.
"I'm sorry?" The Professor asks as umbridge smiles.
"One teensy little prophesy?" Asks umbridge in a mocking tone as the professor pauses, looking off in the distance as she stays silent.
"Shame." Umbridge says as she turns around.
"No, wait, wait, no! I— I think I do see something! Yes! I do. Something dark... you... you are in grave danger." The Professor warns as umbridge looks back at her.
"Lovely."
———
The students sing as flitwick instructs them.
Umbridge walks to the other side of the short male as she takes out a tape measure.
———
"Luna, what's going on?" I ask the female as the students rush out to the yard.
"It's Professor trelawney..." Luna murmurs before we contour. Walking out.
Once we reach there, we see Filch carrying out trelawneys final suitcase as she stares in shock.
Filch mumbles some curses under his breath before walking back inside.
The doors then open before rattling shut again as umbridge walks towards trelawney.
"Six... sixteen years I've... I've lived and taught here... hogwarts is my home. You.. you can't do this...!" Trelawney sobs as umbridge smiles before holding up a paper.
"Actually, I can." She waves the paper as trelawney dissolves into sobs.
Mcgonagall then pushes past some students from across the field as she rushes towards trelawney.
"Oh, dear..." Mcgonagall murmurs as she hugs the sobbing woman.
"Something you'd like to say, dear?" Umbridge asks innocently as Mcgonagall glares at her.
"Oh, there are several things I would like to say!" Mcgonagall snaps before turning back to the sobbing woman.
"There. Shh, Shh..." Mcgonagall comforts the woman before the doors slam open and dumbledore walks out.
"Professor Mcgonagall, might I ask you to escort Sybil back inside?" Dumbledore asks as Mcgonagall nods.
"Sybil, dear..." Mcgonagall murmurs as she leads trelawney back inside.
"Thank you..." trelawney murmurs towards dumbledore before continuing to walk inside with the help of Mcgonagall.
"Dumbledore, may I remind you that, under the terms of educational decree number as enacted by the minister—" Umbridge tries to explain but was cut off by dumbledore.
"You have the right to dismiss my teachers. You do not, however, have the authority to banish them from the grounds. These power remains with the headmaster." Dumbeldore interrupts as a smile remains on umbridge's face but her eye twitches in annoyance.
"For now." Umbridge responds innocently as dumbeldore looks at her blankly before turning around and walking towards the doors. Dumbledore paused as he glanced at all of us.
"Don't you all have studying to do?!"

Legendary Farmer (available on Kindle July 2022!)
NOTE: Legendary Farmer is now COMPLETE. The first book, Clearing, was released on Kindle Unlimited July 5, 2022 with significant edits. I will post the first chapter of Clearing, as well as three chapters of Cuckoo's Dream, another novel in the LF universe, as a stub, with a link to the first book, so if you love LF and want me to be able to keep writing consistently, please go give Clearing five stars! In the VRMMORPG, Veritas Online, things are getting a little stale. Since the game launched, only one world- wide event has occurred, and that was a year ago.. The players are still having fun, but everyone agrees it’s about time for something big to happen. Everybody tends to forget that big things grow from small things, and little things are always changing in Veritas.The human country of Quarternell is at peace for the first time in... ever. Aspen, a former war hero, feels like he’s earned a quiet life together with his animal companions. They’re tired of fighting, and other people in general. They plan to live peacefully, far away from the city. As soon as Aspen figures out this farming thing out, he’s never going to go anywhere again. Unfortunately for Aspen, his country and his goddess aren’t quite done with him yet.Rouge the Rogue is a casual gamer in Veritas Online. She’s just a kid, and her focus is supposed to be on school and hanging out with friends. Emphasis on ‘supposed to’. She’s already pretty good at the school thing, and she doesn’t actually have that many friends. What she really loves is exploring all the cool ways the developers of Veritas found to make their game unique and realistic. Then she’s offered a very special quest, and an opportunity to go beyond the average player. She’s never been that much of a rule follower anyway....Clearing is appropriate for most ages. It has minimal foul language, no sex, and some violence. It is LGBTQ+ friendly. (P.S. IMPORTANT! This book contains very mild profanity, no sex, and is meant to be FUN. Yes, the characters sometimes think Deep Thoughts, and idealism pretty much runs rampant, but, in the end, I hope you just enjoy reading it. Laugh, cry, share it with your kids, read it to your dog, whatever makes you happy. My goal is for it to be accessible to everyone from ages 12ish on up, so you could definitely consider it YA, but with lots of big words because I don't believe in talking down to my readers.) Book Two: Harrowing (Starts after the original Chapter Fifty, now Sixteen, since I condensed chapters from the same perspective together.) Zoey has started her summer internship at Veritas Corporation, and she can honestly say that being an adult is boring. Until she starts learning secrets she was never supposed to know. In game, Rouge is finally making progress on her big quest. Apparently Duke Penbrooke took too long to return to the world, so the world is coming to get him... in the form of a few assassins. Aspen is going to have to face the life he left behind, and deal with the fact that it's not as easy being 'dead' as he thought. When what he'd hoped would be a short trip back to civilization to resupply turns into a whole lot more, he'll have to fight for his life, his friends, and his kingdom. Book Three: Sowing Rouge and Aspen have reached Bright, only to find that their enemies were already expecting them. They will have to quickly unravel the mysteries of who their opponents actually are, because they're already ten steps behind. Rouge and Aspen are finally home, but that doesn't mean they can return to their peaceful days of farming. Their enemies are hot on their heels and determined to destroy everything they've managed to achieve. Join them and all their friends for the final volume of Legendary Farmer.

The Other World
Every living being becomes a Traveler while sleeping. This means that part of what is called “consciousness” detaches from the rest, carrying us towards worlds located in parts still unknown of the universe. Most of these places have things that inhabit only our dreams. Worlds were physics is not the same one we know. Where magic exists and mythological creatures walk amongst the people. Most of the Travelers become mere spectators in this world, unable to influence it. With some luck, they can go back to their bodies and wake up with the memory of a pleasant dream. Others do not have the same luck and end up stuck in the limbo, unable to return home. There is one other category of Travelers. These are the ones strong enough to create bodies and separate themselves from the life they had before. These Travelers start a new life without ever thinking about returning to the place they once called “home”. This story is about the last kind of Travelers and their trials in a world filled with spells, magical creatures and monsters. **

Outsiders of Xykesh
In the center of Asher's most treacherous waters lies the island nation of Xykesh. Hundreds of years ago, the tyrant Digax fled to it as a refuge after his defeat. Since then, his power has shrouded it in storms and wards which let few people in, and none out. Nearly the whole of the island is now his domain, and what is left is wilderness full of monsters. Though the Mad King himself is a distant figure, his Chosen rule with unquestioned power over their subjects. But their hold is not absolute. On the day Digax claimed Xykesh as his, a blind prophet foretold that an outsider from beyond the island's shores would come, and they would end his reign. And so the King has dreaded their arrival ever since. Many outsiders have arrived on Xykesh, either by accident, or in search of the truth behind the mysteries and myths that have sprung up around the island. The populace has been long conditioned to distrust these new arrivals, but so far, none have proven to be the ones the prophet spoke of. At least, just maybe, until now. Four parts per episode. Twenty-six episodes for volume 1. Updates Tuesdays and Fridays.
