Clash With Umbridge

By the end of the opening year feast, the older students were going to their house's respective dormitories while the first years were being escorted by their prefects. The teachers in charge of the houses were leaving the hall after the students had left to explain to the new students the school rules.

Flitwick himself was about to go to the Ravenclaw tower to explain the rules and point system to the first years when he turned around. After turning his back on the hall's heavy wooden doors, he walked up to the teachers' table and more specifically to Kai. After all, he had wanted to talk to the other half breed in the school now that Hagrid wasn't here.

"Hello professor Darcone it is a pleasure to meet you, my name is Filius Flitwick." The charms professor said to the Care of Magical Creatures professor in his high-pitched voice.

"Nice to meet you too professor Flitwick," the vampire responded politely and a bit surprised at his late greeting.

"Please call me Filius when there are no students around us."

"Then I must ask you to do the same Filius, call me Kai. I was never fond of being given a title without earning it. I will only accept the title when I have actually taught the students." Kai said.

"How admirable my friend. As the first member of the staff to receive a chance to talk to you in private, I would like to welcome you to this institution. I am well aware of the difficulties that come with teaching excited and energetic children for the first time and therefore would like to offer you a listening ear and advice if you ever need it." The half breed said enthusiastically.

"Us half breeds have to stick together if we wish to survive this prejudiced society." He squeaked. (Vampires were considered half breeds and not non-humans as they were previously human.) "Well I must be off, it was nice to meet you Kai, goodnight."

"Goodbye Filius goodnight." Kai wished the friendly charms professor. The half-goblin waddled off in a hurry in the direction of Ravenclaw tower.

'Well that was a nice man, very full of life' he thought as he walked towards the exit of the hall. As he walked down the hall, Kai heard a pair of tiny horrid shoes clicking on the floor as the woman that owned them rushed in his direction.

He was planning on decorating his room before he heard the nasty noise that told him it was Umbridge. His room was currently empty, save for a desk, a bed and some shelves and cabinets. He wanted to put some life into his chambers and office, perhaps add some of Harry's creations put in his office. That would hopefully improve Harry's memory recovery when they would have their private lessons together.

Yes, he would do this.

But now Umbridge was walking up to him and seemed to be angry it would delay him, not that it mattered as he had the whole night to unpack as he didn't sleep at night. He didn't turn around until she got within a few feet of him. The closeness of the toad-like woman allowed Kai to smell her blood.

It was horrible and stank. The only times he had smelled such nasty blood had been from one of the Bulgarian stink bugs that had been a part of the first court war and from Tom's previous body.

They were both not human, or at least not fully human in Tom's case. Her face caused Kai much revulsion and he made an effort to keep a straight face.

The main reason that he had allowed her to stay in the castle and teach was that he needed her to be a reason that caused Harry to confide and get closer to him. Once he would open up to him about her treatment of him then he would stop her and get the toad-faced witch fired. He wielded the most power in the world, political and physical. It would be easy to get rid of Umbridge.

He got a closer look of the witch now that she was nearer to him and it was worse than he had thought, she was wearing a pink cardigan and woollen skirt of the same shade of pink. She wore low heel pink stilettos and was small and pudgy in general.

But currently she was fuming, her cheeks were bloated and her eyes were incredibly swollen and pronounced. Kai thought that there was a chance that her eyes would pop out of their sockets from her anger. Her entire body was trembling mildly in rage and anger at being stopped by a half breed.

She was angry at him for causing her to lose her chance to introduce herself in front of the students. She was somebody that valued her reputation and showing off, Kai had cost her first monumental to do so.

"How dare a half-breed like you dare enter the halls of Hogwarts. You should be locked up and then put down like the beast that you are instead of being allowed to roam freely on these grounds. How dare an animal like you try to corrupt our children with your crude and terrible teaching methods!" The toad faced witch ranted.

But when faced with her accusations Kai merely laughed. He found her allegations amusing. She was accusing him of what she herself had been sent to do by the minister. She was the minister's link to monitoring the school and regulating Dumbledore's power.

Umbridge was a rabid little beast who deserved to be put down, not Kai. In her quest for power, she had fired her own father and caused him to lose his job merely because he was her relative. Umbridge herself had proclaimed that she was a pureblood when she was, in fact, a half-blood and therefore to cover her tracks fired her father. She hated being asked if she was related to Orford Umbridge who worked in the Department of Magical Maintenance.

And that was only to her father who was a wizard. Her mother who was a muggle and her sister who was a squib vanished one day. It was suspected that Umbridge had killed them because she hated them and the smear that they were on her blood.

She had been raised by the pureblood doctrine taught to her by her father and she was deeply prejudiced by it.

She was the one who deserved to be put down like the monster that she was. No animal would kill its family simply because they wanted to hide something, that was something that only a monster could do. She had destroyed her own family and the lives of many others.

Meanwhile, all of these thoughts were coursing through his mind he left the smirk over his face and brushed past her. Dolores who believed that half breeds and non-humans were worse than dirt immediately brandished her wand and was about to fire a spell.

But after much indecision, she decided not to. The minister still hadn't solidified her position in Hogwarts and Dumbledore wanted every excuse to fire her. Attacking a member of the staff at the moment, even if he was a filthy half breed wasn't wise.

She hadn't reached her position of undersecretary of the minister with brute force. No, she had done so by utilising her cunning and smarts to claw herself to that position and now she was the minister's most trusted employ. That was the reason that she was sent here.

She would wait until her position was strengthened before getting her revenge and then getting rid of the filthy half breed. She put her wand away and said in her sickly-sweet tone "I'm sorry for my outburst, goodnight professor Darcone."

Kai merely raised his hand and left to his quarters. He didn't see her horrifying expression, but even if he did he wouldn't care. After all, an ant can't kill the dragon no matter how hard it tries.

And here we are introduced to Umbridge a shallow and horrible woman. She isn't really mentioned in other fanfics so it is hard for me to get an accurate idea of her character. So I hope that she turned out well.
