"Oh for Merlin's sake" Amelia sighed and pinched the bridge of her nose in an effort to drive out the desire to shoot Umbridge, though admittedly even she didn't know why she was doing that "like I said before. He is permitted to take whatever action he seems necessary and will someone please take those boys away" A few aurors nodded and levitated the boys into the air and took them out of the hall.
"You cannot be serious, this squib?!"
"Umbridge, I'd appreciate it if you can keep your views to yourself" Amelia glared at her
"I'd appreciate her head on a spike but for some reason I get the feeling that that isn't going to happen" Harry whispered to Ryan who snorted in amusement before he turned around and saw Tonks glance at him and his attention was lost to the pink haired auror.
It took the students a little while to get used to the aurors that were patrolling the school, along with getting used to Ryan who many simply did not know how to react to. While he was a squib, he acted much like Harry in his 'I am arrogant because I can back it up' attitude. Ryan could be seen hanging around with Harry a lot of the time, a few of the smarter students realised that if a squib was supposed to work alongside the defeater of Voldemort and Dumbledore than he was likely dangerous in some way or form.
A fact that a few others didn't realise, which is how several seventh years found themselves in the hospital wing being questioned by aurors after Madam Pomphrey repaired their broken bones.
Umbridge had made it her personal mission to try and get a rise out of Ryan by antagonising him whenever possible, always referring to him as squib and treating him like he was not worthy to clean her shoes. Not that Ryan would every want to clean her shoes. However Ryan simply didn't care that he was a squib, because he knew that even without magic he was better than this pink toad would ever be. So he took each insult with a smile, something that irritated Umbridge to no end.
"Hi Tonks" Ryan said one day when he found Tonks waiting near the entrance to the great hall "how are you doing?"
"Fine" Tonks shrugged "guard duty is a bit boring though"
"Yeah, I was always a man of action myself" Ryan responded "perhaps you'd like some company?"
"Company?" Tonks raised an eyebrow
"Well yeah, I can imagine it's pretty boring just standing here" Ryan replied
"Yeah well, thanks but I finish in about..." Tonks cast a tempus spell so she could see the time "twenty-one minutes"
"Brilliant, you want to go to Hogsmeade with me?" Ryan asked
"What?" Tonks asked in surprise
"You want to go to Hogsmeade with me?" Ryan repeated
"What? Like a date?"
"Yeah...like a date"
"Well..."
"Come on" Ryan said "I'll buy you some yummy chocolate"
"Chocolate?" Tonks's interest was captured
"Yes, any type of chocolate you want" Ryan grinned, knowing he had her "it'll be a blast, come on"
"Oh...oh fine! But you, mister, had better have enough money to buy me a lot of chocolate"
"Deal, meet me at the castle entrance when your done with your shift" Ryan said before running off "see you then Tonks"
"Yeah, but that's not true though, is it?" Harry said as he sat at the Slytherin table
"It might be" Tracy said as she looked up from her magazine "apparently a lot of people are wondering if Krum is secretly gay because his never had a long term relationship with a girl"
"Trust me, he's not gay" Harry replied "one time his mother caught him when..."
"Harry" Ryan said as he came up to him "could I borrow some money?"
"What for?" Harry asked
"I have a date" Ryan said proudly "and I don't have any money on me at that moment so could you lend me some money then I'll pay you back?"
"Sure, just go and call Dobby and tell him to get you some"
"Thanks mate" Ryan clapped him on the back and walked off so he could get ready
"Who does he have a date with?" Astoria asked
"Tonks" Harry answered "the pink haired auror"
"How do you know?"
"Because I've seen the way he looks at her, it was only a matter of time"
"Yeah, yeah" Tracy waved a hand "you were saying something about Krum?"
"Oh, right, well one time his mother caught him looking at..."
"Harry" Another voice interrupted
"Oh" Tracy groaned, she just knew she wasn't going to get the story out of Harry anytime soon. Harry turned to see Adrian standing behind him
"C...can I talk to you in private please?" Adrian asked in a quiet voice
"Sure" Harry nodded, wondering what had caused this. He got up and followed Adrian.
