Cecelea and the Toad

Cecelea had seen one of the Weasley twins getting uncomfortable in his seat as her green eyes grazed the hall quickly. Her eyes narrowed seeing at how Umbridge was trying to stare him down. What a joke. Cecelea thought as her pale fingers tangled into her black hair while she stood up, making herself look as odd as possible. Her feet almost floated above the ground, walking until she was next to the chair that had been cursed to hold the buttocks of the pink toad.

"Professor," She began her statement, waiting for the pink woman to turn to face the muggle-born. Seeing as though she would not get this, the smile that she forced on her lips disappeared as both of her hands dropped back down to her sides, tilting her head to the side. "I hope you know that it is much more respectful to look at a person when they speak with you." Her distraction of the woman did not help as the Great Hall noticed the Weasley twins leaving the hall.

That is when the old woman finally looked. "Yes?" That ridiculous smile that held up the wrinkles on her face made a sneer come out of Cecelea's lips after sending a ‘hem hem’ in their direction.

The muggle-born leaned down slightly, making sure she did not hold one ounce of kindness on her face as she rested two inches away from the woman's distorted face. Whether it was because Cecelea was closer to the woman, or that it was normally distorted, at that moment, it didn't matter. "I hope you know I take extra care of my students unlike you." Her green eyes bore into the woman's, in all honesty; she was surprised to see Umbridge's eyes weren’t pink. Her pale hand rested on the arm-rest closest to the pink toad as her eyes narrowed. "And believe me, I am not one you want to piss off."

Without waiting for any response, Cecelea leaned back, returning her face to the kind smile she forced onto it, and brought herself around the table this time, and down the hall.

Little did she know students, among a few Professors, had watched her leave out of the Great Hall doors that the Weasleys did. As she exited, she looked around the halls, turning the corner until she found Peeves the ghost. "Little muggle-born on the rise, I see you have planned the toad's demise." Peeves sang aloud as the muggle-born looked up to the ghost, only rolling her eyes at him.


This post was a reply to something on my roleplay site. Cecelea is my original character that I created back in 2007. The background to this post is that Fred Weasley was having a 'glaring contest' with Umbridge from Harry's fifth year at Hogwarts.
