My head whipped around as I stared at the lady in the pink cardigan. She was now sitting next to Fudge. Even in a world filled with beautiful witches, Umbitch stood out. She was a little stout, her face swollen, though unlike my assumptions, she didn't resemble a toad—not unless you squinted your eyes to look at her.

I turned to look at the man in question. He looked disheveled and pitiful, reflecting his cowardly nature. He was a small man with thinning hair and watery eyes that darted around nervously. His hands trembled as he was placed in the chair, and the chains clinked ominously as they bound him.
