Colin fumed when he saw the newest decree, as if the others that came before it weren't bad enough - it was like this was almost in direct response to the inspection of his shop.
And though what he would do about chocolate had entered his mind it was pushed aside when Colin thought of Emma. He was not going to lose her, not only would it crush Cormac, she had become a daughter to them and there was no way he was going to let Umbridge take her away.
It also made him think of his parents - if they'd still been alive would he have had to get permission to see them as well? And what of the other muggle-born witches and wizards, would they need to get permission to see their families? It was just too much. The woman was going to far with this newest decree.
