Emlyn POV: 

(Time skip to Easter Break)

Since O.W.L.S were coming up, Harry, Hermione, Ron, and I decided to stay at school for Easter break this year. So had many of the other fifth years. It was a stressful time, revising for exams. But I was relieved to find out that Dumbledore had excused Draco from O.W.L.S and averaged his grades in all his classes to get an estimated O.W.L.S grade. 

Draco was still not 100% better, but he was getting there. I checked in on him every two days, just to make sure he was okay. I had tasked Blaise with the job of keeping an eye on him. Blaise had also gotten some help on his task, the lovely lady Astoria Greengrass helped Blaise. Draco and Astoria had started dating. When Draco told me about Astoria, it was the happiest I had seen him in a long while. 

Hermione and Ron were still together. Ginny and Blaise had officially started dating. Harry and I felt like we were the best matchmakers. I was happy and so was everyone else. Things seemed to be going well, and that was fantastic. 

One morning Ron came down to where Harry, Hermione and I were studying, obviously, Ron had slept in. He was holding a piece of parchment in his hand. "Emlyn, I was looking at this fancy Indian potion. I was looking to brew it, but it requires saffron. I have looked everywhere in the potions closet, but I cannot find it." Ron said. "Saffron?" I said, thoroughly confused. 

"Yeah. What's wrong with it?" He asked. Harry, Hermione and I exchanged confused glances. "Saffron is a spice. It is used in cooking." I told Ron. "Can I see that piece of parchment?" I asked. He handed over the parchment. On the top it read, 'Tikka Masala', which was an Indian dish. 

"Ron, this is a recipe for an Indian chicken dish. This is not a potion." I laughed, so did everyone else. "I think you need to do some more revising." Hermione laughed. "Oh alright , alright." Ron said, sitting down.

It was the week after Easter break. DADA O.W.L.S were today. We were all nervous. We went in to take our DADA exam, the desks were spread out and Professor Umbridge, was at the front. She was the only thing over the past few weeks that was being a complete pain in the ass. 

We all took our seats. She gave a speech about the O.W.L.S and how there is no cheating. We all nodded and took out quills. She started a large timer. 

We were working through questions and what not, then the door to the room jiggled and burst open. We were almost done our O.W.L.S when Fred and George flew in on brooms and set off fireworks. 

Umbridge started to chase them. Harry and Hermione followed her. 'Were they in on this with Fred and George?' I wondered. Ron looked at me, completely puzzled. We all ran out to the courtyard when George came back in and ushered us to come outside. 

Professor Umbridge was running to the forbidden forest, followed by Harry and Hermione. "Is this their grand plan to kick her out?" I asked Ron. "I dunno." He replied. 

A few minutes later, Umbridge walked back to the school. everyone was outside now. All the students and the professors. Ron and I stood next to Professor McGonagall, trying to hint to her that we had nothing to do with this. 

Harry and Hermione followed her, smug smirks on their faces. Umbridge was covered in dirt, she looked traumatized. Ron and I could tell the other professors held back smirks. We all knew that they hated her. Umbridge walked up to Dumbledore. "I quit." She said, angrily. then stormed inside the castle. 

Cheers erupted from the students. Professor Dumbledore turned around, all the professors did, accept for McGonagall. "You four, come with me." She said, with a smirk. 

We all walked to her office. She basically forgot about Fred and George. "We had nothing to do with this professor." Ron said. "I know." She started. "I just wanted to thank you. You all did a number on her this year. We all really hated her." Professor McGonagall said. We all laughed. 

"How did you two do it?" McGonagall asked. Ron and I were wondering the same damn thing. "We went into partnership with some of our favorite pranksters and drove her out of the school." Hermione said with a sly smile. Harry had the same one on his face. "Well, it was quite the way to end the year." McGonagall said. 

She then opened the jar of biscuits. "Sweet?" She asked. We all smiled.
