Filtch hacked the hammer onto the nail as he hung up a new script stating, 'Proclamation, educational decree, number twenty three, Dolores Jane Umbridge has been appointed to the of Hogwarts High Inquisitor', within twenty four hours it was the Daily Prophet that Umbridge had taken over, the courtyard was filled with journalist and photographers taking pictures and asking Umbridge questions, Cornelius Fudge announced it to the presenters to, about the falling standards at Hogwarts School. Umbridge walked around the halls, her footsteps making barely any noise, like a mouse, she examined the halls making sure everything was right. Susan Payne and Arthur Parry we're caught kissing in the corridor, Umbridge casted them a part quickly. Sam, Daniel and Dave were walking in the corridor with their shirts and ties messy after class, Umbridge casted them properly almost causing the boys to choke. A time in Divination, Trelawney was explaining something but Umbridge interrupted, "Just one question, dear, you've been in this post for how long exactly"? Umbridge asked.
Trelawney couldn't find a reply to that, "Could you at least predict something for me"? Umbridge asked, Trelawney stood her mouth agape not knowing what to say only managing to spit out, "I'm sorry". "One wincey little prophecy"? Umbridge asked, Trelawney had to think fast, she couldn't just predict something on the spot, everyone exchanged worried looks, "Pity" Umbridge sighed as she wrote something down on the clip board, "No! No! Wait! I think I do see something, yes, I do see something dark, you are in grave danger"! Trelawney warned, Umbridge turned around, "Lovely" Umbridge smiled as she jotted something else down. In the middle of potions class, Snape was about to tell Ron and Adaline to stop talking when Umbridge blindly intervened, "You applied first for the Defence Against the Dark Arts post, is that correct"? Umbridge questioned, "Yes" Snape answered in his bland tone, "But you were unsuccessful"? Umbridge added, Snape internally rolled his eyes, "Obviously" Snape replied, which caused Ron to snicker, as Umbridge walked away Snape swatted Ron over the head with the text book. Fred and George we're setting off fireworks in the courtyard, a few others were enjoying them too, from cheers the crowds turned into awes as Umbridge cancel the flame out with her wand, by the end of the week there was over twenty rules hammered onto the wall, the schools choir had to learn a new song as well instead of the usual song they played.
Adaline had actually started to take a liking to Professor Trelawney, she was nice, made good sandwiches and told loads of interesting but likely false stories. They were walking around the school halls when they noticed Trelawney's luggage being taken out of the school and tossed into the courtyard, "Cho? What's going on"? Harry asked, "Professor Trelawney" Cho sighed. Everyone began to walk towards the courtyard, Filtch brought more and more of her bags out, Trelawney stood there looking as if she was about to cry but her trusty student Adaline was stood by her, the student formed an aisle for Umbridge to walk down to get to the distraught Professor. Trelawney nearly tripped over her bags as Umbridge walked over to them, "Six-Sixteen years I've lived at Hogwarts...Hogwarts is my home, you-you can't do this" Trelawney sniffled, "Actually I can" Umbridge shrugged as she showed a piece of paper, McGonagall had finally got to the scene, she quickly dashed over, McGonagall quickly held her friend, as she began to cry, "Is there something you like to say dear"? Umbridge asked, "Oh there are several things I would like to say" McGonagall snapped back.
The sound of the large two wooden doors opening echoed, everyone turned around, it was no one other than Dumbledore himself, "Professor McGonagall, might I ask you to escort Sybil back inside" Dumbledore instructed, "Thank you Albus" Trelawney sobbed, "Dumbledore! May I remind you that under the terms of Education Decree number twenty three as an act of by the Minister-" Umbridge began, "You have the right to dismiss my teachers, you do not however have the authority to banish them from the grounds, that power will remain with the headmaster" Dumbledore exclaimed, "For now" Umbridge smiled. Dumbledore walked away quickly, "Don't you all have studying to be doing"?! He yelled, "Professor! Professor Dumbledore"! Harry called only to be ignored.
"I mean she is criminal! We're not learning how to defend ourselves! We're definitely not learning how to pass our OWLS, she's taken over everything" Willow exclaimed as she paced the common room, something pricked at Adaline's ears, the radio, she turned it up, "...Furthermore, we have convincing evidence that these disappearances are the work of notorious mass murderer Sirius Black-" The radio crackled, "Harry"! A voice whispered, they all turned around, "Sirius"?! Harry gasped as he raced over to the fire place, "What are you doing here"? Harry asked, "Answering your letter, that you were worried about Umbridge, what she's doing, training you to kill half breeds" Sirius explained, "Sirius, she's not letting us use magic at all" Harry huffed, "Ah, well not surprised, latest intelligence is that Fudge doesn't want you trained in combat" Sirius updated, "Combat? What does he think? We're forming some sort of Wizarding Army"? Ron questioned, "That's exactly what he thinks, that Dumbledore's assembling his own forces to take on the Ministry, he's becoming more carrymore the minute, the others, wouldn't want me telling you this Harry, but things aren't going at all well with the order, Fudge is blocking the truth at every turn and these disappearances are just how it started before, Voldemort is on the move" Sirius explained, "What can we do"? Harry asked, the sound of a door unclicking echoed through the fire, "Someone's coming, I'm sorry I can't be of more help, but for now at least it looks like your on your own" Sirius sighed, the fire soon flickered out, Willow walked over to the window, "He's really out there isn't he"? She gasped, "We have to be able to defend ourselves and if Umbridge is still refusing to teach us, we'll have to do it our own way, with someone who knows how" Adaline demanded, she knew it, war time.
