Sorry for the hiatus! Lots going on in this so...
Let's get into it.

First Person POV - Y/n

I woke up the next morning and saw the notice on the board that Umbridge had taken over as Headmaster. However, the more interesting part was that everyone found out that Dumbledore had overcome two Aurors, the High Inquisitor, the Minister of Magic, and his Junior Assistant to escape.

Everywhere I went, someone would ask what it was like. It had also become very public news that Hermione and I had enchanted the list and that I had almost gotten the Dementor's Kiss and choked Marietta in Dumbledore's office.

"Was someone recording the entire thing?" I asked as we sat down for lunch. "How does everyone know EVERY detail?"

"Well, news spreads," said Hermione, "Marietta probably told Cho. Cho probably told others, and then others and then others."

"Yeah everyone knows how you almost killed her," said Ron laughing, "It's amusing, honestly."

"Yes, me choking someone is amusing," I replied as we got up to go to Herbology.

We were cornered again and this time I caved and I told the story, leaving out a few parts.

"Dumbledore will be back before long," said Ernie Macmillan confidently as we left. "They couldn't keep him away in our second year and they won't be able to this time. The Fat Friar told m..."

"-the portraits," I said realizing I had forgotten about them, "That's how everyone knows."

"Right," said Harry, "Your Grandpa flipping off Fudge was the best part."

"It was, wasn't it?" I said laughing.

"Did you hear, the Head's office has sealed itself against her," said Ernie. "Apparently she had a right little tantrum..."

"Oh, I expect she really fancied herself sitting up there in the Head's office," said Hermione. "Lording it over all the other teachers, the stupid puffed-up, power-crazy old-"

"Now, do you really want to finish that sentence, Granger?"

Malfoy had slid out from behind the door, followed by Crabbe and Goyle.

"Afraid I'm going to have to dock a few points from Gryffindor and Hufflepuff," he said smiling.

"It's only teachers that can dock points from Houses, Malfoy," said Ernie at once.

"Yeah, we're prefects too, remember?" snapped Ron.

"I know prefects can't dock points, Weasel King," replied Malfoy, "But members of the Inquisitorial Squad-"

"The what?" I asked.

"The Inquisitorial Squad, Emrys," said Malfoy, pointing toward a tiny silver pin on his robes. "A select group of students who are supportive of the Ministry of Magic, hand-picked by Professor Umbridge. Anyway, members of the Inquisitorial Squad do have the power to dock points."

"That bitch," I said rolling my eyes.

"So, Granger, since you're a Mudblood, I'll have five from you-"

"Don't test me Malfoy," I said as I held my wand up to his chin and he stopped talking, "I don't care if you become the Headmistress's personal lap dog, although you basically are, I won't hesitate to spell you into oblivion."
