THE MORNING AFTER THERE WAS AN ARTICLE displayed at the breakfast table, after previously being mentioned in Percy's letter that Alora was not there to read, yet was informed on. Hermione let out a gasp of sheer terror --- causing Alora to almost choke on her croissant --- when a photo of Dolores Umbridge, was seen smiling and blinking at them slowly from beneath the headline.

MINISTRY SEEKS EDUCATIONAL REFORM
DOLORES UMBRIDGE APPOINTED
FIRST EVER HIGH INQUISITOR

"Umbridge --- 'High Inquisitor'?" Harry grimaced, his half-eaten piece of toast slipped from his fingers. "What does that mean?"

"It can't be that bad, can it?" Alora replied, managing to catch the toast in her hands before it fell onto the floor, she placed it back onto Harry's plate. "Anyone's got to be mental to put Umbridge in a position of power."

Hermione began to read aloud:

'In a surprise move last night the Ministry of Magic passed new legislation giving itself an unprecedented level of control at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

'"The Minister has been growing uneasy about goings--on at Hogwarts for some time," said Junior Assistant to the Minister, Percy Weasley. "He is now responding to concerns voiced by anxious parents, who feel the school may be moving in a direction they do no approve of."

'This is not the first time in recent weeks that the Minister, Cornelius Fudge, has used new laws to effect improvements at the wizarding school. As recently as 30th August, Educational Decree Number Twenty-two was passed, to ensure that, in the event of the current Headmaster being unable to provide a candidate for a teaching post, the Ministry should select an appropriate person.

'"That's how Dolores Umbridge came to be appointed to the teaching staff at Hogwarts,"  said Weasley last night. "Dumbledore couldn't find anyone so the Minister put in Umbridge, and of course, she's been an immediate success---"'

"See, I told you no one would choose her pink-arse willingly!" Alora threw her hands up, "only Fudge and he's a prick---"

"She's been a WHAT?" Harry added loudly at the same time.

"Wait, you two, there's more," Hermione annexed firmly.

'"---an immediate success, totally revolutionising the teaching of Defence Against the Dark Arts and providing the Minister with on-the-ground feedback about what' s really happening at Hogwarts."

'It is this last function that the Ministry has now formalised with the passing of Educational Decree Number Twenty-three, which creates the new position of Hogwarts High Inquisitor.

'"This is an exciting new phase in the Minister's plan to get to grips with what some are callings the falling standards at Hogwarts," said Weasley. "The Inquisitor will have powers to inspect her fellow educators and make sure that they are coming up to scratch. Professor Umbridge has been offered this position in addition to her own teaching post and we are delighted to say that she has accepted."
