The next morning, as they were eating breakfast, the Fantastic Four ate at separate tables. Meg was at the Ravenclaw table, Harry was at the Slytherin table, Hermione was at the Gryffindor table, and Ron was at the Hufflepuff table. Umbridge and the other teachers were at the front of the Great Hall enjoying breakfast until, they look up and see the most amazing thing about to happen during a meal.

*Song: Rotten to the Core from Descendants*

*Each gets on top of tables as they sing their lyric*

Meg: They say I'm trouble
They say I'm bad
They say I'm evil
And that makes me glad

Harry: A dirty no-good
Down to the bone
Your worst nightmare
Can't take me home

Hermione: So, I've got some mischief
In my blood
Can you blame me
I never got no love

Ron: They think I'm callous
A low-life hood
I feel so useless
Misunderstood

All four: Mirror, mirror on the wall
Who's the baddest of them all
Welcome to my wicked world, wicked world

I'm rotten to the core, core
Rotten to the core
I'm rotten to the core, core
Who could ask for more
I'm nothing like the kid next, like the kid next door
I'm rotten to the, I'm rotten to the
I'm rotten to the core

Meg: Call me a schemer
Call me a freak
How can you say that
I'm just unique

Harry: What, me a traitor
Ain't got your back
Are we not friends
What's up with that

Hermione: So I'm a misfit
So I'm a flirt
I broke your heart
I made you hurt

Ron: The past is past
Forgive, forget
The truth is
All four: *gestured to Umbridge*

You ain't seen nothing yet

Mirror, mirror on the wall
Who's the baddest of them all
Welcome to my wicked world, wicked world

*Gestures to DA members to join them on the floor*

*Starts dancing aggressively in front of Umbridge*

I'm rotten to the core, core
Rotten to the core
I'm rotten to the core, core
Who could ask for more
I'm nothing like the kid next, like the kid next door
I'm rotten to the, I'm rotten to the
I'm rotten to the core

After the performance, everyone in the Great Hall was applauding, even the teachers, everyone except Umbridge, who walked in front of the Fantastic Four and the rest of the group and said, "Your victory will run out. Soon enough." Meg glared at her adversary and mumbled under her breath, "We'll see who wins in the end." Once breakfast concluded, classes resumed as usual, however, Umbridge kept a watchful eye on Meg for the rest of the day. She even had Pansy follow her a few times just to see where she was going. However, during her off period, Meg managed to go to the Room of Requirement for some alone time to plan out her next move to run Umbridge off. To the dismay of her, Hermione followed her in. When she found her, Meg was sitting by the mirror they used to post pictures for inspiration staring at her reflection. As she pondered at it, Meg heard the voice of Voldemort call her name.

*Song: Angel of Music from Phantom of the Opera*

Hermione: Where in the world
Have you been hiding?
Really - you were perfect
I only wish
I knew your secret
Who is this new
Tutor?
