Standing next to a long-haired Wizard, her neck enwrapped in a fuzzy pink scarf, is Dolores Umbridge. She looks up from the clipboard in her hand and sees Hermione, then her eyes fall on the wolf.
"Control your pet, will you Albert?" said Umbridge, and Amelia growls louder, her sharp teeth showing. Umbridge looks back up at Hermione. "Ah, Mafalda! Travers sent you, did he? Good. We'll go straight down." smiled Umbridge. She eyes Harry. "Albert, aren't you getting out?"
Harry nods mutely, steps out followed by Amelia. As the lift descends, he watches Hermione's anxious face sink out of sight.
Harry and Amelia passes one gleaming door after anther, glancing down purple-carpeted corridors that stretch into nothingness. Harry and the wolf moves on. Hears voices ahead. Emerges into a wide open space and discovers dozens of witches and wizards sitting at a sea of small desks. Waving their wands in unison, squares of pink paper flit like kites through the air, dropping into neat stacks.
Harry creeps closer, sees that they are pamphlets entitled, "MUDBLOODS and the Dangers They Pose to a Peaceful Pure-Blood Society." Amelia growls at a wizard that is passing by.
As his gaze shifts, he finds the Red-Haired Witch regarding him with fear. She looks quickly away, resumes her work at double-time. Harry's eyes shift again, regard a shining mahogany door across the way. He squints: something is imbedded within the door. He crosses the room, stops dead. Fitted into the wood is an eye . It spins weakly, then stops: Mad-Eye's eye. He looks down to the brass nameplate next to the door:
DOLORES UMBRIDGE
HEAD OF THE MUGGLE-BORN REGISTRATION COMMISSIONAmelia growls at the Red-Haired Witch who is looking at Harry in fear. She quickly looks away, making Amelia smirk inwardly.
Harry reaches into an inner pocket and removes a Decoy Detonator, an odd object with little weaving legs and a rubber-bulbed horn for a body. He releases it and It scuttles down his body, across the floor and directly into the sea of desks. Amelia tilts her head, Harry lifts is brow as if to say 'wait.'
Then... Bang!
Green like smoke billows into the air, pink pages fly everywhere and the Detonator gives birth to dozens of tiny replicants of itself, which race about the floor, up the legs and across the desks of the pamphleteers. Others follow and Harry and Amelia slips into Umbridge's office, closes the door. The room's decor is sickeningly cute. Lace doilies. Dried flowers.
Harry takes out his wand. "Accio locket." as Amelia turns back into her human self. Nothing came flying to Harry.
Harry frowns, glances about. A leaflet bearing his face -- "Undesirable #1" -- lies upon Umbridge's desk, along with photographs of other Order members. Two have a large pink "X" scratched on them: Dumbledore and Mad-Eye.
Harry and Amelia begins to search the office, opening drawers, riffling through filing cabinets Amelia then stops and she Pulls out a file. Inside is a photograph of Hermione and an accompanying DATA SHEET: "Blood Status: MUGGLE BORN" "Whereabouts: Last seen in the company of Undesirable #1." Quickly Amelia replaces the file and searches out Ron's. "Blood Status: PURE BLOOD... Pro-Muggle leanings." "Whereabouts: Last seen in the company of Undesirable #1."
Amelia notices that Harry is beside her looking at it, Amelia then takes another file of hers. "Blood Status: HALF-BLOOD" "Whereabouts: Last seen in the company of Undesirable # 1.""This isn't good..." said Amelia, grimacing.
Amelia and Harry share a look, But She couldn't take him properly since he looked like Runcorn."All right, all right. Let's calm down, shall we?" said a voice from outside. Amelia quickly turned back into her wolf, the colour of the fur still there.
