5th year

Umbridge, an uptight brown haired witch wearing a horrible pink cardigan was fuming, once again those Potter children were running their mouths about You-Know-Who, there just has to be a way to expose their lies. Turning the corner she came face to face with a twelve year old boy with turquoise hair, on the floor next to him was a small stack of journals. Before she could say anything he spoke:

Boy: "You want to prove that the Potter children are lying, and my, associates, want to change the future, so I have brought back with me a number of journals. Today, at lunch, gather all students, staff, and ghosts, and open the first journal. Good luck Professor Umbridge."

And with that, he was gone, but the journals were still there. Opening the first one and reading the first page a smile spread across Umbridge's face. The smile stayed there as she went about preparing to call the school to lunch.


Lunch time:

Just as instructed Umbridge gathered every person at the school (dead or alive) in the great hall. When she was sure everyone was there she cleared her throat before speaking in a sickly sweet voice:

Umbridge: "hem hem, attention, I have just received a number of journals here that I'm supposed to read aloud to all of you."

Whispers raced around the room as students tried to figure out what the journals were about. Umbridge took the first journal and passed it to Dumbledore. With eyebrows raised Albus took the proffered journal, opened it to the first page, and read aloud, causing all attending to go quite,


Journal 1, page 1

First things first, Professor Umbridge, if you want to prove the lies of the Potter children than you have to do as we say, exactly as we say it. We have broken down the things you need to do in step by step directions, which means, you have to complete the previous step before you can move on. Most of the steps will only have names; these are the names of the people that have to be present for you to continue reading.

**If they are not present than the journals will lock themselves until they are present.**

Step 1:

Minister Cornelius Fudge, Madam Amelia Bones, Alastor "Mad-Eye" Moody, Kingsley Shackelbot, Nymphadora Tonks, Percy Weasley, Audrey Payn

Here AD paused as he sent off a patronus requesting their presence. Within minutes they had all arrived and been filled in, and had been given seats at the teachers table.

Step 2:

Arthur, Molly, Bill, Charlie Weasley.

Bill and Charlie arrived first and were greeted by the boys while Ginny made room for them to sit by her. Then Arthur and Molly came and were greeted with hugs and hi's.

Step 3:

Remus Lupin, Snuffles, Xenophillius Lovegood,

Remus was greeted with cheers from most of the hall as Snuffles ran around saying 'hi' to numerous people before settling in at Harry's feet, Xenophillius was greeted warmly by Star and Luna

Step 4:

Rita Skeeter, Rosemerta, Vernon, Petunia, and Dudley Dursley,

Rita was greeted with stiff nods and Rosemerta came and star had gotten up to greet her but before she could the Dursley's came freezing her in her tracks. Vernon, upon seeing Star started turning a nasty blotchy shade of purple.

Pointing his finger at Star he bellowed:

"You, freak, what have you have done this time!"

he took a step towered her only to have Rosemerta step in front of him with her wand drawn, and most of the hall had gotten to their feet. That's how everyone stayed as AD continued reading.

Step 5:

Viktor Krum and Fleur Delacour, Harry, the truth about Vernon has to be told when they get here.

This statement was meant by a stressed silence. When Fleur and Viktor came they stayed standing in the doorway staring at the drawn wands.

Umbridge: "Well Mr. Potter I do believe it's time for the truth."

Harry stood and Vernon's face turned towards him.

HP: "I don't know what I'm supposed to say,"

DM: "Well, Potter, how about you explain to the hall how Star got the scars on her check."

HP: "Our uncle gave them to her."

Gasps filled the hall and when he continued talking the hall as a whole seemed to hold its breath, but with every word Harry seemed to get more strength until he told them everything,

"He would starve us, lock us in our room or in the cupboard under the stairs and one day, Star took the blame for Dudley dropping a plate and Vernon took the belt to her."

With that Vernon roared and told him to shut his mouth, but with a flick of his wand Krum silences him

"Vernon always beats us if we so much as looks at is wrong he's attempted to starve us on numerous occasions and if it wasn't for Dudley he would have succeeded,"

AD: "Ms. Potter is this true?"

Reaching up to stroke her cheek,

Star: "that is the truth and will remain the truth under any spell or potion (here she looked at Umbridge)

Snape: "why didn't either of you say anything?"

Before they could say anything most of the students answered:"It never came up!"

At the look of shock and most of the adults faces Hermione explained:

"Anytime we find something out about either of them and ask them why they didn't tell us they always answer with it never came up, nothing more and nothing less."

By now Mad-Eye, Tonks, and Kingsley had magiked Vernon and Petunia to a chair and had created a seat Dudley. Fleur took a seat next to Harry and Viktor sat next to Star, with a pointed look from McGonagall AD continued reading

Step 6:

Mrs. Longbottom, Olivander, Dobby, Kreacher, Lucius Malfoy, Narcissa Malfoy,

Dobby and Olivander were greeted warmly, Longbottom and Kreacher were greeted with forced smiles and by the time the Malfoys came Draco had moved to sit between Crabbe and Goyle much to the confusion of the adults.
