Author's note - Sorry for the late update. I've been busy with things, so I've not been able to update as much as I would like too. Plus, if you look at my profile, I have tons of fanfic projects, each from different fandoms. Also, I know that the Harry Potter books would not be published if Harry Potter were real. But for the sake of the fic, it is.

Book Banning

The day before school started, a parent was there from one of the committees to see Umbridge. She wore a very nice business suit and had a presence that spoke that she knew what she was doing.

"What is the committee you represent?"

"I am Mrs. Danbroth from the Committee for Decency in Literacy. We are seeking the banning and placement under lock and key of certain books that we feel are indecent for our children to read.."

"Each book must have a good reason as too why you would want to ban it."

"The first is The Headless Cupid. The young girl in the book is into witchcraft and is teaching it to other children. We first of all do not feel that magic is real. We also do not want our children thinking they can go and practice the things they find in the book because they will either hurt them, fool them into believing something that isn't true."

Umbridge pondered for awhile. Any book that dealt with that could not possibly be good for her at school, especially the community she came from. She took out a piece of paper and scribbled down the name.

"The second is How to Eat Fried Worms. In the book, the little boy eats worms under a dare. We have enough problems with the show Fear Factor. Many of us forbid our children from watching that. Why would we wish for our children to read a book where they would get the idea to do something like that.

'Put Fred and George Weasly into the school, and they could probably get the other students to do it without a book or even their wands, just to see what would happened.' Umbridge shuddered at the thought of the two boys and scribbled down the name. For the person who didn't know better, which was everyone at school, one would just think she was disgusted with the concept of eating worms. She could care less though what stupid things the students did, so long as they weren't in front of her.

"The third and fourth books are The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. These books spread racial problems through the school. I mean, they use that word."

Umbridge didn't want to ask. But, one of the ways to get kicked out of the school was to not seem sympathetic to racial issues. And she personally never cared about the color of the skin. Instead, she worried if the person was a giant-half breed or those blasted centaurs.

"The fifth book we wish to ban is Harry Potter,"

"Harry Potter?"

"I see you've heard of Harry Potter? Well, it is just as with the first book."

Uxbridge gleefully scribbled down the book. "Anymore?"

"No, we feel that a slow start is better then overdoing it and giving the librarian a lot of work to do. Thank you for you time."

"You're welcome," Umbridge nodded as the lady left. "Your defiantly more then welcome.

Author's Note - All of these books are on The 100 Most Frequently Challenged Books of 1900-2000. I have personally read every one of these books and the fact that they are challenged is stupid. Other books on the list have good reason to be contested. Younger readers out there. Only your parent can say you can't read something, not the school or anybody else. That, and yourself. Thankfully, this never happened at any school I've been at.

Lol - These chapters are hard to write because I have to be very devious in the ways Umbridge does the things she does to the school. I know where I want to go with some of them, but if you have any ideas of ways she can make the students lives miserable, so long as they are realistic, I'll take them into concideration.
