A/N: Thanks for the reviews!!!
Chapter 10
The Doctor grinned across the class. He was glad to see that the occupants seemed to be glad about seeing the back of Umbridge. They were all smiling and laughing happily, obviously enjoying Umbridge's nervous attitude.
"Right-o." The Doctor said loudly, taking a seat on Umbridge's desk, "Down to business."
The class silenced immediately and looked up at the Doctor.
"To begin with, I'm the Doctor." He grinned, "Right, so we're going to have a little chat. Umbridge won't tell anyone of this, so you're safe, don't worry." He paused and looked around the class again, before saying, "So, firstly, can anyone tell me, can Umbridge actually teach?"
There was instantly an uproar. The Gryffindors, Ravenclaws and Hufflepuff students all agreed that Umbridge was useless, where as the Slytherins disagreed.
The Doctor waved his hands for silence, and the students quietened, well, everyone except one.
Draco Malfoy got to his feet and glared towards the Doctor, "And why should we talk behind Umbridge's back? She clearly has more right to be here than you. Who are you anyway? Just someone who's come for a wee nosey?"
At that, Ron jumped up, yelling, "Shut your face, Malfoy! No one cares what you think!"
A large number of the class laughed as Malfoy raised his nose in the air and began to blush slightly.
"I'm going to get Professor Snape! He'll sort you out!" Malfoy moved from behind his desk and began to make his way to the door, the rest of the Slytherins following in his wake.
"Right," The Doctor smiled again, "Now that the opposing argument has gone, we can tackle on. So, Dean Thomas, how about you? Do you like Umbridge?"
Dean looked so shocked at the Doctor knowing his name, he practically gaped at him, "How do you know my name?" He asked.
"I'm clever." The Doctor replied simply, "So, what do you think of Umbridge, Dean?"
"She can't teach. She's only here to keep an eye on Dumbledore for the minister." Dean said, his statement confirmed by many nods from the other students.
Hermione put her hand up and the Doctor nodded for her to speak.
"Umbridge is trying to get rid of Dumbledore so that she can take of Hogwarts, and she won't listen to any of us." She explained, "She called Harry a liar."
Many of the class' occupants shifted uneasily in their seats. It was clear to the Doctor that some of them still didn't believe Harry's story about Volemort's return. Should he get involved and tell them that Harry was telling the truth? Maybe he should wait until after their conversation. He didn't want people to go against him already if he took sides.
He just gave Hermione a nod of thanks and turned back to the class before saying, "I must add also, that she uses torture methods for some of her detentions, which I most certainly don't agree with."
He saw Harry's eyes widen. He'd promised Harry that he wouldn't tell anyone about Umbridge's detentions, but he hadn't mentioned Harry, and no one seemed to notice Harry's reaction.
"Yeah, Lee Jordan told us that she made him write lines with his own blood!" Seamus Finnigan told the Doctor.
"The only way we're going to get her out of the school is by all working together." The Doctor explained.
To his surprise, Neville Longbottom stood up, knocking his chair over in the process. He ignored the giggles and looking determined, he loudly said, "Dumbledore's Army."
"What?" The Doctor questioned.
"Dumbledore's Army." Parvati Patil chipped in, "It's the club we've made to learn Defense Against the Dark Arts, seeing we're learning nothing from Umbridge."
"Yeah," Padma Patil piped up, "Harry takes it. He teaches us."
"How many students are part of this club, Harry?" The Doctor called down the class to Harry, who was still sitting quietly in his chair.
"Quite a lot. About thirty I think." He called back.
"So, Harry teaches you lot, and Umbridge doesn't know?" The Doctor then questioned.
"She's suspected something," Hermione stated, "But she hasn't got any evidence, so she can't stop us."
The Doctor practically beamed, "You lot are brilliant!"
At this point, Harry stood up and looked up at the Doctor. All eyes were on him as he cleared his throat and spoke loudly, "We've made a club to defend ourselves, and we've created a rebellion, but there's only one problem." He paused for a moment, as the silence held in the room, "The problem is that we're only kids, nobody's going to listen to us. One piece of evidence, and we all get expelled."
Everyone nodded in agreement. The Doctor didn't say anything, believing that Harry wasn't finished.
"And do you know what we need?" Harry smiled, "We need a Doctor!"
