Yay for inspiration! FINALLY. I've been without inspiration on this story for like weeks now! But I've obviously gotten inspiration again otherwise I wouldn't have updated so YAY ME!
So, as it says in the chapter title, this is an AU where the Legendary Bladers and their friends are at Hogwarts. I've been wanting to write an AU with these dudes at Hogwarts for like so ridiculously long, and here it is! This story takes place during Order of the Phoenix, because I also haven't written a story where I totally bash Umbridge yet. And now I have! UMBRIDGE SUCKS SO I'M JUST GIVING HER WHAT SHE WHOLEHEARTEDLY DESERVES! MWAHAHAHAHAHA!
If you LURV Harry Potter like me, then enjoy! If you don't love it and just like, then enjoy! If you hate Harry Potter, then either click the back button or keep your flames to yourself.
Okay, I think I've covered everything I wanted to say before the story, so Bender, take it away!

Revolting Children (or, Umbridge is Dumbridge)
"BOMBARDA MAXIMA!"
The stone statue of an ugly, toad-like woman wearing a large bow in her hair exploded to bits. The other occupants of the abandoned classroom would have jumped at the explosion, but due to it being the twentieth time in a row, all they did was flinch.
Not even looking up from the book he was reading, Tsubasa waved his wand at the rubble and mumbled, "Reparo,"
The statue instantly repaired itself. Kyoya panted, wiping sweat off his brow, and pointed his wand at the statue again. "BOMBARDA MAXIMA!" m
As the statue exploded once again, Kenta looked over at the classroom door. "You sure no one can hear?"
Gingka looked up from his Transfiguration homework at Kenta. "Pretty sure. Yuki did cast that Muffling Spell." He looked over at Yuki, who was filling out an Astronomy chart. "Yuki, you sure no one will be able to hear all these explosions?"
"Positive," Yuki replied. "Not even Mrs. Norris will be able to hear it."
He then ducked as a piece of statue went flying in his direction.
Kyoya let out a roar of frustration. "WHY ISN'T THIS HELPING?!"
Tithi blanched and scooted away from the fifth-year as far as possible. He was already the farthest person away from Kyoya in the room to begin with, however, so he didn't get very far.
Dynamis looked up from his History of Magic homework as Tsubasa raised his wand again. "Kyoya, you must calm yourself," he said calmly. "Someone might hear you. Or worse, Professor Umbridge might hear you, and she might not find you destroying a statue of herself very funny." Out of their group of eleven friends, Dynamis, a seventh-year Ravenclaw, was the only one who called Umbridge "Professor Umbridge," only because he had been taught from an early age to be respectful to everyone.
Kyoya scowled, glaring at the statue as it repaired itself. "Umbridge," he spat, and pointed his wand. "Reducto!"
The statue disintegrated. Instead of repairing it this time, Tsubasa Vanished the dust away as Kyoya plopped into an empty desk, where his homework sat untouched.
Aguma nodded. "I know just how you feel," he said to Kyoya. "I hate Umbridge."
"Who doesn't?" Chris added. "Well, maybe the Slytherins, but yeah. Did you know she gave me a detention because she thought I was being sarcastic in class?"
"Were you?" King asked him.
"… Well, maybe a little, but not as much as she said I was. She was saying that I was "disrespecting her" and "being rude and cheeky" and other junk like that."
"She gave me and Kyoya detentions, too," Gingka chimed in. "We were walking to class with Hikaru and Madoka, and she gave us all detentions for walked at an improper distance from each other. I mean, I didn't even know that was a rule!"
"Yep," Kenta said to him. "It's one of her Educational Decrees." Then he pitched his voice and quoted, "'Boys and girls are not permitted to be within eight inches of each other.'"
"She gave me and Yu a detention last week," Tithi piped up. "We were trying to find something down in the dungeons, and accidentally stayed out past curfew."
"Yeah, we were trying to find the fireworks Fred and George left me," Yu added. Although he was just a first-year, the young Hufflepuff had bonded almost instantly with Fred and George Weasley, as the three shared an immense love of pranking people. Yu had been very disappointed when they left, but had resolved to visit their new joke shop as soon as he could.
"They left you fireworks?" King asked him.
Yu nodded. "Uh huh. It's too bad Tithi and I couldn't find them before Umbridge caught us, cause I was gonna use them to prank her. Lee Jordan was gonna help."
"That reminds me, I myself received a detention from Professor Umbridge," Dynamis announced. Everyone looked at him in disbelief until he explained, "I was assisting some Hufflepuffs in levitating students up the floors. Some of the Inquisitorial Squad tried to stop us, but I refused, and so Professor Unbridge gave me detention."
Everyone nodded; that made a lot more sense.
"Umbridge gave me and Bao detentions last week," Aguma commented. "We disagreed with one of the points made in those books she's making us read."
Yuki scowled, an unexpected action coming from the fourth-year Ravenclaw. "Don't get me started on those books," he said. "I did some research on their background. Did you know the guy who wrote it is one of the most controversial authors in the Wizarding world?"
"Not surprised," Chris muttered.
"Did Umbridge give you a detention too, Yuki?" Kenta questioned the bespectacled boy.
Kyoya snorted; since he was intelligent, respectful, and therefore liked by most of his teachers (except of course Snape), Yuki had a better chance of getting struck by lightning than he did getting a detention. "Yuki, a detention? No way!" Dynamis, I can see. But Yuki, not for a minute!" He took a swig of pumpkin juice nicked from the kitchens.
"Actually, she did."
Kyoya spit out his pumpkin juice and began to cough. Everyone else looked at Yuki in utter disbelief, chorusing, "Really?"
Yuki nodded. "Unfortunately, yes."
"It's true," Tsubasa confirmed. "I got one for the same reason."
"No way!" Chris declared.
"You actually got a detention?" King asked incredulously. "What'd you do?"
Yuki frowned. "You know how Madame Pince gave me and Mr. Tsubasa those library passes?"
It was no secret that Tsubasa and Yuki spent more time in the library than any of them combined; they spent so much times there that King had dubbed them "Library Buddies." Two years ago, earlier in the year, Madame Pince had caught them reading in the library when they were supposed to be down at the Quidditch match with their fellow students. Instead of kicking them out like all the other times she caught them in the library when they weren't supposed to be, Madame Pince resigned herself to the fact that the two Ravenclaws wouldn't be killing their habit anytime soon, and gave them library passes. These passes allowed Yuki and Tsubasa to spend as much time in the library as they wanted whenever they wanted, as long as they adhered to the library rules and got her permission before going into the Restricted Section. The rest of their friends privately thought Madame Pince was happy to find two kindred spirits in regards to Quidditch, as Yuki couldn't care less about it and Tsubasa had lost interest after losing against Cho Chang in tryouts for the second consecutive time.
Yuki continued with his story. "So a couple weeks ago during the Quidditch match going on that day, Mr. Tsubasa and I were hanging out in the library while Madame Pince was putting away books somewhere else. Then the doors opened, and Umbridge walked in and saw us. She asked us why we were in the library when we were supposed to be down at the match like everyone else. We told her Madame Pince gave us passes excusing us from the match, and even showed them to her."
"Did Madame Pince vouch for you guys?" Gingka asked.
"She tried," Tsubasa answered. "She tried to tell Umbridge that we were telling the truth."
Chris snorted. "I bet she didn't believe you for a second."
Yuki shook his head. "Nope. She took one look at the passes and began accusing us of lying to her and forging them ourselves just to get out of having to watch the Quidditch match."
"Madame Pince told her she was being hypocritical, since she wasn't at the match either, but Umbridge pretended not to hear her," Tsubasa added. "We ended up getting detention for allegedly forging library passes and lying to her."
"And she took away twenty points from Ravenclaw," Yuki finished sourly. "Each!" He now looked like he wanted to grab the nearest copy of Defensive Magical Theory and set it on fire.
"I was wondering why Hufflepuff suddenly had more points than us," Dynamis murmured.
Kyoya slammed his fists down on the desk in rage. "This is not fair! Who does this b—witch think she is, coming in here and acting like a dictator?"
"At least when Dumbledore was still here she had some limits," Kenta said somberly. "But now with Dumbledore gone, she's got no one to stop her."
"Not to mention the Ministry'll approve everything she does," Aguma added.
All this time, Gingka had been sitting quietly at his desk, chin in hand, thinking. Then his eyes lit up and a sly grin appeared on his face. He turned to his friends. "Hey, guys, you know how Umbridge has been having some "problems" lately?"
"You mean all the pranks that were going on last week?" Kenta asked.
Gingka nodded. "Well, I've been noticing that things have been quieting down lately, so what do you say we…" He paused for dramatic effect. "… reignite the flames of rebellion?"
King fixed him with a quizzical look. "Are you suggesting we prank Umbridge's butt off?"
"Pretty much, yeah."
King gave him a long look, then grinned. "I'm in! What do you say, guys?"
Kyoya stood up. "Let's do it!"
"Yeah!" Yu and Tithi chorused.
"Oh, she's going down," Chris said, smiling devilishly. Aguma nodded and said, "I agree to this plan."
"I'm game," Kenta stood up.
"We won't get detentions for this, right?" Yuki asked.
Gingka shrugged. "We'll try not to."
Yuki thought about it, then grinned. "Let's do it! She's going to pay for giving me detention!"
"YEAH!" they all chorused.
Tsubasa and Dynamis looked at each other. "I suppose we will join, for no reason other than to make sure they do not get any more detentions," Dynamis reasoned.
Tsubasa shrugged. "Hey, after unfairly getting detention, I kind of want to get her back, too."
They both nodded in agreement, then turned to their friends. "Can we still join?" Dynamis asked.
"Of course you can!" Gingka replied excitedly. "This is gonna be so much fun!"
Yuki nodded, just as excitedly, then his eyes suddenly caught sight of the watch on his wrist. His eyes popped out of his head, and he sprang up. "HOLY MOTHER OF MERLIN! Guys, if we don't get out of here now, we'll miss curfew!"
Since they didn't want to get any other detentions, they all scrambled to pack up their things, agreeing to meet in the classroom again the next day to discuss what they would do to prank Umbridge.
As they all ran off to their respective common rooms, only one thought was in all their minds:
This is gonna be fun.
Over the course of the next two weeks, chaos ensued for one Professor Dolores Umbridge.
It started in the middle of a Defense Against the Dark Arts class with the first-year Hufflepuffs and Ravenclaws, in which fireworks went off, expelling bright pink, green, yellow, and blue sparks that nearly singed off Umbridge's hair as they all attacked her and just her, for some odd reason not touching the students. When the sparks finished attacking her, some of them came together to form a dunce cap just above Umbridge's head, while the rest formed the words "UMBRIDGE IS DUMBRIDGE" in the air above the dunce cap. They remained that way until the end of class, when they suddenly went out. By the end of class, the entire classroom was in hysterics, and amidst the laughter, no one noticed two small Hufflepuffs in the back of the room, one with orange hair and one with fuchsia hair, giggling and bumping fists.
The next prank, which occurred two days later, wasn't as flashy as the first one, but was still funny, and was employed by Aguma and Bao. The two of them hid behind tapestries on both sides of a hallway they knew Umbridge went down frequently, and when they spotted her walking down the hall, Bao cast a spell that turned the floor to ice, while Aguma waved his wand and cast a Bat-Bogey Hex. Just as they predicted, Umbridge slipped and went flying, and as she landed on the floor, boogers with bat wings began to swarm around her like a disgusting cloud. The best part was, it was during break time, so hundreds of students saw her plight as they passed. Some of the teachers noticed as well, but pretended not to hear Umbridge's shrill screams at them to help. Aguma and Bao slipped out from behind their tapestries, and went on their merry way to Potions, snickering and high-fiving in victory.
Later that very same day, during dinner, the entire Great Hall went quiet as a strange noise suddenly burst out of Umbridge's mouth: "Ribbit." Umbridge clamped a hand over her mouth, but yet another ribbit noise burst out again. Someone began to laugh. Umbridge stood up and opened her mouth to yell, but another ribbit noise came out instead of words. The entire Hall erupted in laughter as Umbridge tried to form words, but all that would come out of her mouth was the same loud ribbiting noise. And amidst the laughter, over at the Gryffindor table was Chris smirking smugly.
The next one to prank Umbridge was King, and for once he put something he learned in Potions to good use. He employed Dobby the house-elf, an elf whom he had met in the kitchens, to slip a tiny bottle of a red-colored liquid into Umbridge's goblet of wine before dinner, and at dinner he watched carefully for Umbridge to take a sip of wine. Almost immediately after she set the goblet down, pink feathers sprouted in her hair and on her robes, the feathers on her robes forming hideously-pink wings. A beak sprouted where her mouth had formerly been, and indignant squawking could be heard over the laughter filling the Great Hall. King laughed along with everyone else, making a mental note to get Dobby a really nice pair of socks.
Kenta and Tsubasa teamed up on the next one, although their prank was a bit less extreme. They snuck into Umbridge's office while she was out making rounds, and used their wands to change all the cat pictures in the frames to recordings of people in ludicrous clothing dancing to what Muggles called "disco music." Then they hung a disco ball from the ceiling and snuck back out. They never did find out what exactly happened when Umbridge discovered it, but during Kenta's Transfiguration class, Professor McGonagall was called down to Umbridge's office, and came back looking very amused.
Dynamis, not wanting to get too involved, didn't prank Umbridge himself. He did, however, assist his friends in their spellwork on their own pranks, and helped to ensure that they wouldn't get caught. Besides, he thought it much more enjoyable to watch the pranks unfold.
The next one to prank Umbridge was Yuki, and his was simple but surprisingly genius. He employed the help of Hermione Granger, a Gryffindor he was on good terms with, to assist him on the spellwork, and the next day when he walked into Defense Against the Dark Arts, he went up to Umbridge and handed her an apple, smiling sweetly at her and explaining that although it wasn't much, he felt it was the least he could give her for all the horrible pranks that had been happening to her recently. Umbridge accepted it, thanking him for the sweet gesture, and set the apple down on her desk. It wasn't until later that day that she took a bite, during the class Gingka and Kyoya, but as soon as she sunk her teeth into it, the apple exploded, giving Umbridge the scare of her life and a face full of soot. The best part was, that since Yuki had given it to her so innocently and respectfully, she didn't even stop to think it was him. When Gingka and Kyoya told him what had happened, all he did was smirk in victory and go down to the library to tell Hermione.
Finally, Gingka and Kyoya decided to team up for their prank, borrowing Kenta's Gobstones set to use it. They arrived early for their Defense Against the Dark Arts class, and set up the Gobstones in various inconspicuous positions all over the classroom. Then later, in the middle of class, the Gobstones went off, and sprayed foul-smelling liquid all over the classroom. Everyone scrambled to get out of the way, but Umbridge wasn't quick enough and so got drenched. Then, safe in the gaggle of students, Gingka pointed his wand at Umbridge's chalkboard and wrote "TAKE THAT, TOAD." in large, capital letters. Kyoya followed underneath with, "'TOAD' ISN'T EVEN A GOOD NAME FOR HER. IT'S AN INSULT TO TOADS EVERYWHERE." Since she couldn't find a way to get the smell off of her quick enough to resume class, Umbridge let class out early. Gingka and Kyoya made sure to do some random, harmless spells to ensure Umbridge couldn't trace their prank back to them.
The teachers most certainly noticed all the pranks going on, but as they did with the many other pranks on Umbridge, they did nothing about it. Although, Professor Flitwick had approached Kenta and Tsubasa one day while they were in the library looking up the right spells to use, and had pointed them to the right ones. Then he gave them both what looked like a wink, told them to use the spells responsibly, and toddled off. Later that day, Kenta and Tsubasa both noticed that twenty points each for Gryffindor and Ravenclaw had strangely appeared in their respective hourglasses.
But all things considered, it was a victory for the eleven friends, and a victory that they would remember and laugh about for the rest of their lives.
Yay, I got it done! Hope you guys enjoyed, and I hope the pranks were funny! EAT ROCK CAKES, UMBRIDGE!
