A/N: Sorry for the delay in updating this story but here the next chapter any way. It's a bit shorter than some but still longer than others. It's just under 1600 words. All rights to respectful owners. As always sorry for the awful grammar. Hope you enjoy :)
The Christmas holidays had flown by but Harry was glad to be getting back to school. Many things had happened over the Christmas break. One being Dumbledore was hanging by a thread as headmaster.
The Dark Lord was pleased with how the basilisk plan was going. As well as congratulating Harry in person with dealing with the Weasley girl.
There was also news with what that Delores had planned for a squad of trust worthy students. As well as plans to expose Granger's little club and hopefully get them all expelled.
So came the time they where all on the Hogwarts express. They strangely did not see the Weasels but they did not really care.
Harry was sitting by the window with Daphne laying her head in his lap as he stroked her hair.
Blaise, Theo and Tracy where in another compartment. While Vince and Greg where with Draco and Pansy who had gone off to taunt people.
The journey back to Hogwarts passed without much incident Harry reading while Daphne napped in his lap and laying on two seats. Draco and Pansy returned but Vince and Greg went to the other compartment. Pansy was reading her magazine and Draco the daily profit. The smear campaign on Dumbledore had increased. But tomorrow Rita was finally going to release the article on the Oaf she had got from them the previous year. Knowing now was the perfect time to use it. It would get rid of him even as game keeper and discredit the old fool even further.
The train soon pulled into Hogsmead station and the group of four went to get a carriage back up to the castle. They did see the Weasels and Granger in the entrance hall and Ronald gave the group of pure loathing that the four just laughed at.
The next day the promised interview appeared and the old fool was nowhere to be seen at breakfast, probably to ashamed to show his big fat face Draco commented
At break a large group of Slytherin's where called to Delores's office all of the fifth years with many others. This was to create the Inquisitorial squad and tonight was going to be the night they caught Granger's little gathering. They all had more privileges than the prefects tho, they had the power to dock and give house points. With other benefits like going to Hogsmead when they didn't have class and what not.
It turned out lavender brown had been drugged with truth potion when umbridge had been interviewing students over the last term and last night and she finally got the information she wanted this morning. But then some awful pimples appeared and the girl freaked out so umbridge put her into a magical sleep and sent her to the hospital wing.
So came the evening and they where laying in wait, when suddenly a burst of students came Charing in every direction.
"After them!" Yelled Umbridge.
Harry knowing some of them could still probably be in the room went in under his cloak.
"Quickly Ron we have to run!" Granger said in a panicked tone.
"Hermione I know!" snapped Weasley.
Harry smirked but noticed a list on the wall. Hardy quietly walked up to it. Harry realising what it was smirked widely.
The list said Dumbledores army with a list of all the members name. This was pure gold and Harry quietly slipped it off the wall and pocketed it. Just them Granger and Weasley took off running. They separated but Harry knew who he was going for and went for Granger.
He saw her running down a corridor and Harry caught up to her.
"Impedimenta!" Harry said. This caused the girl to call out in shock.
"Excellent work Harry." Exclaimed Delores, check the boys bathrooms iv informed Miss Greengrass to check the girls. Delores grabbed Granger by the scruff of the neck. The girl looked at them with absolute loathing in her eyes.
"Of course Professor, oh and I found this." Harry said handing the list to Delores. When she looked down at it her face broke into a wide smile.
"Oh excellent Harry most excellent. Let's see one hundred points to Slytherin for catching the ring leader and and hundred for finding this marvellous evidence."
Harry thanked her and hurried off to round up more. In the first bathroom he checked he found Wealsey.
"Potter!" Weasley shot a feeble stunner at him. Harry just smirked and effortlessly disarmed the boy.
With that Weasley screamed and began charging at him. Harry just smirked and just bound and gagged Weasley with a simple incasarious.
"Ah how delightful it going to be to be rid of you Weasle." Harry laughed coldly and kicked him in the ribs. The boy let out a muffle Yelp of pain. Harry went to retrieve the wand and brought it down to Weasley eye level and smirked snapping it. The boy looked livid at him and tried to lunge at him but could nearly squirm. Which Harry just laughed pocketing the wand pieces and began dragging the boy.
When Harry reached the gargoyle at Dumbledore office he said "Fizzing Wizzbee." Excitedly. Rather than let the revolving staircase take him up he walked up. Dragging the boy still banging his head on the steps. He reached the office door and rather than knocking he just entered.
"Oh Harry excellent caught another I see." Fudge said excitedly.
"Of course Minister. Oh and here the boys wand I assume the ministry will want it for filing reasons." He said after dumping the boy at the feet of Delores. He passed over the remains of Weasley wand.
"Now Harry my boy was that really necessary?" Dumbledore asked disappointedly.
Daphne was also in the room as well.
"Well Harry, Daphne you have done wonderful work you may return to your common room and another fifty points to Slytherin each." Delores said.
The pair thanked her and headed back to the Slytherin common room.
Once they were outside the gargoyle the pair smiled at each other.
"So looks like we could be rid of a few annoyances very soon Harry my dear." Daphne beamed at him.
Harry linked his arm through hers. "You got that right." Harry said smiling back.
They walked in relative silence but where quickly back at the common room. When a cheer blasted through the archway.
Harry and Daphne both smiled and joined the party in celebration of them catching the little group and possible getting slot of fifth out of the castle. The party lasted well into the night. Surprisingly a message came to the common room about an hour into the party that all classes where cancelled tomorrow due to circumstances to be revelled soon. Harry had a feeling what it would probably mean.
So came the next morning Harry was up around eleven due to the late Party and got ready for the day. Knowing lunch would be in an hour. Soon after he was ready he came out to meet a beaming Daphne.
"Harry it's wonderful the old coot is gone!" Exclaimed Daphne excitedly. She handed him a copy of the daily profit.
The title read Delores Umbridge replaces Albus Dumbledore as headmaster of Hogwarts. It read of how the old man was conspiring the over throw the Ministry and how he was training students to be used as solders in his army. It said he had attacked the Minster along with other Ministry officials, students and his own staff. To make his escape. There was a one million galleon price on the old fools capture dead or alive. As well as that there had been a kiss on site order placed on Albus Dumbledore.
Harry and Daphne soon headed up to lunch and took their place at the Slytherin table. When they saw the house hour glasses. The Gryffindor one was hardly full and the Hufflepuff and Ravenclaws did not look much better.
They spotted Granger sitting at the Gryffindor table looked sullen faced but know Weasle.
"Hem Hem!" Called Umbridge.
The hall fell silent.
"Ahh that's better." She said in her sweet voice.
"Now that I can return this school to its former glory with me your head mistress for the near future. But I think it's fair to tell you a certain trouble making boy is no longer part of this school. Mister Ronald Weasley has been expelled and narrowly escaped Azkaban for attacking fellow students. That along with his other bad behaviour this year there was no other choice for him but expulsion. Also it was uncovered that many students was using an out of bound room for conspiracy as ordered by the old headmaster, this room is forbidden to all students unless you have permission. Any student caught in it without my express permission will be expelled. You may return to your lunch students. Oh and I have some curse breakers arriving later today please don't interfere with their work, failure not to will result in most server consequences." She smiled again and went back to the throne like sweet which was reserved for the headmaster or headmistress.
with that talking resumed and everyone continued eating. nobody but Harry tho noticed Grnager starring at Umbridge with loathing in her eyes. The girl looked murderous and with that Harry knew the girl would need dealing with and soon.
