I had made it back to the Gryffindor common room and was doing some of Snape's homework when Leo, Percy, and Harry. "Hi guys," I said, "Where are Carter and Sadie? Everyone else is here."

That was true. Everyone but Percy, Harry, Leo, Carter, and Sadie was there.

"They were expelled. And Dumbledore was forced to leave. And here's the worst news: Umbridge is headmistress."

He had barely gotten the words out of his mouth when an announcement came from the hidden, magical loudspeakers. It was in Umbridge's sickly sweet vocal tones. "Good Evening students. Professor Dumbledore is now wanted by the ministry and I" She said "I" in such a bragging voice, "am now replacing him. Here are some new rules: Boys and girls are not to be within six inches of each other, there will be no more Quidditch, the transfers will be moved back to their houses instead of up in Gryffindor, and finally, twenty points each will be taken from the students who were in Dumbledore's Army.

"That is two hundred from Gryffindor, one hundred from Hufflepuff, eighty from Ravenclaw, and zero from Slytherin. Good night."

The next day Annabeth, Calypso, Piper, Jason, and Frank moved from Gryffindor into Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw. I saw Leo go over and talk to Fred and George. I wondered what they were discussing.

Later that day I was walking with Harry to lunch when the janitor, Mr. Filch, tapped him on the shoulder and told him to go to Umbridge's office. "The Headmistress wants to see you Potter." he said, "She's going to be making a lot of changes around here. You wouldn't drop Stinkpellets if you knew I could hang you upside down for an entire day, would you?"

He laughed evilly.

After Harry had been gone around ten minutes, and I had finished my shrimp gumbo (Umbridge may be evil, but she had good taste in food.), I was walking out into the Entrance Hall when I heard the Fireworks.
