Ok EMPERORDRACO7 the next thing I'll try to do is 2 Saiyans and 1 Human to at least try to appease your ever growing need of a chapter from that story ok? Please, for the LOVE OF GOD, not send me several messages saying how I ruined Angel, that I've given up on 2SA1H and all that yadda yadda yadda.
Who enjoyed the last chapter? I hope you did as this is the start of a NEW ARC: The Marauders Map arc. Unfortunately, the next arc happens to be the one where the real plot begins. So sad…
I bet you don't expect Gangus and his forces to be in Azkaban for long, don't you? I still have plans for that cult in the arcs to come, but will he switch sides I have yet to decide on.
Let's get this to 9,000 views.
Please, review, favorite, follow and do anything you can/want to support the story.
Without further ado.

Chapter 36: Found out:
Umbridge on the Run
Wednesday, September 27th, 1993 8:00 AM
The light from the sun peaking through the clouds lite up the 3rd year boy dorms, awaking Neville from a slumber where he thought they had lost, so it was a nightmare really. When looking over at his other friends, Neville was shocked to find that Dean was half on the bed, half on the floor snoring.
Seamus was tangled in his bedding, while Harry sloppily across his bed while Ron hung over the edge of his. Neville looked very confused as to why everyone was even like this in the first place as he had slept perfectly fine during the night despite being exhausted by the events of the previous day.
Looking around the dorm room at the only damage being the slight crack in the window near the far corner of the room, Neville waved his wand, "Reparo." Neville said under his breath. The glass replaced itself back into place and he let out an exasperated sigh, pulled on a robe and slippers before leaving down the stairs into the Common Room.
He stopped at the foot when seeing Ginny, Fred and George already awake sitting near the fire, Ginny curled up against Fred, her favorite brother, though why would scary redhead tell anyone that?
Neville moved across the Common Room and sat in the armchair opposite the couch, "Rough day yesterday right?" Said the 3rd year glancing out of the corner of his eye at the three Weasley's. Ginny smiled and stretched out her arms and legs, "Tough day? Try stressful." A dry laugh coming from her throat, "I wasn't having much fun for I was constantly worrying about my Harry's safety…" A small smile on her face knowing her boyfriend was safe and sound in the boy's dormitory.
Neville grinned chuckling, "What's so funny Nev?" Asked the girl on the couch staring at him in confusion, "That right now up in the room, sloppily, and funny might I add, the boys are pretty exhausted and must not know that they are sleeping like that." Ginny giggled thinking of the position Harry was sleeping in.
Holding a cup of water to her lips, sipping the contents for a good second, Ginny stared into the fire, "I'm so happy that Aragog is dead. Rumors say that he and Harry had a duel pretty much." Taking another sip of her water when someone cleared their throat from the stairs and turned to see Kendall Recor in a nightgown smiling at them, "It's true. Aragog and Harry dueled it out on the Quidditch Pitch. Before that, it was 9 vs 1 in the Clock Tower, which is pretty much in shambles right now." Giggled the 1st year.
George leaned forward, "Heard that Susan Bones took quite a beating attempting to guard Harry up there." A small smile gracing his face, "A brave girl to face down the boss, respect given." Ginny looked over at George, "Is Susan alright? Defending Harry from Aragog must have taken a toll on her taking the frontal assaults meant for Harry?" George faked a smile, "Sure. Susan is fine I hope…" Letting the conversation on that topic die.
Ginny waved Kendall over to the couch, "How is your mom? Being under the Imperius Curse for that long must have taken a toll on her? Didn't see your sister very much except what I saved her…" Ginny said looking over at her friend.
Kendall smiled, "She is fine. Recovering greatly under the care of ST. Roberts hospital back in America. That place though is hidden in the Rocky Mountains on the West Coast of America so no-mags can't find it." The British people in the room turned towards her, "No-mags?"
Kendall giggled rolling her eyes, "Muggles. In America, we call them no-mags, non-magic individuals, just like how you call non-magic people muggles in this country." The others nodded their heads now knowing what that means.
Ginny sighed with a look of torture in her eyes, "I think once this castle gets fixed those spiders should be hunted down and exterminated. None should remain." An evil smirk gracing her lips.
Everyone currently in the Common Room gulped down a lump in their throat as she tightening her fist around her newly powerful wand. Ginny looked up, confusion was written on her pretty face at seeing the others paling.
She raised an eyebrow looking towards Neville, "Eh Nev? Why are you and everyone else looking scared and ready to pee themselves?" Neville chuckled nervously, rubbing the back of his neck, "N… No reason Ginny… Really."
Ginny raised an eyebrow scrunching up her face in a concentration sort of way, "Very well then." A loud gurgling sound soon reverberated around the Common Room and Fred asked, "Is Ron awake?"
Ginny giggled with a blush, "That was actually me… I didn't eat very much yesterday due to the battle hehe… I'm starved." George looked towards her, "Heading down? Or are you gonna wait for Harry?" The question was answered when Ginny stood up, "I'll brave it and go down without him for once. I can't always be by his side, right?"
Everyone just stared wide-eyed at her, "Who are you, and what have you done with Ginny?" Ginny just laughed, "What? I'm just very hungry, which I doubt Harry will even get up in time anyway due to being completely exhausted from facing Aragog." She smiled before bolting out of the portrait hole.
The others just shrugged and got up to join her.
Wednesday, September 27th, 1993 8:30 AM
30 minutes later, while sitting in the Slytherin Common Room, fellow Slytherin, who was never on Draco Malfoy's side and pretty much hates being in this house sat the beautiful and passionate Daphne Greengrass with her loving boyfriend of two years, Jackson Davis, yawning from the lack of sleep last night because of Malfoy's constant horrible dreams of being spanked by none other than his mother.
Daphne smirked, "Malfoy keeping you up again last night honey?" Jackson groaned, "Crying, moaning, groaning, gasping in what sounded like a sexual way, and, last but not least, whimpering like a little girl." He smirked but with a mental shudder.
"Ever since Pansy and couple others, us included, in Slytherin saw Malfoy for who he truly was. Malfoy has been stuck up in the dorms unless it is at classes or meal times. I swear that boy is broken beyond repair." Daphne smirked at hearing that the bitch of Slytherin was broken beyond repair.
"That ferret deserves it." Said Astoria Greengrass from the top of the girls dorm rooms, skipping down them without a care in the world, "Though I know you don't anymore Daphne but didn't you used to have a big crush on Mr. Harry Potter during our 1st year, and I quote 'Look at that brave, 11-year-old dreamboat. Taking on a troll, saving others, I want that kind of man in my life' I mean seriously?" Jackson looked towards her with a look that was half a pout, half a scowl.
"Why did I never know about this?" Astoria giggled, "Maybe because she didn't want to complicate things? Who knows?" The girl shrugged but giggled at the reaction her sister was giving.
Jackson sneered, "Well, at least Potter has Weasley, or else I bet you'd go after him wouldn't you?" Slamming his book shut in anger, he stood ready to leave when the girlfriend of his wrapped her arms around him, not at all worried, "Would it help I got over that little crush of mine on the boy wonder of Gryffindor in March of our first year?" Raising an eyebrow at her boyfriend just waiting for the dense teen to explode in anger once more.
Instead, a shrug was all she got in response.
Meanwhile, outside the castle, Sirius Black was in his dog form avoiding dementors when coming across a hilltop near the black lake and saw the girl who he had heard rumors of her name.
Angel Recor stood there, hands on her hips as she stared at the rising sun in the distance with a couple of Hippogriffs drinking from the lake nearby, "What a beautiful morning." Sighed the happy Ravenclaw. Then a twig snapped behind her, forcing her out of her daydreams, wand poised to see a dirty skinny stray black dog looking at her guiltily.
Angel smiled at the dog, "Hi there buddy. You lost?" She asked after putting away her wand. Sirius, maintaining his cover, zipped over to her, rubbing against the American's thigh awaiting a petting.
"Ha ha ha. A loving little guy aren't you?" Then this frightened her greatly, the dog, it wasn't a dog as it began spelling something in the sand and near the shore after walking over there.
Slowly, the girl approached, with caution only to make out the words, "Sirius Black is innocent" and it shocked her that the dog could form a sentence, in fact, knew to do this at all.
The girl's eyes widened in shock, "Are you really meaning well with this?" It was clear as day seeing the dog give a nod. Angel felt like she was going crazy, a dog nodding? Was the world ending or something of the sort?
While all this was happening, Ginny sat in the Great Hall with her two brothers, Kendall and Neville just waiting for breakfast to get underway, including waiting for the damn rest of the student body to at least show up. They were the only ones there apart from a few Hufflepuffs, who of which were busy chatting away.
Rolling her eyes at the absence of the staff, and, of course, students, Ginny felt like going down to the kitchens to get a bite to eat a lot faster than waiting up here.
The Great Hall was still somewhat in ruin but not as bad as when she had fought Gangus in this very room yesterday just several hours ago.
It was about 9:30 AM when most of the students began pouring into the hall looking for food. Among the horde was, of course, the golden trio smiling and laughing at one another, it brought a smile to Ginny's face seeing her boyfriend laugh.
They sat down at the Gryffindor table with the other couple sitting on the other side of the table while Harry took his saved seat next to the love of his life, who, of course, snuggled into his side sighing gracefully, a smile there.
Harry wrapped an arm around her happily, laying his head down on her shoulder. Ginny giggled before snuggling into his body, "This feels nice." Sighed the redhead girl with a loving smile on her face, "Very, very nice." Harry snickered.
Ginny glared at him, "Don't ruin this perfect moment babe. I didn't get to see you much yesterday, so don't laugh at me for wanting to spend time with you." A sad pout replaced the glare in which broke Harry's laughter, took her face in his hands and kissed her without a second thought.
Through the kiss, Ginny smirked, 'Ah… Victory.' Before deepening the kiss with such passion that it almost dropped them both to the floor.
"Ugh… Get. A. Room. Lovebirds." Chorused much of Gryffindor table while some tried to look away from the snogging taking place this early in the morning.
Ginny giggled, a sound that Harry could never get tired of as it was so full of her love for him, and she whispered, "Old classroom on the 4th floor, left corridor, 5 doors down on the right. Meet me there after a good hearty breakfast." She said seductively, causing Harry to flush with embarrassment.
Ginny smiled before digging into a bowl of eggs while putting some for herself and Harry on their plates, "Can't go wrong without a good hearty breakfast love." She said. Seeing that her loving boyfriend's mouth was slightly hanging open in shock from what had just been whispered in his ear, Ginny used the back of the head of a spoon to shut his gaping maw shut, "Eat." Came that same whisper sending a shiver down the boy's spine.
The brown eyes of the redhead noticed it and smirked widely, "So Ron, Hermione. How are things looking up on your end of the relationship spectrum?" Asked Ron's sister smiling kindly just wanting to know if they were treating each other fairly.
The redhead boy smiled while wrapping an arm over Hermione's shoulder, "Doing well… I hope." Gulped Ron as he spared a glance at Hermione who nodded in confirmation and Ron added, "News update it is going pretty well like I just said." Blushing at the amount of attention that he was getting from blurting that out.
A giggle escaped Hermione's lips, "Ron stop you are embarrassing yourself. I have no idea why you shouted that." Ron shook his head, "Yeah, why did I yell that out in the first place?"
"No idea mate." Said Neville 6 places down from them. Ron pouted at him causing the gang to chuckle, "Hey." Ron snapped indignantly.
Hermione rubbed her man's back soothingly, "Oh come off it Ronald. We are just teasing you, honestly." Ron rolled his eyes exasperated with a major groan.
As this was happening the Slytherins, the actual good ones were plotting on how to humiliate Malfoy once more while Pansy Parkinson and Daphne Greengrass laughed evilly quietly. Blaise sat with both arms crossed over his chest while hearing out the plan against Draco, and would occasionally nod after hearing a part in which could make Draco cry for mommy.
Several Slytherins laughed out loud in which drew some attention from the Ravenclaw table next to them with some raising some eyebrows at the odd timing of their laughter.
Daphne balled her hand into a fist-raising it in the air just a bit, "Tonight I request you all to fill Draco's bed with roaches, even underpants. I can't wait to hear that idiot scream." A smirk gracing her lips.
Jackson threw his girlfriend a thumbs up, "Oh, boy tonight will be very eventful with entertainment." Most of the house of Slytherin nodded their approval.
Snape up at the head table wasn't paying attention to any of the hubbub going on over at the Slytherin table, instead the eyes of the angry man was watching a certain couple at the Gryffindor table hugging, smiling, kissing and many more intimate notions, which made the greasy haired professor disgusted with these displays of affection he wish he could've had with the Potter boy's mother.
Just seeing them right now whispering to each other reminded him so much of Lily and James it hurt to think of it. His dark-ringed eyes just stared at them, catching the brown eyes of the Weasley girl who scowled up at him, growling under her breath before turning away from him.
Snape just sat there befuddled before getting back to eating his dose of a healthy breakfast.
Harry looked at Ginny with a raised eyebrow, "Something wrong? We heard you growl." Ginny glared at Snape once again with a murderous glare before looking into the eyes that mesmerize her very soul, "That bloody git Snape was staring at us with a not so pleasant stare. I hate that man…" Fists balled shaking out of anger, "That man hates our relationship I just know it. After he had declared our Pure True Love bond I saw the pure disgust on his face." Teeth bared in anger.
Harry nodded completely understanding his angry girlfriend, "Just forget that greasy haired git professor, focus on your amazing friends." That seemed to relax Ginny somewhat, "Ok. You are right Harry." Said the fiery-tempered Weasley girl smiling at the boy sitting next to her.
The boy next to her smiled whispering, "Why don't we go to that room for a little private time now?" Like a little child during Christmas Ginny jumped to her feet, snagged Harry's hand in the tight grip of her own before dragging the stumped famous figure out of the Great Hall gathering many stares at their retreating forms.
Dumbledore chuckled, eyes twinkling behind half-moon glasses, a smile under the long grey beard, "Ah… Young love." McGonagall smiled happily at the two of them, "So like James and Lily they are." Sighed the Head of House Gryffindor. Dumbledore frowned and nodded solemnly, "Let us just hope they won't turn out like the aforementioned couple Minerva."
McGonagall sadly nodded, "Yes, I quite agree with that sentiment, Albus." Even though the display of their affection and the ever-growing bond between the two created a smile on the older man and woman's faces.
Wednesday, September 27th, 1993 10:00 AM
Ginny was forced against the wall near the window of the classroom, hands smack against her boyfriends face as they snogged like none other day before this time. Harry's arms were wrapped around her waist, and in record time, hers were around the boy's strong neck as they battled for dominance over another.
A golden shockwave erupted off them, neither taking notice, another, another, and an even bigger one causing the room to slightly shake as Ginny shook her head. Her hair flowing elegantly in the chilly room due to the fire not cackling in the background, though their black Hogwarts robes kept them warm enough, enough to not heat them up while kissing each other senseless.
Ginny smiled with tears of joy spilling from her eyes, down her cheeks and down onto her robes as she poured all her love onto him with this kiss showing how much that Harry meant to her in this very moment. Nothing in the world would ever replace him.
Ginny smirked as another golden shockwave reverberated around the room, unknown to them, as it seemed this burst of magical energy unlocked a new part of their bond. This new found power of the bond would allow the other to sense the other from more than a mile and a half away from each other, and both didn't even know it.
With each passing second of endless passion, the bond grew stronger. Red hair and black hair intertwined with one another as Harry dropped Ginny on the sofa in the corner of the room as they still kissed each other like there was no tomorrow and while this was happening, the snowy white owl of Harry's, Hedwig sat on the windowsill outside looking quite fed up with this already.
Wednesday, September 27th, 1993 10:30 AM
Snape slammed the door shut to the potions classroom, unpocketed the wand from his sleeve and cast a silencing charm on the door, practically seething in anger, "Damn Potter. Damn Weasley. Just why do they act and look like…" Snape trailed off as tears filled his eyes, so unlike the stern, sneering professor of the day's classes.
"L…" Choked for words, "Lily… Why did you have to die? Why did you choose that arrogant James Potter? We could have had Harry…" The regret from calling the long-dead female a mudblood while they attended school still ebbed away in his brain like a termite eating wood.
"My lord, please, don't kill the woman, mother of the boy. I beg of you…" Snape said after witnessing Peter Pettigrew rat out the Potters whereabouts. Voldemort turned to the faithful, devoted, long black haired death eater, "Why so Severus? Is it the thing people call love?"
Snape's eyes betrayed him so, "No, not love." Hoping to hide the truth, but Voldemort saw right through the deception, "You are lying. Severus the woman you speak of is one of which we are trying to eradicate." The grey, snake lover got right up in the follower's face, "A mudblood is what Lily Evans Potter is. No more. No less. She doesn't deserve to live in a world where her kind could so easily cast us aside like vermin." He spat in Snape's face with hatred shown in those… Soulless, evil eyes.
The man fell to his knees and began to weep, "However." Rang the voice of Voldemort through the empty chamber, Snape looked up hopefully, "My lord?"
Voldemort snapped his eyes to the ceiling before looking over the shoulder, "If Lily Potter willingly gives up her son or moves out of my way after I ask. I will spare her, being the only, and I repeat the only exception. Though if the tainted woman is to defy my orders… She will die…"
To this very day, Snape wishes he could just go back to 13 years ago, choke out that filth of a rat and save James and Lily if it only were possible to have a time turner like that...
Wednesday, September 27th, 1993 11:00 AM
"Dobby just wants to thank Harry Potter, for if he didn't listen to dear little Dobby, Hogwarts would have been ambushed without warning." Said Dobby, eyes joyful for the win the defenders of Hogwarts had somehow managed to pull.
Harry laughed as they walked along the outside passage on the 5th floor, which wrapped around to the 5th-floor corridor, and the moving staircase, "No need to thank me, Dobby. If it wasn't for you we would have been cut down left and right most likely. Thank you, Dobby." Dobby's eyes filled with tears, joyful tears at hearing the great Harry Potter thank him.
"Oh, oh…" Tears spilled onto his pale cheeks, "Dobby is most overjoyed at being thanked Harry Potter. How can Dobby not feel ashamed he had made the great Harry Potter mad? Not mad he is." Harry chuckled before sending the free elf on his way.
Dobby smiled, "Goodbye Harry Potter. I hope next we meet it is under better circumstances and not a warning." Snapping his fingers together the elf vanished back to where he came from before.
Wednesday, September 27th, 1993 12:00 PM
Having met with Victoria Stroade and gained an alliance with the younger woman, with a skip in her step, Umbridge glided across the floor, a peachy smirk on her face as she sent a jinx at a couple there to see an auror about a case that they were pushed along the bench away from each other, "What the hell lady?" Shouted the man at Umbridge who didn't even give him the time of day to be looking back to.
As she entered her office in the 4th-floor corridor named Underage Magical Detection or the UMD, the manager stopped her from entering the seat at her desk, "Umbridge." His commanding voice rained out across the office, "Your days are numbered with your scheming."
Umbridge sent him a confused look, "Pardon me, Mr. Alvarez?" Then a note was pushed in her face.
'Someone at the ministry sent this dementor to me. Some sort of glowing blue cat sounding exactly like that toad Dolores Jane Umbridge sent it wanting me silenced for ridding the school of them. I don't know how, but my mind must be writing this…' Umbridge looked freaked out as the disgusting woman began to back away.
"Why that unmistakable face of fear Umbridge? Scared that you have finally been discovered for that attempted murder?" Her manager smirked as she tried to make a run for it towards the door, too late, aurors came in with a few rolls of parchment and the auror in charge of the group, Basto Magline, unrolled his and read out loud for everyone in the office, and the corridor to hear clearly.
"Dolores Jane Umbridge is hereby under arrest for attempted murder by Dementors Kiss on one 12-year-old Ginerva Molly Weasley. Do not attempt to resist or there shall be major consequences. Minister Shacklebolt has permitted you to life imprisonment. Death by Dementors Kiss has yet to be determined... Due to them no longer being in service at Azkaban prison and all…" Said Basto smirking once finished with the warrant.
The aurors drew their wands almost daring for the dreadful woman to run. Umbridge began backing away faster, as did many of her co-conspirators being told their warrants by the other aurors.
Basto growled, "Take them.": Umbridge turned and bolted for the door, knocking it off its foundations as she ran for the floo network on the balcony overlooking the main courtyard square of the ministry.
Basto ran after her firing a stunning spell though it missed entirely, whizzing passed the criminal mastermind dodging from side to side. Grestor sounded the alarm that a convicted escapee was on the run in the ministry that ensured that every auror available was on duty to get her, "DOLORES JANE UMBRIDGE IS ON THE RUN. ANY AVAILABLE COMBAT READY INDIVIDUALS BE READY TO CUT HER OFF AT THE HOUSE ELF INDUCTION CHAMBER."
That announcement came too little to late as Umbridge climbed into the nearest floo in a dark, daft, dusty office and shouted out in a whisper, "Gangus Manor," disappearing into the dark green flames in a snap.
Meanwhile, Stroade was sitting in the living room, breezy it was, all the holes in the walls served as an entry point for the rain as well as many pestering bugs.
Suddenly, barely turning on, green flames appeared in the floo and out tumbled Umbridge onto the dusty ground face first of all things. Victoria quickly locked the floo network as a precaution.
Victoria was there and helped her ally to stand, "What in Merlin's name happened Umbridge?" Voice shaky thinking aurors were about to burst from the flames without knowing that the other person in the room had just a cast a spell at it locking it shut.
"I was found out attacking the Weasley girl, don't know how." They then looked each other in the eye, "I want our plan to be set for October 15th and for it to be executed no later than October 27th. Understand?" The woman sneered at her partner, glaring stupidly at the dark haired woman.
Victoria scowled, "From what I recall I am the leader here Dolores." It was obvious that the younger woman was a more talented witch and seemed the toad looking woman would lose, a smirk crossed her lips at the plan again, "Sorry. But the plan must be executed by the 27th." She pursed her lips in a slight annoyance.
Victoria nodded with an evil smirk as they both glanced up through a destroyed hole in the roof of the destroyed, ransacked Gangus mansion to bear witness to about 6 dementors waiting for a command from their superiors.
The two criminal masterminds shared a pleased look, "Then come the day of October 21st we shall see the death of one Harry James Potter, no one will oppose us afterward, Harry Potter is their knight in shining armor." Said Victoria with excitement etched in her voice.
Umbridge crossed both arms over her pink attire, "Our plan will work according to plan if there are no obstacles. Dementors would suffice, drag him into the sky, drop him at about 1,000 meters into the sky the boy will be dead the moment he hits the ground. Teehee." They both went and started tea as the last remaining Cult of Gangus members flooed over to be in on the plan.
So it was set. On October 21st, 1993, forces of the Cult of Gangus would send all their dementors to Hogwarts in an attempt to silence The Boy Who Lived… Once. And. For. All.
This couldn't have made Dolores Jane Umbridge any happier than the woman is now.
