Ch. 31

Demelza Robins

The centaurs dragged Dolores Umbridge for approximately forty-five minutes before dropping here close to the quidditch pitch. Upon hearing some commotion going on, the evil toad of a woman got up to investigate. When she got over and into the quidditch pitch, she saw that the field was surrounded by flowing water that filled the trenches, with a countless amount of boats docked at the entrance she came in through. Then the one person she was determined to extract revenge on flew down to the ground. Harry 'the brat' Potter somehow got his broom back, angering the toad further (since she felt sure it was secured when she 'confiscated' it from him). Then a girl with reddish-brown hair flew down on a Nimbus 2002 (which came out a few weeks ago).

"What is the meaning of this, you brat?" Umbridge demanded from Harry.

"Let's try that again!" Harry retorted.

"Okay, what is the meaning of this?" asked Umbridge in a semi-calmer voice.

"Well, let me explain to you, toad!" Harry sneered, as he and the girl accompanying him approached the undersecretary with nasty glares on their faces. "Since you and that stupid squad of yours went around the castle acting like you all owned the place, it's time you all start receiving your just rewards."

"And who are you?" Umbridge asked the girl, with a sneer in her voice.

"Demelza Robins, Umbitch!" snapped the girl, pointing a finger in the toad's face. "Someone surely taught you the phrase 'what goes around, comes around.' That means you get what you give, you insensitive bitch! Since you gave many of us those so-called detentions by making us use a blood quill without giving us mercy, you and that stupid Inquisitorial Squad won't be getting any mercy from me nor Harry, get my drift?"

Dolores shook her head with overconfidence, but Demelza ignored it as she and Harry returned to the coach's office. Moments later somehow, Umbridge and all who were members of the Inquisitorial Squad found themselves floating towards the boats that were docked. The boats only had enough room for one person each, with Umbridge getting the first boat, Draco Malfoy getting the second, Pansy Parkinson getting the third, Argus Filch getting the fourth, so on and so forth. Draco and Pansy tried throwing tantrums at Harry and Demelza to get them to change their minds, which foreseeably fell on deaf ears.

"You all should be grateful that you haven't been given a much more severe punishment," said Harry slyly. "Once your boat ride is over, you shall start thinking twice before committing any more bad deeds."

"Exactly!" Demelza sneered. She tapped her wand on a makeshift gate, making it open. "Now time for you to receive your comeuppance."

Harry aimed his wand at the water which made it flow faster. Then the boat Umbridge was in kicked upward by itself to make the toad fly up a few feet and land back in the boat as it left the dock. Then the song Into The Mystic by Van Morrison began playing. All of the other boats did the same thing to their respective riders before leaving the dock. Every time Umbridge and her goon squad tried to jump out, they'd hit an invisible shield (which had been added to ensure that there was no chance for escape). The song was also put on repeat just to add more misery to Umbridge and her goons. It took approximately twenty minutes for Umbridge's boat to circle around the field and as soon as it got close enough, the part of the trench close to the starting point started lowering itself. Then the boat circle around the field again (but under the stadium on the second time). After another fifteen minutes, Umbridge's boat reached an underground dock and found herself magically lifted up and out. The other members of the Inquisitorial Squad experienced the same thing.

"What now?!" Draco and Pansy pouted at the same time.

Harry and Demelza walked in through a door that no one else without permission could use. Then they stopped directly in front of the squad, with crossed arms and stern looks on their faces. Harry and Demelza also began tapping a foot on the ground repeatedly before Umbridge opened her mouth to ask what would happen next.

"Did you think we were gonna left you all off that easily?" Harry asked before any words could escape the toad's mouth.

"Alright, Potter, I insist that…!" Draco began growling. But then Harry nonverbally shot a jet of water at the Malfoy scion from his wand. Draco was spluttering as the water continued shooting at him.

"Robins, you'd better…!" Pansy started threatening Demelza, only to receive the same thing as Draco. Demelza cast the spell on Pansy before she could finish the threat.

Looks like two, cranky stu…!" Umbridge started.

Before she could finish, Dolores and her squad were magically lifted up and dropped back in their boats, in the same order. Then Harry and Demelza used spells to strap each member in, to make sure they couldn't use their arms or legs to defend themselves. The entire squad members' begging and mock crying fell on deaf ears as the boats began drifting them away. Harry also cast another charm that lowered some kind of projector screen and it showed Umbridge (from a third person point of view) in the boat, struggling to free herself. As soon as the boat turned a corner, it dumped the toad out onto a chute (followed by the rest of the Inquisitorial Squad). Then they all slid off and onto the steam below, coming from an underground river. The steam was keeping them hovering while gradually causing burns all over.

Harry and Demelza had to hold onto a rail to keep themselves steady, that was how hard they were laughing. The steam eased up, resulting in Umbridge and her goon squad falling towards the boiling underground water. Then they all started getting cooked alive, since the water was already hot enough. After the show was finished, the projector screen disappeared.

"Well, how should we celebrate Umbitch's permanent downfall, my love?" Harry asked Demelza with a grin on his face.

"Maybe we can go for a swim, my handsome Harry!" Demelza suggested, giving Harry a flirtatious purr.

Harry nodded his head ecstatically before grabbing one of Demelza's hands and walking through the door they came in. To their surprise, they saw an underground pond, which intensified their excitement. So Harry and Demelza went into different changing rooms to get into swimsuits. Harry had on a pair of red swim trunks while Demelza came out in a red bikini. Then the two lovebirds jogged towards the water, hand in hand, and then jumped in. Peace was finally restored throughout the castle and everyone else began relaxing. No more unjust detentions with a blood quill, no more educational decrees, no more high inquisitor, no more prison-like environment, and no more lifelong quidditch ban for Harry. Things were finally looking up again.

The End!
