Ch. 35

(OC) Karley Bell

Dolores Umbridge was having a bad day. Harry 'the brat' Potter made an utter mockery of her. He was the reason the centaurs dragged her away, despite the fact that her insults were the real reason. After the centaurs felt satisfied, they dropped her outside the forest limits before returning to their cave. Once she was back on her feet, the evil toad of a woman began marching back to her office to deal with Harry once and for all. Dolores spotted Harry and, with careful aim, pointed her wand at him and whispered the incantation to stun him. Harry fell backwards as he was knocked out, with Umbridge also adding the featherweight charm before grabbing Harry's wrist and dragging his out-cold body back to her office. Once she was in, Umbridge dropped Harry's still out-cold body in front of her desk and cast some locking charms and privacy wards on the door to ensure that she wouldn't be disturbed.

"Alright, you brat!" Umbridge began her threat once Harry regained consciousness. "I am going to Crucio you to Kingdom Come and leave you in a permanent vegetative state as punishment for you humiliating me in front of those bloody creatures and them dragging me away. I even sent those dementors to your place in the muggle world to silence you for your utter lies about a certain dark wizard having returned to power. Among the reasons I forced you to use a blood quill to write sentences every detention you served with me! But since you'll be in a vegetative state forever, I can keep my crimes concealed and keep on working my way up to become the new minister. Now's the time to silence you once and for all, Potter!"

Dolores raised her wand to and aimed it at a now seemingly-terrified Harry. Before the toad could cast the Cruciatus Curse on Harry, some stunning spells hit Umbridge and caused her to fly back into a chair behind her. She was all dazed as she felt the throbbing pain in her head. Then a brown-haired girl with blue eyes stepped out of the shadows holding some documents in her hands. Dolores came to and recognized the girl as Karley Bell, who's sister Katie was also a Gryffindor, and their father, Kenny also worked for the ministry. Dolores widened her eyes in fear when she spotted the documents in Karley's hand because it contained all of the evidence the toad committed. Harry got up onto his feet all cool and calm, making Dolores realized that his frightened state was all an act.

"You sick, ole hog!" Karley growled at Umbridge. "Using a stupid blood quill on Harry when he didn't deserve such treatment. What made you think that you're above the law, huh? The reality is that no matter who somebody is, they're never above the law."

"We don't just have written evidence, toad!" Harry sneered as he pulled an ear out of his pocket. "This is a portable extendable ear, something I've helped Fred and George out with over the Christmas Holidays."

"And your reign of terror coming to an end, Dolores!" a familiar voice spoke.

Dolores widened her eyes in utter fear when Amelia Bones and several aurors cancelled their disillusionment charms. Kenny himself was also among them and his second daughter handed him the documents. Karley pulled out a second portable extendable ear from her pocket to give to the aurors as more evidence against Dolores. The toad found wands pointed at her as Kingsley Shacklebolt placed her in magic suppression handcuffs.

"Dolores, you're under arrest for all the crimes you admitted to have committed," Amelia told the now-former undersecretary as she was pulled up onto her feet. "You don't have to say anything, as it may harm your defence in court. Anything you do choose to say can be given in evidence."

Dolores glared at the teens as she was led out of the office and outside the castle wards to be apparated to the ministry and into a holding cell to await trial. Then Harry and Karley left the classroom themselves and over to an abandoned one.

"Why don't we dance to some classical music, my sweet Karley?!" Harry suggested.

"Sounds good, my handsome Harry!" Karley replied in agreement. "Anything to keep ourselves distracted from the awful school year, and to celebrate the hag's permanent downfall."

Dobby brought a phonograph as Harry and Karley got ready to dance, they were smiling at each other while gazing into each others' eyes. Once Dobby started the music, the teens began their dancing. Order at the castle was finally restored. No more educational decrees, no more detentions using the blood quill, no more Umbridge ruling the school with an iron fist, no more harassment from the toad, and no more lifelong quidditch ban for Harry. Things were finally starting to look up.

The End!

Author's note 1: I'd like to give a shout-out to 'Ryo-chan wolfgirl' for suggesting that I pair Harry with my OC Karley Bell, Umbridge stunning Harry and dragging him back to her office to extract her revenge, Umbridge revealing her past crimes against Harry, Amelia and the aurors telling Umbridge they heard her confession, Harry revealing that he had a portable extendable ear in his pocket, and that Karley pull out a second portable extendable ear to give to the aurors.

Author's note 2: Another one-shot finished. Which girl should Harry be paired with in the next one-shot? Please let me know in a review or a PM, happy reading!
