K, its me again, oh! Almost forgot, did u guys know I don't own "Harry Potter"? Lol, I don't, and will never, own Harry Potter, those books belong to J. K. Rowling. So, please review, I'm very grateful! This chapter is really long, and I wrote most of it after 12:00, wow, it's now 1:03 in the morning… please review and tell be if something is wrong! (Remember this is my first fanfic!)

So the War Begins

"Well, I never thought I could be so worried by a teacher…"

said George to me when we went to the Great Hall for breakfast.

"You know, I was thinking the same thing…" I say as I pile eggs on my plate. Wow, I'm actually nervous about a teacher, Fred Weasley is intimidated by a teacher! Oh, and if you tell anyone, I'll kill you, anyway-

"You know, there's something about her that makes me want to chuck her to the giant squid…" said George after awhile.

All of a sudden, we spot Harry, Ron, and Hermione coming towards us. "Bad luck mate, you got Umbridge first…" says Harry coming closer. "I know first hand she's not the most pleasant person around."

Ya, Harry had to meet her when his trial was held, and we didn't like what we heard. Hermione looks impatient, and eventually says, more to her self, "I don't like this, I don't like this at all…"

"What" I ask?

"This whole Umbrige thing, she was picked by the ministry, and so you know she's not going to be on Dumbledore's side, or Harry's." she says, as though I should have read her mind.

"Ah, well you know," says Harry "She can't be against me like the last Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher was, you know? I mean, after all, he was supposed to be dead, was totally mad, and tried to kill me."

"Well, better luck this year mate!" Says George slapping him on the back.

Well, there's the bell, George and I say good-bye and head for DA.D.A. We take our seats by Lee, and he asks us, "So, how are the, er, the S.S.'s coming along?"

" We got loads of stuff, er, over the summer you might say…" George responds. I mean, we cant really tell anyone where we were. No I'm serious, we can't.

"Ah, right, I'm guessing not from your mum?" says Lee thinking we meant something else.

"Are you kidding? This was our good-bye present" I say sarcastically, pulling out some pixie powder.

"Where the bloody hell did you get that?"

Well, I don't blame him, I mean, this stuff isn't easy to come by.

"Mundungus" says George shortly, and I'm glad he thought of something to say, because I sure didn't.

It seemed to be enough to Lee though. He went to pulling out his book and wand.

"Hem hem" (Oh damn, I forgot she did that annoying little cough-thing…) "Hello class!" She said brightly, making it hard for Lee, George, and I to stop from snorting with laughter. "I'm afraid I didn't hear, you, GOOD MORNING CLASS!

We decide to let this little mix-up pass, well get her for something else.

"Hello Professor Umbrige" the class says, rather half-heartedly.

"I'm looking forward to getting to know you all very well, and having a very productive year, I hope." She says, grinning at us as if we were 5. Gimme a break!

"I wonder what happens if you do this?" I whisper, and point my wand up under my desk, twirl it, and say, "Inotatma." Nothing.

"Ok, my turn," Lee whisper doing the same as I do, but with a flick, and the incantation, "Tutankhamen"

"What was that suppose-" but all of a sudden, some kind of salt spits out of the end of Lee's wand. "It looks like what they used in Egypt to preserve mummies…" said George. "Good one Lee! A bit more practice and you'll have it down!" This game we do helps to pass the time.

"But in order to accelerate," we hear a sudden, sharp voice say, and upon turning around, realize is Umbrige. "Steps must be taken; the Ministry will no longer allow non-productive class work. We will begin with learning spells that you are obligated to be acquainted with for your N.E.W.T.'s You will learn nothing else from hear on out."

Back to her regular high-pitched girlie voice, "Wands away, please"

George and I stare at each other. Wands away? Is she mad?

"I see some of you seem to not have heard me," she says in the same annoying voice. "WANDS AW-" "Half a moment!" I say and stand up, "What do you mean, wands away? This is Defense Against the Dark Arts for crying out loud, how are we going to defend our selves if we don't learn anything?"

"Your hand is not raised Mr. Weasley" she says rather coldly. "But any way, I must contradict you. We will indeed, be learning in my class room. There is simply no reason to be using wands."

"Oh, I see, you expect us to learn it by reading about it I suppose?"

"Yes, Mr. Weasley, that in exactly what I expect." Now she sounds dangerous. "I will have all you know, this method is Ministry approved, so you should have no-"

"So if were attacked by Death Eaters, you want us to read at them!" I couldn't help it, this was unbelievable, George stands up besides me.

"Hold on Mr. Death Eater sir," he says, his face screwed up in concentration, "If you could just stay still long enough for me to read the Full Body Bind curse, I'll cast it on you as soon as I can…" Umbrige doesn't move, her mouth is hanging wide open, as though she intends to eat us all. George takes that as a sign to keep going. "Ok, it says to wave and snap. Petrifocus Totallis!" My arms squeeze tightly against me, but that's all that happens, then my arms are back to normal.

"Um," I say, "I'm going to have to kill you now"

"STOP THIS AT ONCE!" I didn't know who said it, but looking around, I see Umbrige with her face very red.

"How-dare-you?" She stumbles.

"Well, see, we wanted to act out the last few seconds of our life," I say sarcastically.

"There is no reason to believe what-so-ever the there are any of He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named's followers anywhere near us." She says to us and the class.

"Except that's what Dumbledore and Harry believe!" Lee joins us, yelling angrily. Good old Lee…

"Now see here! I will not have my class in an uproar over the visions of a disturbed boy who constantly seeks attention!" all traces of girly-ish-ness gone from her voice.

"Harry is not mad, he's obviously saner than you are! We cant learn spells if we don't ever use them!"

"IF YOU STUDY THOUROGHLY AND READ THE BOOK, YOU WILL LERN HOW TO DO THE SPELLS AND WILL BE ABLE TO PREFORM THEM DURING NEWT'S UNDER MINISTRY SUPERVISION! THERE IS NO NEED TO PRACTICE ANYOTHER TIME!"

"WHAT IS IT WITH ALL THIS MINITREY STUFF! ARE YOU AFRAID THAT WERE GONNA ATTACK THE MINISTRY OR SOMETHING?"

Then the look on her face tells me I'm right on the mark.

"No way," says George.

The whole class looks from Umbrige to Lee, George and me, bewildered looks on their faces, except one girl from Slytherine, who's smiling at me, not smirking, smiling.

All of the sudden, the bell rings, George, Lee and I look at each other, and run out of Umbrige's class, all the while, that girl keeps popping in my head…

"Damn!" Lee exclaims as we walk to History of Magic, "That was the most disruptive thing we have ever done, this calls for celebration!"

He pulls out 3 bottles and uses the refilling charm to fill the once empty bottles with butter-beer!

"Cheers mate!" he says.

"Cheers!" we both say. As we drain our cups I think to my self, and I'm pretty sure George is thinking that same thing, "So the War Begins…"

ok every one! I've finally redone this chapter! I think its ok now… oh well! Please review! Thx!
