A/N: OMG! Its a definite sign of the apocolypse, I got the last damn chapter up, woot! I finally found it, I know its been forever but here it is;
They all stood rooted to the floor in shock until a blue blur flashed in front of their eyes. Hunter had been on top of a shelf the whole time and was now running across the room. Hermione started for the door but stopped dead in her tracks as Hunter jumped right through it. "I…I didn't know he could do that." She said. Another few seconds passed then Harry broke in, "we've got to follow them."
Hermione looked at him, "You two go, I've got to make sure Fudge can't repeat any of this." With that Harry and Ron ran to the door, wrenched it open, and flew down the hall.
As they ran, Ron pulled out the Marauders map, "Harry, she's headed for the Great Hall," he said frantically. "Where's Hunter?" Harry yelled back. "Not far behind" Ron answered, "and he's catching up fast, but she's almost there."
They ran for another minute when Ron gave a cry of alarm, "Harry she's there but… She's turning around, oh bloody hell! Filch is coming, but Hunter's found her!" He yelled to Harry, running out of breath. Harry didn't answer, but abruptly stopped causing Ron to run into him. Harry gasped as he stared down the marble staircase. Ghost Umbridge was floating five feet off the ground. Hunter was running up behind her, hissing. "You'll pay!" she screamed, pointing a misty finger at the boys when she saw them. "What is all the…" Filch had arrived.
He stopped mid sentence, his mouth hanging open and gaping wordlessly at her. Then Umbridge's ghost turned, just like Harry had hoped, to see what all the noise behind her was. As she did so, Hunter jumped into her arms and she turned the same icy blue color he was, "What is the…?" But Umbridge was too late, Hunter let out an icy breath and Umbridge screamed one last time, before she slowly begun to fade. Hunter dropped back to the floor, panting slightly, but looking oddly pleased.
Harry turned to look at Filch who was still gaping, "sick, I knew I was…yes, that's it, I really am not feeling well." With that Filch shook his head and walked away. Harry stared at Filch's retreating back. "Sick? What he bloody hell?" Ron asked from behind Harry. Harry turned, shaking his head, "don't ask, just be glad. Now lets get back to Hermione before someone comes out here."
Harry and Ron made it back to the Room of Requirement without any trouble. "Is she gone?" Hermione asked as soon as the door had been shut. Yeah, Hunter got her. Filch saw it all though, but he seems to think he's sick and was seeing things."
Hermione looked worried but said nothing as Hunter had just jumped into her arms. "How are we going to get rid of her?" Ron asked, "we can't carry her out, she's too damn heavy."
Hermione thought for a moment, then a glassless window appeared on the wall where the electric chair had been. Hermione walked over and examined it, "The Forbidden Forest. We'll float her out there, and if we're lucky, the Thestrals will get rid of her for us."
Neither Harry nor Ron objected to this. Together the three of them undid the leather around Umbridge's wrists and ankles, then levitated her body out into the darkness.
They pushed her out farther and farther until their wands would no longer allow it. The tiny dot that was Umbridge fell into the forest. Hey all stepped back from the window, which automatically closed up into a wall again. "And you," said Hermione turning back to Fudge who was no longer unconscious, "You will remember this day until you die, but never shall you speak it. Let what you've witnessed forever remain, on the tip of your tongue, Lanthenaius Vendronicus." Hermione finished this and waved her wand in an, 'X' in front of Fudges face.
Hermione watched as Fudges eyes rolled back in his head then came back again as he blinked, "you, what…? Dolores…I…?" Sure enough, Fudge wore the look that plainly stated he couldn't find the words.
Hermione smiled, "that's what I thought. Now, be a good little Minister and go back to wherever." The three of them pointed their wands at him, the ropes binding Fudge fell to the floor and he scrambled to his feet and ran from the room.
Ron quickly pulled out the Marauders map and they watched Fudge run out of the castle, onto the grounds, and off the paper.
Hermione looked at Ron and Harry who were both back to normal, "We…we did it. I don't believe it, we actually did it." She said happily. The boys watched as Hermione turned back to her regular form.
Silence engulfed them again for several minutes until Harry laughed, "remind me to never use Polyjuice Potion again. Especially to become Malfoy, it's not exactly pleasant being a nasty white ferret." Ron and Hermione laughed. "Parkinson's no picnic either, sure, her voice had a nice evil ring to it, but my god, I've never felt so ugly in my life."
Ron looked around at them and ran his hands over his head, "Ugly? At least you had brains. Bloody hell! I think my IQ dropped by about a thousand, I've never felt so dumb!" said Ron grinning. Hermione slowly glanced around the room, "Well, as nice as this place is, I think we better get out of here."
The next morning, Harry was woken up by Ron who was shaking him and talking way too fast for some who just woke up. "Ron, what do you want?" Harry asked, as he sat up and reaching for his glasses. "Harry, someone found out about last night! And they told Dumbledore!" He said. At this Harry was wide awake and out of bed, "What! How?" He said, as he quickly got dressed. "I don't know, but Hermione does, she's waiting down in the common room."
The boys quickly ran own the stairs and nearly fell as they stopped at Hermiones feet, "What happened?" Harry asked. Hermione laughed, "Filch decided that he wasn't seeing things last night. Luckily, he didn't think there had been a real ghost, he's under the impression it was a joke." She said, smiling at them. "But, what about real Umbridge? And how do you know this?" Ron asked.
Hermione smiled again, "Well, The "real" Umbridge has supposedly moved to the states to stay with her sick aunt. You see, after you two went to bed last night, I thought about how odd it would be that Umbridge just suddenly disappeared, so I wrote a letter, from her to whoever found it. I wrote that she had to rush off to help her sick aunt who lives in America and that she wouldn't be coming back. Then I walked down to her office and left it on her desk. How do I know all of this? Well you see, I got up early this morning to get some homework done and ran into a first year Gryffindor coming back from the library, she was going on about some ghost prank that Filch busted the night before and that some Slytherins had been caught at the scene. I asked her how she knew and she told me some Slytherins had been outside Dumbledores office talking about while they waited for the ones who got in trouble. So, I got up and went down to Dumbledores office to see. Sure enough a group of Slytherins were crowded around waiting, so I hid myself under you cloak Harry, and waited. Not long after, Malfoy and Crabbe came out and went into the story of how they were being blamed for some stupid prank that had taken place during the night. The best part, they were complaining about having two months of detention for 'attempting a senseless prank to frighten students'." Hermione finished, and she was beaming.
Harry and Ron exchanged thrilled glances, "What's their detention?" asked Ron. Hermiones grin turned to a smirk, "The first month they have to clean up after Hagrids new batch of blast-ended Skrewts. The second month they have to clean all the toilets in the school." The boys broke into laughter.
After recovering they made their way down to the Great Hall for breakfast where they were addressed by Dumbledore, "Students, I have some news, It seems our Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher professor Umbridge has left us." He paused as the entire hall was filled with cheers. Dumbledore put his hand up and the room fell silent again, "She has gone to the states to tend to her sick aunt. So, we are momentarily out of a Dark Arts teacher, meaning the class will be canceled until further notice." Dumbledore finished and sat down as the Hall broke into applause again.
For the next two months Harry, Ron, and Hermione followed Malfoy and Crabbe around on their detention time. The real fun began during the second month though, when they had to clean lavatories. The group took to leaving fake vomit capsules they had purchased from Fred and George laying around several different lavatories, stopping up toilets, setting off Filibuster wet start fireworks, and requesting that Moaning Myrtle make as many appearances as possible, especially to do so in odd ways, like flying up through toilets, or sinks. She happily did so.
On one of the last days Malfoy and Crabbe were cleaning, The group made an appearance. Ron stood in the doorway, leaning against the frame with Harry and Hermione behind him, "having fun, Malfoy?" He asked, laughing at the site. Both boys were kneeling on the floor wearing bright yellow aprons and matching gloves. Malfoy looked up and glared at them, "get out of here weasel." He said, not looking at all menacing. "Temper temper, ferret." Said Ron grinning and waving a finger at , Malfoy.
Malfoy stood up, nearly knocking over his soap bucket, "I'm warning you weasley." Said Malfoy, taking a few steps towards Ron who didn't move. "You know Malfoy, that apron looks absolutely smashing on you. And the matching gloves, and look, even the bucket and sponge match. It's so darling." Said Harry, holding back laughter. Malfoy made to pull out his wand but was stopped by bright light blinding him. "I wouldn't do that if I were you Malfoy." Came Hermiones voice, along with the click of a camera.
The three of them begun laughing as Harry chanted, "Smile! Your on candid camera." They took several more pictures then looked at the first one as it fully developed, "how lovely. These really get your good side Malfoy, we'll have to post them on the Gryffindor bulletin board, with a headline that reads, "Malfoy, from bouncing ferret, to floor cleaning housewife." Said Ron, finally bursting into laughter. Then just before Malfoy could throw hexes at them, they were gone, running down the halls back to Gryffindor Tower.
