The next morning, the whole school woke up to the delightful tones of Umbridge screaming.
"ALL STUDENTS AND STAFF PLEASE REPORT TO THE GREAT HALL NOW" the high and shrill voice said on a sonorous charm. "YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO GET DRESSED, GET HERE NOW"
Though it was amusing to see the Slytherins in their PJ's (especially Malfoy in his teddy motif PJ's) it was mortifying to stand in the great hall in yours. Especially if you were wearing nothing but a t-shirt and boxers like Harry.
"People are looking at me" Harry whispered
"So? What's new?" Ginny asked rubbing her arms trying to keep warm; she was wearing only a flimsy white nightdress.
"I'm barely wearing anything"
"I know, and you never looked so sexy before" Ginny said her eyes looking up and down his body.
Ron coughed "I don't need to hear or see this" he said
"Then don't Mr Prude, I'm surprised you're even showing your ankles" Ginny said looking at the bottom of Ron's maroon PJ's where his whole ankle was shown.
"Why are we here anyway?" Hermione said, trying to flatten her hair which turned into an afro over night.
"No idea, doesn't Snape look funny in his nightshirt"
"No it's rather disturbing knowing he doesn't wear anything but a large blue shirt"
"ATTENTION STUDENTS"
Everyone turned to see Umbridge…and then laughed. Her hair was in rollers, her face was green and warty, her nose seemed to have grown and she was wearing a big pink fluffy dressing gown.
"SILENCE!! WHEN I FIND OUT WHO DID THIS TO MY FACE I WILL EXPELL THEM IMMEDIATELY!" Umbridge shrieked
The teachers were trying to muffle their laughter. Slytherins were snorting, Ravenclaws were giggling, Hufflepuffs were chuckling and Gryffindors were laughing hysterically.
"I must thank Sirius for the idea" Ginny murmured in Harry's ear
"Ginny, you didn't…?"
"Oh but I did" Ginny said smirking "that will teach the bitch for banning you and the twins from Qudditch."
Mental note: Do Not Get on Ginny's Bad Side! Harry thought.
The five Gryffindors and one Ravenclaw sat in the room of requirements discussing what Hagrid told them.
"Giants can be very nice when they want to though" Luna said softly "I think there is one living in the forest"
"There isn't a giant living in the forest" Hermione snapped "I think we would know"
"But the forest is so big, you wouldn't" Luna said "it would explain Hagrid's injuries"
Hermione snorted
"I'm more worried about Hagrid being sacked than giants living in the forest" Harry said "Umbridge isn't giving him a fair chance"
"I'm really sorry but I was so nervous and-"
"Neville don't worry, it's very understandable. Threstles make people nervous, I wish I could see them" Hermione said
"Do you?" Harry asked darkly
"Oh Harry…"
"Cedric would have wanted us to fight" Harry said "I think tonight we review what we learnt and next term I will teach the patronus…the dementors are already starting to leave the ministry, we need the protection"
Everyone nodded all silently wishing that Cedric didn't die and Harry wasn't always so temperamental.
