Ed met Griswald and Mai in the Undercroft, discussing a battle plan.

"Ok, I have a plan." Griswald handed Ed some kind of snail device.

"A snail?" Ed gasped. "What the hell am I supposed to do with a snail?"

"It's a recorder snail." Griswald explained. "Use it to record Umbridge's intercom messages and meet me in the Room of Requirement for when we expose Umbridge live and on air." Ed left the undercroft and went to a speaker.

"All Quidditch matches have been cancelled until further notice." Ed recorded the message. Ed went to another speaker.

"Boys and girls are not to be within ten feet of each other." Ed recorded the message. He went to Umbridge's office, peeping in the door and turning on his recorder snail.

"Anyone who dares cross me and my Headmaster Squad will receive the Cruciatus curse as punishment." Umbridge did not say this over the intercom, but she said it to one of Noir's evil minions. Ed still recorded the message. He ran to the Room of Requirement and opened it. Inside was a recording studio with Griswald there.

"Glad you could make it." Griswald was glad to see Ed. "Take one of these records and take as many word parts as possible and put them onto the records to make Umbridge say whatever you want." Ed used his wand to rearrange the word fragments and place them on the records. Ed decided to play a record.

"I will use the Cruciatus Curse on anyone who defies me!" The Ministry guards began to be suspicious of Umbridge, mistaking it as the real deal.

"Any student who walks out of line will receive the Avada Kedarva charm as penalty." The Ministry's head of Magical Law Enforcement, Pansy Parkinson, began knocking on Umbridge's door.

"Dolores Umbridge, you are under arrest by the Ministry of Magic. Open the door now!" Umbridge did not open the door.

"This is your last warning, open the door or we will Bombarda the door down!" Umbridge pointed a wand at her ear and cast the Reducto spell on her head, blowing it up. When Pansy came in the door, blood was on the walls and her brain and skull were on the floor.

"Guess she took the easy way out." Pansy was shocked at the unholy horror. "Ok, let's go to Hogsmeade and get some donuts!"

The next day, Ed and Al read the paper, saying that Harry was reinstated as headmaster of Hogwarts. Harry, once again the headmaster, had some announcements.

"I will make myself clear." Harry began. "I am nullifying every rule Umbridge has passed, so houses are reinstated, and we will do hands on classwork again. As a special treat, the OWLs have been cancelled."

"Yes!" Edward did not know what the OWLs were, but he was happy anyways. All proclamations made by Umbridge are reversed immediately." The Great Hall began cheering. "Happy Halloween to us all and let the Halloween feast begin!" Ed was munching on his Halloween chicken along with Alphonse. An Owl came to give him a letter. Ed opened it.

Dear Edward Elric,

We have received word on the magical world, and we want your service.

The Briggs Soldiers are doing joint training with the East Command, but we will also be joined by the former Dumbledore's Army. If a vortex opens, it will lead to the East Desert where the training will be held at 900 hours on November 21. Attendance is mandatory.

Sincerely,

Fuhrer Roy Mustang

P.S. The bird bites. The owl bit Ed's finger.

"Well, I know what I have to do, head over to my old stomping ground." Ed had to make his way to the vortex so he could meet with Fuhrer Mustang, who would oversee the training.
