Chapter 13: The Non-Magical Parentage Filing Authority

Umbridge: Ah, Mafalda. Excellent. Ready for another day of ridding the world of filth?

Hermione: Ridding the…

Umbridge: You know, eliminating mudbloods from the wizarding gene pool? Since they stole an actual wizard's magic.

Hermione: How do they even do that without magic to begin with?

Umbridge: Don't know, don't care, I just like feeding them to the dementors. Aren't you getting out, Albert?

Harry: *when no-one says or does anything* Oh, uh, sorry, just fascinated by your conversation. I'll be going now.

Umbridge: Well, straight down to the deep, dark dungeons then *the elevator closes behind them, leaving Harry alone*

Harry: Great, now I have to carry the humour of this fic by myself. Which I guess I do anyway, which makes it a miracle I don't have back problems.

Thicknesse: Hi Albert.

Harry: Oh, uh, hi?

Thicknesse: Whatcha doin' buddy?

Harry: Uh…nothing much, Minister.

Thicknesse: Well, you better start doing stuff, or I'll have to fire you. Haha, nah, I wouldn't do that. It's way too funny when you bring people in for being fake magic users. Anyway, have a good day buddy *immediately turns and walks straight into a wall, and continues to keep trying to walk through it*

Harry: Huh…weird…wonder what's going on with him…

*elsewhere*

Death Eater 1: *struggling with another Death Eater over a wand* The Dark Lord says it's my turn to control the Minister.

Death Eater 2: *trying to keep hold of the wand* No it isn't, I still have another five minutes with him.

Death Eater 1: *trying to steal the wand* No, you've had your hour, it's my turn.

*back at the Ministry*

Harry: *watching the Minister run around in circles, jump randomly, roll forward suddenly, and fire random spells all over the place* …yeah, I'm just going to go *leaves, putting on the Invisibility Cloak once out of sight of the Minister*

*later*

Harry: Now, if I was Umbridge's office, where would I… *sees a group of people making pamphlets, in front of an office with Moody's eye on the door* Well, that's convenient. And disrespectful to Moody, but I hardly expected better from Umbridge. What are these pamphlets even for?

Pamphlet: Muggleborns, And the Very Serious Threat They Pose to The Wizarding Community. And Why We Need to Round Them Up and Put Them in A Ca…

Harry: Yeah, I'm gonna stop reading now and break into Umbridge's office.

Worker 1: Does the disembodied voice know we can hear him?

Worker 2: Do you really care if Umbridge gets robbed?

Worker 1: Yeah, fair enough.

Harry: Now, let's see…ah ha, the Decoy Detonator. Just need to deploy this so these people won't report me to anyone at the Ministry…

Worker 2: Actually, Disembodied Voice, we wouldn't…

Harry: Bombs away *drops the Decoy Detonator, causing a sudden explosion of loud and annoying noises*

Worker 1: SON OF A… *covers his ears as he runs away, while Harry slips into Umbridge's office, seemingly unnoticed*

Harry: Well, first thing's first *yanks Mad-Eye's eye out of the door* Seriously, how did anyone think this was okay? Now, let's see what's in here *pulling out wand* Accio locket? *nothing happened* Yeah, didn't think so.

*meanwhile*

Umbridge: Huh, odd.

Hermione: What's wrong?

Umbridge: I thought I just felt…you know what? Never mind.

*back in Umbridge's office*

Harry: Ooh, Mr. Weasley has a file. Let's see…pureblood, married to a pureblood…strongly support muggles and muggleborns…seven kids, one at Hogwarts, one on his deathbed…currently being watched…member of the Order of the Phoenix…may be contacted by Undesirable Number One. Oh, gee, I wonder who that could be?

?: That would be me *Harry looks up and sees a poster of himself* And by extension that would mean you.

Harry: Gee, thanks me.

Poster Harry: I'm welcome.

Harry: Well, since I'm already crazy enough to talk to myself, is there anything else in this room I should be aware of?

Poster Harry: Well, she's got that Dumbledore book.

Harry: Like I'd be interested in something like *opens to a random page* Dumbledore hanging out with whoever this… *is about to read the caption when the door starts to open, causing him to throw the Invisibility Cloak back on*

Thicknesse: Don't worry everyone, if whoever dropped that thing is hiding in here, I'll take them out *opens the door as wide as possible and marches into the room* Well, looks like there's no-one here.

Worker 2: The disembodied voice was probably under an Invisibility Cloak.

Thicknesse: Excellent idea *pulls out wand* Accio guy under an Invisibility Cloak *nothing happens* Well, I tried.

Harry: *already in an elevator* Well, good thing he's an idiot. Anyway, this whole thing's been a bust. I guess I'd better just find Hermione and…

Ron: *getting into an elevator* Hi Harry.

Harry: Surprised you remembered what I looked like.

Ron: Oh, thank God, I've been saying that to everyone I've met in case it was you.

Harry: And you've probably blown our cover. Excellent. Well, now we've got to get Hermione from the court rooms, so we can… *elevator opens, and Arthur walks in, in conversation with someone else*

Arthur: I'm telling you Wakanda, I can't do it.

Wakanda: And I'm telling you to stop calling me Wakanda. It's Jennifer. Seriously, where'd you even get the name Wakanda?

Arthur: It just sounds so much cooler. And anyway… *sees Harry and Ron* Oh, hi Reg. Hi, Jerky McJerkface.

Wakanda: Arthur, you know he's name is Albert.

Arthur: But Wakanda, you know what he did to Dirk Cresswell.

Wakanda: Ugh, you're hopeless *leaves the elevator*

Arthur: I'm watching you, McJerkface. Always watching.

Harry: And you're always being watched.

Arthur: By you, no doubt.

Harry: No, by…

Arthur: Ooh, this is my floor. But anyway, always watching you. One slip-up, and POW! Right in the kisser. Bye Reg.

Ron: Bye dad.

Arthur: …wait, wha… *doors close*

Harry: Well, that's more cover exposed.

Ron: Speaking of exposing…

Harry: Ron, we've got a courtroom to crash. Probably your wife's.

Ron: Wait, you're on trial again?

Harry: Sure, let's go with that. Whatever gets you down to the courtrooms so I can use you as a human shield if needed.

*down in the courtrooms*

Harry: Hey, does it feel kinda cold down here?

Ron: Yeah, and depressing. Like all the happiness has been sucked out of the world.

Harry: Like all the…oh no, don't tell me…

Dementor 1: Why does it taste like noms just entered the room?

Dementor 2: Don't be ridiculous, we'd see noms if he was here.

Ron: How are we even supposed to know which one Hermione's in? *a door bursts open*

Wizard: But I told you, I'm a half-blood. I've shown you my family tree.

Umbridge: And I told you, I like feeding people to the dementors. Take him away.

Dementor 1: Nom time?

Dementor 2: Nom time *starts dragging the wizard away, who's screaming in terror*

Umbridge: Next: Mary Cattermole.

Harry: That's your wife.

Ron: But you're here Harry.

Harry: As in the guy you're impersonating's wife.

Ron: But why would I want to be anyone else for you?

Harry: Why did we agree to bring you along on this mission? Anyway, prepare to be married in 3…2…1… *shoves Ron out from underneath the Invisibility Cloak*

Ron: I do *notices that Harry is no longer visible, and Marry and Umbridge are staring at him in confusion* …uh…

Umbridge: …what just…you know what? I don't care. Get in the courtroom so I can convict you and send you to the dementors *walks back into the courtroom*

Mary: You wouldn't let them do that to me, would you Reg?

Ron: I'm not Reg, I'm… *gets jabbed by Harry* I mean, of course not honey *quietly to Harry* I hope that hard thing was your…

Harry: No, now get in there.

Marry: Did you say something honey?

Ron: I was just talking to… *gets jabbed again* …no-one.

Umbridge: Ladies and gentlemen, we are gathered here today to witness the union of Mary Cattermole and a dementor's face.

Mary: Wait…

Umbridge: If anyone has a reason why these two should not be wed…

Mary: I object.

Umbridge: No-one then? Great. I now pronounce you…

Hermione: Hey, that's a nice necklace you have there.

Umbridge: Oh, this old thing? *pulls out the locket* Yeah, I've had this for ages.

Harry: Oh, Dolly, why must you lie like that?

Umbridge: *suddenly alarmed* …wait…that voice…no…

Harry: *throwing off the Invisibility Cloak* STUPEFY! *blasts Umbridge*

Yaxley: What the? Cattermole, get him, and you get another mouth present.

Ron: Sorry sir, but he gives better mouth presents than you. STUPEFY! *blasts Yaxley*

Hermione: I got the locket.

Mary: What the hell is going on?

Harry: You just got parole.

Mary: Aren't you the one that arrested me?

Harry: Look, you can stay if you want, but…

Mary: The hell I will. Get me out of…

Dementor 1: The noms are leaving.

Dementor 2: Get the noms.

Harry: Oh for fuck's sake. EXPECTO PATRONUM! *blasts the dementors*

Dementor 1: Noms hurting.

Dementor 2: Retreat from the noms *bursts out of the door*

Witch: What's going on in there?

Harry: Come with me if you want to live.

Witch: You hear that? We're all gonna live *mass cheering*

Harry: Okay, just remember, there are a lot of us here, so we can't just all cram into the one elevator *gets shoved into the elevator with everyone else* Or maybe we can.

Ron: I can't feel my anything.

Mary: Reg, why do you have red hair all of a sudden?

Ron: Ah…well, you see… *elevator reaches the Atrium*

Reg: Mary? Who the hell is that?

Harry: Look, long story short, you may want to leave the co…

Reg: Wait, aren't you Harry Potter?

Harry: I mean, yeah, but…

Reg: HEY EVERYONE, IT'S HARRY POTTER! AND HE'S SAVING US ALL! *mass cheering*

Harry: DUDE! I am literally the last person who should be here. The Ministry will flip its shit when they…

Reg: Thank you, Harry Potter, for saving my wife. If there's anything I can do for you, Harry Potter, just name…

Harry: Please stop saying my name, before…

Yaxley: STOP HIM! It's Harry Potter.

Reg: Oh no, how did they find out that Harry Potter was here?

Harry: You are literally too stupid to function.

Hermione: Harry, come on already.

Harry: Oh, right, *runs and catches Hermione's hand, at the same time Yaxley does* Hi house *Hermione immediately apparates again* Bye house…wait…
