"Malfoy wake up!" He wasn't waking up and I'd been trying to get him up for the last hour. Right, that's it, I'm done. I pick up my wand and use it to start chucking pillows at him. Once I have used them all I summon them back to me, then force them to all fly at Malfoy at the same time. "Success!" I shout as Malfoy crashes to the floor.

"What the hell Granger?" Malfoy mumbles from the floor.

"It's time to wake up! You are the most pathetic wart I have had the misfortune to meet. Well, with the exception of Ron —" Malfoy could be heard grumbling under his breath. "Well anyways wake up! Zakrey brought us our food over an hour ago! Transfiguration starts in 10 minutes and you aren't even dressed." Malfoy's eyes lit up in fear and he ran into the bathroom with his plate of food. After waiting for a while ten minutes I give up, grab my bag, and race off to Transfiguration all by myself.

When I get there class is about to start and Malfoy is no where in sight. He will just be late to class then and I smiled to myself with that thought. I was still smiling to myself when McGonagall walked in followed by — Umbridge.

"Good morning class, could you all please pay attention now class has started. Hello? Thank you now—

"Hem hem," Umbridge interrupts. The whole class McGonagall included groans as Umbridge rises for one of her delightful speeches. "As Hogwarts high inquisitor I would like to remind you all that you need to follow the rules the Ministry has set out for you or you shall be punished." She then sat back down in her chair and smiled her toad like grin.

"Dolores are you sure your alright?" McGonagall asks with a note of concern.

"Of course I'm all right! Why shouldn't I be?" Umbridge huffs.

"Well, the thing is, Dolores, you aren't High Inquisitor at Hogwarts anymore. Why are you even here anyway?" Umbridge let's out a big harrumph and says,

"I think it is you who is crazy, Minerva, I am here on the Minister's orders."

"Right — anyways lets get on with—"

"Sorry I'm late Professor it's all Granger's fault she woke me up late," Malfoy comes racing into the room, trips over Ginny's outstretched leg and crawls into is seat beside me.

"Whatever Malfoy, just sit down and let me teach," McGonagall says with a sigh. I'm growing angry. It is NOT my fault Malfoy woke up late. I tried.

"Ten points from Gryffindor," Umbridge says in her sweet deathly voice.

"W- wh- What?" McGonagall asks, pure confusion written across her face.

"I said, for those of you who could not here me, 'ten points from Gryffindor.'"

"Yes I heard what you said, but why?"

"Because the Granger girl is the reason Malfoy is late and Miss Granger, if I am not mistaken, is a Gryffindor."

"Yes but —"

This was sure to be a long class.

"That toad is absolutely mental! Insane!" Ginny was screaming on our way to Defense Against the Dark Arts. "We have to do something about her! I can't stand it any long—" we entered her classroom to see Umbridge standing in the corner and waiting. "Oh for the love of Merlin —" she walked straight up to Umbridge hands on hips and asks her "What the bloody hell do you think you're doing in my class?"

"Language Ms Potter."

"Weasley."

"Oh I thought you were married to Mister Potter."

"Nope." The class had completely filled in while Ginny was arguing with Ginny so she addressed the class next. "Good afternoon class, today we will work on —

"Hem hem. Excuse me but I think you should have the class do what you've been teaching them Ms Potter—"

"Weasley."

"—Weasley, due to the fact that I am inspecting you." Ginny is boiling with rage.

"Fine people. Take out your wands and make a patronus for the mad woman."

"Temper Ms Potter."

"Weasley!"

"Weasley." And Umbridge starts slowly moving around the class asking people to preform their patronuses. When she gets to Malfoy I get slightly worried. We all know he can't perform a patronus. I look at him, next to me, and give his hand a squeeze. All of a sudden he gets the old Malfoy gleam in his eye and a smirk grows on his face.

"EXPECTO PATRONUM!" and to everyone's amazement something comes out of Malfoy's wand.

"It's a corporal patronus!" Parvati shrieks. And she's right. Slowly it starts to form into—

"A FERRET? OH COME ON!" Malfoy shouts. "OH LOOK NOW ITS BOUNCING! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?" The whole class erupts in a roar of laughter as Malfoy's Ferret patronus bounces around the classroom. I look over and see Ginny is rolling around the floor laughing her head off. I have a strong feeling Harry Potter is going to get a very long letter later.

"Control yourself Ms Potter." Umbridge warns.

"WEASLEY FOR THE LAST TIME MY NAME IS WEASLEY!"

"Well then Ms Weasley if you can't control yourself I'll have to give you a detention."

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I'm sorry Dolores but I'm afraid you can't give a teacher a detention."

"Well Ginevra —"

"Professor?" Malfoy asks innocently.

"Shut up Malfoy."

"No I think you might want to hear this. Professor."

"Fine Malfoy lets here your idiocy and be done with it."

"Yes Malfoy lets," Umbridge cuts in.

"Well as it just happens, this is for you Umbridge," Her toad like grin widens so big you could fit Malfoy in it. "Here goes," and he recites a poem,

"Roses are red,

Violets are blue,

I thought Voldemort was ugly,

Then I saw YOU—"

Malfoy picks up his bag and runs out of the classroom before it can register in her mind. In about five seconds the class is roaring with laughter. Umbridge pulls a flyer out of her bag. I notice it says "Dumbledore's Army still recruiting" but I don't know where it came from. She throws it across the room. Then she picks up her hand bag and chases Malfoy out the door screaming,

"Come back here I will have order!" Ginny walks over to the door, still laughing, and locks it with a flourish.

"Free period people, you all deserve it," she announces to even more cheers and laughter. Then she says," I'm done with that toad. We get rid of her tomorrow."
