"Harry?" Ginny was looking his way but not at him

"What?" he asked wondering what was up.

"What is wrong with your hand?" she reached out for it.

"Nothing." He replied and slipped his hand under his leg.

"That doesn't look like nothing." She grabbed his arm and tugged on it.

"It's fine." Harry tried to pull away but one of Ginny's friends came and helped her.

"Why do you have words carved into the back of your hand?" the other girl was able to ask first.

"Umbridge." Harry admitted, "She's making me write lines with a blood quill."

"WHAT!" Harry realized not only Ginny and her friend were listening.

"Did you tell McGonagall?" Ginny asked.

"She can't do anything to Umbridge without endangering her job." Harry pulled his hand away and tried to go back to reading.

"You have to tell her." The other girl stated.

"Listen." Harry stood and turned to look at the room in general, "If I tell and McGonagall goes after her she'll get fired. Then who do you think she'll get to be our head of house? I can take a bit of pain. I can't stand the idea of the toad over Gryffindor. She'll treat us all like five year olds at best and prisoners at worst. So just drop it."

Harry left the common room and Ron started after him.

"Is he still saying You Know Who is back even after that punishment?" One of the boys in Fred and George's dorm asked.

"Yes he is because the snake is back." Ron nodded, "Harry doesn't lie or exaggerate. You know he doesn't. Can you really afford to listen to people who don't know him? People who would rather hide their heads in the sand then confront a real problem."

"Then why hasn't he attacked?" a first year asked.

"If you were an evil murder and no one thought you were alive, would you go tell them you were?" Ron asked, "Or would you hide until you got your army in place to take over and then have one battle to win the war."

"The only problem we can deal with right now is Umbridge." Ginny butted in, "As long as she's getting away with it she's going to continue. We need to find a way to stop her."

"I don't want to be the next one writing with one of those quills." McLaggan spoke up, "And if I were you I wouldn't interfere either."

A group of girls surrounded Ginny with a chorus of, "I'm in." or "I'll help."

Ron snuck out of the common room as they began to plan. He'd have to warn Harry that his fan club seemed to be on a war path. Back in the common room Ginny was writing a letter to Tonks. The first prank the girls pulled was rather easy. They had the elves put a tray of canary creams on the teachers table near Umbridge at lunch. As soon as one was taken from the tray the rest disappeared. The entire hall busted up into laughter as an Umbridge sized canary appeared in her chair.

She had just barely molted when an owl flew in with a howler. The disguised voice told her they were coming for her and even the wards at Hogwarts wouldn't stop them. After that a bucket of goo dropped on her head.

"Potter!" she yelled, "Detention."

"Dolores!" McGonagall stopped her, "You haven't even checked to see if he did it. Without proof you can't give a detention."

"She is correct Dolores." Albus agreed, "Proof is required. Harry please let me check your wand."

"Certainly professor." Harry walked up to the head table and Albus touched his to Harry's, "I believe that was the spell from your class wasn't it Minerva?"

"Yes it was." She agreed.

"I demand…" they didn't know what she would demand because at that moment Peeves swooped in and threw a pie at her face.

It wasn't even cleaned off yet when something else poured over her head then another thing flew at her. By the time it stopped she was stuck in a pile of muck up to her waist. Her wand was no longer in her hand and you could barely see her face. Ginny had received a letter during the attack and she slipped out of the Great Hall and made her way to McGonagall's office.

"Ginny!" Tonks was waiting in the office, "Good to see you. Now tell me what's going on."

"Umbridge is forcing students to write lines with a blood quill in her detentions." Ginny told her, "I think it should be illegal. Is it?"

"Very." Tonks agreed and sent off a patronus to her partner, "We need to keep her away from her office until they get here with permission to search the teacher's offices for illegal items."

"About now she's waist deep in food and goo." Ginny grinned, "I'll make sure it continues until they get here."

The fire flared and Tonks motioned her to leave. She ran back to the Great Hall in time to see the last item fall on the woman. All the attention in the room was glued on Umbridge. Not even Albus noticed when several aurors slipped past the partially open doors.

"Who did this." The glob of muck yelled.

No one answered. Dumbledore was still in shock. McGonagall, Flitwick and Sprout were trying to hide their laughter. Snape sneered at her. While the rest of the teachers scooted as far away from the woman as they could without gaining her notice.

"Dolores, would you like help?" Dumbledore asked politely, "I could banish the mess if you'd like."

"No, my wand is in there somewhere." She started digging, "I want you to find the culprit."

"It was me Professor." Ginny stood proudly.

"And me." Lavender stood next.

"Me too." Luna stood from Ravenclaw.

Within a few minutes more than thirty girls from three houses took credit for the job. Before Dumbledore could assign punishment several aurors entered the hall only to stop and talk to Harry for a moment before moving toward the head table.

"May I help you? Dumbledore turned a bewildered look to them.

"No thank you." Tonks gave a smile before she turned to Umbridge, "Madam Umbridge, you are under arrest for using blood quills on minors."

"That's a family heirloom." She was still digging for her wand, "It's not been used."

"Madam we've already tested them and they have current use." Tonks glared, "We have also seen the scars you left on a student. Gentlemen please cuff her."

Shacklebolt and another auror moved around the table and they each grabbed an arm. They couldn't pull her from the muck so they banished it and began to drag her away.

"NO! My wand was in there." She was reaching toward the muck that was already gone.

"You won't need it where you're going." Shacklebolt told her.

"I will have your job for this." She raged, "Cornelius gave me special permission to use that on Potter to shut him up."

"Madam Bones would love to hear all about it." Tonks grinned and winked at Harry as they walked out.

Three tables of students cheered as she was taken out the front door. Everyone resume their seats as the cheering died down.

"I still have some punishment to dole out." Dumbledore sat in his chair looking thoughtful, "I guess five points from each student that sent a spell at Professor Umbridge. Do you think that fair Minerva?"

"I would say so." She agreed, "However I would like to give five points to the one that did the masterful transfiguration on that blue goo. That was truly inspired."

"Five points to each one that used a charm in an effective way." Flitwick added.

"Five points to anyone who used a plant part in their addition." Sprout added.

All three of them turned to Snape who glowered but added, "Five points to anyone who brewed their own potion, if it turned out correctly, and hit her nose with it."

He scowled when several gems tumbled down after he spoke. The Prophet the next morning had a picture of Umbridge and Fudge being put in cells on the front page. They also wrote an article that spelled out that all the bad press on Harry came from the two of them. After the trial they had a lot more on the two. Including how they sent dementors after a fifteen year old boy.
