*Hermione's POV*

Umbridge had returned to our school and we had to get rid of her so we all spent the week preparing for the great downfall of Umbridge! It was to be a very exciting event and to be honest I couldn't wait!

*Malfoy's POV*

They said I couldn't be in it. They said I wasn't the right person for the job. They said they don't trust me. Well I'm going to prove them wrong. Why else would I be walking around the school in the middle of the night hanging up posters that read, "Dumbledore's Army! Still recruiting!" if not for them and their cause? All of a sudden a voice came around the corner and I realize, damn I forgot the invisibility cloak again! We still have it too. I run around the corner as fast as I can and the apple that was in my pocket rolls out and around the corner.

"Come on my sweet. It's this way right? This is the way you said the noise was? We'll catch that naughty student yet!" Great. It's Filch. Mrs Norris must have spotted me, that stupid cat. I watch as Filch stops talking to his dreaded cat and reaches over. He picks up my apple. The second he picks up my apple my heart stops. Not my apple! No!

"No!" I accidentally scream out loud. Oh no.

"What was that?" Filch shouts. "Who's there lurking in the darkness. I'll find you." He starts moving around with his lamp thrust in front of him, peeking into every nook and cranny. I am sure I am going to get caught. I suck in my stomach as far in as I can as Filch moves closer and closer to me. He's about to see me —

"Boogaboogaboogaboogabooga!" The giant shape that suddenly appeared in front of me shouted. I scream very loudly. I even wet my pants. Luckily Filch doesn't hear me because he's screaming even louder than me. "Peevsie scared Filchie! Peevsie scared Filchie! PEEVSIE SCARED FILCHIE!"

"PEEVES!" Filch screams and he runs off down the hall, brandishing his walking stick, after Peeves.

*Ginny's POV*

"Luna where are we going?" We we're heading down the path out of the school. She stops and turns to look at me.

"Why we are heading to the Forbidden Forest of course." Luna replied in a matter of fact way.

"But isn't the Forbidden Forest — well — forbidden? You know, meaning we can't go there."

"Of course Ginny," she replied making me feel stupid. "But when has that ever stopped Harry Potter?"

"But Luna, we aren't Harry Potter." I feel the need to point out.

"So?" And she turns away continuing to walk down the path.

"What are we looking for anyway?" I ask after a couple more minutes.

"Unicorns." She says with a smile.

"Why?"

"Umbridge." And with that she told me to be quiet or I'd scare off the unicorns. I followed her down a path it was obvious she knew well. After many minutes of twisting and turning down a road unseen by me we came to them, the Unicorns. They were sitting together in a clearing. When we came close enough, they all turned their heads and looked at us. One stood up and bounded over to Luna. When Luna reached out and gave it a pat on the head, it became obvious that they must be great friends. I mean, why not? This is Luna Lovegood we are talking about.

We ended up staying with the unicorns for a long while. Luna talked to them and she sang to them while braiding their hair. I sat behind a tree because the unicorns freaked out when I walked over to them.

"It's time." I look up to see Luna looking down at me expectantly.

"It's time for what?" I ask confused. Then she tells me what I need to do, and I raise my wand.

*Neville's POV*

"We didn't all need to go to Weasley's Wizard Wheezes you know," Dean says. I can tell he means it for me to hear, specifically.

"Dean," Seamus warns.

"Sorry, Neville. I didn't mean it like that."

"Yes you did and it's alright." After the war when I killed Nagini, people started treating me better because I'm a war hero, but obviously, well — "What exactly are we getting at Weasley's Wizard Wheezes again? And why are we going?

"We're gonna blow up Umbridge. That's why," Seamus says with a huge grin.

"Which is right up your alley mate," Dean says with a wink.

"Ok look we are here." I say interrupting that conversation. We all walk into the shop. I spot George almost immediately and call out to him. "Hi George!" George starts to walk over to us and he smiles with recognition.

"Hello Neville, Dean, Seamus," he nods at each of us politely. "And what can I do for you old DA fellows?"

"That's exactly why we are here actually," I say to George.

"Yeah, Umbridge is back at Hogwarts," Seamus adds.

"WHAT?" So we tell George the story.

Once we are finished, George looks at us in horror. "You're here because you want to get rid of her right? Here," he reaches over to the nearest shelf and grabs a couple boxes. "Use these." And with that we end up leaving Weasley's Wizard Wheezes with our arms full of merchandise. "Hey hold up boys!" George comes running out the door after us. He chucks is a small bag. "Expandable bag. Got the idea from Hermione." So we pack the bag with our stuff. Then George hands me a note and winks. It reads

Peeves,

Give her hell from us!

The Weasley Twins

*Hermione's POV*

I know that everyone else is carrying out their parts of the plan. I have to prepare as well. I have to talk to the centaurs. That will be the most difficult part of all, but it is essential for this plan to work. Walking down the path to the forbidden forest I feel as though I am walking to my death. This must be how Harry felt when he was going to see Voldemort to die for us. The second I enter the forest everything is quite. It's like the world is on double high volume with the loudest silence ever. All of a sudden I hear a rustle in the trees. It gets louder, and faster, and closer with every passing second. All of a sudden everything stops. Then an arrow flys by, inches from my head.

"Who dares enter our forest?" A voice booms. I am shaking with fear now.

"It is I, Hermione Granger, a friend of Harry Potter. I came to talk to you."

"And what makes you think you have that right."

"I don't. I'm so sorry for thinking you would want to speak to me. I only wanted to seek your guidance."

"She speaks in lies!" He shouts and as the rest of the centaurs shout in agreement I start to tremble.

"I do not lie, the lady who threatened you years ago is back at Hogwarts."

"That pink toad," he bellows, "we are surely rid of her." If I wasn't so terrified I would have laughed.

"You are wrong," I start with force. "Dolores Umbridge, the half breed hater who thinks centaurs are below humans is back at Hogwarts and wants to get rid of you. I seek only your assistance in getting rid of her once and for all."

"We should help her!" A small centaur comes to the front he seems much younger. "This woman seems horrible and sounds like a threat!"

"What happened to Bane?" I ask.

"He can't be here but he would not like us doing this." The centaur who originally spoke to me says.

"Well, would you like to do this?"

"I'll consider." Well that's something Hermione Granger can work with.

***

The next morning—

"Malfoy wake up!" Since we had been living together in the Room of Requirements he was notoriously bad at getting up on time. 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, the class that Ginny taught. "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."

***

I woke up to see the sun coming in the windows. Even though it was almost February there was no snow on the ground. It was perfect "Getting Rid of Umbridge" weather. Due to it being a weekend, I didn't even bother to wake up Malfoy, I just walked down the hallway to the Gryffindor common room to meet everyone. Neville said he and Luna would get permission to go there as well. When I entered the common room everyone else was already there discussing tactics. We end up discussing th active for half the day.

"Hold on a moment," Neville shouted suddenly, "I need to go deliver this to Peeves." And he ran out of the room with a folded piece of parchment in his hand. When he came back he said," we can use Peeves to make a ruckus to get the rest of the school to notice."

"That's an awesome idea Neville." I say and everyone else nods in agreement.

"Don't thank me," he says softly. "Thank the Weasley Twins." Even though I don't quite understand what he's saying I see a tear roll down his cheek so I don't bother to question it.

"Are we ready to do this?" Luna asks.

"Oh I was born ready," Ginny says with a huge grin. Of course she was. Who wouldn't be after yesterday's fiasco? So with that note we all run off into position and wait.

After a good twenty minutes we heard a high pitched girly scream from inside the castle, closely followed by a crash and a song from Peeves that none of us could quite make out.

"That's too bad," I heard Ginny sigh from a little ways off, "I bet it's real good too." Then all of a sudden someone came running out the door. "Positions!" Ginny screams. Then out runs someone.

"Don't shoot!" They shout. That's when I realize it's Malfoy.

"On a normal occasion, I would say 'go for it' but today we need everything we've got so hold your fire, it's just the stupid git." Malfoy looks at me gratefully and he gestures towards the door to let about five other students out where we are.

"Volunteers," Malfoy says. He then breathes gently in my ear, "you're welcome," and gives my ear a small kiss, but I push him into one of the small piles of snow.

At that same moment Umbridge comes flying out of the school. Litterally. It seems as though Umbridge was trying to go the wrong way, so Peeves decided to take it upon himself to get her to the correct exit.

"Put me down put my down!" She's shrieking.

"Oh no missy, I can't put you down yet." He flies her over to where our first position is and drops her their, right on her head. Then Peeves starts singing his song again,

"Umbridge is

Done bridge

So students come and watch!"

He sings it on a seemingly endless loop. I look over at Ginny and see it's taking all of her effort to keep from laughing. Meanwhile Umbridge is struggling like an overturned turtle to right herself and it's hilarious! Once there is a reasonable number of students out on the grounds I nod to Ginny. She gets Luna's attention, and then Luna pulls a special whistle out of her pocket and blows it. It looks like the world is going in slow motion for Umbridge. Her face is full of terror. From the forbidden forest comes the sound of heavy hoof beats. They get nearer and nearer and the ground is shaking. Umbridge is still without the ability to right herself. All of a sudden the beasts emerge from the Forrest. They seem to be pink and fluffy but I can not for the life of me think of a creature that's supposed to look like that.

"Pink fluffy unicorns stomping on Umbridge!" Peeves announces! The entire school erupts Into laughter as that is the exact scene that is played before our eyes! Umbridge is squeaking and squealing with horror as the unicorns rub back and forth over her. After a long while the unicorns get tired or bored or something and they slowly, one by one start heading back towards the Forrest. Ginny is removing their pink and fluffiness as they leave.

By now, Umbridge is exhausted, even though we have barely started on her. She is standing though now. She starts towards me with an angry look on her face, but before she can get very far, she is being chased by some of Fred and George's fireworks. You can see the horror of remembrance in her eyes as she takes off at a heavy run around the grounds. By now some of the staff and almost the entire school is out here with us, being a wonderful audience; clapping and cheering when the time is right.

All of a sudden the time seems right and they set light to the famous dragon. Umbridge shrieks and runs faster than ever before around the grounds.

"She's getting one hell of a workout," I here Slughorn say to McGonagall. All of a sudden Umbridge loses speed and the fireworks dragon explodes around her, engulfing her. After a large coughing fit I stand up front and center for my bit.

"I will have ORDER!" Umbridge screams. "Crucio!" Luckily I dodge it right in time. "Crucio!" She screams again, and again, and again.

Then we both point our wands at each other and I shout "exxpeliarmous!" At the exact time she uses the cruciatous. Our wands fly into the air and at that exact moment Zakrey, a house elf how has decided to give his loyalty to me, apparates and catches both wands in his hands.

"Do not hurt Zakrey's Mistress!" He shrieks then, "AVADA KEDAVRA!" And Umbridge falls backwards, no life left in her face. I call out for the centaurs and they come and lift her up onto their shoulders, carrying her off towards the sunset for it is almost night now. The entire school is clapping and cheering and Zakrey gives me one terrified look and dissaperates.
