I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

So.

I've been thinking. And talking with Draco and Hermione.

And I figure we've got some things we can do.

Annoying her is one thing. But. I think if we plan it right, we could force her to leave. Like, see, if we worked the day out ahead of time, and sort of let everyone know that we trusted, what if I stood up at dinner one night and told her that either she had to leave, or we would. And then she wouldn't, of course, but what if we got most of the students and professors to just walk out?

I think they would. I really do. I think it'd take a day or two of us staying away for it to work, but she can't run a school with most of the students and professors gone.

Maybe we could walk down to Hogsmeade and stay there? Or set up a camp on the grounds? I don't know. But if it takes a day or two, the professors who leave with us could even teach their classes and things while we wait. I'm not sure about food, but Hogsmeade does have some places to eat, and maybe they'd help. Or we could find a work-around with the House Elves, because we wouldn't be in the castle proper, so maybe those rules wouldn't apply any more.

And we could have demands. Like we won't go back until she's gone. And stick to them. And wait her out. It's got to be better than what we've got right now.

Anyways.

That was an idea we talked about.

And speaking of rampaging, had you heard that she's taken the notion to berate all manner of students for bally well ridiculous infractions this week?

One of the first-year Slytherins (Birchmore, I think) loaned his classmate a quill and she preached for five minutes about the unsanitary nature of sharing quills, then made Birchmore sit in the corner for the duration of the lesson. Ernie said Thaddeus Chadwick came and hid in the boys' loo for an hour because Hedigan had been bullying him about the common room. When she found out, she bally well assigned him as Hedigan's fag for the rest of the week.

Just this afternoon I saw her screaming at Lucas O'Leary for not standing to the side of the hallway when a group of purebloods walked by. Told him to come to her office to write lines--I'm sure she'll have that dashed evil quill for him to use, too, what! It's jolly well beyond madness.

Did you see Deirdre Lynch? She's a second year from Gryffindor.

Apparently she got caught sharing a hair-ribbon and Umbridge hexed her hair off, right there in the corridor. Then later Umbridge caught her wearing a scarf on her head and confiscated the scarf because it's not part of the official school uniform.

Yeah. She really doesn't have the sort of head that ought to be bald, y'know?

Sorry. She didn't deserve that. Not like Brown. Now she deserved to be cursed hideous!
