« The Hogwarts High Inquisitor »

I couldn't wait for the Daily Prophet that morning since there was going to be something according to Percy. 

When I looked at the front page over Hermione's shoulder, I gasped. 

"Ahh! My face is burnt!!" I joked. "Oh wait, that's Toadette." 

The Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, and Ravenclaw table laughed. 

Umbridge gave me a dirty look, and motioned me to come to the staff table. I rolled my eyes and went up to her with everyone's eyes on me. 

"Yes?" I asked, rolling my eyes and internally gagging at Umbridge's face. 

"Detention, tonight, Ms Cullen, for not respecting your elders." Umbridge said with her annoying giggle. 

I looked at Harry, Ron and Hermione's faces, and they were horrified. I shrugged and went to my table, where Harry started freaking out. 

"How will I know she won't do something worse to you? She's horrible." Harry stressed. 

"Calm down Harry, if she hurts me more, I'm strong enough to stand her detention, and her disgusting face. Hermione, could I look at the Prophet?" I said, gesturing to the Daily Prophet in her hand. 

She was still horrified when she handed me the newspaper that had Umbridge's ugly face plastered on the front of it. I ignored it as best as I could and I read the passage: 

In a surprise move last night the Ministry of Magic passed new legislation giving itself an unprecedented level of control at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

"The Minister for Magic has been growing uneasy about goings-on at Hogwarts for some time" said Junior Assistant to the Minister for Magic Percy Weasley. "He is now responding to concerns voiced by anxious parents, who feel the school may be moving in a direction they do not approve."

This is not the first time in recent weeks Fudge has used new laws to effect improvements at the wizarding school. As recently as 30 August, was passed, to ensure that, in the event of the current Headmaster being unable to provide a candidate for a teaching post, the Ministry should select an appropriate person.

"That's how Dolores Umbridge came to be appointed to the teaching staff at Hogwarts," said Weasley last night. "Dumbledore couldn't find anyone, so the Minister put in Umbridge and of course, she's been an immediate success, totally revolutionising the teaching of and providing the Minister with on-the-ground feedback about what's really happening at Hogwarts."

It is this last function that the Ministry has now formalised with the passing of Educational Decree Number Twenty-Three, which creates the new position of Hogwarts High Inquisitor.

"This is an exciting new phase in the Minister's plan to get to grips with what some are calling the falling standards at Hogwarts," said Weasley. "The Inquisitor will have powers to inspect her fellow educators and make sure that they are coming up to scratch. Professor Umbridge has been offered this position in addition to her own teaching post, and we are delighted to say that she has accepted."

The Ministry's new moves have received enthusiastic support from parents of students at Hogwarts.

"I feel much easier in my mind now that I know that Dumbledore is being subjected to fair and objective evaluation," said Lucius Malfoy, 41, speaking from his Wiltshire mansion last night. "Many of us with our children's best interests at heart have been concerned about some of Dumbledore's eccentric decisions in the last few years and will be glad to know that the Ministry is keeping an eye on the situation." Among those 'eccentric decisions' are undoubtedly the controversial staff appointments previously described in this newspaper, which have included the hiring of werewolf Remus Lupin, half-giant Rubeus Hagrid and delusional ex-Auror, 'Mad-Eye' Moody.
