Y/N POV
That little bitch.
Malfoy called Anne a Mudblood? She's so sweet, she did nothing to deserve it!
For the past couple of days, I've been waiting for the Slytherin Trio to try to follow me, but little did those idiots know I set a trap for them. With Madam Pince's help, who hated Umbridge too, she helped me make the Slytherins think I was out of bed after hours. I had to make sure that I was within eyesight of them so they would get the idea and once they try to "catch me in the act," I use my coat to turn invisible and cast spells on them. The only way Pince would let me do this was that I agreed to help sort books and she would give me an alibi. It was part of my Prefect duties anyway.
Good thing Crabbe and Goyle are really f***ing stupid.
I told Hermione, Harry, Ron, Lana and Anne about my plan a while ago, Ron and Harry wholeheartedly agreed.
"That's a good plan!" Harry said. "I love it."
"Yeah, no-one deverses to be called that ever," I said. "If this works, I'm not caught and Draco learns his lesson."
Before I told them, I looked at the fire and froze it for a while so Umbridge wasn't able to be a prick and not care about privacy. I took every precaution to make sure this plan worked. If I can't do anything about Umbridge publicly, I'd do it secretly to defy her and the Ministry.
Hermione was really skeptical about this plan, but she agreed with it. "Please promise me you'll be safe when you're going through with this," She said as she caressed my cheek. "I don't want Umbridge torturing you again."
"Neither do I, Love," I said with a kiss on her lips. "I'll make sure to get back here without those pricks knowing."
"Thank you, Y/N," Anne said as she hugged me. "I can't believe you're doing all this."
"Of course," I said as I ruffled her hair and she giggled . "I really hate it when people are called that."
"You should have seen Y/N when Malfoy said that to me," Hermione said as she kept her arms around me. "He was really pissed. That was back when we were best friends."
"And I'd do it again in a heartbeat," I added.
"I know you would," She said with a smile and kissed me. "My hero."
"Okay, you have got to tell me how you both met and your entire life stories after this," Anne said with a smile. "It sounds so adorable!"
"Oh yes," I said as Hermione put her head on my shoulder. "We'll tell you everything: How we met, the dates we went on, our first kiss, everything." I looked at the time. "I've done this routine for a few days, I bet they'll try to catch me this time. I'll be back soon."
I got up as Hermione kissed me and Anne hugged me again and began my routine. I walked towards the library, and caught Goyle's eye. I did hear what they thought were whispers and smirked to myself.
'The idiots bought it,' I thought to myself. 'Now, take the bait.'
I entered the library, which was dark enough for my needs, removed a book from the shelves and lit my wand with, "Lumos." I sat there as I heard the door open, and a voice yelled out, "Come out, Lovegood!"
"We know you're here!" Crabbe yelled.
"God, they know you're supposed to be quiet in the library, right?" I muttered. "Anyways..." I stopped the light from the wand and muttered, "Invisibilia", making me completely invisible along with my clothes.
"Where'd he go!?" Goyle yelled.
"I dunno!" Crabbe said. "We could bring him to Umbridge! And we'd win the House Cup."
"I don't care about the Cup!" Malfoy shouted at them. "I need to get Lovegood. Pathetic Mudblood sympathizer. That Cotton girl, she's not just a Mudblood, she's a Mudblood orphan. And Granger's a Mudblood bitch."
How dare he say that about them.
I remembered something that I could try. It was something Grindelwald did when he escaped MACUSA, He changed his voice to match one of his followers. So I tried to change my voice to match one of the ghosts around and talk in the American Accent I developed two years ago. Good thing they didn't know jack about Muggles.
"Crabbe... Goyle...." I said in my best ghost voice. "MALFOY!!!!!!!!"
"W-W-Who was that?" Goyle stuttered.
"You have caught my attention for many years now..." I said. "And I am ANGRY!!!!!"
"Stop it," Malfoy said. "You're not real."
'But of course, I am, idiot," I said again. "I am a friend of Muggles and Muggle-borns. But I HATE biased pure-bloods like you pricks. They know me by many names... but I am known... as BEETLEJUICE!"
I moved my wand to knock some books off the shelves to give the illusion that I was a ghost. It was a good thing they didn't know about my ring either, since I teleported on top of the shelves. "YOU HAVE ROYALLY PISSED ME OFF FOR THE LAST TIME, BOYS!" I yelled in the voice. "YEAR AFTER YEAR AFTER BLOODY YEAR, YOU PUT PREJUDICE ON MUGGLE BORNS! AND I AM HERE TO TEACH YOU A LESSON!"
"Ventus Maxima," I muttered in my normal voice as gusts of wind blew in through the library. "HAD ENOUGH, ASSHOLES!?!" I shouted.
"Please stop!" Goyle begged.
"Hmmm... how about... NO!" I shouted again. "Glacius Maxima," I muttered again in my own voice, making the room much more colder. I kept knocking off some books off the shelves, making them think they really was a ghost around until I decided, "Tell you assholes what. I'll stop. NEVER. CALL. ANYONE. A. MUDBLOOD!"
"Never!" Malfoy yelled.
"I SAID NEVER CALL ANYONE A MUDBLOOD!" I yelled again. "OR DO YOU WANT ME TO THROW YOU INTO THE DAMN WALL!?!"
"Okay, okay!" Malfoy said. "We won't, I swear!"
"Now to seal the deal!" I said as I stopped the wind and cold. "Say my name three times."
"Why?" Crabbe asked.
"SAY MY NAME!" I yelled again.
"Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice!" They said altogether.
"Pleasure doing business with you assholes," I said. "Goodnight!" And I punched them all in the face, knocking them all out.
"F***ing idiots," I said with a grin on my face. I waved my wand and all the books went back into their spots as I poked them in the head with my wand. I then teleported back back into the Gryffindor Common Room and muttered, "Visibilis", appearing in front of Ron, Harry, Hermione and Anne, who was sleeping on Hermione's lap.
"You're done with your plan?" Ron asked.
"Yep," I said. "They're all asleep in the library."
"What did you do?" Hermione asked.
"Let's just say," I said with a grin. "Those Slytherins believe Beetlejuice exists in Hogwarts."
Hermione laughed softly and so did Harry. The only ones not laughing were Ron, who didn't know what Beetlejuice was and Anne, who was asleep.
"We'll see how everyone reacts in the morning," I said.
"Bet Umbridge will be seen as a joke now," Harry grinned. "I've got to hit the hay. Ron, you coming?"
"Yeah, sure mate," Ron said. "But what's a 'Beetlejuice'?"
As the boys left, I sat down next to Hermione, who smiled and kissed me. "Beetlejuice?" She asked. "That was actually brilliant, if Anne heard it, she would be laughing out right now." She gestured to the sleeping girl in her lap.
I brushed some of Anne's hair out of the way of her face. "She's cute while she's sleeping, isn't she?" She asked, still smiling. "And look who she's holding in her hands."
I looked down to find her holding Snuffles in her hands like how Hermione had done when we first adopted him. And next to her, Snowball curled up and purred in her sleep. They were all fast asleep. "Guess we have to tell our story to her tomorrow, don't we, 'Mione?" She didn't respond.
"Hermione?" I looked at her, who had fallen asleep on my shoulder and was softly snoring. I carefully wrapped my arm around her, kissed her on her temple, and whispered, "I love you, babygirl." I saw a small smirk on her face and she nuzzled her head into my neck and whispered, "I love you too." and kissed my neck.
Hermione POV
The next day, nearly all the students, including the five of us, the Weasley twins, Luna, Ginny and Anne were crowded outside the library as Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle woke up, befuddled and scared. "What happened here!" Umbridge shouted.
"We saw Y/N Lovegood here last night!" Crabbe yelled. "After hours!"
"Oh, was he?" Umbridge said as she turned to us. "I believe you deserve another detention, do you?"
"He does not," Madam Pince said to Umbridge as her sadistic smile decreased in size. "As a Gryffindor Prefect, he asked if he could help sort books last night. I was here last night."
"That wasn't all!" Goyle yelled. "There was a ghost here! Called himself Beetlejuice!"
As everyone heard that name, they all laughed at the three Slytherins and pointed fingers at them, calling them, 'dumb' or 'stupid'.
"Dolores, if you don't mind," Professor McGonagall bitterly said to her. "Would you remove your foolish squad out of the way so us teachers may actually teach?"
Lana covered her mouth as she heard her. We also had seen Umbridge try to sack Trelawney and ban the Quibbler cause of Harry's interview, so it was nice for her to be put in her place. As Umbridge's face recoiled in disgust, McGonagall turned to us and winked. A couple of classes later, nighttime finally came around as the D.A meetings came along. Y/N, Harry and Lana had been seeing loads of improvement from everyone from the last couple of meetings, so they decided on something exciting. But before we could do that, I wanted to show something to the members.
"Before we start today," Lana said to everyone. "Hermione, one of our founders, would like to give something out."
I walked around to each member and gave them a Galleon.
"You see the numerals around the edge of the coins?" I asked everyone as I gave one to Harry, Y/N and Lana. "On real Galleons, that's just a serial number referring to the goblin who cast the coin. On these fake coins, though, the numbers will change to reflect the time and date of the next meeting, put on the master coins that Y/N, Lana and Harry have.
"This sounds a lot like the Dark Mark," Terry Boot said as he examined the coin carefully.
"Um... that's where the idea came from," I said. "But this way was more preferable. It's just a Protean Charm Y/N and I put on the coins.
"How come you both weren't put in Ravenclaw?" Boot asked. "We could have used your brains."
"The Sorting Hat thought about that too," I said. "But it saw Gryffindor was a better fit for me. As for Y/N, his whole family was sorted in Ravenclaw except for him because he displayed bravery a lot of times."
"Thanks, Love," Y/N whispered in my ear and squeezed my hand, making me smile at him.
"Anyways," Harry said. "We saw loads of improvement from everyone over the past couple of weeks, so we have decided to teach you the Patronus Charm."
"It's extremely advanced," Lana added. "It involves concentration and you must think of a moment where you were the most happiest. Y/N, would you care to demonstrate?"
"Oh yes," Y/N said as he pulled out his wand from his pocket and said, "Expecto Patronum," softly and a wolf flew out of his wand wand ran around, but midway through the way, the patronus changed.
It changed into an otter. My patronus.
Everyone muttered as Y/N looked confused as to why his patronus changed. "Strange," He said. "That's never happened before."
"So pair up again," Harry said to everyone as the otter now disappeared. "And we'll look around at everyone."
Anne paired up with me again, but since I knew the Charm too, I could teach her how to do it.
"At least you're not doing it in a stressful situation," I joked. "First time I did it was when we were being attacked by dementors. But what's the happiest memory you can think of, Anne?"
"Oh, that's a hard one," She said as she put her . "Maybe getting my Hogwarts letter, or meeting you and Y/N!"
"Good!" I said. "Now keep that in your mind and say, 'Expecto Patronum'." I gave her a warm smile to help as she returned it, closed her eyes, pointed her wand upward and said, "Expecto Patronum." A beam of blue light shone through her wand as a dolphin emerged and flew through the air with Fred and George's magpies, Ginny's horse, Ron's dog, Luna's hare, Cedric's fox and everyone else's Patronus.
"That's so cool!" Anne said as she watched her dolphin around her. "What does your Patronus take, Hermione?" She asked sweetly.
"Mine's an otter," I said. "I always use the time with Y/N when we had our first kiss. Here, let me show you." I took my wand as I said, "Expecto Patronum," letting the otter run around me.
But something strange happened to my Patronus too.
Mine had turned into a wolf. Y/N's patronus.
"That's so weird," Anne said. "Both yours and Y/N's patronus changed into each others."
"Yeah, that is strange..." I said. "Y/N and I will have to check."
A couple minutes later , A crack was heard in the room as Dobby had popped in the Room of Requirement with thuds coming outside. "Mr. Harry Potter!" He said frantically to him. "Mr. Y/N Lovegood! Miss Lana Lovegood!"
"Dobby?" Harry asked. "What is it?"
Dobby looked around in every direction. "She--" He stuttered. "S-She---"
"Who, Dobby?" Y/N asked. "Is it Umbridge?"
The elf looked afraid as he said her name and nodded. "She knows, She is coming!"
We heard marching outside the room as Y/N and Lana walked to the door. As the marching got louder and closer, they turned back and yelled, "Get out of here! NOW!"
Lana POV
As the others ran out of the way, they yelled in panic as the Inquisitorial Squad's thoughts rang through our heads.
'We're gonna get Potter,' I heard Malfoy in my head.
"I'll blow the door open," Umbridge said from the other side, her voice being a little muffled. "Bombarda... Maxima!"
The door blasted open but before it could hurt anyone, we stopped the pieces from moving and dropped everything. "So much rage in such a tiny package, don't you think, Lana?" Y/N said as he aimed his wand at Umbridge. "Definitely, Y/N," I said. Umbridge had come with the Squad and Marietta Edgecombe, who was looking down.
'She forced me,' I heard her think. 'She forced me...'
"Go find Potter!" Umbridge yelled. "I'll take care of these pests."
"Pests?!?" Y/N said. "If anything, you're the bloody pest, you bitch."
"Y/N!" Hermione yelled from behind us.
"Hermione!" He yelled. "You have to go! Take Anne and the others and get out of here!"
"I'm not leaving you!" She yelled back. "I'm not leaving your side!"
"I don't have a choice!" He said. "I'll be there soon, trust me! You all aren't safe here, especially you or Anne! Fumos!"
She nodded with a tear out of her eye, took Anne, and ran out the room as the fog covered her and the other D.A. members.As they left, we turned to face Umbridge.
"You two are very much a nuisance." She growled.
"Shut up," I said. "Confringo!"
The floor in front of Umbridge blew up as she stared at us. "Impedimenta!" Y/N yelled at her as she got knocked off.
"Incarcerous!" She shouted as chains wrapped themselves around our bodies as Millicent Bulstrode and Pansy Parkinson took us both out.
"Hey, Hey!" Y/N said. "Easy ladies, I have a girlfriend. Don't get the wrong idea or she might kill you."
"Got you, Potter!" Malfoy said as he grabbed Harry out of a corner. "Over here, Professor! I've got one!"
"Well done, Draco!" Umbridge cheered. "50 Points to Slytherin! On your feet, Potter, Lovegoods. We're going to see the Headmaster!" She turned back to Draco. "Search everywhere and clear the fog for the others. Round them all up. Check everywhere, bathrooms, the library, empty classrooms, We must find them!"
"You won't find them," Y/N said to her. "They're smarter than you."
"Oh are they?" Umbridge retorted. "I wonder what I'll do when we do find them. Maybe a detention for Miss Granger and Miss Cotton? Perhaps make them learn they're truly Mudbloods? And for the rest of the Weasley's, making sure they're always blood-traitors?"
Our eyes glowed at her as she continued to smile sickly as us. Y/N tried to break out of Pansy and Millicent's arms and yelled at her. "DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH HERMIONE! OR ANNE! I HATE YOU!!!!!"
"YOU TOUCH RON AND I'LL KILL YOU!!" I yelled.
"I'M GONNA MAKE YOU SUF-"
"Oscuasi," She said as our mouths disappeared before Y/N could finish.
"Serves you right, Lovegood," Malfoy said to him. "Now you know how that feels, don't you."
Y/N flipped him and Umbridge off with both of his hands.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A while later, Umbridge and the dickhead squad brought us towards Dumbledore's office. As we entered the office, they all shoved us towards all of the people inside. Grandma looked absolutely shocked as she saw us without mouths and so was Mum. Mum wasn't just shocked, she was mad and furious.
Dumbledore looked at Umbridge sternly with the cold look of fury behind his half-mooned glasses he gave to Barty Crouch Jr last year. Fudge was there looking pleased with himself, the Auror that worked with Mum a couple years ago, Kingsley Shacklebolt, looked extremely concerned at the condition that we were in. Percy Weasley stood there, grinning at us like an idiot.
"You may be the High Inquisitor of this school, Professor Umbridge," Dumbledore said. "But do not manhandle my grandchildren or Mr. Potter."
But what happened next shocked everyone in the room. If Y/N and I had mouths at the moment, we would be gasping.
Cause of Mum being the badass she was.

And she slapped Umbridge across the face.
"WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO TO MY SON, DAUGHTER AND MY GODSON!?!" She yelled at her. For the first time, Umbridge looked scared as if she was about to regret everything in her life. She waved her wand and gave us back our mouths. "TELL ME, DOLORES!" She shouted. But Umbridge didn't say a word.
"Well, well, well, Mr. Potter, Mr. Lovegood, Miss Lovegood!" Fudge said. "I expect you know why you're here?"
"Don't you dare say a word to them, Cornelius!" Mum scolded at him.
"Not really, no," Harry said.
"You don't?" Fudge said, ignoring Mum. "You haven't broken any school rules?"
"School rules?" Y/N said coldly. "No."
"Or Ministerial Decrees?"
"That bullshit?" I asked. "Not that I know of."
Umbridge now decided to speak as she brought in Marietta into the room. I didn't notice before, but she had the word, "SNEAK" written on her forehead with pimples.
"I'm afraid the poor girl is unable to speak. But I shall tell you what has transpired. Shortly after dinner she came to me and said if I went to the Room of Requirement I would find an illegally-formed student group. It was at this time that this hex took affect."
"She's lying," I said. "She forced Marietta to. I'm guessing her mother works for the Ministry, doesn't she?"
"Doesn't matter," Umbridge said. "Since I had received information some time ago that Potter, the Lovegoods and a number of other students had met in the Hog's head to start an illegal group--"
"I'm not sure that's true, Professor," Dumbledore interrupted.
"I'm sorry?" She asked.
"In point of fact," he said to her. "When they met those students it was not illegal."
"But two dys later, Educational Decree 24 was introduced."
"Again, quite correct," he said bluntly. "However, I wonder if you have any evidence that proves this group has been meeting since then?"
"I have a witness right here!"
"Correct again," he said. "I must confess that I was, however, under the impression that this young girl only told you a meeting was going on tonight."
"Let's ask her, shall we?" She said as she turned to Marietta. "You can shake your head for an answer, dear. Now, have there been more meetings?"
Surprisingly, Marietta shook her head.
"What do you mean by shaking your head, girl?"
"I think that would mean there haven't been other meetings," Dumbledore said as he turned to Marietta. 'Would that be correct?"
Marietta nodded.
"But what about Potter and the Lovegoods?" Umbridge said. "They were their leaders, and has been---"
And Marietta shook her head again.
"Why are you shaking your head, girl?" Umbridge asked her.
"It usually means no, Dolores," Grandma and Mum said at the same time.
Dumbledore warned her again and she produced the list of names that we used to recruit students as Harry gasped. Fudge snatched it and looked at Dumbledore with a loss of words.
"So, Dumbledore," Fudge said. "You've been behind this whole thing." He looked back at the paper and whispered harshly. "Dumbledore's Army!"
Dumbledore smiled and spread his arm wide. "Well, Minister. You've caught me."
Harry, Y/N and I looked at each other. We know Dumbledore can be crazy sometimes, but what was he planning.
"This has all been your doing!" Fudge said. "You've been recruiting students for your army!"
"Quite correct, Cornelius."
"I knew it!" He shouted. "I KNEW it! You've been plotting against me all this time!"
"That's right."
"This is too good to be true!"
"Professor, No!" Harry shouted at him.
"You can't do this!" Y/N and I said.
"Quiet, you three!"
"Yes, shut up, Potter, Lovegoods." Fudge said. "So, you'll be coming with us to the Ministry --"
"F*** you." Y/N and I said.
"Excuse me?!" Fudge asked as if it was a personal attack or something.
"F*** YOU." Y/N said as we stood in front of Dumbledore. "Are you deaf?"
"Ah, yes," Dumbledore said. "I was wondering when we'd hit that little snag."
"I see no snag."
"But I do," Dumbledore said as he wagged his finger. "You seem to be laboring under the delusion that I would 'come quietly'."
"Resisting arrest, now are you, Dumbledore?"
"Precisely. You see, I have absolutely no intention of going to Azkaban." Dumbledore announced.
"And you're not gonna take him," I said as I joined Y/N.
Fudge scoffed. "You two would really take on Kingsley, Dolores, and myself single-handedly, Lovegoods?"
"Merlin's beard, no," Y/N said.
"Not unless you are foolish to force us to." I continued.
We went for our wands before Kingsley could and shot a blinding light in the room. There was a bang towards Dumbledore's desk, but as the light faded, Umbridge, Fudge, Percy and Kingsley were all unconscious.
Harry blinked as Mum had shielded him and Marietta and Grandma defended herself from the beam. Dumbledore moved towards them and asked, "Are you all right?"
"Yes, we're fine," Grandma said as she dusted herself.
"Where will you go, Father?" Mum asked him.
"I'm not going into hiding," He said. "Fudge will soon regret removing me from Hogwarts. Little does he know I had a plan if this happened again after the Chamber."
Y/N and I joined Harry as he apologized to Dumbledore. "I'm so sorry, Professor!"
"We are too," Y/N said. "You shouldn't have done that."
Dumbledore smiled at the three of us. "It's fine. Now listen to me. Harry, keep studying Occlumency! Do everything Professor Snape tells you. Y/N, Lana, Newt and Tina will continue to teach you."
He gripped us by the shoulder. "Close your mind. You will understand, in time." Fudge stirred a little along with Percy. Y/N and I couldn't help but kick him in the shin.
"Lay back down," Dumbledore instructed us. "They must not think we have had time to talk." He moved to Fawkes as he grabbed into his tail and the two burst a blast of flames and vanished out of sight.
"Find him!" Fudge commanded as Umbridge and Percy went to find them.
"You may not like it, Minister," Shacklebolt said to him. "But you gotta admit, Dumbledore has style."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Harry POV
Professor McGonagall ushered us out to the Gryffindor Common Room and brought Lana and Marietta to the Ravenclaw Common Room. Before she left us go, she congratulated Y/N on his prank by manipulating his voice. As we entered the Room, Y/N was greeted with Hermione hugging him tightly, grasping his face and kissing him everywhere on his face.
"Are you okay?" She asked him panically. "Did she do anything to you? Please tell me you're okay, Love, I--"
Before she continued, Y/N placed his hands on her neck and kissed her on her lips deeply and passionately.
"I'm okay, Love," he said as he stopped. "All she did was remove my mouth. But she did threaten to hurt you. You, Anne, Ron, the rest of the Weasleys, she threatened all of you." He looked back at me as I nodded.
"And I'm making sure she doesn't lay a finger on any of you," He said to her as he brushed her hair, rubbed her cheek and kissed her again. "Especially you or Anne. I love you so much."
She looked into his eyes and kissed him. "I love you too, babe. I love you so much. I'm glad you're doing this for Anne too." She turned back to me and hugged me too. "You're alright too, Harry?" She asked.
"Yeah," I said as I hugged her back. "Sorry if I made things weird."
"Don't worry about it," Y/N said as Hermione wrapped her arm around him. "Besides you owe us for making things weird for the last four years. We still got to tell Anne our story, don't we?"
"Yes, we do, Love," Hermione said with a smile and kissed him. "She wants to hear all about it."
The day after, we were all sitting at breakfast waiting for what's to happen next after yesterday's events. Soon enough, all the owls delivered copies of the Daily Prophet and the Quibbler dropped on every table as Umbridge was given something as she had a smile on her face. But slowly her sick smile faded away and was replaced with a growl on her face. She threw the parchment away and walked out of the Great Hall furiously as we read the headline.
This was some good news for us. Bad news for Umbridge.
