What's up my lovely readers? This is my first fanfiction, I hope you enjoy it.
Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter
Also, this will have Hermione bashing, so if you don't like that, the door's that way *points at the door*
"EVERYONE RUN!" Harry bellowed, and the DA members sprinted for the doors, flooding the hallway as they run away from the Room of Requirement. As he ran, Harry saw a spell flash toward his legs and fell over on the ground.
"Well well well, good job Mister Malfoy, take thirty points to Slytherin for catching Potter." a sickly sweet simpering voice reached Harry's ears. "Get up Potter." Umbridge snarled gleefully, pulling his arm forcefully, and dragged him to the Headmaster's office.

Harry's eyes widened as he saw the Minister, Kingsley, some auror he didn't know, Professor McGonagall, and Percy Weasley in the office, all gathered around the Headmaster. Fudge was glaring at Harry with vicious satisfaction. Before he could say anything, however, Umbridge interrupted him.
"Minister! I've caught them red-handed! I've caught Potter!" she exclaimed triumphantly.
"I don't know what she's talking about sir! Please, you must believe me! I was-" Harry was cut off before he could say anything more. Umbridge pointed at her supposed witness; it was Marietta, Cho's friend. Harry felt his stomach sink.
"Tell them, girl! About the little illegal group!" Umbridge demanded, pushing the Ravenclaw forward. Marietta shook her head slowly, and Harry's eyes followed the word "SNEAK" that had been charmed onto her face. "Fine! They started this little group in October, with a meeting in Hog's Head."
"Ah, but Delores my dear, there is no rule in place against students meeting in Hog's Head during their trips to Hogsmeade." Dumbledore pointed out wisely. Harry looked at him gratefully. Umbridge whirled around to grab Marietta by the shoulders.
"She knows that these meetings continued! Tell them!" Umbridge screeched, drawing winces and concerned looks from the people around her. Marietta stared blankly ahead, shaking her head each time Umbridge demanded her to reply. Umbridge began to violently shake the frightened Ravenclaw when Fudge shouted at her to stop.
"Delores! Stop! This is unbecoming behavior of one of your station!" Fudge spluttered, seeing the impending danger from the looks he was being given.
Umbridge, let go of Marietta like she was suddenly burning hot to touch. "Fine, even without her answering, I managed to find this." and her stubby hand pulled out a list of names, the title "Dumbledore's Army" written neatly at the top. "See Minister! It's practically a written confession from Potter himself!" she said gleefully.
Dumbledore stepped in again, and said gently, "Ah but it doesn't say Potter's Army, Delores. It says Dumbledore's Army."
"You!" Fudge blustered, turning red rapidly.
"Yes, me," Dumbledore said.
"Well then, aurors, arrest him!" Fudge stated triumphantly. Dumbledore raised his arms.
"Where ever did you get the impression I would go quietly? Cover your eyes, Minerva dear." Dumbledore said, eyes twinkling madly. In a flash of phoenix fire, he was gone.
