Dolores Umbridge is the Half-Blood Prince
“Well, Harry,” said the famous J.K. Rowling, “I really don’t think you’re eligible.”
Harry scowled. He knew it. He wasn't good-looking enough.
“A sound idea, Rowling,” agreed Snape, leering at Harry’s disappointment . “I’m sure we don’t want Potter’s head larger than it is, or we’ll soon need the Elves carrying it around for him.”
Harry threw Snape a dirty look.
“How about Dumbledore, then?” Hermione suggested. “I’m sure he wouldn’t abuse the position.”
Jo looked at Dumbledore hopefully, but the headmaster shook his head. “I’m afraid I’m rather too old, Ms Rowling. You’ll want someone more likely to survive to the end. I suggest… ”
But no one heard who Dumbledore would suggest because at that moment an unexpected sound floated over their heads.
“Hem-hem.”
Ron jumped and Hermione squealed. Jo stood very quickly in surprise and tried to hide it by extending her hand.
“D-Dolores!”
“Why hello, Ms Rowling,” cooed Dolores Umbridge, toadish as ever. “What’s this I hear about the Half-Blood Prince?”
“We…..er…..uh…..”
“Of course I would love to aid you!” Umbridge offered in that sickeningly sweet voice. “I would be more than happy to be the Half-blood Prince!”
Dumbledore choked. Snape began to twitch at the nostrils.
Jo blinked. “I…..well…..well, alright , Dolores.” Jo shrugged in defeat. “I’m sure everyone will be…..well…..you know.”
“Oh, yes yes,” Umbridged smiled, setting her wide bottom at the seat reserved for the Prince. “And, of course, I’ll willingly receive any gifts of goodwill.”
Harry mouth fell open in amazement. How could Jo think Umbridge would make a better Prince than he, Harry? Apparently, Ron was disgusted too, for he suddenly picked his nose furiously and flicked the small green ball at Umbridge.
“Enjoy your gift,” Ron spat and, followed by the others, stomped out of the room.
