"Yes, Professor Hagrid, you did - but I'm afraid that while your student teacher relations are beyond outstanding, there simply is no room at Hogwarts for an unqualified teacher when there are others better equipped," she said, feeling like this was going all wrong.

"Look - Hagrid, you will be missed. In fact, out of all the professors who have ever been sacked, I think you will be the most missed," Dessie nodded with a smile, trying to encourage him. "But it's for the good of Hogwarts - and you do love Hogwarts right? These kids. . . Their lives depend on their studies here. It's sad that you have to be let go but if you love the kids so much, think about them. They will be getting an excellent teacher who's qualifications and teaching techniques will get them through their exams with O's all around."

Dessie stood tall as she talked to the blubbering man and tried to be as professional about this as possible. But when people cried because of HER... It was just bad.

A fool, he was for reasons other than firing him. Looking straight into the eyes of the man clad in black robes before him, he said, "Weed out the bad seeds?" He raised an eyebrow at him and added, a subtle smirk tugging at the end of his lips, "Sir, not only you were mean to the Gryffindors, you also disparaged the weaker students, the ones who weren't the brightest in your particular subject. In spite of correcting their problems with compassion and patience, you chose to humiliate them, hurt their pride by exposing their weaknesses before the whole class so that they could be the subject of being laughed at and ridiculed...." He sighed softly, running a hand through his hair. WAs he getting rather emotional? Maybe since Potions is very dear to his heart. "With due respect, Sir, I'd fire you." He stared into Snape's dark eyes, watching his face turn paler and the wrinkles strewn across his face deepening.

She stood politely from her desk as he approached. He was certainly a huge man, and she straightened her robes as she thought best how to approach this. She was generally a warm hearted lady, finding and encouraging the best in people. This was going to be hard...

Taking her gaze upwards to his, she nodded softly at his word. "I know," she said softly. "It is an unfortunate occurance - and one I'd rather not do, in many ways." She 're spoke with sincerety and understanding. "Your work on the Hogwarts grounds is very much appreciated - over the years you've done far more than you've been asked - and the same can be said for you support of the students. It's just..." She paused and took a breath, she needed to say this very carefully. "I think you need a little more time to prepare yourself for working with a class as a Professor. It's a different sort of role, and I know you will be there in time - just not quite yet."

She swallowed slowly, unsure of what sort of reaction she might get.

He looked her square in the face, "I am sorry Professor Trelawney but I can not in good conscience allow you to remain at your post. Your student aren;'t learning a thing and you can barely control your classroom. While you may have all the passion in the world for divination not everyone can translate that into effective teachings. I am to have to fire bout but I have to think of the students. I will be more than happy to help you find accommodations in London if you desire. " He told her firmly.

It was then, as he took the parchment in his hands with the High Inquisitors opinions on then that he knew he was in trouble. He didn’t know anyone who could even begin to explain to him who these professors were, nor did he have time to dash out and flee from this monstrosity.

Sighing he leaned against the wall, watching as workers began to get things done. It seemed simple enough, give your opinion then fire the professor. Yet it was then he realized how much in trouble he truly was. If this was Romania he’d know which professor to fire and would gladly do it himself. That horrendous Potions professor who had tormented him during his seven years; if it wasn’t for Gladius he would have quit school years before and fled. But Gladius had taught him to control his fears, to not let them beat him and he had mastered Potions even with the professor hounding him.

That was years ago though, and he was an adult now, trying in vain to fit in a place he wasn’t sure he’d be accepted at. It was only his first week and already he was doing things he’d never done before. Clutching the comic book in his pocket he closed his eyes, willing Superman to come right now and tell him what to do. Shaking his head to clear it of the memories of the past, Darius set his mind to the task at hand and opened the pamplet. Looking at the names on the page he scratched his head. Clearly this was going to be harder than he thought. He thought back, trying in vain to think of anything Ariana might have told him about Hogwarts, but nothing came to mind straight away as he glanced some more.

Finally he decided to wing it. How bad could it be he mused, kneeling down and taking a quill out of his pocket and putting it between his teeth before reading it once more. Ah, wait a minute he thought his eyes focusing on one paragraph.

This is a hard one for me, as I have never heard of any of these professors, living in Romania all my adult life. However my wife has told me some basic stuff which I can now take to school with as it were and make a detailed assumption about which professor I feel needs to be fired and which one should be kept on. From my observations of the report that Umbridge has written I can only assume that she feels such animosity among those facilitators that the natural course of action would be to fire her for incompetence.

However as it would be too easy to fire someone for giving their opinion - and let’s face it it has happened before - I must go with my own findings. I have written a list of those who I think should be fired, to those whom I think shouldn’t. The list goes from definitely getting fired to keep. Now please remember I am new to the Ministry here and have yet to even read up on the history of Hogwarts so this may be wrong.

Once she was finished she flipped through the notes the Umbridge had made during her time at Hogwarts of the teachers. Some of the explanations she wrote were quite foolish in her opinion. After careful consideration of how she was going to put this, she started on her opinions.



Briony finished her thoughts and waited for Antigone to read through them. She felt nervous and read them back to herself.
