MY BRILLIANT CAREER Girls and boys, and other members of Leaky Lounge! Allow me to introduce myself, as a highly respected member of the Wizengamot, and a high-ranking and highly valued Senior Undersecretary to Cornelius Fudge, himself. Along with the delightful Lucius Malfoy, my Selwyn relatives and other dear friends I have made, I did my best to stop Dumbledore's rot from taking root in the Wizarding World. I passed a law to stop a recurrence of that unfortunate incident involving the employment of a Werewolf as the Hogwarts Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher, and have stood valiantly against the employment of other half-breed types, like (hmph) Rubeus Hagrid or the appointment of mad types like Alastor Moody. It was this terrible situation involving the appointment of such types which doubtless caused the unfortunate accident in which Cedric Diggory died during the third Triwizard Cup task. Poor Fudge was so upset.  But I took steps to see that nothing came of the allegations put about by the likes of Dumbledore and that miserable favourite of his. My measures should have silenced  forever, but for practising underage magic in front of a muggle, this miserable half-blood now has a criminal record, which should entitle him to punishment whenever and wherever he is found.  I was appointed the following academic year as Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher to ensure that Hogwarts' precious children are suitably protected against alarmist types like (hmph) Harry Potter, and from practising inappropriate spells. The Ministry considers the education of young wizards and witches of utmost importance, so Educational Decree Number 22 appointed me Hogwarts High Inquisitor. Thereby, I not only had the power to administer detention pens to that undesirable, but also to weed out suspect Hogwarts teachers, in particular, 'Professors' Trelawney and  Hagrid. Educational Decree, Number 28 appointed me as Hogwarts Headmistress when Dumbledore proved he was planning sedition against Cornelius Fudge. Other Educational Decrees, such as Numbers 24, 25 or Number 27 forbade clubs and other similar seditious organisations, allowed me to debar dissenting undesirables from playing in even local sporting teams, and also banned the dissemination of publications which do not meet with Ministry approval. Number 23 authorised me to inspect and sack teachers. Whilst Number 27 and other powers allowed me to assemble a most effective student club, given power to help me counteract 's dangerous resistance to Ministry ideas, as well as inspect Hogwarts mail as it arrives. (Here's a thought! Does Cornelius Fudge rubber-stamp everything put in front of him? Never mind, what he doesn't see won't hurt him.)It has come to my attention that on this site many believe that Voldemort has arisen. I must insist that this information is definitely not true. This is a view put about by those who are in cahoots with Sirius Black. Myself, I don't associate with criminals or werewolves. Do not listen to J.K Rowling who has said she referred to precedents like the Muggle Neville Chamberlain, and his unfortunate career in Twentieth Century history. You are not to believe one word of what the likes of Wagga Wagga Werewolf says! A werewolf has no rights in this society. Didn't I pass a law stopping such nonsense? My good friend Fudge signed it. (Was he actually paying attention when he did?) I've heard rumours that on this site I have been called an incompetent Ministry toadie! I am not to be criticized in any way. How disrespectful of Book Club visitors to suggest I am not a high-ranking Pooh Bah of the Wizengamot and Ministry who can reel off all the laws and bylaws at a moment's notice to the likes of that horrible half-breed centaur herd! How dare they suggest my Ministry approved curriculum is not everything that is needed for students to pass their exams! Now I ask you! Hasn't my career provided an effective educational experience? Did I deserve being hounded out of the Forbidden Forest, not to mention being chased out of Hogwarts, itself? Evaluate my brilliant career, and Ministry methods of bringing Hogwarts under control, I insist! You've heard Professor Umbridge's point of view, and now I've some questions for Dolores Umbridge. Anyone else is also welcome to express their opinions here: 1.How can a sporting competition be a valid competition if there isn't an opposing team to play against? 2. How effective was it for Umbridge to ban magazine articles, clubs and all other activities which would criticize her performance? 3. Why did Umbridge want to stop Harry achieving the OWLs results necessary to become an auror? Would she really have behaved differently if he wanted to be something else? 4. Why did it suit Umbridge to deny that Voldemort had returned? 5. What exactly did you think the Toad expect to achieve by setting dementors onto Harry and Dudley Dursley? 6. How successful a DADA teacher, High Inquisitor and Headmistress was Umbridge? (Unlike her toadiness, I won't feed you with Veritaserum-laced tea.) Meanwhile, the first rule of Leaky Lounge is to be nice to others. How and why should Professor Umbridge remember this rule before trumpeting her views here?

Reason for edit: To ask her Toadiness some pertinent questions
