[The video opens in a courtyard at Hogwarts; gathered all around are students, but in the cetner are three women, Prof. McGonagall, Prof. Trelawney, and of course, clad all in pink, Umbridge with a satisfied smirk on her face. Trelawney is sniffling, standing next to a set of suitcases.]
"Sixteen years...I've lived and taught...Hogwarts is my home...y-you can't do this!"
[Umbridge smiles] "Actually, I can."
[Dumbledore walks in as McGonagall seems to be trying to comfort a crying Trelawney.]
"Professor McGonagall, might I ask you to escort Sibyll back inside?"
[As the two women walk back inside, Trelawney babbles thank yous and grasps Dumbledore's hand. Umbridge scowls.]
"Dumbledore, may I remind you that under the terms of Education Decree Number 23, as enacted by the Minister..."
[Dumbledore snaps] "You have the right to dismiss my teachers. You do not, however, have the authority to banish them from the grounds. That power remains with the headmaster."
[A pause, and then Umbridge smiles.] "For now."
[A moment of silence before Dumbledore relents, turning back towards the building and barking at the students.] "Don't you all have studying to do?"
((Small canon move for Dumbly, since I've been neglecting him lately. I don't have the books on hand, so I'm using the dialogue from the film for this one.))
