Monday 25tth June – 26 days

Chapter 19: The Lion And The Serpent
In this chapter... The DA meetings are helping Harry ignore Professor Umbridge. The DA members are making real progress. The first big Quidditch match – Gryffindor against Slytherin is in November. As well as Malfoy on the Slytherin team, there is also Crabbe and Goyle. Expectations are high – especially of Ron. The Slytherin's have come up with a new song to taunt the Gryfinndor team, - Weasley is our King. It is certainly not complimentary of Ron, and his goalkeeping abilities plummet as they sing it loudly throughout the game.
Harry manages to make sure Gryffindor win by catching the Snitch early. Malfoy is sore from losing and begins insulting the Weasleys and Harry's mother. Harry and George are unable to control their tempers and get into a fistfight with Malfoy. Umbridge decides to ban them both, in addition to George's twin, Fred, from ever playing Quidditch again. Harry and Ron are feeling very sorry for themselves. Hermione then tells them there is a light in Hagrid’s cabin – Hagrid is finally back.
“ – nice Bludger from Fred Weasley. I mean George Weasley, oh who cares, one of them anyway…”


Which Gryffindor Quidditch team players did Professor Umbridge manage to ban from playing Quidditch for life? Harry, Fred, and George

Chapter 20: Hagrid's Tale

In this chapter... The Trio sneak to Hagrid’s hut under the Invisibility Cloak. Hagrid looks as if he has recently suffered a bad beating. Hagrid doesn’t tell the Trio exactly what happened, but he tells them a little about his mission, with Madam Maxime (headmistress of Beauxbatons) and how they tried to recruit giants for the Order.
Professor Umbridge knocks on the cabin door in spite of the late hour, and the Trio hide under the cloak. Umbridges wastes no time in questioning Hagrid, asking where he's been for so long. Hagrid does not do very well with the questioning. Harry is convinced that Umbridge knows way more than she should about Hagrid's mission.

“Come on, Hagrid, tell us what you’ve been up to!” said Ron. “Tell us about being attacked by the giants and Harry can tell you about being attacked by the Dementors – ”


What spell does Hermione use to vanish the footprints near Hagrid’s cabin? Obliteration charm
