    I wonder if Umbridge is really dead. People like her tends to show up again...
    Severus is lucky, though, that she ended this way. He threatened her and she might as well want to take him to Azkaban with her - a Pensive memory showed to the judge would condemn him.
    It is good to "see" Harry flying again!

    Author's Response:

    Oh, she's dead, unless someone resurrects her, and even then there wouldn;t be much left considering she'd be digested.

    She would have tried, that's for sure and he might have been in trouble, but alls well that ends well.

    You'll see more of Freedom soon!

    And the next one;s up!

    I think I like your way of dealing with Umbridge better than canon's lol
    Here we have the legal way coupled with something that satisfies our bloodlust lol

    Thanks

    Author's Response:

    Thanks for the great compliment.  I always felt that she got away with murder in the books. 

    I wanted to have both ways, to show that yes, wizards DO have laws that they should and do follow, and consequences for those who really break them.

    I love that she got her by giant bird! That's too priceless. ANd I knew Ron was going to be a major git!

    Author's Response:

    Great, I wanted her to meet her end differently and Azkaban just wouldn;t do it, considering who she knows in the Ministry.  She might have gone in and come out two days later.  So . . .it was death by Stymphalian Bird.

    yes, Ronis behaving in his usual prejudiced adolescent fashion, sigh!

    What a satisfying chapter!! God, it felt wonderful to watch Dolores Umbridge get exactly what she had coming to her--and in such detail! Ah! A "10" for this writer, please!

    This needed to happen to Umbridge! Can't wait to read your next post. Love this story. Love Freedom and Snape; Ron needs to chill out!

    Author's Response:

    Thank you! Ron needs a good smack upside the head all right!

    The next one is up, just so you know!

    ::collapses in teary giggles:: YES!! I now love birds...! Good Harry--he did what he was told, and let Snape handle Umbridge! Well--mostly. ::satisfied smirk::

    Of course, now *Ron* needs a good whalloping... Ah, well. He's certainly in character (I'm remembering fourth year--ooooh, but I wanted to smack him then, too!). I don't know if I'd prefer Harry to deal with Ron, or Snape to get involved; there's *such* potential for personal mayhem there! ::settling back to wait faux-patiently for the next chapter::

    Author's Response:

    Oh good, I've converted you! LOL!

    Yeah for once he actually LISTENED . . .mostly to Snape.

    Oh he does indeed and Molly might just give him one . . .or maybe Hermione.  Uh, if Severus got a hold of him . . .there might be some serious bodily harm done, especially if Ron started badmouthing Harry.

    Your patience has been rewarded, for the next one is posted1 Oh and thanks for the instructions about the yahoo group, I will see about getting one set up!

    Oh, I forgot something. What on Earth was that thing that killed/ate Umbridge?
    A Stymphalian Bird? Did you come up with that or did you find it somewhere?
    I thought that it was a wonderful way to kill off the Toad, by having her eaten by a gigantic bird.
    Another thing, does Hagrid know that this thing is in his forest? ;-} I was just wondering if it was another one of his "pets" ;-}

    Leilia

    Author's Response:

    No, it comes from Greek mythology, it's not my creation.  More about it will be learned next chapter.

    Yes, hagrid knows, but the Stymphalian Bird isn't anyone's pet.

    So happy you liked her demise.  I was originally going to have her eaten by a griffin, but changed my mind when I remember the Stymphalian Bird.

    Okay, this review is going to be a long one. ;-}

    First off, I love the line: "Now Umbridge would learn the truth all students knew-screwing with Snape was like baiting a Hungarian Horntail-either way you ended up dead."
    When I first read that I almost fell off the couch. Absolutely Brilliant!! I love it!!
    How do you come up with stuff like this? Incredible!

    I have to say I was supprised when Umbridge tried to get away by running out of the castle. Great twist, I really wasn't expecting her to do that. ;-}
    Also I have a question, you said that "she (Umbridge) threw back her head and let loose with a magically amplified banshee screech." Does this mean that the High Wicked Bigot actually had creature blood? This might explain why she is so against them and some of her looks too. ;-}

    I also loved Minerva worked it out so that Harry and Severus could work together and spend more time with each other. Her line though: "No need to thank me. I think this is both what you need." I can imagine Severus and Harry's expressions right about then. Too too funny. ;-}

    As always, Superb chapter. And I can't wait to see what happens next.

    Leilia

    Author's Response:

    That line just . . .popped into my head.  It's sheer improvisation, I don;t know where I get it from.  It's not planned. 

    It could indeed and you'll find out more about that next chapter. 

    Yes, they would have both been giving her LOOKS!

    Thanks so much and the next one;s up now!

    Oh this was wonderful and SUCH a fitting end to the toad--devoured by a HUGE preaditor bird. And I do like Minerva's detention.

    BTW--when do we get to smack Ron across the back of the head? Soon please!

    V

    Author's Response: Glad you liked.  And you can do THAT anytime you like, LOL!
