umbitch.livejournal.comUpon arrival into Fandom, Dolores Jane Umbridge's first thought was 'pitiful.' Her second thought was 'such an unfortunate waste of natural resources.' And, if you please, those were considered pleasant thoughts.
Things could have been much worse. And then she saw the school and realized things were much worse. Terribly so.
Dolores Jane Umbridge had never backed away from a challenge though. If she had, she would've never risen to the rank of Senior Undersecretary to the Minister of Magic, one Cornelius Fudge, and certainly would have never been appointed High Inquistor, and later, Headmaster of Hogwarts.
She was not impressed at all with the town's decor. Far too dour, lacking color and vigor. That would have to be fixed immediately. No self respecting person wants to walk through town and think of imminent death. There would need to be color. Quite a lot of it.
When she'd been approached about accepting the position as a temporary replacement for a rather eccentric school, she'd originally turned it down. Hogwarts needed her after all. Needed her to dispel the rumors of You Know Who's return, to discipline student who, for far too long, had been allowed to run rampant over the school administration and, most importantly, to restore respect and dignity to the Hogwarts name.
But, there'd come a time for a change. And, after seeing to the improvement of Hogwarts, had decided to take the job offer.
There would be changes. Quite a lot of them.
After all, temporary positions, often times, become permanent.
