Harry was alone with Umbridge in her office, writing lines, his hand bleeding, when he noticed a foul smell.
After eliminating himself, since he had bathed within the past day or so, and hadn't been to quidditch practice since his last bath, he tried to determine the source, without earning himself more lines or another detention.
There was his backpack. If someone slipped a dung bomb into it, it should be smoking. It was still sitting innocently on the floor, with all the compartments closed. If something stinky was in it, it should have been noticeable before now. Okay, so it was probably not his backpack or something in it. Harry couldn't eliminate it entirely because Fred and George might have slipped a new test product into it.
He frowned at a wide-eyed kitten on the plate. Kittens were cute, but could emit a powerful stench. Harry's eyes were beginning to water which may confirm the source, but why would someone collect magical plates of cute kittens that reeked like a stoat sandwich Hagrid forgot and left in his coat pocket all summer? Ah, to torture students with detention, of course.
Umbridge had not cast a bubble-headed charm upon herself. Something in her nose to prevent it from smelling the stench?
Holy ... what the heck was Harry doing? Attempting to look up Umbridge's nose was comparable to ... Seamus airing out his wedding tackle as he did his morning stretching. Hold on, that scent was vaguely familiar, now that he was thinking of Seamus. His trainers ...
Harry wanted to drop Umbridge's quill, but thought that might lead to trouble, so he feigned an emotional moment (he was being tortured here) and knocked his glasses off his face to the floor. While retrieving them, and replacing them on his face, he spied the source of the paint-peeling reek ... under her desk, Umbridge had slipped her hairy, pudgy piggies out of her shoes.
