This choice: Umbridge does not shrink you, she just gives you a stern talking-to • Go Back...Chapter #3Umbridge chews you out. [Figuratively] by: Quagmire69   Apprehensively, you made your way to the Headmistress' office, uncertain of why you were called over. Unlike other students at Hogwarts, you had a squeaky clean record. Most of your peers thought it was because you were a good for nothing goody-two-shoes, but in reality, you were very aware of the extent of disciplinary actions the professors were allowed to enact. You simply rather not be turned into vermin for potion ingredients or another person's pet chow. Besides, you had your own magic hustle in the Muggle World. Brewing fertilizer for farms paid fairly well, but you were cautious enough to evade the prying eyes of the Wizarding World.
Entering her office, Headmistress Umbridge gestures for you to take a seat.
"Now, Mr. Taylor... I called you in here to try and understand the reason for your...Size Reduction Charm...Unless you were living under a staircase, you would know that their are spells, charms & even potions that serve the function that you are seeking out...We don't need redundancy in our World of Wizards, young Malcolm." Headmistress Umbridge said, telling you things that you already know of.
"That's just it Headmistress! Reducio is only a counter-charm, Diminuendo only works on objects, and Shrinking Solutions require the up most precision in brewing and dosing...Plus, glass bottles break fairly easy... And with the walking disaster magnet that is Neville walking about, I'd rather not have half of Hogwarts shrunken so small, we could make a muggle film...If I'm successful in discovering this new spell-to-be all those other spells and potions would be rendered obsolete..." You explained.
"Yet, without the proper counter-charm, you'd trap yourself in such a vulnerable state...If the Engorgement Charm is ineffective against your new spell, then you'd be stuck at your miniscule size..." Dolores brought up.
"True... But I can simply use the Undoing Spell I created before, remember?" You pointed out.
"Ah, yes...Almost forgot... Perhaps the only spell to revolutionize counter charms...And laundromats..." Umbridge remembers the undoing spell you created, which fixed many of the messes of your fellow peers.
"Right! I'll just use Abstergo to restore my body to it's normal size, then work on a proper counter-charm that works on the inverse... Shouldn't be too hard." You said with confidence.
"Hmmm...Alright, I suppose... But I'd like to see a demonstration to record your progress." Headmistress Umbridge agreed.
"Thank you Headmistress! You won't regret this!" You were ecstatic to be approved.
Moving to more open space, you prepared to use your experimental spell.
"Okay... Here goes...MINUO!" You shout your spell out, the magic flowing threw your wand as you aimed at yourself.
