[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]

AN: Alright for all the reviews, and I even got alerts for this story. They're the first alerts I have had for any one my stories. So I shall give a special shout out to those two: Edward Cullen's Girl, and Fallen Angel Salena Rose. I also appreciate the reviews which I will respond to in a little bit. Also a shout out to MaNdi-ANdRad3 for adding this to her list of favorite stories. Thanks for supporting this Fanfic, I am glad you liked chapter one. In this chapter I basically bash on Umbridge. As you will find out I have a great dislike for her character. Brittany is just going to go all out on her. Brittany shall be the cause of her going to the Minister to become High School Inquisitor. You'll also see why Brittany is a misfit in her own house. I will be combining the movie version of Umbridge, with the smile that made me want to punch her, and the book version where she was really fat and looked like a toad. So Enjoy The Chapter.

The Gryffindor Misfit
Chapter Two: The Fat Pink Toad
 
Four people trudge toward a class room. Pink was not a color for a room. At least not one for Defense Against the Dark Arts. Well maybe with the way Umbridge was teaching the class it fit.
 
"I wonder what she has planned for us today?" Hermione wondered aloud.
 
"More book reading I assume." Harry sighed He missed the classes with Lupin, and Mad-Eye, even if he was an imposter. At least in that class they actually did magic. He also never had detention for DADA before. He rubbed his scared hand subconsciously.
 
"The stupid Toad Lady can kiss my pale ass. Stupid ugly pink wench." Brittany grumbled quietly.
 
Ron and Harry laughed as Hermione rolled her eyes. "Brittany you are so vulgar. Just because you had no feminine influence in your life does not mean you can act like a rowdy guy." Hermione scolded.
 
"It is the only way to have fun. Besides I'm a tomboy who wears skirts and tight shirts. I like being a walking contradiction. It is my specialty.” Brittany laughed as they reached the classroom.
 
They quickly took their seats and pulled out their books. Umbridge strode in, in all her ugly, pink, fat, toady, glory. The students still seemed to flinch at her disturbing appearance.
 
“Today I shall pass back your essays.” She stated in her overly annoying `sweet' tone. “Many of you did very well. Some of you did very poorly.” She stated staring at Harry directly, that stupid grin still on her face.
 
When she looked away, and began passing back papers Harry Grumbled. “Stupid ugly toad.”
 
Umbridge turned and in the most fake kind tone anyone could perform, asked. “I'm sorry, what did you say Mr. Potter? Grumbling is not very becoming of a young man.”
 
Harry opened his mouth to tell Professor where she needed to take a permanent vacation. (AN: Oh if only.) Fortunately, for Harry's sake, Brittany tapped Umbridge on the shoulder. “Um, Professor Umbridge, could you explain why you gave me such a low score? When I have only two corrections on my essay.”
 
Umbridge turned her attention to Brittany, ignoring Harry, conveniently. So she missed his whispered `Thank you.' She gave her one of her smiles that made Brittany want to punch her in the face.
 
“The paper was well written overall. The thing is the assignment was for you to find a simple spell to counter a curse.” Umbridge explained her twisted grading.
 
“Well, Stupefy would work. It is a fairly simple spell, and prevents a curse from even being fired. Besides, dodging is better than casting a counter spell. The Ministry approved book says so.” Brittany explained defending herself.
 
“Well prove it then.” Umbridge challenged in her sickeningly sweet voice.
 
Brittany picked up her text book and showed her a page. She pointed to a Specific paragraph, and explained, “It is actually a quote from the Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge himself.”
 
Professor Umbridge's face turned as pink as her ugly outfit. “Alright Ms. Kai. I shall change your grade.” She forced out with her never ending smile. She was not thrilled that she had been proven wrong.
 
She turned to address the class as a whole. “Open your books to chapter five, and start reading.”
 
The class did as they were told, and began reading. There was tension in the room because Brittany had stood up to Umbridge and had managed to get away with it. She also distracted Umbridge from punishing Harry. (AN: He deserves an award for what he said. Sorry Continue on.)
 
Draco was especially pissed because he still wanted her to suffer because she slapped him in the hall earlier. He wanted Harry to get in trouble as well, just because it would entertain him.
 
Harry was thankful Brittany saved him from getting another detention and thus missing practice later that day. He rubbed the back of his hand as he scowled. The stupid toad needs to be hit by the Hogwarts Express.He thought angrily.
 
After a long class of reading and note taking the time had come for their assignment. “I want a two parchment essay due to me tomorrow on one aspect of chapter five you feel is most important.”
 
Brittany jumped up immediately before Harry had a chance. In being a tomboy she fought for what she wanted, in being female she knew how to think on her feet better than her two male friends. When Harry was pissed he just did not think, and Ron rarely did in any circumstance.
 
“Unfortunately Professor, we do not have class tomorrow.” Brittany pointed out in a gentle tone.
 
“I am well aware of that. It will be turned in, regardless of the fact if we have class or not.” Umbridge shot back.
 
Brittany sighed mentally. You know what screw being nice, this toad needs to be squashed. Even if I only squish her for a little bit. “Even with the power that the Ministry has given you, unfortunately you do not have the power to go against the Professors code. No assignment can be assigned and due on a day that the class does not meet.”
 
The bell rung, and the class was dismissed, but everyone stayed in their seats staring in amazement. Brittany had proven Professor unjust and then called her out on it. This amazed everyone, and when Brittany turned to the class with a bright smile they clapped. Even the Slytherins did not really like Umbridge.
 
“So since she has no more time to assign anything, no homework!” Ron yelled out happily.
 
The class stampeded out as fast as they could before Umbridge could argue. Brittany stayed behind. “Do not abuse the little power the Ministry has given you. It makes me angry. You do not have the power to supersede the rules. Have a nice weekend Professor.” She purred before walking into the hallway proudly.
 
Umbridge found her voice though. “100 points from Gryffindor for Ms. Kai's outburst and obvious disrespect! And a year's worth of detention.” She screamed loudly. I'll have to make sure she does not cause the other students to challenge me.
 
Professor Dumbledore and Professor Snape were walking down the same hall. “What is going on here?” Asked Dumbledore in his kind voice.
 
“Albus, I demand you expel this foul mouthed and disruptive child.” Umbridge shrieked turning pink again.
 
“What has she done?” Asked Snape in a dangerous tone, looking at Brittany directly.
 
“She has disrespected me, and insulted the Ministry. She is also a menace.” Umbridge hissed.
 
Harry was not about to let Brittany fall for this. “She was pointing out rules that Umbridge was breaking that you Professor have to follow. Umbridge was being entirely unreasonable, and Brittany told her she was wrong, and now she's angry at being challenged.”
 
Hermione nodded, her best female friend was not going down for following rules. “She cannot be punished for such thing Professors, she was defending the rules. With out all rules being followed, especially by the Professor it sets a bad example for us students.” She added in a stern tone.
 
Snape nodded. “I have to agree Albus, she was not entirely out of line.” She just keeps getting into trouble.I swear I'll never get a moments rest until she graduates.
 
“Alright, my ruling on this is that the Detentions given are voided, in addition only fifty points will be taken away from Gryffindor. Ms. Kai I expect you to be more tactful next time you have something important to bring to a Professor.” He smiled at her in a kind way.
 
“Alright, I'll try Professor Dumbledore.” Brittany stated giving him a similar smile.
 
He then turned to Professor Umbridge. “Dolores, I expect you to follow the rules and not punish unjustly. You do not have the power to do such, and are also not above the rules set by the founders of this school.” He stated still smiling.
 
“Yes Albus.” She agreed, I do not have the power yet. But I will when I talk to the Minister about this. She thought contemptuously. She stormed off.
 
Snape and Dumbledore left, and everyone turned on her. “Hey Kai, that kicked ass. Not to shabby for a Gryffindork.” Blaise praised clapping her on the back. “I am sure that you'll be able to make up the points you lost. You may be a Gryffindork, but that was just beautiful.”
 
Theodore Nott nodded. “We all have wanted to see her told off as well. Not bad. The fact that you just put us back into first place for the House Cup rocks too.”
 
Draco glared at the fact that she had avoided a well deserved punishment. She had even made his best friend praise her. At least she lost points. He was still determined to get her back for slapping him.
 
The Slytherins laughed and left. They all teased her constantly, but for some reason something in her made them respect her. The teased her in a manner unlike the other Gryffindors, she actually enjoyed the playful banter. She also fought back and respected them for being people, not `evil Slytherins,' like the other Gryffindors.
 
The Gryffindors on the other hand were divided. A few of them were proud of her, including Harry, Ron, and Hermione. The others were upset at her losing so many points, even if it was for a good cause.
 
Lavender Brown glared at her, “Good going Kai, you just lost us fifty points. You actually almost cost us one-hundred. If Professor Dumbledore had not been here you'd have lost us more points, and gotten the detention you oh so obviously deserve.”
 
“Shut up! She just stood up to the only person who hates us more than Snape.” Ron defended angrily.
 
Parvati snapped. “She cost us our lead against Slytherin.”
 
“There is still more then three fourths of the year left to win them back.” Hermione shot back. Brittany's confidence was contagious.
 
Parvati's sister Padma snapped. “You know what. It doesn't matter. That stupid misfit will always cost us points. She's useless.”
 
Harry got pissed for some reason and was about to snap at her, unfortunately he saw Brittany start to cry and run off. For a girl she ran just as fast as a guy.
 
“Leave her alone you cowards. She has more courage than any of you.” Fred stated angrily making a few people jump at his sudden appearance.
 
“Courage and Bravery is what makes a Gryffindor, if anything she is a Gryffindor through and through.” George continued.
 
“She took on Umbridge, when no one else would.” The twins scolded simultaneously. They had come up to the group looking for the Ron, Harry, and Brittany so that they could start practice. They found practically a mob yelling at Brittany. She was like a sister to them, and no one insults a Weasley, not while the twins were around.
 
The other students glared at them, but stayed silent. Seamus stood up to them though. “It doesn't matter, there is a line between bravery and stupidity, and that damn git crossed it. She's no Gryffindor. She accepts Slytherins, is even kind to them. She should be in their house, she doesn't belong here.”
 
Dumbledore and Snape had not gotten too far from the group of Students before Brittany stumbled into them. “My dear what is wrong?” Dumbledore asked.
 
“I wanna go home. I can't take it anymore. I just wanna go home! No one likes me but Harry, Ron, and Hermione.” She cried as she clung to Dumbledore. Even now while I am pissed I have to keep up this lie that Snape is not my dad. I want revenge. It's just not fair.I can't even hug my own dad.
 
Snape was then storming down the halls. Those Gryffindors will pay. He thought angrily. Once he reached the group of students he yelled, yes he actually yelled. “One hundred points from Gryffindor for your atrocious behavior. You should be ashamed of yourselves. Not even the Slytherins that you think are dirt can be this cruel to one of their own. You are lucky none of you worthless cretins are in my house. I'd have had you expelled on the spot.”
 
That shut the crowd up. They had lost twice as many points ad Brittany had. Some more people felt that they were wrong for being mean to her. She was just trying to keep Umbridge from becoming a Tyrant. There were still about half of the Gryffindor that disliked her even more. They figured it was all her fault Gryffindor was now in last place for the House Cup.
 
After crying for a minute after Snape left, Brittany sighed. She stopped crying immediately, “Do you think he really thought I was depressed?” Brittany whispered.
 
“I believe he did.” Dumbledore whispered back, smiling with his eyes twinkling.
 
“I was just really mad, and I figured sending him after them was fitting.” Brittany smiled her conspiratory smile.
 
“You remind me of your mother sometimes, but right now you have more of your fathers in you than you even know.” He smiled before walking away. (AN: No that was not a mistype. I meant for that s to be there. You'll find out about that more later. It has to do with her mother as well as Harry, Snape, and Someone else.)
 
“I don't suppose you'll tell me who she is will you?” She begged.
 
“That is for your father to explain. It is not my place.” He smiled before whisking away down the halls.
 
Brittany was even angrier. She stormed off to the Quidditch Pitch for Practice. Seeing no one was there yet she pulled out her Journal.
 
Well Once again I made a fool of myself. I can never do anything right. I really do fit in better with the Slytherins, understandably. I wish that I was not such a disappointment. It just angers me so much that I want to scream to the world who I am. With Voldemort still out there I can't. Well the Slytherins don't hate me today. I cost us fifty points, and yelled at that stupid fat toad. It was a beautiful experience. I know she is going to retaliate, so I'll have to be ready. It is sad that I have to have Harry, Ron, and Hermione defend me. You know what. I am sick of being a misfit. I am going to fit in even if it kills me. I will be mean to the Slytherins if I have to, I will not cost us points, and I will gain back all the points I lost us today. I'm sick of being hated. I am the Gryffindor Misfit, and I am striking back.
 
 
AN: How'd you like it? Too much anger and drama, not enough of it, just the right amount? Good, bad, acceptable, crap? Tell me what you think. I want to know what my readers like to read. That way I can write better chapters. Tell me, oh and my readers who liked my last chapter, if you hate this chapter enough to stop reading, tell me and I can try and make it better. Remember Reviews help make the world go around. Well at least my world.♠♣♥ 6;™¦â˜ºâ˜»â‚ªâ ;‚ªâ‚ªâ‚ª
