now I (mtwelovett) reply:
Thanks Tom, I think that a time turner is plausable, since she seems
to always be around, in two (if not more) places at the same time.(and
she may have some gadgets along the lines of some of Dumbledore's)
(This doesn't help professors like McGonnagal who have a similar
schedule as the DADA professor without having more than one house in a
class per year though.) But does this open another can of worms in
regard to when she catches the "DA group"(HRHNGL) in her office and
they(HH) lead her to the forest. If that was in fact Umbridge2 that
caught them and went into the forest how does that effect Umbridge1?
But then this time travel stuff can get compicated anyway.
cheers!
