I just couldn't add here similar quote from the end of the OOP (the 38th 
chapter).
`Yeah, she shows signs of life if you do this,' said Ron, and with his 
tongue he made soft clipclopping
noises. Umbridge sat bolt upright, looking around wildly.
`Anything wrong, Professor?' called Madam Pomfrey, poking her head 
around her office door.
`No no' said Umbridge, sinking back into her pillows. `No, I must have 
been dreaming'
Hermione and Ginny muffled their laughter in the bedclothes.
`Speaking of centaurs,' said Hermione, when she had recovered a little, 
`who's Divination
teacher now? Is Firenze staying?'
