Alla:
I thought I will take a break from this topic for a while, but I
think I need more clarification.
Why am I not talking about the book, when I am speculating about
potential consequences Umbridge could have forced upon DA members?
Now ** of course** this is speculation, but this is **canon-based**
speculation, no?
We ** know** about what Umbridge does to people who resist her.
Granted, mainly on the example of Harry, but not only because her
Decrees are written towards all students.
So, when I am saying that based on the **fact** that Harry was put
in front of Wizengamot and based on the **fact** that Umbridge was
about to put Cruciatus on Harry, do a bodily damage on Fred and
George, she **could** have put all DA members in front of Wizengamot
and/or physically hurt them, is it ** so** far fetched to think that
Umbridge could have done that?
Not to me. Why? Because Umbridge **already** did those things to
people who resist her and what do DA members did? Resisted her,
right?
So, to me I am talking about stuff that definitely could have
happened. I am **speculating** but based on similar circumstances
that happened in canon already.
JMO,
Alla
