Neri:
This isn't very accurate either. If Marietta was able to testify that
the DA meetings were going on for months, Umbridge would have expelled
Harry and all the rest of the DA members, as she had meant to do. Only
because Marietta couldn't testify, Dumbledore was able to claim that
today was only to be the first meeting, therefore saving the DA
members and taking all the blame himself.
