Identified a potential plot hole - This would have to take place in the leadup to Harry's Skype call with Sirius, as Dumbledoor would've cast "skinnusremovus" on Umbridge if she tried this in the scene of his exile.
Correcting with the following:
Malfoid spends this year on awkward terms with Pottah and his gang, feelings about the Yule Ball w/Harry conflicting with the ascent of the Dark Lord.
She runs begrudging cover for the gang, since her feelings are still limited to Harry.
That is, until, Harry enlists her assistance in the Skype call, though not telling her who it's to. This results in Malfoid complaining about Harry's lack of trust in her during the plan as she and Ginny attempt to intercept any Inquisitorial Squad interference.
Queue Ginny teasing Malfoid about "may as well confess you love him."
"Love? Pottah wouldn't know love if it smacked him, he's never even kissed a girl."
"Oh? What about Cho?"
"Cho is - What?"
Ginny's revelation infuriates Malfoid who, stunning Ginny, turns on the gang in a moment of emotional turmoil.
She summons the Inquisitorial Squad and the gang are caught.
Scene begins with Umbridge acting odd, eventually culminating in the aforementioned 'Crucio.'
Oh, and I don't mean she threatens to use it.
No, she points her want at Harry, everyone thinking she's going to use 'Legilimens' or something, and then...
"Crucio."
Bonus points if this happens in front of Neville/Nelly.
Malfoid can only choke on her horror, but it's cut off by Harry and Harmione's screaming.
Ammendment concluded.
Polling went through a similar arc to Covid-Era conspiracies where you're just better off believing the opposite of whatever mainstream sources claim.
These mfs will ask shit like "Do you skin and eat people alive on the street OR love your family? Yes or No only."
Then they act surprised that their predictions are less accurate than asking a methed-up tweaker what he thinks and calling it prophecy.
That quote there is some sad cope.
I don't know about you guys but I never answer unknown calls, and when I get texted a poll request, I ignore it.
I assume polling outfits are pathological liars and their actual mission is to depress republican voter turn out.
And even though I think the GOP often sucks and is generally a let down, I'll still crawl through broken glass to vote against democrats because I despise them and everything about their horrible philosophy.
I assume I'm not in the minority here.
Imagine being a straight A+ Hogwarts student and having to REPEAT A YEAR because that fucker Potter is waging an armed guerilla rebellion against Umbridge and screaming wizard Hitler has returned from the grave
Since she gets hungry a lot I can see Harry getting her one of those bottomless pouch things for snacks but instead she just puts whole ass meals in there
Harry wandered down the train, looking for a compartment that didn’t have a girl in it. Just as all hope was lost, he saw a short haired student in massively oversized robes sitting alone. The short hair made Harry think he’d finally found another guy, but this was Ronna Weasley!

Which would inadvertently result in Harry's capture and Umbridge choosing to use Crucio on Harry.
Something which would haunt Malfoid's character up to and including when nearly uses it on Harry in the bathroom scene of Half-Blood Prince.
The character arc, the flaws..
It's peak man, holy shit...
