I've also been toying (meaning I've casually mentioned it here and there) with the idea of Umbridge coming back somehow. Look, the bitch has a lot of powers, SC can't keep her down for too long.

And she's got enough Death Eater friends that they could get her a new wand to solve that problem. Of course, she couldn't go the same route as last time, pretending to be a headmaster so I've also been toying with the idea of having her show up in disguise (a la polyjuice potion thank you HP canon). No one would be able to recognize her unless she ran out (and she wouldn't until she decided she didn't need the disguise anymore).

I think I'd keep her from actually being a teacher because that'd just give it away too fast but maybe have her set up some temporary spot in town and lure (which sound so sordid) kids and adults to do her dirty work on or to convince them to do it for her.

Of course, she gets found out, exposed, banished/killed and that's that but she's awesome fun for me to play and I know a looooot of people didn't get to play off her last time that are here now.

And that's a lot more than I thought I'd write but the ideas are percolating!

That could tie into that power-drainy-token idea we (and I recognize this may be a "we" that means "I") keep poking at, couldn't it? I think it could use an Umbridge to run things in town for the Big Bad.

Oooh I like that idea. Another callback to FH history :D

I'm actually really digging the idea of a 'Revenge on Fandom' plot. Like, a team up of various bad guys that have been repelled in various plots, all pooling their resources thinking that this time, they'll have what they were missing last time, and they'll be able to take whatever they're after.

...this is a very vague idea, admittedly.
