She even reached for Luther’s shoulder so that she could steady herself, otherwise she might have collapsed from sheer mirth. “Imagine being pursued by FROGS, Luther!” Bahahaha!
The girl eventually sobered up and she nodded to her friend. “I’d be delighted to, young Sir!’’ Her wand was unholstered. “Rictusempra!’’ The Charm hit the painted frog lady squarely on the forehead. The effects were quite funny to watch. “Is it just me or does Umbridge have an ugly laugh?”
As Luther started to sober up a bit, he heard Aria's comment and lost it again. "
Well, there is no need to imagine. Let's ask the expert! Madam Umbridge, do you have any recommendations for wooing frogs as you did?" he said. Between his cackles, he heard Aria casting the Tickling Charm.
And Aria was right. That was probably the ugliest laugh he heard. "
I wish I didn't have to hear this. I agree." said Luther, then he turned to the portrait and continued "
I would say that I was sorry, Madam Umbridge, but one must not lie after all, right?" and cast the Tickling Charm himself on the portrait. As the portrait's cackles intensified, Luther turned to Aria and said "
Would you like to visit another portrait, by the way?"
