Too bad she and Luther would probably never get those tips about going after frogs because being doubly hit by the Tickling Charm?
HILARIOUS!
At least in the case of portrait-Umbridge it was. Aria resorted to giggling intensely due to Luther’s comments and to Umbridge’s hideous laugh. “It reminds me of fingernails scraping along on blackboards, or something of the sort!” An ugly sound indeed!
Another portrait? “Don’t mind if we do! Um… how about the Dementors?” Was Luther okay with that or did he really fear them?
A frown marred Luther's face as he realized Aria was right. The Toad's laughter really sounded terrible. Trying to block out her laughter, Luther nodded to Aria's suggestion and said "
That's a brilliant idea. After you milady. By the way, do you know how to cast the Patronus charm?"
SPOILER!!: Luther knows better than to pry

She wasn’t going to lie, but she didn’t want to frighten anyone with the idea of Inferi at Hogwarts! “No, he wasn’t an Auror,” she said. “It was a completely unexpected attack someplace you wouldn’t think Inferi would be." That was the only clue she’d give as to how and where it happened. “He helped a lot of people, but he was injured fighting the Inferi.”
Thinking about what her dad had gone through made her angry all over again! She was sorely tempted to send another spell at the Inferi portrait, but she didn’t trust herself not to do worse than red sparks. Fortunately, Luther’s compliment distracted her, and her face brightened. “Thank you!” she replied with a smile and a dramatic cape twirl. Asdfjkl! He knew The Phantom of the Opera?! She thought she was the only one! “Yes, that’s right. I made the costume myself.”
Desiree giggled to herself as she watched Luther and Aria’s interaction with the Umbridge portrait. Suddenly an idea occurred to her, and she wondered what would happen if Umbridge started burping up slugs. Not that she had a particular vendetta against Dolores Umbridge, she was just curious. “What do you think she’d do if she started burping slugs?” she asked Luther and Aria, jerking her head toward the Umbridge portrait.
Luther noticed Desiree's anger towards the creatures so he didn't want to pry any more. He said "
Oh, once again I am sorry to hear that. I hope he is better now."
"
That twirl was perfect, Desiree. Also, my utmost congratulations for the costume, milady." said Luther with a bow.
Then he frowned again as he said "
I really would rather not see her normal face, let alone a slug-burping Umbridge. Even the dementors sound better than that scenario, to be honest." and after pausing a moment he continued "
Could I interest you in a wonderful experience of trying to make a dementor burp slugs, milady?" He really was enjoying this arrogant Muggle gentleman/magician act.
