Hermione is a must. Her intelligence and extensive knowledge of magic and Hogwarts rules would be invaluable. Ron would be involved too. He's Harry's close friend and has a bit of a mischievous streak himself. Fred and George Weasley are very likely to be part of it. They are known for their love of pranks and their dislike of authority figures like Umbridge. Luna Lovegood could also be included. She has a unique perspective and might come up with some really out - of - the - box ideas for Harry's revenge on Umbridge. Plus, her presence would add an interesting and somewhat dreamy element to the whole revenge plot.
In some fanfictions, Harry might use his magic skills in a creative way to embarrass Umbridge. For example, he could make her signature pink outfits turn into ridiculous colors every time she tries to be authoritative. Another scenario could be that Harry reveals some of Umbridge's darkest secrets in front of the whole school, which would surely be a form of revenge as she values her reputation so much.
One way could be that Harry uses his skills in Transfiguration. He might transfigure Umbridge's quills into snakes during one of her strict writing punishments. The snakes would startle her and disrupt her class.
Snape could face some backlash from the Ministry. If they find out that he was involved in getting rid of Umbridge, they might try to find ways to punish him or at least keep a closer eye on him. However, his skills at subterfuge would likely help him avoid any serious consequences.
However, it could also cause some division. There might be some students or staff who think that revenge is not the proper way, even against someone as cruel as Umbridge. This could lead to arguments and a split in the Hogwarts community, at least for a while.
In some fanfictions, Harry discovers a long - forgotten magic charm that has the power to make a person's worst nightmares come true. He uses it on Umbridge, and she is so terrified by the nightmares that she runs away from Hogwarts. The charm could be something that is based on the person's deep - seated fears, and for Umbridge, it might be related to losing her power and being publicly shamed.
Betrayal is a common theme. Usually, something or someone has wronged Harry deeply, which sets him on the path of revenge. For example, it could be the Ministry of Magic turning against him or a supposed friend revealing his secrets.
One possible plot could be that evidence of her illegal use of power and abuse in Hogwarts is finally uncovered. Maybe a student bravely comes forward with proof of her cruel punishments and false accusations. This leads to the Ministry of Magic having no choice but to arrest her.
Dumbledore, even if not in person, could have left behind some clues or resources that help Harry. Also, the Order of the Phoenix members who are still around and believe in Harry's cause. They have their own skills and connections that could prove useful. For example, Moody could teach Harry some advanced defensive magic techniques to use against the Ministry's security measures.
