Chapter 28, p.625-626
"Oh, I expect she really fancied herself sitting up there in the Head's office," said Hermione viciously, as they walked up to the stone steps into the entrance hall. "Lording it over all the other teachers, the stupid puffed-up, power-crazy old -"
"Now, do you really want to finish that sentence, Granger?"
Draco Malfoy had slid out from behind the door, closely followed by Crabbe and Goyle. His pale, pointed face was alight with malice.
"Afraid I'm going to have to dock a few points from Gryffindor and Hufflepuff," he drawled.
"It's only the teachers that can dock points from Houses, Malfoy," said Ernie at once.
"Yeah, we're prefects too, remember?" snarled Ron.
"I know prefects can't dock points, Weasel King," sneered Malfoy; Crabbe and Goyle sniggered. "But members of the Inquisitorial Squad -"
"The what?" said Hermione sharply.
"The Inquisitorial Squad, Granger," said Malfoy, pointing toward a tiny silver I upon his robes beneath his prefect's badge. "A select group of students who are supportive of the Ministry of Magic, handpicked by Professor Umbridge. Anyway, members of the Inquisitorial Squad do have the power to dock points....So, Granger, I'll have five from you for being rude about our new headmistress....Macmillan, five for contradicting me....Five because I don't like you, Potter...Weasley, your shirts untucked, so I'll have another five for that....Oh yeah, I forgot, you're a Mudblood, Granger, so ten for that...."
Ron pulled out his wand, but Hermione pushed it away, whispering, "Don't!"
"Wise move, Granger," breathed Malfoy. "New Head, new times...Be good now, Potty...Weasel King..."
