Chapter 403 Umbridge becomes the principal? Toads also eat Kunpeng meat!
“What’s going on?” Ted and the others asked quickly.
"I'm not sure. I only heard about it from Hagrid after Toad posted the education order. She also threatened to expel Hagrid and Trelawney!"
Jerry didn’t know what was going on. Why did the sky change when he woke up? He knew the news less than an hour earlier than Ted and the others.
At this moment, Ron suddenly tugged at the corner of Ted's clothes. Ted looked up and saw Umbridge, Filch and some students from the Snake Yard, walking over arrogantly.
Umbridge was very proud today. She walked with her chin raised and an uncontrollable smile on her lips.
But what makes her uncomfortable is that she is really not tall—she is as tall as a vat, which is thicker but not as tall as a vat, except for her buttocks, which is all about her waist. It's okay if you stand far away, but once you get closer, you have to look up at these students headed by Ted!
But today was a happy day after all, so she tolerated her discomfort. Jie Ziyin said: "Epiphany, as well as Granger, Longbottom, and Weasley... you have been away from school for more than a week without any reason, and you must be punished!"
Umbridge felt very happy. Previously, Ted had been relying on Professor McGonagall's favor and did not take the Defense Against the Dark Arts class.
Ron Jerry and the others are also imitating each other, and they are very disrespectful to themselves.
Now we can finally cause trouble for them!
Ron immediately stopped working after hearing this, "We have asked for leave! It was Professor McGonagall who assigned us a mission!"
"Oh ~ oh oh ~ Professor McGonagall? I'm sorry, she was injured last night and is currently being treated at St. Mungo's. In order to facilitate her recovery, as the principal, I have decided to temporarily suspend her duties as vice principal. Yours Missions don’t count!”
Umbridge was ecstatic in her heart, and she couldn't hold back the joy on her face. The feeling of being transformed into a superior person was simply wonderful.
As the saying goes, once you have the power, you will carry out your orders!
This principal’s power is hard-won!
If I didn’t show it, I would really be ashamed of myself for suffering for such a long time.
"Headmaster? Who accepts your fate as the headmaster?! The only headmaster is Dumbledore! He is the only headmaster!" Neville was angry. He respected Dumbledore very much.
Not to mention, Neville is a man now. He is a little over 1.85 meters tall and has a strong body and an imposing manner. When he said these words, his expression was serious and his voice was solemn, which instantly stunned everyone around him!
Is this still Longbottom? When did he become so handsome? !
It is difficult to recognize a person's changes if we meet him every day. Only in a sudden moment will you realize that the person in your previous impression is no longer the same person.
Umbridge was also stunned by Neville's words, but it only lasted for two or three seconds. Just these two or three seconds made her so angry that her face turned red!
Her voice couldn't be restrained, it was so sharp: "I am the principal! Principal Umbridge! The education order issued by the Ministry of Magic this morning! If you have bad eyesight, come closer and take a closer look!"
Neville's denial raised Umbridge's nerves, and she flew into a rage.
However, she still remembered that her magic level was probably no match for the students in front of her, so she had no intention of taking action.
The only way to make amends is in language, hoping to stand firm legally and suppress these disobedient students as the principal and officials of the Ministry of Magic.
However, after saying these words, Ted smiled.
Ted's expression was gentle with a slight smile, and his tone was calm: "Ms. Umbridge, I don't mean to look down on the Ministry of Magic. But what needs to be emphasized is that Hogwarts was established more than a thousand years ago. The Ministry of Magic was only established in 1707 and has a history of less than three hundred years."
"Although we all abide by the laws of the Ministry of Magic, Hogwarts is a magic school. It does not know any laws! Only by being recognized and personally taking over the power from the previous headmaster can you become the headmaster of this magic school. Otherwise, you can become the headmaster of this magic school. I can’t enter the principal’s office at all, and naturally I can’t exercise any of the principal’s powers.”
"This is a necessary procedure and an established rule. Just like no one can teach Defense Against the Dark Arts for a whole year..."
“Ms. Umbridge, maybe you should communicate with Dumbledore?” Ted gave the suggestion kindly~
Ted's knowledge of this school is not much worse than Dumbledore's.
And Umbridge graduated from Hogwarts after all, so she still knows many things - what Ted said is true.
Because of this, she felt even more embarrassed and humiliated!
This hateful student actually humiliated himself in this way? !
Umbridge is very concerned about her identity as a mixed-race wizard, and is particularly sensitive to topics such as her qualifications.
What she couldn't accept even more was that Ted's words were all true and she was not qualified... It was like a whip hitting her in the face!
"I was appointed as the Headmaster by the Minister of Magic, His Excellency Fudge. I am the Headmaster! I want to expel you! Fire you **** students!" Umbridge was already furious, and her sharp and trembling voice sounded like it was squeezed out from between her teeth. , the fat on the face is trembling.
But Ted shrugged, turned and left.
"Madam, it is your right to expel me. But you need to enter the principal's office and cross my name off the admission book with the pen of acceptance. Otherwise, I will be accepted and protected by this school. No one can drive me away. I."
“This is magic. Magic doesn’t know words, but it doesn’t care about any laws.”
“Take me with you when you write down names.” Ron said with a playful smile as he quickly followed Ted’s footsteps.
“And me!” Neville turned and left, striding like a meteor.
“And me!” Hermione looked proud.
“And me!” Jerry said.
"I!"
"do not forget me."
“Take me along with you…”
It was almost time to have lunch, but in the blink of an eye, a third of the people in the auditorium were empty—all following Ted and the others!
Umbridge's face turned blue after being scolded by Ted in public in the school auditorium.
You didn’t take me seriously when I wasn’t the principal. Why don’t you take me seriously now that I’m the principal? Don’t I, the principal, take them for nothing? !
They must be punished! Punish them hard! Otherwise, will other students still take me seriously? !
…
Just when Umbridge was saying harsh words in her heart, Ted and his friends had already arrived near Hagrid's hut.
Hagrid originally had a class today, but Umbridge suspended both him and Trelawney.
It was also a weak point. Umbridge would not dare to suspend Snape, otherwise she would have to die on the spot.
In other words, they bullied the two gentlemen, Hagrid and Trelawney, and used them to establish their authority.
“Hagrid? Hagrid, are you there?”
Ted actually sensed that Hagrid was in the room, wiping his tears and drinking mead.
Otherwise, he is a melon. If he is asked to fight the Death Eater dark wizard, he will rush over with a roar.
But he didn't dare to say a few harsh words to Umbridge, the representative of the Ministry of Magic.
Having had his wand broken since he was a child, ostracized from the mainstream magical community, and imprisoned in Azkaban, he hated the Ministry of Magic as much as he feared it.
What a half-giant, he was just tamed to look like this.
Ted had to give Hagrid some time to prepare, so that his embarrassment would not be seen by his friends.
“Oh! Yes! I’m here. Wait a minute, wait a minute!”
Hagrid didn't care anymore, and quickly picked up the rag that was used to clean the table and wiped it on his face, rubbed his eyes fiercely, and then went to open the door.
"Oh, Ted! Neville! Are you back? Come in, come in quickly!" Hagrid warmly greeted several people into the house.
It’s like meeting your relatives!
"Oh, Hagrid, are you drinking alone?" Ron arrogantly set up stools for his friends, and then he sat down, picked up the wine bottle on the table that was bigger than everyone else's head, and poured himself a glass. Mead.
“Wow! Excellent!” Ron just took a sniff and became excited.
This guy seems to have secretly drank a lot.
Similarly, none of the Weasley children follow the rules.
"Well~ I brewed it myself. There were a few swarms of bees in the Forbidden Forest. You know..." Hagrid hesitated to explain, a little afraid that his friends would find out that he was drinking alone here because of Umbridge. .
“Why are your eyes red?” Neville asked.
“Um...the pebble got blown into the eye!” Hagrid replied seriously.
"Yes, I know. Dumbledore, only Dumbledore can be the headmaster." Hagrid nodded, feeling much better.
Ted continued to ask: "So, what happened to Professor McGonagall? How was she injured? Who did it?!"
As soon as this matter was mentioned, Hagrid became angry: "It was done by people from the Ministry of Magic! Last night, Umbridge brought a team of people from the Ministry of Magic to the school, and she had some conflict with Professor McGonagall. One day Someone attacked Professor McGonagall from behind!"
Ted and the others passed through the fireplace in Hogsmeade and went to St. Mungo's to visit Professor McGonagall.
Professor McGonagall is okay, but her face is still a little weak. "Go back to class quickly, I'm fine... avoid that woman during this period and wait for Dumbledore to come back." Professor McGonagall instructed.
The wizard is really powerful when he is strong, and the weak is so weak.
Wizards can reshape destroyed things, make plants grow quickly, and even reverse time (time turner).
But it only takes a dagger, a bullet, or a spell to kill them.
With no precautions, someone hit him with a curse without hesitation. Professor McGonagall had to recover from her injuries for several days before she could return to school.
This is still an ordinary magic spell. Many black magic spells have permanent sequelae.
On the way back, Hermione was a little confused: "What should we do? Are we going to avoid Umbridge these days?"
Ron looked uncomfortable: "I'm going to make that toad proud!"
Ted comforted his friends: "Don't worry, I'll take care of her. You just keep a low profile and ignore her. I'll go do something..."
Ted did not go back to school with his friends, and he did not feel well about Umbridge becoming the headmaster.
Just a clown, a funny show.
Just like what he said, he can't enter the principal's office and he doesn't have all the permissions. How can he be a bad principal?
Ted was more concerned about the meaning behind Umbridge's sudden appearance.
She definitely did this under Fudge's instructions.
Ted asked Puck to call up all the recent communications between Umbridge and Fudge.
As expected, I saw Fudge contacting Umbridge and asking her to become the principal and take control of Hogwarts.
Fudge himself also had many abnormal operations in the magic network.
He contacted some IDs whose coordinates were remote and who usually behaved strangely.
However, these people were more cautious. Fudge talked to them and were led to meet offline.
Fudge must be planning something, and it's not a small one.
Let Umbridge take control of Hogwarts? What kind of crazy batch operation is this!
Unless it is a confusing operation like in the original work, where Fudge has already broken the pot, how is it possible?
Dumbledore isn’t wanted, either?
Why are you unilaterally removing someone else's principal and putting your own person in the position? It's unfair and unjust. !
Fudge in this world is in a much better situation now due to the changes in the world line. He wouldn't do this for no reason.
There must be some motive to support him in doing this!
Fudge had been acting a little strange before, but it seems that he finally started to take action.
This is what Ted wants to check.
…
Lucius: "Ted, I feel something is wrong. There is something wrong with the flow of Galleons in the British wizarding community recently!"
Lucius had been pretending to be dead for several months, pretending to be a foreign trader. This is also one of the identities he has prepared for a long time.
As a pure-blood family, he was the best at making money, but now he is engaged in buying and selling. He has a very sensitive understanding of the economic situation.
He felt that some people have been hoarding supplies in large amounts recently, and the prices have gone up a bit, and they are all strategic supplies.
The liquidity of gold galleons is also somewhat problematic, as large sums of money often come in and out of the market.
On the other hand, the news from Barty Jr. is also quite unusual: "Fudge is recruiting cronies at the Ministry of Magic, and a small group of people have become his die-hard loyalists. They gather very frequently, and it seems like there is something big going on."
"I'm trying to join in, but Fudge is also very cautious. I still need some time to prove myself."
Little Barty, a young boy of 25, is quite talented. It’s almost time to break into Fudge’s core team.
But Ted didn’t have the inclination to wait, he had a more labor-saving way.
Choose the weakest wizard in Fudge's team, knock him out and capture him alive while it's dark, and start invading the memory.
“Sure enough, something happened! This is all about magical protection of secrets. Unfortunately, this level is not enough.”
This wizard has magic that seals the relevant secrets in his mind. But it took Ted ten minutes to crack it.
Then he saw some scenes of Fudge talking to him and their small group meeting.
After reading it, Ted was a little confused: "What is Fudge going to do?"
If it had been anyone else, Ted would have thought he was trying to overthrow the Ministry of Magic!
But Fudge is the Minister of Magic, why should he push himself down? !
It seems that although Fudge has gathered a group of people, he has not told everything.
But it doesn’t matter, there are two if there is one, just pick one of Fudge’s cronies.
After a few hours, Ted was getting closer and closer to the truth, and his brows were getting tighter and tighter.
Fudge is actually involved with the goblins of Gringotts?
And the fairies in the magic world are secretly preparing supplies?
What are these people going to do?
What is Fudge going to do again?
Ted followed people all the way, and when the moon was high in the sky, he actually dug out a secret factory from the mind of a goblin.
“Wand factory?! Goblins are making wands in batches?”
The magic wand is so important!
Most wizards in this world have almost lost their ability to cast spells without their wands. Completely surrendered.
It can be said that the wand is half the wizard's life.
In the original book, James Potter relaxed his vigilance in his home protected by the Fidelity Curse, and did not take his wand when he was attacked by Voldemort. As a result, he died immediately.
If he had the magic wand in hand, there was still a high chance that he could buy his wife and son time to escape. Although he probably won't be able to escape Voldemort's pursuit.
As punishment for rebellion, goblins are not allowed to hold wands.
Elves without wands have limited spellcasting abilities and only have some instinctive magic, which is incomparable to wizards.
The enforcement of this prohibition may be more stringent than the secrecy law.
The wizard has violated the secrecy law, and the most he can do is be fined and spend a few more months in Azkaban. But if a goblin holds a wand illegally, he might be executed!
Because they were all senior members of the Fairy Revenge Army, they would take the risk of beheading.
So, is it the goblin who is causing trouble? What role did Fudge play in this?
