Chapter 1004 Conflict
Retribution!
It is definitely retribution!
After Umbridge tried to blow up the radio and was injured due to a violent explosion caused by the explosion curse colliding with the radio, and was carried into the school hospital, the whole school students cheered and celebrated.
Because Gryffindor students were asking around about the content of last night's broadcast, the news about the Wizard's Observatory broadcast spread among the school's students at an alarming speed. Everyone was curious about the past of the pink toad.
According to information leaked by Hufflepuff students whose radios have not been confiscated, Umbridge actually has nothing to do with the Selwyn family. Her father is not dead at all, and he is not a Wizengamot. Outstanding figure - Umbridge's father was the old Umbridge who worked as a cleaner at the Ministry of Magic.
This incident broke out, and everyone got a new understanding of their senior investigator.
Although the students at Hogwarts did not feel as strongly about this matter as others, Umbridge's series of slutty moves still made people look down upon and despise her.
Of course, the information leaked by the Wizard's Watch Station goes beyond these things. For example, the station actually invited a group of colleagues who claimed to be Umbridge to appear as guests on the broadcast station, and together they broke the news about Umbridge's various dark histories.
Of course, the so-called guests are fake, but they are real people, and they still use compound potions to disguise themselves, making it impossible to find any flaws.
Sirius and Lupine's operations were so exciting.
“Umbridge is extremely good at using false sentiments to please her superiors.”
“Umbridge often ruthlessly took credit for the work of other colleagues and claimed it as her own.”
Looking at the Hufflepuff students who were full of excitement and talking non-stop, many Gryffindor and Ravenclaw students regretted not being able to hear the radio broadcast.
Especially the Gryffindor students, all cast resentful glances at Albert, even though they all knew that it was inevitable that the radio would be confiscated by Umbridge.
But after experiencing this, everyone was very interested in the Wizard Lookout and started thinking about how to get themselves a radio.
"By the way, the radio said that Umbridge can summon a physical patronus, which is said to be a Persian cat. Do you think this is true?"
“Can a guy like her still summon a patron saint?”
Many people don't believe that Umbridge can summon the Patronus. This thing sounds false.
In everyone’s impression, only a righteous wizard can summon a patron saint.
And Umbridge looks like an evil old witch no matter what.
Furthermore, the Patronus Charm is undoubtedly a very advanced spell, and many wizards are unable to summon a physical Patronus in their lifetime.
Umbridge’s various poor performances prove that she is not a good wizard.
Of course, if you want to get an explanation, asking Albert is undoubtedly the fastest way. People are casting inquiring glances at the genius of Hogwarts.
Finally, Albert's old friend Digory came to ask him for advice on this profound question, while others pricked up their ears and eavesdropped.
"Summoning the Patron Saint has nothing to do with the good or evil of the wizard. The success of the spell actually depends on the mood of the spell caster." Albert looked at Digory with a helpless face and calmly explained: "If you summon it with malice, If it’s a patron saint, there’s a high chance that the spell will backfire and backfire on the wizard himself, because the patron saint spell needs to recall happy memories before it can be used.”
"So, even a dark wizard can successfully summon the Patron Saint as long as he uses happy memories to summon the Patron Saint." Albert glanced at the stunned students and continued to explain, "The so-called happy memories are not It is not the happy memories brought about by negative emotions such as torture, but some positive and positive memories, such as getting good grades, going on a date with your girlfriend for the first time, winning the Quidditch championship with your friends, and other positive emotions.”
“Of course, dark wizards do not summon Patronuses, partly because they are afraid of spell backlash, and partly because they do not need a Patronus to resist dementors because they are evil enough in their own right.”
“You should take the time to give everyone a few lessons on Defense Against the Dark Arts. This year’s Defense Against the Dark Arts is really bad.” Digory sighed, speaking out what countless students felt.
In fact, he didn't want to take the Defense Against the Dark Arts theory class at all, and he hated Umbridge from the bottom of his heart. However, considering that his father worked in the Ministry of Magic, and in order to avoid causing trouble to the family, Digory did not give up directly. That course.
“Umbridge will probably be unhappy, and…”
“Damn it, you care that she’s unhappy,” muttered Diggory.
"I'm very busy." Albert brought the topic back, "Of course, theoretically speaking, although there is a slight gap in magical power between wizards, even wizards with weak magical power can still support their use. For most spells, the difference is probably that wizards with strong magical power have an easier time using spells that require strong magical power."
“However, even if the magic power is average, as long as you practice seriously, you can actually use the Patronus Charm. It is nothing more than the time it takes to practice the spell, so Umbridge mastering the Patronus Charm is not surprising.”
“The radio said that Umbridge’s ability to become the director of the Office for the Abuse of Magic is related to her ability to summon a physical Patronus. Is this true?” Someone else asked.
"There is a saying in the wizarding world that wizards who can physically protect the saint are called "just people". In some aspects, there are bonus points. Umbridge can become the director of the Office for the Prohibition of Abuse of Magic. She can only say the Patronus Charm. It’s just one of those reasons.”
“Just people?”
When several students heard Albert say this, they began to lean over and retching. Obviously no one thought that Umbridge, who used a black magic quill to punish students, would be a just person. .
The next afternoon, Umbridge was successfully discharged from the hospital under Madam Pomfrey's instructions.
There is no way, from the beginning to now, Umbridge has been in the school hospital quite frequently.
Before that, Umbridge planned to confiscate the radios of Hufflepuff House and kill the transmission channels of those **** broadcasts.
There is no way, even the Ministry of Magic can't find the source of the wizard's watch station broadcast.
Umbridge's plan soon ran into trouble, because no one could open the door for her. The Hufflepuff students seemed to expect that Umbridge would block the door, so they returned to the common room very early, or went directly to the common room. The library didn't give Umbridge a chance at all.
Now they all cherish the daily broadcast from the Wizard's Watch Station, which is one of the sources of happiness that brings them.
The content of today’s broadcast did not disappoint them. It continued what happened last time.
“When she became a low-level intern at the Office for the Prohibition of the Abuse of Magic, she once tried to pursue the director of the Office for the Prohibition of the Abuse of Magic, who took good care of her.”
“She has always wanted to have a relationship with her boss, and everyone knows this.”
“I almost really thought they would get together.”
“At that time, Umbridge was a hard-working and ambitious girl, at least on the surface. Everyone liked her very much and took good care of her. But, I didn’t expect..."
“Yes, later everyone saw her true face clearly.”
“After she confessed the truth when she was drunk one time, even the director who was very fond of her kept away from her.”
“In order to squeeze into the circle of pure-blood wizards, she will always talk to pure-blood wizards about her extremely cold-blooded and cruel views in order to gain their approval.”
“There is no denying that this approach has been successful.”
“Umbridge rose through the ranks and became Director of the Office for the Prohibition of the Misuse of Magic before she was thirty.”
At this moment, the door to the Hufflepuff common room suddenly opened, and Professor Sprout led Umbridge into the Hufflepuff common room.
At this moment, the radio on the fireplace was talking about the recent rumors about the romance between Umbridge and Fudge.
"This is actually ridiculous. Both Umbridge and Fudge are old. Even if Umbridge really wants to start a relationship with her boss, I think Fudge will not like her, unless Fudge has special tastes."
“However, there may be some hidden secret between the two, otherwise Umbridge would not be promoted to...”
Boom!
The radio was suddenly destroyed by an explosion curse.
Only, this time, the radio did not explode. Instead, a piece of black smoke floated up, forming a text: I wish you happiness!
Everyone turned to look at the direction where the spell came from, and they all noticed Professor Sprout and Umbridge who had just entered the lounge.
"I remember that radios were banned in school." Umbridge glanced coldly at the students in the common room.
“Professor, this radio appeared on its own and automatically played that broadcast.” Prefect Ernie MacMillan said bravely: “If you don’t believe me, you can ask everyone, we can’t turn it off.”
Ernie MacMillan’s words were echoed.
“Didn’t I turn it off just now?” The fake smile on Umbridge’s face grew brighter.
“Professor, we are not allowed to use black magic.” Ernie MacMillan cast a pleading look at Professor Sprout.
"You shouldn't have used the explosive curse rashly just now." Professor Sprout looked at Umbridge unkindly and said coldly: "If it exploded like the last one, all the students here would be injured. , and I remember that the Ministry of Magic does not support the use of dark magic."
At this moment, all the students came back to their senses and looked at Umbridge in shock.
This guy definitely did it on purpose.
If the radio exploded, everyone would be hurt.
The students in the lounge all stared at Umbridge unkindly, but the latter said nonchalantly, "There are always special circumstances."
“Special circumstances?” Professor Sprout’s tone became even colder. She turned to look at her students and asked, "Who else has a radio? Take them all out!"
"No more professor, we don't have a radio here. When the school banned the use of radios, the student union president asked us to confirm again and again." Ernie MacMillan caused trouble, "But I know where there is a radio, Slytherin There should be a similar thing over there."
"Very good." Professor Sprout said to himself, "I will accompany you to find Snape and ask him to take you into the Slytherin common room. As long as you confiscate those weird radios, the school should There’s no other radio.”
"They violated school rules and should be punished." Umbridge's expression was a bit gloomy, and she obviously didn't intend to let it go.
"It's a violation of school rules, are you sure?" Professor Sprout looked at Umbridge and his tone became more and more unkind. "The school rules do not allow the use of radios, but they did not use radios because the radios play their own broadcasts. If you want to punish , we should go find the owner of the ghost radio."
"And, I think you should have known about this a few days ago, and you didn't come to help them solve the ghost radio problem, but you planned to punish them for this reason?"
Professor Sprout would not let Umbridge punish her students.
Umbridge took a deep look at Professor Sprout, said "Very well", then turned and left.
