Chapter 1012 The Song of the Toad
Listening to the three people talking about the entire process of the establishment of "DA", Albert was not too surprised. Harry and Hermione were both influenced by him and were much more mature than in the original work. In addition, Umbridge and the Ministry of Magic successfully gave With everyone gathering enough hatred, "DA" must be able to play a greater role and teach more students who are good at defense against dark arts.
The only thing that surprised Albert was how much Hermione attached importance to the "Self-Defense Guide".
To be honest, "Self-Defense Guide" is the first manuscript written by Albert. Later, after he made further progress in defense against black magic, he revised the manuscript.
Now Isobel is still helping to organize it, and the "Self-Defense Guide" is actually based on Isobel's suggestion. It was modified from those abandoned manuscripts. In Isobel's original words: This is what gives people watch.
“The Wizard Card Club is going to be suspended?”
Hearing Albert’s words, Lee Jordan’s face was full of confusion. Although I had expected this day for a long time, I didn't expect it to come so early. It's only been less than a month since school started!
“Anyway, the game has ended successfully.”
Albert doesn't care at all about the suspension of the Wizarding Card Club. It's all Toad's fault anyway. If you want to complain, just go to Umbridge.
Yes, it's all Umbridge's fault.
Albert was slowly helping Umbridge to build up his hatred. He was actually curious about when the students at Hogwarts would be unable to withstand Umbridge's oppression and completely break out in silence.
"I thought you would tamper with Toad's memory." Fred and George both had some differences. They knew that Albert would not mind playing dirty tricks on Umbridge.
“Do you really think the toad will give in easily?”
“You mean...”
"Umbridge is a typical I-can-bully-you." Albert sneered, "As someone who stands at the top of the law, no matter what he says is right, he can easily find a bunch of excuses to cause trouble for you, so When dealing with these people, don’t reason with them, use your own strengths, and our strengths are…”
“What is it?” All three of them stared.
"Our fists are stronger than Umbridge's, so it's up to us to tell the truth." Albert turned the pages of the book and said calmly, "When she is unreasonable, we can use our fists to make her act according to our reasons. .”
The three of them looked at each other, feeling that this statement was very novel. There was no doubt that Umbridge was not someone who wanted to be reasonable, but they were not someone who could be bullied.
"You can't go too far in tampering with your memory, otherwise it's easy to leave flaws." Albert continued to flip through the books in his hand.
The task of "Reading Mania" is almost completed.
To be honest, he doesn’t have high expectations for the rewards from this mission right now.
The books I have read over the years are obviously more rewarding than the reading mania itself, but after all, it took seven years. If I don't get the mission reward, I will always feel like a huge loss.
“What do you think we should do?” George muttered.
"Toad is simply too idle, so he has time and energy to cause trouble for everyone." Albert looked at Tom who came over and sat down on the book, stretched out his hand to scratch the fat cat's chin, and said to the three of them. , "You can find something for her to do to keep her busy."
The three people who like to make trouble looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
Dumbledore is still in school, and it’s hard to overdo some things.
“By the way, what about the DA’s stronghold over there?”
George thought about the problems he encountered at the party. He felt that the Room of Requirement was a suitable venue for the party, but he needed to discuss it with Albert in advance. It was their shared secret base.
"May I?"
The three of them all had some differences, but I didn’t expect Albert to actually agree.
“We are graduating anyway.” Albert stared at the yawning Tom and said nonchalantly, “I guess there will be no chance to use the Room of Requirement in the future.”
“I thought you would find them another place.” Fred knew that Albert was still using the Room of Requirement.
“I can’t find a more suitable place than the Room of Requirement.”
Albert picked up Tom from the book and put him back in his cat's nest. Then he reached out and grabbed his cheek, sat back on the chair, and continued to read the book.
If the Room of Requirement is not opened to DA members, the three of them really don’t know what to do.
After entering October, the temperature around Hogwarts dropped rapidly, and most wizards were forced to wear thick cloaks.
However, no one knows what is hidden under their cloaks.
Since Fred and George started to cause trouble for Umbridge, the guy's temper has become more violent and his methods have become more vicious. He wants to suppress all the commotion in the school. However, there are more and more pranks against her.
Umbridge's mood was as gloomy as the sky, and the fake smile on her face could no longer be maintained.
There is no other way, because the door of the Defense Against Dark Arts classroom is often tampered with. When things go too far, someone even throws a stink bomb into the classroom, causing the entire classroom to be in a state of panic.
She once angrily declared that she would expel those students who pranked her. However, until now, Umbridge still has not found out who is causing the prank.
Umbridge, who was just about to let the students read aloud from the book, received a new surprise. The blackboard behind her suddenly screamed, shouting over and over again: "Umbridge goes and eats shit."
Such vulgar words made the entire Defense Against Dark Arts classroom full of students laugh.
What angered Umbridge the most was that she couldn't make the voice stop, making the students in the entire classroom think she was a waste.
Today's Defense Against the Dark Arts class has completely become the most hated class among Hogwarts students. Some bad rumors about the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor and the Ministry of Magic were quietly spread among the students.
Now everyone knows that the Ministry of Magic sent toads to do everything possible to prevent everyone from learning defensive spells. It was actually because the Minister of Magic Fudge believed that Dumbledore was using students to organize a secret army to use against the Ministry of Magic.
Is there really such an army in the school?
It’s simply funny!
Of course, some students believe that Umbridge prevents everyone from learning defensive spells because she knows nothing at all. Naturally, she has nothing to teach everyone and can only teach everyone to read books.
They even presented favorable evidence. Many students asked Toad about the knowledge points in "Magical Defense Theory", but it turned out that she really didn't know anything.
As a result, the saying "Umbridge was never a professor, but a loser." spread quickly in the school. Some people even publicly provoked Umbridge by hanging her enchanted photo in the hall and repeating it over and over again. :I, Umbridge, the pink toad, am a loser.
This incident made Umbridge very angry. Not only did she not find the culprit, but no professor was willing to help.
Similar pranks appeared one after another. The wooden doors of the Defense Against the Dark Arts office and the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom were written with paint that was difficult to fade: I, Umbridge, the pink toad, am a waste.
Peeves even made this into a song, and hummed it everywhere in school all day long. The photos of Umbridge that appeared now did not shout, but hummed, so everyone could hum a few words casually. :
…is just a piece of trash.
