Chapter 1029 Jumping
Ever since she was attacked unexpectedly on the Quidditch pitch and knocked unconscious for no apparent reason, Umbridge had been annoyed enough.
Originally, she planned to announce to McGonagall that Potter had been banned for life and admire the other's annoyed, unwilling and angry expression to relieve her irritated mood. However, she did not expect that she was tricked by McGonagall's words that Potter had been banned. got even more annoyed.
From Professor McGonagall's attitude towards this matter, it can be seen that the other party may have guessed that she would punish Potter and deprive him of the right to participate in the Quidditch match. She knew that she could not change the final result, so she did that deliberately. To make yourself sick?
McGonagall is not an idiot. Umbridge is not surprised to think of this.
Just that the other party would really do that?
This is not like her character.
Umbridge thought this was weird, and she even suspected that McGonagall said that out of an impromptu thought to disgust her.
No matter what, nothing can change the outcome that Porter will be permanently banned.
I believe that the expression on Potter's face will be quite wonderful when he learns this "good news".
When Umbridge was about to return to the Defense Against the Dark Arts office, she suddenly smelled a burning smell in the corridor, and the burning smell... seemed to come from her office.
Outside the Defense Against the Dark Arts office, Administrator Filch was holding a bunch of keys, trying to open the door of the office, break into the room and extinguish the flames that had burned, to prevent the fire from causing serious disaster to the school.
Floating behind Filch was Peeves, whose face was full of schadenfreude. It was holding its belly and laughing at Filch for not being able to open a door.
“It’s burning, it’s burning Filch’s ass.”
“Professor, something seems to be on fire in your office.” Filch couldn’t help but breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Umbridge coming back, and quickly stepped forward to remind him of this matter.
“Damn it, what the **** is going on!”
Umbridge looked at the smoking door, the expression on her face completely distorted.
“The office is on fire,” Peeves said in a sinister tone. “If we don’t put out the fire, Filch’s **** will be cooked.”
“Did you do it to Peeves?” Filch glared at Peeves who was gloating about his misfortune.
Umbridge didn't care about the bickering Filch and Peeves, so she took out her wand, used the opening charm on the door handle, and slammed open the office door. She was instantly stunned by the blazing flames in the office. Even the blanket on the ground was caught in the flames.
"Ahem, cough...put out the fire quickly, come over and help put out the fire." Umbridge completely forgot that she was a witch, holding a wand in her hand, and shouted towards Filch.
"There is a toad here, jumping into the fire..." Peeves happily hummed a self-composed tune, floating in the air and looking at the two people who were busy putting out the fire.
Filch glared at Peeves, and at Umbridge's shrill urging, he took a wet mop and slapped the flames on the table hard, trying to extinguish the flames on the table. Unfortunately, this was of no use, and instead made Peeves chuckle.
…Pick up the mop and throw it into the fire…Pick it up harder…Pick up the mop and throw it into the fire…”
Umbridge's screams attracted many students. Everyone stood outside the corridor, curiously looking into the smoking office and pointing at the two people fighting the fire inside, but no one was willing to help put out the fire. No one reminded them that they should use magic spells to extinguish the fire in the room, rather than slapping it with a damp mop.
A few students even sang along to Peeves' song.
Finally, the Slytherin student couldn't bear it anymore and awkwardly pointed out that the fire should be extinguished by using the Spring Water Curse.
An awkward atmosphere spread in the corridor outside the office as the thick smoke rose. Students left one after another and took what happened here to various colleges.
Umbridge's worrying way of putting out fires really makes people wonder if she is an idiot. She even needs to be reminded of this simplest method?
Of course, some people say that there is something wrong with Umbridge’s mind, and the messy Defense Against the Dark Arts class is the best proof.
Many people doubt whether the news that Umbridge graduated from Hogwarts with honors is true, and the Ravenclaw students even expelled her from their own college.
Fortunately, there were no Gryffindor students among the crowd who came to watch the excitement, otherwise they would definitely sing along with Peeves' stupid-sounding song, and the situation would definitely be more difficult to deal with.
At this moment, Gryffindor students were holding a Quidditch celebration banquet in the common room. When the news that Umbridge's office was burned reached the common room, everyone was excitedly talking about who did it. , Harry had an even bigger appetite when he heard the good news, and even ate an extra piece of pie for this reason.
Umbridge initially suspected that a student was up to something, but it wasn't until Filch found a nest of ash snake eggs in the fireplace that they finally found the real "culprit."
Umbridge suspected that the fire-ash snake eggs were the work of Professor Wilmina Grupplan of Care of Magical Creatures. After all, anything related to magical creatures was related to Professor Care of Magical Creatures, but Umbridge quickly I received news that Professor Wilmina Grapeland had ended her temporary job and left Hogwarts yesterday.
Hagrid will return to school on Monday to take over the Care of Magical Creatures class again, and Umbridge suspected that Hagrid was behind this matter, but the cruel fact told her that Hagrid was not at Hogwarts at all, and in the end she They also suspected the Gryffindor students, thinking that this was revenge of the Gryffindor students. However, what was even more cruel was that it was said that the Gryffindor students used the galleons they won from the Slytherin students in the common room. Hold a celebration party.
For some reason, Umbridge always felt that everyone was a suspect, but she ignored one person, no, it should be said that it was not a human being.
This thing was done by Peeves. This naughty guy put a fire-ash snake egg under Umbridge's desk, and then it turned into what it looked like inside. The most embarrassing thing is that it really didn't exist. People suspected that Peeves was causing mischief.
Umbridge was so angry that she could not find the culprit. The next day, she called Harry, Fred and George to her office, which she almost burned down.
Lifetime ban?
Confiscated the broomstick?
Facing the heavy iron fist that Umbridge threw at him, Harry not only did not feel angry because of the injustice of the other party, but actually wanted to laugh.
In order not to laugh out loud, the three of them tried their best to hold back their laughter, and then faced Umbridge expressionlessly.
"They don't know where I put the firebolts."
Yes, Umbridge did suspect that the daring Gryffindor was responsible, but there was no evidence.
Harry, Fred and George finally handed the broomstick to Umbridge in person under the watchful eyes of most of the Gryffindor students. As for Draco Malfoy and his group who were gloating and watching the fun, they were simply ignored.
Harry never worried about his Firebolt.
In the words of Fred and George: "If the broom is broken, just ask the Ministry of Magic to replace it with a new broom."
Fudge will step down sooner or later, and Umbridge will get out sooner or later. The new Minister of Magic will inevitably need to win over Harry Potter, the savior.
Do you really think that the new Minister will just pat his **** and forget about the mess that the previous Minister of Magic left behind?
There is no such good thing in this world. Even if the "Daily Prophet" dares not report it, Sirius's "Defense Guide" newspaper will publish the relevant news.
As for the bad things that Umbridge is doing now, everyone sees it. It’s hard to say how much deterrence it can bring to everyone.
At least Fred and George didn't care. Harry was a little annoyed at first, but after taking a tranquilizer, his head became calm.
At this moment, everyone only sees Umbridge targeting Gryffindor and shielding Slytherin. The Slytherin student who started the trouble was not punished, but the victim was actually suspended?
Even though the Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff students could hold back their anger, it would be a good thing for a few of them to completely anger the Gryffindor students.
Now Harry also hopes to see the scene described by Fred and George. All the students in Hogwarts are rebelling against Umbridge. Maybe this prospect is difficult to see, but at least let Gryffindor rebel against Umbridge first. Mrich, this is certainly interesting.
After Umbridge left with the broomsticks of the three Harrys as a victor, Gryffindor House completely exploded.
“It’s really unfair, we have to go find Professor McGonagall.” Some students who couldn’t stand Umbridge suggested loudly.
“Don’t be stupid, do you really think Professor McGonagall doesn’t know anything?” Lee Jordan felt that people who still said such things at this time were stupid.
"How dare she do that? The whole thing was clearly instigated by the Slytherin students. How dare she protect the Slytherin students... We have to go to Principal Dumbledore and we can't let the toad continue to mess around." Hermione was about to be stunned. She was so angry that she almost burst out of her eyes with anger, especially when she saw Harry handing over his beloved Firebolt.
"It's useless. Do you really think Dumbledore doesn't know anything? Toad has an education order from the Ministry of Magic. Just watch, there is probably a new education order coming out." Lee Jordan was very calm. He was one of the few here. A person who remains calm.
As for Harry, Fred and George, they were hiding somewhere and laughing, probably secretly discussing how to deal with Umbridge and the Slytherin students.
“Is this the case?”
The angry shouts of Gryffindor students came from the common room.
“Otherwise, what do you want?”
“Go to Mr. Anderson. He is the president of the student union. He must have a solution.” A sixth-grade boy suggested.
"Are you a fool? Professor McGonagall can't do anything, so what can Albert do?" Lee Jordan doubted their IQ and couldn't help but want to laugh: "Do you want him to take you to drive away Umu?" Richie? Even if he dares, do you have the courage? Do you really have the courage to wave your wands at those nasty people like Umbridge and Slytherin?"
“Don’t always treat others as fools.” Lee Jordan shook his head and sarcastically said, “You are nothing.”
"We are nothing, so what are you?" Several boys were angered by Lee Jordan's words and asked sharply.
"The Galleons you enjoyed at the last celebration banquet were won by the four of us from Slytherin. Do you understand now?" Lee Jordan took out a piece of parchment and slapped it on the table: "Twenty-seven people. The money paid is less than two galleons, do you understand what I mean?”
He didn't care about the angry looks of others, and pushed aside the crowd to leave the common room.
Now someone needs to come forward to give them some stimulation.
Otherwise, Gryffindor students are still too timid.
Zannah picked up the parchment, glanced at the contents, and fell into a brief silence. The largest payment was two silver Sickles from Ginny, and the rest were one Sickle or several Knuts. Gallon was not at all You can't see that, despite the large number of people who paid for it in the first place, the total amount is only one galleons, three kilos and five kats.
Everyone was silent. Maybe some people wanted to argue, but this was the cruel fact. No wonder Lee Jordan despised them.
"It's over. There are no seekers and batters. This is no different from banning us from continuing the game. It's just to see us lose and make us look bad." Angelina held her head with both hands, her voice hollow. As for Tired, she didn't expect things to turn out like this.
“Don’t forget, Professor Trelawney had already predicted that Harry would be banned.” Zannah posted the parchment on the bulletin board and came to Angelina to remind her. "Albert also reminded you a long time ago to stop the Quidditch match this year. I dare say he had expected it to be like this."
The piece of parchment on the bulletin board was eventually torn into pieces and thrown away. However, it appeared on the bulletin board again the next day. It was a naked mockery.
This incident spread throughout Hogwarts that day. It seemed that in order to calm everyone's anger, Umbridge finally punished several Malfoys.
Write an education order as a penalty.
It was like a slap in the face to Gryffindor, now the whole school knew that Umbridge was targeting Gryffindor students.
Gryffindor's revenge came the next day. The members of the Slytherin team suffered first. Malfoy and two of his followers were found on the toilet in the boys' bathroom, and Umbridge was hung on the toilet. The wall is covered with notices on education orders.
Everyone knew that it was the Gryffindor students who did the good deeds. They even suspected that it was the banned Harry, Fred and George, but all indications showed that they could not have done that because they had alibi.
Umbridge was going crazy, and she even planned to interrogate all the Gryffindor students one by one. If Dumbledore was not the headmaster, maybe Umbridge would consider asking Snape to provide Veritaserum.
As for Professor McGonagall, who received a bunch of letters of protest, he reluctantly said that he was helpless and suggested that they send a letter to the Ministry of Magic. The headmaster of Gryffindor completely ignored it.
This is interesting, after the head of Gryffindor started messing up, God knows what will happen next.
