Chapter 1103 Revenge
At this moment, Umbridge was in a very bad mood. Just now, she learned the bombshell news that Voldemort had been resurrected from the front page of the Daily Prophet.
As a senior official and an excellent politician in the Ministry of Magic, Umbridge knew exactly what this meant. All her previous efforts had turned into a joke. What was even worse was that the prophecy actually came true. Her boss Kang Nellie Fudge is facing the risk of being ousted by the masses, and may not be far away from being kicked out.
If Fudge is indeed ousted by the masses in the summer, what about her prediction?
Umbridge doesn’t believe Trelawney’s prophecy on the surface, but she already believes it in her heart.
So, she never ventured into the Forbidden Forest for fear of encountering something unexpected.
As long as you don’t enter the Forbidden Forest, the prophecies related to the Forbidden Forest will not come true, but will you really be imprisoned in Azkaban Prison?
The probability of this happening shouldn't be high, but... Umbridge is really scared.
Even though the Dementors rebelled and left Azkaban, absolutely no one wanted to spend the rest of their lives in that **** wizard prison.
The more you worry about something and the less you want it to happen, the easier it is for it to happen.
At noon on the day she learned about Voldemort's resurrection from the newspaper, Umbridge received an owl letter from the Ministry of Magic. She was suspended for investigation, and the Ministry of Magic asked her to leave Hogwarts as soon as possible.
What a nightmare!
Umbridge couldn't help but shudder when she thought of the looks the students at Hogwarts were looking at her.
How many things did she do that made the students hate her during her tenure at Hogwarts?
Umbridge can’t remember clearly, but she knows very well that except for a small number of Slytherin students in Hogwarts school, the rest of the students hate her very much.
If Umbridge was still the principal or senior investigator, the students would naturally not dare to do anything to her, but she is no longer the case. Once they know that she has been suspended for investigation, Umbridge simply cannot imagine what will happen then. .
no!
After figuring out her situation, Umbridge realized that she must not leave Hogwarts under the eyes of the students, otherwise she really didn't know what terrible things would happen.
Umbridge simply packed her luggage and tried to go directly to the office at the Ministry of Magic through the Floo network. However, she soon discovered that the floo powder she had stored in the clay pot was gone.
Someone tried to stop her from leaving via Floo?
No, this is impossible!
Umbridge originally wanted to find other professors, no, I should say Filch, to get some floo powder, but the administrator seemed not to be in the habit of using floo powder.
As for finding other professors?
Umbridge has offended all the professors in the school during her tenure, especially after Professor McGonagall was sent to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries by an Auror because of her relationship last time. She did not think that other professors would Be willing to facilitate.
Umbridge had to accept the cruel fact that she had to leave the gate of Hogwarts.
Must leave quietly!
Must not be noticed by the students at Hogwarts.
For this reason, Umbridge thought twice and decided to leave in the evening, waiting for everyone to have dinner in the auditorium before leaving quietly.
Unknown to Umbridge, Lee Jordan was currently spreading the news that she had been suspended for investigation.
The fact that she would leave school during dinner had long been known to the students.
During the evening meal, Umbridge, with the help of Filch, dragged her luggage to the corridor on the first floor of the castle. The journey went smoothly and she did not encounter other students.
Just when Umbridge breathed a sigh of relief, she saw that Sybill Trelawney, the divination professor she had previously expelled, had returned to Hogwarts.
For some reason, Umbridge had a bad premonition in her heart, and this premonition soon came true.
"I originally wanted to visit you in the school hospital, but Madam Pomfrey said that you have been discharged." Trelawney looked at Umbridge as if she didn't wait for me in the school hospital.
Umbridge looked at Trelawney who was blocking the way, her face was terrifyingly gloomy. She knew very well that the other person was definitely here to mock her on purpose. She wanted to pull out her wand and give the guy in front of her a Cruciatus Curse.
"You look very ugly." Trelawney squinted her eyes, looked up and down Umbridge's darkened cheeks, and suddenly said, "You have been in big trouble recently."
Umbridge said nothing and walked away from Trelawney with an expressionless face, pretending not to see her.
Trelawney was neither angry nor obstructive. She just followed Umbridge and continued: "At the beginning, you should have believed my prediction. Being a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts is really not a good profession. You're lucky that you didn't lose your life because of this. By the way, don't go into the forest, otherwise your life will be in danger."
Umbridge continued to pretend not to see or hear, and couldn't help but speed up and walk towards the foyer, but she didn't expect that the foyer was even more lively. Most of the teachers and students of Hogwarts were gathered here. They all wore toad badges on their chests, toad hats on their heads, and held toad firecrackers in their hands to celebrate.
“Professor Toad! Professor Toad…”
When Umbridge appeared in the corridor, everyone spontaneously applauded and cheered even more.
Umbridge looked at the "enthusiastic" students and wanted to turn around and leave.
"Where are you going?" Trelawney blocked Umbridge's retreat with a smile and reminded her kindly: "Everyone has specially prepared a farewell ceremony for you."
Umbridge glared at Trelawney fiercely and dragged her luggage through the enthusiastic students.
The next moment, the students on both sides fired the toad firecrackers in Umbridge's direction. With a blast like a cannon bomb, a stream of dark green smoke and toad-shaped confetti flew out of the toad firecrackers. came out and completely enveloped Umbridge.
The explosion swallowed up Umbridge's scream, and the applause in the corridor continued. Even the professors stood in the crowd and applauded with everyone to bid Umbridge farewell.
After the sound of the toad firecrackers disappeared, a large number of small firework sticks began to fly randomly in the corridor, and words of farewell to Umbridge were automatically written in the air.
Those words were indeed quite appropriate to say goodbye to Umbridge, at least everyone thought so. Even the professors didn't think there was anything wrong. Professor McGonagall even personally lit a firework stick handed over by Lee Jordan. Express your mood at the moment.
After the dark green smoke gradually dissipated, Umbridge also disappeared, replaced by a dark green toad.
No one knows exactly what happened, but Umbridge was indeed dyed a dark green color and looked like a humanoid toad. What surprised everyone the most was that Umbridge no longer walked normally, but squatted down like a toad and began to jump out.
“Professor Toad! Professor Toad! Professor Toad!”
Lee Jordan even excitedly raised his camera and looked around for shooting angles.
Peeves appeared above Umbridge's head at some point, holding a big bag in his hand, and kept sprinkling toad-shaped paper shreds and chalk dust on Umbridge's head.
"Oh my god!"
Hagrid and Albert stood in the foyer, staring dumbfoundedly at Umbridge who jumped out amidst the applause of everyone.
The old witch who once made countless students fearful has now completely become the laughing stock of Hogwarts students after dinner, and will be passed down in Hogwarts together with the toad statue, becoming a wonderful legend.
“Someone used the Imperius Curse on Umbridge?” Hermione asked with a frown.
"It's a confusion spell." Albert explained, "A high-level... I mean a particularly powerful confusion spell that can temporarily confuse other people's minds and make Umbridge think she is a toad?"
"You did it?"
Hermione turned to look at Albert. Apart from Albert, she really couldn't think of anyone who could do this quietly.
"That's great, this is definitely the most interesting farewell ceremony." Harry glanced at the toad statue in the foyer, then looked at Umbridge who jumped away, and said with a smile: "Our Professor Toad is destined It will become a legend at Hogwarts."
“More than a legend, Umbridge will forever become a piece of Hogwarts history,” Lee Jordan said confidently. “The representative of the worst professor in history will be nailed to the pillar of shame forever.”
“There are bigger surprises outside.” Albert suddenly said.
“What surprise?” Ron asked curiously.
"Fred and George have prepared a surprise for Umbridge." Albert didn't plan to reveal it yet, nor did he plan to let Umbridge go.
Since he has done it, he will not give Umbridge any chance, and he will arrange the rest.
Prepare to send Umbridge away.
When Umbridge jumped out of the castle, everyone rushed out of the castle. Only Filch was left stupidly shouting to Umbridge: "Professor, your luggage."
“Hagrid, take your luggage and follow.” Albert reminded Hagrid, who was still in a daze, with his elbow.
"Oh, it's so interesting, but will this bring trouble to Professor Dumbledore?" Hagrid walked towards Filch, picked up his luggage and followed Umbridge, while Peeves was still throwing thing, and kept humming the song of the toad in his mouth.
The students of the Anti-Toad Alliance also happily sang this happy song and followed Umbridge, who was jumping up and down, towards the school gate. They planned to send Umbridge off to Hogwarts. Even the professors from Hogwarts came out.
In fact, Dumbledore was the only one in the whole school who was not here, and everyone else came to see Umbridge off, because everyone heard that after Umbridge left this time, she was likely to enter Azkaban. No chance.
As for Principal Dumbledore, he was actually not suitable to appear or participate, so he could only stand on the castle and watch Umbridge leave.
Outside the iron gate of Hogwarts, the reporters who had received the news in advance and came to interview Harry Potter were also stunned as they stared at Umbridge jumping up and down, and the sound of taking photos one after another soon became one.
Immediately afterwards, they saw Peeves lighting the specially prepared fireworks when Umbridge jumped to the school gate.
With a deafening roar, a toad's mark appeared over the Hogwarts castle.
All the Hogwarts students ran to Umbridge and lined up on both sides of the Hogwarts gate. Accompanied by Peeves waving his cane, they all sang the extremely cheerful Toad Song. , even the professors at the school were humming songs and bidding farewell to Umbridge in unison.
After the song officially ended, Hagrid opened the school door. After Umbridge jumped out, he placed his luggage outside the school gate. The school door closed again amidst the voices of the students saying "Goodbye, Professor Toad."
After leaving the school, Umbridge finally returned to normal and collapsed on the ground. Just as he was about to turn his head and glare at the students waving at them, he suddenly felt that the surroundings dimmed, and countless white lights and lights suddenly lit up around him. White smoke.
Umbridge suddenly raised her head and saw a large group of reporters surrounding her, snapping pictures.
It’s over!
She felt like she couldn't take a breath from her chest, and passed out directly in front of all the reporters, leaving behind the reporters looking at each other and the Hogwarts students who were laughing inside the iron gate of the castle.
The reporters looked at Umbridge who passed out immediately, and then looked at the large group of Hogwarts teachers and students outside the iron gate, and whispered: "What on earth did this woman do at Hogwarts to recruit people like this?" hatred!"
The question finally fell to Harry. The savior who took a tranquilizer said slowly, "Except Mr. Principal, all the teachers and students in the school are here. What do you think?"
“So, those rumors are true?”
"Rumors, no, that's not a rumor. Umbridge's students at Hogwarts prepared 123 educational orders, so she was severely whipped 123 times by Anderson." Harry raised his palm and put the back of his hand on the reporter In front of them, "She is a pervert and likes to use the punishment quill to punish students. The marks on the back of my hand are proof. Most of the students in Hogwarts have been punished."
"Mr. Porter, do the badges on your chest and the hat on your head mean anything?" a reporter asked.
"This is the symbol of the Anti-Toad Alliance, so..." Harry made a gesture of asking, "You know, almost most students are members of this alliance. This is actually a last resort. Fudge wanted to hide Voldemort's Regarding the resurrection, Umbridge used Umbridge to brutally suppress the entire Hogwarts students. He even allowed the use of chains to hang people, put people in dungeons, or use whips to punish students. She even recruited He killed some Slytherin students, gave them privileges, and suppressed other Hogwarts students. Well, several descendants of Death Eaters were among them. By the way, Umbridge also liked to use Veritaserum and the Cruciatus Curse to interrogate students. .”
“He really did that.”
"Yes, students on at least two floors of the entire school drank drinks spiked with Veritaserum. She even used the Cruciatus Curse on Harry to try to find the whereabouts of Dumbledore." Ron waved his fist angrily.
"That's a horrible old witch," Hermione agreed. "It's every student's nightmare."
“She doesn’t even know Defense Against the Dark Arts, she doesn’t know anything. She just takes the book and reads there every time she comes to class. We didn’t learn anything in class.”
“There is nothing we can do because she represents the Ministry of Magic, and we are just students and cannot resist the Ministry of Magic.”
…
“That’s why today’s scene happened.”
"She really used the Cruciatus Curse?" The reporters were all stunned, and suddenly they understood why Umbridge was in such misery.
“Yes, many people have seen it.”
"She also had Dementors attack me, intending for Fudge to fire me, which she admitted herself." Harry continued, "In fact, he almost succeeded."
“What do you think of Fudge?” Rita Skeeter asked with a smile.
"He is good friends with many Death Eaters, Malfoy, Goyle, Crabbe..." Harry named a bunch of Death Eaters, "In fact, when Fudge attacked Dumbledore, Voldemort had already taken the opportunity to win over him. He defeated the giants and werewolves, and rescued the minions of Azkaban. Many dark wizards and even dementors moved closer to him, but he was not helpful and caused everyone to miss the best opportunity."
"Sometimes, judging from Fudge's behavior, I wonder if he is afraid of death and is worried about Voldemort's revenge, which is why Dumbledore is holding back, or if he is actually controlled by the Imperius Curse, or is Voldemort's minion. "
"It's not that I want to question the Minister of Magic, but earlier, when Albert captured Barty Crouch Jr., Fudge silenced the dementors immediately to prevent the news of Voldemort's resurrection from leaking. "
