Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 1039: Strong crowd

"Ah ah ah ah ah..."

In the early morning hours of Hogwarts Castle, a shrill scream suddenly came out, which woke the students who had just fallen asleep.

"It's on, it's on!"

Albert listened to the movement in the room and rolled over lazily as Lee Jordan's voice came from across the room. He fumbled to pull back the curtain around the bed, looked at the Weasley Brothers and Lee Jordan who were going to watch the fun, stretched out his hand to cover his yawn, and muttered: "Then, that guy should be quiet for a long time. "

"Get up!"

Lee Jordan grinned and poured Albert a cup of strong tea.

Albert looked at the cup of strong tea with disgust, and how would he sleep after drinking it.

He covered his yawn again, got up from the bed, picked up the cloak hanging beside him, draped it over himself, and followed the other curious students to the common room.

A large group of good-hearted students in their pajamas and capes have just gotten out of bed, and they are gathered in twos and threes, whispering about the screams just now.

"Quiet, who knows what's going on." Albert asked, looking around, "I heard screaming just now,"

"Something seems to have happened in the castle." A boy raised his hand first.

"Sounds like a banshee scream."

"I feel more like someone is being severely tortured."

"I suspect it was a toad's scream?"

Everyone, you said every word, and finally the scream of the toad was widely recognized, because it was not the first time that the toad made such a sound at night, but this time it was especially shrill.

"Prefect, is there a prefect here?" Albert raised his hand to signal everyone to keep quiet. The three prefects in capes squeezed through the crowd and came to Albert.

"Which of you want to go out with me to see what's going on outside without too many people."

As soon as Albert finished speaking, several people raised their hands.

"Very well, the three of you, and the four of you, grab your wands and go outside with me to see what's going on?" Albert drew his wand from his cloak pocket and said, "The rest of the prefects Stay and maintain order, don't let them run around and wait for news."

Although many students expressed dissatisfaction with this, all dissatisfaction can only be swallowed in the stomach. As the president of the student council, Albert has a strong authority in Gryffindor.

"And you guys, go back and put on your cloak, don't cause trouble to Madam Pomfrey with a cold." Albert said to several students who hurried over in only pajamas.

"Okay, the people who are called come with me, and those who don't want to go can stay!"

No one wants to stay, let alone the student council president taking the lead this time.

"Is it really the scream of a toad?" Fred said with great acting skills: "Although that guy screamed all night before."

"But it's the first time it's screamed so badly." George echoed.

Ron and Hermione looked at each other and nodded in agreement with the twin brothers. They naturally knew what happened to the screams just now, but they didn't expect that Albert would personally lead the team to watch the toad's tragic state, which really made them very sad. Surprised, the only regret is that Harry didn't come with him.

"Is this really okay? I mean professors should..." Shanna reminded in a low voice.

"No professor got up to check." George said, staring at the Marauder's map in his hand.

"Professors are probably too lazy to care, everyone can't stand it again and again."

Although the seven people Albert took out this time were all his own, they didn't dare to act too recklessly, lest they be seen to have any flaws.

Everyone is now a brave Gryffindor student who heard the shrill screams and came out to check the situation.

"I just got in touch with Cedric, and he also brought people out to surround... Cough, check the situation." Fred quickly changed his rhetoric and asked in a low voice, "Do you think Ravenclaw will be there? I will also wait for someone to come and check the situation, it may be very interesting then.”

"80% of the time, curiosity is human nature."

Albert tightened his cloak and sped up to the outside of the Defence Against the Dark Arts office. While going to the secret passage on the fifth floor, I also met Nick who was almost headless.

"You guys are..." Nick looked at Albert, who led the team, frowned slightly and said, "Why did you guys come out at this time?"

"They said it might be someone who was being severely tortured, so I brought someone over to see what was going on." Albert said calmly, "Nick, do you know what's going on?"

"I don't know." Nick shook his head.

"Then come with us too, and help us to find the way ahead. If you find something wrong, send us an alarm." Albert said to the ghost of Gryffindor.

"You really can summon ghosts," Nick muttered, but he didn't say no. Nick actually heard the scream just now. It was too shrill. It was no wonder that Albert would be vigilant, worried that some dangerous elements would break into Hogwarts.

A group of people passed the secret passage and quickly came to the third floor. As they approached the corridor of the Defense Against the Dark Arts office, they heard some noises.

"Who is it?"

Albert gestured for everyone to stop and let Nick help them see what was going on on the other side of the corner.

"It's Filch and a bunch of Hufflepuffs," Nick said to several.

Albert turned people down the corridor only after he got the news from Nick.

At this moment, Filch was staring angrily at the group of Hufflepuff students in their pajamas and capes, but strangely no professor was present.

Seeing another group of students coming, Filch looked even more annoyed, mumbling constantly about staying up in the middle of the night...clearing the lockdown and stuff like that.

"What's the matter?"

Albert directly ignored Filch's broken thoughts and cast an inquiring look at Cedric.

"We heard very shrill screams, and when we came to check, we saw that Umbridge had turned into a toad." Cedric sternly, as if forcing himself not to laugh.

"Umbridge turned into a toad?"

Several Gryffindor students gathered around, wanting to get a glimpse of Umbridge's ugliness.

"It really fits her image," someone muttered softly.

Umbridge's skin was rough and looked a lot like that of a toad, and what surprised them most was that Umbridge's face looked like a living toad.

Everyone started whispering about what happened to Umbridge and how it got to be this toad, completely forgetting that people should be taken to the school hospital.

Actually, Filch wanted to do it, but Cedric stopped him, saying that Umbridge might have a contagious skin disease.

Not long after, a group of Ravenclaw students, led by Katrina, appeared in the corridor outside the Defense Against the Dark Arts office, and the originally spacious corridor suddenly became crowded.

Everyone is talking to each other about what's going on here, and murmurs fill the hallway.

"It's disgusting, the toad really turned into a toad."

"Did she have some kind of skin disease and could it be passed on from person to person?"

"I think it's the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor's curse."

"Quiet."

Albert motioned for everyone to keep quiet, and then asked them to leave enough space for the time being, so that they didn't crowd around here before pulling out his wand and using the Resuscitation Charm on the unconscious Umbridge.

The fainted Umbridge quickly regained consciousness.

"Professor, who attacked you, and what happened here?" Albert took a step back, and a ball of light flew out from the tip of his wand and hovered above Umbridge's head, allowing everyone to See what the toad looks like.

"Ouch...the more I look at it, the more disgusting I get."

"She really turned into a toad."

"Did she make herself ugly?"

"We'd better stay away from her, maybe some kind of skin infection."

"Probably a curse, and it's not the first time that a Defence Against the Dark Arts professor has been cursed."

"Look, she's awake."

Amid the murmurs of the students, Umbridge opened his eyes and at first seemed confused, slumped on the cold marble floor.

"Professor, what happened, how did you become like this, and who attacked you." Albert asked again.

This time, Albert stepped back further.

The newly awakened Umbridge looked around in confusion, and found that the students around were staring at her with a very strange look, and the whispers of the students could be heard in his ears.

"Professor, do you really not know what's going on?"

When Umbridge raised her hand to look at her palm, a mirror fell on her palm accompanied by Albert's gentle voice.

Looking at the figure in the mirror, Umbridge was stunned for a moment, then seemed to remember something, flung the mirror in his hand, scratched his cheek, raised his head and let out a shrill scream.

And then, she passed out just like that.

Yes, Umbridge knocked himself out.

Everyone looked at Albert, it was definitely intentional just now!

Absolutely!

"Very interesting, isn't it."

Peeves came out of nowhere, and giggled as he looked at the passed out toad, clutching his stomach.

The others couldn't help but laugh.

Albert quietly cast a spell on Toad, putting her in a semi-conscious state.

"Peeves, it's you!"

Felch immediately turned his attention to Peeves.

"There is no evidence, be careful to sue you for defamation." Peeves grimaced at Filch and circled the void happily like a swimming fish.

"What's the matter with Peeves!" Albert asked.

"Isn't this a kid?" Peeves flipped somersaults in the air, grinning at the crowd from between his own legs: "As soon as I heard the screams coming, I saw her suddenly Ran out of the office screaming and... fell here."

"I've never met someone as interesting as her," said Peeves, grinning. "She looks like a... a toad now."

"Cough cough, we should take her to the school hospital, Madam Pomfrey must have a way to cure her." Albert waved his wand and conjured up a stretcher, then moved Umbridge onto the stretcher, a group of People sent Umbridge to the school hospital in a mighty way.

In the meantime, everyone is whispering about what happened to Toad.

As for Filch, he was left alone and ignored.

Albert asked Cedric to explain the situation to her after they woke Madam Pomfrey and put the person on the bed with a twitching face.

"Mr. Administrator, please notify Dumbledore, and if the Headmaster is away, notify Professor McGonagall, or other professors, to let them know what's going on here."

After the instructions, Albert turned his head to the students standing outside the school hospital and said, "Go back and rest, don't wander around outside in the middle of the night."

"I can't rest for a moment." Albert reached out to cover his yawn, and beckoned the other Gryffindor students to go back to sleep.

……

In less than half an hour, the news that Umbridge had turned into a toad spread across Hogwarts at an astonishing speed as if he was on a Firebolt, and even Headmaster Dumbledore was caught Alarmed, he came to visit the doctor in the middle of the night, and several deans also appeared in the school hospital.

As for whether this group of people came to visit the doctor, it is really hard to say.

Anyway, Professor McGonagall kept his face straight, Professor Flitwick and Professor Sprout were talking in low voices, Snape looked at Umbridge on the hospital bed with a very strange expression, and Madam Pomfrey He was talking to Dumbledore about Umbridge's illness.

"...she may have some kind of skin disease. To be honest, I initially suspected a spell and gave her a small amount of a potent restorative, but it didn't work." Madam Pomfrey read Umbridge, who was on the eye bed, suggested: "I suggest transferring her to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries for more formal treatment?"

"Can it be cured?"

Dumbledore looked up and down Umbridge's toad-like skin, and poked with his long, thin fingers.

"It will take time, I think it should be fine to cure her." Madam Pomfrey looked disgusted, but did not refuse.

"I'll trouble you then." After a few chats with Madam Pomfrey, Dumbledore ~IndoMTL.com~ walked outside, and Snape followed.

"What did you find?"

Dumbledore deliberately waited for Snape to slow down.

"Her appearance is very strange, very likely caused by incomplete deformation."

"Minerva said something similar. Even Madam Pomfrey used a powerful restorative agent on Professor Umbridge, but the effect was not very obvious." Dumbledore was actually a little puzzled, but he Instinctively, what Snape said should be true.

Umbridge's appearance is indeed very similar to the symptoms caused by deformation.

Of course, Dumbledore also suspects that Umbridge's appearance may be caused by some students. Umbridge has had a lot of bad luck lately, and even Peeves is behind her back.

"No, I mean possibly some potion, such as a concoction," Snape reminded.

"Could the compound potion cause such symptoms?" Dumbledore asked in surprise.

"I don't know, but I don't think the compound potion can transform into an animal," Snape speculated. "And, what are you going to do with the Ministry of Magic? I think Mr. Minister..."

"The Curse of the Defence Against the Dark Arts Professor." Dumbledore said without hesitation, "Until we find the cause, Professor Umbridge's illness will most likely be blamed on the curse."

"As you should have guessed, this is probably..."

"We have no evidence of Severus," Dumbledore interrupted.

"Evidence?"

Snape repeated in a low voice, watching Dumbledore's retreating back.

He suspects that a student has filled Umbridge with a toad-laced concoction. Although Snape didn't know what it would look like to use the compound potion to become an animal, Umbridge's appearance undoubtedly matched his guess.
