Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 1008: The Curse of Greed

Although everyone was surprised that this year's Wizarding Card Competition was earlier, the number of students who came to watch the Wizarding Card Competition did not decrease.

Because the Alliance Against Toads is claiming that there will be a large gathering for Umbridge here.

This matter naturally also spread to Umbridge. After figuring out what was going on in the wizarding card game from the mouths of Slytherin students, Umbridge decided to send a few Slytherins after much consideration. of students used to inquire to avoid unnecessary conflict with Anderson.

However, this is just an ordinary wizarding card game.

The only surprise is that Albert chose Luna Lovegood as the designated heir to the Wizarding Card Club.

The sudden realization that Albert is about to graduate is a sad event for the vast majority of Hogwarts students.

"I know, you must be wondering why the club held a wizarding card game earlier?"

Albert looked around at the students below and said calmly, "This year is a special year, and I have a hunch that the Wizards Card Club may need to be suspended for a while."

This is definitely bad news, and people start whispering.

"Why?" Someone even asked Albert the reason aloud.

"I don't think it's hard for everyone to guess the reason. After all, with so many of us together, someone will definitely be unhappy." Albert raised his hand and pressed it, motioning everyone to be quiet, "Don't worry, Wizard Card The club will not be disbanded and will continue next year.”

"Let the toad eat shit."

I don't know who shouted, and it resonated with everyone. Why should they be interfered by Umbridge when they join a club.

"I know what you mean, but don't complain, she's not easy, she brought us so much joy this month."

There was a burst of laughter in the activity room.

Albert was right, Umbridge did bring a lot of joy to everyone.

"In addition to the previous ten Galleons, the champion of this year's wizard card competition, I also prepared some special gifts for her, everyone can look forward to it." Albert pretended to be mysterious.

"What gift?" someone asked.

"There is no sense of expectation when I say it. Well, today's game officially begins." Albert motioned for Luna to follow Lee Jordan to familiarize himself with the process. The Ravenclaw girl obviously likes this kind of activity very much, and has been studying very seriously.

Unlike the wizard cards of previous editions, today's wizard cards have been repeatedly improved and look quite beautiful.

The atmosphere was quickly ignited after fireworks exploded over the heads of the Griffin, the symbol of Hogwarts.

Lee Jordan picked up the microphone and led Luna to the next Wizarding Card game.

"What is Malfoy doing here?"

Harry was about to go to cheer on Ron, who was in the game, when he saw a guy in the crowd that he hated.

"Maybe, he's here to help Umbridge find out."

Hermione frowned and speculated after seeing Malfoy's group whispering in the crowd, "It doesn't always feel like a good thing, I have to talk to George about it."

That night, Umbridge was so excited that he almost fell asleep. She suspected that the so-called activity room was created by the Mudblood's abuse of the Traceless Stretching Charm. This was undoubtedly a good crime, and she could take this opportunity to dissolve the **** wizard card club.

A club that has more than half of the students in the entire school is definitely not what Umbridge wants to see, especially this club was founded by Albert Anderson. God knows when the other party has a brain and calls Hogwarts. student looking for her trouble.

Let's just say, Albert Anderson had no reverence for the Ministry of Magic from the start.

The next morning, Umbridge and a few Slytherin students hurried to the wizarding card club's activity room.

As an uninvited villain, when Umbridge appeared in the event room, the atmosphere at the scene couldn't help but stagnate. Everyone looked at Umbridge and began to whisper.

"How come toad is here."

"Albert is right."

"This guy is disgusting."

Many people had a strong look of disgust on their faces, and some even pulled out their wands, preparing to give Umbridge a sneak peek later.

"Mr. Anderson."

Umbridge looked around, still with a fake smirk on his face.

No one answered, and the scene was dead silent.

Hermione's mood sank to the bottom, her eyes fixed on Umbridge, what she was worried about still happened, the first party was messed up, even the wizard card club may be affected, God knows What would Umbridge do. "

"He's not here." Luna pushed aside the crowd and stepped in front of Umbridge. "If you have business with Albert, you may have to wait until the afternoon to award the champion."

"Then tell him that this activity room clearly violates the Ministry of Magic's prohibition on the abuse of the Traceless Stretch Charm, and I will take the illegal items on behalf of the Ministry of Magic and let him wait for the notice of punishment from the Ministry of Magic." Umbridge's face With a triumphant smirk, overpowering people is what she does best.

Several Slytherin students, led by Malfoy, had schadenfreude grins on their faces, eager to see Albert be unlucky.

As soon as she said her words, the scene exploded.

People have heard that Umbridge is planning to seize their event room and that he is planning to punish Albert.

Is this guy crazy?

"Why!"

"Are you crazy?"

There were angry voices from the crowd, all glaring at Umbridge, trying to pull out their wand and curse her.

"Who was talking just now." Umbridge looked around, satisfied when she saw everyone was quiet, she cleared her throat, "Okay, now everyone get out of here."

"Professor..."

"Is there anything else, Miss Lovegood?" Umbridge stared at Luna with undisguised malice in her eyes.

Not afraid of Umbridge's gaze, Luna reminded calmly, "I advise you not to do this."

"What?" The smile on Umbridge's face widened.

"Because once the non-owner tries to take possession of the Book of Origins, the Book of Origins is cursed. It is said to prevent others from taking it illegally." Luna recounts quietly, having been told long ago past things.

"What are you talking about..."

"Okay, let's leave in an orderly manner!" George interrupted suddenly, taking the lead and walking towards the activity room.

"Did she just take our event room away like that," someone said indignantly.

"Don't worry, this is Albert's stuff. If you want to take the Book of Origins, you will be punished." Fred gave Umbridge a meaningful look and whispered, " Non-owners who want to illegally occupy it will be cursed by this book. To be honest, I haven't seen anyone cursed yet, so this is a rare opportunity."

It took a lot of time for everyone to leave the activity room, but they didn't leave, but wanted to see what Umbridge looked like when he was cursed.

"Okay, let's go!" Umbridge said to Luna, noticing the other people's scrutiny, "Miss Lovegood, bring it to me."

Everyone looked at Luna, Hermione even grabbed Luna's hand and tried to stop her, but Luna didn't care, but bent down and picked up the Book of Origins from the secret passage and handed it to Um Richie.

Umbridge looked Luna up and down, and found that the other party had not changed, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, he had already decided to find an excuse to put the other party in confinement later.

When Umbridge took the Book of Origins from Luna, everyone's eyes widened, and the curse Fred said was actually true.

After Umbridge came into contact with the Book of Origins, a large number of pimples suddenly appeared on her arms, not only her arms, but even her face.

Gu Yan"Ah!"

Umbridge's screams echoed through the hallway, and she threw away the book in her hands in horror, so that the pimple didn't continue to appear.

"Look, anyone who tries to illegally possess it will be cursed by the Book of Origins." Luna looked curiously at the pimple on Umbridge's face, bent down and reached out to pick up the "Book of Origins" that had fallen on the ground. The Book of Origins", said lightly, "I suggest you go to the school hospital, maybe Madam Pomfrey has a way to remove the curse."

"We reminded you."

Fred and George looked at the collapsed Umbridge with helpless expressions, which amused the students around them.

"However, it's unbelievable that I'm so stunned by myself."

"Gritch!" Someone starts retching.

"Deserved, retribution." Someone laughed happily.

"Haha, now she's more like a toad." Someone gloated.

"I didn't think there was a real curse." Some people were surprised at the change in Umbridge.

"Whoever has a camera, take a picture of the toad, I'm willing to pay a high price."

Students who were watching the fun and didn't think it was a big deal began to make a fuss, laughing at Umbridge's embarrassed appearance. Several Slytherin students who came with Umbridge were hacked and all fell. On the ground, paralyzed into a mass of mud.

"What the **** are you doing!"

An annoyed voice came from nearby, it was Professor McGonagall, who had apparently heard Umbridge screaming and came to check the situation.

"Professor, Umbridge tried to illegally possess the Book of Origins, so he was cursed by the book, you know, this book..." Professor McGonagall gave George before he could finish his sophistry. interrupted.

"You didn't tell her?" Professor McGonagall glared at the twins, who she thought were trying to get in trouble.

"We reminded her." George spread his hands helplessly, "but you know she's not someone who is willing to listen, and, she also said..."

"Where is Albert, go find him, and who else will take her to the school hospital." Professor McGonagall sighed deeply as he looked at the group of gloating students.

"You guys go back and continue the game." George said to the other students around him, "I don't think Toad will wake up for a while."

"George," said Professor McGonagall annoyed.

"Okay professor, let's take her to the school hospital." George greeted Fred with a smile.

The game continued, but everyone was discussing the curse of the toad. Many people ran to the hallway outside the school hospital to watch. Madam Pomfrey calmly announced after learning about the specific situation, "I can't help this curse. , it's better to find the caster, otherwise she will have to wait until she wakes up by herself."

"Where's Albert?" Professor McGonagall asked the Weasley brothers sideways.

"I don't know, we can't find him for the time being, but when the wizarding card game is about to end, Albert will definitely come over to award the champion." George explained with a smile.

"Okay, you can leave now." After Professor McGonagall dismissed the people, he looked at Umbridge lying on the hospital bed, and asked Madam Pomfrey, "Poppy, what's wrong with her? ."

"It's just a normal coma, but those bumps probably won't go away with a potion." Madam Pomfrey said calmly, she didn't like Umbridge, and she didn't like her destroying the Wizarding Card Club, because She also has her own wizard card.

"What a greedy idiot." Professor McGonagall shook her head and walked away. She actually knew there was a curse, but she also took the book and wasn't cursed for it.

Unexpectedly, Umbridge was cursed as soon as he touched it, apparently intending to take the book directly for himself.

The game is still going on, it's just that people are talking about Umbridge's curse, some gloating over Toad's fate, believing she deserves it, and some worrying about whether Albert will be punished for it.

The wizarding card game continued in this atmosphere. Due to the fact that the process that originally took several days was greatly compressed, and the interference from Umbridge just now, the already crowded process arrangement suddenly became tense. .

Albert came to the event room around 5:30 to officiate the final showdown for the final two contestants.

Albert wasn't too surprised after hearing from a group of enthusiasts about Umbridge's previous deeds, knowing that sooner or later Umbridge would be eyeing the Wizarding Card Club.

Albert's calmness soon infected others, and everyone wondered if Albert would fall out with Umbridge.

The final showdown lasted only ten minutes, and the final winner was a Ravenclaw sophomore witch named Ola Quirk. She almost crushed her opponent with absolute strength.

"Congratulations, this is an extra gift from me."

Albert puts the purse containing Galleon in the champion's hand, passing her his new book by the way.

"A work that I have recently completed, which is not currently sold in bookstores, I hope it can bring you some help!"

There was a sudden uproar in the crowd, and everyone was very interested in Albert's new book, because in previous rumors, it was said that Albert had compiled a book on Defense Against the Dark Arts.

"When are you going to start selling this book!"

"Next semester," said Albert calmly, "that's when people will need my book."

"Okay, let's give our youngest champion a round of applause. Now is her champion moment."

Ravenclaw symbol fireworks exploded above everyone's heads, and applause broke out in the event room.

Albert waved his wand gently, the tables in the lounge were emptied, and a large number of snacks and butterbeer appeared on the table, Albert raised his glass to send his blessing to the young champion.

"I'll deal with Umbridge first." After a glass of butterbeer, Albert decided to leave for the time being.

"No problem." Lee Jordan frowned.

"What could be wrong."

Umbridge was awake by the time Albert arrived at the school hospital, her temper looked terrible, and she had been muttering cursing.

Professor McGonagall is talking to Madam Pomfrey in a low voice and seems to be in a good mood.

"Honestly, I was really surprised when I heard the news." Albert was calm, and couldn't see exactly where he was surprised.

"You know, a lot of people have touched that book, but no one has really been cursed ~IndoMTL.com~ Seems to hear Albert's voice, Umbridge jumps up from the hospital bed in a huff , towards Albert.

"You..."

She was silenced before she could finish her words. She grabbed her neck in horror and glared at Albert angrily. , standing in the same place like a stone sculpture.

"I think she might need a sedative." Albert waved his wand, and a hospital bed ran up behind Umbridge, letting her fall on it, before quickly returning to her place.

"She is very lucky that she hasn't been in contact with the Book of Origins for too long, otherwise the curse will remain on her body forever." Albert interrupted what Professor McGonagall was about to say, and calmly told the truth, "Her symptoms are not serious, the power of the curse will subside in three days at the latest, and she should be able to recover completely in about a week."

"I need to talk to her alone about this matter." Albert motioned for the two to leave for a while.

"Okay, but I hope..."

"I'll take care of this, please don't worry," Albert assured.

After Professor McGonagall and Madam Pomfrey left, Albert went to Umbridge's hospital bed and drew his wand from his robe pocket under the terrified gaze of the other.

A few minutes later, Albert left the school hospital.

"Okay Professor, I have temporarily persuaded Umbridge." Albert announced happily, "I will temporarily stop the Wizarding Card Club, and Professor Umbridge has promised not to pursue the previous matter."

Professor McGonagall looked suspiciously at Albert, and then at the school hospital, which was completely quiet, curious about how Albert convinced Umbridge.
