Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 1078: Toad’s Counterattack
Chapter 1080 Toad's Counterattack
Umbridge, who had just returned to school, encountered a lot of trouble before he had time to ask the students for trouble.
This ancient castle seems to be cursed, and various situations will appear from time to time, and these problems need to be solved by Umbridge himself. For this reason, she had to run around again to deal with various emergencies in the school.
Even with Filch's help, Umbridge was still troubled by these troubles.
As for the Defense Against the Dark Arts class that had been suspended, it was naturally reopened, but this class was still half-dead.
After the class bell rang, the students in the classroom would begin to show various symptoms of physical discomfort, and then, under Umbridge’s gaze, groups of students would walk out of the classroom and head to the school. Hospital.
Looking at the empty Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom, Umbridge stared blankly at the last student who left, with a stern look on his face.
Now Hogwarts has completely broken free of her control, so this group of students dare to be so unscrupulous. Umbridge can guess those **** emergencies even with his knees. It was deliberately made to cause trouble for her.
There is also the **** anti-toad alliance. Even the Slytherin students that Umbridge had previously wooed are not very effective. It is said that she was severely retaliated by students from other houses during her hospitalization.
And that **** Peeves!
That guy accounted for more than half of Umbridge's troubles at school.
She also tried to solve Peeves’ troubles, and even tried to persuade Baro, the only **** man that Peeves was afraid of, to ask this ghost from Slytherin House to help discipline Peeves, but the result was not very good. Optimistic, although the blood man Barrow promised to help stop Peeves' pranks, but he only agreed verbally, the blood man Barrow could not keep his eyes on Peeves forever.
The ghosts of the school will indeed provide some help to Hogwarts, but that help is still very limited, after all, they are the afterimages of the dead. Umbridge also found that she couldn't command the ghosts, just like she couldn't even get into the headmaster's office now.
Now the more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he became. Umbridge looked up at the empty classroom, and fell into speechless silence again.
You have to fight back, you have to change everything, you can't sit still, that's not her way of doing things.
With the help of Filch, Umbridge used the gondola to cross the swamp and return to the Defense Against the Dark Arts office on the seventh floor. She didn't continue to change offices, even if she changed to a new office, maybe a new swamp would appear outside the office the next day.
All of this was done by the members of the "Anti-Toad Alliance", and the leader of this **** organization is probably Albert Anderson, the only one with such influence in the whole school, even if he is not That **** guy, the Weasley twin must have been involved too.
According to the information provided by the Slytherin students, the Weasley brothers sold all kinds of joke props around the school, and they were Albert's roommates, and they had a very good relationship.
If there was no evidence, Umbridge would have fired the Weasley brothers a long time ago, or had Filch hang them up and whip them.
If Arthur Weasley hadn't been suspended for investigation, Umbridge would have asked Fudge to transfer him to the Centaur Liaison Office.
("Sent to the Centaur Liaison Office" has become an inside joke in the Ministry of Magic, implying that the person mentioned is about to be fired.)
Umbridge knew that she had to take action and use the power of the Ministry of Magic to consolidate her power and control in Hogwarts, otherwise her suffering would be meaningless.
Finally, Umbridge knocked on the door of the Minister of Magic's office again. Although this would make her look a little incompetent and even weaken her impression in Fudge's heart, Umbridge knew that he wanted to regain control of Hogwarts. If you want to use Ci, you must rely on the power of the Ministry of Magic.
"What happened?"
Fudge looked up from the pile of documents, and was surprised to see that it was Umbridge.
"The situation at Hogwarts is very bad."
Umbridge took a deep breath, handed a report to Fudge, and began to describe the troubles he encountered at Hogwarts.
"What are you going to do?" Fudge asked.
"Hogwarts is experiencing various problems. I suspect that someone is secretly messing with me. I need help. If necessary, I plan to expel a few students to deter others."
"Who are you going to fire?" Fudge asked casually. He didn't really care who Umbridge wanted to expel, nor was he interested in what happened at Hogwarts, as long as Dumbledore was no longer the headmaster.
As for Umbridge's so-called expulsion, it was more to deter Hogwarts students.
"Albert Anderson." Umbridge said without hesitation: "Even if it wasn't him, this whole thing must have something to do with him. I suspect that all the troubles I encountered were related to him. The corridors have been turned into a swamp. There are various strange diseases in the whole school. Every time I have Defense Against the Dark Arts class, there is no one left. I suspect it is all his tricks. The help of the therapist at the Mungo Magic Injury Hospital.”
"That guy is very troublesome." Fudge reminded with a frown, "Also, I remember that he is about to graduate, and he will go out on his own in a few months."
Umbridge understood Fudge's meaning, that is, don't provoke Albert.
"Okay, what are you going to do?" Fudge didn't forget the disgrace.
"I have a way!"
Umbridge handed Fudge a parchment, which was a solution she had been thinking about recently.
Fudge quickly read the contents of the parchment, then looked up at Umbridge, not optimistic about the plan. But Fudge did not refuse the right-hand man's request in the end. Hogwarts is a mess now, just look at the last time Umbridge was hospitalized.
If the Ministry of Magic wants to completely control Hogwarts, I am afraid that it still needs to rely on Umbridge. At least she will not just stay in verbal complaints like others, but will actually take action for it.
There is no doubt about Umbridge's ability to handle affairs, otherwise Dumbledore would not have been expelled from Hogwarts.
"I will let Weasley cooperate."
Fudge stamped the parchment, agreeing to assign a group of people to Umbridge to help her put order in Hogwarts.
As for whether the simple plan on the parchment can be successful, you have to try it to know.
A few days later, on the seventh floor of Hogwarts, in Umbridge's office, the administrator Filch was standing by the fireplace with a pocket watch, waiting patiently for the coming "guest".
Suddenly a blazing green flame rose from the fireplace, and two healers from St. The teacher took it to the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom.
According to the following practice, many students will have various strange symptoms.
When Umbridge smiled and introduced to everyone that she had found a therapist from St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries, she caught the students in the classroom by surprise.
The group of students who had just fainted, vomited, had a high fever, and had nosebleeds were a little dumbfounded.
Among them, several unlucky ones were screwed out as typical ones.
"Is it possible to examine the source of these mysterious ailments?" Umbridge asked the healers.
Therapists didn't have an immediate answer.
In fact, the two realized that something was wrong when they noticed that the students in the entire classroom were suffering from strange diseases, especially when the students said that they had "Umbridge Syndrome". Know what's going on right now.
However, the professor in front of me is really talented, and he can actually make the whole class want to skip class. How bad must Defense Against the Dark Arts be to be so disgusted by all the students that he would skip class in this way.
They recalled the reports they had read some time ago, and suddenly regretted coming over to help.
In fact, if the director of St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries hadn't asked them to come here to help solve the strange illnesses of Hogwarts students, they wouldn't want to lie in this muddy water at all.
"According to the condition you mentioned, it is likely to be caused by something."
The male therapist said to Umbridge after choosing his words carefully, "Many magical plants and magical animals are poisonous, and similar symptoms may indeed appear when ingested in small amounts, such as bleeding beans .”
As he spoke, he pointed to the student who was bleeding from the nose, and continued to analyze, "Misuse a small amount of Xuebengdou, a similar situation may occur. Of course, there may be other reasons, but it is necessary to find the incentives one by one. After doing detailed research, we can only give such a preliminary speculation at present.”
Looking at this group of students who fainted, vomited, had a high fever, and had nosebleeds, the therapists couldn't help feeling that the student who invented this way of skipping classes was really a genius. From what Umbridge said, it was not difficult for them to guess that the other party must have found a solution to these symptoms, otherwise it would be impossible to cure these symptoms in a short time.
"Can they be cured?" Umbridge asked again.
"We can temporarily prepare some antidote for them, but it is not difficult for us to guarantee it will be effective." The therapist shook his head and said, "We need time to study their symptoms carefully."
I don't know if it was intentional, or it was just like that. The medicine given by the therapist did have some effect, but it didn't completely cure the symptoms of the students, it could only relieve the symptoms.
After Umbridge smiled and asked Filch to send the two therapists away, he looked at the students in front of him with a fake smile, clapped his hands and said, "Okay, you heard it too, what you called "Umbridge Syndrome" is just a symptom of something. To be honest, I am very disappointed in you. Next, you don't want to use this excuse to skip any classes. Also, everyone has to shut down tonight. Confinement, right here, I hope this can make your minds clearer, don't keep thinking about some messy things."
The news that Umbridge sought the therapist from St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries to treat "Umbridge Syndrome" quickly spread throughout Hogwarts.
However, the operation that surprised everyone is yet to come.
Umbridge actually found the Curse Resolving Team from the Ministry of Magic again, and cleared the swamp on the corridor on the seventh floor of the castle and the swamp of the original Defense Against the Dark Arts office.
The "elite" Auror team even managed to suppress Peeves.
The method is very simple, that is to use spells in turn to disarm what Peeves holds. As long as Peeves has no weapons in his hands, it will be difficult for him to cause trouble for everyone.
The unprepared Peeves suffered a great loss from the pursuit of the Auror team led by Gadwin Robards. What surprised everyone was that the Aurors seemed to have found a spell that could have an effect on Peeves , since the last time he tried all kinds of expulsion spells but failed, Gadwin Robards worked hard in this area, and finally got his wish to complete the revenge against Peeves.
However, they were unable to expel Peeves in the end, because the guy disappeared without a trace.
Peeves naturally didn't intend to let it go, so he brought various items prepared by Albert to fight against the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic.
But in front of the well-prepared Aurors, Peeves really couldn't get much benefit.
The large amount of throat-locking poison gas it threw into the corridor was easily deciphered by the Cannon Head Curse, and the mandrake roots it threw were deciphered by the earmuffs, but the Aurors didn't take much advantage. All kinds of strange stench were exuding from their bodies, several Aurors were hit on the head by Peeves with a broom handle, and there were always students who secretly cast cold spells on them, the two sides fell into a stalemate for a while.
Peves approached Albert quietly, and pointed to his own throat, seemingly unable to make a sound.
After Albert pulled out his wand to lift the spell on Peeves, the mischievous guy immediately said, "I need more things!"
"Bloodman Barrow will come to you soon." Albert reminded. It is normal for Peeves to be deflated when the opponent is well prepared.
Bloodman Barrow?
Peeves shrank his neck involuntarily.
Albert has long seen through Peeves' bullying nature, and said calmly: "You can agree to sign a contract, saying that you will not go to trouble with the principal again, and get some power for it. Just like you signed the land contract with Principal Eupracia Moore."
"Don't worry, this contract basically has no effect, you can still trouble her~IndoMTL.com~Even if the contract is effective, Umbridge is not the headmaster of Hogwarts, that guy didn't get Some of the privileges that the headmaster of Hogwarts has. In fact, she can't even get into the headmaster's office, and you can get more privileges for no reason."
As for why Albert knew these things, it was because Wild Smith was also one of the school directors. Although they were only responsible for donating money to the school, the appointment from the Ministry of Magic was actually invalid. Not going is the best proof.
If Umbridge is really the headmaster, he can change the password of the entrance to the monster stone statue, how could he not even be able to enter the door.
Umbridge seemed to have expected this kind of situation early on. After discovering that dispelling Peeves was in a stalemate, he sent the **** Baron to negotiate with Peeves.
Finally, Peeves succumbed to Albert's suggestion and only agreed to sign a contract stating that he would never trouble the headmaster of Hogwarts again.
Bad news one after another cast a shadow over the castle again, and everyone knows that the nasty toad has returned.
The only thing that is more gratifying is that the group of employees of the Ministry of Magic tried a lot, but they still couldn't get rid of the **** toad statue at the entrance of the foyer. Cover the toad sculpture.
