Chapter 357 Hogwarts Senior Investigator

"What did you say?" Umbridge clenched her fists and turned them outwards, making an angry look that often appeared in anime characters. "Shouldn't such a student be expelled?"

"Umbridge, please don't get excited yet." Professor McGonagall said expressionlessly, "As we all know, expelling a student requires the consent of the principal. Unfortunately, Principal Dumbledore is currently visiting friends in France, and I can't contact him at all. So until he comes back, I'm afraid this matter can only be put on hold for the time being."

In the principal's office, Ron and Harry couldn't help cheering, and the Weasleys also secretly made a yes gesture. Only George and Weasley looked at each other - both of them had a bad premonition.

"I can't accept this kind of treatment!" Umbridge glared at Harry and Ron, then continued to yell at McGonagall, "Can it be said that these two trash did something as outrageous as attacking the professor? Don’t you have to suffer any punishment?”

"I didn't mean that. I just said that George and Weasley cannot be expelled from school until Dumbledore comes back."

"Then when will Dumbledore come back?!"

"I'm sorry, Umbridge, I don't know. To tell you the truth, the friend Dumbledore is visiting is named Nicolas Flamel. He is a great alchemist. I believe you also know that. And that There seems to be some kind of shielding equipment installed in the manor, and I can't contact Dumbledore no matter what method I use. But you don't have to worry, at least Dumbledore will definitely be back before the end of this semester."

"That means that these two rubbish will not receive the punishment they deserve before the end of this semester?" Umbridge said sarcastically, "You are an outstanding professor and dean, McGonagall. !”

"I remind you again, only after Dumbledore comes back can we discuss whether to expel George and Fred. But before that, we can use other methods as punishment." McGonagall's cold eyes It swept over the Weasley brothers, which made the latter shudder, "After all, what they did is indeed unforgivable!"

"Very well, then I ask them to suspend classes immediately and go home before Dumbledore comes back!"

"no."

"Why?!"

"Because they are still students of Hogwarts now." Professor McGonagall said expressionlessly, "And as long as they are students of Hogwarts, they must study and take exams normally. This is the rule of Hogwarts. "

"Then I require them to be confined in my office during all their spare time!"

As soon as these words came out, the office suddenly fell into an eerie silence.

Professor McGonagall was pressing her lips together, as if thinking about the feasibility of Umbridge's proposal. The Weasley brothers and Harry and other people who knew the truth about Umbridge's confinement looked at McGonagall with worried faces, fearing that she would really agree.

But Professor McGonagall obviously didn't intend to let them do so.

"Can."

As Professor McGonagall uttered these two words coldly, Umbridge finally showed a smile on her face, while George, Fred and others looked ashen.

"Well, the confinement will start at 19:00 tonight." Umbridge sneered and said to the Weasley brothers, "Enjoy this last happy time."

After saying that, Umbridge flicked her sleeves and walked out of the office, leaving only McGonagall and others with unhappy expressions.

Another half hour later, McGonagall and others were kicked out of the office by McGonagall. Now only Professor McGonagall and Mr. and Mrs. Weasley were left talking in the office.

"Mike, we're done now. This guy Umbridge will definitely make us 'copy sentences'."

"Yes, for the sake of us being friends, please come up with a solution for us."

"Trying to find a way to make you drop out of school?" Mac rolled his eyes at the depressed Weasley brothers beside him and said unceremoniously, "This is impossible. Mr. and Mrs. Weasley both hope that you can complete your studies. "

Hearing this, Hermione nodded in approval, while Ron and Harry looked sad.

In their opinion, it would be better to be expelled from school than to suffer at Umbridge's place every day.

The Weasley brothers also had similar expressions, but Mike's next words rekindled their hopes.

"But I still have a way to make the two of you a little more comfortable." Mike snapped his fingers and said, "But it requires the cooperation of all of us."

"Just tell me, Mike, I'll do anything!"

Harry said with bright eyes. He was already so guilty that he couldn't give up now that he had an opportunity to make amends.

"It's very simple. The students at Hogwarts still don't know the truth about Umbridge's confinement, right?"

Everyone nodded.

"Then we just need to let them know the truth." Mike said, "Leave the rest to me!"

Harry and others looked at each other with confusion on their faces, but this did not prevent them from doing what Mike said. Hermione had some bad premonitions, but she couldn't guess what Mike was going to do. Do something.

A few hours later, a notice appeared in the foyer.

This is a punishment announcement about the Weasley brothers, which clearly informs everyone of the crimes the Weasley brothers have committed and the punishment they will receive.

As soon as this announcement came out, it was watched by everyone in the auditorium. Everyone said something to each other, and the entire auditorium quickly became a mess.

Although the Weasley brothers have quite bad personalities, they often do some pranks to tease their classmates.

But their popularity is very good. Basically, except for Slytherin House, their friends are all over Hogwarts.

So among the crowd of onlookers, apart from Malfoy and other Slytherins who were gloating about their misfortune, the rest were all feeling aggrieved for the Weasley brothers.

Mike was smiling in the corner, and that was exactly what he wanted to see.

How can we make life easier for the Weasley brothers?

This problem is actually very simple. All you need to do is introduce a few unlucky people to divert Umbridge's hatred. The reason why he didn't tell Harry and others at the beginning was that they were soft-hearted.

But now, seeing his classmates so angry, he felt relieved.

"Pass my order," Mike waved to a member of the Mutual Aid Association and handed him a piece of parchment. "Let people spread the news on this parchment. Do it covertly and don't let anyone know. Others know we did it.”

The boy from Gryffindor's mutual aid club nodded and quickly opened the parchment and read through it.

At this sight, the boy had a look of disbelief on his face, because what was written on the parchment was exactly the truth about Umbridge's confinement. Even Mike was worried that the impact of this punishment was not enough, and he even added fuel to the fire. After a while.

The boy gritted his teeth, put the parchment in his pocket, and then quickly disappeared into the auditorium.

That night, a rumor about "Umbridge's cruel true face" spread wildly in Gryffindor.

The original source of this information is unknown, but according to descriptions, it was discovered by an unknown first-year Gryffindor student.

The first-year student discovered Harry returning from Umbridge's office during a night out with his classmates, and unexpectedly discovered that there were shocking wounds on the back of Harry's hands.

These students felt strange, so they followed Harry. Finally, in Harry's mumbling, they finally discovered the truth.

Umbridge is actually using cruel methods to punish students who have made mistakes!

This incident caused a storm within Gryffindor over the next few days.

Then everyone found Harry and asked him about the authenticity of the news.

Harry, who was found, showed the back of his injured hand to everyone with a look of sadness on his face, and told the truth of the matter.

This was really serious. The group of 'brave little lions' in Gryffindor couldn't sit still immediately. Umbridge's depressing teaching methods had already made everyone very dissatisfied. In addition, George and Fred had just been announced to be in confinement for a whole semester and Harry's current miserable situation, these little lions couldn't stand it anymore. Everyone roared that Umbridge must be punished, and many students even declared Tell their parents to send howler letters to the Ministry of Magic!

At the same time, an article was also published in the Daily Prophet.

"The Ministry of Magic seeks education - Dolores Umbridge appointed as the first Senior Inquisitor"

This newspaper interviewed Percy Weasley, junior assistant to the Minister of Magic, last night and learned a surprising news - after a series of discussions, the Ministry of Magic passed a new decree - "Article 1" Education Act No. 23.

To talk about "Education Decree No. 23", we have to talk about the "Education Decree No. 22" that was just passed not long ago. The purpose of this decree is that if the current principal cannot provide candidates for a certain teaching position, he will be The Ministry of Magic recommends a suitable candidate.

This is how Dolores Umbridge entered Hogwarts and became the school's Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.

A Slytherin student who did not want to be named said that Umbridge was very successful at Hogwarts. She made breakthrough changes in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class and provided the minister with timely information on the real situation at Hogwarts. Live feedback. Thanks to her efforts, the grades of Hogwarts graduates this year are expected to improve significantly.

Among the information fed back by Professor Umbridge, the Ministry of Magic discovered some shocking news.

The most incredible thing is that Dumbledore may have embezzled and misappropriated public funds from Hogwarts. In the past few years, Dumbledore has recruited many people, including the werewolf Remus Lupin. A large number of professors who are not worthy of their name, including Rubeus Hagrid, a half-blood giant.

In order to clarify the ins and outs of these two matters, and to further improve students' performance, the Ministry of Magic issued a new "Education Decree No. 23" based on the success of "Education Decree No. 22" 》.

This decree opened a new position of Senior Inquisitor in Hogwarts, and also made Professor Umbridge the first Senior Inquisitor of Hogwarts, who will oversee the entire Hogwarts in future work. All professors at Watts, including Dumbledore, are conducting in-depth investigations. For the sake of our children's physical and mental education, Umbridge, the local senior investigator who discovers any violation, will order rectification. In serious cases, he may even be punished. Will be fired.

Of course, according to the information given by Mr. Weasley, Senior Investigator Umbridge's main task this time is still to investigate Dumbledore's corruption.

If this matter is confirmed, the respected Dumbledore is likely to lose his identity as the Headmaster of Hogwarts and be jointly prosecuted by the Hogwarts School Directors and the Ministry of Magic.

And if the Wizengamot Court finds Dumbledore guilty, then the legendary wizard is likely to be sentenced to life imprisonment!

(For a detailed introduction to Dumbledore’s life, please see the attached page)

In the early morning auditorium, Mike looked at the Daily Prophet in his hand with a strange expression.

He didn't expect that one of his unintentional actions would make the Ministry of Magic suspect Dumbledore of possible corruption, and also allow them to speed up the implementation of "Education Act No. 23".

Beside him, Franklin was reading the same newspaper with relish.

It wasn't until he read the entire article word for word that he sighed and said to Mike:

"Now Umbridge has more power, what are you going to do?"

Mike shook his head and said: "It doesn't matter, just proceed as planned."

"This is not a good idea. Now that Umbridge has so much power, those who want to resist her are likely to be punished more severely." Franklin frowned, "To be honest, I can't understand why you want to There is no point in inciting others to deal with Umbridge. Are you just trying to avenge George and Fred?

No, no, your purpose shouldn't be that simple, because if you want revenge, we have more and better ways. So what exactly do you want to do? This time we have invested everyone in the mutual aid association. If there is not enough income, we will lose money. "

Hearing this, Mike looked at Franklin with an idiot look, and after a long time he said:

"Don't worry, we will never lose money. In addition, you must be mentally prepared, we may have to leave Hogwarts soon."

"What!?" Franklin screamed, then quickly covered his mouth, lowered his voice and continued to ask: "When?"

"Soon, soon..."

Mike answered Franklin's question in a voice so low that it was almost inaudible, and as soon as Mike finished speaking, Harry's urgent voice came from behind the two of them.

"Mike! It's bad!"
