Chapter 369 Education Order No. 25

What can make a person who has just been "death threatened" continue to carry out actions that may bring her death despite the threats?

It's very simple, either the threat has been removed, or someone has promised her a benefit that is big enough for her to take the risk!

In view of the two senior Slytherin students who followed Umbridge like bodyguards, Mike guessed that someone in Slytherin must have provided protection to Umbridge.

And that person is most likely Chris!

Mike's hands unclenched and clenched, clenched and unclenched, looking extremely unhappy.

If things really went as he expected and Umbridge and Chris became companions, then this would be a big blow to his plans at Hogwarts.

Mike, who was deep in thought, suddenly felt someone tapping him. He turned around and saw Franklin looking at him with an uneasy expression.

"Are you okay?" Franklin asked cautiously, "Umbridge and Trelawney have left, do we still have to follow them to see them?"

"certainly!"

Mike said this, and then walked out of the divination class at the lead.

In the corridor at this moment, Umbridge was walking triumphantly under the personal protection of a senior Slytherin, and behind her was a large group of onlookers.

Umbridge's bodyguard is very responsible, but anyone who wants to get within one meter of Umbridge will be blocked by him. For this reason, he even took out his wand as a warning.

At the front of the team was the expelled Trelawney and the other Slytherin who escorted her.

At this time, although Trelawney's hair was messy and her eyes were still red, she held her head high and her posture was proud.

She strutted towards the outside of the castle with her head held high as a crowd of classmates watched. Looking at her appearance, people who didn't know the truth might think that she was a GM martyr heading to the execution ground!

Of course, it would be more like it if her legs didn't tremble and her steps didn't stagger.

Umbridge, who was walking behind Trelawney, took it all in stride, with a proud smile on her face.

She really liked this feeling of power so much. In the past week, she had been worried every day, fearing that the masked man who was once a nightmare would reappear and stab her chest with a knife!

This situation lasted until Chris came to visit and began to gradually improve, because Chris promised to summon Slytherin's elite graduates to protect him and use his connections in the Ministry of Magic to fight for greater rights for himself. .

According to Chris, the elite Slytherins who will be sent to protect themselves will be of the highest level, and they are the kind of students who can directly join the Auror force with a little training after graduation.

And the price of all this is just to give Slytherin House some 'insignificant' privileges, and to give Slytherin students some 'reasonable' bonus points during the exam!

This deal is a steal!

At least it's a lot better than the deal with Mike Townley!

Umbridge agreed to Chris almost without hesitation, and the next day, she began her revenge on Hogwarts - expelling Trelawney!

This is Umbridge's choice after careful consideration. There is no way, Trelawney is too weak and too unimportant.

There's nothing better than using her as a test for the higher-ups at Hogwarts!

Thinking this, the smile on Umbridge's face became even brighter.

At the front of the team, Professor McGonagall, who was wearing a uniform and holding a textbook in hand, was pressing her lips tightly and walking quickly towards the crowd.

The first time she saw Professor McGonagall, Trelawney, who was still like a chaste martyr, immediately burst into tears. She quickly stepped forward, hugged Mag's thigh, and said with choked sobs:

"She wants to drive me away! She wants to drive me away! I want to see Dumbledore, who promised me! He promised me that he would never fire me!"

Upon seeing this, the surrounding crowd burst into laughter again, and almost everyone present was amused by Trelawney's huge change in attitude.

McGonagall was very helpless as her thigh was hugged. She wanted to pull her leg out, but found that Trelawt was extremely strong. She couldn't break free at all. In the end, she could only stand there and wait for Umbridge to walk up. Come.

Umbridge, who was walking behind, also looked shocked when she discovered McGonagall, and immediately stopped where she was, unwilling to go any further.

The Slytherin bodyguard beside her had obviously already been greeted. When Professor McGonagall appeared, he blocked Umbridge directly and took out his wand towards Professor McGonagall.

Professor McGonagall's face turned darker, and the students nearby also let out a burst of exclamations.

Pointing a wand at a powerful professor?

This is simply a fantasy!

However, the Slytherin student ignored it and continued to be careful and vigilant. Even if Professor McGonagall's eyes were probably extremely intense, he would not back down.

Perhaps it was the brave behavior of the bodyguard that gave her the courage. Umbridge timidly poked her head out from behind the Slytherin, and pretended to shout to McGonagall from a distance:

"Ma... Mag! What's the matter with you blocking here?"

"I think you have to give me an explanation, Umbridge!"

Professor McGonagall's voice was extremely cold, and anyone could tell that she was holding back her anger at the moment.

Hearing this, Umbridge retracted her head again,

"I think it's not your turn to intervene in this matter!"

"I remember I told you very clearly that the order to expel students and professors can only be issued by the principal, and no one can make decisions without authorization before Dumbledore returns to school!"

"Really?" Umbridge suddenly leaned out again, and in her hand was a piece of parchment with the Ministry of Magic's stamp on it. Then she had to pick up the parchment and wave it at McGonagall. He waved and said, "I don't think so!"

"what is that?"

Franklin asked in a low voice. Mike was about to answer that he didn't know, but when he saw Umbridge in front of him, he started to say:

"This is a new decree! Education Order No. 25!"

"Another one!" Professor McGonagall shouted fiercely.

"Not bad!" Umbridge put a smile on her face again, "I will now read out the new decree... ahem...

The High Inquisitor will henceforth have the ultimate authority over all punishments, sanctions and deprivations involving Hogwarts students and staff, and will have the power to modify such punishments, sanctions and deprivations imposed by other staff.

Signed: Cornelius Fudge

minister of magic

Order of Merlin, First Class

...(500 words omitted)"

After saying that, Umbridge carefully rolled up the parchment and put it into her handbag, still smiling.

Professor McGonagall's body was trembling slightly, obviously angry at Umbridge.

Trelawney, who was kneeling on the ground, had even forgotten to cry, and just looked at the triumphant Umbridge with a dull look on her face.

The surrounding students also had different performances. The Slytherins were cheering, while the people in the other three houses were sighing.

Oh, no.

Not everyone in the other three colleges was sad either.

At least the Weasley brothers were very happy, because now that they have the right to expel students, it means that they are about to be expelled, and their hard days are finally coming to an end.

"So, I think I now have the right to fire anyone who makes a mistake!"

Umbridge looked around with a ferocious smile, as if she wanted to memorize the faces of everyone present.

Trelawney, who was still in a dazed state, fainted when Umbridge glared at her like this.

The Weasley brothers in the crowd quickly pretended to be heartbroken after noticing Umbridge's eyes, fearing that Umbridge would not fire them if she got angry.

Perhaps because she saw the scared look on the Weasley brothers, Umbridge nodded with satisfaction and said to the Slytherin next to Trelawney:

"Why are you still standing there? Get her out of here!"

When the Slytherin heard this, he immediately took out his wand and waved it lightly. Trelawney, who was on the ground without seeing him reciting a spell, floated up - this was actually a master of silent spells!

"Wait a minute! Didn't you see she fainted? At least send her there first..."

Professor McGonagall quickly spoke out to stop her, but before she could finish her words, she saw Trelawney floating and struggling desperately.

A sarcastic smile flashed across Umbridge's face, she nodded and took the lead towards the outside of Hogwarts Castle.

At this moment, Professor McGonagall's face was ashen. Although her fists were clenched, she didn't move at all.

Mike on the side couldn't help but shook his head.

Professor McGonagall is still too rigid. In Mike's opinion, Trelawney should be kept at all costs!

This is not to say how important Trelawney is, but that Umbridge’s move is obviously testing the bottom line of Hogwarts’ senior management.

Maybe Professor McGonagall thought it didn't matter if she made a little concession, but she forgot that Umbridge was not just a professor, but an extremely good politician!

And one of the obvious characteristics of truly outstanding politicians is that they push the envelope!

As long as you take a step back in any matter, they will press forward step by step!

Until you are completely driven to death! Eat and wipe clean!

It is foreseeable that after this time Umbridge will completely get rid of the shadow of the 'death threat', and life for the senior officials at Hogwarts, including Snape and McGonagall, will become extremely difficult.

And in this bad state, I believe Dumbledore must come back.

Seeing Umbridge and others walking away, Mike sighed and said to Benjamin and others:

"Get ready, Dumbledore is coming back soon, and our plan must be accelerated!"

"Yes!" Benjamin nodded solemnly, "I understand!"

Franklin on the side was confused. He looked at Mike for a while and then at Benjamin.

Mike didn't bother to explain to him, shook his head and left the crowd.

…

That night, the army gathered again.

This time, Mike learned the lesson from last time and assigned two sets of special lesson plans based on the level of magic and talent of the mutual aid association members and others.

Among them, Cho Chang and Harry were taught the Locking Tongue Charm from Snape's textbook. This spell is very simple and very practical, because once hit by this spell, your tongue will stick to your mouth. together, resulting in the inability to recite the mantra.

If used well, this magic spell can allow them to eliminate enemies with minimal cost in fierce battles.

As for those enemies who can do silent spells, Mike believes that with the level of magic power of Harry and others, no matter what spells they teach them, they will just be giving away trouble when encountering such enemies.

Mike's requirements for the members of the mutual aid association were much higher. Mike not only required them to master the locking tongue spell, but also taught them several other variations of spells, such as: variations of the Bubble Curse - suffocation, fluorescent flashing spell. Variations - Flashbang, Gut-Evisceration Curse Variation - Heart-Evisceration...

Hermione and Harry were initially dissatisfied with Mike's behavior because it also contained several spells that were obviously dark magic.

However, under Mike's "knife innocence" theory, they all finally compromised.

"Okay, I admit you talk a lot!"

Harry said helplessly and yawned tiredly after speaking.

"Something's not quite right with you. It's only half past ten." Mike was a little confused. "You're usually very energetic at this time. So, what's wrong with you today?"

"Oh, nothing happened. It's just that Ron and I played Quidditch for a while this afternoon."

"Quidditch? Didn't I remember that the Quidditch team was disbanded?"

"Our captain thinks the Quidditch team will resume soon." Harry yawned again, "So he has been pulling us for training these days."

Hearing this, Mike immediately frowned. He was extremely puzzled by Gryffindor's behavior of committing crimes against the odds.

"I advise you not to go to training anymore."

"Don't worry, Mike. Haha~, I won't affect the class. So you don't have to persuade me like Hermione."

"What I mean is that you must be careful about Umbridge." Mike shook his head and said, "She has greater power now. If you still blatantly cause trouble at this time, the punishment you receive will definitely become more severe."

"Oh, okay then, I will discuss it with the captain." Harry said seriously, "As you know, I don't have the say whether to train or not."

"You can say no!"

"No, I can't." Harry said, "He (the captain) will kill me. Besides..."

Harry looked at Ron again, "We don't need to be afraid of Umbridge! You say so, Ron!"

Ron, who was seriously trying to use the locking tongue spell on Neville, was distracted when he heard this and cast the spell on a girl next to him.

The Room of Requirement immediately became chaotic again. Mike looked at the people fighting together and shook his head helplessly.

Sometimes people really seek their own death!

He had a premonition that Harry and the others would soon suffer retribution!
