Chapter 1042 No peace
One night, Umbridge found that he had suddenly turned into a toad and almost went crazy because of it, and his temper became even more irritable. Madam Pomfrey had to provide her with a large amount of tranquilizers to prevent Umbridge from being disturbed by his appearance. And completely collapsed.
However, what worries Madam Pomfrey even more is that she not only has to find time to comfort the pesky toad, but also has to deal with those curious students.
After the news that Umbridge turned into a toad spread, in order to see the toad with their own eyes, groups of students used the quick-acting skipping sugar provided by the Weasley brothers to send themselves to the school hospital for treatment. See what the toad really looks like.
Madam Pomfrey had to take out the cloth curtain and hang it around Umbridge's hospital bed, so that no one could see the toad, lest she lose control of her emotions with embarrassment. However, the effect was not good, because the curtain couldn't block everyone's voice, let alone the students who like to die.
For this reason, Madam Pomfrey suggested more than once that Umbridge go to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries to receive more formal treatment, but this proposal was rejected by Umbridge. She did not want others to know that she had changed. into this look.
Umbridge knew very well that if she showed up at St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries in this form, she would be in the headlines the next day.
She will never allow this to happen.
However, Umbridge didn't know that a black-hearted guy had already photographed her transformed into a toad, and planned to publish it in a magazine.
On the third day after Umbridge became a toad, the Minister of Magic, Fudge, personally went to Hogwarts to visit the sick, and quarreled with Dumbledore over this matter, completely displaying the viciousness and inwardness to the fullest.
Dumbledore expressed helplessly that this was probably the curse of the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. As we all know, the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts always has bad luck. Everyone knows this. Even Dumbledore clearly mentioned this to Umbridge before he took office.
However, Fudge didn't think so. He believed that Umbridge's appearance was completely caused by Dumbledore. This was Dumbledore's conspiracy.
Facing such unreasonable accusations, Dumbledore was not angry at all, but only mildly stated that Madam Pomfrey would do her best to treat Umbridge. Or transfer Professor Umbridge to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries for better treatment.
Finally, Fudge, after consulting Umbridge, let her stay at Hogwarts for treatment.
For Umbridge, staying in school was not the best option.
The evil consequences left behind quickly emerged.
Since then, Umbridge has regularly received gifts from strangers, including chocolate frogs, very realistic skewers of cockroaches, singing greeting cards, and miniature statuettes.
These obnoxious gifts, like a host of uninvited guests, occupied the table beside Umbridge's hospital bed.
At first, Umbridge didn't notice anything wrong. It wasn't until she took a bite of the chocolate frog that was added with Ariotte leaf extract that she deeply realized people's malice.
Cockroach skewers are a very realistic fudge, exactly the same as cockroaches, and they have been enchanted by people to always burrow into other people's mouths. It is said that it tastes very disgusting after eating.
The cards would sing "The Toad's Song" to a lullaby, and even if you tried to burn them, the sound would linger long after the song was over. The puppet statue model is Umbridge turned into a toad, jumping up and down, those who don't know it think it's a humanoid toad.
Umbridge was furious at this, and told Madam Pomfrey to throw away the presents. However, those things would appear on the table next to Umbridge's hospital bed the next day, and the cockroaches would even crawl into Umbridge's mouth, leaving an indelible memory for Umbridge.
After coming down a few times, Umbridge didn't dare to let Madam Pomfrey throw away his things, for fear that he would wake up with half a cockroach in his mouth.
Now she can only do the next best thing, get a piece of white cloth to cover things, so as not to be an eyesore.
This still doesn't solve the problem.
If Umbridge did that, he'd have cockroaches all over his face the next day.
She completely compromised.
Although Madam Pomfrey thought that if she had been willing to go to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Wounds and Wounds, this should not have happened, but this still did not change Toad's decision to stay at Hogwarts.
It's just that Umbridge didn't know that his persistence was meaningless at all.
"I dare say that Toad will faint with excitement when he sees this "Defense Letters."
Fred took a copy of the newspaper he got from Albert, and suggested with a smile: "We should send a copy to Toad."
"I've sent the house-elf over, I'm sure she'll be very excited when she receives it."
"I jumped out of bed with excitement."
"I think I should share it with everyone. Anyway, Toad is in the hospital now, and no one will come to make trouble. Now is the best opportunity. I think this magazine will definitely impress everyone." George said Albert thought Things to do.
"Also, we should reschedule the broadcast." Lee Jordan liked the Wizard's Lookout broadcast.
"You can arrange for her to send a letter to Umbridge." Albert is quite satisfied with this, "When the time comes, take the radio to Umbridge's hospital bed and let the toad listen to everyone's congratulations." Bless her.
The four of them looked at each other with unconcealable malice on their faces.
On that day, a large number of free "Defense Letters" appeared in Hogwarts Castle, and they were quickly known to curious students.
Umbridge's toad appearance even appeared on the cover of the magazine. The only pity is that Umbridge on the cover of the magazine has no head.
According to some parties, the face of the toad is very like that of a toad.
Everyone blamed what happened to her on the curse of the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, and many people said that Toad would soon leave Hogwarts.
The most embarrassing thing is that the Anti-Toad Alliance stated that it is responsible for this matter, and claimed that the alliance has achieved preliminary results in the anti-toad, which won everyone's unanimous praise.
Suddenly, the number of students claiming to be the Anti-Toad Alliance jumped a lot.
"Defense Express" has become a must-read newspaper for the Anti-Toad Alliance.
As for the education order?
Umbridge was still lying in the school hospital, and had no time to trouble everyone.
Wizard Lookout Station is also popular with everyone. Students often get together to listen to the broadcast of Wizard Lookout Station and discuss the content inside.
However, people's joys and sorrows are not connected.
After Umbridge found the latest issue of "Defense Letters", he jumped up from the hospital bed and tore the "Defense Letters" into pieces. In the end, Madam Pomfrey had to use the Stunning Charm to put her into a deep sleep. Successfully avoid the other party's emotional over-excitement.
No way, the cover of this magazine is impressively Umbridge turned into a toad. Although there is no head, it is not difficult to recognize the person on the cover from the clothes on her body.
…
ah!
A shrill scream cut through the night.
The compartment next to the school hospital was suddenly opened, and Madam Pomfrey walked into the school hospital vigilantly holding a wand. When she saw Umbridge running towards her in a panic, she almost knocked him down by mistake.
"what happened?"
Madam Pomfrey raised her wand and looked for the hospital bed in the school hospital, but she couldn't see anything. She suppressed her anger and looked at Umbridge who almost hid behind her.
"Giant, giant, there is a giant..."
"There are no giants here!" Madam Pomfrey interrupted impatiently, "You just had a nightmare, I told you to take sleeping pills."
"I'm sure it's a giant." Umbridge retorted loudly, "I just saw a giant!"
"You are having a nightmare." Madam Pomfrey walked around the hospital hospital with her wand in hand, and said to Umbridge expressionlessly, "Look, there are no giants here except you."
Being woken up in the middle of the night, it's no wonder Madam Pomfrey was in a bad mood.
Umbridge was speechless, because the giant she had just seen had disappeared, but she was sure that it was definitely a giant just now.
But why did it disappear?
"What's going on, I heard screaming just now."
Professor McGonagall, wearing pajamas and holding a wand, appeared at the entrance of the school hospital. Looking at the two people inside, his expression became a little weird.
"Umbridge had a nightmare." Madam Pomfrey explained helplessly.
"Peves, I bet Peeves did it."
Filch did not forget to blame Peeves on his head. Recently, Peeves couldn't continue to harm Umbridge, and could only harm Filch and other Hogwarts students.
Not long ago, Peeves even opened a can of herring in Filch's office, and dumped the can on the ground. The smell was...his Mrs. Norris would never go back.
"Bobby, you should get her some sleeping pills."
Professor McGonagall looked at Umbridge who looked like a toad with a dark face, and said coldly, "It's not okay to be woken up again and again."
"Go back and rest, tonight is still very long." Madam Pomfrey said to Umbridge, "I'll get you some sleeping pills, how will everyone sleep by then."
"No, I don't drink that stuff." Umbridge directly refused.
Once, after she finished drinking that thing, she woke up and found that a bunch of cockroaches had been stuffed in her mouth, and she was frightened out of her mind.
Having experienced the experience last time, Umbridge would not want to drink that stuff, for fear that someone would stuff something strange into her mouth again when she was sleepy.
"I still suggest that you go to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries to receive more formal treatment." Professor McGonagall shook his head and walked outside, no longer meeting Umbridge regularly.
That toad face made Professor McGonagall sick to his stomach.
"Professor, over there in Room 11..." Filch hurried to catch up and reminded.
"Room No. 11?"
Professor McGonagall looked at Filch suspiciously. If Filch hadn't come to her just now and said something about Room 11, she would never have come to check what happened.
"Yes." Filch said firmly, "There is someone talking over there. I suspect someone is in classroom eleven."
Professor McGonagall followed Filch towards classroom eleven, and shortly after she knocked lightly on the classroom door, she heard the classroom door being opened from the inside.
"Is there something wrong?"
Firenze's voice sounded inside.
"Professor Firenze, have you seen other students...?" Professor McGonagall stared at another person in the classroom and asked, "Mr. Anderson, what are you doing here in the middle of the night?"
"Professor, I'm talking about astrology with Professor Firenze." Albert raised his eyebrows slightly, obviously he didn't expect to be disturbed by someone, and when he saw Filch behind Professor McGonagall, he probably guessed the reason .
Crystal ball divination has limitations. If you can master the astrology of the centaur, it might not be a bad choice.
After all, divination can indeed bring him a lot of convenience.
"Communication astrology?" Professor McGonagall felt a little ridiculous.
"Astronomy and astrology are conducted at night." Albert explained kindly, "If possible, I actually want to come during the day. By the way, what happened just now, I seem to hear screams."
"Anderson was gifted in astrology."
Firenze was actually very happy that Albert came to talk to him. He didn't have many friends in school, Hagrid was one, but Hagrid seldom came to him.
Firenze didn't do well in school, he didn't have many friends.
Professor McGonagall suddenly didn't know what to say, and finally nodded towards Firenze, and after saying "excuse me", he turned around and left with Filch.
She has also exchanged academic knowledge with Albert, and knowing that it is obviously inappropriate to use the school's school rules at this time, especially after Umbridge's matter, she is even more lazy. "
"Professor, this..."
Filch didn't know what to do, he didn't expect Professor McGonagall to ignore it.
"Don't worry, Firenze will watch him, not to mention Anderson won't make trouble." Professor McGonagall said calmly: "It's not good to disturb others to exchange academic knowledge."
Filch's mouth gradually grew, his eyes became confused, and he chose to pretend he didn't see it, and he didn't care about anything.
Actually, Filch's impression of Albert was not too bad.
Although he always stayed with those two annoying Weasleys, he rarely got himself into trouble, let alone the president of the student union.
Moreover, Professor McGonagall obviously didn't want to care.
"Academic exchange?" Filch shook his head and walked away, "What the hell."
"They're gone," Firenze said.
"Well, it's still early, let's continue!" Albert took out his pocket watch, looked at the time and said.
"It's getting late, let's go back and rest early." Firenze said, "We will continue another day."
"Oh, well, goodbye." After Albert said goodbye to Firenze, he was ready to return to the common room.
"Goodbye, it was a pleasure communicating with you."
Firenze told Albert a lot about the centaurs' discoveries in astrology. To his surprise, Albert's understanding of astrology was not much inferior to that of the centaurs, and sometimes he even put forward unique insights. Give Firenze a sense of what it is.
