Chapter 1083 Uncontrolled situation
The next morning, the castle hall of Hogwarts was extremely lively, and everyone was whispering about last night's "Toad Mark". People also found words like "Anti-Toad League" graffitied on the walls near the foyer, which directly ignited people's curiosity.
Many students thought that Fred and George did it. They were also shocked by the twins' audacity, but they were all secretly pleased. Because Fred and George did something they had never dared to do, a lot of people were eager to throw themselves into the confrontation with Umbridge, and although they were still only talking about it, people were still keen to discuss these things.
Some students tried to get more detailed information from Albert. They even speculated that Albert might also be involved. Otherwise, where would Fred and George have the courage and confidence to confront Umbridge?
Actually, as long as you have a normal mind, you can guess it with your knees.
Take the toad statue at the entrance of the foyer as an example. Even the curse-breaking team of the Ministry of Magic couldn't destroy or remove it with all their brains. It was obviously not something that Fred and George could do. It could only be Albert, and it could only be him, because the professors in the school obviously wouldn't do this kind of thing.
What surprised everyone the most was that the school didn't respond much to this, and Umbridge miraculously skipped all Defense Against the Dark Arts classes in the morning.
Later everyone knew the reason.
It turned out that Umbridge was hanged upside down on the Quidditch pitch with a spell last night and blew in the wind all night. In the end, Snape went to rescue her himself. Now their new headmaster is in the school hospital lie down.
This is undoubtedly a provocation to Umbridge.
To add to everyone's excitement, the Quidditch field also had the vulgar words "Umbridge eats shit" written in 5-foot-long letters.
And their administrator, Mr., is also worried about the graffiti on the wall. Even Mrs. Skoll's all-purpose magic stain remover can't completely clean up those **** graffiti.
This small victory angered Umbridge, and Ginny and Ron were immediately called by Umbridge for questioning.
On the same day, Umbridge also suddenly led people into the Gryffindor common room, raided Albert's dormitory, and tried to catch Fred and George on the spot.
However, Umbridge was doomed to gain nothing, because Fred and George's lockers were already empty, as if they had really dropped out of school early.
"You are very rude, at least knock on the door before entering."
Albert moved his chess piece to checkmate Lee Jordan before he raised his head and looked at the group of people pouring into the room, his tone as if he was teaching a group of children who were not polite.
"What about them?" Umbridge asked angrily.
"Who knows? Maybe he moved away overnight." Albert bent over and picked up Tom, and walked outside, "If you want to search, please do so, but don't break my things, otherwise... I haven't thought about it yet. good."
"I really don't understand what you are doing?" Lee Jordan raised his hand and tapped his head, sarcastically, "Fred and George are not fools, how could they wait for you to arrest people?"
The two left the dormitory under the glaring gaze of the investigation team, but there were more people glaring at the investigation team.
No way, whoever asked the Slytherin investigation team to go to the Gryffindor common room would naturally arouse Gryffindor students' glaring and dissatisfaction. When they were smug Slytherins, everyone still wanted to kill them.
Search?
This is just a step up. Only idiots do that. They deliberately mess up other people's rooms. Do you think Albert has no temper?
Umbridge just looked it over carefully, and after confirming that Fred and George had moved out, he turned and left angrily.
"The temper is really bad." Albert looked at the back of the group of people leaving, and said to himself.
"I feel half angry at you."
After everyone else left, a familiar voice suddenly came from the side.
"Nonsense, I'm angry with her for what she did. It's obviously because of her poor upbringing." Albert returned to the room with the cat in his arms, and soon heard a sound from the stairs.
The anger accumulated in the hearts of the Gryffindor students finally erupted when Umbridge and his group were about to leave. It is unknown who attacked the investigation team and made Goyle's toenails grow wildly.
This directly ignited the conflict between the two sides. In the melee, the members of the investigation operation team naturally lost to the Gryffindor students, and were knocked down by a group of people using the stun spell.
Thanks to meeting with DA, many students have mastered common dueling spells such as Iron Armor Curse and Stunning Curse.
"It's unlucky, they must have caused me to lose to Albert." Lee Jordan kicked Montague's **** and complained.
"Don't make excuses for yourself, unless Albert is playing the whole game, you can't win." Angelina complained.
"How to say, you know?"
He bent down to pick up the wand on the ground, and looked at the students participating in the brawl.
"Know."
"Then throw them out, lest they stay here to be an eyesore."
This group of guys covered in footprints was eventually thrown out from the entrance of the Gryffindor common room by everyone, like throwing large garbage.
When people were celebrating their victory against the toad again, Professor McGonagall rushed into the common room angrily and asked them what the **** they were doing.
Everyone pretended they didn't know anything, didn't hear anything, as if they didn't know what happened from the beginning to the end.
"Professor, I was in the dormitory to appease the disturbed cat," Albert said helplessly that he was not there at the time, otherwise he would have come out to stop the atrocity.
As for the cause of the conflict, everyone said that the investigation team was the first to attack Ron with a spell, which caused the chaos. "
"Yes, yes, yes."
Everyone echoed one after another. Anyway, it was the investigative action team who made the first move, and Professor McGonagall was so angry that he turned around and left.
"You can't fool Umbridge like this."
Just like what Professor McGonagall said, Umbridge didn't like this at all. When she got over her strength, she waved her hand and locked up all the students who participated in the brawl, even though many students claimed that they were not at all. At the scene, he still couldn't escape the fate of being locked up, and in the end he could only accept Umbridge's punishment on an empty stomach.
Of course, except for Albert.
Because he ignored Umbridge at all. Although such ignorance made Umbridge very angry, Toad finally endured it temporarily, because the things she could rely on had no deterrent effect in front of Albert. There is nothing to do with Albert.
Unless the two sides fell out completely, but Umbridge didn't want to do that.
This matter was naturally not so easy to end. In the next few days, new changes appeared in Hogwarts. When everyone went downstairs for dinner, they found that there were two paintings of a toad licking the **** of a Slytherin snake and Fudge kneeling and licking a mysterious man’s **** respectively pasted on the oak door of the auditorium. Umbridge trembled all over, and immediately dispatched an investigative team to scour the castle for the whereabouts of the Weasley brothers.
The Weasley brothers, who were searching hard by the investigative operation team, are sitting in the Gryffindor common room at the moment, selling joke props, while bragging to people about their deeds against Umbridge, and successfully received a shipment. Waves of adoring gaze.
"Toad does have people patrolling at night."
"However, the only thing she can rely on now is Filch. She is the worst principal I have ever seen."
"No, she's not even the principal."
As for Filch, everyone knows his situation. Although that guy does know a lot of secret ways, as a squib, he is destined not to be a match for the wizard, so we used a little trick to trick Filch Go round and round.
Umbridge didn't dare to get up to patrol at night, so he didn't have to worry about being caught when he went out at night.
"Are you still in school?"
Seeing Fred and George selling joke props in the common room, Harry, Ron and Hermione were very surprised. They thought the Weasley brothers had quietly left Hogwarts.
"Why are we leaving?" Fred and George asked in unison.
"Mom is going crazy, she's looking for you everywhere." Ron almost threw the envelope in his robe pocket in the face of the twin brothers, and he said gloomily, "She also blamed me for not stopping you from leaving."
"Don't worry, we just wrote to mother to clarify the matter." Fred comforted.
"Those guys are looking for you like crazy," Harry reminded.
"They can't find it."
"Where are you hiding, is there a Room of Requirement?" Hermione asked curiously
"no."
Fred and George noticed that the other students around them were all ears eavesdropping, and said with a smile: "Albert has a house in Hogsmeade, we can go back to Hogwarts to fight the toad at any time."
"Now there is always a need for someone to stand up and hold back Toad's experience, so that she has no other thoughts to do things. Anyway, don't we really need N.E.w.Ts certificates?"
"But…"
"Don't be silly Hermione, if we don't stand up and delay Toad's time and energy, do you really think she will let Harry go easily?" Fred snorted at this, "That guy really wants to fire Leigh, kick him out of Hogwarts."
"Fred was right, Toad did want to do that all the time." Harry admitted as much, believing Umbridge had been trying to silence him, discredit him, and kick him out of school.
"What are you going to do."
"Ai...cough, we hope to call on more people to drive out the toad together." George coughed lightly.
"Our ultimate goal is to unite students from the other three houses to expel Umbridge from Hogwarts." Fred continued to tell everyone about his grand plan, "Umbridge will also be the first A professor expelled from Hogwarts will become a celebrity in "Hogwarts, a School History", but it is difficult to succeed."
Because many of them are used to being neutral.
"We should go to Albert, he can definitely do it."
So, a group of people ran to find Albert, and by the way, talked about the fact that Umbridge had just left.
"Unfortunately, I can't do it. In fact, even Dumbledore may find it difficult to do it." Albert was not affected by their passionate emotions, but gave them some advice, "You can resist them together , Use the reputation of Fred and George, or the reputation of the Anti-Toad Alliance, let Fred and George teach you, he is better at these things, and knows better how to deal with the investigation operation and the toad."
It only took a few days, and the investigation team was sent to the school hospital one after another. Even Umbridge was beaten up by unknown people, his face was swollen. Such atrocities directly shocked the whole Huo gwartz.
The Ministry of Magic urgently intervened in the investigation, but still found nothing, as if the so-called riots at Hogwarts did not exist at all. The Fred and George they suspected were not in Hogwarts at all, at least there was no one in the Room of Requirement. If Fred and George were really hiding in it, no one else could get in at all.
As for Hogsmeade, the Ministry of Magic did send people to search Hogsmeade village, trying to find Fred and George's hiding place, but they never found the legendary house.
"Didn't you have someone search Hogsmeade? Why do you still ask me?" Facing Umbridge who ran up to him with a murderous look, Albert said calmly: "And you actually believe Don't you think it's ridiculous to come to ask me about such nonsense?"
Fred and George have actually been at Hogwarts all along, in the dormitory where Albert originally lived. It's just that they are living in the suitcase prepared by Albert, using the laboratory inside to try to make more joke props, preparing for the upcoming store opening, and by the way, they can sell them at a reduced price at Hogwarts. While gaining his fame, he could also bring some troubles to Umbridge.
For this reason, Umbridge also arranged for a reporter from the "Daily Prophet" to appear at Hogwarts to interview the Slytherin students, trying to discredit Fred and George as vicious students.
However, the ambitious reporter failed in the end, because Fudge didn't dare to let the report go. He had to hide the real situation of Hogwarts as soon as possible, so as to avoid the complete exposure of Umbridge's bad things. They can only send a task force to patrol the castle in order to restore peace to Hogwarts. Of course, that is only a weapon on the surface, just to deter those students, so that they will not continue to play mischievous things to Umbridge trouble.
This "elite" task force from the Ministry of Magic isn't elite at all.
The content of the education order in the foyer the next day was tampered with at some point, and the photo of Umbridge transforming into a toad was even enlarged and hung in the hall for people to appreciate.
At the same time, Hogwarts began to circulate a new version of "Guide to Anti-Toad" privately. Fred and George privately taught everyone how to avoid punishment or reduce punishment when resisting Umbridge. "Guide to Anti-Toad" quickly became a must-have for Hogwarts students, since fighting Umbridge is everyone's responsibility.
