Chapter 1003： Victimization of public opinion

 Chapter 1003: Victimization of Wind Criticism

 Umbridge's appointment as Senior Inquisitor through the Ministry of Magic's education order did not add much to her deterrence among the students at Hogwarts.

 In everyone’s impression, she is still the jumping toad professor.

Because the impression was so profound and there were related photos, occasionally some students got too excited and called Umbridge a pink toad.

 The outcome can be imagined—imprisonment.

 As a result, there are a few more lucky people who are lucky enough to taste Umbridge's Punishment Quill.

Even though Dumbledore had explicitly prohibited professors from using dark magic items to punish students, he was still ignored by the furious Umbridge.

The innocent principal was shot dead because of this and received a large number of letters of complaint.

In fact, the Daily Prophet receives several similar letters every day, and "someone" even deliberately sends a roaring letter to the newspaper, but it still doesn't surprise anyone.

—

have no idea?

How can it be!

  The Daily Prophet explicitly reported that Umbridge became Senior Inquisitor, and that Lucius Malfoy appeared in the paper on behalf of "all parents".

The only opposition came from the elders of the Wizengamot, Gsilda Marchbain and Tiberus Ogden, who resigned in protest at the appointment of inquisitors to Hogwarts.

 This matter was included in the Daily Prophet thanks to the importance of the members of the Wizengamot.

However-

 British wizards are indifferent to this matter, even if the education issue may involve their own children.

Of course, you may also be forced by life and fear that if you say one more word, you will be persecuted and expelled from the Ministry of Magic.

 Wizards do not give up their respectable jobs at the Ministry of Magic easily.

Albert was equally indifferent to these matters, always adhering to the attitude of "it doesn't matter to him".

 As for questions raised by doubtful students after reading the Daily Prophet, Albert asked them to write letters back to their families.

 Speaking of which, the most amazing thing about the whole thing is that Albert found that he was about to become a new member of the Wizengamot.

The Wizengamot naturally has substitute members, but they are not official substitutes, but substitutes who have been reserved in private.

 However, Albert is a substitute on the surface.

 Once there is a vacancy among the members of the Wizengamot, Albert needs to fill it.

For this reason, Fudge claimed that Albert had not graduated from school and was unable to fulfill his responsibilities as a member of the Wizengamot, and was preparing to put his own people in charge.

This statement obviously failed to convince other Wizengamot members.

Fudge, who once again encountered direct protests from Wizengamot members, could only hold back his anger and smile.

 When facing this group of elderly people, Fudge did not dare to go too far. Because they might stir up a hornet's nest, how could an old and high-ranking member of the Wizengamot not have some tricks of their own?

 If it really wasn’t there, someone would have removed it from its position long ago.

You must know that there are only fifty members of the Wizengamot. If no one steps down, how can others take the position?

 After a vote by the members of the Wizengamot, no new members will be added for the time being.

Now, everyone is whispering that Fudge will step down next year. Who knows whether Mrs. Marchbaan and Mr. Ogden will return to the Wizengamot after Fudge leaves the position of Minister of Magic?

 As for the official replacement member Albert Anderson.

　　Everyone recognizes his ability and is willing to accept Albert as one of them, but Albert is too young and needs someone to lead him to get familiar with the Wizengamot instead of pushing him into that position.

Shortly after Fudge left the Wizengamot meeting room with a dark face, Percy Weasley brought him another bad news.

“Someone predicts that I will be kicked out before the end of next summer.” Fudge growled at Percy with his eyes widened.

 “Many people believed it.”

Percy took out his handkerchief to wipe the drool on his face and said helplessly.

Fudge suddenly understood why those old immortals wanted to leave their positions vacant.

That day, Fudge locked himself in his office, and anyone passing by the Minister of Magic's office could hear the sound of things being smashed inside.

 In fact, not only did Fudge encounter bad things, but Umbridge, who was far away at Hogwarts, also encountered a lot of trouble.

The position of Senior Investigator did not make Umbridge's actions at Hogwarts smoother. On the contrary, the position caused her a lot of trouble.

 A large number of "Defense Express" magazines suddenly appeared in the school, and quickly became popular among students, becoming a popular publication.

Although Umbridge reacted quite promptly and banned "Defense Letters" at lightning speed, it still could not stop the fact that "Defense Letters" spread wildly in Hogwarts Castle.

Everyone can always find a way to hide from Umbridge. Is it possible to expel students for reading "Defense Letters"?

 Dumbledore is still at Hogwarts!

 In order to strengthen their authority, new educational orders sprung up like mushrooms after rain.

Umbridge’s series of actions seemed to completely annoy the students at Hogwarts.

In the following days, one snarling letter after another kept greeting her in the face, making Umbridge extremely embarrassed.

She had to ban the Red Howler letters from entering Hogwarts, and sent wizards from the Ministry of Magic to check the letters received by Hogwarts students.

However, she still couldn't resist the crazy howling letters.

Owls were borrowed from the Owlery at Hogwarts in advance and released directly in the castle during breakfast, creating the illusion that someone was sending a howling letter to Umbridge.

The offensive of crazy howling letters finally changed completely after Umbridge used magic to brutally kill an owl that sent the letter.

From then on, no owl sent any more howling letters to Umbridge.

 Because these smoky red cuties seemed to have grown wings on their own and flew quietly into Umbridge's bedroom, bringing unexpected surprises to Umbridge in her sleep.

At this point, Umbridge no longer stayed at Hogwarts overnight, but used floo powder to go home to rest every day to avoid suffering a nervous breakdown.

 She was now a little doubtful whether she was right to accept Fudge's appointment. She had not slept well for a few days since she took up the post at Hogwarts.

 However, Umbridge, who had just slept peacefully for a few days, encountered other bad things.

　　A student secretly leaked the news to her, saying that ghost radios appeared in the common rooms of various colleges, and broadcasts from the Wizard's Observation Station were played on time every day.

To this end, Umbridge gave an order to the prefects of each house, asking them to confiscate the radios in their respective common rooms, and once again banned the use of radios by students in Hogwarts.

 However, there are many wonderful things this semester.

 The prefects unanimously claimed that the ghost radio disappeared after receiving the wind.

Umbridge felt that her prefects were deliberately perverting her, so she planned to personally search the common rooms of each house.

It's a pity that Umbridge can't even enter Ravenclaw House.

With her head full of politics, she had long forgotten the wisdom of Ravenclaw.

For this reason, after learning that Umbridge was actually a Ravenclaw student, a large group of Ravenclaw students tried to expel her from Ravenclaw House. They did not want to admit that the idiot actually came from Ravenclaw. Crow.

All right!

 Many students know Umbridge as coming from Slytherin, and she has a good relationship with the Slytherin students.

 …

“What are you doing here?”

Albert, who had just returned from the library, walked to the corridor near the Fat Lady's portrait and found that the corridor was crowded with Gryffindor students.

When Albert looked across the crowd and saw Umbridge standing in front of the Fat Lady's portrait, he guessed the reason.

 “The password seems to have been changed.” Lee Jordan winked at Albert.

Has the Fat Lady’s password really been changed?

Of course not, everyone just doesn’t want Umbridge in the Gryffindor common room, that’s all.

 In fact, a similar case happened in front of the Ravenclaw lounge. A large number of people crowded at the entrance, but no one wanted to come forward to answer the question.

 “Give it!”

 Albert pushed through the crowd and walked towards the portrait of the Fat Lady. He glanced at Umbridge who was staring at him and asked doubtfully, "Professor, what's the matter?"

"I suspect there are illegal items in the Gryffindor common room, and I'm going to check it out." Umbridge still had a false smile on her face.

 It’s just that the smile looks a little stiff.

 “Illegal items?” Albert asked pretending to be surprised.

"Let the portrait open the door, and don't tell me you don't know the password!" Umbridge stared at Albert.

“The command is: Open sesame!” Albert said without thinking.

 “The password is correct!” The Fat Lady turned and opened the door of the common room.

 “Okay, let’s go in. Don’t crowd and enter the lounge in an orderly manner!”

Albert walked into the lounge first, but he didn't know who was crowding there. Umbridge, who was not tall at first, was pushed to the side and bumped into the aisle.

Umbridge got up from the ground in embarrassment, glancing at the students returning to the common room with an angry look on her face. However, she was shocked to find that there were no students in the common room, and no one knew where they had gone.

When Albert carried Tom Cat downstairs, he found that Umbridge was still there, and other people were lined up in two rows in the lounge.

 “What the **** are you doing!” Albert asked with a frown.

“Umbridge thinks we have a hidden radio and she’s reviewing it…”

"Radio? Is that the thing that appears by the fireplace on time every day?" Albert put Tom on the armchair, took out his pocket watch from his pocket and looked at the time and said, "You didn't tell her that the radio would be on time every day?" Appear and disappear on time?"

“We said it! But she just doesn’t want to believe it.” A student said, winking at Albert innocently.

"If I were you, I would wait for the radio to appear on its own. If you think it is contraband, take it away instead of asking someone else for a radio." Albert waved his hand impatiently. The armchair automatically appeared behind Umbridge, and Umbridge, who was about to speak, suddenly felt her legs weaken and fell into the armchair.

"And you, don't stand here and get in the way. How can you let others go back to the dormitory?" Albert glanced at the others and said, "Don't you have anything else to do at night?"

After hearing what Albert said, the other students dispersed and went to do their own things.

Albert also found a seat to sit down and read the books borrowed from the library.

Fred and George were teasing the cat with cat sticks, and everyone automatically ignored Umbridge.

At this moment, the announcement from the Wizard's Lookout Station came quietly from the fireplace.

Welcome to Wizards Lookout.

 The theme of this issue is: How much do you know about pink toads.

What do you mean by pink toad?

That is the nickname of Dolores Umbridge. According to the news that this station received a while ago, Dolores Umbridge was turned into a pink toad not long ago.

OMG, whose idea is this? Let’s applaud him...

Umbridge's face turned an ugly pig liver color, and she whipped out her wand, preparing to blow up the radio on the fireplace.

However, just as Umbridge was about to use the spell, she found that her spell was interrupted.

"Don't use dark magic in the common room. There are a lot of students here. It would be bad if it affects other students." Albert closed the book behind the brick, looked at Umbridge with a look of astonishment, and said calmly Say: "If you feel the radio needs to be destroyed, you can take it with you and destroy it somewhere no one is around, but not here. What if your explosive spell accidentally affects someone else? And The explosive spell is a more dangerous form of black magic, and you should not take the lead in using black magic. This is a bad example."

 The next moment, the students in the common room all stood up and applauded Albert.

Umbridge's face turned even darker. She stared at Albert with a murderous look, quickly stepped forward to pick up the radio that was still chattering, and threw it to the ground, but Sirius was still playing on the radio. Voice: Umbridge's favorite lie: My father was a prominent figure in the Wizengamot. However, Umbridge's father is actually still alive. He actually worked at the Ministry of Magic...

The sound suddenly stopped, and everyone stared at the culprit.

Umbridge panted and raised her wand, using the freezing spell to temporarily freeze the radio.

 Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Umbridge hurriedly took away the radio.

Everyone felt very sorry for this. They wanted to know Mr. Umbridge's true identity and were curious about what shocking information the Wizard's Watch Station was about to reveal about the pink toad.

　　“Does any of you have a radio anywhere?”

Someone shouted in the common room, but no one responded.

Everyone is interested in Umbridge's gossip.

Just when people were sighing, there was a loud explosion outside. Everyone rushed out of the common room. When they followed the sound, they were shocked to find that Umbridge, who was completely blackened, was being carried on a stretcher.

Obviously, Umbridge tried to destroy the radio.

 Then the radio blew up.
