Chapter 1079 Unpretentious Happiness

 “Want some? We also left you some shredded potato pancakes.”

The crisp sound of the door opening suddenly sounded in the dormitory. Fred, George and Lee Jordan, who were enjoying late night snacks and chatting away, all turned to look in the direction of the sound, not forgetting to greet Albert with a smile. Come and eat together.

However, for some reason, the voices of the three people gradually dropped, and a breathless low pressure filled the dormitory at some point, making the three people feel panicked.

Noticing Albert's slightly gloomy expression, George asked tentatively: "Are you okay?"

"Um."

Albert took a deep breath, suppressed the irritability in his heart, picked up Tom who was squatting there watching the three of them eat their midnight snack, and gently brushed the soft cat fur a few times.

 The three of them looked at each other, not daring to ask what happened.

They only knew that Albert was hiding in the "Book of Origins" and using a double-sided mirror to secretly contact someone. However, it was not difficult to guess from the expression on Albert's face and the low pressure on his body that this communication was not pleasant.

"Want some? It tastes pretty good. I even got a bottle of ketchup." Fred took out the supper that Dobby had prepared for them tonight from Albert's special thermos box and placed the plate in front of Albert. .

 “I have no appetite, you can eat it yourself!”

Albert pushed the plate back and reached out to touch Tom's soft belly again. Thinking about what had just happened, his mood became even worse. He felt that he might need Isobel's comfort.

“How about some candy, maybe it will make you feel better.” George wiped his hands with a handkerchief, took out a bottle of magic candy from the cabinet and placed it in front of Albert. This is a candy with a joy agent added to it, which can temporarily keep the user in a happy mood.

"Need not."

Albert shook his head and had no intention of using elixirs to relieve his bad mood.

 He continued to pet the cat.

 Perhaps he sensed that his master was not in a particularly good mood, so Tom didn’t resist and just lay there obediently and let Albert **** off.

Of course, it may be simply because Tom is too lazy to move, or he enjoys the process of being jerked off.

"Do you mind if we use the Book of Origins?" Fred asked tentatively.

 “If you don’t mind, give it.”

Albert pushed the metal book that had not been put away in front of Fred, and looked at the backs of the three people hurriedly entering the activity room, and couldn't help but shook his head.

Are you really that scary now?

 He is not a devil.

However, Albert was indeed in a bad mood. From eight o'clock to just now, he had been chatting with the Flamel couple, and also learned that the medicine they stored was about to be exhausted. This is undoubtedly very bad news. The Magic Stone has been destroyed long ago. Once the stored elixir is exhausted, the lives of the two old people will come to an end.

Even though Albert had long expected this day to come, his mood still became very bad after learning that the Flamel couple were about to leave.

To be honest, there are not many people that Albert really cares about. In fact, the relationship between the so-called old friends is not that good. Even if the two parties send each other Christmas gifts and birthday gifts every year, it is just to maintain a superficial relationship. , so that this relationship can be used when needed.

 There are very few old people like the LeMays.

 “It’s so carefree.”

Looking at the fat cat who narrowed his eyes comfortably, Albert sighed softly and murmured: "I wonder what the guy with the same name as you is planning now?"

"Meow!"

Tom called out and rubbed his head on the back of Albert's hand, telling him not to stop.

 “It’s really an extravagance.”

Albert stretched out his hand to hold Tom's forelimbs, picked up the whole cat from the table, then buried his face in his plump belly and rubbed it for a few times, then reached out and pinched the big cat's face and gently pulled it, feeling I felt a lot better immediately.

Although they chatted for a long time just now, they didn't actually talk about much.

 At first, Nico asked about the wedding, and said that he had something to give him, and asked Albert to go to France as soon as possible after the holiday.

Later, Nico asked him if he had divined the wedding, and said that he had seen from the crystal ball that the wedding might be disrupted by a dark wizard, and suggested that Albert reduce the size of the wedding, or even change the wedding venue directly. Put it in their home to ensure that no one will disturb, destroy, or even threaten the lives of the two during the wedding.

Albert knew that this was Nico's good intention, but he still didn't want to disturb the old man's life, and he was not unprepared.

 After learning from Albert about their preparations for the wedding and speculation about the prophecy, the two elderly people breathed a sigh of relief.

Of course they knew that Albert was very powerful, and they also knew that Albert invited Dumbledore as a guarantee for the wedding, but powerful wizards are not invincible, and they may also fall to the enemy's conspiracy and calculations.

After finishing the important talk, Nico Flamel and his wife spent the rest of the time reminiscing about their past events, just like old people who usually like to chatter. After having a qualified listener, they talked more.

Finally, the Flamel couple also hinted at leaving a legacy to Albert. In fact, it is not a legacy, but some research materials that Albert is interested in, which are the results accumulated by the old man over a long period of time.

The Flamel couple finally decided that rather than leaving their life's work to eat ashes in the library of Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, it would be better to give it to Albert, his favorite disciple, so that this part of the knowledge could continue.

To be honest, Albert did want those things, but... the way to obtain them made him feel quite complicated.

Perhaps, for old people who have lived for a long time, death is just another great adventure, and they are not alone.

However, for Albert, death was not a pleasant topic.

 He is too young.

 Even if he can get a rich inheritance from it.

This depressed mood lasted for several days, so much so that Fred, George and Lee Jordan thought the sky was falling.

Even others can clearly feel that Albert is in a bad mood

In order to make Albert happy, Fred, George and Lee Jordan tried different ways to make him happy. Perhaps with the guidance of the girls, the tricks of the three became more interesting, and one time they even turned into three. Canary, tap dancing side by side.

 The three people's methods did not improve Albert's mood, but they succeeded in making the joke props more popular with everyone.

until…

"Are you finally back to normal?" George looked at Albert, who was breathing calmly, and couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.

 “Return to normal?” Albert asked doubtfully.

"It's nothing. You seemed to be in a...well, not very good mood the past few days." Fred carefully considered his words. He felt that Albert had been surrounded by low pressure a while ago, making them feel extremely depressed.

 “Well, some not-so-good things.”

Albert still didn't plan to reveal too much news to them, and continued to eat breakfast on his own.

At this moment, a student suddenly ran into the hall shouting, ignoring the professors' gazes and shouted to everyone: "Toad, the toad is back."

Everyone rushed towards the foyer, wanting to watch the legendary Umbridge. This was a true warrior. He encountered so many dangers and setbacks during his tenure, but still insisted on teaching on the front line, instead of Resign and run away.

A large number of whispers sounded in the foyer, and it was not known who was taking the lead in applauding, but bursts of warm applause and whistles rang out.

 Being welcomed by so many students, Umbridge didn't have much of a smile on her face, but instead became more gloomy. She knew very well that the students at Hogwarts would never welcome her, and the warm applause just now was more like a mockery of him.

The only person here who really welcomed her back was probably Filch. The administrator had regained his composure, holding a whip to try to disperse the students who came to watch, and enthusiastically stepped forward to help with the luggage.

Under the gaze of countless students, Umbridge walked into the foyer and found that the toad statue was placed there without even a piece of cloth covering it.

This made the expression on Umbridge's face become even more gloomy.

Everyone heard a popping sound. Someone threw a big dung bomb, which hit the toad statue directly on the face.

Umbridge's face froze, as if a dung bomb had hit her in the face.

 This is a naked provocation.

Before Umbridge could recover, more dung bombs hit the toad statue in the face.

Among them, a large dung bomb accidentally hit Umbridge in the face.

Just when everyone was dumbfounded, a burst of weird laughter suddenly sounded in the foyer. Peeves was floating in the air, tossing the dung bombs in his hands like a juggler, and amidst the applause of the students, he threw away the remaining few A dung bomb was thrown at Umbridge.

After all the dung bombs hit the new headmaster's head, Peeves disappeared amid a burst of laughter, as if he had just appeared just to say hello.

Umbridge was so angry that she couldn't do anything about Peeves. Even if she wanted to find someone to vent her anger, she couldn't because the other students around them immediately left after seeing this, for fear of becoming a new The principal's punching bag.

Umbridge could only return to the Defense Against the Dark Arts office angrily, and Filch followed behind, dragging his luggage, looking like he was hesitant to speak.

 When Umbridge was about to open the door, Filch finally couldn't help but said, "Madam, are you really planning to continue..."

 “Is there any problem? Ag…”

When Umbridge opened the door, she stepped directly into the muddy swamp. Her whole body instantly lost her balance and fell directly into the swamp, like a toad lying in the swamp.

If Lee Jordan were here, he would definitely not miss this opportunity to take more photos of Umbridge.

"Ma'am, are you okay?" Filch asked worriedly, "I thought you remembered..."

The swamp is not deep, but Umbridge still encountered a lot of trouble when she was stuck in it. The large amount of sewage and mud almost made her suffocate. Umbridge kept rolling and struggling like a drowned toad.

In the end, Filch went in and fished her out, and both of them were covered in mud.

 “Damn, damn, all deserve to die…”

Umbridge continued to curse and dragged her body with her face covered in dirt to the professors' bathroom, leaving behind a row of muddy footprints on the ground and Filch who was staring at the muddy footprints in a daze.

 “How long will it take me to clean this place up,” Filch muttered.

There is no doubt that it is no longer suitable to continue to be used as a Defense Against the Dark Arts office. Fortunately, there are still many empty rooms in Hogwarts Castle that can be used as offices.

With Filch's help, Umbridge changed her office. Since she was the principal, she had the final say in everything, so she naturally chose the best office for herself.

the next morning,

 Umbridge had just returned to her Hogwarts office through the fireplace when she discovered that someone had thrown a dung bomb into her office. Her face was so angry that she was twisted.

However, what surprised Umbridge even more was that the moment she opened the door to the office, she was stunned by the sight in front of her.

 The corridor outside the office turned into a swamp overnight.

If it hadn't been for the big loss yesterday, Umbridge would have opened the door first to see what was going on on the other side. I'm afraid she would have stepped into the swamp and fallen down.

 There was even a disgusting stench in the air, which almost made her vomit.

However, what made Umbridge even more angry and trembling was that there was a wooden board stuck at the door of the office, with a photo of Umbridge in human form and the following sentence: The Anti-Toad Alliance is here for you Sending you the highest respect.

"ah-!"

Umbridge trembled all over and finally screamed in rage.

With a bang, the door of the Defense Against Dark Arts office was slammed shut.

 Umbridge opened the window and walked back and forth in the office, constantly uttering various unexplained curses.

　　It is simply too much to deceive others.

While at St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Maladies, Umbridge thought about various possibilities and had various fantasies. However, on her first day back at school, the cruel reality slapped her hard.

If Umbridge carefully recalled all the bad things she had done, she would not feel that this was too much. But it is obviously very difficult to make Umbridge realize this, because people have double standards, and it is even more difficult to make people like Umbridge realize this.

Many members of the anti-toad alliance were extremely excited about this. Some people did not even go to class and hid near the corridor to see how the toad would react when they discovered that the outside of the office had turned into a swamp.

Everyone is happy to see their new principal misfortune, but who told her to continue to come back to serve and persecute the students of Hogwarts? So don't blame them for fighting back?

 “Umbridge’s misfortune is my happiness!”

This sentence undoubtedly reflects the current mentality of the students at Hogwarts.

Watching Umbridge be unlucky again and again always arouses joy in their hearts.

 Even Albert felt that his mood had improved significantly.

 Happiness is sometimes so simple and unpretentious.
