The incident in which Umbridge turned into a pink toad in public made her a complete laughing stock at Hogwarts.
Students at the school always get together to discuss who sent those insulting and cursing letters to Umbridge.
However, as a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, she was actually tricked by a prank trap, which makes people question Umbridge's ability.
Ever since the pink toad incident, whenever Umbridge passed through the corridor, she could always hear the whispers of the students around her.
In particular, not long ago, a daring Gryffindor student took the photo he picked up last time, pointed at Umbridge's departing back, and successfully won Umbridge's detention package.
After trembling and tearing up the photo, Umbridge realized that Hogwarts students might have photos of her hidden in their schoolbags.
In an effort to save her image, Umbridge passed an Educational Order prohibiting any student at Hogwarts from possessing any picture of her.
Thus was born one of the most bizarre educational orders in history.
Everyone was surprised how the Ministry of Magic could successfully pass such an educational order.
However, Umbridge still could not redeem her image, and all the students in the school were impressed by the impression that "Umbridge was a pink toad".
Umbridge hates the guy who turned her into a pink toad, and has identified several suspects: Albert Anderson, Harry Potter and Albus Dumbledore.
The reason why Albert is the number one suspect is that there are not many wizards who can play a prank on her through letters, and Albert happens to have this ability. Moreover, all the seventh-year Gryffindors gave up the Defense Against the Dark Arts class collectively, and Umbridge didn't believe that it had nothing to do with Albert.
Harry Potter was the one who hated her the most, and Umbridge knew this very well. Umbridge was not surprised at all that Harry Potter wanted to take revenge on her, but Harry Potter did not have the ability to do so, although it could not be ruled out that he would ask someone for help.
Dumbledore was the least likely candidate, but Umbridge believed that the headmaster had seen through her thoughts and might try to stop her from gradually taking control of the school.
Of course, Umbridge didn't mind getting rid of all three of them at once!
Unfortunately, she can't get what she wants now.
After Umbridge became a laughing stock, her prestige in Hogwarts was rapidly declining, and no one really took her seriously anymore. What was worse was that the last incident had set a bad precedent, and every day owl letters flew into the hall, sending out all kinds of vulgar words insulting Umbridge.
Someone even secretly cast a Confusion Charm on Umbridge, causing her to turn the wrong way and bump her head into the door frame when entering the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom, and finally confuse the content of the class.
Everyone blamed Umbridge's misfortunes on the curse of the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, and even started discussing when she would resign, which made Umbridge extremely angry.
Umbridge knew she had to reassert her authority at Hogwarts, or the pranks directed at her would never stop.
Especially after being turned into a pink toad, Umbridge could clearly feel that the students' awe of her had greatly decreased, which was not good news.
Once she loses her fear, her titles of professor and Deputy Minister of Magic will lose their deterrent effect. No one will take her seriously and more pranks will be thrown at her.
Umbridge had to contact Fudge and advance the original plan of the senior investigator. In order to help her take control of Hogwarts, Fudge had agreed to cooperate with her to issue educational orders and eliminate several Hogwarts professors and replace them with his own people.
Umbridge began to feel that she was powerless on her own. She needed some help to control Hogwarts and more assistants to help suppress the rebellion of Hogwarts students.
Find out those students who dare to provoke her and play pranks on her and make them regret it for the rest of their lives.
The Ministry of Magic passed the Education Act and issued a new Education Order, making Umbridge the senior investigative officer of Hogwarts.
This major news appeared on the front page of the Daily Prophet at the first opportunity and was supported by the successful man Lucius Malfoy.
In addition to Malfoy, there are several "noble" pure-blood wizards who welcome the Ministry of Magic's education reform. However, the strange thing is that these guys seem to be Death Eaters who escaped the last wizard war.
It is said that Sirius laughed out loud when he saw the newspaper, and seemed ready to publicly talk about the Ministry of Magic's education reforms being strongly supported by the Death Eaters in the latest edition of Defence Express.
"You don't seem surprised at all?"
George put down the newspaper and looked at Albert who was flipping through a brick book beside him.
"That's normal. Umbridge's power comes from the Ministry of Magic, not her own strength." Albert said indifferently, "Now Umbridge has become a laughing stock in Hogwarts. If she wants to try to reverse all this, she must adopt a high-pressure policy on the students of Hogwarts, first shut them up, then subdue them in order to demonstrate the authority of the Ministry of Magic and regain the initiative."
"You don't seem to care."
George was acutely aware that Albert seemed happy to see this happen.
"Perhaps, Umbridge will be cursed like Lockhart tomorrow and will be confined to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries forever." Albert said these confusing words without even raising his head.
If Albert wanted, Umbridge could easily have accidentally thrown herself into St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries because of the curse cast by the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.
"Is Umbridge really going to throw herself into hospital tomorrow?" George asked in a low voice.
"That's the source of everyone's joy." Albert slowly turned the pages of the book and said slowly, "I won't make myself boring and disturb everyone's rare joy."
"Do you think Umbridge will succeed?" Fred interrupted.
"It's difficult, but I look forward to her doing that." Albert's mouth curled up slightly, "Umbridge will definitely try to strengthen her control over Hogwarts. I think she will probably expel a few professors to strengthen her authority."
"Who do you think Umbridge will fire?" Hermione appeared from nowhere, holding a copy of the Daily Prophet, and had obviously read the headlines in the newspaper.
"Didn't you guess it?" Albert took the newspaper from Fred.
"Hagrid?"
Hermione looked up at Umbridge, who was eating cautiously in the teacher's seat, with an undisguised look of disgust on her face.
This is actually not difficult to guess, because the Ministry of Magic has clearly expressed its ill will towards Hagrid in the Daily Prophet.
"Yes, everyone knows that Hagrid is a loyal supporter of Professor Dumbledore. If the Ministry of Magic is going to cause trouble for Dumbledore, it is undoubtedly a good idea to start with the people around him." Albert closed the newspaper and put it aside, speculating, "However, Hagrid is not in school, so the first professor to be expelled will most likely be Professor Sybill Trelawney of Divination."
Fred and George looked at each other and said in unison: "Old liar."
"That makes sense. The old liar's tricks probably won't fool Umbridge. He will most likely become a target for Umbridge to establish her authority." Lee Jordan also felt that this possibility was very high. He was going to spread the news that Umbridge was going to fire the old liar to give Professor Dumbledore a warning.
Some things are pointed out by others before they are done. No matter whether the content is true or not, everyone will have a preconceived tendency. No matter how Umbridge explains, it is useless. Everyone will think that Umbridge is deliberately making trouble to intimidate Professor Dumbledore.
"What prophecy do you think is appropriate for the old liar?"
George obviously also intended to make things difficult for Umbridge. They had been doing this kind of thing frequently recently, and they were becoming more and more skilled at it, so it was not easy for them to leave any loopholes.
"Dismissed by Umbridge," Albert surmised.
"That's really wonderful. The old liar predicted that she would be expelled. If she is expelled by Umbridge, doesn't it mean that her prediction has come true?" Fred's eyes lit up and he asked curiously, "What do you think Umbridge will choose?"
"Professor Trelawney will probably be expelled." Albert was not surprised at all that Umbridge targeted Professor Trelawney, "But Professor Trelawney should not be expelled from the castle."
"Is this your prophecy?" Hermione looked at Albert in surprise.
"No, that's just my guess."
Albert believed that Professor Dumbledore would not let Professor Trelawney leave Hogwarts because she made the prophecy about Voldemort.
"By the way, don't you really want to think about that?" Hermione asked in a low voice.
"I really don't have time." Albert refused again, "You can ask Professor Black or Lupin for experience. If it's about grades, those notes should allow you to get good grades after studying them."
"Then... can you give us some advice then?" Hermione was a little disappointed. She actually hoped that Albert could teach them Defense Against the Dark Arts himself.
As long as Albert is around, many students will join clubs, like the Defense Association last time.
"Well... we'll see what happens then!"
Albert did not agree immediately. He felt that it would be more than enough to let Fred and George teach them Defense Against the Dark Arts, but that would obviously be a hindrance to Potter's business.
Savior Porter also needs a group of supporters.
"Hermione is very ambitious. She seems to want to organize everyone." George said as he watched Hermione leave. "Reorganize the Defense Association to fight against Umbridge."
"Well, she must have been mad at Umbridge." Albert shrugged and said, "Where there is oppression, there is resistance."
"I think this is worth a try." Fred interrupted, "It should be able to win over more people to fight against Umbridge."
"Let them do it themselves." Albert said disapprovingly, "When the time comes, give them my new book on Defense Against the Dark Arts. It contains a lot of practical magic."
"Who's going to teach them?" Fred asked oddly.
"It can't be us!" George added.
"Isn't there still Harry Potter?" Albert reminded.
"I always feel like you're trying to trick Harry," Fred muttered.
"Why would I trick Potter?"
"You're a wicked fellow," muttered Lee Jordan.
"What do you think we should do about the old liar?" George quickly brought the subject back.
"It's simple. Just let Trelawney know that she will be expelled." Albert said without hesitation: "Let her also predict that Umbridge will be kicked out of Hogwarts in disgrace, and predict that Umbridge will die in Azkaban prison."
"As long as the three prophecies come true one by one, I think the expression on Umbridge's face will be very interesting!" Fred had a new understanding of Albert's methods, "Besides, these prophecies are bound to happen."
"Will Umbridge really go to Azkaban prison?" George was more concerned about this question.
"Yes, she will probably go in after the mysterious man falls." Albert said calmly.
"She supports You-Know-Who?"
The three were very surprised, but soon felt relieved. Umbridge was undoubtedly not a good person. According to Albert's prediction, the Ministry of Magic would collapse in a few years, and the You-Know-Who would control the Ministry by then. It didn't seem strange for Umbridge to join the You-Know-Who.
Of course, George was more concerned about Albert's prophecy that the mysterious man would fail than Umbridge being imprisoned in Azkaban.
This is undoubtedly good news.
When they left the hall, they found that the administrator Filch was hanging the new educational order on the bulletin board, and everyone was pointing and talking.
"It is forbidden for boys and girls to be closer than six inches from each other?" Li Jordan said with a strange expression, "Are you sure it's not because you have been single for too long and can't stand seeing others fall in love?"
"The other one is even more ridiculous. They even banned exploding candies?" Fred complained. "Why should I be banned from eating candies?"
"Could it be that she lost a tooth due to the exploding bonbon?"
In fact, they didn't know that the ban on exploding gummies was entirely due to Peeves' fault. This guy used Albert's specially made exploding gummies and almost blew Umbridge up to the sky.
Looking at the educational order on the notice wall, everyone knew that Hogwarts had changed, become extremely ridiculous, and the one who brought these changes was the woman named Umbridge.
"I have a feeling that this place will soon be filled with educational orders from the Ministry of Magic." Albert said calmly, "Perhaps, there won't be enough space on this wall by then."
"This is really outrageous. I must take a picture of it and make it into a wizard card," muttered Lee Jordan.
After the few people left, Fred, George and Lee Jordan were discussing whether to find an opportunity to destroy those education orders.
"It's useless. She can just let Filch hang up again when the time comes." Albert shook his head and rejected the three people's unreliable plan. "Besides, we need to let everyone feel the pressure. When everyone hates her and resists her, Hogwarts will usher in the happiest era in history. However, you can put more pressure on her and speed up the issuance of the Ministry of Magic's Education Order."
"You can pay Mundungus Fletcher to find various people to send Howlers to Umbridge," Albert said casually. "You can set aside a sum of money specifically for Umbridge, and use it to show off your joke props. That will definitely be more effective than any advertisement."
"That's a good idea. Maybe Pink Toad will issue an educational order to ban Red Howler letters."
The three of them were extremely excited, especially when Albert helped them come up with ideas, their plans always went particularly smoothly.
Thanks to Albert's help, a strange vomit gummy soon appeared in Hogwarts. The gummy bear looked like Umbridge with a toad on her head.
As soon as you eat it, you will immediately have a strong urge to retch.
For a time, this kind of gummy candy was surprisingly popular among Hogwarts students.
As a result, Umbridge often saw many students retching on the ground, whether on the road or in the classroom. She even interviewed several junior students, but still could not find the specific reason.
As a result, Hogwarts soon issued a new educational order: students were prohibited from retching in the corridors or anywhere else.
Very weird!
But Fred, George and Lee Jordan laughed even more happily when they saw the new education order!
"How do you think we should get Umbridge to ban Defense Express and Wizard Watch?"
"That's easy. We can find someone to tell Umbridge about it."
"Everyone needs a shared secret!"
"Umbridge will be suspicious and searching around, and it will definitely be interesting."
"Students who possess the Defense Express magazine will be expelled?"
"If we put a copy of Defense Express in a Slytherin student's backpack, how will Umbridge deal with it then?"
"Detention? Expulsion?"
"Probably just pretend detentions. Umbridge is trying to win over the Slytherins."
"It's good to be unfair, it makes it more interesting."
