After Umbridge passed the Ministry of Magic's Educational Order and became a High Inquisitor, it did not add much deterrence to her among the students at Hogwarts.
In everyone's impression, she is still the jumping toad professor.
Because the impression was so deep, and there were related photos, some students occasionally got too excited (and called themselves "pink toad") and called Umbridge a pink toad.
The outcome is predictable—solitary confinement.
Thus, there were a few more lucky people who had the opportunity to taste Umbridge's punishment quill.
Even though Dumbledore had expressly forbidden professors from using dark magic tools to punish students, he was still ignored by the furious Umbridge.
The innocent principal was caught in the crossfire and received a large number of complaint letters.
In fact, The Daily Prophet received several similar letters every day. "Someone" even deliberately sent shouting letters to the newspaper, but it still did not cause any waves.
The entire British wizarding community reacted rather slowly, or even apathetically, to the Ministry of Magic's interference in Hogwarts' practices. In fact, wizards did not take the educational issues at Hogwarts as seriously as expected.
have no idea
How is that possible!
The Daily Prophet explicitly reported that Umbridge became the Senior Inquisitor, and Lucius Malfoy appeared in the newspaper on behalf of "all parents".
The only dissenting voices came from Wizengamot elders Griselda Marchbank and Tiberius Ogden, who resigned in protest of the appointment of an Inquisitor to Hogwarts.
This matter was even reported in the Daily Prophet, thanks to the importance of the Wizengamot members.
However-
British wizards are indifferent to this matter, even if the educational issues may affect their own children.
Of course, it may also be due to the pressure of life, and they are afraid that if they say one more word, they will be persecuted and expelled from the Ministry of Magic.
Wizards don't give up their respectable jobs at the Ministry of Magic easily.
Albert was equally indifferent to these things and always maintained the attitude of "mind your own business".
As for questions raised by confused students after reading the Daily Prophet, Albert would ask them to write letters back to their families.
Actually, the most amazing thing about the whole thing is that Albert found himself about to become a new member of the Wizengamot.
The Wizengamot naturally has substitute members, but they are not substitutes in public, but substitute places that everyone has reserved privately.
However, Albert is the apparent substitute.
Whenever there was a vacancy in the Wizengamot's membership, Albert would need to fill it.
To this end, Fudge announced that Albert had not yet graduated from school and was unable to fulfill the responsibilities of a Wizengamot member, and was preparing to have his own man take over.
This argument obviously failed to convince the other Wizengamot members.
Fudge, who once again encountered direct protests from Wizengamot members, could only suppress his anger and smile.
When facing this group of elderly people, Fudge did not dare to go too far, because he might stir up a hornet's nest. How could the elderly and high-ranking members of the Wizengamot not have their own tricks
If there really wasn't any, he would have been removed from his position long ago.
You have to know that there are only fifty positions for Wizengamot members. If no one steps down, how can others take over
After a vote by Wizengamot members, no new members will be added for the time being.
Now, everyone is privately saying that Fudge will step down next year. God knows whether Mrs. Marchbank and Mr. Ogden will return to the position of Wizengamot after Fudge leaves the position of Minister of Magic
As for the official substitute member Albert Anderson.
Everyone acknowledged his abilities and were willing to accept Albert as one of them, but Albert was too young and needed someone to help him get familiar with the Wizengamot instead of pushing him into that position all at once.
Shortly after Fudge left the Wizengamot meeting room with a gloomy face, Percy Weasley brought him another bad news.
"Some people predict that I will be ousted before the end of next summer." Fudge growled at Percy with wide eyes.
“A lot of people believed it.”
Percy took out a handkerchief and wiped the saliva off his face, saying helplessly.
Fudge suddenly understood why those old immortals wanted to leave the position vacant.
On 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 coming from inside.
In fact, not only Fudge encountered bad things, but Umbridge, who was far away in Hogwarts, also encountered a lot of troubles.
The position of High Inquisitor did not make Umbridge's operations at Hogwarts smoother. On the contrary, the position brought her a lot of trouble.
A large number of "Defense Express" magazines suddenly appeared in the school, and quickly became popular among students and became a popular publication.
Although Umbridge reacted promptly and banned the Defense Express at lightning speed, she still could not stop the fact that the Defense Express spread wildly in Hogwarts Castle.
Everyone always finds a way to hide things from Umbridge. Could it be possible that students were expelled for reading the Defence Express
Dumbledore is still in Hogwarts!
In order to strengthen their authority, new educational decrees have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
Umbridge's series of actions seemed to completely annoy the students of Hogwarts.
In the days that followed, one Howler letter after another kept being thrown in her face, making Umbridge feel extremely embarrassed.
She had to issue an express ban on Red Howler letters from entering Hogwarts and dispatch wizards from the Ministry of Magic to check the letters received by Hogwarts students.
However, she still couldn't resist the crazy roaring letter.
Owls were borrowed from the Hogwarts Owlery and released directly into the castle at breakfast time, giving the illusion that someone was sending a Howler to Umbridge.
The onslaught of crazy howling letters finally changed completely after Umbridge used magic to brutally kill an owl that delivered the letter.
From then on, no more owls sent Howler letters to Umbridge.
Because these smoking red little cuties seemed to have grown wings and quietly flew into Umbridge's bedroom, bringing unexpected surprises to Umbridge while she was sleeping.
From then on, Umbridge no longer stayed at Hogwarts overnight, but used Floo powder to go home and rest every day to avoid suffering from nervous breakdown.
She now doubted whether she had made the right decision by accepting Fudge's appointment. She had not slept well for several days since she started working at Hogwarts.
However, Umbridge, who had just slept peacefully for a few days, encountered other bad things.
A student secretly told her that there were ghost radios in the common rooms of each college, which would broadcast the Wizard Lookout Station's broadcasts on time every day.
To this end, Umbridge ordered the prefects of each college to confiscate the radios in their respective common rooms and once again banned Hogwarts students from using radios.
However, there are so many wonderful things happening this semester.
The prefects all claimed that they vanished after the ghost radio got wind of the news.
Umbridge felt that the prefects were deliberately trying to put her off, so she decided to search the common rooms of each college herself.
Too bad Umbridge couldn't even get into Ravenclaw House.
Her mind was full of politics, and she had long forgotten the wisdom of Ravenclaw.
For this reason, after learning that Umbridge was once a student of Ravenclaw, a large group of Ravenclaw students tried to expel her from Ravenclaw House. They were unwilling to admit that the idiot was actually from Ravenclaw.
All right!
Many students think that Umbridge is from Slytherin, and she has a good relationship with Slytherin students.
…
"What are you doing huddled 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.
Did the Fat Lady's password really change
Of course not, everyone just didn't want Umbridge in the Gryffindor common room, that's all.
In fact, a similar case also happened in front of the Ravenclaw common room. A large group of people crowded at the entrance, but no one was willing to come forward to answer questions.
“Make way!”
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 in confusion, "Professor, what's the matter?"
"I suspect there are illegal items in the Gryffindor common room and I'm going to go in and check." Umbridge still had a hypocritical smile on her face.
But the smile looked a little stiff.
"Illegal items?" Albert asked in surprise.
"Ask the portrait to open the door. Don't tell me you don't know the password!" Umbridge stared at Albert.
"The password is: Open Sesame!" Albert said without hesitation.
"The password is correct!" The Fat Lady turned and opened the door to the common room.
"Okay, come in. Don't crowd, enter the lounge in an orderly manner!"
Albert was the first to walk into the lounge, but he didn't know who was crowding there. Umbridge, who was not tall to begin with, was pushed aside and even bumped her head against the side of the aisle.
Umbridge got up from the ground in a panic, and glanced at the students who returned to the common room with a frustrated look on her face. However, she was surprised to find that there were no students in the common room, and no one knew where they had gone.
When Albert went downstairs carrying Tom Cat, he found that Umbridge was still there, and the others were lined up in two rows in the lounge.
"What are you doing!" Albert asked with a frown.
"Umbridge thinks we have a radio, and she is investigating..."
"Radio? 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, checked the time and said, "Didn't you tell her that the radio appears and disappears on time every day?"
"We told her! But she just didn't want to believe it." A student blinked at Albert innocently.
"If I were you, I would wait for the radio to appear by itself. If you think it is contraband, you can take it away instead of asking other people for a radio." Albert waved his hand impatiently, and an armchair automatically appeared behind Umbridge. Umbridge, who was about to speak, suddenly felt her legs go weak and she fell into the armchair.
"And you, stop standing here and getting in the way. How can others get back to the dormitory if you do this?" 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 about their own business.
Albert also found a place to sit down and read the books he borrowed from the library.
Fred and George were playing with the cat with a cat teaser, and everyone automatically ignored Umbridge.
At this moment, the broadcast from the wizard lookout station sounded quietly by the fireplace.
Welcome to Wizard Lookout.
The theme of this issue is: How much do you know about pink toads
You mean pink lecher
That is Dolores Umbridge's nickname. According to the information we received some time ago, Dolores Umbridge was turned into a pink toad not long ago.
Oh my god, whose idea is this? Let's applaud him...
Umbridge's face turned an ugly liver color, and she suddenly pulled out her wand, ready to blow up the radio on the fireplace.
However, just as Umbridge was about to cast a spell, she found that her spell was interrupted.
"Don't use dark magic in the common room. There are many students here. It would be bad if it affects other students." Albert closed the book behind the brick, looked at Umbridge who was stunned, and said calmly: "If you think the radio needs to be destroyed, you can take it away and destroy it somewhere empty, but not here. What if your explosive spell accidentally affects other people? And the explosive spell is a more dangerous dark magic. You shouldn't take the lead in using dark magic. This is a bad example."
The next moment, all the students in the common room stood up and applauded and cheered Albert.
Umbridge's face became even uglier. She stared at Albert with murderous eyes, quickly stepped forward to pick up the radio that was still chattering, and threw it to the ground, but the radio was still playing Sirius' voice: Umbridge's favorite lie: My father was an outstanding figure in the Wizengamot. However, Umbridge's father is actually still alive. He was actually working in the Ministry of Magic...
The sound suddenly stopped and everyone stared at the culprit.
Umbridge panted and raised her wand, using a freezing spell to temporarily freeze the radio.
Under the gaze of everyone, Umbridge hurriedly took the radio away.
Everyone felt very sorry about this. They wanted to know Mr. Umbridge's true identity and were curious about what explosive news the Wizard Watch Station was going to reveal about the pink toad.
"Does anyone have a radio?"
Someone in the common room called out, but no one responded.
Everyone was very interested in Umbridge's gossip.
Just as people were sighing and lamenting, a loud explosion suddenly sounded outside. Everyone rushed out of the common room and when they followed the sound, they were shocked to find Umbridge, whose body was charred, being carried on a stretcher.
Apparently, Umbridge tried to destroy the radio.
Then, the radio blew up.
