Albert was not too surprised after listening to the three people talking about the whole process of the establishment of "DA". Both Harry and Hermione were influenced by him and became much more mature than in the original book. In addition, Umbridge and the Ministry of Magic successfully aroused enough hatred among everyone. It was believed that "DA" would be able to play a greater role and teach more students who were good at Defense Against the Dark Arts.
The only thing that surprised Albert was how much importance Hermione took the Self-Defense Guide.
To be honest, "Self-Defense Guide" was the first manuscript written by Albert. After he made further progress in Defense against the Dark Arts, he revised the manuscript.
Isobel is still helping to organize it now, and the "Self-Defense Guide" was actually modified based on those abandoned manuscripts at Isobel's suggestion. In Isobel's own words: This is for people to see.
"Wizard Card Club is going to be suspended?"
Lee Jordan was troubled when he heard Albert's words. Although he had expected this day to come, he didn't expect it to come so early. It had only been less than a month since the start of school!
"Anyway, the game has ended successfully."
Albert didn't care at all about the suspension of the Wizard Card Club. It was all Toad's fault anyway, so if he wanted to complain, he could go to Umbridge.
Yes, it was all Umbridge's fault.
Albert was slowly helping Umbridge build up her hatred. He was actually very curious about when the students of Hogwarts would be unable to withstand Umbridge's oppression and would completely explode in silence.
"I thought you would tamper with Toad's memory." Fred and George both had some differences. They knew that Albert would definitely not mind doing something bad to Umbridge.
"Do you really think Toad will give in so easily?"
"You mean..."
"Umbridge is a typical example of someone who can bully you." Albert sneered, "As someone who stands at the top of the law, whatever they say is right. They can easily find a bunch of excuses to cause trouble for you. So when dealing with these people, don't reason with them. You should play to your strengths, and our strengths are..."
"What is it?" All three of them widened their eyes.
"Our fists are harder than Umbridge's, so we have the final say." Albert turned the pages of the book and said calmly, "When she is unreasonable, we can use our fists to make her follow our principles."
The three of them looked at each other, finding this statement very novel. Umbridge was undoubtedly not someone who was willing to reason, but they were not someone who could be bullied.
"You can't go too far in tampering with the memory, otherwise it will easily leave loopholes." Albert continued to flip through the book in his hand.
The mission of the "reading maniac" is almost completed.
To be honest, he didn't have high expectations for the reward of this mission.
The books I have read in these years are obviously more than the rewards for being a reading maniac, but it took seven years after all, and I always feel like I'm losing out if I don't get the rewards for the quests.
"What do you think we should do?" George muttered.
"Toad is simply too idle, so he has the time and energy to cause trouble for everyone." Albert looked at Tom who came over and sat on a book, stretched out his hand to scratch the fat cat's chin, and said to the three people, "You can find something for her to do to keep her busy."
The trio who loved to stir up trouble looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
Dumbledore is still in school, so some things shouldn't be taken too far.
"By the way, what about the DA's base?"
George thought about the problems encountered at the party. He felt that the Room of Requirement was a suitable venue for the party, but he needed to discuss it with Albert in advance, as it was their common secret base.
"Then find a chance to tell Potter about the Room of Requirement."
"May I?"
The three of them had some differences, but they didn’t expect Albert to agree.
"We're going to graduate soon anyway." Albert stared at Tom who was yawning and said indifferently, "I guess we won't have the chance to use the Room of Requirement in the future."
"I thought you'd find them another place." Fred knew that Albert was still using the Room of Requirement.
"I can't think of a better place than the Room of Requirement."
Albert picked up Tom from the book, put him back in his cat bed, pinched his cheek, sat back in his chair, and continued reading.
If the Room of Requirement is not open to DA members, the three of them really don't know what to do.
After entering October, the temperature around Hogwarts dropped rapidly, and most wizards were forced to put on thick cloaks.
However, no one knows what is hidden under their cloaks.
Ever since Fred and George started to cause trouble for Umbridge, her temper became more and more violent, and her methods became more and more brutal. She wanted to suppress all the disturbances in the school, but the number of pranks against her increased.
Umbridge's mood was as gloomy as the sky, and she could no longer maintain the fake smile on her face.
There was nothing we could do about it, since the door of the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom was often tampered with. Worse still, someone even threw a stink bomb into the classroom, causing chaos among all the students.
She once angrily declared that she would expel the students who played pranks, but until now, Umbridge still has not found out who is behind the mischief.
Umbridge, who was about to ask the students to read aloud, received a new surprise. The blackboard behind her suddenly screamed and repeated over and over again: "Umbridge, go eat shit."
Such vulgar words made all the students in the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom laugh.
What made Umbridge most angry was that she couldn't stop the voice, making all the students in the classroom think she was useless.
Today, the Defense Against the Dark Arts class has become the most hated course for Hogwarts students. Some bad rumors about the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor and the Ministry of Magic have spread among students.
Now everyone knows that the Ministry of Magic sent Toad to do everything possible to prevent everyone from learning defensive spells because Minister of Magic Fudge believed that Dumbledore was using students to organize a secret army to fight against the Ministry of Magic.
Is there really such an army in the school
It's just hilarious!
Of course, some students also believed that Umbridge prevented everyone from learning defensive spells because she knew nothing at all, so naturally she had nothing to teach everyone and could only let everyone read books in class.
They even produced favorable evidence. Many students asked Toad about the knowledge points in "Magic Defense Theory", but it turned out that she really knew nothing.
As a result, the saying "Umbridge was never a professor, but a waste" spread quickly in the school. Some people even openly challenged Umbridge by hanging photos of her performing magic in the hall and repeating: I, Umbridge, a pink toad, am a waste.
This incident made Umbridge very angry. Not only did she fail to find the culprit, but no professor was willing to help.
Similar pranks popped up one after another. The wooden doors of the Defense Against the Dark Arts Office and the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom were both written with difficult-to-deleverage paint: I, Umbridge, the pink toad, am a waste.
Peeves even made it into a song, and sang it everywhere in the school all day long. Now when Umbridge's photo appears, they don't shout, but hum instead, so that everyone can hum a few lines at random:
… is just a piece of crap.
