Overnight, Umbridge, who found herself suddenly turned into a toad, almost went crazy and her temper became irritable. Madam Pomfrey had to give her a lot of tranquilizers to prevent Umbridge from completely collapsing because of her appearance.
However, what bothered Madam Pomfrey even more was that she not only had to find time to comfort the annoying toad, but also had to deal with those curious students.
After the news of Umbridge turning into a toad spread, in order to see the toad with their own eyes, groups of students used the quick-acting skipping candy provided by the Weasley brothers and sent themselves to the school hospital for treatment, so as to get a glimpse of the toad's true appearance.
Madam Pomfrey had to take out the curtains and hang them around Umbridge's bed to prevent others from seeing the toad's appearance, lest she lose control of her emotions due to shame. However, the effect was not good, because the curtains could not block everyone's voices, let alone students who liked to commit suicide.
For this reason, Madam Pomfrey had suggested more than once that Umbridge go to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries for more formal treatment, but this suggestion was rejected by Umbridge as she did not want others to know that she had become like this.
Umbridge knew that if she showed up at St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries like this, it would be on the headlines of the newspapers the next day.
She would never allow this to happen.
However, Umbridge didn't know that a black-hearted guy had already taken a photo of her turning into a toad and was preparing to publish it in a magazine.
On the third day after Umbridge turned into a toad, Minister of Magic Fudge personally went to Hogwarts to visit her and had a big argument with Dumbledore over the matter, showing his weakness to the fullest.
Dumbledore said helplessly that this was probably the curse of the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. As we all know, the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts always has bad luck. Everyone knows this, and even before Umbridge took office, Dumbledore clearly mentioned this to her.
However, Fudge didn't think so. He believed that Umbridge became like this because of Dumbledore. It was Dumbledore's conspiracy.
Faced with such unreasonable accusations, Dumbledore was not angry, but gently said that Madam Pomfrey would do her best to treat Umbridge, or transfer Professor Umbridge to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries for better treatment.
Finally, after consulting Umbridge, Fudge allowed her to stay at Hogwarts for treatment.
Staying at school wasn't the best option for Umbridge.
The evil consequences soon emerged.
Since then, Umbridge has often received gifts from strangers, including chocolate frogs, very realistic cockroaches, singing greeting cards, and figurines.
These annoying gifts, like a group of uninvited guests, occupied the table beside Umbridge's bed.
At first, Umbridge didn't notice anything wrong until she took a bite of the chocolate frog that had been added with Arioth leaf extract, and then she deeply realized people's malice.
Cockroach skewers are a kind of very realistic gummy candy that looks exactly like a cockroach. They are also cast under a spell and always crawl into other people's mouths. It is said that they taste extremely disgusting when eaten.
The cards sang "Toad's Song" in the tune of a lullaby, and even if you tried to burn them, the sound would remain for a long time until the whole song was finished. The puppet statue model was Umbridge turned into a toad, and it was jumping around. If you didn't know, you would think it was a human-shaped toad.
Umbridge was extremely angry about this and asked Madam Pomfrey to throw away all the gifts. However, those things appeared on the table next to Umbridge's bed the next day, and the cockroaches even crawled into Umbridge's mouth, leaving Umbridge with an indelible memory.
After a few times, Umbridge no longer dared to let Madam Pomfrey throw things away, for fear that she would wake up with half a cockroach in her mouth.
She could only settle for the next best thing and cover the thing with a piece of white cloth to avoid it being an eyesore.
This still doesn't solve the problem.
If Umbridge did that, she would have cockroaches crawling all over her face the next day.
She compromised completely.
Although Madam Pomfrey believed that this would not happen if she was willing to go to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries for treatment, this still did not change Toad's decision to stay at Hogwarts.
However, Umbridge didn't know that her persistence was meaningless.
"I dare say that Toad will be so excited that he will faint after seeing this Defense Bulletin."
Fred, holding a newspaper he got from Albert, suggested with a smile, "We should send a copy to Toad."
"I've asked the house elf to deliver it. I'm sure she will be very excited when she receives it."
"I was so excited that I jumped out of the bed."
"I think we should share it with everyone. Toad is in the hospital now and no one will cause trouble. Now is the best opportunity. I think this magazine will definitely impress everyone." George said what Albert wanted to do.
"Also, we should probably get the broadcasts back on schedule." Lee Jordan loved the Wizard Lookout broadcasts.
"We can arrange a letter-writing session for her to send blessings to Umbridge." Albert was quite satisfied with this. "Then take the radio to Umbridge's bedside and play it, so that Toad can also hear everyone's blessings to her.
The four of them looked at each other, with undisguised malice on their faces.
On that day, a large number of free "Defence Express" appeared in Hogwarts Castle and soon became known to the curious students.
Umbridge's toad appearance even appeared on the cover of a magazine. The only regrettable thing is that Umbridge on the cover of the magazine has no head.
According to some parties involved, the toad's face looks very much like a toad.
Everyone blamed her experience on the curse of the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, and many people said that Toad would soon be kicked out of Hogwarts.
The most amazing thing is that the Anti-Toad Alliance expressed its responsibility for the incident and announced that the alliance had achieved initial results in the fight against Toads, winning unanimous praise from everyone.
All of a sudden, the number of students claiming to be members of the Anti-Toad Alliance increased significantly.
"Defense Express" has become a must-read newspaper for the Anti-Toad Alliance.
As for, the education order
Umbridge was still lying in the school hospital and had no time to cause trouble for everyone.
The Wizarding Lookout is also very popular, and students often get together to listen to the Wizarding Lookout's broadcasts and discuss the content.
However, people do not share the same joys and sorrows.
After discovering the latest issue of "Defence Express", Umbridge was so angry that she jumped up from the bed and tore the "Defence Express" into pieces. In the end, Madam Pomfrey had to use a stunning spell to put her into a deep sleep to successfully prevent her from getting too emotional.
There was no way, the cover of this magazine was Umbridge transformed into a toad. Although she had no head, it was not difficult to recognize her from her clothes.
…
ah!
A shrill scream cut through the night.
The compartment next to the school hospital was suddenly opened, and Madam Pomfrey, holding her wand, walked into the school hospital vigilantly. Seeing Umbridge running towards her in a panic, she almost knocked her down by mistake.
"What's going on?"
Madam Pomfrey raised her wand and probed towards the bed in the school hospital ward, but saw nothing. She suppressed her anger and looked at Umbridge who was almost hiding behind her.
"Giant, there was a giant..."
"There are no giants here!" Madam Pomfrey interrupted impatiently, "You just had a nightmare. I told you to take a sleeping potion."
"I'm sure it's a giant," Umbridge retorted loudly. "I just saw a giant!"
"You're having a nightmare." Madam Pomfrey walked around the hospital wing with her wand raised, and said to Umbridge expressionlessly, "Look, there are no giants here except you."
Being woken up in the middle of the night, it's no wonder that Madam Pomfrey was in a bad mood.
Umbridge was speechless because the giant she had just seen had disappeared, but she was sure that it was definitely a giant.
But why did it disappear
"What's going on? I just heard screaming."
Professor McGonagall, wearing pajamas and holding a wand, appeared at the entrance of the school hospital. Looking at the two people inside, her expression became a little strange.
"Umbridge had a nightmare," Madam Pomfrey explained helplessly.
"Peeves, I bet it was Peeves who did it."
Filch did not forget to put the blame on Peeves. Recently, Peeves could no longer harm Umbridge, and could only harm Filch and other Hogwarts students.
Not long ago, Peeves opened a can of herrings in Filch's office and dumped the can on the floor. The smell was simply... His Mrs. Norris would never go back.
"Poppy, you should get her some sleeping pills."
Professor McGonagall looked at Umbridge, who looked like a toad, with a dark face and said coldly, "It's not good to be awakened again and again."
"Go back and rest. It's a long night." Madam Pomfrey said to Umbridge, "I'll get you some sleeping potion. How will everyone sleep then?"
"No, I don't drink that stuff." Umbridge refused directly.
One time, after she drank that stuff, she woke up to find a bunch of cockroaches stuffed in her mouth, which scared her to the point of leaving a traumatic memory.
After the last experience, Umbridge was unwilling to drink that stuff again, for fear that someone would stuff something strange into her mouth when she was half asleep.
"I still suggest that you go to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries for more formal treatment." Professor McGonagall shook her head and walked out, no longer meeting with Umbridge.
That toad-like face made Professor McGonagall feel sick.
"Professor, over in classroom 11..." Filch quickly caught up and reminded.
"Classroom 11?"
Professor McGonagall looked at Filch in confusion. If Filch hadn't come to her and mentioned classroom 11, she would never have been able to come and see what was going on.
"Yes," Filch said firmly, "There are voices over there. I suspect someone is in classroom 11."
Professor McGonagall followed Filch towards classroom 11, and soon after she knocked gently on the door, she heard it being opened from the inside.
"What's up?"
Firenze's voice sounded from inside.
"Professor Firenze, have you seen other students..." Professor McGonagall stared at another person in the classroom with wide eyes and asked, "Mr. Anderson, what are you doing here in the middle of the night?"
"Professor, I'm discussing astrology with Professor Firenze." Albert raised his eyebrows slightly, obviously not expecting to be interrupted. When he saw Filch behind Professor McGonagall, he roughly guessed the reason.
Crystal ball divination has its limitations. If you can master the astrology of the Horse people, it may not be a bad choice.
After all, divination can indeed bring him a lot of convenience.
"Communicating astrology?" Professor McGonagall thought that was a little ridiculous.
"Astronomy and astrology are both conducted at night." Albert explained kindly, "If possible, I would actually like to come during the day. By the way, what happened just now? I think I heard a scream."
"Anderson is gifted in astrology."
Firenze was actually very happy that Albert came to talk to him. He didn't have many friends in school. Hagrid was one of them, but Hagrid rarely came to see him.
Firenze didn't have a good time at school and he didn't have many friends.
Professor McGonagall suddenly didn't know what to say. Finally, she nodded to Firenze, said sorry for disturbing him, and turned away with Filch.
She also discussed academic knowledge with Albert and knew that it was inappropriate to bring up the school rules at this time, especially after Umbridge's incident, she was too lazy to care. "
"Professor, this..."
Filch didn't know what to do. He didn't expect Professor McGonagall to just ignore it.
"Don't worry, Firenze will keep an eye on him, and Anderson won't cause any trouble." Professor McGonagall said calmly, "It's not nice to interrupt other people's academic exchanges."
Filch's mouth gradually widened and his eyes became confused. He chose to pretend that he saw nothing and ignored everything.
In fact, Filch's impression of Albert was not too bad.
Although he always hung out with those two annoying Weasleys, he rarely got himself into trouble, not to mention he was the student union president.
Besides, Professor McGonagall obviously didn't want to care.
"Academic exchange?" Filch shook his head and walked away. "What the hell."
“They’re gone,” Firenze said.
"Well, it's still early, let's continue!" Albert took out his pocket watch, looked at the time and said.
"It's getting late. Go back and rest." Firenze said, "We can continue another day."
"Oh, okay, goodbye." Albert said goodbye to Firenze and prepared to return to the common room.
"Goodbye, it was nice talking to you."
Firenze told Albert a lot about the Centaurs' discoveries in astrology. To his surprise, Albert's understanding of astrology was not much inferior to that of the Centaurs. Sometimes he even put forward unique insights, which gave Firenze a sense of originality.
