"They've been occupying that place lately!"
Katrina, who was doing her homework in the library, did not forget to complain to Albert about the fact that the "Defense Association" had been occupying the Room of Requirement.
As Christmas approaches, Katrina becomes increasingly busy. Not only does she have to deal with a large amount of holiday homework, but she also needs to lead the prefects to help the professors decorate the castle.
Lately, she's been wishing she could stay in the Room of Requirement to do her homework quietly without being interrupted all the time.
I really don’t know why the student union president has so many things to do. She suspects that the reason she is so busy is because the guy next to her is always slacking off.
Of course, part of the reason was that Umbridge was still in hospital, and the professors all wanted to have a happy Christmas, otherwise they would probably just deal with it.
“They don’t have enough time.”
Albert stared at the notebook without looking up and said calmly, "When Umbridge recovers and is discharged from the hospital, Hogwarts School will probably be in turmoil again."
"I don't think so. God knows if Umbridge will get sick and be hospitalized again!" Katrina glanced at Albert next to her and continued, "By the way, I plan to stay in school for Christmas and finish my holiday homework. I can also..."
"Yin Zebel asked you to go back for Christmas." Albert interrupted.
"I've already signed the list of students who will be kept on campus," Katrina reminded with a sneer.
Honestly, she had no interest in embarrassing herself.
"It's just a small matter. Just tell Professor McGonagall." Albert could actually guess why Katrina didn't want to go back for the Christmas holidays, but he still reminded her, "Mrs. MacDougal will also come over to spend Christmas with us."
"At home?" Katrina asked with a raised eyebrow.
"No, somewhere else." Albert had prepared a lot of safe houses, and he didn't want to take any risks.
"Forget it, I'll just stay in school."
"Yin Zebel said that if you don't go back, then..." Albert moved his eyes away from the notebook, reached into his pocket, took out a piece of letter paper and handed it to Katrina.
"She always likes to do this kind of thing under the pretext of doing it for my own good, without considering my feelings at all." Katrina pouted and complained without even looking at the contents of the envelope.
Even if she didn't watch it, she could guess what the content was.
"It's really annoying." Albert nodded in agreement.
"That's right..."
Katrina was about to denounce Yin Zebel when she heard Albert say again: Although I often do this too.
It made her speechless.
At this moment, a girl hurried over here and said to the two of them, "Toad has disappeared in the school hospital. Professor McGonagall hopes you can lead people to look for her in the castle."
"Umbridge is missing?" Katrina repeated with a strange expression.
"Yes, she is missing. Professor McGonagall is in the school hospital." The girl glanced at Albert secretly and said, "I really hope she will be missing until the end of this semester."
"I understand. We'll be there right away." Albert closed his notes and stood up.
"Could it be your roommates' mischief again?"
After the girl left in a hurry, Katrina cast a suspicious look at Albert. She felt that there was a high probability that Albert had instructed his group of daring roommates to do this, with the purpose of making the Toad disappear temporarily for a while and solving the trouble directly at the source.
"The Defense Against the Dark Arts professor is cursed." Albert didn't care about the other party's accusation. "It's normal for something to happen."
“What a waste of time.”
Katrina had to put down her quill and went to the school hospital with Albert. "I'm sure you know where the toad is."
"Who knows?" Albert raised his hand and gently knocked on the door of the school hospital, then walked in with Katrina.
Professor McGonagall was talking to Madam Pomfrey, and the prefects from various houses were also here, whispering to each other about Umbridge's disappearance.
"As you can see, Professor Umbridge has suddenly disappeared." Professor McGonagall looked around at the two student union presidents and prefects and said, "We suspect she is 'hiding' somewhere in Hogwarts Castle, and we are going to give everyone a surprise. I need you to mobilize other students to help find Professor Umbridge."
"Professor, what if we can't find him?" Ernie Macmillan raised his hand and asked, "I heard... there have been cases of Defense Against the Dark Arts professors going missing before, maybe..."
"Whether Professor Umbridge is missing or not, we must try to find her."
In fact, Professor McGonagall's meaning is very clear, that is, just pretend.
If Umbridge really disappeared completely like Rowena Smith, there would be nothing she could do, as she had already mobilized all the students in the school to help find her.
As for not being able to find anyone, that was not her concern.
"I really hope that toad will suddenly disappear from the world."
"Is it really the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor's curse?"
…
After walking out of the school hospital, Albert cleared his throat and said to everyone, "Ahem, as you can see, Umbridge has suddenly disappeared."
Everyone stopped and looked at Albert.
"It is obviously unrealistic for us to find Umbridge." Albert said to all the prefects, "So I hope that all the prefects will tell the students of their respective colleges about this news and mobilize all the students in the school to help find her."
As for whether others are willing to help, that is another matter.
Just as Katrina guessed, Albert did know where the toad was "hiding".
Last night, Fred, George and Lee Jordan told Albert a breaking news that the Anti-Toad Alliance had decided to launch a massive attack against the Toads.
They planned to turn Umbridge into a toad and decorate one of the Christmas trees in the hall.
Yes, the Toad was in the hall, charmed and placed on top of the Christmas tree to serve as the star.
There is a toad on the Christmas tree, which is really strange, so someone has cast an illusion spell on the toad.
That night, while everyone was enjoying dinner, the effect of the Disillusionment Charm on the Toad gradually disappeared.
"What is that?"
Someone pointed at the toad on the Christmas tree and shouted.
With the shouting, more and more students noticed the toad on the Christmas tree.
No one knew who had done it, but the toad on the Christmas tree suddenly turned into Umbridge's appearance, causing the students who were eating to almost spit out the food in their mouths.
However, something even stranger happened.
Umbridge actually stood on the top of the Christmas tree like a light feather, and began to spin in circles, while the people around her slowly sang "Toad's Song" to the tune of Merry Christmas.
I don’t know if it was intentional or not, but the professors just stood there stupidly, letting the ugly Umbridge spin on the Christmas tree, with no intention of stepping forward to save her.
Suddenly there was a sound of fireworks exploding under the Christmas tree, and above Umbridge's head, a sentence suddenly appeared: The Anti-Toad League presents "Toad's Song" to everyone.
"Anti-Toad League?" Professor McGonagall whispered.
I don't know who started singing "The Toad's Song" along with the music, but the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became joyful.
After the students in the hall came to their senses, they sang "The Toad's Song" to the joyful tune of Merry Christmas.
That night, Umbridge's deeds spread throughout Hogwarts and became a hot topic of discussion. Many students suddenly discovered that the "Anti-Toad League" that they thought did not exist had actually done such a big thing, and they all asked about the news of the Anti-Toad League.
At this moment, the Anti-Toad Alliance, no, it should be said that the DA members are holding a celebration party in the Room of Requirement to celebrate their first victory.
That’s right, what happened just now was done by Harry and the DA members.
They first used quick-acting skipping candy to create the flu to delay Madam Pomfrey, then used the Disillusionment Charm to secretly knock out the toad, and then Cedric, who was the best at Transfiguration, turned Umbridge into a toad and took her out of the school hospital, and the prefects who were decorating the Christmas tree placed the toad on the Christmas tree.
Umbridge was able to spin slowly because she was standing on a wooden plate that had been cast with a Disillusionment Charm. As for the song, it was even simpler.
There is no doubt that the prank plan designed by the evil-minded Wesley brothers brought a lot of joy and laughter to everyone.
It also brought unprecedented confidence to the Anti-Toad Alliance, and incidentally led everyone into the gutter to fight against Umbridge.
At first, Hermione actually didn't agree with the twin brothers' plan.
"Fighting Umbridge together will help the unity of the entire DA. If Harry wants to fight against You-Know-Who in the future, he will need his own supporters. He can't fight against You-Know-Who and his minions alone. Even with a few of us, it won't be enough. Harry needs more support." George said meaningfully, "Albert realized it, so he gave you the book to help set up the current DA."
Hermione was finally convinced by George.
Harry needs supporters, not isolation.
In order to prevent Umbridge from spending the Christmas holidays alone in her bed, Professor McGonagall asked Hagrid to move a Christmas tree to the school hospital and place it next to Umbridge's bed.
However, what is placed on this Christmas tree is not a star, but a pink toad.
"Actually, I think it's okay to hang the toad on the Christmas tree for a longer time." Fred felt that it was too easy for Umbridge to let her go.
"Do you want to freeze the toad into a popsicle?" Lee Jordan couldn't help rolling his eyes. He felt that the timing was very good at that time. Not only did it allow everyone to see the toad's appearance clearly, it also boosted the reputation of the Anti-Toad Alliance, and led the toad astray. It also brought joy and laughter to everyone. It was really killing two birds with one stone.
"Can't you just be quiet?"
George was telling Albert that Harry's teaching progress was much slower than he expected. Although Harry had spent a lot of time on this matter, everyone's learning progress was still very slow.
"Harry is teaching everyone the Patronus Charm." George looked at Albert who was reading a book, raised his eyebrows and asked, "You don't seem to care much about this."
"What they have learned is their own. Why should I care about it?" Albert flipped through the book in his hand. The book was a Christmas gift from Dumbledore: The Tales of Beedle the Bard.
"What are you looking at?"
"The Tales of Beedle the Bard, Dumbledore Edition."
"What's up with the Dumbledore version?" George raised an eyebrow.
"It's The Tales of Beedle the Bard, translated and published by Professor Dumbledore. He also added his own comments after each story." Albert handed the book to Fred.
"Dumbledore is going to publish The Tales of Beedle the Bard?" Lee Jordan asked in confusion.
"I guess not now. The book will probably be published after Fudge steps down. After all, a lot of trouble can be saved by then."
"I always feel that it is different from the versions I read before." Fred handed the book to Lee Jordan.
Most British wizards grew up listening to The Tales of Beedle the Bard.
"Yes, the Tales of Beedle the Bard that you read before was revised. This is a literal translation. The most essential part of this book is actually the comments left by Professor Dumbledore," Albert reminded.
"I don't understand. What do you think Professor Dumbledore is trying to say?" Lee Jordan handed the book to George.
"Tell us about it." George returned the book to Albert.
After a circle, "The Tales of Beedle the Bard" returned to Albert's hands.
"Everyone has his own opinion." Albert put away The Tales of Beedle the Bard, covered his yawn and said, "I feel a little sleepy. Let's go to bed early."
"Good night!"
However, they didn't sleep for long before they were awakened by a hurried knock on the door.
When Lee Jordan opened the dormitory door, he saw Professor McGonagall standing outside.
"Professor, is there anything I can help you with?" Lee Jordan asked, hiding his yawn.
"Tell Fred and George to wait for me in the common room, quickly, it's urgent." After Professor McGonagall finished speaking, she turned and left to inform Ginny Weiss that she was coming.
"Fred, George, get up." Lee Jordan looked at Professor McGonagall's departing back in confusion, then turned around to wake up the Weisley brothers who were still a little dazed.
"What happened?" Fred and George covered their yawns.
"Professor McGonagall said something urgent and asked you to wait for her in the common room." Lee Jordan frowned.
"Urgent matter, looking for us?" George repeated in confusion.
"Remember to put on your cloak to avoid catching a cold." Albert reminded: "And don't forget to bring your communication bookmark with you so we can contact you when the time comes."
"Do you know what happened?" Lee Jordan looked at the backs of the Weiss brothers as they left, and turned to ask Albert.
"Maybe...something happened to their family!"
Albert was very curious whether Voldemort had created another snake to attack Arthur Weiss after Nagini was killed by Dumbledore, and intended to use it to mislead Harry Potter.
Or did something else happen
"Because of the Order of the Phoenix?" Lee Jordan planned to join the Order of the Phoenix after graduation.
"Probably." Albert covered his yawn and said, "Go to sleep. You can use the communication bookmark to contact them tomorrow."
"Can prophecy really do whatever it wants?"
Lee Jordan glanced at Albert who turned back to sleep, held back his yawn, and lay back on the bed to continue sleeping.
That guy's words always make people feel at ease.
prophecy
No, Phoenix's tears can heal most injuries, even the basilisk's poison, not to mention Arthur Weiss's injuries.
As long as Arthur is alive.
However, the cost of using Phoenix Tears to heal wounds might be a bit high, which means Arthur might lose his job.
No matter how stupid Fudge was, he could guess that Arthur Weiss was Dumbledore's man. After all, the tears of the phoenix are extremely precious.
