The Anti-Toad League badge was welcomed by everyone as soon as it was released, especially since it was distributed free of charge to members of the Anti-Toad League. Many students who hated Umbridge ran to the Weiss brothers to get a badge to wear on their chests after learning that it cost one Galleon to buy it.
As for the need to sign to get the badge, that is not a problem at all. Most members of the Anti-Toad Alliance are actually members of the DA. They have already signed once, and the signature is only to give the badge holder a 10% discount on purchases.
For a time, it became popular for Hogwarts students to wear such a badge on their chests to easily identify their respective colleges and identities.
When everyone saw others wearing the badges of their respective colleges, they would give each other meaningful smiles, leaving those students without badges confused.
In order to integrate into this mysterious group, many people began to ask where they could get the college badge.
As a result, some students joined the Anti-Toad Alliance blindly.
Today, the Anti-Toad League is no longer just a verbal organization, but a real anti-Umbridge club, and has quickly become the largest club in the entire Hogwarts.
Students who were initially concerned about getting into trouble soon discovered the benefits of joining the Anti-Toad Club.
Here, they can get a lot of secret information, buy joke props that have not been publicly sold from Fred and George, and get the "Wizard Express" magazine at a relatively low price, even the past issues.
Among them, the relatively expensive magical candies made by Albert, such as tranquilizers, intelligence enhancers and vitality tonics, became the first things that fifth and seventh grade students rushed to buy.
Many students now like to put a piece of intelligence-enhancing drug in their mouths while reviewing, so that they can review the key points of the exam in a more full state of mind.
Some students also learned through this channel about the existence of the "Defense Association", an organization that teaches everyone how to defend against the dark arts.
This pile of secret information made most of the newly joined students extremely excited, as if they had joined a secret organization.
Since the establishment of the Anti-Toad Alliance, the atmosphere in the whole school has become lively.
Albert always saw students gathering in groups of two or three in the corridor, whispering about the rumors spread by Lee Jordan. Whenever he saw a student without a badge passing by, he would stare at them with vigilance, which made the Slytherin students a little stunned, not understanding why others looked so wary of thieves.
What's even funnier is that some Slytherin students got the snake emblem, which symbolizes Slytherin, from somewhere, but the situation still did not improve, to the point that many Slytherin students suspected that the other three colleges were planning to target them.
What Albert found most interesting was that the Anti-Toad League was discussing how to get Umbridge, who was almost recovered, back to bed. Many people believed that Toad would be kicked out of school after the end of this semester, so how to keep her in the hospital and ensure that she would not interfere with everyone's normal schooling became the league's priority.
"So, what good ideas have you come up with now?" Albert was curious about what new tricks these people would come up with.
"They were going to cast an Oblivion Charm on Umbridge so that she'd forget she was a professor, and then they could... well, we ran into Lockhart at St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries over the Christmas holidays, and that guy was a complete idiot. You know, they're cowards." Fred did not agree with using the Oblivion Charm on Umbridge, and they didn't want to do it themselves.
"That's a completely bad idea." George was counting the joke props sold today. "I think they will at most use joke props to fight Umbridge. For this reason, we plan to provide them with a greater discount. If they buy a large number of joke props from us at one time to deal with Umbridge, we plan to give them a 20% discount."
"Rather than relying on them, it's better to rely on Peeves to work harder." Albert was not optimistic about those students, unless they could really let go of their concerns and fight against Umbridge. And there was another reason. The mission of the Anti-Toad Alliance was stuck at 51%, and it was obvious that some students did not really want to join.
"What's your idea?"
"Talk to Peeves and have him follow Umbridge around all day to cause trouble for her." Albert reminded, "Umbridge is almost recovered. I doubt she will be able to be discharged before Valentine's Day."
"That's a good idea. I hope Toad won't go crazy because of this!" After the three of them observed a three-second silence for Toad, they continued, "We plan to hang Toad in the hall on Valentine's Day as a little angel for Valentine's Day, and then feed her a bowel cleansing pill."
"Aren't you afraid of disgusting other people?" Albert's expression became quite interesting.
"After discussing it, we decided that the best way was to make it so that Umbridge could not stay in the school anymore." George explained, "I don't believe that Umbridge still has the face to stay in the school."
"Although this trick is a bit cruel, it's effective." After seeing Albert's expression, Lee Jordan cleared his throat and said helplessly, "Umbridge's face is thicker than a toad's skin. We think we need to use a cruel trick to make it work."
"If you really do this, you'll have to be careful of Umbridge's revenge. I wouldn't be surprised even if she kills you secretly." Albert could actually understand why the three of them did this. There was no other way. Umbridge was too thick-skinned. No matter if she turned into a pink toad or a human-shaped toad hung on the Christmas tree, she could not be forced to leave. If she were an ordinary professor, she would probably have resigned, but Umbridge insisted on staying in the school and refused to leave.
"In fact, you can mobilize the Anti-Toad Alliance to help find a solution. Everyone has a rich imagination, so there is no need to be so extreme." Although Albert said this, he was looking forward to what interesting things would happen next.
"We're also preparing a few backup plans, so if Harry's Toad Plan fails, at least they'll come in handy."
"Potter hasn't given up on that idea yet?"
"No, he originally wanted to turn Umbridge into a cat, but then thought it might be better to keep her as a toad, and he could claim it was a curse from the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor," Fred explained.
"You seem to be very pessimistic about this matter."
"Umbridge is not stupid, she can't be defenseless," Albert pointed out.
"We'll keep Harry on his toes, and Toads are just stupid."
