As soon as Umbridge took office, she began to use means to form cliques and factions in order to consolidate her power and status in Hogwarts. She knew very well that it was impossible to control Hogwarts alone, and Filch, who had been won over before, was not as reliable as she had imagined. She needed more helpers to help share the pressure, create conflicts, and divert the students' attention.
As a result, the investigation team was soon formally established through the Education Order. Umbridge planned to use these privileged positions to win over the powerful Slytherin students. She knew very well that the descendants of pure-blood wizards liked such privileges.
With no one to stop her, Umbridge directly appointed Malfoy and his gang as members of the Investigative Task Force, granting them various powers of the Investigative Task Force and a silver "I" symbol badge symbolizing their identity.
As Umbridge wished, Hogwarts soon fell into chaos. The Slytherin group gained power and became arrogant and domineering. They began to use the power they got from Umbridge to frantically suppress the other three houses and successfully diverted the students' attention.
There was no way. In just half a day, except for the Slytherin hourglass with the emerald, the gems in the Gryffindor, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff hourglasses were greatly reduced.
The students from the three colleges all stared at the arrogant guys with gnashing teeth, wishing they could immediately draw their wands and teach them an unforgettable lesson.
Faced with Malfoy's provocation, Harry finally held back and looked at the Malfoy trio who left laughing with disgust.
“Damn it!”
Ron kicked the wall hard, wishing he could kill the person who had subdued Ginny with Malfoy's gang.
"What on earth are Fred and George doing."
"Calm down, Ron," Hermione warned.
"How can you ask me to calm down? You saw it just now." Ron punched the wall again.
"Now is not the best time." Harry said gloomily as he looked at Malfoy's departing back.
At least, you can't just beat the other person up openly, otherwise you will get into unnecessary trouble.
Everyone was filled with anger and extremely disgusted with the so-called investigation team, and even more disgusted with Umbridge who caused all this.
Those students who had beaten Umbridge felt that they had been too lenient at the time. Why didn't they slap the toad into the school hospital
Many people went to Albert, hoping he could help them find a solution.
Fred, George and Lee Jordan, who are experienced in making trouble, will naturally not sit still and wait for death. In their eyes, the arrogant investigation team is just a bunch of punks (Albert's original words), and they are good testing subjects for joke props.
The three of them took the advice they got from Albert, called together DA members, and prepared to form a team to counter the investigation task force.
According to Albert's guidelines, George listed the ways to deal with the investigation team: "You don't need to care about their provocations. The more you care, the more excited they will be. So just ignore the provocations of the investigation team and pretend you didn't see them. Especially when they are so high-profile to attract your attention, but you completely ignore them, they will feel worse than you, after all, they can't continue to pretend. Of course, you can also look at them as if they are idiots. As for the point deduction, all the points have been deducted anyway, so let them continue to deduct points."
In order to combat the Inquisitorial Team and Umbridge, the Weisley twins officially announced that they would offer everyone a 40% discount on joke props at a bloody price so that everyone would have enough joke props to fight the evil toad.
While the Anti-Toad League was secretly planning how to deal with the Inquisitorial Team and the Toads, Peeves, who had been waiting for Dumbledore to leave, finally let himself go.
Peeves no longer used his old tricks of overturning tables, knocking over statues and vases, and suddenly rushing out from the blackboard during class.
With Albert's special funding, Peeves is now fully equipped and powerful.
During the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, it threw a laughing bomb into the classroom, and laughed as it watched the students who were originally in class rush out of the classroom under the smoke.
Umbridge, who was laughing wildly, was soon hit by a dung bomb. She laughed and looked at Peeves who threw the dung bomb, trembling all over.
Puff! Puff! Puff!
Three dung bombs hit Umbridge's face in full view of everyone, and then Peeves pinched his nose, made a gesture of disgust, and flew away laughing.
However, the strange thing was that everyone looked at Umbridge who was laughing non-stop and felt it was particularly funny.
Ever since Peeves started causing trouble, strange things have been happening one after another in the school.
At night, several students claimed to have seen terrible giants in the corridors, and screams echoed throughout the castle.
To this end, Umbridge also asked the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic to search the castle and the grounds, but no trace of the giant was found at all.
Based on the news that Nick, who was almost frowned, overheard by chance, Umbridge actually thought that this matter might be related to Hagrid, because Hagrid was of giant descent.
As soon as he entered the hall, Albert heard a chaotic roar. Several wolf-fang flying saucers flew over everyone's heads. The roar echoed in the hall, almost making Filch's nose crooked with anger.
Every time they saw the wolf-fang flying saucer flying overhead, the students would subconsciously lower their heads to avoid being bitten on the head by the wolf-fang flying saucer.
For the lucky person who is bitten by a flying saucer, Peeves will help him change his hairstyle for free. Now in the classroom, you can always see people going to class with strange hairstyles.
Frustrated, Umbridge tried to solve the students' hair problem, but the pitiful knowledge in her almost forgotten head was not enough to help everyone out of the predicament.
So, Umbridge, who could no longer bear it, used the Shattering Curse to destroy the Spike UFO, but the thing exploded directly above everyone's heads, not only scaring everyone, but also sending several students to the school hospital.
Finally, Umbridge came up with a ridiculous idea, which was to let Filch use a mop pole to shoot down the wolf-fang flying saucers.
The result is predictable. Filch gained nothing and was slapped in the face by Peeves.
Umbridge could only watch students with all kinds of weird hairstyles appear in the classroom. Of course, this group of people could not all be victims of Peeves. They bought quick-acting hair dye spray and various hairstyle potions from Fred.
When Umbridge needs help, the Inquisitorial Team also encounters various accidents.
Draco Malfoy's head was dyed emerald green and a small flower grew on it.
As for the lackeys Goyle and Crabbe, they naturally would not be left behind. One had green onions growing out of his nose and ears, and the other had a terrible skin disease that made him look like his body was covered with corn flakes.
The unlucky Mrs. Meng fainted in the toilet due to diarrhea, and it is said that the stench was terrible when she was found.
Pansy Parkinson grew deer antlers and a pig snout on her head, and photos of her went viral around the school.
Cassius Warrington was found on the toilet in the girls' bathroom, his pants half removed, a heavy bloody nose, and God knows what he had been doing.
The other members of the Investigative Team had all encountered some misfortune and were unable to provide Umbridge with any help.
No, they successfully helped Umbridge attract a wave of hatred.
However, Umbridge was not happy because she found that as soon as she entered the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom, all the students in it began to faint, vomit, develop a severe high fever, or bleed from both nostrils.
Most of the students needed to go to the school hospital, and the only students left in the classroom were the stunned Slytherin students.
What made Umbridge most angry was that these guys insisted that they had "Umbridge Syndrome".
Furious, Umbridge ordered Madam Pomfrey to cure them and find the root cause of these mysterious illnesses. However, Madam Pomfrey still said that she was powerless to do anything and that even if they were cured, they could still relapse at any time.
Umbridge naturally didn't believe such nonsense. She thought someone was playing tricks on her, otherwise how could all the students fall ill at the same time, and only fall ill in her class? Even if she used her brain, she knew that this was their way of resisting their own class.
Umbridge therefore detained many students, trying to use various means to make them reveal the root cause of the disease. However, she still could not find the cause, and what was worse was that she found that she was also infected with the symptoms, such as fainting, retching, nosebleeds, and fever when she was detaining others.
Even though she knew someone was causing trouble for her, Umbridge didn't have any good solution. Who could blame her for not being able to find the root of the problem
Eventually, she gave in and allowed the bleeding, fainting, and vomiting students to leave her classroom in droves, while also trying to avoid being infected by the bizarre symptoms herself.
Umbridge's surrender doesn't mean the matter is over.
After the previous case, everyone was unwilling to trust Toad's credibility, thinking that this might be another conspiracy of hers, and they were very careful to guard against her to avoid the previous case. This was especially true for the students of Ravenclaw and Gryffindor, as no one wanted to become the next Colin and Ginny.
What everyone wants to know most now is when the toad will leave.
The topic Albert heard most frequently was: how to get rid of Umbridge.
Umbridge was definitely the most unpopular headmaster, if she could be considered a headmaster at all.
Being targeted by a group of students who were eager to try and make trouble, Umbridge's life was not easy. Especially since the members of the investigation team entered the school hospital, she was under a lot of pressure and her temper became more irritable than before. However, it was of no avail. Especially Peeves, who was like a devil, pestering her all day long, constantly causing trouble for her and making her mentally weak. Once she let her guard down, Peeves would grab her ears and scream loudly: Grab your ears, grab your ears!"
