Daily Life at Hogwarts

Chapter 1063: The crime is deserved

Views:

After gradually adapting to the chaotic situation at Hogwarts, everyone was surprised to find that their original college life had undergone tremendous changes.

The professors completely turned a blind eye to the terrible things happening in the castle. Even when students blatantly played wizard cards in class, they would not make any comments, and they were even more casual in giving or taking points.

Ever since the Inquisitorial Squad appeared at Hogwarts, no one really took grades seriously.

In a spells class, Professor Flitwick even went to watch Fred and Lee Jordan play wizard cards, and chatted with Albert about "Spells Innovation" magazine, which surprised many students.

No one expected that even Professor Flitwick would start to give up.

Although the classes have become very casual, Professor Flitwick's classes are still very popular, especially when he sometimes gets inspired and talks to everyone about various interesting topics in class, such as his experiences traveling around the world when he was young. Once, he even asked Albert to go on stage to tell everyone about the International Wizarding Duel Tournament, and at the same time increase everyone's common sense.

In fact, after Headmaster Dumbledore was forced to leave the school, the professors of the entire Hogwarts did not take the new headmaster seriously at all and were happy to see him make a fool of himself.

Whenever there was a small problem, the professors would ask someone to "invite" Umbridge to deal with it, as if no one could handle the matter properly without the new headmaster.

As a result, Umbridge's life as headmaster suddenly became busy.

Every day there were always a few classrooms where the roar of the wolf's fang flying saucer could be heard, and then Umbridge and Filch would have to rush over with large insect nets to help the professors solve the problem.

Since she couldn't use spells to deal with the Wolf Fang UFO, she had to find another way. If she couldn't even solve such a small problem, it would make her appear incompetent.

So, following Filch's suggestion, Umbridge made a large insect net. As long as she used it to catch the wolf-fang flying saucer, wouldn't the problem be easily solved

Of course, things are not as simple as Filch said, but at least it is a solution to the problem.

Every time there are always a lot of spectators cheering for Umbridge and Filch, and the scene is always very funny.

Since such scenes happened frequently, Albert changed the wolf tooth flying saucer into a cheaper fly toy.

The toy fly had a toad's head and always liked to fly over people's heads, making an annoying buzzing sound.

So, the unfortunate Umbridge exhausted herself to death before she had the chance to enjoy the power of the headmaster.

She had to take Filch around every day to deal with all kinds of emergencies, and her back became a landscape of Hogwarts.

Everyone knew that the professors had the ability to solve problems themselves, but they also had good reasons to throw the problems to Umbridge because they were not sure whether they had the power, so it was easier to ask Umbridge to help solve the problem.

Now everyone in the school is laughing at Umbridge, and even the professors are happy to cooperate with everyone to find something for Umbridge to do. She can't be idle, otherwise Umbridge will continue to make trouble.

Albert's original statement, "The toad is simply too idle, so he has the time and energy to cause trouble for everyone," was recognized by many people.

So, everyone was helping her find things to do.

No one would sympathize with Umbridge's situation. Who let Umbridge make such a mess of Hogwarts and yet she wanted to climb over everyone's heads and act tyrannically

Since she likes to make trouble, let her do it. Toad's troubles are far from over anyway, and there is another Peeves in the castle who likes to make trouble even more than her.

Speaking of Peeves, everyone now has a love-hate relationship with him.

Recently, Peeves has played an indispensable role. He always brings joy and laughter to everyone when he is causing trouble for Umbridge. Now most of the jokes in Hogwarts are supported by Peeves and Umbridge.

However, being affected by Peeves' pranks is definitely not a pleasant experience, and no one wants to experience Umbridge's experience personally.

This naughty guy opened a can of herrings in front of Umbridge while everyone was having lunch, poured it on the plate in front of Umbridge, and enthusiastically invited her to enjoy traditional Swedish food.

The moment the can of herring was opened, Umbridge's face turned black. The unique "fragrance" of the can of herring almost made Umbridge and the professors in the teaching seats vomit out the food they had just eaten.

"You're welcome, try it."

Peeves chuckled and picked up a herring, pretended to put it in his mouth, and then handed it to Umbridge, seeming to consider whether to put it in Umbridge's mouth.

Under the complicated gazes of the other professors, the plate of herring was accidentally thrown onto Umbridge's face.

"Luckily I still have some here."

Peeves conjured up a can of herrings, opened it again, and chased after Umbridge, inviting her to try this "delicious" can.

The "smell" gradually faded away amid screams and giggles, and everyone stared at the hallway in amazement.

The next moment, many people covered their mouths and pretended to retch.

There was no way, the taste was so wonderful that it took away all their appetites in an instant.

George turned his head to look at Albert, and suddenly understood why his friend didn't eat. He regretted that he didn't be more vigilant.

"It's a horrible smell. It's hard to believe that it comes from a can." Lee Jordan felt sick.

"Canned herring is said to be a traditional Swedish food. However, even in the Muggle world, not many people would try to taste it." Sana looked at the remaining food in front of her without any appetite.

"If you can overcome the smell, canned herrings are quite delicious." Albert decided to ask the house-elf to prepare extra food for him later.

"Have you tried it?"

Everyone looked at Albert, all with shocked expressions.

"I haven't tried it, and I don't plan to try it." Albert shook his head. Although he liked to taste delicious food, he had no interest in all kinds of weird food.

"I thought you got Peeves a whole box of those cans!"

George suddenly realized a serious problem. If Peeves opened a can of herrings in the hall every day, would they still be able to eat

There was an eerie silence around.

This was undoubtedly depressing news, and everyone could only pray silently that Umbridge would not come to the hall to dine again.

However, their wish was doomed to fail. Peeves always liked to run out and make trouble when Umbridge was having meals. No matter what Umbridge did, she couldn't escape unless she didn't eat at Hogwarts. It was possible once or twice, but if it happened too many times, it would be impossible.

With the mentality that everyone would be in trouble together, Umbridge ran to the hall to eat again, dragging everyone into the bad luck. As a result, many people would quickly finish their food and leave the hall after seeing Umbridge appear in the hall, so as not to be disgusted by Peeves' food.

It was said that Peeves had made Umbridge cockroach soup last time.

Many people don’t understand Umbridge’s persistence. They don’t understand why Umbridge, despite having such a hard time in the school, still refuses to give up the position of headmaster.

In Hogwarts Castle, the only person who was truly willing to help Umbridge was Filch.

Perhaps it was because Umbridge made Filch feel that he was valued, and Umbridge also passed the Whipping Approval Order, giving Filch the power to use a whip to punish naughty students.

From then on, Filch would wander around the corridors every day with a whip, hoping to catch the troublemakers.

But the problem is that Filch seems to have forgotten that he is just a Squib and is nothing compared to the students who can cast spells. Besides, there are too many naughty students at the moment, and they are more united than before under Albert's "Anti-Toad Outline".

Filch was no match for them and couldn't catch anyone.

Of course, no one would go too far and would often use a full-body binding spell to make the dear administrator stand in the corridor for hours, and he wouldn't be able to catch who was teasing him.

"Umbridge has banned the three of us from participating in Quidditch again. Angelina is almost mad." Fred sat next to Albert with food and mentioned what happened just now. "She even dreamed of confiscating our brooms. I said that Peeves had taken the brooms away and asked her to ask Peeves for them herself. As a result, she even planned to search our dormitory..."

"We think she might want to target you." George lowered his voice and said, "Toad may suspect that you provided those cans to Peeves. It is said that Umbridge also searched the Room of Requirement, as if she wanted to find evidence."

As a result, Umbridge couldn't enter the Gryffindor common room because everyone had forgotten the password.

The Fat Lady’s requirements for opening the door were simple: just give the password and she would let you in.

No one is allowed in without a password.

"Then, she went to Professor McGonagall to ask for the password." Fred seemed to find this very funny. "Professor McGonagall said she had forgotten the password."

"Anyway, Toad finally gave up."

"You should ask her to come to me for the password." Albert said with a smile.

"Will you tell her?" Fred asked curiously. They didn't believe Albert would be so kind.

"I'll make her fall when she steps into the lounge." Albert shrugged. "It would be best if she could knock out a few teeth. I don't think Madam Pomfrey can make her teeth grow out quickly. Maybe she needs to have a few gold teeth filled."

"We are planning to give Toad a surprise soon." George looked around and said in a low voice.

"Well, a big surprise?" Albert looked at George in confusion and said, "Now there are big surprises every day. As long as we can keep everyone smiling, it's enough."

"You're right. However, this time it's an action of the Anti-Toad Alliance. We plan to turn the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom into a swamp. Then no one will have to go to class. The portable swamp we made last time may come in handy." Fred briefly told Albert about their plan.

“No one really likes her class anyway,” George agreed.

"If we can't hold classes in the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom, the quick-acting skipping candies won't sell as well as they do now." Albert looked at Fred and George speechlessly and kindly reminded them, "If you want to give Toad a surprise, you can turn the corridor outside the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom into a swamp so that they can only use boats to cross the swamp to go to class. By the way, it will also give Filch something to do. He's wandering around with a whip all day now, which doesn't look like an administrator."

"You're right, we got a little carried away." Fred and George certainly wouldn't go against money, and Umbridge was undoubtedly a guarantee for the hot sales of the quick-acting skipping candy.

"I'm afraid your plan will have to be delayed." Lee Jordan appeared from nowhere.

"What's wrong?"

"I just heard from Nearly Headless Nico that Umbridge has passed an educational order to expel Peeves, and she plans to ask the Ministry of Magic to send someone to help solve the Peeves problem." Lee Jordan talked about the latest news he got today, "Is your swamp reliable? Will it be eliminated by those guys from the Ministry of Magic?"

"We'll fix it after this is over. Maybe by then we'll have developed a new, smelly version of the portable swamp."

The Weisley twins were not very confident about their swamp. They believed that Umbridge might not be able to deal with the portable swamp even if she tried very hard, but the professors could easily eliminate it with just a wave of their wands. As elite Aurors of the Ministry of Magic, their abilities could not be too bad.

"This is a good opportunity to let those people in the Ministry of Magic see how miserable Umbridge is." Albert said softly, "By the way, take out all the statues of Toad!"

"Are we finally going to take out the Toad statue?" George looked excited. They had made the statue of Umbridge a long time ago and planned to put it in the hallway for people to admire.

Albert had also cast various protective spells on the statue, so it would not be easily destroyed. He also used a permanent sticking spell, so even if the Aurors from the Ministry of Magic came, it would be difficult to remove it.

"I think it will definitely be a big surprise for everyone."

Fred said with a smile that he was looking forward to that day more and more. By then the whole castle would surely be in chaos, but what did that have to do with him

After Lee Jordan's special dissemination, everyone knew that the Ministry of Magic had issued an order to expel Peeves.

The most excited person was Filch, who could finally drive his archenemy away from Hogwarts.

However, most students do not look favorably upon the Ministry of Magic because Umbridge had tried it before and suffered a lot, and in the end it was the headmaster who stepped in to solve the problem.

If it was really easy to drive Peeves out of Hogwarts, there is no way that guy would still be in Hogwarts now.
