Everyone wants Umbridge to get into trouble
Maybe.
But most people actually just like to watch the fun, and after the fun is over, they become indifferent to Umbridge's life or death.
Now, most students are focusing on their final exams, especially the fifth and seventh year students, who don't care about Umbridge at all.
The trial of the toad, which should have attracted much attention, was ignored by everyone.
After all, what did it matter to them whether Umbridge was in Azkaban or not
Harry Potter is probably the only one in the entire Hogwarts school who cares about Umbridge, but the OWL exam distracts most of Harry's attention.
Recently, Albert often heard seventh grade students complaining that the practical exams were too difficult. In the spells exams, many students were found to have lost points by the examiners because they chanted spells under their breath.
However, the practical exam on spells was not the most difficult. The practical exam on Transfiguration on the second day of the final wizard exam shocked most of the candidates.
Students were asked to perform body transformation: using transformation magic to change their appearance, that is, using magic to disguise themselves. This seems simple, but it actually stumped many people. The various weird appearances made the examiners shake their heads.
In addition, candidates also need to transform a table into a pig or other creatures. The larger the size of the transformed object, the more difficult it is. Deforming a table is undoubtedly a challenge for everyone.
The final result was actually easier, which was to use the Transfiguration Charm to change a whole paragraph of text on the parchment according to the examiner's requirements, so that the contents of other parchments would also change accordingly.
Albert once again easily won the excellent grade without any surprise. When he was waiting for others outside the corridor, he saw many faces that made people laugh.
Some people dyed their hair in an attempt to disguise themselves; some gave themselves bulging eyes, big mouths, and high noses; some had faces that were swollen as if they had been stung by a bee. In the end, these unlucky people who failed in plastic surgery had to go to the school hospital to seek help from Madam Pomfrey in the hope of restoring themselves to their original state.
"What are you going to turn yourself into?"
Albert looked Lee Jordan up and down, smiled and teased, he raised his magic wand to help Lee Jordan restore his eyebrows and hair to normal.
"I don't know either. My mind went blank during the exam." Lee Jordan sighed deeply. He felt that he might not be able to get the highest level S-transformation certificate.
"So you dyed your eyebrows and your hair to try to get away with it?"
"It's totally screwed anyway."
"If you plan to open a store in the future, it doesn't matter whether you mess up or not. You won't be able to use it anyway even if you get the S certificate," Albert comforted.
"That's true, but... it's still depressing." Lee Jordan sighed softly, "You always get excellent grades, so you can't understand how we feel."
"How did you do in the exam?" Albert asked Sana with a smile.
"It will be no problem to get a good score on the test."
"Where's Angelina?"
"The pig that the table turned into doesn't seem to be... very active."
"Maybe it's too fat. Albert's fat cat likes to lie down all day." Lee Jordan comforted.
"Forget it. It doesn't matter what the grades are. I can finally take a break tomorrow." Angelina plans to join the Quidditch club after graduation and has no requirements for a certificate.
"What if you don't succeed in joining the Quidditch Club?" Arya looked at her friend and reminded her, "Getting good grades will always leave you another way out."
"You should have confidence in me. Even Albert thinks I can join the Quirky Club." Angelina glared at Alia with dissatisfaction. Although she knew that the other party meant well, she still couldn't help getting angry.
"Angelina is quite good at this. She is a good Quidditch player and has served as captain of the Quidditch team." Lee Jordan consoled her. "Not many students are willing to join the Quidditch club every year. Even if you mess up, you can help out in the store. Fred and George will definitely welcome your help."
"Are they really opening a store?" Sana asked curiously.
"It's still under renovation," Albert said with a smile, "but it should be open for business soon."
"The rent for a store in Diagon Alley should be very expensive, right?"
"Since the news of the resurrection of the You-Know-Who spread, business in Diagon Alley has become worse. Many shops have closed down, and the prices in the shops have become much cheaper. Oh, and Mr. Ollivander seems to be missing."
Thanks to the disappearance of Ollivander and Fosco, people in Diagon Alley were in panic, and the stubborn original owner finally compromised and was willing to sell the shop at a lower price. This was mainly related to the fact that the last wizard war lasted for a long time.
"Olivander? The one who makes wands?" Shannah looked surprised.
"Yes, that's him." Albert nodded and said, "There was no one in the store, and there were no signs of a struggle. No one knows whether he left on his own or was kidnapped."
"What about the new students' wands next semester?"
"The Ministry of Magic can only look for another wand manufacturer." Albert shrugged and said, "But it may not be easy for them to find one with a good reputation."
Albert didn't know whether Ollivander escaped on his own or was captured by the Death Eaters, but the wand maker was indeed missing.
As for Florin Fosco, that guy ran away early, and Albert knew about it. Before leaving England, Fosco wrote a letter to Albert to express his gratitude.
"I'm so unlucky. I've encountered the worst time. It's not easy to find a job in this environment." Shanna sighed heavily and began to worry about her future.
"You can always find a job." Albert comforted him, "If you really don't have a job, I can find you one."
"You also introduce jobs to others?" Everyone looked at Albert in surprise.
"That's the benefit of knowing a lot of people, but I'm not sure if you like those jobs." Albert shrugged and reminded, "It's not easy to find a satisfying job."
The content of the herbal practice test on the third day of the Ultimate Wizarding Exam is: how to properly pick the fangs and leaves of poisonous tentacles.
For this reason, Madam Pomfrey complained about it a lot.
Because many wizards were poisoned to death by poisonous tentacles.
Since the poisonous tentacle itself is an extremely dangerous plant, Madam Pomfrey had to wait by the side the entire time to prevent students from being bitten by the poisonous tentacles during the exam.
Although such cases are actually rare, we must be on guard against them.
Albert picked the fangs and leaves easily because he used a spell to directly freeze the poisonous tentacles and completed the test quickly.
Although it is not quite the same as the so-called norm, Albert's method is obviously safer and can complete the harvest quickly, so Professor Marchbank and Professor Tofty still gave him an excellent grade, because magic assistance is allowed during the harvest, although being caught by poisonous tentacles will result in a deduction of points.
After the exam, Albert was left behind by Madam Pomfrey to help. The head nurse kept complaining about this to Professor Pomona Sprout, who looked helpless.
In fact, as long as you are well prepared for protection, poisonous tentacles are not as dangerous as you think. Most of the wizards who were poisoned by poisonous tentacles were because they did not wear dragon leather gloves, were accidentally bitten and poisoned, and did not receive first aid in the first time.
The Defense Against the Dark Arts exam was on Thursday, and probably because of Umbridge, the exam was easier than expected.
The students were asked to use a silent spell to remove the curse from the rabbit, then they were required to master the use of a defensive spell (Iron Armor Spell) to successfully resist the evil curse, and finally they were required to show the examiner a spell to expel a female ghost.
When Albert finished the Defense Against the Dark Arts practical test, Professor Tofty suddenly said, "I remember you once published a method to deal with werewolves."
"I didn't invent the human-recovery spell." Albert shook his head. "I just restored the spell."
"Oh, you are still so modest, but that is also quite remarkable." Professor Tofty asked curiously, "Can you show it to us?"
"I think it's difficult. After all, there are no werewolves here."
"Oh, that's a pity. I heard that the difficulty of restoring the human form spell is quite high." Professor Tofty was a little disappointed.
"Okay, Tofty, there are still many students taking the Defense Against the Dark Arts exam." Professor Marchbank gave Albert an excellent and signaled that he could leave.
The content of the ancient magic rune test on Friday directly stumped the other students, because everyone needed to translate an article without any auxiliary tools.
For most students, this is undoubtedly a disaster. Most students only have a vague understanding of ancient magic. Perhaps they can use the "Runic Dictionary", "Magic Symbol Collection" and "Magic Pronunciation Table" to read and translate ancient magic, but without auxiliary tools, it is absolutely impossible to translate smoothly, even if the content of the article to be translated is very simple.
Of course, this was not a problem for Albert. It only took him ten minutes to complete the translation of the ancient magic code, hand in the paper and leave.
"Except Albert, no one can complete the translation without auxiliary tools. We are not experts in this field. Do they expect us to be able to see the ancient magic patterns at a glance?"
Shanna often complained about the content of the ancient magic rune exam. The lack of auxiliary tools made the other candidates confused and seriously undermined everyone's confidence.
There is no way. It takes a long time to translate articles normally, let alone exams.
Therefore, there are very few wizards who are truly good at ancient magic runes, and there are not many jobs that require proficiency in ancient magic runes.
"You are very good at it yourself." Lee Jordan raised his eyebrows and said, "I remember you also published a book about ancient magic runes."
“That’s because it’s necessary.”
"need?"
"Because some ancient documents are recorded in ancient magic words. If you want to fully understand them, you have to master them. Some ancient spells also require the use of ancient magic words. If you want to master them, you have to know ancient magic words."
"The reason you master ancient magic runes is really..."
No one knew what to say.
"Dumbledore is also an expert in ancient runes."
"What about Arithmancy?" Shanna asked curiously, "Don't tell me, because you are better at math."
"In terms of arithmetic divination, I actually prefer probability," Albert said. "For example, I can estimate the probability of an event happening and speculate whether it will happen."
"So, you always get a lot of things right?" Lee Jordan asked with wide eyes.
"Yes, that's probably it." Albert admitted directly, "So, a lot of the time, I'm actually guessing."
Everyone was shocked by the truth.
Is it okay if I guessed it right
"For divination, apart from the things related to myself, you may have a premonition. For the rest, you have to stare at the crystal ball yourself. I don't have so much time."
"So, when you told Harry last time that Umbridge was definitely doomed, it was just a guess?" Lee Jordan asked with a complicated expression.
"It's normal for Umbridge to be ruined, because Harry interfered with the matter forcefully, causing her to be abandoned by the Ministry of Magic." Albert said as a matter of course, "After being abandoned, it's natural that she's ruined. The Ministry of Magic must give everyone an explanation, and Umbridge is the unlucky one, and she can also appease the emotions of the savior."
"If Harry hadn't accepted the interview, would the Ministry of Magic have given up on Umbridge?" Angelina asked with her eyes wide open.
"Probably not. The Ministry of Magic would probably pretend to suspend Umbridge for an investigation, and after the incident was over, Umbridge would still continue to work at the Ministry of Magic." Albert explained, "But Harry stood up and made a big fuss about it, causing the Ministry of Magic to no longer be able to cover it up, and had to give the public an explanation, so Umbridge had to be abandoned."
"That's disgusting, no wonder you don't want to work at the Ministry."
"Anderson, Dumbledore asked you to go to the principal's office before eight tomorrow morning." Nearly Headless Nick floated over and said to Albert.
"What's up?"
"It seems that the Umbridge case is about to go to court. You need to attend the trial as a substitute for the Wizengamot." Nick explained, "Remember to change into your clothes."
"That's great news," muttered Lee Jordan.
"I still have to find Potter. It seems he's been asked to appear in court as a witness." Nick turned and floated away to inform Harry of this.
"It seems that Umbridge is really finished." Angelina sighed, "Perhaps, she will really be imprisoned in Azkaban for life."
"It's difficult. This time, at most you'll be locked up for a few years." Albert shook his head.
"But didn't you predict that Umbridge would die in Azkaban prison?" Lee Jordan asked puzzled.
"Yes, but not this time."
“Will there be a next time?”
"I think after the You-Know-Who takes control of the situation, he will definitely release the prisoners in Azkaban and make them his minions." Albert whispered his speculation. "Umbridge knows the Ministry of Magic well, and she is the Deputy Minister. She is evil to the core, and she also knows some Death Eaters. She will definitely be given an important position."
"So, when the You-Know-Who is defeated by Harry and Umbridge is thrown into Azkaban again, she will have to spend the rest of her life there?" Lee Jordan understood what Albert meant.
