The next morning, the castle hall of Hogwarts was extremely lively. Everyone was whispering about the "Toad Mark" last night. People also found words such as "Anti-Toad Alliance" scrawled on the wall near the foyer, which directly detonated
aroused people's curiosity.
Many students thought it was Fred and George who did it. They were also shocked by the twins' boldness, but they were all secretly happy. Because Fred and George did something they had never dared to do, many people were eager to join in.
In the confrontation with Umbridge, people are still keen to discuss these things, although they are still only verbal.
Some students tried to get more detailed information from Albert. They even speculated that Albert might be involved. Otherwise, where would Fred and George have the courage and confidence to confront Umbridge?
In fact, as long as you have a normal mind, you can guess it by thinking on your knees.
Take the toad statue at the entrance of the foyer, for example. Even the Ministry of Magic's Curse Breaking Team couldn't destroy it. If it is taken away, it is not difficult to see how high the magic level of the person who created the toad statue is.
Obviously it is not something that Fred and George can do. It can only be done by Albert, and it can only be him, because the professors in the school obviously will not do such a thing.
What surprised everyone the most was that the school didn't react much to this, and Umbridge miraculously skipped all Defense Against the Dark Arts classes in the morning.
Only later did everyone know the reason.
It turned out that Umbridge was actually hung upside down on the Quidditch pitch last night using a spell. The wind blew all night long. In the end, it was Snape who personally rescued her. Now their new headmaster is in the school hospital.
Lying down.
This is undoubtedly a provocation to Umbridge.
What made everyone even more excited was that the vulgar words "Umbridge eats shit" were written in 5-foot-long letters on the Quidditch pitch.
And their administrator, Mr., is also worried about the graffiti on the walls. Even Mrs. Skoll's all-purpose magic stain remover can't completely clean up those damn graffiti.
This small victory angered Umbridge, and Ginny and Ron were immediately summoned by Umbridge for questioning.
On the same day, Umbridge also suddenly led people into the Gryffindor common room and raided Albert's dormitory, trying to catch Fred and George on the spot.
However, Umbridge was destined to gain nothing, because Fred and George's cupboards were already empty, as if they had really dropped out of school early.
"You are very rude. You must at least knock on the door before coming in."
After Albert moved the chess piece to check Lee Jordan, he raised his head and looked at the group of people pouring into the room, his tone was like he was teaching a group of rude children.
"Where are they?" Umbridge asked angrily.
"Who knows? Maybe they moved overnight." Albert bent down and picked up Tom, walking outside. "If you want to search, please do it, but don't damage my things, otherwise... I haven't...
decided."
"I really don't understand what you are doing?" Lee Jordan raised his hand and knocked his head, sarcastically saying, "Fred and George are not fools, how could they wait for you to arrest them?"
The two people left the dormitory under the glare of the investigation team, but more people glared at the team.
There is no way, whoever lets the Slytherin investigation team go to the Gryffindor common room will naturally arouse the glare and dissatisfaction of the Gryffindor students, even if Umbridge and Filch are suppressing them.
When they were proud Slytherin students, everyone still wanted to kill them.
search?
This is just a step up. Only idiots do that, deliberately making other people's rooms a mess. Do you really think Albert has no temper?
Umbridge just looked at it carefully, and after confirming that Fred and George had moved away, she turned around and left angrily.
"What a bad temper." Albert said to himself as he looked at the backs of the group of people leaving.
"I feel like I'm half angry with you."
After everyone else left, a familiar voice suddenly came from the side.
"Nonsense, why am I angry with her? It's obviously because of her poor upbringing." Albert returned to the room holding the cat, and soon heard a sound coming from the stairs.
The anger accumulated in the hearts of the Gryffindor students finally exploded when Umbridge and her group were about to leave. It was unknown who attacked the investigation team, causing Goyle's toenails to grow wildly.
This directly triggered a conflict between the two sides. In the melee, the members of the investigation team were naturally defeated by the Gryffindor students and were knocked down by a group of people using stun spells.
Thanks to the gathering with Da, many students have mastered common dueling spells such as the Iron Armor Curse and the Stunning Curse.
"It's really unlucky. They must have caused me to lose to Albert." Lee Jordan raised his foot and kicked Montague's butt and complained.
"Don't make excuses for yourself, unless Albert plays the whole game, you can't win." Angelina complained.
"What should I say, do you know?"
He bent down to pick up the wand on the ground and looked at the students participating in the fight.
"Know."
"Then throw them out so they don't stay here and become an eyesore."
The group of guys covered in footprints were finally thrown out from the entrance of the Gryffindor common room, like a large piece of garbage.
When people were celebrating their victory against toads again, Professor McGonagall rushed into the common room angrily and asked them what the hell they were doing.
Everyone pretended not to know anything and not hear anything, as if they didn't know what happened from beginning to end.
"Professor, I was comforting the disturbed cat in the dormitory," Albert said helplessly that he was not there at the time, otherwise he would definitely have come out to stop the atrocity.
As for the cause of this conflict, everyone said that the investigation team acted first, and they first used spells to attack Ron, which triggered this chaos."
"Yes, yes."
Everyone echoed one after another. Anyway, it was the investigation team that made the first move, which made Professor McGonagall so angry that she turned around and left.
"You can't fool Umbridge like this."
Just as Professor McGonagall said, Umbridge did not accept this trick at all. When she calmed down, she waved her hand and put all the students who participated in the fight into solitary confinement, even though many students claimed that they did not understand at all.
After returning to the scene, he still couldn't escape the fate of being imprisoned. In the end, he could only accept Umbridge's punishment on an empty stomach.
Except, of course, Albert.
Because he ignored Umbridge at all. Although this kind of ignorance made Umbridge very angry, Toad finally tolerated it for the time being, because the things she could rely on had no deterrent effect in front of Albert.
There's nothing you can do about Albert.
Unless the two sides completely fell out, but Umbridge didn't want to do that.
Naturally, this matter did not end so easily. In the next few days, new changes occurred in Hogwarts. When everyone went downstairs to eat, they found that there were toad licks posted on the oak doors of the auditorium.
The two paintings of Letling's snake butt and Fudge kneeling and licking the mysterious man's butt looked very vivid and vivid. Umbridge trembled after seeing it, and immediately sent an investigation team to search for the Weasley brothers in the castle.
's whereabouts.
The Weasley brothers, who were being searched hard by the Investigation Team, were currently sitting in the Gryffindor common room, selling joke props and bragging to people about their deeds against Umbridge, and successfully received one item.
Wave's adoring gaze.
"Toad does have people patrolling at night."
"However, the only one she can rely on now is Filch. She is the worst principal I have ever seen."
"No, she's not even a principal."
As for Filch, everyone knows his situation. Although that guy does know a lot of secret passages, as a squib, he is destined to be no match for the wizard, so we used some tricks to trick Filch.
Round and round.
Umbridge didn't dare to get up to patrol at night, so she didn't need to worry about being caught while wandering at night.
"You are actually still in school?"
Harry, Ron and Hermione were all surprised to see Fred and George selling joke props in the common room. They thought the Weasley brothers had quietly left Hogwarts.
"Why are we leaving?" Fred and George asked in unison.
"Mom is going crazy. She is looking for you everywhere." Ron almost threw the envelope in his robe pocket at the twin brothers' faces. He said gloomily, "She also blamed me for not stopping you from running away."
"Don't worry, we just wrote to mother to clarify the matter." Fred comforted her.
"Those guys are looking for you everywhere like crazy." Harry reminded.
"They can't find it."
"Where are you hiding? The Room of Requirement?" Hermione asked curiously
"no."
Fred and George noticed that other students around them were eavesdropping and said with a smile: "Albert has a house in Hogsmeade. We can return to Hogwarts at any time to fight the toad."
"Now someone needs to stand up and stop the toad's experience so that she has no other thoughts to cause trouble. After all, we don't really need the S certificate."
"But……"
"Don't be stupid Hermione, if we don't stand up and take away Toad's time and energy, do you really think she will let Harry go easily?" Fred sneered at this, "That guy really wants to be expelled.
Leigh, kick him out of Hogwarts."
"Fred is right, Toad has always wanted to do that." Harry also admitted this. He believed that Umbridge had always wanted to silence him, discredit him, and kick him out of school.
"What are you going to do?"
"Ai...ahem, we hope to call on more people to drive the toads out." George coughed lightly.
"Our ultimate goal is to unite students from the other three houses and expel Umbridge from Hogwarts." Fred continued to tell everyone about his grand plan, "Umbridge will also be the first A professor who was expelled from Hogwarts will become a celebrity in "Hogwarts: A History of the School," but it will be difficult to succeed."
Because many of them are used to remaining neutral.
"We should go to Albert, he can definitely do it."
So, a group of people ran to find Albert, and by the way, they talked about Umbridge's recent departure.
"Unfortunately, I can't do it. In fact, even Dumbledore would probably have a hard time doing it." Albert was not affected by their passionate emotions, but gave them some suggestions, "You can resist them together. , use the reputation of Fred and George, or the reputation of the Anti-Toad Alliance, and let Fred and George teach you, he is better at these things and knows better how to deal with investigative operations and toads."
In just a few days, the investigation team was sent to the school hospital one after another. Even Umbridge was beaten so hard by an unknown person that her face was swollen. Such atrocities directly shocked the entire city. Gwartz.
The Ministry of Magic urgently intervened in the investigation, but still found nothing, as if the so-called riot at Hogwarts did not exist at all. The Fred and George they suspected were not at Hogwarts at all, at least not in the Room of Requirement. Man, if Fred and George were really hiding in there, no one else could get in.
As for Hogsmeade, the Ministry of Magic did send people to search Hogsmeade village, trying to find Fred and George's hiding place, but they never found the legendary house.
"Didn't you have people search Hogsmeade? Why do you still come to ask me?" Facing Umbridge who ran towards him with murderous intent, Albert said calmly: "And you actually believe it? Don’t you think it’s ridiculous that you came to ask me about such nonsense?”
Fred and George had actually been at Hogwarts all along, in the dormitory where Albert originally lived. However, they were living in the suitcase prepared by Albert, using the laboratory inside to try to create Make more fun of props to prepare for the upcoming store opening. By the way, you can sell them at reduced prices in Hogwarts. While making yourself famous, you can also bring some trouble to Umbridge.
To this end, Umbridge also arranged for reporters from the Daily Prophet to appear at Hogwarts to interview Slytherin students in an attempt to smear Fred and George as vicious students.
However, the ambitious reporter failed in the end because Fudge didn't dare to report it at all. He had to conceal the true situation at Hogwarts as soon as possible to prevent the bad things that Umbridge had done from being completely exposed. They could only A task force was sent to patrol the castle in order to restore calm to Hogwarts. Of course, it was only a weapon on the surface, just to deter the students so that they would not continue to cause trouble for Umbridge.
This "elite" task force from the Ministry of Magic is not elite at all.
The next day, the content of the education order in the foyer was tampered with at some point, and the photo of Umbridge transforming into a toad was enlarged and hung directly in the hall for people to enjoy.
At the same time, a new version of the "Anti-Toad Guide" began to circulate privately in Hogwarts. Fred and George privately taught everyone how to avoid punishment or reduce the punishment when resisting Umbridge. The "Anti-Toad Guide"
"" soon became a must-have popular book for Hogwarts students. After all, everyone has a responsibility to fight against Umbridge.
