There was a burst of noise in the auditorium because of Umbridge's words, and Professor McGonagall stood up angrily at the teacher's table.
"Professor Umbridge! I don't think there's anything wrong with the way I handled it!"
Umbridge turned back and clasped her hands together, nodded slightly, and said in a disgusting tone: "Of course, Professor McGonagall, but I think it is still a little unfair - the minister told me that I can deal with Huo Hua as appropriate.
Professor Dumbledore has not expressed any objection to the affairs within Gwarts School."
After saying that, she turned her head and looked at Osman and Jollison.
"The story of what happened is very clear, so I won't go into details. Obviously, it is a very irrational and stupid act to engage in a curse-fighting fight in Hogwarts. For this, both of you will be punished."
"Mr. Jollison," Umbridge looked at the Gryffindor students first, "you will be in confinement for two weeks because of this incident. You will be required to clean the first floor after classes every afternoon.
to the bathroom on the fourth floor. And every weekend night, you have to come to my office to receive another little punishment."
Jollison's breathing suddenly became heavy, but in the end he held back his voice.
"And you, Mr. Osman," Umbridge looked at the Snake Yard, "you are also in confinement for two weeks, and you are cleaning the bathroom in the Slytherin common room."
With a gloomy look on his face, Osman waited for the next step, and then he was surprised to find that Umbridge stopped talking.
That's it?
Dissatisfied voices resounded in the auditorium.
There are only two bathrooms in the Hogwarts common room, and most students solve personal hygiene problems in the bathroom near the classroom and the fixed public bathroom.
From the first floor to the fourth floor of the castle, Slytherin's common room, the workload in these two places is completely different!
And Osman doesn’t even need to receive special punishment?!
This is totally differential treatment!
Jollison showed an expression of incredible anger, and he couldn't help but said: "He was the one who was rude to my family first!"
Umbridge looked at him with a fake smile: "No, no, no, Mr. Jollison, you have to understand one thing. As young people, I can understand your arrogance. It is normal to have some quarrels. But who goes first?
Whoever takes action should bear a more severe punishment!"
On the other side, Osman showed a proud smile of a winner.
Umbridge completely ignored this. Instead, she lowered her head and checked Jollison's information: "Fifth grade, in the final exam last semester, I only got an excellent in one subject, and the others were all good, tsk tsk, even potions.
I didn’t pass the class.”
As she said that, she deliberately showed an expression as if she had suddenly realized something: "Born into a Muggle family... Well, Mr. Jollison, instead of worrying about your parents' situation, you should worry about your own studies first."
This attitude directly made Jollison angry: "Madam, please pay attention to your words, you are discriminating against wizards from Muggle families!"
Umbridge covered her mouth and laughed: "I bet you didn't read the order posted on the notice board, Mr. Jollison. Because of your slander against the senior investigator of the Ministry of Magic, the punishment time has been extended for another week. By the way,
No magic is allowed."
"you!"
The Gryffindor students grabbed Jollison, who looked unhappy. If anything, he might have to deal with the bathroom all semester, although there was anger in their eyes.
Umbridge directly ignored Jollison. She turned to look at Osman, and her words were much more cordial: "Mr. Osman, please complete your confinement well. I believe that an excellent wizard like you will not let me down."
——If you complete it well, I will reduce your punishment as appropriate."
Osman nodded proudly: "Yes, madam."
"Very good, then this matter has been dealt with, and the justice of Hogwarts has been upheld again - please continue to enjoy breakfast, and remember not to be late."
After saying that, Umbridge left the Great Hall proudly - she only eats the food she brought recently.
As soon as she left, there was an explosion in the auditorium. Umbridge was already nakedly favoring the pure-bloods. Jollison, who was born as a Muggle, was obviously treated unfairly!
On the long Slytherin table, Osman sneered and raised his eyebrows provocatively at Jollison, then sat down easily and chatted happily with his friends.
"Umbridge, this is discrimination!" Hermione said angrily.
"But she didn't show it directly. It was indeed Jollison who took action at that time, and the Ministry of Magic, which can sanction Umbridge, obviously would not respond." Sean said lightly.
This is obviously not something a fool like Umbridge could come up with, and it most likely came from little Aiken.
He did not choose to divide the students as Umbridge had done before, but chose to stimulate the existing contradiction-the wizarding blood.
Even though in today's wizarding society, wizards from Muggle families and pure-blood wizards enjoy the same rights on the surface, the reality is that there has always been a conflict between these two groups.
The small society of Hogwarts is naturally no exception. When the already disadvantaged wizards from Muggle families suffer such unfair treatment, their emotions will be infinitely magnified.
For Slytherin and some pure-blood wizards in other colleges, this kind of treatment is something they like to see.
After all, human beings are selfish animals, and spirit can unite people, but interests are what most people are good at pursuing - those with vested interests will not give up their privileges easily.
The Hogwarts students who were originally united because of Sean's operation, in just these few minutes, collective rifts have appeared.
And this rift comes from a natural contradiction, and it cannot be made up by Sean through some means.
Hermione was so angry that she couldn't even eat breakfast. She crossed her arms angrily and couldn't help complaining: "What on earth is Professor Dumbledore doing? Why don't you stop Umbridge?!"
Who knows what Dumbledore is planning...
Sean shook his head and began to think about the next countermeasures.
Throughout the next day, Jollison continued to express his dissatisfaction to his classmates because of Umbridge's unfair treatment. In the afternoon, after a Charms class in the fifth grade, Umbridge
Qi took little Aiken and waited in the corridor.
She reprimanded Jollison again in the name of "for your own good" and almost provoked the boy to take action directly.
Then, she deliberately picked on several people. Although she couldn't directly imprison them, she still gave those students a good scolding because their robes were baggy.
Those students are all from Muggle families.
What was a sharp difference was that several Slytherin students, including Osman, laughed at him.
As a result, Umbridge not only did not reprimand them, but also praised them for their excellent performance in class - those few people had never even received extra points from Professor Flitwick.
"You are responsible for the future of the magical world, don't let me down." She said this to a group of pure-bloods, and then left ignoring the other students.
Although he was beaten up by Sean and poisoned by Snape, a senior investigator of the Ministry of Magic still has weight.
Many pure-blood students have taken the initiative to draw boundaries with some of their classmates because of the importance of big shots - they originally looked down on these mudbloods.
In just one day, the atmosphere of unity created by Sean was already on the verge of falling apart.
There were already words of dissatisfaction among Gryffindor students.
"What are those Slytherin guys so proud of?"
"You are so arrogant that it makes you sick to watch."
"Mud always likes to mix with toads."
Sean, on the other hand, approached Malfoy alone.
Being alone in a room with Sean, a violent maniac, still made Malfoy a little nervous. He maintained the demeanor of a young master, but his voice was not as confident.
"What are you doing with me?"
"Draco," Sean put his arm around Malfoy's shoulders rather intimately, "We are friends, there is no need to be so nervous."
Seeing the sincerity in Sean's eyes, Malfoy finally relaxed a little. He glanced at Sean and muttered.
"I know what you want me to do, but it's not realistic. You should understand."
"No, Draco, I want to ask you a question." Sean smiled.
"What?"
Sean sat down, crossed his hands, and stared into Malfoy's eyes: "Draco, do you look down on the mudblood you call him?"
This question troubled Malfoy. He hesitated a little and subconsciously intertwined his fingers.
It would be a lie to say that there is no discrimination. He has been taught this since he was a child - pure bloods are born noble, especially the ancient Malfoy family.
If you want to talk about discrimination, you might be beaten by the boy in front of you who smiles very kindly...
Moreover, if you ask yourself, Malfoy's inner thoughts are actually somewhat shaken.
The Sean in front of him, although he comes from a Muggle family, is already far more outstanding than Malfoy imagined.
His grades are pretty good in the academy, but what about him?
He can control magical animals that even his father can't deal with, and there are endless difficult spells, and even his financial resources are not inferior to his own...
Sean has reputation, ability, and friends - the few friends around him, although Malfoy hates them to the extreme, but if you really want to say it, they are much better than Goyle and Crabbe.
Sometimes he would toss and turn in bed unable to sleep. They were both wizards, but Crabbe and Goyle were obviously of nobler blood. Why was there such a big gap?
Malfoy felt that he actually admired Sean a little bit... a wizard from a Muggle family, and even envied him a little.
Looking at Malfoy who was silent, Sean smiled: "I think I already know the answer."
"No, Sean, listen to me..." Malfoy hesitated.
Sean waved his hands indifferently: "For me, this is not a problem."
