"When you have time, you should take a good look at the education order hanging on the notice wall instead of coming to complain to me about these problems. Even if you come to complain to me, I can't help you solve the problem. If you have any questions, please directly
Go to the Senior Investigator, she has that power. If you want to plead with our Senior Investigator to lift the ban on Potter and the Weasley brothers, I suggest you take the time to re-select new team members."
Faced with the Quidditch captain's request for help, Professor McGonagall spoke very calmly. She also knew Angelina's difficulties, but Professor McGonagall really had no choice. Even though Toad was in a miserable state recently, she was still a senior investigator. Everyone is here
It will not violate the laws of the Ministry of Magic.
Therefore, Angelina's attempt is destined to be fruitless.
"See you later!" After Fred said hello to Albert, he chased Angelina and disappeared at the end of the corridor.
"Albert, wait a moment."
When Albert looked away from the end of the corridor and was about to go to the ancient magic pattern classroom, Cedric appeared from behind and walked side by side on the corridor, attracting the attention of many girls.
"Is something wrong?" Albert asked.
"I've been in some trouble lately."
Cedric raised his hand and pointed towards the corner on the right, and the two of them turned into the empty classroom with no one nearby.
"Why, Qiu is breaking up with you?" Albert teased.
"No, our relationship is very good." Cedric immediately shook his head.
"Then when will you get married?" Albert continued to ask.
"Marry?" Cedric was a little embarrassed.
"Or are you just going to play the love game?" Albert continued to tease the embarrassed Cedric.
"Of course not." Cedric said doubtfully, "But... isn't it too early to think about getting married now?"
"It's not too late. If you find someone you like, you should cherish it."
"you're right."
Cedric seemed to be seriously considering the possibility of marrying Cho Chang, but was completely led astray by Albert.
"Tell me, what do you want from me?"
"Ahem, I almost led you astray. It's Umbridge's business. I think you should also know about DA!" Cedric looked around, and after making sure no one was around, he lowered his voice and said, "I
It is suspected that Umbridge already knows about the DA and is preparing to take action."
"Didn't the matter of Dumbledore's Army already cause a stir before?" Albert didn't care about DA's exposure.
"No, you know what I want to say?" Cedric shook his head.
"She doubts you?" Albert raised his eyebrows slightly, probably guessing what was going on.
"I don't know, but I received a letter from home. It probably told me to pay attention to safety and not to confront Umbridge, otherwise I would be expelled and ruin my future." Cedric said after receiving this letter.
, I guessed the reason, it was simply Umbridge putting pressure on her father.
"But, how could the toad suspect you?" Albert was very confused. Cedric didn't seem to be related to DA.
"Maybe a Slytherin student saw the "Self-Defense Guide" you gave me and told Umbridge." Cedric was a little annoyed. He didn't expect that, "I'm worried..."
Cedric didn't finish what he said, but the meaning was already obvious.
"Worried that Umbridge will cause trouble for you?"
"Yes, that woman is really good at certain things..."
Cedric disliked Umbridge very much, but he was also helpless on certain things, just like other professors, so he chose to seek help from Albert.
Otherwise, once exposed, you will have to bear the price of betraying DA.
"If Umbridge targets you, it will indeed be a problem." Albert nodded to show that he understood Cedric's concerns, "That guy will do whatever it takes to achieve his goal."
"what do I do?"
"Whenever Toad invites you to drink tea, you have to be careful. God knows whether she will add a few drops of... magic potion to your drink."
"No way!" Cedric opened his mouth blankly, "It is illegal to use Veritaserum on others. She is the deputy minister, so she shouldn't..."
"Who knows?" Albert reminded: "There has always been a saying in the magical world that as long as it is not discovered, it is not illegal."
"What's more, she is also the deputy minister and Fudge's right-hand man."
"In order to achieve certain goals, do something illegal. As long as no one mentions it, that's it. Don't forget those damn education orders. Do you think Fudge would prefer to find something to do with Dumbledore, or find someone to blame?
Umbridge’s trouble with her meritorious deeds?”
"You're right." Cedric looked around and asked in a low voice, "How did you solve this problem?"
He did not forget that Albert had also gone to Umbridge's place for tea several times.
"this is very simple."
Albert directly gave three solutions.
"You can find someone to cause trouble for her, or make Umbridge forget about it, or bring some Veritaserum antidote with you."
Cedric vaguely guessed how Albert solved Umbridge's trouble.
However, he has never used the Oblivion Curse, and God knows what will happen if he uses it on Umbridge.
"Do you have an antidote to Veritaserum?" Cedric asked after hesitating for a moment.
"There is half a bottle left, I can give you some." Albert did not refuse. He knew that if Cedric encountered Veritaserum, he would probably get into big trouble.
"Do you think we should ask everyone to stop DA activities?" Cedric frowned and said, "Umbridge will definitely continue to investigate if she wants to cause trouble for Dumbledore."
"If you can convince them, I have no objection." Albert didn't care, but he didn't think Cedric could succeed.
"That guy is really annoying. If you have a way to drive her away someday, remember to let me know." Cedric stretched out his hand and waved his fist a few times, wanting to punch the toad's face.
Before leaving, Cedric did not forget to say: "Please tell Weasley and the others about this for me, and ask them to remind Potter and be more vigilant."
"I will."
Albert took out his pocket watch and looked at the time and found that he was going to be late.
…
"Where have you been? I haven't seen you all afternoon."
In the evening, as soon as Albert returned to the common room, he saw Lee Jordan greeting him with a smile. Fred and George were sitting in the corner playing with their boxes, which were filled with various joke props.
George was holding a piece of paper, and Fred was handing out dung bombs and stink bombs to everyone. The things in the box were gadgets they used to deal with Umbridge, many of which were jokes developed by the twins themselves.
Props, such as roaring balls, screaming frogs, etc.
Of course, many students like to supplement their class with fast-acting skipping candy. No one likes Umbridge's classes. If they can skip classes, that would be great.
"Teaching Luna, you forgot about her." Albert raised his eyebrows to remind George that he spent some time in the library to answer some of Luna's questions about maintaining the Wizard Card Club.
"If you want her to be a suitable successor, you have to invest more time and energy in her."
"There are so many things that need to be busy recently that I forgot about this." Lee Jordan has indeed been too busy recently. In addition to covering for the Weasley twins, he also has to spread various rumors and win over
More students who hate Umbridge come together to deal with her.
Nowadays, the anti-toad alliance is very popular in schools because no one wants a toad to become the principal. It would be a nightmare.
"It's a pity that we still haven't been able to kick Umbridge out of Hogwarts School." Fred said regretfully.
"There's no way you can drive her away."
Albert recognized everyone's efforts, but did not think they would succeed. It was obviously impossible for Umbridge to be scared away like this, unless she was seriously injured and hospitalized.
"Last time, Harry proposed turning Umbridge into a toad." George came over and said, "Let her disappear completely, and then all problems will be solved."
"This is not a good idea." Albert shook his head and rejected the proposal. To be honest, he was still relatively opposed to killing people, and he was relatively opposed to letting a few people kill people.
As a last resort, he would rather let Umbridge accidentally become the next Lockhart and let her live "happily" forever, rather than kill her.
"You can spread rumors and say that Dumbledore has a training base in the Forbidden Forest where they train their troops." Albert said without thinking: "Let the toad and the Acromantula harm each other!"
"Do you think the toad would believe it?"
Lee Jordan felt that this plan was very unreliable, because the toad's belief may be very low.
"Isn't there Dumbledore's Army in the school?" Albert reminded, "Those Acromantulas were created by Hagrid. Dumbledore can give orders to Hagrid, and indirectly order that group of Acromantulas."
Something’s wrong!”
"This kind of rumor doesn't sound very reliable." Lee Jordan frowned again.
"Rumors are inherently unreliable. It doesn't matter if toads don't believe them when they are spread. Anyway, as long as everyone believes them, it will be fine." George unscrupulously agreed with Albert's plan. "Fudge might definitely send someone over to take a look. As for the answer,
What happens down there is none of our business, and what’s more, even if they don’t believe it, we won’t suffer any loss.”
"Having the Ministry of Magic get rid of those big spiders can be considered a good thing for the students of Hogwarts." Fred also supported Albert's suggestion. He had not forgotten that he was almost eaten by a spider.
And this plan is actually very simple, it is nothing more than spreading more rumors.
The three of them are actually very good at spreading rumors, and they have done that a lot in recent months.
If you talk about rumors too much, even if you don't believe it, you will have doubts. Suspicion is enough. Umbridge, who is eager to catch Dumbledore, will definitely pay attention to it, and by then she will naturally take the bait.
"are you OK!"
Albert did not participate in the discussion between the three of them and looked at Angelina who looked tired.
"No, very bad," Angelina pulled off her cloak listlessly and glared reproachfully at Fred and George.
"We found a substitute." Aria said sadly,
"But...it can only be regarded as very reluctant." Katie muttered.
"They just lack experience. You can't expect everyone to be a Quidditch genius." Albert comforted.
"You are the least qualified to do this." Angelina gave Albert a hard look and said impatiently, "If you are willing, we can save a lot of trouble, at least we can have higher possibilities in subsequent games.
Win.”
"You know, I'm very busy and don't have time to train." Albert said nonchalantly.
"Who are the substitutes?" Fred asked curiously.
"The new Seeker is your sister Ginny," Angelina said dissatisfied: "She flies well. She was originally a substitute for the Chaser, but since we can't find a more suitable Seeker, we can only
Let her take charge first."
Angelina suspected that Albert recommended Ginny to her because he was worried that she would let him play ball.
That must be it!
"Andrew Kirk and Jack Sloper are the new substitute batsmen." Alia was a little depressed, "They are both a little slow, but they are better than other woods. They are the best batsmen we can currently find.
"
"Ron's condition has not been very good. The last game was a big blow to him." Angelina found a chair to sit down and complained: "I really doubt how I can lead everyone to win the championship."
Victory in the Digi Game.”
The Gryffindor team could no longer survive, which is why Angelina went to find Professor McGonagall.
The first Ron was enough, but now there were three new players. Angelina couldn't believe how she was able to win with three oil bottles.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "How about discussing with other teams and giving up the Quidditch game?" Lee Jordan secretly glanced at Angelina who looked exhausted.
, suggested.
Not only him, but also others are not optimistic about the current team.
Everyone knew exactly how bad Ron's performance was. But Angelina still patiently taught each other because they all knew that as long as they could help Ron overcome his nervousness and rebuild his confidence, they would get a passing grade.
's goalkeeper.
Now there are two more batsmen who are holding us back. As for Ginny, she can only barely stop everyone from holding them back.
Angelina was silent.
To be honest, she didn't want to give up, even if Gryffindor lost miserably in the end. If she didn't play Quidditch for one semester, it would be hard for her to imagine how she would join the team after graduation.
However, today's training almost made her emotionally collapse. Angelina seemed to have seen the disastrous defeat in the second game.
"Let me calm down. By the way, Albert, I have something to ask you. Shall we go over there to talk?"
"You want me to predict whether you'll join a certain Quidditch club?"
"right."
After confirming that Angelina came to him to prophesy, Albert was a little surprised, but he seemed to be expecting it.
"If you want to join the Quidditch club, I think there should be no problem. After all, there are too many Quidditch teams in the UK and Ireland. The new students at Hogwarts every year are not enough to replenish their fresh blood. They always need
There are new members joining, at least reserve members, but..."
"You haven't predicted it yet." Angelina looked at Albert, "This is just your guess."
"Yes, there is no need to predict some things. I am more curious about whether you will join the Quidditch team. After all, after we graduate from school, the British wizarding world will not be peaceful. Moreover, I can't guarantee that whether you can join will make the world more peaceful.
A team that you are satisfied with.”
"Okay, thank you, Albert." Angelina turned and walked away.
"What does she want from you?" Fred, George and Lee Jordan appeared out of nowhere.
"Angelina wants me to help her predict whether she can join the Quidditch club after graduation and become a professional Quidditch player." Albert explained to several people.
"The results of it?"
I think there is no problem joining. If she really plays Quidditch, there is always a team that she can join. Your sister Ginny should also choose to become a professional Quidditch player, but girls become professional Quidditch players.
Your career will not be too long.
"Why?" Lee Jordan asked curiously.
"Why? Because they always get married!" Albert said matter-of-factly: "They always have to make choices between family and career. This is a problem that many girls will encounter."
"That's a problem," Fred muttered.
"Oh, by the way, Cedric asked me to tell you something."
"What's up?"
Umbridge seems to have her eye on DA.
"We know." The three of them said in unison.
"No, you don't know." Albert reminded the three people who looked so unconcerned, "If she wants to find clues, she will definitely use unscrupulous methods."
"For example?" Li Jordan raised his eyebrows.
"Veritaserum."
"So, you think the toad might..."
"It's not a possibility, it's a certainty, if the toad really makes up his mind."
