After learning that Peeves had actually reached a settlement with Umbridge, Fred, George and Lee Jordan immediately ran to Albert to tell him about Peeves' surrender to Umbridge and discuss the next step.
How to deal with this matter next time.
The three of them believed that Albert, who was very clever, would definitely be able to come up with a better solution.
In this confrontation with Umbridge, their status as students put them at the bottom from the beginning, making it difficult for them to confront Umbridge head-on.
Peeves' existence plays the role of a vanguard in the struggle, which is why they have always been very generous when providing joke props to Peeves.
It is precisely because Peeves is constantly causing trouble for Umbridge that the other party has no extra time and energy to cause trouble for everyone.
Now that Peeves has actually given in and compromised with Umbridge, it is simply unbelievable.
After confirming the news, the three of them all felt bad. They knew very well who Umbridge was. They had offended Umbridge too much before, and they would definitely be angry when Umbridge took some time out.
Coming back with even greater vengeance is what they are most worried about.
"Umbridge was never the principal!" Albert looked at the three people who looked like the sky was about to fall, suppressed a smile at the corner of his mouth, and said something a little incomprehensible.
"You are not the principal, why are you still..." Lee Jordan said depressedly, "I dare say Umbridge will definitely..."
"You mean...it turns out to be like this."
George had already realized what Albert was talking about, and looked at each other with Fred beside him. The two of them already understood what was going on.
"Well, it's probably what you think." Albert did not deny that this matter was related to him.
"You guys, please don't play riddles!" Li Jordan was still confused and couldn't turn his head around for a while.
"Umbridge is not the principal, and the contract she signed with Peeves is actually ineffective." George looked at Albert and excitedly said to Lee Jordan: "So, Peeves can still find Umri.
What a nuisance."
"How come Toad is not the principal?" Lee Jordan was even more confused. "Isn't she the new principal appointed by the Ministry of Magic?"
"The principal of Hogwarts is not appointed by the Ministry of Magic, so Fudge's appointment is actually invalid. If you want to become the principal, you need to be recognized." Albert noticed the doubtful looks cast by the three people and continued to explain: "It's best
The only proof is that Umbridge can't even get into the Headmaster's office."
"Yeah, what qualifications does a toad have to be the principal of Hogwarts?" Lee Jordan looked very excited. They really thought Peeves had compromised with the toad just now.
I didn’t expect that the whole thing was actually caused by Albert!
"But why wouldn't it be better for you to let Peeves pretend to compromise and continue to fight against the toad?" Fred asked his doubts. He was also shocked by the news just now.
"I also feel that we must continue to fight. Compromising will only encourage the arrogance of the toad. That guy will definitely mess up the school next." George seemed to predict what Umbridge would do next.
"Umbridge has been prepared for a long time. Even if we interfere, the situation will only get worse." Albert glanced at the three people who were pretending to be indignant and asked: "Are you planning to drag other students with the Ministry of Magic?
confrontation?"
"I think that's a good idea," Lee Jordan muttered.
"Don't be stupid, that will only make the situation worse." Albert shook his head and rejected this bad idea: "Don't forget, many students' family members are employees of the Ministry of Magic. If we do that, the Ministry of Magic will
Put pressure on them, and then put pressure on the students through their parents."
"Our status as students is destined to suffer a lot, and head-on confrontation is definitely not a good choice." Albert explained, "Of course I don't care, but others can't afford it, so I can just secretly cause her some trouble."
"It's really annoying to see Umbridge being so arrogant and domineering!"
"Don't you always want an opportunity? Now the opportunity you want has come. Prepare well. I think alternative plan 2 will be better." Albert said meaningfully, "The most proud thing about Umbridge is
Then, give her a big surprise."
"Do you want to use option two?"
The three of them looked at each other. Plan 2 was actually a backup plan. They didn't expect Albert to be optimistic about it.
"Those guys will probably cause trouble for you in a few days." Albert reminded the three of them, "Be careful and don't be tricked by others, otherwise you will suffer."
With Peeves' compromise, Umbridge's biggest obstacle to regaining control of Hogwarts was removed, and she began to vigorously rectify the school rules and disciplines at Hogwarts, strictly enforce the previous education orders, and plan to punish a group of people severely.
People, give other students a warning.
Therefore, the unlucky ones who were caught by Umbridge on the spot a few days ago became the chickens to scare the monkeys. They were the first to bear Umbridge's heavy punch. The entire class was locked up in the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom and used Umbridge.
The punishment quill provided by Richie copied "I can't miss school.", which made the back of the student's hand drip with blood.
But it frightened the other students, and no one dared to use instant candy in Defense Against the Dark Arts class again.
In fact, Umbridge couldn't cure the quick-acting truant at all, and the therapists at St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Maladies didn't have many sincere reasons to help her after they figured out the situation.
Next, Umbridge would ask people for questioning almost every day. Especially those students who had problems detected by the therapists last time. They were asked to reveal the source of those strange symptoms. However, everyone still claimed that they had the disease.
"Umbridge Syndrome" and paid the price.
The sick students were no longer allowed to leave the classroom, making Defense Against the Dark Arts a mess every time.
However, the students' resistance was met with brutal suppression.
Confinement, confinement, confinement!
Having to use a punishment quill to write every time they are locked up makes some students afraid to cause trouble in Defense Against the Dark Arts classes. The number of students suffering from various symptoms in class has also dropped sharply, and some people have found that quick-acting skipping sugar can't help
After helping them skip class, they no longer try to use them to skip class.
Umbridge has undoubtedly achieved great success. She adopted the simplest and crudest method to successfully scare the students at Hogwarts, scaring them away from using quick-acting sugar candies and directly eliminating the problem at its source.
This trick actually took advantage of the students' weakness. If everyone continued to fight with Umbridge, the new principal would have no choice.
When everyone is resisting her, even the principal has to get out.
Everyone's weakness made Umbridge intensify her efforts and began to speed up her control of Hogwarts. During this period, she issued new education orders and continued to encourage students to report the illegal behavior of students around them.
As a result, the number of reports against Slytherin students increased, but Umbridge turned a blind eye to it. On the contrary, the investigation team's reports were well received by Umbridge, and with Umbridge's help and support,
The members of the investigative action team who had been severely retaliated against had also re-launched retaliatory actions.
The DA members headed by Harry were successively investigated and detained by Umbridge because someone reported that they had many illegal gatherings. Umbridge even planned to take this opportunity to find an excuse to expel Harry Potter.
What surprised everyone was that no one came forward to report Harry.
Yes, no one.
Umbridge was disappointed
So, a famous Slytherin student stood up.
This incident instantly became the laughing stock of the entire Hogwarts, because the DA party has never admitted a Slytherin student from the beginning. How did this Slytherin student testify? I'm afraid he committed perjury!
After all this fuss, everyone knew that Umbridge was going to use this dirty trick to drive Harry away.
In the end, Umbridge did not do that, and only locked up Harry Potter, trying to find a breakthrough.
Unfortunately, her efforts were doomed to fail.
As for the use of Veritaserum, Snape made it clear that the stock of Veritaserum has been used up by Umbridge, and if you want it, you need to wait a month.
Umbridge was very angry about this, but there was nothing she could do about it.
Veritaserum is a contraband in the wizarding world. Even if it can be purchased on the black market, the cost is astonishingly high and it may not be available. Even if she is the deputy minister, she would not dare to be so blatant.
…
"Ever since she returned, Hogwarts Castle has given me a depressing feeling, as if this is not a school but a prison."
Zannah and Albert walked side by side on the way to the library, and the two casually chatted about the recent changes in the castle: "That guy is getting worse and worse. I very much suspect that she is trying to use this method to make people fear her."
"Toad is indeed a very controlling woman. She has always wanted to completely control Hogwarts, and even believes that anyone who challenges her authority and anyone who opposes her and does not conform to her three views should be punished," Albert said.
This is not surprising, Umbridge is indeed annoying, even hateful.
"You know her very well!" Shanna couldn't help but smile bitterly.
She actually agreed with what Albert said. Umbridge had indeed done a lot of bad things recently.
"Umbridge overlooked one thing." Albert said suddenly.
"What's going on?" Shanna asked curiously.
"She is still the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. That position is unlucky. I don't think the curse of Defense Against the Dark Arts can be broken so easily by her. Otherwise, there would be no need to change professors every year for decades." Albert seemed to be watching.
When it came to Umbridge's subsequent tragic fate, her tenure as Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts before Voldemort's death did not end well.
"I just hope she gets out of here!" Shanna sighed: "I'm worried that the next exam will be affected. Those guys never take students seriously. The ultimate wizard exam is almost the most important thing in students' lives.
graduation exam."
"It's not as bad as you think."
"Of course it doesn't matter to you." Shanna couldn't help rolling her eyes at Albert, "You no longer need a broken certificate to prove yourself, that thing is just like that to you."
Albert didn't refute it. The actual situation was indeed like that. He didn't need a certificate to prove his level at all.
Just when they were about to enter the library, they saw Lee Jordan running over panting, holding his knees with his hands, and panting: "It's not good!"
"What's going on?" Albert asked, raising his eyebrows.
"Fred and George were caught by members of the investigation team for selling joke props to the students." Lee Jordan gasped: "They were locked up in the dungeon by Filch, and they seemed to have been whipped several times."
"They are really careless." Albert shook his head. He remembered that he had reminded them just a few days ago.
"You can't blame them. Those bastards... the investigation team attacked them secretly." Lee Jordan said angrily, "Otherwise, even they wouldn't be..."
"It's normal, isn't it?" Albert's words made Lee Jordan a little confused.
"Is it normal?"
"Don't you often do that?" Albert said speechlessly. He felt that many people actually have double standards, and the most important thing is that it was started by a few of them.
Lee Jordan was immediately speechless.
"Okay, it won't help if you are angry here. Now let them suffer a little and teach them a lesson." Albert's tone was very calm, as if it was just a trivial matter.
After speaking, Albert took Lee Jordan towards the dungeon.
When he arrived at the dungeon, he found that both Fred and George were suspended from the ceiling by chains.
"well enough!"
Albert's voice suddenly sounded in the dungeon.
"I knew you wouldn't give up on us." George said excitedly, as if he touched the wound and slightly bared his teeth.
Fred next to him complained angrily, "That pervert Filch whipped us hard several times. I must let him taste what it feels like to be whipped hard."
"Have you thought about it?"
Albert took out his wand and shook it lightly, and the chains that locked the two of them opened automatically, and even the wounds on their bodies left by the whip gradually healed.
Fred and George exchanged glances, nodded towards Albert and said, "Start tonight!"
"We plan to start the hide-and-seek game with Umbridge tonight, and we have to give Filch and Toad some surprises." Fred said, rubbing his wrist.
"Are you really planning to fight guerrillas?"
"Yes, we plan to join forces with Peeves to form a mischievous trio."
"No, we should call the anti-toad guerrillas to show Umbridge some color." Fred and George said firmly.
"What are you going to do?" Lee Jordan asked curiously.
"First, suppress Umbridge's arrogance a little and call on everyone to resist the toad." George briefly explained his plan, "Then, leave Hogwarts at the critical moment."
"Where are you hiding? The Room of Requirement?" Lee Jordan asked curiously.
"Actually, you can also go back to the dormitory. Umbridge would never think of it." Albert said suddenly.
"Before that, we need a Marauder's Map. I know you will definitely have a way to get another one." Fred and George looked at Albert together. They need a new Marauder's Map to fight against Umri.
