Chapter 1108 Only routines can win people's hearts
The news that Umbridge was sentenced to life imprisonment has spread quickly in the wizarding world through the Daily Prophet, but it has not caused any waves. People are indifferent to what Umbridge has done, and they are more worried about the biggest threat at the moment.
Question: Voldemort.
Since the third Azkaban escape incident, Voldemort and the Death Eaters are still at large, but the Ministry of Magic has never been able to come up with effective countermeasures. Everyone is in danger, and there is no time to care about Um.
Richie's thing.
Perhaps the biggest repercussion brought about by the news of Umbridge's trial is that many people feel that the current Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge, should also be thrown into the court trial, and Fudge should be given veritaserum to find out who he is.
He was not Voldemort's minion, and everything he did was to buy time for Voldemort.
In the eyes of most wizards, the Minister of Magic who did nothing was indeed suspicious, especially since he was holding back Dumbledore, causing him to miss the best opportunity to attack Voldemort.
Everyone suspected that Fudge was Voldemort's minion, and they really did not accuse him unjustly.
When the entire magical world was clamoring for Fudge to step down, the former Minister of Magic was completely panicked and didn't know what to do, because he might be taken to court at any time and become the first person in history to be tried.
Minister of Magic.
In contrast, the Hogwarts students who were busy preparing for the final exams were more concerned about Umbridge's fate than the entire wizarding world.
When Harry and Albert brought the news that Umbridge was sentenced to life imprisonment back to Hogwarts, the whole castle was completely boiling, and all the Hogwarts students who had been persecuted by Umbridge were there.
Celebrate that the pink toad finally got its comeuppance.
Lee Jordan even contacted students from the Anti-Toad Alliance, and took time out of his busy review schedule to hold a small party to celebrate that Umbridge could only spend the rest of her life in Azkaban.
Harry and Albert, who are currently attracting the most attention, were also invited to attend this party. Even Fred and George, who had already left school early, appeared out of nowhere and brought umm.
The Richie Screaming Doll brought the atmosphere of the entire party to a climax.
"How did you do it, I mean how did you return to school?" Angelina gave Fred a warm hug and curiously asked everyone's doubts.
"There are actually many secret passages in Hogwarts Castle that lead to the outside of the school." Fred smiled and nodded in the direction of Albert and said, "However, we use the fireplace in Professor McGonagall's office."
Fred lied.
In fact, it was the house elf Dobby who quietly brought the two of them back to Hogwarts, but Albert asked Fred and George to keep it secret.
Although they didn't know why they wanted to keep it secret, they did it and found any excuse.
"You really opened a joke shop?" Cedric asked curiously.
"Yes, the store has been negotiated and is being renovated. It is located at No. 93 Diagon Alley." George confidently introduced to everyone: "When you leave later, there will be advertising magazines at the door. Remember to take one for each person.
This book has coupons on it. You can use the coupons to buy it at a discount in the store. The good things in the store will definitely surprise everyone."
"How many galleons does it cost to open a store? It shouldn't be cheap to rent a store in Diagon Alley, right?" Marietta Exmo asked curiously.
"Albert funded the store and the four of us opened it together." George explained, "However, you are right, renting a store in Diagon Alley is not cheap."
"Everyone, everyone..."
Lee Jordan walked through the crowd holding a wine glass and shouted: "Let's drink to Professor Toad's health. I hope Professor Toad can spend the rest of his life in Azkaban."
People raised their glasses and said loudly: "I wish Professor Toad good health and spend the rest of his life in Azkaban."
Immediately, a burst of laughter echoed throughout the Room of Requirement. Since Umbridge's tenure at Hogwarts, everyone has not been so happy as today.
Even Peeves came to join this cheerful dinner, scattering toads over everyone's heads and lighting fireworks.
Finally, along with the joyful music, everyone sang "The Song of the Toad" in unison.
The era of the toad is over, but her story will still remain in the school with her statue forever, becoming a legend in Hogwarts.
The statue of Umbridge was eventually moved from the foyer because it was too eye-catching and moved to the small swamp outside the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom. The professors agreed that the statue should be left to commemorate this great event.
victory.
As for the unlucky Auror's robes that were hung in the corridor by Albert, they could not be removed no matter what, and they would remain there forever.
The robes and related stories will be passed down from generation to generation along with the students of Hogwarts.
Happy time is always very short.
After the weekend holiday, everyone faces a new round of exams again.
Monday's potions practical exam was indeed a test of analyzing mixed poisons and preparing an antidote.
In Albert's opinion, the exam is not very difficult. It is just a mixture of three poisons, and it does not take too long to prepare the antidote. However, many seventh-grade students feel that this year's potion practical exam is extremely difficult, including
Katrina was complaining about the potions practical exam. Most students hoped that the practical exam would be about configuring potions instead of configuring antidotes. At least they would still have a chance to get high scores.
As for the content of the Arithmetic Divination test, which is relatively simple, it requires a wizard's calculation ability. Candidates need to accurately predict the outcome of certain events by calculating the probability of an event occurring.
Of course, for students with average computing ability, they will undoubtedly encounter difficulties again.
Not surprisingly, Albert once again received high scores.
After finishing the arithmetic divination, Albert finally finished all the exams and felt particularly comfortable. He followed everyone for a walk in the sunny place.
As for tomorrow’s Advanced Class Examination for History of Magic, it is generally difficult to recruit students for Advanced Class in History of Magic.
As the most boring course in the past, almost no one wanted to take History of Magic.
In fact, it is still an unsolved mystery whether Hogwarts has ever had advanced classes in the history of magic.
"I'm going to have a wizard card party!"
While resting in the shade of a tree, Lee Jordan mentioned his plan to Albert.
"It's been a long time since the last wizard card party. If we don't consolidate the wizard card club before we leave school, I'm worried that the wizard card club will break up. So you must attend and leave your seat to Lu.
Na’s matter is confirmed.”
Lee Jordan knew very well that the Wizarding Card Club's reputation in school came entirely from Albert. Once Albert graduated from school, the club would be like that. In the future, it could only use competitions and bounties to promote the development of Wizarding Cards. Although
Albert has been doing that a long time ago, but without Albert, it's hard to say how much vitality this club has and whether it can continue to persevere.
In the eyes of Lee Jordan, Luna is not a qualified club manager.
"The time is set for Friday. The final exam will be over by then. Everyone can relax and remember to tell Luna in advance." Albert finalized the specific time. They still have several days to go.
Leisure time.
"no problem."
Lee Jordan is now experienced, so he just pats his chest and says: Just remember to come when the time comes, and I will take care of the other things.
"By the way, I'm getting married next month, remember to come and help!" Albert suddenly said in a low voice.
"What, get married!"
"Shh." Albert made a shushing gesture. He didn't want the whole school to know about this.
"So fast!"
Lee Jordan was very surprised. Albert was about to get married just after graduation. It was unimaginable.
"For some reason, I'm a little pressed for time," Albert said.
"Has the time been set?"
"It's decided. Let's look at the information on the card when the time comes."
"I dare say there will be many girls who will be sad because of this." Lee Jordan nudged Albert with his elbow and teased with a smile.
"As long as you don't spread rumors, they won't know." Albert glared fiercely at the biggest rumor maker in Hogwarts.
"You place too high a value on everyone's awareness of confidentiality. Even if I don't tell you, it won't be long before the whole school knows that you are getting married." Li Qiaodan shook his head and said.
"I heard, who's getting married?" Shanna asked. She handed a letter to Albert.
"Of course Albert." Lee Jordan turned around and asked, "You haven't sent them an invitation yet?"
"I originally planned to wait until the holidays." Albert glared at Li Jordan. After taking the envelope from Shanna's hand, he took out the silver card from the deformed lizard skin bag and handed it to Shanna, holding it up.
The index finger said: "Remember to keep it secret for the time being."
"Oh, of course it's no problem, but..." Shanna took the card and asked, "What is this?"
"Invitation," said Albert.
"Invitation?"
"Yes, special invitations, the specific time and place will appear on the card." Albert explained: "Because I have entered the blacklist of mysterious people and Death Eaters, in order to avoid accidents, I have done very strict
Although Dumbledore agreed to attend the wedding long ago, I think we still have to consider the safety of the invitees."
"Oh." Shanna nodded and said, "I understand, and congratulations."
"Thanks."
"I think she's very disappointed." Lee Jordan looked at Shanna's leaving back and touched Albert with his elbow.
"Shut up. If you're jealous, just go find a girl you like." Albert glanced at the letter in his hand and frowned slightly. There was no sender on the envelope, only marked RS.
"Who sent it? Do you want me to open it for you?" Lee Jordan knew that Albert rarely opened letters from strangers, especially letters with only initials.
"No need for the moment, there should be no curses in the letter." Albert had already guessed who the sender was.
"How do you know there's no curse?" Lee Jordan asked curiously.
"Generally, the use of magic will leave traces, and a skilled wizard can identify it through the traces." Albert did not explain too much. Lee Jordan's magic level was not that high, and he probably wouldn't understand it even if it was explained.
As he spoke, Albert waved his magic wand and caused the envelope to open automatically.
The letter contained very little content, except that it said that it hoped to meet Albert.
It turned out to be Rufus Scrimgeour.
It seems that Ollivander's disappearance still made Scrimgeour unbearable.
In fact, anyone with a normal mind would realize the importance of this wand maker. However, before Ollivander disappeared, no one noticed this, even if the Ministry of Magic could find a new wand maker.
business, but that does not mean that every wand maker is as good as Ollivander.
The most important thing is that most Death Eaters lost their wands when they were captured, so the Death Eaters had the greatest chance of catching Ollivander. After all, they needed Ollivander's help in making a handy wand.
Albert had no intention of replying to Scrimgeour's letter as soon as possible, let alone meeting him before graduation, which was undoubtedly a very risky thing.
Although Albert has prepared a win-win plan from the beginning, it is conducive to the next plan to leave people aside for now.
Who makes most people stupid?
Sometimes the more enthusiastic you are, it will have the opposite effect.
He planned to let Scrimgeour speak first, and then come up with the plan when the other party asked him to help divine the location of the Death Eaters.
Kill multiple birds with one stone.
The Ministry of Magic got a chance to capture a Death Eater, and he successfully solved a big problem.
All we can say is that only routines can win people's hearts.
"You seem to be in a good mood."
"Of course, after the exam is over, I will naturally feel good."
"I feel like someone is going to be in trouble because of that letter." Lee Jordan muttered. He knew Albert quite well, and generally only important letters would be burned on the spot.
When the two of them were walking through the corridor on the first floor, they happened to encounter Harry and his group who were pouring out of the boys' bathroom.
"What are you doing, going to the bathroom together?" Lee Jordan asked.
"It was Malfoy, they wanted to sneak attack Harry, so we..." Ernie MacMillan shrugged, "taught them a little lesson."
Everyone has not forgotten Malfoy's domineering character when he was a member of the investigation team, when he was causing trouble in various colleges, not to mention that now he has the title of Son of a Death Eater.
"They seem to have been greatly stimulated. They think it's my fault that old Malfoy and his gang have become wanted criminals!" Harry said helplessly, "They probably want to beat me up while I'm alone.
Bar!"
"So, you deliberately stayed alone."
"Ahem." Harry coughed softly, "I have to give them a chance."
"Be careful, don't kill people, even if they are descendants of Death Eaters." Albert reminded kindly. He knew what the situation was like in the toilet now. The first thing to do is to stuff people's heads into the toilet.
They made it.
"yes."
Harry looked in the direction of the bathroom and said softly: "Now everyone knows what despicable guys they are, and they know that they are all descendants of Death Eaters, yet they are still so arrogant!"
"Perhaps, in a few years, they will also join them and become one of the Death Eaters."
