Professor McGonagall was stunned for several seconds before speaking fluently.
However, before Professor McGonagall could finish her words, there was suddenly the sound of chaotic footsteps in the corridor outside.
It was time for classes to end now, and the Transfiguration classroom on the second floor of the castle happened to be the only way for most teachers and students to go to the auditorium. With those sudden explosions and quarreling sounds, everyone nearby rushed over.
Crowds of people crowded in the corridor and whispered.
A few seconds later, Sirius Black, who was in class next door, rushed into the classroom first, followed closely by Professor Flitwick and Professor Lupin. After noticing the unusual commotion here, Filch, Madam Pomfrey,
Professor Snape and others also rushed over one after another.
Dumbledore and Professor "Apocalis" were the last two teachers to arrive at the scene this time.
The two old men who arrived late had confusion written all over their faces.
"What happened here? What happened?"
It was time for get out of class to end, and the corridors were crowded with young wizards watching the fun. Dumbledore and Grindelwald had to squeeze through the crowd.
Before the two of them could ask about the specific situation in the classroom, after seeing Dumbledore appear, Umbridge, who was sitting on a chair in the corner of the classroom, suddenly raised her right hand and pointed her stubby finger at Ai, who was standing beside the podium.
Lina, trembling all over, screamed.
"Elena! That girl is crazy! She is so lawless——"
Umbridge gasped and stared at Elena viciously, her bulging eyes a little bloodshot.
"She! That's right! She despicably sneaked up on me from behind, and while I was discussing with Professor McGonagall, she suddenly pulled out her wand and attacked me!"
Elena...who made the first move?
Dumbledore frowned, his eyes flashing across the girl's smooth hands.
He and Grindelwald exchanged a calm look, and the reason seemed not that simple.
"Professor Umbridge! I think this may not be a suitable place for discussion."
Dumbledore said, looking around, his eyes quickly passing over Elena, Hermione, Professor McGonagall, the other teachers present, and the black walnut wand scattered at the other end of the classroom, and then,
He looked at the crowd around him.
"Anyway, let's go to the teacher's office downstairs first - as for other students and order in the auditorium -"
"I will be responsible for guiding and taking care of you, Professor Dumbledore." Snape said proactively.
"Thank you, Severus," Dumbledore said.
The crowd watching the excitement parted to both sides, looking at the embarrassed Umbridge and letting them pass obediently.
Snape calmly guided the flow of people from behind to restore order, and the teachers who arrived later were also helping to maintain order and clean up the mess.
After Professor Sprout and Professor Flitwick hesitated for a few seconds, they quickly followed Dumbledore and others, accompanying Professor McGonagall, Elena, and Hermione down. Grinder
After chatting briefly with Filch, Waugh and Sirius hurriedly followed.
There was a pair of gargoyles standing at the door of the teacher's office. When Dumbledore approached, they jumped aside.
Everyone filed in, and the office was quickly filled with people - even Professor Quirrell and Mrs. Hooch rushed over.
Since the secret arrest a few months ago, the Hogwarts faculty and staff have unconsciously formed a tacit understanding of the same hatred.
Not to mention, unlike the previous time, this conflict also directly involved Professor McGonagall.
The popularity of older catgirls in Hogwarts is great.
"How is it, Poppy, is Professor Umbridge not injured?"
Dumbledore sat behind the table, looked at Madam Pomfrey who had put away her wand again, and asked with just the right amount of concern.
After everyone walked into the office, before Umbridge could say anything, Dumbledore first suggested "injury testing" - as a victim of an attack, this reason was naturally impeccable, even if Umbridge was a little...
I was reluctant, but I couldn't find the angle to say no for the moment.
"Well, I looked carefully and found that Professor Umbridge is quite healthy——"
"The damage caused by the curse is not just superficial. I'm still a little nauseous and dizzy now - that little girl doesn't know what kind of curse she cast. I don't think I can draw conclusions just by looking at the surface. Besides, this kind of lawless behavior is a crime in itself.
This is an extremely serious disciplinary violation."
"Sorry, I'm just a school nurse. I'm not responsible for judging whether students violate discipline..."
Madam Pomfrey shrugged and said firmly, "But according to my inspection, except for the few magic scorch marks on your sweater, you did not suffer any magical damage. At most, you were a little frightened - this
It’s not surprising that there are some wizards with sensitive nerves who may experience discomfort when exposed to strong light or strong sounds. In this case, just rest in bed and have a good sleep and everything will be fine.”
"Ms. Pomfrey, I am not a sensitive person!"
"Oh, yes, of course you are not -" Madam Pomfrey replied absently.
If it hadn't been for Dumbledore's request, and if it had to do with Minerva, she would have actually preferred to have "Professor Apokalis" throw a few healing spells at the senior investigator. In this arrogant, annoying Ministry of Magic
It is really a waste to waste energy on officials.
"Okay, then let's solve the problem directly."
Dumbledore nodded, waved his wand casually in the air, and closed the office door.
It was obvious that even Snape could not suppress the curiosity of the students. If they did not close the door to the office, they might still see at least one or two classes of students "wandering back and forth" outside the corridor when they went out.
Wonderful scene.
Dumbledore's expression was extremely serious, and he looked down at Elena along the bridge of his curved nose, and asked calmly.
"Miss Kaslana, please explain why you did this -"
"I heard her insulting Professor McGonagall in a roundabout way, including you, of course."
Elena said, her tone laced with righteous indignation. When she explained in the principal's office how her actions would save the future of Hogwarts step by step, Dumbledore had heard the same emotion.
Of course, the tone of righteous dissatisfaction was more realistic this time.
"In her question, Professor Umbridge hinted that Professor McGonagall had engaged in power and sex dealings while working at the Ministry of Magic. What is even more shameless is that she actually hinted between the lines that you and Professor McGonagall had an affair... Professor Dumbledore,
You and Professor McGonagall are the people I admire and respect the most. I really can't bear her slandering you like that. When I heard Professor Umbridge's words, I couldn't help but..."
Following Elena's accusation, there was a burst of disbelief in the teacher's office.
The professors frowned and looked at Dolores Umbridge in confusion. If it was such an insult, it would indeed be too vicious.
At the same time, Dumbledore's expression suddenly froze - although he would not believe a word of "admiration and respect", but if these subjective emotions were put aside, Elena's objective facts
There is a high probability that the description will not be deliberately lied.
As for why Elena matures so precociously, Dumbledore has long been accustomed to it.
"Slander! It's simply slander! This is simply -"
Umbridge screamed, obviously realizing that there was something fishy about the form.
However, before Umbridge could formulate a rebuttal, she suddenly became mute as if a frog had been strangled by her neck.
"So...how long have you been teaching at Hogwarts?"
"By the end of this month, it should be exactly thirty-six years and one month."
"..."
In the huge teacher's office, the conversation between Professor McGonagall and Umbridge suddenly sounded.
Although it was a little blurry, everyone could still clearly distinguish their conversation, and the source of this sound...
"I'm very sorry, Professor Umbridge - it seems that you have not carefully read the function introduction of the 'Personal Terminal'. As a magic prop to assist Hogwarts students to learn better, our 'Personal Terminal' is in an unupgraded state.
You can also record magic audio for more than half an hour."
Elena pointed to the open magic book at hand and explained the product seriously.
"The get out of class had just ended, and before I had time to turn off the recording function, I happened to record the conversation between you and Professor McGonagall."
"As for the authenticity of this recording, I believe all the professors present can tell it - Professor McGonagall and Hermione can also testify for me."
In fact, Elena didn't lie completely this time.
Transfiguration is originally a magic that requires high magic control and mental concentration.
In order not to miss Professor McGonagall's comments and supplementary explanations during everyone's transformation, Elena likes to turn on the recording in class.
Of course, she deliberately turned off the recording this time, but Elena didn't expect that it would come in handy at this time. She actually wanted to share the fun of eating melon with Luna and Hannah when she went back at night.
, after all, everyone likes this kind of campus gossip.
The recording of the magic book is not long, only a few minutes in total.
When the play ended, the teacher's office fell into a suffocating silence.
Even the best-tempered Professor Sprout couldn't help but glare at Umbridge at this moment.
I have to admit that Umbridge showed absolutely no respect at all during her questioning of Professor McGonagall.
She was obviously tearing open Professor McGonagall's scar deliberately in an attempt to anger Minerva McGonagall.
The most disturbing thing is that this slick and cunning Ministry of Magic official still pretends to be businesslike during the conversation, and is extremely insidiously stuck on the edge of the "default" rules of adult society. It's disgusting. If Mai...
Professor Ge didn't hold back from casting a spell to fight back, but instead he would be punished for breaking the "rules" - if Elena hadn't taken action, perhaps this would have happened.
As time passed, Minerva McGonagall gradually woke up from her anger.
She stared at Elena's face with a complicated expression, but hesitated to speak.
As a witness of "Dual Rewind Structure Transformation Magic", she is very clear about the effect of that illusion magic: in addition to light and shadow, if you selectively adjust the air vibration, you can even forge simple sounds, such as saying that she is in smoke.
Those few words I heard.
Whether it was "her" questioning Elena, or the whirlwind spell that dispersed the smoke...
Minerva McGonagall never thought that one day she would be temporarily saved by her own student, a problem student.
"Oh, okay, okay. I admit, my speaking skills during the review process need to be improved."
Umbridge looked around at the dissatisfied eyes around her, shrugged reluctantly, and quickly changed the subject.
"However, Professor Dumbledore... these should be two different things, right?"
"Miss Kaslana blatantly attacked the professor and despicably attacked a senior government official from behind. Regardless of whether she caused actual harm, she should at least be expelled - in fact, I personally think she even needs to be tried by a wizarding court.
"
"This kind of bad seedling that endangers the magic world should be eliminated directly from the source!"
