Chapter 887 Umbridge’s Visit
A heavy knock on the door interrupted his words.
Hermione was startled; her cup slipped from her fingers and fell to the floor; Fangs screamed.
The five of them looked at the window next to the door together. There was a short figure outside the window.
"It's that woman!" Ron whispered.
"Get under here!" Harry quickly unfolded the invisibility cloak to cover him and Hermione next to him, and then Ron got in, but the invisibility cloak was too small and couldn't squeeze the four of them in.
"What should we do?" Hermione was a little anxious. Now most of their bodies were exposed.
"Quick, Hermione, Animagus, let's jump on the bed." Fan Lin said.
Under Hagrid's surprised gaze, Fanlin and Hermione turned into two white cats, lying peacefully behind the quilt.
Harry and Ron huddled together and hurriedly hid in a corner of the room.
Yaya shouted at the top of his lungs towards the door.
Hagrid thought it was strange.
"Hagrid! Hide our cups!"
Hagrid hurriedly stuffed Harry and Ron's cups under Fang's basket cushion, and Fang kept jumping up and down in front of the front door. Hagrid pushed it aside with his foot and opened the door.
Professor Umbridge was standing in the doorway, wearing a green tweed cloak and earmuffs. She leaned back so that she could see Hagrid, barely reaching his waist.
"So," she said loudly, word by word, as if talking to a deaf person, "you are Hagrid?"
Before Hagrid could answer, she walked into the room and looked around with her eyes.
"Go away!" she shouted loudly, using her handbag to shoo away the teeth trying to lick her.
"Hey, it means no harm." Hagrid looked at her and said, "Who are you?"
"I am Dolores Jane Umbridge." She looked at Hagrid's small floor, and twice her eyes caught sight of the corner where Harry and the others were standing.
"Dolores Jane Umbridge?" Hagrid said, completely confused. "I know, you work at the Ministry of Magic with Fudge?"
"Yes, I am the Deputy Minister of Magic," Umbridge said with her head raised, and began to walk around the hut, looking at every place in the house, and set her sights on the travel bag and cloak on the wall. superior.
""I am now a Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. "
"You're so brave," said Hagrid. "No one would want to do that job!"
"And a senior advisor to Hogwart," Professor Umbridge continued, not paying attention to Hagrid's comments about her.
"What?" Haibang asked with a frown.
"You know I want tea". Professor Umbridge said, pointing to the fragment of Hermione's cup on the floor.
"Oh" Hagrid glanced helplessly towards where Harry and Ron were standing, "Ah, it's Fang. It knocked my cup to the ground, so I switched to another one." Hagrid pointed. Pointing to the cup he himself had used, the piece of dragon meat was still on his face.
Professor Umbridge stood in front of him, looking at the expression on his face.
"I heard someone talking," she said quietly. "It was me talking to Fang," Hagrid said.
"Then it spoke to you too?"
"Yes, speak to me in its language," Hagrid replied, already starting to feel unnatural, "I have a spiritual connection with it."
"I saw two pairs of footprints in the snow in front of your door and some Padfoots..." Umbridge said slyly.
Ron gasped in horror, and Harry immediately covered his mouth with his hand. Fangs was sniffing around Professor Umbridge, so she didn't seem to hear.
"Oh, I just came back," Hagrid said with a wave of his hand, "Maybe someone came to see me before I came back."
"But there are footprints that haven't left."
"Oh, then I don't know," Hagrid said. He touched his beard and looked again at where Harry and the others were standing, as if hoping they could help him. Professor Umbridge walked around the small facade, looking around carefully.
She bent down and looked under the bed, and opened Hagrid's kitchen cupboard. She was only two inches away from Harry at the time, Ron stood close to the wall, and Harry tried his best to endure it until she left.
"Do you still have a cat?" Umbridge asked in surprise. She found Fan Lin and Hermione hiding behind the quilt.
Almost instantly, Fan Lin clearly felt that Hermione's body was almost straightened, and it could be said that the hair on the back stood on end.
Fan Lin gave a weak cry, then stood up and put his paws on Hermione's body, like a real cat, licking Hermione's with his tongue...
Well, hair...
"Ah, that's my adopted Phil, and his girlfriend..." Hagrid quickly replied, which made Fan Lin feel helpless.
Fan Lin promised that he had heard this name somewhere before, and he didn’t know what kind of terrifying monster it was.
Umbridge didn't seem to think much, she just said coolly and looked away.
Then, she looked at Hagrid's chaotic room, turned around and said, "What happened to you? Are you injured?"
Hagrid hurriedly removed the dragon meat from his face. Fan Lin really wished he hadn't done that. In this way, the black and purple scars on Hagrid's eyes and the solidified dragon blood all over his face became more obvious.
"Oh-, I, I had an accident!" he said lamely.
"What kind of accident?"
"I fell." Hagrid said awkwardly.
"Did you fall?" Umbridge repeated coldly.
"Yes, that's it, because I'm too big and don't have a broomstick that fits me. I ride a hippogriff that I raised. I don't know if you've seen it before. It's that kind of animal with wings. I Once ridden, they were….”
"Where have you been?" Professor Umbridge interrupted Hagrid coldly.
"Where have I been?"
"Yes, where have you been since February? There is a teacher from another college traveling with you. No teacher in this college can tell me where you have been because you have not stayed "Where did you go after taking any message?" she asked Hagrid's eyes staring at her, and Harry could almost see the anger rising in him.
"I, I'm going on vacation," Hagrid said.
"Holiday," Umbridge repeated dryly.
She looked at Hagrid's swollen face with her eyes. The dragon's blood was dripping onto his vest.
"I see."
"Yeah," said Hagrid. "Go get some fresh air."
"Yes, it must be a rare opportunity for a gamekeeper," said Professor Umbridge in her sweet voice. Hagrid's dark purple face began to turn red.
"Yes, a new environment."
"Is the mountain view beautiful?" Professor Umbridge asked quickly. She knows everything, Harry thought.
"Mountain?" Haibang repeated, and he immediately responded, "I don't know, we went to the south of France to bask in the sun on the beach there."
"Really?" said Professor Umbridge. "Then you haven't gotten a tan?"
"Of course, my skin is quite sensitive." Hagrid replied, trying his best to smile happily, but revealing two of his teeth that had been knocked out.
Professor Umbridge looked at him coolly; he smiled and explained hesitantly.
"I will report to the minister that you did not return to the academy in time," she said as she opened the bag hanging on her arm.
"Okay" Hagrid said with a nod.
"You should be able to know from other teachers that I am now the senior prosecutor here, and I think we will definitely meet again soon." She said suddenly when she walked to the door.
"Are you the senior prosecutor here?" Hagrid repeated, looking at her blankly.
"Oh, that's right," Professor Umbridge said softly, putting her hand on the doorknob and looking back at him, "The Ministry of Magic has decided to expel some unqualified teachers. Have a good night, Hagrid." (To be continued)
