Chapter 924 Acquiescence

"What's going on here?"

said a false, sweet, girlish voice. Harry looked up, his hands filled with letters. Professor Umbridge stood behind Fred and Luna, her bulging toad-like eyes scanning the pile of owls and letters on the table in front of Harry.

Behind her he saw many students looking eagerly.

"Why do you have so many letters, Potter?" she said slowly.

"Is this also illegal, Professor Umbridge?" Fan Lin said flatly, "Just because of receiving letters? Could it be that this disturbs your rest time?"

"Careful, El, or I'll put you in detention," Umbridge said.

"But in fact, Professor Umbridge, anyone in Hogwarts can receive owl letters at any time except during class time."

"I'm asking a question, Al!" Umbridge said impatiently, "If you continue..."

"I'm just reminding you, Professor..." Fan Lin said, "Someone will always have to bear some consequences."

"Are you threatening me?"

"This is just a friendly reminder, Professor..."

"Thank you for your concern, but this sentence should be given to you alive. Then...Potter?"

Harry hesitated, but there was no way he could keep this secret. Soon Umbridge would find a copy of Wizarding Weekly.

"People write to me because I did an interview," Harry said, "about what happened last June." For some reason, he glanced over at the staff table as he said this.

Harry had a strange feeling that Dumbledore had been observing him just before, but when he looked towards the Headmaster he seemed to be engrossed in talking to Professor Flitwick.

"Interview?" Umbridge repeated, her voice thinner and higher than usual, "What do you mean?"

"I mean, a reporter asked me some questions and I answered them," Harry said, "and right here—" He tossed Wizard Weekly to her, and she grabbed it and stared at the cover. Her pale face turned an ugly purple.

"When did you do it?" she asked, her voice trembling slightly.

"Last Hogsmeade weekend," said Harry. She looked at him with a feverish rage, the magazine dangling between her stubby fingers.

"You can't go to Hogsmeade again, Potter," she whispered, "How dare you, how could you..." She took a deep breath, "I've told you time and time again not to lie, Obviously, you didn't listen at all. Fifty points from Gryffindor and another week of confinement!"

As she said that, Umbridge seemed to remember something, "And you, together with Potter, will be in confinement for a week."

She walked away straight, clutching the magazine tightly to her chest, and the students looked at her from behind.

"What is she, so angry?" Hermione said in disgust.

"That's right..." Harry said indifferently, "But why do you want to anger her?"

"She will see it sooner or later anyway, so the punishment will definitely fall on you, but I think we can try something new."

"Something new?" Harry said in confusion.

"The rebound curse must teach Umbridge some lessons. I didn't use it before because there was no chance, but now it seems that we can give it a good try..."

In fact, Umbridge's reaction was strong enough.

Before morning, the school was full of notices, not only on the college's notice board, but also in the corridors and classrooms.

Order of the Senior Investigator of Hogwarts: Any student who possesses "Wizard Weekly" will be expelled. The above is the signature of Education Order No. 27: Dorellos Jane Umbridge, Senior Investigator.

For some reason, Hermione got happy every time she saw the notice.

"What are you happy about?" Harry asked her.

"Oh, Harry, didn't you see?" she gasped, "If there's one thing she can do to ensure that every student in this school reads your interview, it's to ban it! "

Hermione seemed to be right. By the end of the day, the interview was circulating throughout the school, even though Harry had never seen so many copies of Wizarding Weekly in the corner of the school.

Harry heard them whispering while queuing outside the classroom, during lunch, and returning to class. Hermione even said that when she went to the girls' bathroom before her ancient poetry class, every cubicle in there was talking about it.

"Then they saw me, and obviously they knew I knew you, so they bombarded me with questions," Hermione told Harry, her eyes twinkling, "Harry, I think they all believed you, really. In the end they will believe you! "

Meanwhile, Professor Umbridge was walking around the school, casually teasing students and asking them to open their books and pockets. Harry knew she was looking for Wizarding Weekly, but in fact the students were moving faster than she was.

The page with Harry's interview was enchanted to look like a textbook excerpt, appearing blank to everyone else and only they could read it. So everyone in school read this article.

Teachers were of course prohibited from mentioning this interview under Decree 27, but they all expressed their views in the same way.

When Harry handed Professor Sprout the kettle, she awarded Gray twenty points; the beaming Professor Flitwick gave him a box of Squeaky Candy mice at the end of the spells lesson. He ran away saying "Shhh!" Professor Troney cried hysterically in the prophecy class and announced to the shocked class that, contrary to Professor Umbridge's opinion, Harry would not die early at all, but would live a long life and become a Minister of Magic, and twelve children.

There is no doubt that Dumbledore's inaction made the professors in the school feel very depressed, and when someone really stood up to oppose it, they naturally catered to everyone's welcome.

There is no doubt that this will bring more attention to Harry, but this is also a good thing. At least, the Ministry of Magic will not let Harry disappear suddenly in front of them.

And Fanlin's actions were not stopped by Dumbledore. With Dumbledore's ability, he could completely make this intensifying text disappear. This is probably a kind of tacit approval. As long as there is no open confrontation, all this will not happen. question.

By the way, an unexpected gain also solved Harry's troubles. On the way to the Transfiguration class, Qiu Zhang stopped him.

Before Harry even knew what was happening, he felt her hand in his and her breath in his ear, "I'm so, so sorry, that interview was so brave, I cried. "

Of course, after Qiu kissed Harry's face in front of a bunch of people, Harry felt like he was floating.

Is this an encouragement of love? (To be continued)
