Chapter 527 I've Never Seen Such a Brazen Person (Modified)

"Ron, I'll never play Quidditch again," said Harry hollowly, as the Gryffindor cubs walked exhausted from Umbridge's office into the common room.

"But we are very restrained!" Ron's expression at this time did not need Harry's despair at all, he said painfully, "We did everything according to her request, but she still gave you the punishment of suspension, but with a mocking face Said King Weasley could continue to play Quidditch."

Harry heard the words and didn't know how to comfort Ron who might have been hurt more.

"Why?!" Frustrated Ron received no response, he waved his fist angrily, "Hermione Granger, those Harris training classes she led, and those Slytherins did to us After doing the same thing, Umbridge even imposed the punishment they deserved on us, and the reason Umbridge gave was because they were bewitched by us!"

"It's not Hermione's fault, Ron! Don't fall for Umbridge's tricks, she did it on purpose to stir up a rift between us. Remember the song the Sorting Hat sang at the beginning of term: Our Hogwarts This is in danger, and enemies outside the school are staring at us. We must be closely united internally, otherwise everything will disintegrate from within." Although Harry himself was full of resentment, seeing the desperate and irritable Ron, he still Restraining his temper, he persuaded patiently.

"Why can our Defense Against the Dark Arts class only read those boring textbooks, but the people in the intensive training class can train openly and use spells that are obviously not what students should master? I bet, including the development of exchange students. It's all pure-bloods like Alan Harris conspiring with Fudge and the others, and you see those Durmstrang people who come over also hang out with the people from the training class every day." The more Ron thought about it, the more annoyed he became , kicked an armored knight in the corridor, and the armored knight fell to the ground with a crash, his helmet and weapons scattered all over the ground.

Harry quickly tried to stop his companion's agitated behavior, and dragged him out of the corridor quickly to avoid being punished by Filch. "Calm down, Ron. Umbridge is afraid of Ellen. Alan protected us when he was at school. Don't forget that Hagrid himself told us that Ellen stopped Umbridge from doing things to him. I think Because of this, Umbridge, who didn't dare to confront Allen head-on, had to use Durmstrang's student exchange activities to get Allen to leave. You see, her actions all started after Allen left. .”

It wasn't just Harry and Ron who were desperate. At Hogwarts the next day, the young wizards dining in the auditorium heard the noise coming from the foyer, and the students swarmed out of the auditorium after eating to see what happened There are still many people crowded on the marble stairs. The onlookers formed a large circle, some of them looked shocked, some even looked terrified.

Professor Trelawney was sitting on a trunk in the middle of the hall, wand in one hand and an empty bottle in the other, looking completely insane. Her hair was all up, her glasses were crooked, making one eye much larger than the other, and her countless scarves and shawls hung in a mess, giving the impression that she was in tatters. In addition to the one she was sitting on, there was another that was upside down, as if thrown from a staircase.

Almost never commented on other professors, only Professor McGonagall, who often expressed dissatisfaction with Professor Trelawney, did not show any disgust towards her at this time. Professor McGonagall trotted close to Trelawney in a panic Professor Ni, hugged her, softly called her name——Sybil, trying to comfort her, letting her cry in her arms, Professor McGonagall's face was full of pity.

Professor Dumbledore, who was walking slowly, looked down at Professor Trelawney, who was trembling with tears on his face, and Harry heard him say, "Ms. Umbridge, as the chief investigator, you have full authority to Fire my teachers. But I'm afraid you have no right to expel them from the castle, which I'm afraid—" He bowed politely,

"It still belongs to the headmaster. I hope that Professor Trelawney will continue to live in Hogwarts."

Trelawney gave an excited laugh and a little sob.

"Please forgive me, Principal Dumbledore. Although I have no right to prohibit Principal Dumbledore from allowing her to stay in the school, as the new vice-principal, I think I have similar powers. Then ordered her to leave Hogwarts again as Vice-Headmaster, it seems we need to contest who is more patient?" said Professor Umbridge, with a smug smile on her toad face that made people feel sick.

"You—you can't!" howled Professor Trelawney, tears streaming from behind the large glasses, "you—you can't drive me away! I've been—sixteen years here! Ho—Hogwarts Cici is me—my home!"

"It used to be your home," said Umbridge viciously. "The Minister for Magic has signed your dismissal order. Now please leave the Great Hall. You're embarrassing us."

Professor McGonagall followed Trelawney Lou closely at this time, and she yelled at Umbridge: "For Merlin's sake, you fired her for your power, at least let her Stay here."

Umbridge turned his eyes away from Dumbledore, and turned to Professor McGonagall with a smile: "I thought you, as an old Hogwarts professor, came to the middle of this hall, facing the teachers and students of the school, there must be a high level of respect." I didn't expect to say such vulgar words!"

McGonagall glanced at the teachers and students watching around, glaring at Umbridge.

Umbridge lifted the skirts on both sides, and bowed slightly to the surrounding crowd: "I have something to say, please listen carefully. Professor McGonagall, since you mentioned fairness to me, then I will come and talk with you." Let's talk about fairness bit by bit.

The inability to join the Quidditch team in the first year was a rule set by the Hogwarts school. When Mrs. Hooch sent poor Neville Longbottom to the school medical office when she had an accident, she also made a rule that after she left Whoever moves the broom will be kicked out of Hogwarts.

And this Professor McGonagall, known for his fairness, not only did not punish Harry Potter after he clearly violated Mrs. As a Quidditch fan and head of Gryffindor herself, she took Harry to the headmaster of Hogwarts, Dumbledore, and asked him to make an exception for a first-year student who had only attended Harry Potter, who had a flying lesson, joined the Gryffindor Quidditch team. He didn't think about whether the young Harry Potter would be able to keep himself safe when he competed with other senior students on the field. .

As the principal, Dumbledore not only did not uphold the school rules set by the school, he even agreed to Professor McGonagall's unreasonable suggestion. According to the rule that freshmen are not allowed to bring their own broomsticks", Professor McGonagall bought Harry Potter the most advanced broom, Nimbus 2000, which was the only one among the four college teams at that time. Professor McGonagall didn't think about it at all. Fair enough? It also didn't take into account that she was not doing any justice to other first-year and previous students by doing so.

Our Mr. Harry Potter, under the bad influence of Professor McGonagall, was rather disgruntled at the new equipment the Slytherin team had to deploy to counter his Nimbus 2000 ahead of the rest of the team , and even tried to inquire about relevant regulations to stop the self-protection behavior of Slytherin College.

It can be seen from this that the wrong way of guiding will have a terrible negative impact on the character of the students. Now, in order to attract the attention of others, Harry Potter has even started to lie - he lied that the mysterious man is back! "

Professor McGonagall was furious, she hugged Professor Trelawney so tightly with one hand that she could hardly breathe, and pointed at Umbridge with the other hand: "You... Umri Odd... there was Alan Harris back then, as long as the student's flying talent meets the requirements, we will all be the same..."

Umbridge took a step forward angrily when he heard the words, and patted McGonagall's finger pointing at her: "Shut up! Shameless old thief, don't you know that students from other colleges dare not speak out behind your back, and still Dare to mention Mr. Alan Harris here! Compared with Harry Potter, how is Alan Harris’s Quidditch talent? Ravenclaw’s flying lessons were taken before Gryffindor, and he In the first flying lesson, he showed even more outstanding flying talents. I checked the school log, and Mrs. Hooch also reported the performance of Mr. Alan Harris. Can you show him at that time? Dumbledore Can the headmaster show something to him? If you hadn't taken the lead in violating the rules, Professor Flitwick would have no chance to fight for the opportunity that should belong to this student who is more talented in flying!"

Seeing that McGonagall was humiliated and speechless, Dumbledore wanted to help her out: "Ms. Umbridge, what you said is indeed a mistake caused by our inconsideration. Minerva is only because she saw Harry I made a wrong judgment on my talent under the excitement, but this kind of thing has little impact. After all, students with flying talents can still join the Quidditch team in the second grade. On the development of Quidditch, Alan Harris also solved the problem for us on the issue of Quidditch equipment, didn't he?"

Umbridge also calmed down, and she smiled sweetly at Dumbledore: "Oh, please forgive my excitement, Headmaster Dumbledore, the Quidditch incident does not have a big impact on the students, so please Allow me to continue.

In the past, before the Ministry of Magic implemented educational reforms to make students and the school strictly abide by the school rules, do you still have memories of the year Mr. Harry Potter entered school? After the sorting ceremony, Principal Dumbledore, in front of all the teachers and students of the school, promulgated the rule not to enter the corridor on the right side of the fourth floor. However, at the end of the term, the Gryffindors headed by Harry Potter violated the school rules set by you as the headmaster, but you, headmaster Dumbledore, added an unusually large number of points to them. College points.

In this way, don't the other academies be punished in disguise because they abide by the school rules you set? Is this fair to law-abiding students in other colleges? Oh, Professor McGonagall, don’t think about using Mr. Alan Harris as a shield again. I checked the data of the year. Although Mr. Harris also violated this regulation, even if he was deducted points, Ravenclaw With the extra points he usually gets, he will still win the Academy Cup without any problem.

But the students of Hufflepuff and Slytherin were driven away by Gryffindor who violated the school rules because they obeyed the school rules. I would like to ask, Headmaster Albus Dumbledore, Gryffindor, is there any fairness in that that Professor Minerva McGonagall, Gryffindor, just emphasized? This encouragement of students to break Hogwarts rules is why the Ministry of Magic has sent me here, to inherit what should be inherited, to perfect what needs to be perfected, and to weed out those practices that should be banned. "

Professor McGonagall gasped: "You...Umbridge, how dare you accuse Dumbledore like that...The situation at the time was that we were..."

Umbridge, who is eloquent and eloquent, has gained power and is not forgiving: "Professor McGonagall, you have lived for sixty years in vain. Apart from being excellent in transfiguration, you have not made any major contributions to the cause of education in your life. You only flaunt yourself as strict, fair and fair. You are high above me, you don't know right from wrong, and you take pleasure in accusing others. It's Sybill Trelawney in your arms. I've heard you criticize her in front of students many times before, and the reason is the same as my expulsion today Her reasons are basically the same. Are you pretending to be a good person now? I know about Professor McGonagall's life. Do you remember a local Muggle farmer named Doug McGregor in your hometown? After dating him for a period of time, you clearly agreed to the other party's proposal to you, but after you calmed down and weighed it, you were unwilling to give up the job you got in the Department of Legal Enforcement at the Ministry of Magic, and you didn't even dare to give up the real reason. Tell the other party and run and reject him, leave without saying goodbye after three days, and even marry your boss in the Ministry of Magic, Afen Stone Urquart, who is much older than you, so it can be seen that you I am the one who disregards fairness and justice for the sake of power, I have never seen such a brazen person!"

Umbridge deliberately concealed some facts when accusing, making it sound like something else, the reason why McGonagall agreed to Doug's marriage proposal and rejected him was because of the unhappy marriage between her Muggle father and wizard mother when she was a child Life made her hesitate. At that time, the stricter international secrecy laws made it impossible for McGonagall to tell him the real reason for regretting the marriage. When McGonagall promised to pursue her boss Alfen Stone all the time, Doug, whom she had always loved, who had already married another Muggle, had passed away. Fen Stone also retired early.

Therefore, Professor McGonagall was trembling with anger. She wanted to refute Umbridge, but under the anger, she only uttered: "You, you! Ah..." and then fainted from anger. After being hugged by her Sybil, who was unable to move and speak because she was angry behind her, was also brought down to the ground, crushing on the sleeve of Professor McGonagall's black robe.

"Miss Umbridge, if you try to use word games to frame Minerva again..." After seeing Professor McGonagall faint, the gentleness on Dumbledore's face disappeared. The wizards realized that they had never seen Principal Dumbledore with such an angry expression before. They saw him slowly approaching Umbridge, and the vicious witch who was full of pride just now faced the world's greatest white When she was a wizard, she could only tremble and backed away. She was so frightened that she sat on the ground and threatened Dumbledore with trembling voices, such as she is the highest investigator of the Ministry of Magic, and you can't touch me.

At this time, Traorini, who had just gotten up after regaining her freedom, took the first step and said: "No - Dumbledore - no, it's not worth it, thank you for your protection, I want to go, I want to leave - leave Hoag Woz, go elsewhere to make a living—you can send Minerva to the school doctor's office." After she finished speaking, her suitcase flew up and followed her, stumbling towards the gate of the castle.

Dumbledore sighed and withdrew his momentum. He stepped over Umbridge who was still slumped on the ground, and without looking at her, he took McGonagall with one hand and started to help her towards the school doctor's office. , and shouted to the onlookers who blocked his way: "Have you done your homework?"
