Chapter 489 Endless Education Orders
It's November, and it's as cold as frozen iron. There's a layer of hard frost every morning, and the icy wind cuts my hands and cheeks.
The game between Gryffindor and Slytherin is getting closer, but the fighting between the two houses has gradually stopped, and lions and snakes shooting spells at each other will no longer be seen in the corridors.
Those in Slytherin who could and were willing to cause trouble were basically sent to the school doctor's office, where they were defeated by the well-trained Gryffindors.
The rest are all stragglers who have no desire to fight and cannot achieve anything.
The morning of the game was clear and cold, the sky and the ceiling of the Great Hall turned a light blue-grey, and the mountains surrounding Hogwarts wore a cap of snow.
The auditorium was full of people, the voices were louder than usual, and the atmosphere was more enthusiastic. Everyone was excitedly waiting for the game that was about to start.
Because of Snape's unlimited favoritism, Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw once again sided with Gryffindor. Students from the two houses would cheer for the players when passing by the Gryffindor table.
Among the confident Gryffindor players, Ron seemed out of place. His face was pale, his eyes were dull, and his steps were sloppy. He was just short of writing "I am not nervous" on his face.
Seeing how nervous Ron was, loud jeers erupted from the direction of the Slytherin table, and the sound almost lifted the ceiling.
Almost every Slytherin student wears a silver badge with a crown, which is engraved with: Weasley is our king.
This was a slogan used by Ada to support Charlie Weasley, but now it has become a slogan used by Slytherin to humiliate Ron Weasley.
After walking across the frosty grass and bathing in the cold air, Ada, Hermione, and Ginny arrived at the stadium and stood in a sea of gold and red, waiting for the game to officially start.
The game time is coming soon, and although the players have not yet appeared on the field, cheers can already be heard from the stands around the stadium.
And among the cheers, there were bursts of singing. It was the Slytherins singing, their chorus a little noisy, and you had to look carefully to hear the words.
That silly little Weasley,
He won't block a ball,
The Slytherins sang loudly,
Weasley is our king.
Weasley was born in a trash can,
He always puts the ball into the goal,
Weasley makes sure I win this game,
Weasley is our king.
…
After hearing the insulting lyrics clearly, Hermione suddenly covered her face and murmured: "It's over, it's all over! Ron will definitely be disturbed. If we lose this game, Ron will be finished!" "
In the past few days, Ron had put too much pressure on himself, and it had reached a breaking point. Now with the excitement of this chorus, Ron's confidence is likely to be destroyed.
Of course, there is also the possibility of rising from the ashes, but this possibility is only theoretical, just like a certain national team can theoretically qualify.
Ginny frowned and looked at Slytherin fiercely, but she was not as pessimistic as Hermione.
She said: "No, we still have Harry. Harry will definitely catch the Golden Snitch before the abominable Malfoy and win this game!"
Ada raised her head and looked at the sky. It was a uniform pearly white and the sunshine was very gentle. Apart from being a little cold, it was a good weather for a competition. She had the same idea as Ginny, and the winner of this game was Harry.
Even if Slytherin beat the goal guarded by Ron into a sieve, it would be difficult for them to lead Gryffindor by 150 points. Don’t forget that there are Angelina, Aaliyah and Katie who have been working together for many years. The three of them form the most luxurious attack lineup in the school.
In other words, Ron's game is a test for himself, a game for himself. No matter how many points Ron lost this time, the most important thing is whether he can still stand in front of the goal in the next game.
At this time, players from both sides began to enter the field, and Crabbe and Goyle actually appeared in Slytherin's team. These two idiots were batsmen. Ron was the only newbie on the Gryffindor side, his steps were stiff and he was smooth again.
As Ms. Huo Qi's whistle blew, the game officially began.
Just as Ada, Hermione, and Ginny thought before the game, Ron lost the ball as soon as he came up, and Slytherin's Warrington scored first.
In fact, although Ron failed to save this time, he did a very good job, but he just lacked a little luck. Faced with such a single opportunity, even Wood dared not say that he could make a solid save.
However, this was only Ron's first game, and his remaining self-confidence disappeared with the loss of the ball and the louder and louder singing on the sidelines.
Soon, Pousse scored another goal, twenty to zero. Then, Montaigne and Warrington scored consecutively, 40-0. Ron's role as a goalkeeper is gone. He just makes mechanical saves and then watches the opponent score.
Fortunately, the other Gryffindor players were not vegetarians, and they did not let Slytherin continue to widen the score.
Fred and George stepped up their threats to the opponent's offensive players, and Angelina, Aaliyah, and Katie also scored consecutively, which stopped Gryffindor's decline in this game.
Just when Ron and Blake were very friendly, Harry and Draco Malfoy discovered the traces of the Golden Snitch at the same time, and they chased the Golden Snitch representing victory side by side.
In the wind-whispering nick of time, it was all over, with Harry grabbing the tiny, struggling golden ball and Malfoy just missing it.
Gryffindor won this focus battle thrillingly!
The Slytherins in the stands were silent and no longer sang their lame lyrics in unison. Gryffindor cheered soaring into the sky.
However, the cheers only lasted for a few seconds before they collectively turned into exclamations. All the teachers and students once again witnessed Slytherin's obscene behavior.
After Harry caught the Golden Snitch, and after Ms. Hooch blew the final whistle, Crabbe hit Harry desperately with the Bludger, hitting the defenseless Harry in the back and knocking him off his broomstick. Knocked down.
Fortunately, Harry was only five or six feet above the ground, so he was not injured. He only had a dull pain in his lower back after being hit by the Bludger.
There was an uproar in the stands, and many Gryffindors wanted to climb down the railings and teach Crabbe a lesson, or rush to the Slytherin stands and stew these insidious little snakes into snake soup.
The professors also stood up one after another to calm the chaotic Gryffindors and prevent the situation from escalating further. However, the professors held down the students, but not the players. The players on the court were already fighting.
The twins and Harry knocked Malfoy to the ground and gave him a slap in the face.
The three of Angelina surrounded Ms. Hooch and Crabbe, asking for explanations and stalling for time.
The surrounded Ms. Hooch was unable to stop the twins and Harry, but Umbridge suddenly appeared on the court. She used her stubby wand to knock the twins and Harry away, and rescued Mal who was being beaten. blessing.
"I have to say that Mr. Potter's violent tendencies are really serious." Umbridge said with a smile.
Umbridge's appearance stopped the noise and noise among the students. Everyone looked towards the stadium, hoping to hear clearly what Umbridge said.
Professor McGonagall, wearing a Gryffindor scarf, hurried down the stand, shaking with rage.
Before Umbridge could continue to speak, Professor McGonagall said: "Shameful! I have never seen such a shameful performance! Three against one! Confinement, all three of you."
Without asking for any reason, Professor McGonagall directly punished the three of them.
"Professor, it was Malfoy who provoked me first! He insulted my mother and Fred and George's parents!" Harry said loudly. He wanted to say something more, but was stopped by the twins.
Professor McGonagall's punishment was a disguised protection for the three of them, and the twins understood this clearly.
"Ahem, cough." Umbridge stepped forward unwillingly, she said, "I think just confinement is not enough. It will not make them realize their mistakes and correct them."
Professor McGonagall closed her eyes and calmed her mind. She said: "The three of them are Gryffindor students. How to deal with them is my business. I don't need you to teach them. Dolores!"
"Do you think I'm dictating?" Umbridge smiled proudly, "Are you denying the authority of the Ministry of Magic and the Senior Investigator?"
Professor McGonagall took an angry step forward, looked at Umbridge, and said, "I have said, these three are my students, and it is my right to deal with them!"
"Actually, Minerva, this is also my power." Umbridge said with a smile, "Education Order No. 25, the minister just sent it."
"The High Inquisitor shall henceforth have the ultimate authority over all punishments, sanctions and deprivations involving Hogwarts students, and shall have the authority to amend such punishments, sanctions and deprivations imposed by other faculty members."
When the education order was read out, Umbridge deliberately read it loudly so that students who were nearby could hear the content of the education order clearly.
It spread to ten, and soon everyone knew about "Education Order No. 25", and Umbridge's power was almost equal to that of the principal.
Umbridge rolled up the parchment and put it in her handbag, still smiling.
She said proudly: "Given the serious violent tendencies of Mr. Potter and the two Mr. Weasleys, it is a shame that I have to ban these three from playing Quidditch again."
"Forbid us?" Harry's voice trembled a little, "Play... again?"
"Yes, Mr. Potter, I think a lifetime ban is more appropriate," Umbridge said, "You and the two Mr. Weasleys, and Drizzt, who did not appear today. You four, are banned for life."
A voice of dissatisfaction immediately sounded in the stands.
Malfoy and Crabbe should have been suspended, but Umbridge was only suspended from Gryffindor. Even Ada, who did not appear, was banned. This partiality and targeting was too obvious, even more egregious than Snape!
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is not a punishment for fighting on the court. This is clearly a continuation of the Ministry of Magic's slander and slander of Dumbledore. It is Umbridge trying to seize power!
Umbridge ignored the students' dissatisfaction and walked out of the stadium triumphantly.
