Hogwarts: I am the White Demon King
#488 - Chapter 488: Counterattack! Counterattack!
Without much delay, news spread from the castle that Harry Potter would no longer be attending the Defense Against the Dark Arts class.
Consequently, Colin, along with his group of ardent admirers, rushed to Harry to inquire about this matter.
"Of course, it's true," Harry said, casually retrieving the Skiving Snackboxes he had previously ordered from the twins, and offering them to Colin and the others.
"These are Skiving Snackboxes made by Fred and George, take them. I won't be needing them for now, but you guys probably will."
Besides Harry, Ron also voluntarily withdrew from the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, expressing his solidarity with Harry.
Even Hermione and Neville, the two model students, upon learning that Umbridge was planning to use Veritaserum, decisively gave up the Defense Against the Dark Arts class.
Umbridge was furious about this, as she hadn't anticipated things turning out this way.
What troubled her even more was that Harry and his friends were more united than she had expected.
Whenever she tried to talk to Hermione and the others, Harry Potter would lead a group of people, wands in hand, to wait outside her office, creating the impression that they would barge in and fight to the bitter end if they heard any disturbance.
In Harry's words, if you mess with me, we'll all go down together. Anyway, we're all underage, and we don't need the grades from this class.
Umbridge was enraged, and she began deducting house points from Harry and his friends like crazy, and punished them with detentions.
To this, Harry responded, deduct as many points as you like, we won't even frown, or we're not Gryffindors.
However, when it came time for detention, not a single one of them showed up in Umbridge's office. Upon inquiring, Umbridge discovered that all these students were "serving detention" with Sebastian.
At this, Umbridge's face almost twisted with anger. After a fit of rage in her office, she decisively sought out Professor McGonagall to complain.
After learning about Harry and his friends' actions, Professor McGonagall was extremely troubled, and she had to spend a lot of time talking to them.
However, Harry and his friends had already agreed on a unified story.
"Sorry, Professor, my time is precious, and I must seize the time to improve my strength so that I can fight against Voldemort in the future."
"Professor, Umbridge only teaches theory. Relying solely on theory won't get us high marks in the O.W.L. exams."
"We can study on our own according to the textbook, and Harry's tutoring is also very effective."
"Professor McGonagall, Umbridge is planning to use Veritaserum against us. Her actions don't deserve her being a professor at all, so we naturally don't want to respect her."
Veritaserum?
Professor McGonagall hadn't expected this answer at all.
Harry and his friends are members of the Order of the Phoenix, and they have no ability to keep secrets under Veritaserum. If they leak some important information because of this...
Professor McGonagall was shocked and angry, and she was about to go to Umbridge to confront her.
"Professor, don't get excited. We have no evidence, and Umbridge will definitely not admit it. We can just ignore her."
"Alright," Professor McGonagall said decisively, "You can do whatever you want, I'll deal with Umbridge."
After all the commotion, Harry and his friends didn't receive any punishment except for the deduction of points. As for house points, no one cared anymore, because all four houses had zero points.
With these role models, students everywhere were giving up the Defense Against the Dark Arts class. The bolder ones, like Harry and his friends, disappeared from the classroom without even saying goodbye.
The more timid ones secretly slipped a Skiving Snackbox into their mouths before Umbridge's class, and when Umbridge asked them to read the textbook, they began to vomit and have fevers.
Umbridge had no way to deal with it, so she could only send these students to the hospital wing. As a result, only Malfoy and his cronies were left in the classroom.
Therefore, she completely abandoned all pretense and began to issue all kinds of bizarre Educational Decrees, making the students miserable.
She also turned on Trelawney, firing her in front of everyone, and then trying to drive her out of the school. It was Dumbledore who stepped in and, as headmaster, kept Trelawney at the school.
However, where there is oppression, there is resistance. The more Umbridge stirred things up, the more rumors circulated in the school, and all these rumors were about her dark history.
"Umbridge is extremely good at pleasing superiors. She became the Senior Undersecretary by sucking up to them."
"Relying on someone backing her up, she often takes credit for her colleagues' achievements."
"She says she comes from a pure-blood family, but in fact, her mother is a Muggle, and her father is a cleaner in the Ministry of Magic."
Along with the rampant rumors, Umbridge and her Inquisitorial Squad also faced countless misfortunes.
The first to suffer were the members of the Inquisitorial Squad. While walking on the road, they were often attacked by inexplicably appearing spells.
Montague was even knocked unconscious, and his head was stuffed into a toilet in the girls' bathroom, eventually discovered by a Slytherin girl.
For a time, the members of the Inquisitorial Squad were all in danger, and some students, out of fear, even voluntarily withdrew from Umbridge's team.
Umbridge was not having an easy time either. Some students would secretly cast Confundus Charms on her, causing her to get confused and walk in the wrong direction when entering the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom, directly hitting the doorframe.
When she was in her office, there would always be inexplicably appearing powerful Dungbombs exploding. The keyhole was also blocked, so she couldn't escape even if she wanted to, and could only use a blasting charm to blow open the office door.
Within a short period of two months, she had broken many doors and earned the title of 'Door Blaster' among the students.
In addition to this, the corridor outside Umbridge's office had become a swamp at some point. She tried all kinds of spells but couldn't undo it. After failing to get help, she could only have Filch ferry her across every day.
… … … …
The pranks against Umbridge continued one after another. During this time, she was barely maintaining the situation by constantly fighting wits with the students. As time passed, Halloween quietly arrived, and the atmosphere became even more bizarre.
On Halloween night, she clearly remembered closing the windows tightly before going to bed, but when she woke up in the middle of the night, she found that the windows had been opened.
What made her even more horrified was that there were strange sounds coming from outside the window, as if some unknown existence was spying on her, but she couldn't find anything when she looked around. She was constantly on the move all night.
In the morning, when Umbridge appeared at the teachers' table, she had heavy dark circles under her eyes, and even the fake smile she usually maintained seemed unusually stiff.
The sky was gray, the heavy clouds hung low, and thunder rumbled in the distance, as if foreshadowing that something bad was about to happen.
Umbridge sat in her seat, without any appetite, and only took a few biscuits and a glass of milk for breakfast.
Seeing this scene, Harry and Fred and the others immediately whispered to each other.
"Hey, Fred, how effective are those biscuits? Are you sure they'll work?"
"Don't worry, Harry, you've seen our Canary Creams. These biscuits are even more effective than those."
"That's good. The professional camera team is ready, let's see if Umbridge will eat the biscuits."
"She definitely will. We haven't tampered with her food since the start-of-term feast, so she's not at all wary of the food now."
Under the expectant gaze of the crowd, Umbridge picked up a biscuit and ate it expressionlessly.
