[HP] King of Slytherin

Chapter 37 Umbridge's Good Friday

When he opened his eyes again, a hazy white came into view.

"He's awake!" Someone shouted, and then a hurried footstep approached from far away.

"How do you feel?" Madam Pomfrey's voice came from beside her ear.

"Fortunately..." Hyland said vaguely, his vision gradually became clearer, and he saw clearly the room he was in. It turned out that he had returned to the medical wing of the school. "It's just that my head still hurts."

"Come on, drink this." Madam Pomfrey forced a bottle of bubbling potion into his hand.

Hyland drank it in one gulp, but the taste was still the same as before, like rotten vegetables.

"You still need to have an examination later," Madam Pomfrey said with a slight dissatisfaction as she glanced outside the door, "But right now, there are a group of people waiting to see you, although I strongly disapprove of this kind of behavior , it's a pity that the principal insists on doing this. Of course, if you don't want to see them, I can refuse them for you."

"Thank you ma'am, let them come in." For Madam Pomfrey's kindness, Hyland had no choice but to live up to it.

After a while, two familiar figures appeared beside the hospital bed.Madam Pomfrey graciously closed the curtains, leaving them a space to be alone.

"How long have I been asleep?" Hyland sat up and rubbed his swollen head.

Blaise stretched out five fingers and said lazily: "Five days, we almost thought you wouldn't wake up."

"Everyone is very worried." Astoria said softly, and thoughtfully poured him a glass of water.

"Thank you."

Hyland took the water and took a sip slowly, letting the smell of the potion fade away.

"How's Draco?" he asked.

"Better than you." Blaise said, "He was brought home by Mr. Malfoy, and he will not be able to come to school until next semester."

Hearing that Draco was saved, Hyland finally let go of a big stone in his heart.

"Where's Daphne?" He suddenly realized that there was one person missing.

Blaise's expression was slightly solemn: "There is someone in her family, and it seems that there is something important."

Hyland glanced at Astoria, and the smart girl immediately understood what he meant.

"They don't want to see me, and I don't want to see them," she said dryly.

Hyland wanted to persuade him, but recalling his previous situation, he gave up the idea.Many things can only be fully understood after one really thinks about them clearly, and outsiders cannot intervene in this process.

"Tell me something to make you happy," Blaise blinked. "Umbridge is going to die."

"Oh?" It was really good news, Hyland asked with great interest, "What's the matter with her?"

Blaise organized his language and slowly told him what happened in the past few days.

It turned out that just after Hyland and Harry went to the Ministry of Magic successively, a great chaos broke out at Hogwarts.

In an attempt to hold Umbridge down, the twins Frese and George staged a prank that turned an entire corridor on the fifth floor into a swamp, forcing students to punt to class.

"I was there at the time," Astoria interjected with a sly smile, "and helped them a little."

"What did you do?" The other two looked at her curiously.

"Gryffindor's aesthetics are really bad," Astoria shrugged, "so I suggest they plant a few Pudora weeds to decorate the lifeless swamp."

"So that's what you did!" Blaise suddenly realized.

Pudora grass, a plant that looks extremely soft, has a mild temperament.Of course, the premise is not to try to use magic on it. Once any wizard attacks it, the Pudora grass will grow like crazy and secrete a stinky juice.Therefore, when housewives deal with it, they will take physical methods, that is, unplug it by hand.

"This idea is wonderful." A voice suddenly came from outside the curtain, and a group of people rushed in one after another. It was Fred who spoke.

Hyland looked at them in surprise, the Weasley twins, Harry, Ron, Hermione, Anthony, Susan, and it was Theodore who walked slowly at the end.

"Why are you here?"

"I heard you woke up, we came to see you." Harry said.

"I didn't go all the way with them," said Theodore haughtily, "it just happened to happen."

"Who cares to be with you?" Ron said immediately.

"Ron!" Hermione glared at him, and turned to Hyland with a smile on her face, "Harry told us already, I think we all owe you a thank you, if it wasn't for you when the Ministry of Magic , we will never come back.”

"Don't take it to heart," said Hyland, who did it for Dumbledore's sake.

"Thanks, anyway," said Harry sincerely.

"Thanks," Ron whispered, ears flushing.

"Hey, let's not talk about this." George squeezed over, "Greengrass, are you interested in cooperating with us? How come we never thought of using Pudora grass? Umbridge's toad is squatting all day now Weeding in the swamp and still smelling like a troll or something, it's a beautiful job!"

Astoria smiled sweetly and said, "There will be opportunities in the future."

"By the way, who turned Umbridge into a fart?" Fred asked enthusiastically. "A Slytherin too?"

"It's me." Theodore said slowly, "I heard that she had a constipated face all day long, so I kindly gave her some potion that would help her stomach, but I accidentally poured it. Put too much."

"Professor Snape will be proud of you." Blaise patted him on the shoulder.

Everyone else laughed.

"Why did you do anything to Umbridge?" Hyland suddenly thought of this question.

Several Slytherins looked at each other, and finally Blaise said, "Because of you."

Hyland opened his eyes wide and looked at him puzzled.

After being cast with the Oblivion Curse that day, Umbridge walked back to his office in a daze.She sat stupidly for a while, and the pictures before her amnesia kept flashing, and she suddenly remembered what happened in the employment consultation.Recalling the hatefulness of Hyland and Snape, she was determined to teach them a lesson, so she came to the Slytherin common room with a cold face.

Neither was there, and Umbridge was determined to stay there until they returned.

Some Slytherins noticed something was wrong, and secretly informed the grade chiefs.Soon, members of the black magic group Fromicket gathered together, silently monitoring Umbridge's every move.

At this moment, the Weasley twins came to tip off and told them the news about Hyland.After hearing about the whereabouts of the chief lord, members of Fromicate discussed for a while and finally made a decision.

The Lion Court and the Snake Court have always disliked each other, but it is rare that they have reached a consensus on this matter.

Make trouble for Umbridge and cover for Hyland (Harry)!

"That's what happened," Blaise said finally.

Hyland lowered his head to drink the water, using this action to hide the weird warmth in his heart, but the corners of his mouth curled up involuntarily.

"It's more than that, this time it's a complete mess," Hermione said.

"What else?" Hyland asked puzzled.

"I know this!" Ravenclaw prefect Anthony said with a smile. He cleared his throat and said as if making a report, "I need to make a condemnation on behalf of Ravenclaw! Your methods are really technical. It's too low, when I passed by Umbridge's office, I saw two big men picking the lock with a piece of iron!"

The little snakes turned their heads away one after another. Needless to say, it must be Gore and Crabbe from their own college.How embarrassing!

"Why don't you use a universal knife? Why don't you use Harp's Law?" Anthony became more and more excited when he spoke. Hermione coughed loudly before he restrained himself a little. "In order to give them the correct guidance, I decided to play in person!"

"So you did the serial trap in the office." Susan gave him a meaningful look.

"That's right!" Anthony smugly said, "I even called on all Ravenclaws to come together! We hate people who don't respect knowledge the most!"

Thinking of the day when Umbridge collapsed in blackness, everyone took a breath.

"The Ravenclaw guys are too ruthless!"

Suddenly, Ron asked suspiciously, "How did you escape?"

"Huh?" Anthony hadn't turned the corner yet.

"I heard that after Umbridge was blown up, he went crazy looking for the killer with his wand," Ron explained. "Isn't anyone caught?"

"No." Anthony touched the back of his head, also in a daze.

"Of course she can't catch anyone," Susan said.

Everyone looked at it in unison, could it be that Hufflepuff also participated?

"She came to our college to ask for clues. As you all know, Hufflepuffs have always had the largest number of people, and they don't like to lie." Susan said briskly, "We answered the questions very cooperatively, but she couldn't catch anyone. No wonder we."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. Once an honest person lies, the power is really terrifying!

All the truth has been revealed, and Umbridge's unfortunate experience was the result of the concerted efforts of the four colleges.

Thinking of this, everyone burst out laughing.

"No noise is allowed in the medical wing!" Madam Pomfrey walked in angrily, "Get out of here! Visiting time is over!"

All the people who came to visit were kicked out by her.

"And you, Yatra, it's time for a physical examination." Madam Pomfrey said with a straight face.

"I see, madam." Hyland said cooperatively.

……

Dumbledore and Grindelwald came several times during the rest of their recuperation period. They were busy besieging the Death Eaters, so they came and went in a hurry every time.In addition, people came to visit from time to time, and through their dictation and reading the "Daily Prophet", Hyland also got a lot of news one after another.

The head of the Greengrass family died of illness, and his widow committed suicide on the night of the funeral.

The captured Death Eaters were all sent to Azkaban after the trial, but a few escaped on the way, including Bellatrix, Old Nott, and Lockhart.Suspected unknown person robs prison.

Fudge finally acknowledged the return of the Dark Lord and apologized.

Under the strong protest of the public, Fudge resigned sadly, and the new Minister of Magic was an old acquaintance Scrimgeour.

In fact, Scrimgeour himself visited Hogwarts after becoming Minister for Magic.

"Yatra, someone is looking for you again." Madam Pomfrey said dissatisfied.

"Oh, who is it?" Hyland looked at the door in surprise, only to see Scrimgeour striding in.

"Rufus, you look more energetic than last time." Looking at the other party's flushed face, Hyland couldn't help laughing.

"It's all thanks to you," Scrimgeour said gravely.

"What are you doing at Hogwarts?" Hyland asked.

"Come and talk to Dumbledore," Scrimgeour said succinctly, "and drop by to see you."

Hyland didn't ask much, he believed that Scrimgeour was a smart man and would not oppose Dumbledore at this time.

"By the way, there is one thing I want to trouble you with." Hyland thought for a while and said.

"Go ahead." A smile appeared on Scrimgeour's rigid face, "There is no need to be too polite between you and me."

"I don't think it's necessary to keep Umbridge at school any longer," Hyland said dryly.

"Dumbledore also told me about this matter, I wanted to think about it, but since you said so, I will deal with it." Scrimgeour suddenly lowered his voice, "I know you don't like her, don't worry , her time at the Ministry of Magic will not be long."

Hyland smiled and said, "You're so understanding, Rufus."

Scrimgeour quickly fulfilled her promise, and the next morning, Umbridge received a notice of dismissal, and she was no longer Deputy Minister of Magic and Senior Prosecutor.In fact, after she returned to the Ministry of Magic, she still needed to stay in her job for inspection.

Umbridge escaped from Hogwarts in desperation. Hogwarts was like a festival that day, with lights and festoons everywhere.

Hyland's body was getting better day by day, but just before he was discharged from the hospital, another unexpected visitor came.

"Daphne?"

"Hi, Randall." Daphne's face was thin, "I wanted to come here earlier, but I need someone to preside over the funeral at home, so I can't leave for a while, so I'm delayed until now."

"Sit down first." Seeing that her expression was not good, Hyland was really worried that she would faint while talking.

Daphne walked quietly on the chair and said slowly, "Did you guess something, Randall?"

Hyland watched her silently.

Daphne suddenly smiled: "Actually, I should have told you a long time ago, instead of choosing to hide it. Randall, will you blame me?"

Hyland said softly, "How could it be?"

"My father died a long time ago." Daphne said sadly.

"What?" Hyland was startled.

"Astoria was tricked out of the manor by Madame Narcissa and fell into the hands of Death Eaters. My father tried to save her, but was killed by Bellatrix." Daphne said lightly, " They also sent someone to take charge of the manor and cast the Imperius Curse on my mother. Because I was going back to school, they were afraid that Dumbledore would find out, so they didn't shoot me. But shortly afterwards, they threatened my mother, and I was forced to Handed over the key to the treasure house of the family inheritance."

When she spoke, her slender fingers were trembling, and she had to clenched her fists tightly.

Hyland felt annoyed, of course he noticed Daphne's abnormality, and later even witnessed the transaction between "Mr. Daphne took extra precautions, but she didn't expect her friend to be under duress.The box that Daphne handed over that time was the so-called treasure house key.

"A few days ago, Aurors suddenly came to my house and took away the Death Eaters who pretended to be my father. My mother begged hard not to publicize it, otherwise the reputation of the Greengrass family would be ruined. I didn't understand why at the time I want to do this." Daphne said in a daze, her eye circles were already red, "Later, she committed suicide that night. It turned out that she had thought about it a long time ago, to let the family's glory be passed on intact, without any contamination. Death Eater Gangsters are losers and we cannot have any connection with them."

Hyland looked at her with pity, and said softly, "Daphne, cry if you want to."

Daphne covered her eyes with her hands to keep the tears from falling, but her voice was choked.

"I've always been so scared. I was afraid that my mother would die. I was afraid that something would happen to Astoria. I was afraid that it would hurt Blaise and you. But my mother died anyway, and Astoria and I are the only ones at home."

Tears oozed out between her fingers and flowed down her cheeks. Daphne bit her lips tightly to prevent herself from crying.

"You forgot that you still have friends," Hyland looked outside the door, and Blaise stood there at some point, "You still have us."

Blaise walked over slowly and called softly, "Daphne."

Daphne cried "wow", put her arms around Blaise's waist, and buried her face in his chest.

"Randall is right, you are not alone." Blaise stroked her hair, "I will protect you."

Daphne broke down in tears.

"Daphne," Brace said resolutely without knowing what came to mind, "let's get engaged."

Daphne raised her head, her body was stiff.

"If you want," Blaise said with a languid smile, "we can have an engagement ceremony. My mother has been urging me to hurry up and settle down. I think she will like you. That way we can all be together in the future , and then have two children, one surnamed Zabini and the other surnamed Greengrass... Is it a bit far-fetched?"

"I..." Daphne murmured, "Can I?"

"As long as you want." Blaise took her hand.

"Of course I would." Daphne blurted out.

Brace kissed her hand lightly: "It's my honor, my princess."

Daphne's ears turned red uncontrollably.

Looking at the sweet couple, Hyland suddenly felt a little envious, and he thought of Lucius.Compared with two friends who are purely in love, they both have too many responsibilities. Even if they have each other in their hearts, they cannot easily say it out.He couldn't live for Lucius alone, and Lucius could never give up everything to love him.However, they all have a special place in their hearts, as long as they can accommodate each other, that's enough.

……

Hyland was ill this time, and it took a long time to recover.By the time he recovered and was discharged from the hospital, the year-end banquet was over.

Slytherin won this year's House Cup, and Umbridge deserved credit for that, but no matter what, a win is a win.The little snakes happily caroused all night in the common room, and specially asked someone to bring a bottle of Flame whiskey to Highlander.Unfortunately, it was confiscated by Madam Pomfrey with a straight face.

After packing his luggage, Hyland left the empty bedroom.

The return train was about to start, and Hyland met Astoria in the box.She leaned intimately beside Daphne, her face was a little pale, and her expression was a little dazed.Seeing Hyland's view, she nodded slightly, but didn't say much.

She never knew that her father had passed away, and even complained about their indifference.But it's too late to regret it now.

Hyland suddenly thought of himself, if Dumbledore passed away, but he didn't let go of his grudge, it would be a lifetime of regret.Fortunately, he didn't do that.

He put his luggage away, sat on the seat by the window, and suddenly remembered Dumbledore's words.

"If you want, Gellert and I... want to give you a home."

a home?

Hyland couldn't help stepping back while looking at the scenery, a big arc was drawn at the corner of his mouth.
