Chapter 201 Skeeter's Best News (3)

Rita Skeeter has lost her job since Hermione discovered Skeeter's secret.Because Hermione threatened that if she dared to write anything again, she would report Skeeter to the Ministry of Magic as an illegal Animagus.Rita Skeeter, who has been unemployed for a long time, looks very embarrassed and haggard, not as glamorous as before.The curls that had been carefully ironed before were found straightened and hung in a mess.The red polish had peeled off the two-inch pointed nails, and two fake jewels had fallen from the glasses.But she still carried her handbag, which might also contain a quill and parchment.

Just as Skeeter was seated, the door of the bar was opened again, and it was Luna Gudlov who walked in.

Jane knew her because she still had a vivid memory of what happened in the compartment of the train at the beginning of school.

At this point, Jane also understood Hermione's plan not to publish in the "Daily Prophet", because she was going to publish in "The Quibbler".

Skeeter was reluctant to do this at first, because Luna said that her father would not pay the manuscript fee, but Hermione held her hand, which made Skeeter have to give in.

It all started right after Harry finished his date with Cho, and Harry told Skeeter about everything that happened on the last night of the Triwizard Tournament.Since Jin is Jane's nominal cousin, Jane also joined the interview at the end, expressing her trust in Harry, and said bluntly: "I believe that Voldemort has returned, and who else can kill Harry with one blow?" And my brother, he's a fine wizard."

After the interview, Harry told her and Hermione about Cho.

Because Hermione asked Harry to come to the Three Broomsticks, Qiu was jealous. After all, today was Valentine's Day, and her date was going to meet other girls. It was impossible for Qiu not to be angry.However, Harry was so slow that he didn't react until Jane and Hermione explained everything. He didn't understand why Qiu was angry.

At that time, they had already returned to Hogwarts from Hogsmeade, and they happened to see Ron walking in heavily covered in mud. Obviously, his training today was not smooth at all.

Because Harry was banned for life by Umbridge, Ginny replaced him as the new Seeker.During this training session, Ginny told her and Hermione that Angelina almost cried because Ron couldn't block the Quaffle at all, but he could always give it to Ron if no one was paying attention. stop.

Until the day when the battle between Gryffindor and Hufflepuff started, Ron's state still hadn't changed in any way.Fortunately, Ginny found the Golden Snitch, and Gryffindor defeated Hufflepuff by a very large margin.

Jane didn't know how to comfort Ron. Perhaps the greatest comfort for him now was that no one bothered him.

By the end of February, a new article about Harry finally came out.For a while, Harry received letters from many people. Some people believed that what Harry said was true, but some people thought he was lying.

Umbridge was so annoyed by the incident that she banned her students from reading The Quibbler, or even talking about it.

But the more she restrained her, the more the students liked to discuss it in private.Sometimes when Jane was walking in the hallway, she would be stopped to ask questions because she and Harry had a better relationship.

Umbridge felt that her authority was being questioned, and she seemed determined to reestablish her authority by firing a teacher.So on Monday, she suddenly threw Trelawney's salute out of the castle.Professor Trelawney's exclamation echoed in the castle, and even Jane and Hermione, who were going to do their homework in the common room, stopped and ran outside the castle at the same time.

The shouts came from the hall, which was already full of students when Jane and Hermione arrived.Ron was standing in the crowd, and Jane and Hermione squeezed past.

"What happened?" Jane came to Ron's side, and saw Professor Trelawney standing in the middle of the hall with a wand in one hand.Holding an empty wine bottle in one hand, he looked completely insane.Her hair was all covered, and her glasses were askew, making one eye appear larger than the other, and her countless scarves and shawls were hung in a mess, making her look tattered.Beside her were two large boxes, one of which was upside down as if thrown from a staircase.Opposite her, stood the proud Umbridge.

"Looks like she's trying to drive her away," Ron said in a low voice.

Then Harry appeared out of nowhere and squeezed in beside Jane and Hermione.

Hermione looked at him in surprise: "Didn't you take—no, remedial Potions class?"

Harry stared intently at Professor Trelawney: "I heard screams and ran up. Snape came up too. What's going on here?"

As if answering Harry's question, Professor Trelawney screamed again: "No! No! This can't happen...impossible - I refuse to accept it!"

"You didn't expect this?" said Professor Umbridge in a high-pitched voice, seemingly amused: "Although you can't even predict tomorrow's weather, you should always be aware that you will be in my lecture Poor performance and no improvement since then must have gotten you fired?"

"You - you can't!" howled Professor Trelawney, tears streaming from behind the large glasses: "You - you can't fire me! I've been - I've been here for sixteen years! Ho-Hogg Watts is me - my home!"

"It used to be your home," said Professor Umbridge. "Until the Minister for Magic co-signed your dismissal order an hour ago. Now please leave the hall, you're embarrassing us."

Professor Trelawney finally couldn't help crying aloud. She fell and sat on her box, looking precarious.

Professor McGonagall suddenly walked through the crowd to Professor Trelawney, put her in his arms, and patted her on the shoulder: "Okay, okay, Sybil, calm down. Blow your nose, don't you think It's that bad, you're not leaving Hogwarts."

"Oh, is that so, Professor McGonagall?" Umbridge said viciously, taking a few steps forward, "Who approved this?"

"Me." A deep voice suddenly came from around the students. The oak door opened, and the students by the door hurried out of the way, and Dumbledore appeared at the door.Standing in the door frame, against the misty night, he had a sense of majesty.Dumbledore strode through the crowd towards Professor Trelawney, and came to her side.

"You, Professor Dumbledore? I'm afraid you don't know. I don't have—" Umbridge let out a piercing laugh, and pulled another roll of parchment from his robes: "—myself and the Minister for Magic Jointly signed dismissal order. According to "No.20 Education Order No. [-]", the Hogwarts top investigator has the power to inspect, retain for probation and dismiss any teacher who - that is, I - thinks that he does not meet the standards of the Ministry of Magic. I don't think Professor Trelawney is qualified. I have fired her."

"Of course you are right, Professor Umbridge. As the chief investigator, you have every right to fire my teachers. However, I am afraid that you do not have the right to expel them from the castle. This right may—" Dumbledore smiled, He bowed politely and said, "It still belongs to the principal. I hope that Professor Trelawney will continue to live in Hogwarts."
