Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 1004 Conflict

   Retribution!

   Definitely retribution!

  After Umbridge tried to blow up the radio, but was injured by a violent explosion caused by the explosion spell colliding with the radio, and was carried to the school hospital, all the students in the school cheered and celebrated.

  Because the Gryffindor students were inquiring about the content of the broadcast last night, the matter broadcasted by the wizard lookout station spread among the students of the school at an alarming speed. Everyone was curious about the past of the pink toad.

According to the information leaked by the students of Hufflepuff College who have not confiscated the radio, Umbridge has nothing to do with the Selwyn family, and her father is not dead at all, let alone the Wizengamot The outstanding figure of Umbridge - Umbridge's father was the old Umbridge who cleaned the Ministry of Magic.

  This incident broke out, and everyone got a new understanding of their senior investigator.

  Although the Hogwarts students didn't feel as strongly about this matter as others, Umbridge's series of teasing operations still made people feel contemptuous and contemptuous.

  Of course, the news leaked by the wizard watch station is far more than these things. For example, the station even invited a group of Umbridge colleagues who claimed to be Umbridge’s colleagues to appear on the radio station as guests, and broke the news about Umbridge’s dark history together.

  Of course, the so-called guests are fake, but they are real people, and they still use compound medicine to disguise, so no one can find any flaws at all.

   Sirius and Lupine's operations are simply flying off.

   "Umbridge is extremely good at ingratiating himself to his superiors."

   "Umbridge often ruthlessly took credit for the work of his fellow colleagues and kept it for himself."

  Looking at the excited, chattering Hufflepuff students, many Gryffindor and Ravenclaw students regretted not being able to hear the radio broadcast.

  Especially the Gryffindor students cast resentful glances at Albert, even though they all knew that it was inevitable that the radio would be confiscated by Umbridge.

   But after this incident, everyone was full of interest in the wizard's lookout, and they all started thinking about how to get themselves a radio.

   "By the way, the radio broadcast said that Umbridge can summon a physical Patronus, which is said to be a Persian cat. Do you think this is true?"

   "A guy like her can summon a Patronus?"

  Many people do not believe that Umbridge can summon the Patronus, this kind of thing sounds fake.

  In everyone's impression, only a righteous wizard can summon the Patronus.

   And Umbridge looked like a wicked old hag anyway.

   Moreover, the Patronus Charm is undoubtedly a very advanced spell, and many wizards cannot summon a physical Patronus in their lifetime.

  Umbridge's various bad performances prove that she is not a brilliant wizard.

  Of course, if you want to get an explanation, asking Albert is undoubtedly the fastest way, and people have cast their inquiring eyes on the genius at Hogwarts.

  Finally, Albert's old friend Diggory took this profound question to ask him for advice, while the others pricked up their ears to eavesdrop.

"Summoning the patron saint has nothing to do with the wizard's good or evil. Whether the spell is successful or not depends on the mood of the caster." Albert looked at the helpless Digory and explained calmly: "If you summon the patron saint with malice In the case of the Patronus, there is a high probability that the spell will backfire, which will backfire on the wizard himself, because the Patronus Charm needs to recall happy memories before it can be used."

"So, even a dark wizard, as long as he summons the Patronus with happy memories, he can successfully summon the Patronus." Albert glanced at the stunned students and continued to explain, "The so-called happy memories are not Not the happy memories of negative emotions like torture, but some positive, positive memories, such as good grades on a test, going out with a girlfriend for the first time, winning a Quidditch championship with a friend, and so on.”

   "Of course, dark wizards don't summon Patronus. On the one hand, they are afraid of the backfire of the spell. On the other hand, they don't need Patronus to resist Dementors, because they are evil enough."

   "You should take some time to give everyone a few sessions of Defense Against the Dark Arts. This year's Defense Against the Dark Arts is really terrible." Digory sighed, expressing the feelings of countless students.

In fact, he didn't want to take Defense Against the Dark Arts theory class at all, and hated Umbridge from the bottom of his heart, but considering that his father worked in the Ministry of Magic, in order to avoid bringing troubles to the family, Digory didn't give up directly. that class.

   "Umbridge will probably be unhappy, and..."

   "Damn it, you still care about her being unhappy," Diggory muttered.

"I'm very busy." Albert brought the topic back, "Of course, theoretically speaking, although there is a slight gap in magical power between wizards, even wizards with weaker magical powers can still support their use. For the vast majority of spells, the difference is probably that powerful wizards have an easier time casting spells that require powerful magic."

   "However, even if the magic power is average, as long as you practice seriously, you can actually use the Patronus Charm. It is nothing more than the time spent practicing the spell, so it is not surprising that Umbridge has mastered the Patronus Charm."

  "The broadcast said that Umbridge's ability to become the director of the Prohibition of Misuse of Magic Office has something to do with her being able to summon a physical patron saint. Is this true?" Someone asked again.

"There is a saying in the magic world that a wizard who can incarnate a patron saint is called a "righteous person". In some respects, there are still bonus points. Umbridge can become the director of the Office of Prohibiting the Abuse of Magic, and he can only say the patron saint curse." Just one of the reasons."

   "Justice?"

When several students heard Albert say this, they began to lean over and retch. Obviously, no one thought that Umbridge, who punished students with a black magic quill, would be a righteous person .

  The next afternoon, Umbridge was successfully discharged from the hospital under Madam Pomfrey's advice.

  No way, from the beginning of school to the present, the frequency of Umbridge entering the school hospital is really a bit high.

  After she got the news, she was so angry that she almost smashed the blackened office, and she even planned to put those annoying Hufflepuff students in confinement and teach them how to shut up.

  Before that, Umbridge intends to confiscate the Hufflepuff radios first, and kill those **** broadcasts.

   No way, even the Ministry of Magic couldn't find the source of the wizard's watch station broadcast.

Umbridge's plan quickly ran into trouble, as no one could open the door for her, and the Hufflepuffs seemed to expect Umbridge to block the door, so they returned to the common room early, or went straight to the The library, don't give Umbridge a chance at all.

  Now they all cherish the daily Wizard's Lookout broadcast, which is one of their sources of happiness.

  The content of today's broadcast did not disappoint them, it continued from what happened last time.

  "When she became a low-level intern in the Misuse of Magic Office, she tried to court the director of the Misuse of Magic Office who took good care of her."

  "She has always wanted to start a relationship with her boss, and everyone knows about it."

   "I almost really thought they were going to be together."

   "Umbridge was a hard-working and ambitious girl back then, at least on the surface. Everyone liked her very much and took good care of her. But, I didn't expect..."

   "Yes, everyone saw her true face later."

  “After she was drunk and uttered the truth, even the director who had a crush on her kept her at arm’s length.”

  "In order to squeeze into the circle of pure-blood wizards, she will always talk to them about her extremely cold-blooded and cruel views in order to gain their approval."

   “It’s undeniably successful.”

   "Umbridge has been promoted all the way, and he became the director of the Prohibited Misuse of Magic Office before he turned thirty."

   At this moment, the door of the Hufflepuff common room opened suddenly, and Professor Sprout led Umbridge into the Hufflepuff common room.

  At this moment, the radio on the fireplace happened to be talking about the latest rumors about Umbridge and Fudge's romance.

   "This is actually absurd. Both Umbridge and Fudge are old. Even if Umbridge really wants to start a relationship with his boss, I think Fudge should not like her, unless Fudge has special tastes."

   "However, there may be some dark secret between the two, otherwise Umbridge would not be promoted so quickly to..."

  Boom!

  The radio was suddenly bombarded by the explosive spell.

   It’s just that, this time, the radio didn’t explode, but a piece of black smoke floated up, forming a text: I wish you happiness!

   Everyone turned their heads to look at the direction the spell was coming from, and they all noticed Professor Sprout and Umbridge who had just entered the lounge.

   "I remember that radios were banned in school." Umbridge coldly glanced at the students present in the common room.

   "Professor, this radio appeared by itself and played that broadcast automatically." Prefect Ernie McMillan said bravely, "If you don't believe me, you can ask everyone, we can't turn it off."

   Ernie McMillan's words were echoed.

   "Didn't I turn it off just now?" Umbridge's fake smile grew brighter.

   "Professor, we are not allowed to use black magic." Ernie McMillan cast a look of help at Professor Sprout.

"You shouldn't have used the Explosive Charm rashly just now." Professor Sprout gave Umbridge an unfriendly look, and said indifferently: "If it explodes like last time, all the students here will be injured. , and I recall that the Ministry of Magic does not support the use of the Dark Arts."

   At this moment, all the students came back to their senses, and all looked at Umbridge in astonishment.

   This guy definitely did it on purpose just now.

  If the radio blows up, everyone will get hurt.

  The students in the lounge all stared at Umbridge unkindly, but the latter said indifferently, "There are always special circumstances."

   "Special circumstances?" Professor Sprout's tone became colder. She turned to her students and asked, "Who else has a radio, take them all out together!"

"Without the professor, we don't have a radio here, and the head of the student union double-checked us when radios were banned in school." Ernie MacMillan pointed out, "But I know where there are radios, Slytherin There should be a similar thing over there."

"Very good." Professor Sprout said to himself, "I'll accompany you to find Snape and let him take you into the Slytherin common room. As long as those weird radios are confiscated, the school should There are no other radios."

   "They violated the school rules and should be punished." Umbridge's expression was a bit gloomy, and he obviously didn't intend to let it go.

"Breaching the school rules, are you sure?" Professor Sprout looked at Umbridge, his tone becoming more and more hostile, "The school rules don't allow the use of radios, but they didn't use the radios because the radios broadcast by themselves, if you want to punish , should go to the owner of the ghost radio."

   "And, I think you should have known about this a few days ago, and you didn't come to help them solve the ghost radio problem, and you plan to punish them with such a reason?"

  Professor Sprout would not let Umbridge punish his students.

  Umbridge took a deep look at Professor Sprout, said "very good", then turned and left.
