Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 996 Peeves' tricks

  These "malicious" laughter made Umbridge's fake smile that he had cultivated all year round almost unable to break his defenses, but the thick skin of the politician still made her finish her sentence with a stiff smile.

  After Umbridge finished his boring and lengthy speech, Dumbledore briefly completed what Umbridge had interrupted just now, and directly announced that the banquet was over.

  Everyone can finally go back to the dormitory and sleep peacefully.

  When the professors left, there was a commotion in the hall.

   "Already very old, still wearing a pink cardigan."

   "Like a little girl's high-pitched voice, it's disgusting!"

   "Did she see something just now, and she actually had a nosebleed?"

   "It really is the curse of the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor."

   "That guy looks like a toad!"

   "Her hungry purrs are really loud."

  Listening to the whispering discussions of the students around him, Albert gave the dormmates a look, signaling to go back to the dormitory before talking about other things.

   "It was so much fun."

  Fred, George, and Lee Jordan couldn't help laughing after Albert cast a spell to prevent the sound from leaking out, which startled Tom in the cat's nest.

   "Do you think they will find something is wrong?" George turned his head and asked Albert who was bending over to hug the cat.

"I don't know. If the professors check it carefully, they will definitely find something wrong, but... problems like nosebleeds may only be regarded as accidents, and the professors actually don't like Umbridge very much." Ai Burt was not worried that the professors at Hogwarts would find out that something was wrong, because Umbridge would only be unlucky in the future, as long as he was not blind, he would realize that something was wrong.

   "We need to coordinate this matter with Peeves." Albert lightly stroked Tom's head, turned his head and said to the people around him, "I think it should come to our dormitory quietly tonight."

   As soon as the voice fell, there was a strange "giggle" laughter in the room, and Peeves appeared in the bedroom through the wall.

"We want you to cause some trouble for Umbridge, that's your area of ​​expertise." Albert looked at Peeves floating in mid-air, and said straight to the point, "Trust me, that guy wants to destroy Hogwarts. The current atmosphere at Hogwarts, when she takes control of Hogwarts and becomes the new Headmaster, she will try to drive you away."

  He didn't expect Peeves to understand, but he still gave a few people a general idea first.

"Don't be discovered by others. Now that Professor Dumbledore is still at Hogwarts, don't play too much. After Professor Dumbledore is driven away, no matter how much you torment Umbridge, we won't have Opinion."

Then, Albert took out a wooden box and threw it to Peeves, saying, "You can't use our things against us. This is a semester's worth. You can open it with the key I gave you, and this...maybe You can give Umbridge a little surprise tonight."

"Well, there is a specially modified Boggart in this box, you can sneak into Umbridge's room and release it when she is asleep." Albert made for Peeves A demo that released a boggart in a box, and inside it was a giant with a club.

   "Funny and funny have no effect on it." Albert put the giant back away, "Of course, the giant can only scare people, so I can take it back."

After finishing speaking, Albert threw the box to Peeves, and finally reminded, "Don't get caught, or your toys will be gone, and don't tell others that we gave you the things, or you will lose them in the future." You can't get fun toys from us."

   "Peves, use our product, let Umbridge go to hell!" Fred said excitedly, shaking his fist.

  After putting away his things, Peeves waved his hat at the four of them and flew away through the wall, clucking.

  Different from ghosts, Pipigui, who can switch between virtual and real, is undoubtedly more difficult to deal with.

   "Do you think Peeves will do what we want?" George turned his head and asked Albert who was stroking the cat.

"No, but Hogwarts will be more interesting. Peeves is not a ghost, mischief is his nature, and I just made a deal with him to transfer the objects of previous mischief to Um Richie. For this reason, Peeves has received material support from us, and has improved his mischievousness to a higher level. I guess Umbridge will suffer next."

   "I really want to see what surprise Peeves will bring us tonight." Fred said eagerly.

   "Forget it!" Albert covered his yawn and reminded: "I want to sleep, and if you go, you will probably be caught by the professors. Remember not to confess us when the time comes."

   "Why?" Fred asked suspiciously.

   "Think about it on your knees, Peeves will definitely make a big fuss."

  When Umbridge wakes up in a daze and finds a giant standing in the room, he will probably be scared out of his wits!

"Help to promote the "Defense Letters" and Wizard Lookout Station when you have time." Albert put Tom back into the cat litter, "At least, let most people know that there are these things, which will help to make sounds in the future, Also, you can quietly sell joke props, but don’t sell skipping candies now.” Albert changed into his pajamas and continued, “This year’s wizard card competition is ahead of schedule, registration starts next week.”

   Several people looked at each other in blank dismay. Although they didn't quite understand Albert's intentions, they still followed his intentions.

   After all, it is Albert, so there must be some reason for saying that.

  …

  Late at night, in the silent corridor, Peeves was humming a cheerful tune, heading towards Umbridge's bedroom.

  Peves doesn't follow anyone's orders, he just acts mischievous according to his own nature, but that doesn't stop him from having fun with Umbridge.

  If that woman brought him more joy.

  After enjoying the food delivered by the house elves, Umbridge soon fell asleep after filling his stomach.

  Peves quietly sneaked into the room, took out the box from the untraceable stretch bag Albert gave, opened it and put it in the drawer.

   Then, Peeves quietly hid himself.

  The drawers in the room begin to rattle.

Umbridge, who had just fallen asleep for a short time, was quickly awakened by the noise in the room. She picked up the wand on the bedside table in horror, and after lighting the tip of the wand, Umbridge was like a stuck machine. Raising his head, he looked in horror at the giant who appeared in front of him. The giant raised the thigh-thick stick in his hand and swung it down at Umbridge.

ah!

  Screams resounded throughout the castle, and Umbridge scrambled out of bed, slammed open the door, and ran outside desperately, screaming as he ran.

next moment.

  The belly-laughing Peeves appeared in Umbridge's room out of thin air. For the first time, he discovered that he could still play tricks on others like this, which was really funny.

  After Umbridge fled in embarrassment, Peeves opened the drawer, took out the box Albert gave him, took the Boggart back into the box, and put it in his treasure bag.

   Such a fun thing, naturally can't just throw it away.

  Peves is looking forward to other fun toys from those little ghosts.

  Amidst giggling, Peeves left Umbridge's room and disappeared.

   Shortly after Peeves left, Filch was the first to be attracted by Umbridge's screams. The administrator held an oil lamp and looked at the new professor who almost knocked him down.

   "Professor, what happened?"

   "Giant, a giant suddenly appeared in my room!" Umbridge screamed in horror, "It almost killed me."

   "Giant? There are no giants in the castle." Filch reminded gloomily, wondering if the new professor in front of him was having a nightmare.

  However, before Filch could speak, someone spoke for him.

   "Professor Umbridge, are you having a nightmare?"

Professor McGonagall, who was wearing pajamas and had her hair up, appeared in the corridor without warning. She looked at the new professor with a terrified face, and said blankly, "No giants will appear around Hogwarts castle. Can't get into your bedroom without being noticed."

   "A giant indeed!" Umbridge said incoherently.

   "Filch, what happened, I just heard someone screaming." Snape, wearing a gray shirt-style nightgown, appeared in the corridor with a livid face.

  No way, no matter who is woken up just after falling asleep, his face will not look good.

  Actually, many professors were attracted by the scream just now, including Professor Flitwick and Professor Sprout who had just fallen asleep, and Professor Dumbledore who was still asleep.

  Listening to Umbridge's almost magical speech, everyone thought that Umbridge was just having a nightmare and made a fuss, but Umbridge couldn't calm down after being frightened.

  In the end, Snape couldn't take it anymore, and he waved his wand directly to get a bottle of tranquilizer, and after Umbridge poured it, he finally figured out the whole thing.

   It's not really a nightmare, but how could it be, how could a giant be in a castle, let alone Umbridge's quarters.

   Everyone headed towards Umbridge's dormitory, even if there were giants, they could easily subdue them.

However…

Looking at the smashed door and the pink room, the muscles on Professor McGonagall's cheeks twitched slightly, and he turned his head and said to Umbridge: "There are no giants, and there are no traces left by giants. I suggest you go to Poppy and get some dreamless sleeping potion, it will make you sleep better at night."

   "This...it's impossible, I just saw it..." Umbridge murmured.

   "Perhaps, there is a Boggart hidden in the room." Snape quickly scanned the room, looking at the open drawer and conjecturing.

   "A Boggart?" Umbridge's eyes widened, looking extremely annoyed.

   "There is no trace of a Boggart in the room." Dumbledore squinted his eyes and scanned the room, shaking his head. "I think Professor Umbridge may be too tired and not suitable for the environment here to have a nightmare."

   "It must be a Boggart, it must be..."

  Finally, several professors helped to search the whole room, but still did not find the Boggart that Snape speculated.

  However, Umbridge was still unwilling to go back to the dormitory to rest, so he could only go to the school hospital to disturb Madam Pomfrey.

   "It's just that I'm too emotional. I think I'll be fine after a night of rest." After checking Umbridge's situation, Madam Pomfrey gave her a cup of dreamless sleeping potion.

  After leaving the school hospital, Snape suddenly asked, "What do you think of this?"

  What do you think?

   Stand and watch!

  Nobody here likes this guy the Ministry of Magic sent to Hogwarts to mess with.

   "A student intentionally scares Umbridge?" Snape thought of the reason, "Someone put the Boggart into her room quietly? Then, while she was running away, took the Boggart away?"

"But... why did that person do this? According to you, that person must have premeditated what he did, otherwise it would be impossible to be so clean, but our student has just arrived at school, let alone he has a grudge against Umbridge ?” Professor McGonagall dislikes Umbridge very much, and she has also read the information about Umbridge, and she is extremely dissatisfied with the Deputy Minister coming to Hogwarts to serve.

   It would be best if Umbridge went off on his own.

   "Maybe Peeves is playing a prank!" Filch conjectured.

   "Okay, go back and rest!" Dumbledore said.

"Dumbledore, are you really going to let it go like this? You should have heard Umbridge's speech at the banquet just now. The Ministry of Magic obviously intends to interfere with Hogwarts' teaching policies." Professor Flitwick followed Deng When Bullido went upstairs, he suddenly said, "A layman leading an expert will only make a mess of things."

"It's not that I want to let it go, but there are some things that I can't change now." Dumbledore said softly, "The current situation in the Ministry of Magic is not optimistic. Fudge is not willing to admit the return of Voldemort. He has messed everything up. , but... Albert made a prophecy, he thinks the situation will improve next semester."

"All right!"

  Professor Flitwick also knew that Dumbledore had his own difficulties. He stopped and said to Dumbledore: "If it doesn't work, let them torment!"

  Yeah, no matter how I think about it, I think there is a problem.

  Umbridge had a nosebleed twice, which is really not easy to say, but her stomach is rumbling, it must be someone deliberately amplified the sound.

  As for who it is, Professor Flitwick can guess the answer with his knees, and there is only one student who can do it quietly.

  As for Umbridge saying that he saw giants, maybe like Snape said, someone stuffed a Boggart into Umbridge's room.

  Who knew?

  Is this kind of thing important?

   It's not important!

   What kind of guy Umbridge is, the four deans have actually read the relevant materials, and they are too clear about this.

  As for where the information came from, Sirius and Lupine provided it to Professor McGonagall, and then to Professor Flitwick and Professor Sprout through Professor McGonagall. As for Snape, he himself took a copy from 12 Grimmauld Place.

  The other party came to Hogwarts to teach, and he knew it was nothing good.

   "I think Professor Umbridge is probably too tired, just rest for the night." Dumbledore said calmly.

  He knew too well what the other party was doing at Hogwarts.

   However, Dumbledore really didn't have that much energy to waste on Umbridge, he had more important things to do.
