Chapter 275: The New Headmaster (1st Update)
"Dumbledore, where has he been?" said the Minister for Magic, Cornelius Fudge, struggling to his feet from the ground.
"I don't know......" Professor Umbridge also got up and dusted off his chest, "but at school he can't have apparitioned, so he certainly didn't run far......"
"Stairs ......" Percy Weasley reacted, then pounced, slammed the door open, and disappeared...... The Minister and two other Aurors followed him closely.
Umbridge wanted to follow, too, but she heard a moan in the corner.
She hurriedly trotted over to Jon's side, glanced at the blood on the ground with some disgust, and then tried to make a concerned expression: "Christopher, are you alright?"
"It's okay...... Nose hit the wall......" Jon stammered with a weak expression, "Professor, you don't have to worry about me...... It's even more important to capture Dumbledore!"
"Hmm. Umbridge nodded hurriedly, and then she turned to look at Kingsley Shaker who had just gotten up to the side.
"Kingsley, you take this kid to the school hospital, he's injured!" Umbridge said a word, and ran out of the principal's office.
Kingsley jumped up from the ground, frowned, and walked over with a nonchalant expression, carrying Jon on his shoulder. Apparently he didn't have a good face for the traitor who had just betrayed Professor Dumbledore.
Of course, with his broad arms, it is not a problem to carry a person.
At this point, Jon couldn't say anything, so he let Kingsley Shackle's rough carry him and walked out of the headmaster's office.
The Auror, named "Delix", fainted at the door of the principal's office...... He looked like he had been knocked unconscious and then kicked hard by something, so he was a little flatter than he had been.
And the ugly stone monster, though motionless, had an almost excited teddy on its face......
......
"You're in perfect health!" Madam Pomfrey said coldly, and then put away the bottles and cans beside the bedside.
Of course, Jon knew that his body was safe, but he still pretended to be relieved on his face: "Can I be discharged from the hospital?"
"Whatever you want. Madam Pomfrey walked away without looking back.
Jon heard her whisper over there, "Why didn't Professor Dumbledore kill you......"
It seems that in just a few dozen minutes, the news that Professor Dumbledore was kicked out of the school by the Ministry of Magic has spread throughout the campus...... His own "Umbridge's doglegs" have now become "notorious" on campus.
Jon thought as he climbed out of the bed and headed outside...... Madam Pomfrey wasn't prepared to stop him.
All the way from the school hospital to the sign at the entrance of the hall -
Jon swore he had never seen so many people crowded next to a sign. At least a quarter of the students in the school gathered around it, whispering.
Jon hurriedly walked over to the sign, stood on tiptoe, and saw what was on the sign:
"The Ministry of Magic has ordered Dolores Jane Umbridge (High Inquisitor) to succeed Albus Dumbledore as Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
The above regulations are in accordance with Education Order No. 28.
Signed: Cornelius Oswald Fudge, Minister of Magic. ”
......
The contents of the notice spread throughout the school overnight, and the people in the castle seemed to have heard that Dumbledore had fled after subduing the three Aurors, the High Inquisitor, and the Minister of Magic and his assistants, but the notice did not explain it.
Jon felt that the portraits of the headmasters played a key role in spreading the message
The next morning, as he strolled through the castle, he wore the badge that Monsieur Filch had brought to him early in the morning...... The silver badge is inscribed with an H letter, which looks beautiful.
It means "assistant principal", although Jon hears many people quietly calling him "headless".
The Dolores Support Society (.) has also received a new name, the Investigation Operations Group, and Professor Umbridge probably thinks it's a bad thing to have the same name as "Dumbledore's Army". All the would-be Death Eaters became members of this group, and they were all eligible to deduct points, confinement, and even corporal punishment on other students.
Jon, the assistant principal, naturally became the leader of the investigative action team......
However, no matter where he was in the Headmaster's Quartermaster, he could hear an eager discussion about "Dumbledore's escape from Hogwarts", though the rumors may have spread somewhat inaccurately-
For example, Jon hears a second-year Ravenclaw girl convincingly say to one of her classmates that Cornelius Fudge is lying in St. Mungo's Hospital, with Dumbledore's head turned into a toilet. When Jon is seen, the two girls flee in fright.
There was also a fifth-year Hufflepuff student who was convinced, "Dumbledore will definitely come back...... When we were in second grade, they couldn't get rid of him, and they couldn't. ”
But Jon didn't have time to reprimand them for their inappropriate remarks......
Because Filch ran over panting and stopped him.
"Christophe, Principal Umbridge is looking for you. Filch was a little out of breath: "She's in trouble at the door of the principal's office on the eighth floor, and I hope you can go and give her advice." ”
......
The new Headmaster of Hogwarts, Dolores Umbridge, did run into a little trouble
Because she found out that as the principal, she couldn't enter the principal's office.
When Jon arrived, he found that Draco Malfoy, Pansy Parkinson and the others had arrived early to advise Professor Umbridge.
"Headmaster, I suggest using the Crushing Charm!" Pansy Parkinson suggested, "Break this stone statue in the middle of the road, won't you be able to get in?"
"Great idea!" Umbridge nodded and drew his wand, "Everyone, back off!"
Jon and his companions hurriedly retreated, the farthest one that Jon also retreated to.
From afar, I saw Professor Umbridge shouting, "Reducto!"
A pale blue glow shot from the end of Umbridge's wand towards the Stonecube.
However, the moment the spell touched the stone monster, it suddenly made a 180°C turn, and was bounced back and shot towards Umbridge.
Umbridge's face changed, and he threw his wand away in fright.
But how can a man run past a spell?
Hearing only a loud "bang", she was drowned in a pile of rubble.
"Headmaster, are you alright?"
