Chapter 941: Conflict
The atmosphere in the room was eternally weird, and it seemed that the angrier Evan and Harry became, the happier Umbridge became. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Mr. Mason, I've always wanted to talk to you, be honest, we're all smart people, you should recognize the current situation......"
"Do you mean Hogwarts or the wizarding world?" said Aven, not expecting Umbridge to be so direct.
"It's actually the same thing, you should understand that the days of Dumbledore's confrontation with the Mystics are over, there is no longer a need for great wizards, and the Minister is concerned about the long-standing state of teaching at Hogwarts. "I'm here on my own to help the Ministry of Magic change that and make sure that the school is up to par." As the president of the school's boys' student council and the best student, I would like your help?"
"I'm sorry, Professor, I don't have the same understanding of the current situation in the wizarding world as you do, I think war and confrontation have just begun, and there is a greater evil coming beyond the mystery man, and we should be prepared. Evan paused for a moment and continued, "And I don't think you can change anything, Hogwarts won't be affected by you. ”
"Do you think so, dear?" said Umbridge, grinning, not seeming to be angry, "I'm not surprised by your rejection, for long time, you have been so influenced by Dumbledore, even a young wizard as good as you are, and your head is full of illusions. You'll soon find out, though, and you'll soon see a change. I hope that when the time comes, you will seriously consider my advice and make a choice that may affect you for the rest of your life. ”
"I'll think about it!" said Aven, and then he saw Harry start writing again.
Red handwriting appeared on the parchment, and the back of his right hand was cut open and quickly disappeared.
Harry had a pained look on his face, and he couldn't hold back his screams.
He looked at Evan and Umbridge, who were sitting at the tea table, seemed a little aggrieved, and wrote again, "I can't lie!"
His mood was extremely complicated now, his best friend Evan and the woman who looked like a toad were sitting on the side drinking tea and chatting happily, watching him tear the back of his hand here over and over again, Harry felt very uncomfortable thinking about this.
Along with this uncomfortable feeling, there was a growing anger in his chest.
He has a feeling of betrayal, he will not admit defeat and will not let them see his weak side......
"Professor, Harry's black quill......"
"Oh, I'm glad you noticed that quill, it's a punishment for disobedient students, Mr. Potter has spread evil, vile, sensational lies in front of many students in class today, and he must learn to recognize reality. ”
"Isn't this punishment too severe?" said Evan coldly, frowning at Umbridge.
He had told himself to be calm and not to confront the other party head-on, but now he felt uncontrollably angry.
This kind of picture, no matter who it is, wants to beat Umbridge hard.
Either way, Evan couldn't stand idly by and watch Harry receive this punishment in front of him.
What calmness, what plan, after seeing this picture, all were thrown aside.
"Hogwarts professors have the right to decide how to punish students, and this is not against any school rules. Umbridge said, smirking smirk, "I think a little pain is good for Mr. Potter." ”
"But ......"
"That quill doesn't do anything indelible to the body, I know what you're trying to say, but it's not a dark magic object, it's made of witchcraft from Africa, and it doesn't violate any of the rules in force. Umbridge smiled and said, "Alright, let's leave Mr. Potter alone, he will take care of himself, I didn't invite you here tonight to let you have an opinion on how I was punished, let's go back to the previous topic, your boys' student council president......."
"I'm sorry, Professor, but I'm not in the habit of watching my friends get this kind of abuse. Evan said, walking up to Harry and snatching the quill from his hand, "Don't write, Harry!"
"Aven!" said Harry in surprise, excitement in his voice.
At this moment, with Evan's movements, all the anger and unhappiness from before disappeared.
"No, that's not going to work, Mr. Mason, I want you to know what you're doing?!" Umbridge said, rising from his chair with a hypocritical smirk on his face, "You're stopping my punishment of Mr. Potter, I can understand your impulse to do so, but I can't agree with it, I thought you'd be more sensible, you're a smart man......"
"I thought I would be more sensible. "But I'm overestimating myself, and we'll talk to Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall about how you punished Harry, and if I could, I'll publish it in the Hogwarts Witchcraft and Wizardry Newspaper to let the outside world know what you've done at Hogwarts." ”
"I'll talk to Professor Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall about it, and you can publish it in that nonsense newspaper, but first, you must understand that you are openly defying a professor's orders. Umbridge said, the smile on his face fading, "Maybe you've done this kind of thing a lot in the past, but I have to remind you that if you don't want to be expelled from school, let Mr. Potter sit down and continue with his punishment." ”
"Hmph, let's take a look!" said Aven, taking his wand out, "Now get out of the way, we're going back!"
Maybe Ron was right, he should have given this woman a Imperius curse or something.
If the professors wouldn't agree, Evan really wanted to.
He had to admit that he had been too impulsive to take Harry away.
In the current situation, there is no chance of winning head-to-head against Umbridge. As she herself said, she didn't violate the school rules or any existing laws, it was obviously a loophole in the law, but Umbridge had the right to do so, even if she said it.
One might think that her punishment of the students was a bit excessive, but it wasn't something to be fussed about, Umbridge had a reason to justify, but the price for Evan and Harry for disobeying the order was outright expulsion from the school......
