Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Dog Jumps Over the Wall
"New Headmaster?" Harry struggled to sit up from his hospital bed, Hagrid's little brother Glopp was not lightly attacked, Harry had been lying in Madam Pomfrey's hospital for half a month.
"Yes, Harry, the new Headmaster is coming tomorrow, it's all written in today's Daily Prophet, you see. Neville handed Harry the Daily Prophet in his hand.
"Senior Inquisitor Lumbridge is caught in peachy rumors and fears losing his position as Acting Headmaster of Hogwarts......"
"Haha, show me that. "Ron looked very happy with a bandage on his left arm, he was a little less injured than Harry, and he was able to get out of bed and walk half a week ago.
"That damn old woman, who was ashamed in front of us, is finally her turn to be unlucky this time. β
Ron snatched Harry's Daily Prophet from his hand and read it aloud.
"Dolores Jane Umbridge, Senior Deputy Minister of Magic, Connelly Fudge's confidant, she served as the teacher of Hogwarts' Defence Against the Dark Arts class this year, after Fudge's many inexplicable promotions, Umbridge became the senior investigator of the Ministry of Magic at Hogwarts, and after the departure of former Hogwarts Headmaster Albus Dumbledore, he served as the acting headmaster of Hogwarts. β
"But that's the end of Umbridge and Secretary Fudge's dreams. A few days ago, Albus Dumbledore and many prestigious wizards launched the impeachment of Cornelius Fudge, and several major wizarding families also supported Cornelius Fudge to pursue his own personal interests during his tenure as Minister of Magic, forming a private army, with the intention of putting himself above other wizards. β
"This dictatorship is evident in Cornelius Fudge's use of his position to threaten the acquisition of shares in Hogwarts, where the Hogwarts Board members report to us that Fudge has used threats to acquire Hogwarts shares from them, and that Fudge has done so in order to satisfy his perverted desires and his little hobby of his underground lover Umbridge, allegedly ......"
What follows is another lingering and sympathetic tangled love history. Disgusted Ron to the point where he couldn't read anymore. He handed the newspaper back to Harry, "Harry, Umbridge is dead this time, Fudge is gone." As soon as the new Wizengamot-appointed principal arrived, Umbridge would have to fuck off. β
"That's great news. Harry laughed, but soon he couldn't laugh - he tugged at the wound on his back.
"Harry, are you alright. Ron said, "It's all Hagrid, and his little brotherβ"
"Ron. Harry looked at him sternly, motioning for Neville to be there.
"Uh. I mean, we shouldn't have gone to the Forbidden Forest, and we were scared and hurt by the sudden appearance of the centaurs. Ron looked at Harry unconfidently, "That's right. β
"Would Umbridge admit it?" Harry said inexplicably instead of Ron in reply, remembering her stinking face as a toad.

"Alright, try to concentrate, students. Professor Tofodi, the examiner for the invigilation of astronomy, said softly. "I know you're thinking all that messy Ministry of Magic news right now, but you'd better put it behind you now, we're on the exams. β
The candidates laughed, and most put their eyes on the binoculars again.
There was a loud thud from the field. Several students let out a shout of "Oops!" They wanted to see what was going on down there, only to be poked in the face by the end of the telescope.
Idle, Silver immediately pointed his telescope at the place where the loud noise was made, in the direction of Hagrid's cabin.
Hagrid's door suddenly opened, by the light peeking through the cabin. They could clearly see a burly figure roaring and waving his fists, surrounded by six people. Together, they emitted thin red lights in his direction, which could be seen from this. They seem to be trying to knock him unconscious with a stun spell.
"Holy!" said Michael, who also pointed his telescope there. Silver found that most of the students did the same.
"Oh my God!" said the examiner, Professor Tofodi, in shock, "but it's an exam!" but he didn't seem to have much else to do.
People don't have time to pay attention to their astrological charts. The red glow from the wand was still flying around Hagrid's hut. For some reason, the spell seemed to bounce off himβhe was still standing.
Shouts echoed across the field, and a man shouted, "Be sensible, Hagrid!"
Hagrid roared, "Fuck your sanity, Fudge is down, Delix, are you still following this woman to arrest me?!"
The Great Dogtooth was trying to defend Hagrid, and again and again it lunged at the wizards surrounding Hagrid until he was knocked to the ground by a stun spell. Hagrid roared in rage and threw the killer into the air. The man looked as if he had flown ten feet away and never got back up.
"Wow, that's cool. Antonin said.
"Look!" Padma screamed, leaning against her breastwork and pointing at the foot of the castle as the front door opened again. More light was cast on the dark meadow, and a long shadow was undulating like a wave, crossing the meadow alone.
"Now, seriously!" TOEFL said impatiently, "there's only sixteen minutes left, you know!"
But no one paid any attention to him: they were staring at the man at full speed toward the scene of the fight next to Hagrid's hut.
"How dare you!" shouted the figure as she ran, "how dare you!"
"Looks like Professor McGonagall. Silver pointed the telescope at the figure.
"Let him go, let go, listen to me!" Professor McGonagall's voice came from the darkness, "why are you attacking him? Umbridge, you're nothing at once, you have no qualifications or reason to do thatβ"
The girls screamed. Figures around the hut fired at least four stun spells at Professor McGonagall. Halfway between the cottage and the castle, the red light struck her. For a moment, she became so bright, emitting a strange red glow, and then she rose into the air and fell heavily to the ground on her back, no longer moving.
"Oh my God!" shouted Professor Tofodi, "what are they doing!" He looked like he wanted to stop Umbridge and the thugs, but he was the O.W.L.S. examiner, and he couldn't leave the exam room until the exam was over.
"Coward!" Hagrid roared, his voice clear to the top of the tower, and the lights flashed again in several places in the castle, "Despicable coward!"
"Despicable means!"
Hagrid threw up his arms and slammed them at the two closest attackers. They immediately collapsed, apparently knocked unconscious.
"Catch him, catch him!" Umbridge shouted at a sharp voice, but the rest of her helper seemed very reluctant to get within reach of Hagrid's fists. He retreated so fast that he tripped over an unconscious companion.
Umbridge looked panicked, and she cast a stun spell at Hagrid as she fled in the direction of the Forbidden Forest. (To be continued......)
