Chapter 887: Umbridge Visits

He was interrupted by a heavy knock on the door.

Hermione startled, her cup slipping from her fingers and falling to the ground, and Tooth screamed.

The five of them looked together at the window by the door. There was a small figure outside the window.

"It's the woman!" Ron whispered.

"Hide down here!" Harry quickly unfurled the Cloak of Invisibility to cover him and Hermione next to him, and Ron got inside, but the Cloak was too small to fit the four of them.

"What to do?" Hermione was a little anxious, now that most of their bodies were leaking outside.

"Quick, Hermione, Animagus, let's jump on the bed. Van Lin said.

Under Hagrid's astonished gaze, Van Lin and Hermione turned into two white cats and lay peacefully behind the quilt.

Harry and Ron huddled together, scurrying to a corner of the room.

Tooth yelled desperately at the door.

Hagrid thought it was strange.

"Hagrid, hide our cups!"

Hagrid hurriedly shoved Harry and Ron's cups under Toothtooth's basket pad, and Toothtooth couldn't stop bouncing around in front of the front door. Hagrid squeezed it aside with his foot and opened the door.

Professor Umbridge was standing in the doorway, her green tweed cloak and earmuffs. She leaned back to see Hagrid, barely reaching Hagrid's waist.

"So," she said word by word, as if she were talking to a deaf person, "you are Hagrid?"

Without waiting for Hagrid to answer, she walked into the room and looked around with her eyes.

"Go away!" she shouted, using her handbag to lick her teeth.

"Hi, it's not malicious. Hagrid looked at her and said, "Who are you?"

"I'm Dolores Jane Umbridge. She looked at Hagrid's floor, and twice her eyes caught on the corner where Harry was standing.

"Dolores Jane Umbridge?" Hagrid said he was completely confused. "I know, you work with Fudge at the Ministry of Magic?"

"Yes, I'm the undersecretary of the Ministry of Magic," Umbridge said, holding her head high, and began to pace around the hut, checking every place in the room, and her eyes fell on the duffel bag and cloak by the wall.

"I'm a Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher now. ”

"You're so brave," said Hagrid, "and no one wants to do that job!"

"And a senior advisor to Hogwarts," Professor Umbridge continued, not paying attention to what Hagrid had to say about her.

"What?" the Krabang asked, frowning.

"You know I'm going to drink tea". Professor Ambregi said, gesturing to the fragments of Hermione's cup on the floor.

"Oh," Hagrid glanced helplessly at where Harry and Ron were standing, "Ah, it's Toothtooth, it knocked my cup to the ground, and that's why I switched to another one." Hagrid gestured to the cup he had used, the piece of dragon meat still on his face.

Professor Umbridge stood in front of him, looking at the expression on his face.

"I heard someone talking," she said calmly, "and I was talking to Yaya," Hagrid said.

"And it spoke to you, too?"

"Yes, speak to me in its language," Hagrid replied, he was already starting to get unnatural, "I have a heart to heart with it. ”

"I saw two pairs of footprints in the snow in front of your door, as well as some beast-footed ......," Umbridge said slyly.

Ron gasped in fright, and Harry immediately covered his mouth with his hand. Tooth was sniffing around Professor Umbridge, so she didn't seem to hear it.

"Oh, I just came back," Hagrid said, waving his hand, "maybe someone came to see me before I came back." ”

"But there are footprints that have not left. ”

"Oh, then I don't know," Hagrid said, touching his beard and looking again at where Harry and the others were standing, as if hoping they could help him. Professor Ambregie walked around the hut, looking around.

She bent down to look under the bed and opened Hagrid's kitchen cabinet. She was only two inches away from Harry, and Ron stood against the wall, Harry holding back until she left.

"You still have a cat?" Umbridge asked, surprised, as she spotted Vanlin and Hermione hiding behind the futon.

Almost instantly, Van Lin clearly felt that Hermione's body was almost straight, and it could be said that the cold hair stood on end.

Van Lin let out a weak scream, then stood up and put his paw on Hermione's body, like a real cat, licking Hermione's ...... with his tongue

Well, hair......

"Ah, that's my adopted Phil, and his girlfriend......" Hagrid quickly replied, which made Van Lin feel helpless.

Van Lin assured that he had heard the name somewhere, and that he did not know what kind of terrifying monster it was.

Umbridge didn't seem to think much of it, just said a good word, and looked away.

Then she looked at Hagrid's messy room, turned to her, and said, "What's wrong with you?

Hagrid hurriedly removed the dragon flesh from his face, and Van Lin wished he hadn't done that, so that the black-purple scars on Hagrid's eyes and the coagulated dragon blood on his face were even more obvious.

"Oh-, I've had an accident!" he said, limping.

"What kind of accident?"

"I fell. Hagrid said awkwardly.

"You fell?" Umbridge asked coldly, repeating coldly.

"Yes, that's it, because I'm too big to have a broom handle that fits me, and I'm riding a hippogriff, I don't know if you've seen it, it's the kind of animal with wings, I've ridden it, they're ....... ”

"Where have you been?" Professor Umbridge interrupted Hagrid coldly.

"Where did I go?"

"Yes, where have you been since February? You were accompanied by a teacher from another college. No one in this house can tell me where you have been, because you left without leaving a message, where did you go?" she asked, Hagrid stared at her, and Harry could almost see the anger that was rising in him.

"I, I'm out on vacation," Hagrid said.

"Vacation," Umbridge repeated coldly.

She looked at Hagrid's swollen face, dripping dragon blood onto his vest.

"I see. ”

"Yes," Hagrid said, "go get some fresh air."

"Yes, this must be a rare opportunity for a hunting ground keeper," Professor Umbridge said in her sweet voice. Hagrid's black-purple face began to redden.

"Yes, a new environment. ”

"Is the mountain view beautiful?" Professor Umbridge asked quickly. She knew everything, Harry thought.

"Mountain?" the sea gang repeated, and he immediately reacted, "I don't know, we are going to the south of France, where we are basking in the sun by the sea." ”

"Really?" Professor Umbridge said. "So you haven't been tanned?"

"Of course, my skin is quite sensitive. Hagrid replied, smiling happily, only to reveal that he had two of his teeth knocked out.

Professor Umbridge looked at him coldly, and he explained with a smile.

She opened the bag that hung from her arm and said, "I will report to the Minister that you did not return to the academy in time." ”

"Okay," Hagrid said, nodding.

"You should know from the other teachers that I'm the senior inspector here, and I think we'll see each other again soon. She said suddenly as she walked to the door.

"You're the senior prosecutor here?" Hagrid repeated, looking blankly at her.

"Oh, that's right," Professor Ambregie said softly, putting his hand on the doorknob and looking back at him, "the Ministry of Magic has decided to fire some unqualified teachers, and have a great night, Hagrid. ”
