Chapter 341: Punishment and Resignation
"Dumbledore."
Umbridge opened his eyes slowly.
Professor McGonagall summoned Dumbledore, her stern expression tingling distress, and went over to check on the students.
Dumbledore walked in calmly and asked, "Investigator Umbridge, I don't know what my students have done that need to be punished here?" ”
"They violated the education order by privately gathering to create a ...... Dumbledore's Army, right? Umbridge asked the nearby Slytherin.
If Pansy was here, she would recognize her studious boyfriend.
"No, she's talking nonsense!" George protested loudly.
Fred also shouted, "We didn't do anything, she was." ”
"Really?" Umbridge smiled hormously and said to Dumbledore, "I have told Minister Crouch about the matter, and he is very interested in getting Dumbledore's army, and he is already on his way." ”
"Then allow us to change places and receive our Minister Crouch." Dumbledel's calm answer remained unchanged for more than 10,000 years.
Umbridge was there to bring down Dumbledore, and the rest was secondary.
So she took Harry and headed to Dumbledore's Headmaster's office.
Harry was caught up in the Headmaster's office, and several times he tried to speak to Dumbledore, only to see him look away.
Before they arrived, someone had already come outside the office.
It was old Barty and them, and he brought two Aurors with him.
One of them was Kingsley, and it seemed that Barty Sr. trusted him.
"Barty." Dumbledore greeted him.
Old Barty said with an ugly face, "I heard the inquisitor say that you want to form an army in the school?" ”
For other things, Barty Sr. definitely let Umbridge play with himself.
But this time, Umbridge told him that Dumbledore was organizing an army at the school, which made Barty Sr. unable to sit still.
Entering the office, old Barty didn't look much better.
"Dumbledore, I need to tell you," Barty Sr. said as he came to the office, "and even though you have stepped down as Chief Wizard of the Wizengamot, you still need to obey the law. ”
"What would you make the parents of those students think?" Barty Sr. blamed Dumbledore.
Umbridge was afraid of Dumbledore's quibbles, so he stepped forward flatteringly and said, "Minister Crouch, I have received a report that I have discovered this behavior, do you need me to bring the witness out?" ”
It seems that Umbridge is also fully prepared, and Barty Sr. has nothing to do.
Umbridge went out for a while and came back with a girl with her face covered.
Harry recognized the girl as Cho Chang's friend, Marietta.
It's just that the face became very ugly, and a series of dense purple pus pockets formed a word 'informant' on her face.
Harry immediately remembered that Hermione had done something to sign it.
Umbridge recounts the process of whistleblowing, much to Harry's chagrin.
"Shut up," Barty Sr. interrupted Umbridge, staring at Marietta, and said strangely, "why doesn't she speak?" ”
"I haven't found a spell to deal with this." Umbridge reluctantly admitted.
Harry felt a wave of pride at this, Hermione's spell power was very powerful.
Seeing that Old Barty had signs of blackface, Umbridge hurriedly said, "Education Order 24 has been in place for almost six months, and meetings during this period are illegal. ”
"Well," Dumbledore said, looking at Umbridge politely and with interest, "if they do continue to meet after this decree goes into effect, then of course they may be breaking the law." ”
Umbridge's smile was about to appear when Dumbledore changed his tone and said, "But what evidence do you have to prove that there was such a party later?" ”
Harry heard Dumbledore speak when he heard a rustle behind him, and Kingsley was muttering something quietly.
There was a brief confusion in Marietta's eyes.
Umbridge naturally had proof, and while Marietta couldn't be allowed to speak, she could make her nod.
But the truth is unexpected, and the whistleblower Marietta has denied all this.
Professor McGonagall was also here and joined in the questioning.
It was clear that Harry suspected that what Kingsley was muttering about was some kind of spell.
Let Marietta answer the opposite.
Umbridge was furious, and violently pulled Marietta over and shook her violently.
For the first time, an angry look appeared on Dumbledore's face, and Umbridge let go of Marietta, waving his hands as if they were burned red.
"I don't allow you to be rough with my students!" Dumbledore said with an angry smirk.
Old Barty's brows did not loosen, and Umbridge hurriedly took out a list and handed it to Old Barty.
Seeing the signature on it, Old Barty took a deep breath, "Dumbledore, I need you to tell me that this is a farce. ”
"Now that it's been discovered," Dumbledore said calmly, "I admit the existence of Dumbledore's army." ”
"What?" Old Barty grimaced and said, "You know what that means. ”
"Of course," Harry was about to say when Dumbledore interrupted, "it's Dumbledore's Army, not the Potter Army. ”
"I don't think I can stay at school anymore," Dumbledore said to make Harry froze, and he winked at Harry and said, "I'll resign and take all the responsibility." ”
"Dumbledore, if you want to pay for your students," Barty said with a dry cough with a twinkle in his eyes, "then I agree with your resignation." ”
Did Dumbledore resign?
Harry froze.
Originally, Dumbledore temporarily stepped down from his position as Headmaster until the investigation was over.
But now that he has resigned directly, it means that the headmaster of Hogwarts is gone.
And all this because of himself.
Harry fell into infinite self-reproach.
...
"Just quit?"
John was a little surprised, and he was surprised to see the announcement.
"Somebody's snitching and reported Potter's group of petty guys." Malfoy gloated, "Potter, who always thought he was the core, has now caused Dumbledore to resign." ”
John chuckled, "At least they negotiated peacefully." ”
Dumbledore voluntarily resigned, and the headmick was vacated.
Umbridge wanted to be it, but old Barty knew that this tool man would be abolished later, and wouldn't it be ridiculous and generous to be the headmaster.
On the grounds that no suitable person has been found for the time being, the position of principal is vacant.
As for the candidate for the Acting Rector, Professor McGonagall should have been in charge.
In terms of qualifications and status, Professor McGonagall is the most suitable.
Unfortunately, Professor McGonagall was reluctant to take the role, and Barty Sr. was relieved.
If Professor McGonagall continues to serve as a substitute, Umbridge's Inquisitor will be hampered like never before.
Professor McGonagall wasn't Dumbledore, and she didn't like to go with the flow.
If Umbridge punishes the students, Professor McGonagall and the Ministry of Magic will kick Umbridge out by tearing her face.
"John, we need to talk." Daphne takes Pansy to John.
John looked at Pansy's red, swollen eyes, nodded, and said, "Change places." ”
They came to the Star Society.
It's Pansy's business.
Pansy's boyfriend's thing, to be precise.
I thought that Pansy's love brain was dead set on her boyfriend.
As a result, that guy turned out to be Umbridge's lackey, which Pansy couldn't accept at once.
You know, Umbridge was pressured by all of Slytherin at the beginning, and as a result, you turned out to be a third-year enemy?
Pansy is freed from her love brain and is full of disappointment with her boyfriend.
John wanted to give Umbridge a thumbs up after hearing this, this guy can also be used to treat the love brain, it's really amazing.
Anyway, Pansy broke up with her boyfriend.
"So...... Isn't that a good thing? John looked at Daphne suspiciously, "What is she crying about?" ”
Daphne blinked and said, "Oh, that's my howling spell." ”
John: "......"
Pansy: "I broke up with him, and yesterday I saw him sneaking around, holding a bottle of stuff there. ”
"What's that?"
"A bottle of poison."
Pansy secretly filled a drop and fed it to a mouse, which died on the spot.
Daphne said seriously, "I doubt who he was going to poison." ”
...
Some people died, but not completely......
