Perhaps out of desperation, Umbridge emptied his office in only half a day and went back to the Ministry of Magic overnight.

The next day, the whole school was plunged into a sea of joy, and for some unknown reason, the ordinary breakfast was also sumptuous like a feast, and the table was filled with golden plates.

"How did you do that?" Fred and George bounced to the Hufflepuff table with a large jug of pumpkin juice.

"What?" Kyle asked.

"Umbridge." Fred said, happily pouring a large glass of pumpkin juice.

"Don't try to fool us." George sat down next to him, raised an eyebrow, and said, "You must know something." ”

"Well, I do know something." Kyle laughs and says, "Fudge had an important errand to do, and I happened to be there at the time and recommended Umbridge. ”

"He agreed?" George asked a question that seemed silly to others.

"Obviously, isn't it?" Kyle said, "Fudge has found the best candidate, Umbridge himself is happy, and the Hogwarts students are happy, so it's a win-win-win." ”

"I don't care about Fudge and Umbridge...... Fred said as he drank the pumpkin juice from his glass, "but it's a great thing for us." ”

"Haha, get rid of Umbridge...... You're going to be a hero, at least our Gryffindor heroes. George patted Kyle on the shoulder.

"It's no exaggeration to say that we even think that we can win the Special Contribution Award for the University again with this."

"If only it were like what you said, but it's a pity Headmaster Dumbledore isn't at school." Kyle smiled, not taking it seriously.

Hogwarts doesn't give a student an award for special contribution to the school just because he kicked out a professor, no matter how annoying the professor is.

In addition to the students, the professors were also very happy.

In the faculty seat, Professor McGonagall was chatting with Snape next to her, both of whom seemed to be very relaxed, not at all smiling.

Professor Trelawney, who was across the seat from them, poured sherry glass after glass.

The school cafeteria doesn't serve alcohol, not even the professors, so she buys it from three brooms.

And it was the best sherry of the three broomsticks, one bottle cost thirty Galleons, and in just a few moments, she had finished two bottles, and was opening the third bottle.

In other words, she drank a month's salary from her one meal.

Of course, not everyone is happy, such as Tonks......

She was sitting there without a smile on her face.

She couldn't laugh, now that Umbridge was back in the Ministry of Magic, wouldn't she, as a teaching assistant, become a professor naturally?

The thought of the legendary Defence Against the Dark Arts Professor's curse made Tonks feel like the juicy steak in his mouth as dry grass as it was hard to swallow.

"No...... Tonks stood up suddenly, raised his leg and walked out of the Great Hall, ready to go back to write letters to Fudge and Dumbledore.

Whoever wants to be this Defence Against the Dark Arts professor, she definitely won't take it anyway.

Moody, an old Auror who was so cautious, was strong enough that he had just finished teaching Defence Against the Dark Arts for a school year when he was suddenly attacked.

and Sirius, who was tortured by the Death Eaters half a year after taking over the job, and almost died.

The only lucky one was Lupin, but even he had been lying in the school hospital for a long time, and he was carried into the school hospital in a werewolf state.

It is said that at that time, he had several bones on his body, his body was covered with bandages, and he could barely walk after lying in the school hospital for three days.

It's a werewolf with rough skin and thick flesh, and can ignore some spells, and it was actually injured like that.

If Dumbledore made a move, let alone a werewolf, even a fire dragon would have to go out sideways in front of the headmaster.

But the problem was that Dumbledore's attempt to restrain Lupin, who had turned into a werewolf, was simply too simple for him to do that hard, including the professors.

But Lupin was still injured.

This position is too wicked, and Tonks doesn't think he's much better than them, so it's better to be cautious.

Even if you can't be transferred, you have to ask the school to find a new professor...... Three members of the Order of the Phoenix had already suffered, and Dumbledore couldn't keep fooling his own people.

Tonks left in a rage.

I can only say that her idea is good...... But that's about it.

It was a week before she received a reply from the Ministry of Magic, which was also very simple, the Ministry of Magic was understaffed, and there was no way to find a new Defence Against the Dark Arts professor for the time being.

As for Dumbledore...... He hasn't heard back yet, and no one knows where he's gone.

Tonks was desperate, she only felt confused about the road ahead, and hesitated to stock up on some healing potions, and by the way, ask who had Phoenix Tears...... She might need that.

Except for Tonks, everyone else was very happy, and in the days without Umbridge, every day was as relaxed and enjoyable as a Christmas holiday.

Interestingly, the professors also seem to attribute Umbridge to Kyle for leaving the school.

Mainly because of Professor McGonagall.

She went to the Ministry of Magic with her, but as soon as they returned, Umbridge was transferred by Fudge, how could there be such a coincidence, someone must have done something.

At that time, the only person who could contact Fudge was Kyle, so the answer was coming out.

As a result, Kyle was able to earn extra house points for almost every class over the course of the week.

5 points for good homework in Transfiguration, 5 points for handing a shovel to Professor Sprout, and 5 points for helping to correct classmates' gestures in Charms class......

Although it is not much, it can't stand up to the frequency, and in a week, Hufflepuff's hourglass directly skyrocketed by more than a hundred points, leaving the other three houses behind with an absolute advantage.

"It looks like Professor McGonagall has given up on competing for this year's House Cup." Fred looked at the hourglass in the auditorium and sighed, "If we continue like this, we'll probably never be able to catch up with Hufflepuff." ”

"No, there's still a chance." Kyle on the side smiled and said, "As long as you don't deduct any more points." ”

Since the first year, these two men have been one of the main deductibles in Gryffindor House, although after entering the seventh year, they have become much more savvy, and it has been a long time since they have been caught breaking the school rules.

But as it happens, after the Christmas break, there were more classes in the fifth grade, and their quick-acting skipping candy became a bestseller, sometimes a dozen students in a class vomited, their tongues suddenly became larger, or something different.

This unusual situation naturally caught Professor McGonagall's attention, and she found Fred and George, the two culprits who peddled the candy for quick truancy.

Needless to say, each of them was deducted 50 points, which directly caused Gryffindor to fall from third place to last.

"You should tell Snape that." Fred obviously didn't want to take the blame, "If he could have deducted a few points from us, maybe the number one place right now would be Gryffindor." ”

That's true, Snape has always been unmerciful when it comes to deducting points from Gryffindor.

And since Umbridge's departure, he has re-established himself at the top of Gryffindor's list of most hated professors, with second place to be determined.

……

Umbridge's departure was to drive away some of the gloom that hung over Hogwarts, and the gloomy March finally showed some sunshine at the end, and even the continuous wind and rain in April seemed to be much more pleasing to the eye.

The only problem was that the Quidditch players had to train in wet conditions and muddy courts.

Even with a waterproof and moisture-resistant badge, it's an uncomfortable thing.

Dumbledore didn't return until the day before the Easter holidays, and no one knew what he had been away for more than a month.

But they got word from Umbridge.

"Oh, look at this ......," Cedric shoved a copy of the Daily Prophet in front of Kyle.

[Ministry of Magic staff successfully stop the Death Eaters' plot]

The headline is prominent, and there is a picture of Umbridge below, who has finally changed out of her pink cardigan and is standing on a street with her wand.

"Look at this ......"

Cedric took the newspaper and read:

"This morning, a pipe explosion occurred in a Muggle street, which caused an uproar among Muggles and injured dozens of Muggles.

According to the investigation, the culprit of the incident was locked on the body of Antonin Dolohov, a Death Eater who had escaped from prison, and witnesses saw him fleeing in a hurry.

"It is reported that Antonin Dolokhov was an extremely cruel Death Eater, and his previous crimes included the use of the Reception Charm and attacks on Muggles.

"It's not hard to guess that his purpose this time is to announce his return to everyone."

Deputy Minister Umbridge, who led the team, said: "We got the report too late, and if we had had been earlier, we might have been able to catch him." ”

She urged people to be as vigilant as possible, Antonin Dolokhov was a Death Eater who did all kinds of evil, and anyone who found him must be the first to tell the Ministry of Magic.

"This is a special period, and only when we work together and unite will it be possible to win the next war."

Cedric put down the newspaper and smacked his lips and said, "She's going to catch the Death Eaters?" ”

When he was in school, he didn't realize that the powerful-obsessed Umbridge had this skill.

Capture the Death Eaters...... Cedric couldn't have connected this to Umbridge in any way.

"Who knows......" Kyle shrugged.

He remembered the last time he went to the Ministry of Magic, he had been chatting with Mr. Weasley out of boredom and stumbled upon a document on his desk.

It says that someone made a bad joke and blew up a garbage can on a Muggle street, and it was just after work time, and many people were hit by the garbage that flew out.

Fifteen or sixteen, Kyle couldn't remember for a moment.

He remembered this because Mr. Weasley had complained that there were people up there who didn't take it seriously, and that they had to be left to solve the other problems first.

Kyle doesn't know if this has anything to do with today's report, but judging by the content...... The streets blew up, a dozen Muggles were injured as a result, and all the key information was in line with it.

He whispered the discovery to Cedric and Connor.

"You mean to say...... Is this fake news? Connor said incredulously: "The culprit of this matter is not Antonin Dolokhov, but someone else?" ”

"I guess so." Kyle nodded, "Otherwise, why do you think Umbridge is so brave all of a sudden." ”

"Did you already know they were going to do it?" Cedric asked, "So that's Fudge's plan, to push what everyone else did onto the Death Eaters?" ”

"Well, sort of." Kyle said, "But it's also a good thing, at least it's a reminder to everyone that there's a Death Eater hiding in the shadows." ”

After all this time, the students of Hogwarts seemed to have gradually forgotten about the mysterious man, but after reading today's newspaper, they finally remembered it again.

For a moment, the castle was once again in a state of panic.

But there are also people who are skeptical, and they are all people who know Umbridge, such as Harry of Gryffindor, Ron.

"She doesn't look like someone who would do such a thing." Harry said categorically.

When it comes to fighting Death Eaters, no one knows him better, and that's what the Order of the Phoenix does.

And Umbridge ...... Seriously, Harry couldn't have connected her to the Order of the Phoenix, or the Aurors, anyway.

"But that's what the newspapers say." Hermione looked at the Daily Prophet over and over again, as if trying to find something in the corner that they had overlooked.

But she almost stuck her face on the newspaper and found nothing.

"The newspaper said that Umbridge was on that street with a squad of strikers as fast as he could, and a lot of people saw it."

"The news in the newspapers could also be fake." Ron said, "Remember? Some time ago, they insisted that the mysterious man was not resurrected. ”

"That's right." Harry nodded. He insisted he didn't believe Umbridge would do such a thing.

It's as unlikely that Snape would give Gryffindor extra points.

There were many others like them, and they also remembered Headmaster Dumbledore, who had disappeared for a long time.

Since the morning, there has been a lot of talk in the castle.

"Who remembers when the principal left the school."

"I don't know, it should have been a long time."

"I remember he hasn't been seen since the Christmas holidays."

"No, it should be mid-February......"

"How do I remember it's March."

……

There are many opinions, but the only thing that is certain is that Dumbledore is not at the school, and there is always a lot less security here.

But soon they didn't have time to think about it anymore.

Because the Easter holidays are here.

As is a tradition at Hogwarts, the two-week Easter holiday is more like a homework.

The professors seem to be engaged in a battle of who can be more devastating, and they are simply ruthless when it comes to homework.

Everyone looked at the holiday homework that filled a piece of parchment paper just by asking for it, and everyone was numb.

"Are the professors crazy?" Mikel shuddered, "We can't finish so much homework in a month." ”

"Then we'll have to write all night." Ryan gave him a blank look, "Don't forget, the Easter break is only two weeks. ”

"Oh!" Mikel let out a howl of pain.

That's all the way in sixth grade, not to mention what's coming soon. L. Exams for the fifth grade.

Hermione would have liked to have a few more DA gatherings during the holidays, but when she saw the amount of homework, she just crumpled the schedule.

No way, no one would want to go to any party at this time, as can be seen from Harry and Ron's performance.

The two of them sat numbly in the armchairs in the common room, as if they had been under a petrification spell.

"What are they doing, why are they taking a holiday?" Ron said hoarsely.

"I guess the professors are trying to make me forget about the Mysteries and the Death Eaters." Hermione said.

"Then they succeeded." Harry sighed, "We probably can't remember anything other than homework in the past two weeks?" ”

"Hermione......" Ron jerked his head up, hoping that "only you can save us now." ”

"You should write your own ......" Hermione, halfway through speaking, inadvertently glanced at the homework sheet again, "Okay, I'll try, but you'd better not count on me." ”

"Of course." Ron and Harry were busy saying, "We've even canceled Quidditch training. ”

In fact, not long ago Angelina Johnson came to them and told them about it, she is in the seventh grade, and what she is going to do is... Exams, not only to write homework, but also to take time to review, is much busier than the fifth grade.
