Study Days at Hogwarts

The next day, Umbridge's encounter at Hogwarts made the headlines in the Daily Prophet. This "bombshell" news even overshadowed the Ministry of Magic's latest report on the progress of the hunt for escaped Death Eaters.

"…The Ministry of Magic actually had the nerve to blame Dumbledore for this incident."

As soon as the four Alberts sat down at the Gryffindor long table, they heard Angelina and Aaliyah talking about the news in the newspaper across the long table.

"Are you disappointed that Peeves didn't just knock the toad to death?" Albert smiled and took the Daily Prophet from Angelina's hand, spread it out on the table, and read the headlines news.

"It's a pity indeed. I really hope it can drive away the toads."

"Then I'm afraid you'll be disappointed."

"How long do you think the toad will stay in St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Maladies." George was in a bad mood. If what happened last night hadn't happened, Umbridge might have turned into a toad another day. Hogg Watts would also usher in a long period of peace.

It's a pity that they didn't take action on the day after Toad was discharged from the hospital.

"This matter is not over yet, I'm afraid it will be even more tragic next time." Albert knew that the incident last night interrupted several people's arrangements, but sometimes things may not always go as planned.

"We'd better hurry up and replenish some supplies for Peeves." Fred said in a low voice, "When Umbridge returns to school..."

"They want to force the principal to resign. Fudge probably wants Umbridge to become the new principal of Hogwarts." Albert reached out and tapped the content on the second page. There was an interview with Lucius Malfoy on it. .

"I think it would be embarrassing for a toad to become the headmaster." Angelina saw with her own eyes how Peeves taught Umbridge a lesson.

"Don't forget Professor Trelawney's prophecy," Zannah reminded.

Since the Christmas break, many students have forgotten the few prophecies about Umbridge that Professor Trelawney left before she was expelled.

"I really don't know what they were thinking."

"Do you think we can use Peeves to drive Umbridge out of Hogwarts?" Angelina also hoped that Umbridge would get out of school so that she wouldn't have to worry about the players anymore.

"The possibility is not high. It's best not to count on Peeves for this kind of thing." Albert was surprised that Angelina would have such naive ideas.

"What should we do?"

People all looked at Albert, waiting for him to come up with a solution to the problem.

"It's actually easy to drive Umbridge away completely. You just need to turn her into an idiot. Well, it only requires a strong forgetting spell. Or, your somewhat stinky methods can make Umbridge Qi no longer has the face to stay in the school, but it may bring a bad reputation to the school and make it difficult to recruit new professors for the Defense Against the Dark Arts course." Albert actually does not recommend doing that, at least not now. "Dumbledore certainly wouldn't have tolerated this."

"What should we do?"

"We can put a little more pressure on them, so that Fudge and Umbridge don't always like to talk nonsense in newspapers to smear others."

"Shall we also publish articles?"

George seemed to have guessed Albert's plan. He had to admire his sharp words. The previous article "The Secret Behind the Lies" was all written by Albert, at least the idea must have been his.

Only he can accurately hit Fudge's vitals.

"You can go to Hermione and ask someone she knows to help write an article about the big conspiracy between the Ministry of Magic, Fudge and Umbridge, and bring out the bad things that Umbridge did at Hogwarts. Let’s talk about it so that everyone can understand how Umbridge and the Ministry of Magic took this opportunity to seek the position of Headmaster of Hogwarts. How did they help the Death Eaters gradually control Hogwarts and turn this place into It’s become a hell for students.” Albert was already planning to have someone help them publish a book.

Of course, he was not the one responsible for writing the manuscript. He was only responsible for providing some ideas, some information and some galleons.

"The Death Eaters are trying to take over Hogwarts?"

"When did Umbridge..."

Several people were a little confused when they heard this, obviously not understanding the meaning of Albert's words.

"Umbridge once set up a special operations investigation team at Hogwarts." Albert reminded him directly after noticing the confusion on other people's faces.

"You mean they..."

"If you are particularly concerned, you can count for yourselves how many of their family members and relatives are on the Death Eater blacklist named by Harry." Albert closed the newspaper and took a piece of bread and spread jam on it. , continued, "Besides Malfoy and his two followers, how many others are there?"

"But……"

"I know it's a bit excessive to say that a blacksmith's son is a blacksmith and a Death Eater's son is a Death Eater, but..." Albert asked Fred and George, "Will you join Dumbledore after graduation?" The Order of the Phoenix?"

"Of course." George said suddenly.

"That's it, then why do you think they won't join because they don't have the Dark Mark on their arms?" Albert asked: "As far as I know, many Slytherin students were in the last Wizarding War. Not long after graduation, he became a servant of the mysterious man and became a glorious Death Eater, including... you all know it. If this Wizarding War drags on for more than ten years, how many more Death Eaters do you think will emerge? ?”

"Now you just need to sort out your ideas, and then give these ideas to Hermione's person, and give her some Galleons as polishing fee. I think she will be very willing to help summarize them. Then, we can summarize them To turn it into a magazine, or a short story, I think the entire wizarding world needs to explain, especially the Ministry of Magic, which gives the impression that it is deliberately allowing Death Eaters to escape from prison."

This is intriguing when I think about it.

The Ministry of Magic not only ignored the reminder and allowed the Death Eaters to escape from prison, but also did not actively search for them, as if what they escaped were just a few insignificant stray dogs that were not worth the high cost to recover.

"Let Sirius publish it?"

"No, Defense Letters is now closely watched by the Ministry of Magic and this article can be placed in the Quibbler magazine."

"Not many people watch that 'Quiet Quibbler' thing."

"It's just because no one takes 'The Quibbler' seriously that it's more appropriate. I don't think the Ministry of Magic will pay attention to it, at least when they start to pay attention, they will have no time to react." Albert's goal Be a student at Hogwarts, and then influence their parents through the students.

“And, to everyone, it’s just hilarious speculation, and it’s appropriate on ‘The Quibbler.’”

"Will the other party agree?" Fred asked suspiciously.

"I think Mr. Lovegood would be willing to spare an issue of the magazine to accommodate this article." Albert told everyone not to worry.

When they heard this last name, many people guessed what was going on. At least Lee Jordan was the first to think of the reason.

"Anyway, Valentine's Day is coming soon, and I just want to go to Hogsmeade Village. Let's meet there, so you guys have to work harder." Albert finished the slices of bread in his hands, picked up his schoolbag and headed towards Walk to the ancient magic text classroom.

"Tell me, are these speculations that Albert just made true?"

Looking at Albert's leaving back, George's expression suddenly became very strange. According to his understanding of Albert, that guy likes to tell the truth, at least more lies than lies. It is worth pondering when combining what he just said with his identity as a fortune teller.

The expressions on Fred and Lee Jordan's faces also became quite exciting, because they found that what George said made so much sense.

Mixing truth and falsehood, making it difficult to tell which sentence is true and which sentence is a lie, has always been Albert's bad taste.

"Umbridge joins You-Know-Who?"

Fred felt that this was entirely possible. The toad itself was evil enough, and even becoming a Death Eater didn't seem to be against the law.

"No, I'm actually more worried about Albert's hint that after the Ministry of Magic collapses, Hogwarts will eventually be controlled by a mysterious person, and Umbridge will become the principal of Hogwarts." George looked at Albert As he left, he regretted not asking directly.

"If that's the case, it would be a nightmare for other students." Lee Jordan muttered.

With that said, he got up and went to the Ravenclaw table to find Luna and talk about publishing an article in "The Quibbler."

Fred and George went to Harry and Hermione to discuss how to use the article to manipulate Umbridge.

When Harry heard that he wanted to deal with Umbridge, he agreed immediately.

Hermione also said that she would write to Rita Skeeter and arrange to meet her in Hogsmeade.

"I care more about the significance of Albert's publication of this article than this matter." Hermione frowned and said, "Those articles of his have some unique significance, but you think this may be another one of Anderson's Prophecy?”

Ron felt that Hermione was simply overthinking.

"If you really have any doubts about this, you can ask him directly!"

"I don't think it's surprising that Umbridge turned to You-Know-Who. Don't forget the toad's prediction of the end." Harry stared at the back of his hand and said softly, "I'm more worried that Hogwarts will also fall after the collapse of the Ministry of Magic. Then he was controlled by a mysterious person, and Umbridge will become the new principal of Hogwarts, but... Dumbledore probably won't tolerate this happening."
