Chapter 324: “Fearless Umbridge”
“Sean, you’re crazy!” Harry laughed and patted Sean on the shoulder
“I almost couldn’t hold back my laughter. It’s a pity that Fred didn’t see Umbridge’s expression!” Ron moved to the side.
Sean was held by their shoulders and spread his hands casually, “I can do what I can do.”
After last night’s incident in the hall, Umbridge immediately left the hall angrily. According to the Peeves, her office was filled with the sound of smashing things all night. Immediately after this, a new Ministry of Magic rule was sent to Hogwarts this morning.
The rule clearly stated that Hogwarts students must strictly abide by various regulations during their school days, including but not limited to maintaining necessary etiquette in daily life, not being allowed to gather and discuss in the school corridor, and so on.
At the same time, the rule emphasized the importance of Umbridge’s presence. Regardless of age, young students, senior students, and everyone must strictly abide by the rules of the Ministry of Magic.
However, although the regulations are strict, the Hogwarts students’ common hatred last night played a role that Sean did not expect.
The four houses have finally shown a high degree of unity—the previous incident might be a kind of violation. However, the naughty and rebellious students always have students from other houses to cover them up.
In the castle and in the corridors, “Umbridge” noises can be heard from time to time. This morning, a Slytherin student even helped a group of Gryffindors escape punishment.
Umbridge wandered around the castle all morning, but in the end, she needed help finding a single student who violated the rules. She turned her target to the classroom.
As the last night’s incident, Umbridge immediately targeted the Transfiguration classroom where Sean was. She held a record book arrogantly, pretending to check the knowledge level of the students.
Sean naturally became Umbridge’s target. Whenever Professor McGonagall habitually asked Sean to give a demonstration, Umbridge would come over like a toad who saw a mosquito, and her eyes were fixed on Sean.
Whenever Sean’s wand was a little slow, she’d start making fake notes, complete with sighs of disappointment and shakes of her head in regret.
That’s all.
In the back, Umbridge was even a little noisy. She kept asking Sean loudly when he cast the spell, trying to hinder Sean.
Somewhat annoyed, Sean deliberately found something. In the process of turning the guinea fowl into a hedgehog, he deliberately transformed into a “porcupine” first. Umbridge’s eyes lit up immediately, even though becoming a porcupine was much more difficult than a hedgehog.
She said that Sean’s Transfiguration skills were not good enough, and students with such poor grades should be punished after class.
Sean picked up Porcupine in front of her.
It is a hedgehog that has been improved differently. Sean deliberately made some special changes to the hedgehog’s quills, making it look more like a porcupine. But Umbridge didn’t notice it at all.
Finally, Professor McGonagall set off by giving twenty points to Ravenclaw.
She trotted her short legs and walked out angrily before class ended.
As Ron said, after the Transfiguration class, the students laughed and discussed Umbridge. It’s a pity that Fred didn’t see it. A few people were talking and laughing as they walked towards the hall on the first floor. They heard a noise coming from below when they passed the intersection on the basement floor.
Neville looked in that direction in surprise. “Is the Potions class still going? Does anyone dare to make noise in the underground classroom?”
Harry boasted, “It must be that Umbridge is looking for trouble with Snape.”
Sean was also very curious. It’s not surprising that Umbridge went to the Potions class, but she shouldn’t dare to provoke someone Like Snape. Knowing Snape’s character, Umbridge harassing a student was not within his scope of anger unless she dared to question his potion skill.
Hermione had been following along and reading the book, glanced sideways, and frowned, “It should be the Potions class of the second grade just now.”
Sean raised his eyebrows. He probably knew why the underground classroom was noisy.
A few students walked to the basement classroom, and sure enough, just after passing through the gloomy corridor, a large group of students had already surrounded the classroom door. Umbridge and Snape were confronting each other in the crowd.
“Professor Snape, I must remind you that all my actions are under the orders of the Ministry of Magic!” Umbridge’s voice was high-pitched.
Sean looked across from Umbridge and took a deep breath in the next second.
Snape exuded an extremely cold aura. The gloomy face on his face was like ink that could not be erased.
Even Harry let out a cry of surprise, and Ron took half a step back and muttered, “What the hell did Umbridge do? If Sean and Harry fought in front of Snape after messing up with the cauldron, he wouldn’t be acting like this.”
Snape looked directly at Umbridge, then took a slow step forward.
This step directly made Umbridge retreat to the corner in fright. She even took out her wand and shouted tremblingly, “What are you doing, Severus Snape?”
Snape ignored her wand, just slowly raised his chin a little bit, looked down at her, and said extremely disdainfully, “Only I can tell my students what they were doing wrong. How dare you criticize my students in my class and give punishment to my students?”
“Are you questioning my level of teaching?” Snape drew his tone, and all the students present trembled.
Ron looked terrified, “Is Snape such a defensive person?”
Sean waved at Daisy, who was running towards them, “I mean, he’s doing that now, right?”
He dared to bet that if Harry, himself, Ron, or Neville were making things difficult for Umbridge, Snape wouldn’t care about it.
Daisy ran to them, took Hermione’s arm, and took a few breaths.
“Is Umbridge messing with you?” Hermione asked.
Daisy nodded and whispered to Sean and Hermione, “Yes, Professor Snape was upset after that.”
Last night in the hall, Daisy was the one who followed Sean to stand up immediately, and Umbridge would definitely not let Daisy go. It’s just that she obviously chose the wrong class.
Umbridge was holding up her wand, facing Snape, but she moved against the wall and panicked.
The wand trembled with the voice, “I warn you, you are only a professor at Hogwarts. The Ministry of Magic and the school board are qualified to remove your status! Don’t think that you can do whatever you want because you have a proficient skill in potions! My colleague in the Ministry of Magic, James Potter, the chief of the British Office of the Guards, and his wife, Lily Potter, is also a master of potions. If there is a recommendation from the Ministry of Magic, your position can be replaced anytime!”
Sean was dumbfounded.
He has never seen a braver person than Umbridge.
The scene suddenly became silent, and Snape finally lowered his head. He looked at Umbridge calmly, no longer gloomy, and even his eyes were no longer cold.
Before anyone could react, Snape’s hand was as fast as lightning, and a red light shot out from the tip of his wand, and the wand in Umbridge’s hand was blown away in an instant.
Umbridge screamed, desperately holding up the parchment in her hand, which was the rule of the Ministry of Magic.
“You! I’m an investigator from the Ministry of Magic! You can’t!”
Snape’s wand gently tore the parchment and slowly but firmly pressed against Umbridge’s throat.
“Can you repeat it again?”
“Severus!” Professor McGonagall hurried over from behind, pushing past the students and blocking Snape’s wand.
Umbridge fell to the ground suddenly, coughing violently on the cold stone slab.
“Severus,” Professor McGonagall looked at Snape solemnly.
Snape let out a cold stare and went away straight away.
Umbridge’s eyes were filled with fear and resentment. She stared angrily at Snape’s back, her lips twitched a few times, but she still didn’t dare to speak harshly.
“That was wonderful.” Sean and the others said in unison.
Soon, the news that Umbridge was strangled by the throat by Snape was spread throughout Hogwarts. Snape’s reputation was improved to a certain extent, whether it was respect or fear.
However, things are not over.
At the dinner that day, Umbridge sat in the seat farthest from Snape.
As soon as she took two bites of food, she immediately choked her throat, her eyes were bulging, and white foam had already started gushing from the corners of her mouth.
