Chapter 247 Playing tricks on Umbridge
In Umbridge's office, she was facing a basin filled with water and she didn't know what she was doing.
"How's it going? Has Dumbledore done anything extraordinary recently?" A voice came from the basin. When I walked in, I saw a face in the water. This is the familiar Minister of Magic Fudge. .
He had used a spell similar to the one he had used when Sirius appeared on the fireplace in the Gryffindor common room the year before.
"Except for the previous exchange activities with the mermaid clan, he has been quite quiet so far. I stare at him every day, but he seems to see through my thoughts and always smiles at me, which makes me feel sick." Umbridge replied.
"He was just such a person. He always had a smile on his face, but in his heart he had already thought about when to stab you in the back."
Umbridge nodded in agreement.
"Continue to keep an eye on him and don't let him do anything beyond his reach. Pay special attention to whether he has any special ideas about rights or the Ministry of Magic." Fudge solemnly warned.
"understood."
The face in the basin disappeared, Umbridge exhaled and sat back on the chair. She looked out the window at the jack-o'-lanterns on the road, curled her lips, and then took out the glasses specially used for class and put them on.
The glasses lit up with a faint light, and from Umbridge's eyes, you could see extremely small pieces of text appearing at this time, and then there were bursts of laughter, excitement, and fear on her face, and finally she took them off. Behind the glasses, another expression of unfinished expression appeared on his face.
"Although this boy is young, his writing style and imagination are better than ordinary authors. It's just that the story was written too slowly. I even gave him the freedom to teach, and he only wrote the sixth part. Really, I really want to lock him in a dark room and not let him go until he finishes writing the story." Umbridge said softly, then she stood up and left the office.
The corridors of the castle are lined with candles and pumpkins with green flames, and there are many bats flying around.
Tomorrow is Halloween, so the castle has changed its decorations at the command of the professors.
In the cafeteria, students are discussing how to play tomorrow. This is a rare holiday, and this year the school has specially approved that on Halloween, students can change into the scary holiday costumes they have prepared.
"Lucali, I have prepared a little witch costume for you. Come and sleep with me tonight!" Hermione said while sitting on the chair holding Lucali.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak!" Lucali shouted excitedly.
"Are you agreeing? That's great! My roommates Lavender and Parvati have also prepared costumes for you. Try them on tonight to see which one is more suitable. Let's go out together tomorrow for a scare. other people."
"Squeak!"
"..."
The two obviously didn't understand each other's language, but that couldn't stop them from communicating excitedly.
Crookshanks looked at the two with a ruthless look on the side, with a trace of contempt in his eyes.
"Snoopy, do you want to dress a little scary too?" Kerry listened to Hermione and the others and then asked Snoopy.
"Not interested. I want to go to the tent to play with Sheila and Winnie tomorrow." Snoopy answered casually.
"Okay! Then I'll dress Nate up in a scary way tomorrow so that I can scare the others."
"I want to scare Fred and George. They always play tricks on me, and I have to get back at them," Nate said.
"Um..." Fred and George have a role in scaring others, but it's even harder to scare them than to scare Professor Snape!
"What? Can't you?" Nate asked, opening his watery little eyes.
"Okay, we have to scare them both tomorrow!" Looking at these eyes, Kerry couldn't say a word.
Early the next morning, just like every year, Hogwarts was filled with the sweet smell of pumpkin. However, what is different from previous years is that there are now various students dressed in strange and weird clothes on the corridor lawn and in every room.
There are vampires, werewolves, giants and even magical creatures such as dragons and basilisks, but these are just some of the costumes of the students. However, if the school had not ordered students to use transformation magic, it is estimated that there would be many more kinds of things in the castle. It is impossible to tell whether it is a human being or a magical creature.
On the lawn in the afternoon, Kerry, Hermione, Harry, Draco, Ron and Neville were sitting here wearing the fancy clothes they had prepared.
"Hey! I thought I would scare a lot of people today." 'Ghoul' Ron sighed.
"It's a pity that everyone is mentally prepared. So far I have only scared two first-year students." 'Werewolf' Harry continued.
"What's so strange about this? Before I came to Hogwarts, the kids in my neighborhood liked to play scary things like this on Halloween, but basically no one would fall for it, not to mention that this place is magical. In this world, everyone has seen all kinds of weird things, how could they be scared so easily!" said 'Witch' Hermione.
"However, this Halloween is already much more fun than in previous years, but I think we should call the mermaids, but it's a pity that today is not a Saturday." "Vampire" Kerry said.
"How about we go scare Umbridge?" Ron said suddenly.
Several people around him immediately showed expressions of looking at fools.
"If I don't go, I won't go. What do you mean by this expression?" he said loudly.
"Ah!" At this moment, a pig-like scream came from the castle.
They immediately ran to the castle, and when they entered the hall, the place was already full of people, and everyone was laughing. After finally squeezing into the crowd, they saw that Umbridge's body was actually covered with feathers, and her clothes were covered with various paints. Her hair was messy, and even the edge of the hat she usually carried had signs of being burned.
"Who is so brave and does what I want to do but dare not do?" Ron said in surprise.
His voice was loud and immediately drew Umbridge's glare.
"I don't care who it is, if you can't catch the murderer today, I won't let you have an easy time." Umbridge screamed. She directly called the prankster a murderer. It was obvious that she wanted to kill people at this time. Yes.
Everyone kept their mouths shut tacitly, there were only a few people in Hogwarts who dared to do such a thing, and the biggest suspect, Kerry, had just arrived, and the second and third suspects were usually the most The Weasley twins who love to join in the fun are not here at the moment. It is conceivable...
"Get out of the way, get out of the way." Mr. Filch, our life professor, squeezed into the middle of the crowd.
He looked at Umbridge in front of him and couldn't help but laugh. However, facing the other person's killing gaze, he immediately became serious. "Who did this? Hurry up and take the initiative to admit your mistake. Please be lenient if you confess! Don't let me apologize and admit my mistake after I get caught. By then, this matter will not be easily covered up." He said loudly.
Just kidding, Professor Tangtang, the professor who knows his students best, knew who did it just by hearing about it. Now he was obviously acting because he didn't like Umbridge. However, the students around him cooperated with him and shouted at the murderer.
Umbridge didn't understand what was going on. She glanced around a few times and then left angrily.
