The Alchemist of Harry Potter

Chapter 1056
After being severely taught by Peeves, Umbridge, who returned from St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries, seemed to have become a lot more "honest". What happened this time seemed to make Umbridge "well-behaved" and harmless after experiencing the lesson of the last time, and he was no longer as aggressive as before.

However, what surprised everyone even more was that Umbridge actually asked Filch to take off the pile of education orders hanging on the notice wall.

Many students couldn't believe their eyes, let alone Umbridge's changes. Even Hermione hesitated about the previous plan to smear Toad, and came to ask Albert if he wanted to continue the previous plan, but instead Harry had always insisted that what Umbridge was doing now was just a disguise.

"Even if the poisonous snake puts away its fangs, it is still a poisonous snake. She is just patiently waiting for the opportunity to show her fangs again, instead of being beaten foolishly. This is called retreating, a well-understood coping method." Albert said from If you don't believe in the nonsense of laying down the butcher's knife and becoming a Buddha immediately.

"Hermione, don't be fooled by the toad's appearance." Harry raised his hand, looked at the shallow scar on the back of his hand, and said coldly, "Don't forget, I'm still suspended, and don't forget, my Firebolt Still with her. I'd rather trust Anderson's judgment than trust her."

"I didn't... I just felt very strange." Hermione fell into a brief silence as she looked at the empty notice wall in front of her. "Perhaps, she is planning some kind of conspiracy again."

A few days passed, and there was no new education order on the notice wall, and Umbridge also became very low-key, except for giving lessons to the students, he hardly did any other superfluous things.

Hogwarts resumed its usual peaceful and comfortable life, as if the half-year-long nightmare was finally over.

Especially when Harry got his Firebolt back and was allowed to return to the Quidditch field again, even he was instantly shaken, doubting that Umbridge had really reformed himself, but the scar on the back of his hand But Harry couldn't trust Umbridge anyway.

"What do you think Umbridge is going to do?"

George took back the broomstick from Umbridge and asked Albert suspiciously.

Has the toad really reformed?
This sort of thing was hard for the Weasley twins to believe.

However, the current situation looks very strange. What the hell is Umbridge doing?

"This is called retreating. In that case, he can only admit cowardice and wait for the opportunity to grab your tails. Believe me, she will show her fangs again soon." Albert could guess that Wu What Mlich planned to do, he was just a little surprised that Fred and George would have doubts.

inexperienced?

It is estimated that he has never been tricked by anyone, or has never encountered a similar case, so he can't understand Umbridge's operation.

Of course, this may be related to the fact that most ordinary people are more likely to be satisfied.

There are many similar cases, and it really has to be tricked before it will be remembered deeply.

"I see, toads are really insidious."

Fred and George, who just got back their broomsticks, felt bad all of a sudden, because they found that Umbridge's operation had successfully made many people let down their vigilance.

"Is it sinister?" Albert had a strange expression.

Presumably, after this time, a free lesson can be given to all students in the school.

"We've got to talk to Harry about it, so he can be more vigilant, so he doesn't fall for it." George handed the broomstick to Fred, and hurried to find Harry.

He had already guessed that Umbridge's purpose was to let everyone relax their vigilance so as to catch the Anti-Toad Alliance and the Defense Association.

It can only be said that most people are forgetful, especially when faced with things that have nothing to do with them.Now, many students are turning their attention to the next Hogsmeade weekend, which coincides with the Valentine's Day holiday, and many couples are planning to spend Valentine's Day in Hogsmeade Village.

Albert watched all this silently. When will Umbridge do something wrong?
Probably...you won't have to wait too long.

There is no way, the number of DA gatherings today is too large. Once the number is too large, the difficulty of keeping secrets will increase rapidly, especially when everyone's defenses are lowered.

It's really not easy to grab Harry's tail, especially the abbreviation DA, it's really hard not to associate it.

Unless, Harry went to Umbridge to set up a legitimate DA club, but this is undoubtedly a sheep's mouth, and there will be no return.

No one is stupid.

After some discussion, everyone decided to set up a Defense Against the Dark Arts study group first, so as to test Umbridge's attitude.

Oddly enough, the Defense Against the Dark Arts study group was allowed, the only requirement being that no black arts were practiced and no jinxes were used indiscriminately in the school.

After some discussions, everyone finally changed the name of the "Defense Association" to the Defense Against the Dark Arts Study Group, so that the party could carry out normal and legal activities on the surface, without worrying about being targeted by Umbridge.

Now, even Harry was confused.

No way, everything is like a dream, as if everything has returned to normal.

Hermione even suspended the original plan against Umbridge, and some of the previously compiled materials fell into Albert's hands.

"You help me send these things to Rita Skeeter first." Albert was very surprised at the innocence of this group of people, maybe students who have not been severely beaten by society are like this.

"If all this is really faked by a toad, it would be really terrible." Lee Jordan muttered after taking the information.

"It's normal. She has been in the Ministry of Magic since she graduated from school. If she doesn't even have this snack machine, why do you think she can become the director of the Prohibition of Misuse of Magic Office before the age of 30 and climb to her current position?" Albert Te was amused by everyone's innocence, but also a little helpless, perhaps, the same was true of himself.

Fortunately, after being influenced by him, several of his roommates did not look so stupid.

Regardless of whether Umbridge is pretending or not, going to Hogsmeade for Valentine's Day on the weekend has occupied the topic of discussion among the students. Umbridge was in trouble, as if everything had gone with the wind.

But, is all this really over?

I don't think so.

……

"You really intend to do that?"

Hermione already knew that Albert still did not intend to give up, and all plans were still proceeding in an orderly manner. They had already made an appointment with Rita Skeeter, and Luna had also established a good relationship. "The Quibbler" is willing to Dedicate an entire issue to this article.

"Be prepared, even if you don't need it, it doesn't matter. It's just a fee for Miss Beetle, and what I need most now is Gallon." Albert's words made Ron next to him open his mouth, Finally, I don't know where to move my eyes.

"Is Umbridge a fake?" Harry asked.

"What do you think?" Albert asked back.

"I think so, but now the Defense Against the Dark Arts study group is considered a legal gathering, so she can't do anything to us?" This is where Harry is most puzzled, they are no longer illegal, if so, Ugh What is Mlich secretly planning?
"Don't ask me about this kind of thing, think about it and guess for yourself." Albert continued to flip through the Defense Against the Dark Arts notes in hand.

This is what he got from Professor Flitwick, a note left by the former dueling champion, which contains a lot of Professor Flitwick's thoughts and experiences.

"Do you think Hogwarts will fall in the future?" Hermione no longer entangled in the past, but asked her own doubts.

"The possibility is very high. According to the prophecy, the Ministry of Magic has collapsed. If the Mysterious Man really controls the Ministry of Magic, it will be very easy to influence Hogwarts." Albert answered Hermione's question calmly, as if it was just a rare thing. The usual little things.

"I feel like my brain has been messed up by Snape, and learning Occlumency didn't help me... In short, I have more nightmares than before." Harry also expressed his confusion.

"You yourself have thought about blocking the connection between you, haven't you?" Albert unceremoniously pierced Harry's mind, "If you really want to learn Occlumency, you have to spend more time, It’s worse to put more energy into serious study instead of half-knowledge.”

"Harry, Professor Dumbledore hopes that you can learn Occlumency to protect yourself from the influence of the mysterious man." After several people left the Room of Requirement, Hermione persuaded earnestly.

"Hermione, you don't understand how bad that feeling is, how bad is the powerless feeling of being constantly invaded by the brain and being constantly peeped at. I have been trying to learn it, but it has almost no effect." Harry I have to admit that I may not really have much talent in Occlumency.

Of course, it could also have something to do with Harry trying to figure out what happened to the hallway he kept seeing in his dream.

"I think Albert is right, Umbridge may have some dark secret, Hermione, what do you think..." Harry quickly changed the subject.

Ron noticed that Hermione stopped and looked at the end of the corridor, and asked with some doubts, "What's wrong?"

"nothing?"

Hermione saw a somewhat familiar figure walking towards the Room of Requirement, and she thought that person might be their student council president.

Although Katrina was the younger sister of Albert's girlfriend, Hermione always felt that those two people might have...a woman's intuition.

"Hermione?" Harry called.

"By the way, Harry, did we forget about Hagrid?"

This time it was Hermione's turn to change the subject.

"What?" Harry and Ron were puzzled.

"Hagrid is still on probation, we can use this matter to test Umbridge."

"Do you really want to go?"

Harry didn't really want to go to Umbridge, even though she was harmless now, but Harry still didn't want to go to the Defense Against the Dark Arts office, where it would give him a bad memory.

"We've got to ask Hagrid about detention." Hermione said to Harry, "You don't want Hagrid to be expelled, do you?"

"All right!"

After much hesitation, Harry finally agreed.The three walked towards the Defense Against the Dark Arts office, and soon they rang Umbridge's office, and told Umbridge's surprised gaze why they came.

"As long as Hagrid doesn't bring any dangerous magical creatures into the classroom, I think he can stay in the school." Facing the inquiries from the three of Harry, Umbridge gave a very confused answer.

However, this left the three of Harry unable to find fault.

Because Hagrid did have a bad case of putting hippogriffs and snails in class, and Umbridge didn't even know that Hagrid also had dragons, three-headed dogs, and probably still in the forest Hidden head giant.

"What do you think?"

After leaving the Defense Against the Dark Arts office, Hermione asked.

"Can't tell, but her smile still makes me sick." Harry still didn't like Umbridge, didn't like that false smile.

"Actually, I think worrying about Hagrid's expulsion is purely superfluous. Don't forget the old liar, that guy is still waiting for Toad to leave and return to Hogwarts to continue his post. Even if Hagrid is really expelled, unless it is not Dumbledore Be the headmaster, otherwise he will definitely let Hagrid continue to serve." Ron reminded, "I'm more worried about what Hagrid hid in the Forbidden Forest, we'd better remind him, and Dumbledore knows about this something?"

"Isn't Dumbledore the headmaster? Could it be..." Hermione suddenly thought of something, had a bad premonition, and immediately walked in another direction.

"Hermione, where are you going?" Harry asked, looking at Hermione who was leaving in a hurry, "Aren't you going to find Hagrid together?"

"I suddenly remembered something, see you later."

Hermione hurried back to the Room of Requirement, intending to chat with Albert. Just now, she suddenly had a terrible guess.

When Hermione reached the eighth floor, she quickly found that the Room of Requirement couldn't get in. She tried several times, and the door of the Room of Requirement opened by itself.

She froze, opened her mouth slightly, stretched out her hands and pushed the door in.

In the room, Katrina was practicing magic, and Albert was obviously teaching each other himself.

For some reason, Hermione felt a little pantothenic. Didn't she have time to teach others Defense Against the Dark Arts?

"What's the matter?" A familiar voice suddenly sounded.

Katrina also stopped practicing magic and cast a puzzled look at Hermione.

Hermione froze for a moment, glanced at Katrina, and talked about what happened when they went to find Umbridge just now.

"She didn't agree to anything." Albert felt that there might be other reasons for Hermione to find him, but he still reminded, "In fact, most of the verbal words cannot be taken seriously, even if it is a signed contract. Works."

"that……"

Hermione glanced at Katrina, but in the end she didn't ask, she was actually afraid of getting the worst answer.

"You are really welcome."

After Hermione left in a hurry, Katrina asked curiously, "I've always been curious, but Isobel isn't angry, is he jealous?"

"Because good boys are always popular, because she knows that no one can take me away from her, so why is she angry, why is she jealous?" Albert turned his head and asked, as if he was just telling the truth.

Katrina ignored Albert and continued to hurry up to practice magic. Albert didn't have much time to personally guide her, so she had to hurry up.
