Umbridge, who had just been immersed in sleep, was awakened by the sudden noise in the room. She stretched out her hand in panic, touched the wand placed under the pillow, and held it tightly.
"【Fluorescent flash]"
After lighting the tip of the wand, Umbridge raised her head stiffly, and her pupils shrank instantly.
She saw a huge creature - a giant monster four or five meters tall, standing in front of her bed. In Umbridge In Mbridge's eyes, the troll was like a hill, weighing her down.
The stench from the troll hit her nostrils, making Umbridge feel sick. She saw the troll raised high The thigh-thick stick in his hand was swung towards her face.
At that moment, she seemed to hear the footsteps of the God of Death.
"ah——"
Umbridge let out a shrill scream, the sound penetrated the night sky and echoed throughout the castle.
Regardless of her appearance, she rolled out of bed, knocked open the door, and ran outside as hard as she could, screaming as she ran, as if this could release the fear in her heart.
Behind her, the roar of the troll and the loud bang of the stick hitting the ground were intertwined, forming a terrifying symphony.
At this moment, a burst of cheerful laughter sounded amidst the roar of the troll. Peeves appeared out of thin air in Umbridge's room. He looked at Umbridge running away in embarrassment and laughed so hard that he couldn't help but laugh..
For the first time, he discovered that pranks could be so fun!
In the midst of giggles, Peeves turned and left Umbridge's room, disappearing into a puff of smoke down the corridor.
Shortly after Peeves left, the first person attracted by the shrill noise was Mr. Filch, the caretaker.
He held a flickering oil lamp in his hand, and the dim light cast mottled shadows on the corridor.
As soon as he reached Umbridge's door, he was almost knocked into the face by the panicked new professor.
"Professor, what happened?"Filch asked with a frown after he stabilized his body.
"Troll, a troll suddenly appeared in my room!"Umbridge's face was as pale as paper, and there was still fear in her eyes:"It almost killed me!"
Filch looked around in confusion. The corridors of the castle were quiet, and there was no other living thing except the two of them.
"Troll? This is impossible. How can there be a troll in the castle?"He began to wonder if Umbridge had a nightmare or hallucination.
However, before Filch could speak, someone spoke for him.
"Professor Umbridge, are you having a nightmare?"
Professor McGonagall's figure suddenly appeared at the corner of the corridor.
She was wearing pajamas, her hair was tied up, and her face was a little tired, but her eyes were bright.
Professor McGonagall walked up to Umbridge, her face expressionless. He said with an expression:"There can be no trolls around Hogwarts Castle. With the troll's intelligence, there is no way they can enter your bedroom without being noticed. Umbridge seemed frightened, and she defended incoherently:"But it's really a troll!" I saw it with my own eyes!"
"Filch, what happened, I just heard someone screaming."Another voice joined the conversation.
Professor Snape, wearing a gray shirt-style pajamas, appeared at the other end of the corridor with a livid face. He was obviously awakened by the scream just now. There is no way, no matter who just fell asleep He was woken up by someone, and his face didn't look good.
With Snape's appearance, more and more professors were attracted. Professor
Flitwick and Professor Sprout, who had just fallen asleep, rubbed their eyes with expressions on their faces. Dumbledore appeared sleepily in the corridor. Dumbledore was much more calm. The old man slept late and he had not yet laid down at this time.
"Professor Umbridge claims a troll appears in her room."Filch explained the situation to the other professors succinctly.
Listening to Umbridge's almost magical words, the professors present began to wonder if she was just having a nightmare and making a fuss.
However, although everyone tried to comfort her , , but Umbridge still couldn't calm down. Professor Snape finally couldn't bear it anymore. He waved his wand, and a bottle of tranquilizer appeared in his hand.
He walked up to Umbridge and said forcefully:"Professor Umbridge, Drink this and tell us exactly what happened."
Under the gaze of everyone, Umbridge tremblingly took the tranquilizer from Snape and drank it in one gulp.
As the effect of the drug took effect, her mood gradually stabilized, and she was able to describe it more clearly. What just happened.
However, when she finished speaking, the professors were still confused. How could a troll appear in the castle? Let alone Umbridge's dormitory.
Dumbledore decided to check on Umbridge himself. Richie's dormitory.
He led a group of professors towards the dormitory. Even if there was a troll, they had enough strength to subdue it.
However, when they came to the door of Umbridge's dormitory, they only saw A broken door.
Professor McGonagall frowned and walked in first. The dormitory was peaceful, and there was no sign of any larger creatures raging.
The muscles on Professor McGonagall's cheeks twitched slightly and turned his head. Said to Umbridge:"Look, there are no traces of the troll here. I suggest you go to Madam Pomfrey and get some Dreamless Sleeping Potion, which will help you sleep more comfortably at night."
"This...this is impossible, I clearly saw it just now……"Umbridge couldn't accept this fact and muttered to herself.
Professor Snape was also searching the room carefully for possible clues, and his eyes suddenly fell on the bedside table, which contained some random small objects.
He frowned and made a guess:"Maybe there is a Boggart hidden in the room."
"A boggart? Umbridge's eyes widened and she looked extremely angry,"Why is there a Boggart here?""
However, Professor Dumbledore shook his head:"There is no trace of Boggart in the room. I think Professor Umbridge may be too tired and not suitable for the environment here, so she had nightmares."
"It must be a Boggart, it must be……"Umbridge still insisted on her statement. Whether it was a troll or a boggart, there was always something in the room. Only in this way could she prove that she was not having a nightmare.
However, no matter how she insisted, the fact was before her eyes - several professors had helped search the entire room, but still could not find the Boggart that Snape suspected.
Despite this, Umbridge was still unwilling to return to the dormitory to rest, and finally had to go to the school doctor's office to disturb Madam Pomfrey.
Madam Pomfrey is an amiable witch. After carefully checking Umbridge's condition, she comforted her softly:"You are just too emotional. Drink this cup of dreamless sleeping potion and have a good rest." It's okay."
She said, handing a cup of potion to Umbridge.
After leaving the school doctor's office, Snape suddenly broke the silence:"What do you think of this matter?" His eyes swept over the faces of the professors present one by one.
Please give me flowers.
What do you think?
Just stand and watch!
No one here likes this guy sent by the Ministry of Magic to cause trouble at Hogwarts.
"Did a student deliberately scare Umbridge? Snape's brows furrowed as he began to think through various possible scenarios in his mind,"Someone secretly put a Boggart into her room?" Then, when she panicked, she took the opportunity to take the Boggart away?"
Professor McGonagall tried her best to hide the smile on her lips, and she asked doubtfully:"But, why would some students do this? According to you, this seems to be an elaborate prank. So, which little wizard did Umbridge have a deep hatred for?"(If you want to read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
In fact, she knows very well that there are definitely many little wizards who hate Umbridge.
"Maybe Peeves is up to something! Filch suddenly interjected.
He always likes to put the blame on the prankster.
All the professors shook their heads in unison. Everyone knows that the prankster can't do this.
As everyone knows, the prankster can also cooperate with wizards. , Filch got it right.
Dumbledore waved his hand gently, signaling everyone to quiet down:"Okay, it's late now, everyone should go back and rest."
However, just as he turned around to leave, Professor Flitwick quickly followed him.
"Dumbledore, are you really going to let this go? You should have also seen what Umbridge has been doing these past two days. She is obviously trying to change the teaching methods at Hogwarts in accordance with the Ministry of Magic's intentions."
Professor Flitwick tried hard to persuade:"A layman leading an expert will only make a mess."
"It's not that I want to let it go, but there are some things that I can't change now."Dumbledore sighed softly,"The situation in the Ministry of Magic is much more complicated than you think. Minister Fudge has been unwilling to admit the fact that Voldemort has returned. He has made the entire wizarding world a mess."
"All right!"
Professor Flitwick stopped. He looked at Dumbledore's tired and determined eyes and had to stop.
He knew that as the principal of Hogwarts, Dumbledore had his own difficulties. He took a deep breath, He said softly:"Well, if that's the case, let's wait and see what happens. No matter what, we will stand by you and support your decision."
Actually, Professor Flitwick was like a mirror in his mind. This matter was weird from beginning to end.[]
The first time Umbridge had a nosebleed, it could be said to be accidental, but if it happened one after another, it was definitely someone deliberately causing trouble.
As for who did it, Professor Flitwick could guess the answer on his knees. It was not like he had never seen young wizards using quick candy to avoid Charms class.
As for Umbridge's shouting that she saw a troll, it might be true that someone stuffed a boggart into her room as Snape speculated.
But is this important?
It's not important!
The important thing is that they already know everything about Umbridge's personality. From the day she drove Lupin away, they have completely seen her true face.
"I think Professor Umbridge may be too tired. Let her take a good rest."
Dumbledore said in a calm tone.
He knew very well Umbridge's true purpose of coming to Hogwarts, and he also knew what she would do here.
However, Dumbledore really didn't have the energy to entangle with her any longer. He has more important things to deal with...
