In fact, Harry and Ron were not the only victims of Umbridge at Hogwarts.

In the early morning of the next day, when the sun shone on the glass windows of the auditorium, the little wizards were enjoying breakfast.

Suddenly, the noise from the foyer broke the peaceful atmosphere.

Students who had finished their meal poured out of the auditorium, curiously exploring the source of the sound.

They passed the wide, stately marble staircase and found the foyer completely surrounded.

The students formed a large circle, with shock written all over their faces, and some even showed fear.

At the center of the circle, Professor Trelawney appeared in front of everyone in a very unusual posture.

She was sitting on an overturned suitcase, clutching her wand in one hand and an empty wine bottle in the other.

Her hair was standing up messily, and her glasses were skewed, making one of her eyes look much larger than the other. The countless scarves and shawls hanging around her body gave her a look of desolation and desolation. Feel.

In addition to the box she was sitting on, there was another box standing upside down next to it, as if it had rolled down the stairs.

"No! She screamed, her voice filled with unacceptable pain,"This can't happen... It's impossible... I refuse to accept this reality!""

"You didn't expect this, did you, Professor Trelawney?"

At this moment, Umbridge's high-pitched, girl-like voice sounded, with a hint of mocking pride:"Although you can't even predict tomorrow's weather, you should still realize that you are here. My performance during the lecture was really bad and there was no improvement after that, which will definitely lead to your dismissal."

Professor Trelawney's screams stopped suddenly. She seemed to be hit hard by Umbridge's words.

At this moment, Professor McGonagall squeezed out of the crowd and walked straight to Professor Trelawney. In front of her, he patted her back with a firm and strong hand, took out a large handkerchief from his robe, and handed it to Professor Trelawney.

"Okay, okay, Sybil……"At this time, Professor McGonagall's voice was unexpectedly gentle,"Calm down... blow your nose... things are not as bad as you think... you will not leave Hogwarts."……"

In the past, Professor McGonagall always maintained respect for other professors and almost never judged them easily. Only Professor Trelawney often showed dissatisfaction.

But this time, when Professor Trelawney fell into a desperate situation, Professor McGonagall showed a completely different attitude. She did not say any blame or sarcasm at all, but was the first to come out to comfort the other person, with a face full of compassion. Feelings

"Oh, really, Professor McGonagall? Umbridge took a few steps forward and said viciously,"Who approved this?"……?"

However, a deep and powerful voice interrupted her:

"I."

Everyone looked back and saw Professor Dumbledore walking slowly. He looked down at Professor Trelawney, who was sitting on the box with tears on her face and trembling body. A trace of pity flashed in his eyes.

He turned to Umri Professor Qi’s tone was calm but firm:、

"Ms. Umbridge, as the Senior Inquisitor, of course you have the right to fire my teachers. However, I'm afraid you don't have the power to expel them from the castle. this right——"

He bowed politely and said,"It still belongs to the Headmaster. I hope Professor Trelawney can continue to live in Hogwarts."

Professor Trelawney heard Dumbledore's words and laughed excitedly, with a hint of excitement in her voice. Mixed with sobs.

She seemed to have found support, and there was hope in her eyes.

However, Professor Umbridge had no intention of letting it go. A proud smile appeared on her face, as if she already had a chance to win:

"Please forgive me, Headmaster Dumbledore. Although I don't have the power to prohibit you from allowing her to stay in school, as the new vice principal, I think I have similar power. I can order her out of Hogwarts again as Deputy Headmaster every time you allow her to stay. It seems we need to compete to see who is more patient?"

Speaking of this, a proud smile appeared on her toad face, which made people feel sick.

"You...you can't do this!"

Professor Trelawney howled, tears gushing out from behind the big lenses like a bursting flood,"You...you can't just drive me away like this! I've been here...here for sixteen years! Hogwarts is my home!"

"Once was your home,"

Umbridge coldly interrupted Professor Trelawney's cry, her voice was high-pitched and harsh,

"But now, the Minister of Magic has signed your dismissal. Please leave this hall immediately. Your presence embarrasses us."

Professor McGonagall then followed Trelawney closely, and she shouted to Umbridge without fear:

"For Merlin's sake, Umbridge, you have fired her for your power, can't you be fair and let her stay? Umbridge laughed contemptuously, looking away from Dumbledore and looking at Professor McGonagall:

"I thought that as an old professor at Hogwarts, you would come to the middle of this hall and face all the teachers and students in the school, and you would have something to say. I didn't expect to say such vulgar words!"

Professor McGonagall's eyes widened and she glared at Umbridge.

Umbridge suddenly lifted up her skirt and bowed slightly to the crowd around her.

Her voice rose an octave, as if to make everyone present Everyone heard her words clearly:

"I have something to say, please listen carefully. Professor McGonagall, since you mentioned fairness to me, let me talk to you about fairness bit by bit."

"As we all know, first-year students are not allowed to join the Quidditch team. This is the historical rule of Hogwarts school."

Umbridge's voice echoed in the hall, and the little wizards were surprised.

They didn't know that Umbridge would suddenly say this. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Only Hermione in the crowd changed her expression.

Umbridge continued:"I believe everyone still remembers what happened four years ago, right? At that time, poor Neville Longbottom had an accident during flying lessons and was rushed to the school doctor by Mrs. Hooch. In that case, in order to maintain the order of the school and ensure the safety of the students, Mrs. Huo Qi specifically stipulated that no one should touch the broomstick without permission after she left."

The little wizards don't know why Umbridge suddenly talked about what happened four years ago.

"We all know that after that, two little wizards in the class broke this rule, but that's not the point. She paused, looked at everyone present, and then continued:

"The point is that Professor McGonagall, who has always been known for his fairness, not only did not give Mr. Harry Potter the punishment he deserved after he clearly violated Mrs. Hooch's rules, but instead thought that it was to allow Gryffindor to gain the Academy title. In the name of the cup, he took Harry to find Principal Dumbledore. She asked the headmaster to make an exception and allow Harry Potter, a first-year student who had only taken one flying lesson, to join the Gryffindor Quidditch team. Umbridge

's words were full of sarcasm,"Professor McGonagall didn't seem to have considered at all whether young Harry Potter could ensure his own safety when competing with other senior students on the field. Why should she do this? Is it because she's a Quidditch fan? Or is it because she is Head of Gryffindor?"

Her words resonated with many little wizards present.

The little lions of Gryffindor all agreed with Professor McGonagall's actions, thinking that she was thinking about the honor of the school and the interests of Gryffindor; and even more Many people questioned her actions and believed that she had indeed violated the school's rules and principles of fairness.

Umbridge did not give anyone a chance to respond. She continued:

"What's worse is that Dumbledore, as headmaster, is exactly the same as Professor McGonagall in this regard. Not only did he not uphold the school rules set by the school, but he agreed to Professor McGonagall's unreasonable suggestions. What's more, after obtaining permission, Professor McGonagall actually bought Harry Potter a Nimbus 2000 in order to circumvent the school rule that first-year students were not allowed to bring their own broomsticks - at that time, that was The only state-of-the-art broom among the four academy teams."

After that, she looked around again, and was pleasantly surprised to find that many people had expressions of shock and anger, so she added fuel to the fire:

"Has Professor McGonagall ever considered fairness in this matter? Her voice became increasingly high-pitched and inflammatory,"How fair is her behavior to other first-year students and previous students?" We cannot wantonly violate the school's rules and principles of fairness just because of Mr. Harry Potter's special talent. If we all acted like this, order and discipline at Hogwarts would be completely destroyed!"[]

As she said that, she changed the topic and pointed the finger at the fake Harry Potter.

"And our Mr. Harry Potter also learned double standards under the wrong guidance of Professor McGonagall."

She hurled sarcastic remarks at Harry,

"He was able to use Nimbus 2000 with peace of mind, but he was quite dissatisfied when the Slytherin Academy team was equipped with the more advanced Nimbus 2001. He even tried to inquire about the relevant regulations to stop the normal behavior of Slytherin House - obviously it was just an arms race that the Slytherins had to engage in to fight against his broomstick that was ahead of other teams."

"It can be seen from this that wrong guidance methods can have a terrible negative impact on students' character. Umbridge sighed at the end, as if she was worried about Harry Potter's future,"Under the influence of such a teacher, Harry Potter's character has become increasingly bad." He has now begun to lie in order to attract others' attention - lying that the mysterious man is back! What a terrible thing!".
