Harry Potter and the Secret Treasure

Page 477

The students for dinner were all pouring out of the auditorium, and there were many crowding on the marble stairs.

Harry squeezed his way through a group of tall Slytherins and saw a large circle of onlookers.

Some people looked shocked, some even looked terrified, and some kept wiping their tears.

He also saw Professor McGonagall, who seemed uncomfortable with the scene before her.

Then, he saw Alvin, Hermione, Ron, Elaine, Colin, and Ginny standing opposite each other, and he hurriedly squeezed over.

"What happened?" he asked quickly.

"It's Professor Trelawney!" said Hermione, with unconcealable shock and sadness in her voice, "During dinner just now, that woman announced in front of the whole school that she was fired!"

At this very moment, Professor Trelawney stood in the middle of the hall, with a wand in one hand and an empty wine bottle in the other.

She looked completely insane, with her hair loose and her glasses askew, making one eye much bigger than the other.

Her countless scarves and shawls were hung in a mess, giving the impression that she was in tatters.

Beside her were two large boxes, one of which was upside down as if thrown from a staircase.

"NO!" she screamed, "NO! THIS CAN'T HAPPEN! IMPOSSIBLE! I REFUSE!"

"You didn't expect this?" said a high-pitched girlish voice, seemingly amused, "Although you can't even predict tomorrow's weather, you should always be aware of your poor performance in my class And the lack of improvement thereafter will inevitably lead to your dismissal?"

"You, you can't!" howled Professor Trelawney, tears streaming from behind the large glasses, "You, you can't fire me! I've been here for 16 years! Ho-Hogwarts is me , my home!"

Chapter 1049 The Fuse and the New Divination Professor

"It used to be your home!" said Professor Umbridge, with a smug smile on her toad's face as Professor Trelawney slumped on a box and wept bitterly. "Until an hour ago, magic Until the Minister signed your dismissal order, please leave the hall now, you really embarrass us."

She stood there, gloating as Professor Trelawney shivered.

Choking and shaking, she rocked back and forth on the box in fits of grief.

Professor McGonagall squeezed out from the crowd and walked straight to Professor Trelawney.

She patted Professor Trelawney on the back vigorously, and pulled a bandanna from under her robes.

In the crowd, many students also cried silently.

Although many people didn't like her class, what happened before them was too cruel.

"Okay, okay, Sybil, calm down!" Professor McGonagall comforted her, "It's not as bad as you think, and you won't leave Hogwarts."

"Oh, is that so, Professor McGonagall?" said Umbridge viciously, taking a few steps forward. "Who approved this?"

"Me!" said a low voice.

The oak door opened, and the students at the door hurried out of the way, and Dumbledore appeared at the door.

In order to help Kerexis treatment, he has been away from school recently, and he seems to have rushed back from outside in a hurry after receiving the news.

Standing in the door frame, Dumbledore had a sense of majesty against the misty night.

He left the door open and strode through the crowd to Professor Trelawney.

She was still sitting on the box, tear-stained and trembling, and Professor McGonagall was with her.

"You, Professor Dumbledore?" Umbridge let out a particularly nasty shrill laugh, and pulled out a roll of parchment from his robes, "I'm afraid you don't know that I almost have a dismissal signed by myself and the Minister of Magic. According to the "No.20 Three Education Order", the Hogwarts top investigator has the power to inspect, retain for probation and dismiss any teacher who, that is, I, thinks that it does not meet the standards of the Ministry of Magic. I think Trelawney The professor is not qualified and I have fired her."

"Yes!" Dumbledore, still smiling, looked down at Professor Trelawney who was still sobbing on the box, and said calmly, "Of course you are right, Professor Umbridge, as the chief investigator , you have every right to fire my teachers. However, I am afraid that you do not have the right to expel them from the castle. This power probably belongs to the headmaster, and I hope that Professor Trelawney will continue to live in Hogwarts."

Trelawney gave an excited laugh and a little sob.

"No, no, I'm leaving, Dumbledore! I'm leaving, leaving Hogwarts to make a living elsewhere!"

"No, I want you to stay, Sybil!" said Dumbledore firmly, and he turned to Professor McGonagall, "Would you please take Sybil upstairs, Professor McGonagall?"

"Of course!" said Meg. "Come on, Sybil, go upstairs!"

Professor Sprout hurried up to take Professor Trelawney's other arm, and the two of them led her past Umbridge and up the marble stairs.

Professor Flitwick ran after him, wand raised, screaming, "Crate move!"

Professor Trelawney's box rose into the air and followed them upstairs, Professor Flitwick's back.

Umbridge stood there, staring at Dumbledore, who was still smiling kindly.

"What are you going to do with her when I appoint a new divination teacher and I need to use her room?" She whispered, but her voice still spread throughout the hall.

"Oh, that's no problem!" said Dumbledore happily. "You see, I've found a divination teacher who is willing to live on the first floor."

"Have you looked for it?" said Umbridge sharply. "Have you looked for it? Let me remind you, Dumbledore, that according to Education Order No. 20 No. [-]..."

"The Ministry has the power to appoint a teacher when and only if the Headmaster cannot find a suitable candidate. I am happy to announce that this time I have found one. Shall I introduce you?" He turned his head to the door through which night mist drifted in.

The students heard hoofbeats and terrified murmurs in the hall.

The people by the door quickly backed away, some stumbled, and a face appeared in the fog.

With pale blond hair and startlingly blue eyes, the human head and limbs were mounted on a fawn horse.

"This is Firenze!" said Dumbledore cheerfully. "I think you'll find him a good fit."

Across from him, Umbridge stared dumbfounded at the sudden appearance of the centaur...

The sudden change caused an uproar in the castle. The fact that Professor Trelawney was expelled brought the hatred of teachers and students towards Umbridge to the peak. Many people did not like Professor Trelawney and thought she was a liar. , but Umbridge's approach was too rough and too cruel!

And Professor Trelawney's performance in the foyer in the evening was really pitiful.

Even Hermione, who always had a problem with her, stood on Professor Trelawney's side this time.

After the incident, Lavender, Parvati, and some other girls visited Professor Trelawney.

They are all the most loyal supporters of the divination class, and brought back some news!

"We just visited her in her office and gave her some daffodils, beautiful daffodils, not the Sprout ones that call." In front of the fire in the common room, La Wende said to them.

"how is she?"

"Not very well, poor thing!" said Lavender sympathetically. "She cried and said that she would rather leave the castle with Umbridge here. I don't blame her at all. Umbridge treated her It's too domineering, isn't it?"

"I have a feeling that Umbridge's dominance is only just beginning," said Hermione sadly.

"Impossible, she is too bad."

"You will remember my words, Dumbledore appointed a new teacher without consulting her, and she will take revenge," said Hermione. "This is the second half-human. Umbridge saw Faerun Ze Shi, you have also seen the expression on her face."

Hermione predicted Umbridge's vengeance, but the students had reached the limit of their patience with her.

Ivan feels that the outbreak is not far away, and the report that will be published tomorrow morning is the fuse.

After Firenze came to the castle, Ivan led everyone to visit him that night.

He has a good relationship with the centaurs, and Hermione, Elaine, Ginny, etc. are very interested in Firenze.

"Welcome!" Firenze let them into the classroom, where he will live from now on, his strangely blue eyes looked at everyone without blinking, but there was no smile on his face, "According to the guidance of fate, I'm at Hogwarts."

Chapter 1050: Owl Rain Strikes Again

Classroom No. 11 where Firenze lives is generally rarely used, and it used to feel a bit like an unattended cupboard or storage room.

But at this moment, the classroom floor was covered with soft moss, and the trees grew out of it.

Their branches, covered with lush foliage, fanned across the ceiling and windows, blocking out the moonlight.

Firenze let them in, and he stood in the middle of the treeless clearing.

"Hello, Firenze!" Ivan said, looking at the centaur who hadn't changed much, "Why did you come to Hogwarts?"

"Obviously, since I am willing to accept the job of Professor Dumbledore..."

"I mean, what do other centaurs in the tribe think of you coming to Hogwarts?" Aiwen said, looking at the black horseshoe-shaped bruise on Firenze's chest, "They probably won't agree easily ?”

"They have already exiled me. They think my behavior is a betrayal of my compatriots." Firenze said. There is nothing wrong with my approach, similarly, I don’t think there is anything wrong with my approach to coming to Hogwarts, according to the guidance of the stars, I should come here.”

Horse people have been observing the changing trajectory of the planets all their lives, and believe in the fate foretold by the stars.

But Xingchen guides Firenze to Hogwarts to be a divination professor, it's too ridiculous, Xingxing doesn't care about such things.

It was he himself who wanted to come here. As an alternative among the centaurs, Firenze was very interested in human civilization.

Of course, since he came to the castle, he was ready to pay the corresponding price.

Firenze, like other centaurs, knows many secrets, but he never speaks directly.

But in general, he is more reliable among the centaurs and is willing to help. Although he can't use magic, he is very capable in melee combat and bow and arrow.

They chatted for a while, and then Firenze told Ivan that the centaurs were losing patience with the giant Glop.

He hoped that Ivan would persuade Hagrid to give up. In his opinion, Hagrid was losing his mind, and that effort was useless.

Ivan promised to talk to Hagrid, but Hagrid will definitely not give up. He is as stubborn as the centaur in this kind of thing.

Not to mention, because Elaine is going to make friends with Grapp, Hagrid is now in the mood.

He even told Glop where he was, and asked Ivan to lead Hermione and Elaine to see Glop when he was free.

That night, the topic in the castle quickly shifted from the game between Gryffindor and Hufflepuff to the murderous Umbridge, poor Professor Trelawney and the new divination professor Firenze. Wen, Harry and Hermione were looking forward to the report tomorrow morning, and Elaine knew about it, but didn't take it to heart.

She wanted to see giants with all her heart now, and the girl was interested in big things she had never seen.

On Monday morning, Hermione had been staring at the ceiling, waiting for the owl to deliver the latest paper.

She wasn't the only one anxiously awaiting the Hogwarts Gazette, almost everyone was eager to know the latest news on the escaped Death Eaters.

Despite numerous reports of seeing them, none have been caught so far.

Umbridge had stopped ordering the Hogwarts Newsletter, but not many obeyed.

They have other methods, they can be mailed in among other things.

There were so many owls every morning that it was impossible for Umbridge and Filch to check.

They will only focus on the owl mail to Ivan, Harry and others.

"Oh, here it is!" said Hermione, who had been looking at the ceiling since morning.

A black owl landed and brought the latest issue of "Hogwarts Wizardry", the headline on the front page was the interview with Ivan and Harry: Tell the truth, we have witnessed the resurrection of the mysterious man , under the huge title is a photo of Ivan and Harry.

Then, there are rows of headlines in order: The Return of the Mysterious Man and Its Influence, Dumbledore’s Speech at the International Federation of Wizards, Harry Potter, the Boy Who Lived, Accuses Death Eaters Hiding in the Crowd, Ah The truth about the escape from Zikaban, the fact that Fudge, the Minister of Magic, tried his best to hide, the loopholes in the management of the Ministry of Magic, what should we do in the face of danger, etc.

Today's Hogwarts Gazette of Witchcraft and Wizardry is Voldemort's special edition, full of weight.

It started with an interview with Ivan and Harry, followed by reports on Voldemort, Death Eaters, and the dark incompetence of the Ministry of Magic.

"Hogwarts Wizardry" calls on all wizards to recognize the truth and stand up to resist.

"Looks good!" said Hermione, flipping through the newspaper quickly. "There's a lot of big news in there."

"It's really good, but I don't know how the response will be?"

This question was answered immediately. Five minutes after they received the "Hogwarts Wizarding News", there was a second rain of owls in the auditorium. The number was astonishing. It kept pouring in.

All students, regardless of whether they subscribed to "Hogwarts Wizardry" or not, immediately turned their attention to Ivan.

They had seen this phenomenon once before, that was when the truth of the Sirius incident was reported.

At that time, the entire wizarding world seemed to be going crazy. People kept writing letters to Ivan and Harry until the end of the semester.

But this time the number of owls far exceeds that of the last time. Everyone knows that Ivan must have done something again.

Imagine that scene, hundreds of owls flocking in at once, with more to follow.

They kept squeezing around, screaming and flapping their wings, hoping to give the letter to Ivan or Harry first.

"I never thought that I would see this picture again. I thought once would be enough!" Ron said.

"It's all letters from readers, this report is a great success!" Hermione said excitedly, she picked up a letter and opened it, "Look, this person is willing to believe us, he is willing to believe that the devil is back! "

"Not everyone!" Harry also opened one, and crumpled the letter up casually, "This guy said that Ivan and I were mentally ill, and he suggested that we go to St. Mungo's for a period of magical shock treatment."

"This one is a bit contradictory!" Fred also participated in the opening of the letter enthusiastically, "I said you don't look like lunatics, but he really doesn't want to believe that the mysterious man is back, so he doesn't know what to think now. God , What a waste of parchment!"

"There's a mention of my uncle here!" said Elaine. "He thinks the Ministry of Magic and the Daily Prophet are very unjust and blame everything on vampires, but since the Quidditch World Cup, no more I haven't seen a vampire. Well, what this guy said makes sense, but I've been here..."

"Okay, don't tear it down!" Aiwen said, looked up at the owl that almost covered the entire ceiling, and hurriedly pulled Hermione up, "There are too many, I can't tear it down at all. If you don't want to be surrounded by owls and letters If you are surrounded, leave here as soon as possible, and I will order Dobby to help deal with these letters."

Ivan and the others left, but the auditorium has fallen into madness, and this is just the beginning.
