"Minerva, he did it on purpose!" Umbridge said angrily.
"No, you definitely misunderstood me, professor, I just wanted to change you back, but you know, you are always jumping around, and the target is so small, it's really not easy to aim, I tried several times but it didn't work success."
If Umbridge hadn't been jumping up and down just now, he might have been trampled to death by a few of them!
Even so, she was trampled half to death, and besides Malfoy, she was the one who was injured the most at the scene.
"Ridiculous, he should be fired..."
"I've never seen a person who stops others from fighting being punished, and expulsion is nonsense." Professor McGonagall retorted, and then muttered in a small voice, "Running in recklessly, and being able to Who is to blame?!"
Umbridge was furious, and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Snape again!
"Now is not the time to care about Mason's magic level." He reminded, "This nasty fight..."
"Oh, yes!" Professor McGonagall ignored Umbridge, she turned to look at Harry, Fred and George, and said seriously, "I've never seen such behavior, three people hitting one , What an embarrassing performance."
"It was Malfoy's provocation," said Harry stiffly.
Malfoy, who was lying on the ground, wanted to respond, but he just hummed a few words and didn't say anything.
With a strong flick of his wand, Snape conjured a stretcher, and the Slytherins put him on it.
"I look forward to the outcome of your handling of this matter, Minerva!" After he finished speaking, he glanced at Umbridge, turned around and took Malfoy and some seriously injured students back to the castle first, without waiting for this It's over.
With Umbridge involved, Snape didn't intend to fight among himself at this point.
Of course, he also has his own way. It is conceivable that Harry's Potions class results...
"I'm so disappointed, Potter! He just lost, didn't he, of course he wanted to provoke you! Don't you even understand that? But what could he say, as for making the three of you decide to show Muggles?" The way of fighting..."
"He insulted my parents!" cried George, "and Harry's mother."
The people around agreed, and now many people gathered around, trying to figure out what was going on.
Professor McGonagall needs to deal with it as soon as possible. She will lock them up three times and deduct points.
"Okay, I have roughly figured out what happened, you three listen carefully, I don't care how provocative Malfoy is, even if he insults every relative of yours. But I must admit that your behavior is disgusting, and I will punish you A week in solitary confinement each! Don't look at me like that, Potter, you deserve it, if either of you..."
"Cough, cough!" After a brief gaffe, Umbridge said, with her sinister smile back on her face, in the sweetest voice in her bones, "this is too light, Minerva, and I think we Need a little more authority now!"
"Sorry, I don't understand what you mean." Professor McGonagall blushed.
"I mean, they should be punished more severely than confinement," Umbridge retorted.
"Unfortunately!" said Professor McGonagall, widening her eyes and trying to give her a reciprocal smile, making her look like she was suffering from lockjaw. , Dolores!"
"But according to the content of "No.20 No. [-] Education Order", I have the right to revise your punishment opinion and have the final decision. Therefore, my opinion also counts." Umbridge smirked. He said without smiling, and glanced at Ivan, "I don't think the three of them should play Quidditch anymore, this sport is not suitable for them."
"Forbid us..." Harry froze for a moment, his voice was strangely distant, "Play again?!"
"Yes, Mr. Potter, I think a lifetime ban would be more appropriate!" said Umbridge, with a contented smile on his face. "For the safety of other players, you really shouldn't be touching Quidditch anymore. In the meantime, I'm confiscating your broomsticks and keeping them safe in my office to make sure no one violates my ban. I've heard that these two black broomsticks were made by Mr. Mason and I suggest they should be banned Students continue to use this private illegally assembled broomsticks, because they are not certified by the Ministry of Magic, it is undoubtedly very dangerous, so you should give me all of them, including your own hands."
"you can not……"
"I can, this is the right granted to me by the Ministry of Magic." She turned around and said to Professor McGonagall who was staring at her like an ice sculpture, "The other players can continue to play. I don't see them being violent. But Mason Mr. has undoubtedly mastered too many magics, many of which are far beyond what he should learn at his current age, and it is easy to cause accidental injuries, just like what he did just now. Although I don't mind, I think he should surrender himself wand until he can learn to control his power."
Chapter 1001 Taking the OWLs Exam
"You still want to confiscate Ivan's wand? You can't do that!" Everyone at the scene was frightened, including Professor McGonagall.
"This is the right that the Ministry of Magic gave me. I had the right to do this while he was at Hogwarts, and I had to do it." Umbridge said, smiling happily. "I know you need a period of time." Time to take this hard punishment, but believe me, it is very necessary, both for you personally and for others around you. Therefore, I hope to see wands and broomsticks before seven o'clock this evening .Don't try to give me the fake one, I will find someone to verify it. Well, that's it, I wish you a happy day!"
Umbridge limped, but left with a look of utter contentment, leaving behind an eerie silence.
Nearly 100 Gryffindor students looked at Professor McGonagall at the same time, hoping she could say something.
"Do as she says!" Professor McGonagall almost squeezed out the words, turned and left quickly.
Looking at Professor McGonagall's back, no one spoke, and panic spread among the Gryffindor students present.
People in other houses were similar to them, everyone was terrified, even the Slytherin students who had witnessed all this, the schadenfreude on their faces hadn't had time to hide, but now there was a hint of panic.
Everyone was quietly exchanging glances. Until just now, they seemed to have really realized what the position of Senior Investigator of the Ministry of Magic meant. Hogwarts has really changed!
Before, she removed Ai Wen from the position of chairman of the Boys' Student Union, and everyone hasn't felt anything yet.
But banning games, especially confiscating a student's wand, wasn't something even the headmaster could do, but Umbridge could.
Because he is not only a professor at Hogwarts, but also represents the Ministry of Magic, which is the right of the Ministry of Magic.
"It's all my fault, I'm the one who got you in trouble, and gave her an excuse to confiscate your wand." Harry said sadly to Ivan.
"Don't be stupid, she will do this sooner or later, I dare say she planned it for a long time." Ivan said, "Besides, I took the initiative to turn her into a toad, and it's not your fault. And, Harry, You don't really think I'm going to give her my wand do you?"
"What..." Harry looked at him suspiciously.
"I have another wand here, just find one that is similar to my original wand and give it to her." Ivan said that in the previous few adventures, he took back many other wizards' wands, and let the Sirius Gang He prepared it in case of a rainy day.
But even Ivan himself didn't expect that the first time he used these wands would be in this situation.
"But she said that she would find someone to verify it?"
"If they can verify what the core of my wand is, then I really want to thank her." Aiwen said, thinking of the traces he left in the Ministry of Magic, all of them were undetectable substances. There is no way to compare, "So, this punishment is nothing to me at all, the only trouble is that I can't openly take out my wand at school in the future!"
However, Ivan felt that it was just a good opportunity to practice casting without a wand and see if he could cast other magic besides those flashes. Dumbledore could do a lot, and the key was to control his own magic power.
That afternoon, Ivan sent the wand and star-seeker to Professor McGonagall and asked her to pass them on to Umbridge.
Professor McGonagall told him that she had gone to Dumbledore, but still without success.
Umbridge insisted on taking Aven's wand away, in addition to revenge, maybe it would make her feel safer.
After all, it has been two times in a row. If Aiwen can continue to use magic, Umbridge may not even feel safe at all.
Under Dumbledore's struggle, Umbridge also made some concessions.
She said that she will find experts to evaluate Aiwen's magical strength, and return the wand to him after she thinks he has the ability to control himself. These experts are the examiners of this year's OwLs exam. They are composed of powerful wizards serve.
In other words, Ivan's previous request was passed, and he will take the OwLs exam this year.
Professor McGonagall thinks that this is not good for Ivan. Although his strength is not a problem, he still has a lot of theoretical knowledge that he has not touched. Fortunately, it is only November now, and there is still time. As long as he prepares for the review carefully, there will be no problem.
She warned Aiwen to study hard and stop studying those messy things.
Compared with Ivan's situation here, Harry, Fred, and George's are even more difficult.
"Banned!" In the common room that night, Angelina said hollowly. Although she had been chanting for a whole afternoon, she still couldn't accept this punishment. "Suspended, there are no seekers and hitters. What can you do?"
"We still have substitutes."
"Hmph, the three of them are immature, and besides, no one can act as a hitter." Angelina said, "The best hitter and seeker have been lost, and the Firebolt and Star Reacher have also been confiscated. , Our advantage is gone at once!"
In the lounge, it didn't feel like they had won the game, just frustrated and angry faces everywhere.
The team sat down by the fire, except for Ron, who hadn't shown up since the end of the game, and most of the other students, all walking away in a hurry, talking quietly, for fear of alarming What.
"It's not fair!" Alicia said numbly. "How could she do that? Confiscation of Alvin's wand, broomstick, and suspension. What about Crabbe playing a Bludger after the whistle? She banned him ?"
"No!" said Ginny sadly. "He was only made to write sentences, I heard Montague laugh at dinner."
"The only thing I regret now is that I didn't trample her to death," Fred said.
There was a silence that answered him, and Harry looked out of the dark window uncomfortably, at the snow falling.
The snitch he had caught was flying around the common room, people staring at it hypnotically.
Crookshanks jumped from chair to chair, trying to catch it.
"I'm going to sleep!" Angelina stood up slowly, "Maybe it's just a nightmare, maybe I wake up in the morning and find that we haven't played yet, maybe I'll find that none of this has happened yet..."
Soon, the others also left sadly, leaving only Ivan, Harry and Hermione by the fireside.
They were going to wait for Ron, and discuss about Ivan's OwLs exam by the way.
Chapter 1002 NEWTs Class
"It's really unfair to you that she did this. You're not a fifth grader, and you can't hear what the professors say about OwLs in class. How does she want you to review?" Hermione said, "Besides, You don’t even have a wand on the surface now, and there are many spells that you can’t review, she did it on purpose.”
Considered in this light, Umbridge is indeed vicious.Confiscated Ivan's wand, and then said to give him a chance to take an exam that must use a wand and is very important to the student's life. No matter how you look at it, this is cheating Ivan.
If it was another person, it would probably have collapsed by now!
"But in fact, I didn't hand over my wand. Most of the knowledge can be found in books. Professor McGonagall also promised to help me contact other professors, persuade them to help me with tutoring, and allow me to sit in on the fifth grade class. Courses or something.” Ivan said indifferently, “It’s not a bad thing, Hermione, I’ve already learned what I need, and I also want to take the exam to prove myself, if everything goes well, I can join you next year Attend class."
After the OwLs exam, Hogwarts students will no longer be divided into classes according to grades, but will enter the corresponding NEWTs class according to the exam results.
This is the last and biggest diversion before graduation. Professors have different requirements for grades, and everyone will study separately.
For example, Snape, he only recruited students with excellent OwLs test scores, and taught them to get NEWTs certificates.
Students who did not meet his requirements could only give up the Potions class, or enter another professor's Potions class to continue their studies.
Although everyone usually contacts the deans of various colleges, in fact, Hogwarts has a staff team of hundreds of people.
So, if all goes well, Evan will be in the same class as Hermione this year.
"But what if something unexpected happens, I mean, if you can't get excellent in every subject, what should you do?"
For most people, being able to pass and get the OwLs certificate is already thankful, but Hermione is thinking that if Aiwen can't get all the excellent subjects because of this, it will undoubtedly be very unfair to him, yes quite a loss...
"Well, with you here, will I not be excellent?" Ai Wen asked back.
He didn't really care about grades anymore, but Hermione took them seriously.
Aiwen couldn't tell her whether he could get the negative words that OwLs' excellence would have little effect on him.
"Okay, you start reviewing with me today, we only have less than seven months!" Hermione said seriously, took out a schedule and a lot of parchment from her schoolbag and handed it to Ivan, "Here are my class notes and the assignments assigned by the professors. You have to complete them together, and I will bring them to you for you."
She seems to have made up her mind to supervise Ai Wen's studies and help him get a satisfactory grade.
At that time, they can enter the same class to study...
Next to the two of them, Harry had been staring into the fire, as if the world was about to end.
After a long time, he asked softly, "Has any of you seen Ron?"
"No, Lavender was also looking for him, but after the game, no one saw him." Hermione said, and then let go of the effort to explain the progress of the fifth grade course for Ivan, "I think he is Avoid us, maybe, he will be in..."
Just then there was a creaking sound behind them, the Fat Lady turned forward, and Ron crawled in through the portrait hole.
He was very pale, with snowflakes on his head.
Seeing that Ivan, Harry, and Hermione were still there, he was stunned.
"Where have you been?" Hermione asked eagerly, jumping up.
"A walk," muttered Ron, still in his Quidditch robe.
He went to the fire and sank into the chair furthest from Harry, not daring to look at them as the Snitch circled over the four of them.
"Sorry!" Ron murmured, looking at his toes.
"why?"
"Because I thought I could play Quidditch," Ron said. "But I can't. I'm so bad. I might as well put Ginny or Gut on the field. I'm going to ask to leave the team early tomorrow morning."
"If you leave the team, there will only be three official players on the team." Harry said angrily. Seeing that Ron didn't understand, he continued, "I was banned for life, and Fred and George, Angelina They couldn't find anyone to replace them. In addition, the star and Ivan's wands were also confiscated, and Ivan had to take the OwLs exam in advance, what kind of assessment would he accept..."
"What?" Ron exclaimed, and several people recounted the incident to him.
Harry didn't say a word, and he couldn't bear to repeat himself.
When Ron knew these things, it became obviously more painful.
"Blame me……"
"It's not your fault!"
"If it wasn't for me being so useless..."
"It has nothing to do with this!"
"It's that song that makes me nervous..."
"Anyone will be nervous if they change it, the lyrics they made up are too bad!"
Harry and Ron were arguing like this, Ivan and Hermione looked at each other and didn't participate in it.
"Can't you please?" finally, Harry exploded, "it's bad enough without you here blaming yourself."
Ron didn't say anything, looking sadly at his wet robe.
After a while, he muffled, "This is the worst feeling I've ever felt in my life."
