I really didn't want to practice immortality at Hogwarts

Ever since the three professors and Zhang Chun walked into the blue light curtain, Professor McGonagall had been standing uneasily in the Gryffindor common room, waiting anxiously.

Boom boom, Professor McGonagall kept walking around the room. He was worried about whether his students would have any accidents. He also began to suspect that the light curtain itself was a conspiracy, and even the three professors were on the point of no return.

Professor Sprout was entrusted by her to check if there were any security problems in other parts of the castle.

Just as Professor McGonagall was walking around the 149th lap, the door to the common room opened, and Neville Longbottom walked in. He was stunned when he suddenly saw Professor McGonagall.

"……professor?"

Professor McGonagall was surprised to see him. She deliberately blocked the passage to the common room to prevent Neville from seeing the magic light curtain inside, and said to her, "Mr. Longbottom, weren't you with them... Oh, By the way, where have you been?"

Neville was a little embarrassed when he heard Professor McGonagall ask this. After a while, he said, "I was helping Professor Umbridge just now. She said that she needed someone who could help her compile student files. I spent a while In the afternoon. She promised to give Gryffindor points."

Professor McGonagall was slightly unhappy after hearing Neville's words, but she still said to him politely, "All afternoon? You haven't eaten yet, have you? Here in the common room... I suggest you go to the restaurant to have some midnight snacks first. . Well, I'm just telling you... go to the knight's armor under the stained glass and knock three times, and the cake will pop up automatically."

"Thank you, Professor. But I need to go to the common room first. Professor Umbridge wants to help me retrieve her energy crystal ball." Neville smiled innocently.

"Who? What?" Professor McGonagall was stunned.

"Professor Umbridge, her crystal ball is in the common room..." Neville didn't understand why the professor was suddenly so serious, so he could only finish in a low voice.

Professor McGonagall had a serious face after hearing this, "Ridiculous! How could her crystal ball be in the Gryffindor common room? She has no authority to be here, and what kind of crystal ball is she bringing with her... Neville, tell me how this is?" What's going on?"

Neville felt very different when Professor McGonagall actually called him by his first name.Even Professor McGonagall's face became very ugly. Neville felt that he must have said something wrong, "...Professor, I'm sorry. Professor Umbridge said at noon that she was performing the teaching evaluation work of the Ministry of Magic. He asked me to bring the crystal ball in."

"This is so!" Professor McGonagall raised her eyebrows and pursed her lips thinly.She looked at Neville sternly and said, "Neville Longbottom, I hope you can remember that no matter who she is representing, we can only have the final say in Gryffindor matters ourselves. She has no right to come What kind of investigation are we doing here...Besides, she can't do these shameless things in Hogwarts without Dumbledore's permission!"

Neville shuddered, knowing that he shouldn't take other people's things and put them on Gryffindor's territory, even if she was a teacher.

"I'm sorry, Professor, I thought she...had the principal's permission. She also promised to give Gryffindor extra points...I just..." The more Neville said, the more regretful he became, tears already welling up in his eyes. .

Professor McGonagall looked at Neville Longbottom and sighed, "Forget it, we will talk about this later. The Gryffindor common room... you can't go in now, go have dinner first, Wu I’ll go talk to Professor Mrich later.”

What Professor McGonagall actually wanted was to hide it for a while if she could, but she didn't want to make it known to everyone now.

Neville nodded. He didn't hear the noise in the common room, and saw that his dean was so stern. Neville said no more and said goodbye to Professor McGonagall, "...Professor, I'm going to have some dinner first. .Be back soon..."

"No! Come back during the curfew... don't be impatient, eat slowly." Professor McGonagall warned him with a serious expression.

"Okay, Professor..." Neville took a few steps back, opened the door and was about to leave.But he didn't expect that as soon as he opened the door, Umbridge was standing in front of the door...

"Where to go? Mr. Longbottom!" Umbridge asked in a deliberately sweet voice.

"Professor Umbridge, I want to... go for a walk."

"Where's the crystal ball I asked you to get back?"

"This..." Neville just started.

Professor McGonagall walked straight over. She stared at Umbridge outside the door and said sternly, "Professor Umbridge, why do you place your crystal ball in Gryffindor Tower?" It’s an act ultra vires.”

"Don't worry, Professor McGonagall." Umbridge curled her lips and smirked, "I was appointed by the Ministry of Magic to conduct teaching evaluation here."

"No matter who you are entrusted by! It won't work." Professor McGonagall looked at her condescendingly, showing great determination, "This is Hogwarts! Not the Ministry of Magic."

"Okay... I will ask you for instructions later, but forget it this time. Can you please return the crystal ball to me? I won't do it next time." Umbridge quickly apologized.

"What is your crystal ball for?"

"Don't worry about it..."

"Could it be a snooping ball? Use it to record Gryffindor's every move??"

"Where is it?" Umbridge said, her eyes looking inside, as if she was anxiously waiting for this conversation to end.

"No! We need to give it to Professor Dumbledore first and wait for his decision."

"No! It's the property of the Ministry of Magic. It was given to me by Minister Fudge himself. You have no right to keep it..." Umbridge also got a little angry.

"I am the Head of Gryffindor, and I am responsible for the safety of the college!"

"give me back!"

"Unless Dumbledore sees it first!"

Umbridge raised her wand angrily, glared at Professor McGonagall, and suddenly waved her wand and shouted, "Here comes the crystal ball!"

Professor McGonagall heard that she immediately started to snatch her back, and also pulled out her wand...

At this time, a whooshing sound was heard in the common room, and a crystal ball that was hidden somewhere flew over.

The crystal ball bypassed Professor McGonagall and was about to fly into Umbridge's hands...

"Bang!!"

After a crisp loud noise, the crystal ball shattered into crystal slag in the air.

"Oh my god!! You! You actually... how dare you... silent spell! This is the Ministry of Magic..." Umbridge stared at Professor McGonagall, as if she was about to swallow Professor McGonagall.

Professor McGonagall interrupted her without hesitation, "I don't care about the Ministry of Magic! This is Hogwarts!"

Umbridge's face changed color, and she was filled with anger, but she was suddenly stunned.He raised his eyes and looked at Professor McGonagall, then looked past her and behind her, and a sudden joy appeared on his face.

"The common room is empty! Something must be wrong! I need to go in and take a look."
