HP: I just wanted to drop out of school, but I saved the world

Using the classroom provided by Professor Slughorn, the Slytherin branch of Jade Jane's personal fan club is holding its Nth meeting on the weekend under the name of the Slug Club.

"Latest news on Parent Open Day."

Daphne spread a piece of parchment on the table:

"Warrington and Montague copied the detailed plan for the Open Day in Umbridge's office."

Theodore and Bryce leaned forward, but the more they read, the tighter their brows furrowed.

[The day's schedule: one morning run (square formation), one Defense Against the Dark Arts class (open class), lunch, parents' meeting (Note: Senior Investigator Umbridge must accompany you throughout the meeting.)...

Registration method: Lottery

Due to limited reception capacity, not all registered parents can attend this open day (Note: mainly representatives of Slytherin pure-blood families will attend.)

Student reception: The members of the investigation team will be in charge of the order, and some fifth-year students will be selected to attend the open class (Note: Slytherin students are preferred) for advance rehearsal exercises... Unsuitable and disobedient students (mainly Gryffindor) are not allowed to leave the dormitory...】

"It's obvious." Theodore's voice was filled with disgust. "She only lets the 'right' parents see the 'right' students doing the 'right' things on stage."

After hearing this, Brace, who was quite disdainful, did not forget to make a joke:

"Perhaps the unsuitable students of Slytherin, Daphne and I, will be fed the water of life and death and pass out in Umbridge's office that day."

Draco, who had successfully signed the peace agreement and returned triumphantly, heard the bad news and couldn't help but exclaimed:

"I give up. All my efforts were in vain! I finally reached an agreement! I wanted to ask those Gryffindors to do something to disrupt the plan, but they can't even leave the dormitory? They have to rely on us Slytherins?"

"And the recent Defense Against the Dark Arts class. I was wondering how that damn pink toad became like the NPC in the game, reciting the same lines for three consecutive classes! It turns out that he was rehearsing for the open class!"

"That's more than that." Blaise spread his hands helplessly, "We can finally wave our wands and practice three consecutive Ironclad Charms in her class... maybe we can practice seven or eight classes before the open day... Although there is only this one spell dedicated to the open class that can be recited, at least it can prevent the wand from rusting."

Daphne, who was lost in thought, gradually came to her senses.

She corrected the discussion, which had been drifting off track, and carefully analyzed the parents and students who might appear at the open house:

"Draco's parents, Theodore's father, Goyle and Crabbe's parents, Parkinson's parents, Bulstrode's parents, Warrington..."

She quickly made a list based on the distribution of pure-blood families:

"As for other houses, there might be a few parents who will come symbolically, such as Diggory's father from Hufflepuff, but Weasley will definitely not be able to come..."

"There are too many members of the Investigative Task Force." Blaise pinched his nose as he looked at the list. "At least Goyle, Crabbe, and Parkinson, I don't think they can still stand on our side after tasting power. To be honest, they never supported Jade from the beginning to the end."

Theodore scanned the names one by one and realized the problem:

"This list... many people are happy to see the Ministry of Magic interfere in the affairs of Hogwarts, especially my father. These days he has been lobbying those families who are already dissatisfied with Dumbledore's closeness to Muggle-born students."

"As long as what we do on this open day does not touch their bottom line, they will just turn a blind eye to Umbridge's behavior - in other words, pretend to be blind."

But what can be done to make these blind parents sit up and kick Umbridge out of school?

The little snakes were in distress.

"Bottom line...bottom line...my parents' bottom line..." Draco pressed his temple in distress.

In the silence, Daphne suddenly slapped the table and stood up, making a loud "bang" sound!

"I see! Jade told me the answer long ago!" Her eyes widened to the size of a house elf, glowing with life and joy. "Do you remember, remember Jade, how Jade was made?"

"Unforgettable." Blaise was startled by her excitement, and spoke out faster than his brain could think. "That Muggle T-shirt and jeans set a trend. It is said that many people from other colleges secretly modified a set and wore it secretly as a sign of resistance -"

He couldn't continue speaking, his mouth was opened so wide that three or four eggs could fit in it.

Because Daphne, who was sitting opposite him, suddenly tore open her standard wizard robe, revealing the clothes underneath.

It was a combination of a T-shirt and jeans, and judging from the size, it didn't quite fit her... It was obviously Jian Yu's original outfit!

"You...you actually...are you Greengrass?" Blaise murmured.

All the little snakes present, whether pureblood or half-blood, stared at her blankly, their eyes full of shock and disbelief.

"Always."

Daphne rolled her eyes at Blaise, threw her robe over the back of her chair, and showed her Muggle clothes to every fan club snake present so that everyone could see clearly:

"Did you see it clearly, you guys? Take a good look at it, look at every pattern on it!"

"You all think that this is a Muggle outfit that defiles your body, but what you don't understand is that it is a rebellion against Umbridge's oppression and a yearning for freedom! If you still want to live a happy life like before, instead of living a humble and fawning life like a toad's slave licker, put it on, show it in front of your parents, and tell them that this is the result of Umbridge's education!"

She hurried to the center of the circle formed by the little snakes and said loudly:

"At this point, Yudu has been expelled. Don't you understand? What is the most worrying thing for parents?"

"Jade has already told us with her actions, even at the risk of being expelled - she mistook wizards for Muggles!"

"Think about what she left us, think about all those Muggle books she put in the common room, don't you understand? She wants us to rebel against Umbridge in this way!"

The surprise in the air almost overflowed the classroom. Every little snake opened its mouth, as if it didn't know what to say.

But there is another kind of flame burning in their hearts, which seems to be a kind of excitement, a thrilling feeling of overturning the ceiling...

"That makes sense. It makes me feel like I'm reaching my rebellious phase." Blaise waved his wand and changed his clothes into a T-shirt and jeans. "Since we can no longer practice spells normally, the difference between us and Muggles is not just this set of clothes."

Everyone looked at each other, but soon the mixed-blood snakes silently took off their outer robes one by one, revealing the T-shirts and jeans underneath.

It seemed to be something they had hidden for a long time and dared not show in front of others, but here, they revealed it openly for the first time.

"Senior Zabini, these T-shirts and jeans are not exclusive to other houses! Senior Sister Jade from our Slytherin is the founder!"

Mafalda suddenly shouted in a loud voice. She could no longer tell whether she was doing this for herself, Jane or to resist Umbridge. Perhaps it was all three:

"I don't want my wand to rust, to be forced to write endless papers, to recite textbooks and sleep every day, to be forced to run to the Black Lake when I'm sick, and to be punished by Umbridge - I don't want to continue living like this for another six years! I want to wear Muggle clothes, read Muggle books, and use Muggle props in front of those parents! Let them drive Umbridge away, I want her to step down!"

"All this is for Senior Sister Yu!" She clenched her right fist and raised it above her head, "For our future!"

"That's right!" Daphne grabbed her arm and asked her to raise her fist higher. "Let's follow Jade's instructions and implement her guiding ideology. We should use this T-shirt and jeans as a banner of resistance and use Muggle books and Muggle products as a means of resistance! This is the bottom line for parents who come to the open day! Only then can we create the possibility of driving Umbridge away!"

Another group of snakes changed into T-shirts and jeans. Now there were only a few pure-blooded snakes still wearing standard wizard robes on the field.

Draco twisted his face, pinched his wand, and tried to prepare himself mentally:

"Anyway, it's all Umbridge's fault... I shouldn't be scolded to death by my parents, because I'm their favorite child..."

"It's all because of the ugly pink toad. She taught me bad things, what does it have to do with me——"

He closed his eyes and made up his mind, then changed his wizard robe into a T-shirt and jeans and put them on. Then he slumped down in his seat with lifeless eyes:

"I'm dirty—I'm defiled—"

"Hiss—" A pure-blooded little snake covered its eyes and twisted its face as it was about to leave. Although the joy of driving Umbridge away could suppress its disgust for these Muggle things, the possibility of his parents getting furious overwhelmed the joy. "Too ridiculous... I can't do this... Lowly Muggle things, my parents will scold me to death..."

But Theodore stood at the door, blocking his way, and coldly put his wand to his heart:

"You have no choice. Since you joined the fan club, I told everyone on the first day that if you dare to quit halfway, you will die."

"You don't want to have blood-red scars on your face tomorrow morning that will never go away, saying 'I am a snitch' or 'I am a betrayer', do you?"

The little snake trembled and moved back to its seat with its hands and feet under Theodore's wand.

Theodore withdrew his wand with satisfaction, and then he spoke to the last few stubborn little snakes wearing wizard robes:

"Perhaps your parents will be angry with you, but this is all caused by Umbridge's teaching. What does it have to do with you innocent people?"

"You just need to remember one thing, everything is forced by Umbridge. The clothes you wear, the books you read, the spells you can't cast... are all her teaching content, understand?"

Now everyone's clothes were changed into T-shirts and jeans, neatly arranged.

"I'll go ask them for some Muggle stuff at the next prefect meeting. If Umbridge finds out, just say we're confiscating Muggle artifacts."

Draco spoke weakly, he felt like ants were crawling all over his body:

"Merlin's beard - the pink toad arrangement is disgusting. We feel like we are being visited by a group of monkeys who can perform a talent show by their parents. All the pressure has come to Slytherin - forcing us to act like Muggles - it's simply an insult. I want to vomit!"

But when everyone was discussing, Mrs. Meng, who was out for a walk, rushed in with sweat on her forehead. He coughed twice as a signal:

"Our Professor Umbridge is here to inspect the Slug Club—"

A rustling sound was heard, and the students' clothes automatically changed back into wizard robes. The messy parchments on the table disappeared, replaced by snacks and candies.

Goblets filled with wine appeared in everyone's hands. Everyone had a polite smile on their face and talked about topics such as "pure-bloodism", "what gift to give Professor Umbridge", and "how to spread Professor Umbridge's reputation throughout the wizarding world".

Professor Slughorn, who had been hiding his achievements and fame in the corner, also stood up with his hand on his round belly, smiling.

After Umbridge implemented dark rule on campus and expelled Jane, the professor was furious and believed that teaching Umbridge became his criminal record and was one of the things he regretted most in his life after Riddle.

Therefore, after Jian Yu's roommate Daphne made an appointment with him for career guidance, he quickly established contact with her and used his club as the external name of the Slytherin branch of the Jade and Jane Fan Club.

He was good at dancing with his sleeves, and showed his enthusiasm in front of Umbridge, covering up for the students:

"Welcome, welcome—Dolores, what brings you here?"

Umbridge glanced suspiciously around the classroom at the students.

Seeing that they were all Slytherins and that there were members of the Investigation Team present, she felt relieved.

"Nothing, Horace," she said sweetly. "I came to observe the club run by my former professor. It was amazing to see that you could bring so many Slytherins together."

Slughorn laughed, exerting his social butterfly skills to the extreme, and personally handed her a glass of sweet sherry:

"To be honest, it's a real pleasure to see students succeed. We are all counting on you, a great man!"

"To be honest, you are the most accomplished of all my students... Although we haven't been in touch for so many years, seeing you become the senior deputy minister makes me, an old professor, very proud!"

Umbridge was delighted to hear the professor, who had once been so rude to her, paying her such humble compliments.

After all, she could sense dissatisfaction, resentment and opposition from almost all the professors at Hogwarts in their words and deeds, but Slughorn was like a stream of fresh air that instantly soothed her heart, and his voice became even sweeter:

"Oh, Horace, you are the most accomplished professor in this school. You know, I trusted you when I was a student. Yes, they are all good Slytherin kids, and you still have good vision."

"That's also the reason why I didn't stop your Slug Club. I believe that you are different from other professors. You are truly for the students instead of inciting them to secretly oppose the Ministry of Magic."

She took a small sip of sherry, twisted her pudgy body with satisfaction and left.

The little snakes breathed a sigh of relief and exchanged glances with each other.

Nothing seems to have changed here, yet everything seems to have changed.
