Hogwarts: I am the White Lord
Chapter 469 The Curse of Becoming Stronger
Umbridge raised her head suddenly, and hurriedly took out a handkerchief from her pocket and pressed it against her nose, trying to stop the gushing nosebleed.
Her miserable appearance attracted the attention of professors around her, and even some young wizards who were concentrating on eating cast their eyes over her.
"Look, there seems to be something wrong with the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor!" Fred tried to hold back his laughter, but his voice was loud, which immediately attracted the attention of more students.
"She's got a nosebleed right after she arrived?" George shouted, fearing chaos. "It must be the curse from the Defense Against the Dark Arts class that's taking effect!"
The twins' singing and dancing instantly ignited the discussion in the auditorium.
"This is too unlucky. I ran into bad luck right after taking office."
"From an occult perspective, I think she is not compatible with the Defense Against the Dark Arts class. Forcing her to teach the class might put her life in danger."
"Isn't she teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts? She can't even deal with a nosebleed. Isn't she too weak? The professors in previous years weren't so fragile."
"Has the curse become stronger?"
"Oh, if you look at it this way, what Potter said about the You-Know-Who coming back is very likely true. Otherwise, how could the curse suddenly become so much stronger?"
curse......
doom......
Mysterious man...
These words made Umbridge panic. She had originally scoffed at the return of the mysterious man, but now she began to waver.
After pressing the area with a handkerchief for a long time, the nosebleed showed no sign of stopping. Instead, the handkerchief was completely dyed red, which made her panic.
For a moment, she wanted to go straight back to the Ministry and tell Fudge that she couldn't teach the lesson and let someone else do it.
"Maybe you should ask Poppy to help you." Professor McGonagall looked at Umbridge, who looked embarrassed, and reminded her calmly, then motioned to Madam Pomfrey to check.
Even though she was quite disgusted with this guy sent by the Ministry of Magic, she couldn't allow him to embarrass himself to such an extent at the opening dinner.
Madam Pomfrey didn't say much. She quickly stepped forward to support Umbridge and took her out of the hall to the infirmary for treatment.
As soon as Umbridge left, the hall exploded. The originally suppressed discussion suddenly became louder, and the students unscrupulously discussed the so-called curse. There was even a daring little wizard who secretly launched a D game to guess how long Umbridge could last under the influence of the curse.
"How did you do it?" Ron's eyes lit up and he stared at Fred and George in admiration.
For the first time, he began to enjoy his two brothers' pranks.
He was quite sure that Umbridge's nosebleed was caused by these two brothers, but with so many professors in the professorial chair, how did Fred and George do it?
"Hush, keep a low profile." Fred raised his eyebrows and said mysteriously, "We secretly bribed Peeves to secretly add some special seasoning to Umbridge's steak in the kitchen."
George took out a piece of candy from his pocket, put it on the table and gestured, "Look at this, our latest invention for skipping classes - nosebleed nougat. This thing is the ultimate weapon for nosebleed fountains, and the special seasoning in her steak has another special effect, but it will take a while for it to react."
Hermione frowned, hesitated for a moment and said, "Wouldn't this be a bad idea... We haven't gotten along with her, so we don't know what kind of person she is."
"Hermione," Ron squeezed her hand, "think about what happened to Harry and Dumbledore, and you'll know this little prank is nothing. Umbridge is not an ordinary Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. She is a knife that the Ministry of Magic has extended into Hogwarts. I'm sure that as long as she's in Hogwarts, she will continue to cause trouble for Dumbledore and Harry."
Hermione was speechless, she knew that what Ron said made perfect sense.
After a month of training, she could fully understand that Umbridge's coming to Hogwarts represented a political struggle between the Ministry of Magic and Hogwarts, and political struggles were always life-and-death struggles.
She forced herself to discard her innocent thoughts, looked at the twins and asked curiously, "How did you get Peeves to cooperate? He's not a ghost that follows the rules."
Aren't Fred and George worried that Peeves might betray them?
"It wouldn't dare," Fred chuckled. "We are under the banner of Professor Swann. Peeves doesn't have the guts to betray us."
Oh... no wonder!
The person Peeves fears most in Hogwarts is Professor Swann, even more than the Bloody Baron, because the professor can easily make him stupid and then give him to the little wizards to kick around like a ball.
Every time he sees Professor Swann, Peeves runs as far as he can as if he has seen a demon. During exam season, he dares not even show his head, for fear of being turned into a ball and given to little wizards as a stress-relieving tool.
But...how dare you to use Professor Swann's name? Aren't you afraid that the professor will punish you?
Hermione and the others looked at each other and quietly moved away from the twins, fearing that Professor Swann would come and cause trouble and implicate them.
"Don't worry," George explained in a low voice that only they could hear, "Professor Swan has tacitly agreed to this."
Are you bragging?
How could Professor Swann condone this?
I'm afraid you two have forgotten the time when you were punished by Professor Swan for your pranks.
Seeing the look of disbelief on everyone's faces, Fred added seriously.
"Really? I'm not lying to you. Before school started, Sirius provided us with a batch of joke props. He also asked us to prepare some props for skipping classes, saying we would definitely need them. If you don't believe me, he asked us to confirm with Professor Swann."
"We contacted Professor Swann, but he had no intention of stopping us. He even said that Umbridge's class was a sheer waste of time and it was okay to skip it."
"What's even more amazing is," Fred continued in a low voice, "the professor also said that he would give us the Defense Against the Dark Arts lesson plans from previous years. We can study on our own and raise any questions we have in the Dueling Club."
"By the way," Fred kept the question a secret, "what else do you think Professor Swan said?"
What did you say?
Harry and his friends became more curious as they listened, and could not help but gather around, waiting for the twins to reveal the answer.
Fred first looked around to make sure no one was eavesdropping, then lowered his voice and said, "Professor Swan also told us to learn a few more pranks from Sirius and use them when necessary."
"He also said that this year is the year when Hogwarts has the most lax management. As long as we don't go too far, all the professors will turn a blind eye and let us do what we want without any hesitation."
"To be honest," George smacked his lips, with a look of emotion, "I was scared of being punished by the professor for my pranks in the past two years, and this year I was suddenly given more authority, and I'm a little uncomfortable with it."
Come on, look at how proud you are of yourself. You don't look like you're not used to it at all. I only made a slight move tonight and Umbridge was embarrassed.
While joking, Harry whispered, "Stop talking, Umbridge is back."
