Dumbledore is no longer Headmaster of Hogwarts...

Jacqueline didn't know how she got back to her room, and she didn't want to believe it.She hoped it was wrong, maybe Dumbledore was just using Fawkes's feather for something else, maybe he was just leaving suddenly because he had something important to do, maybe...

Jacqueline was lying on her bed, her eyes open looking at the ceiling.Dumbledore couldn't have been expelled, not even if, even if Dumbledore's Army was on the list.Fudge, Umbridge wouldn't be ignorant enough to really think that Dumbledore wanted to raise an army at Hogwarts.

"Dumbledore was not expelled." Jacqueline turned over, she tightened her hand holding the bear, and muttered to herself, "He won't be expelled because of that list."

But the next day, when Jacqueline went up from the room to the lounge, Malfoy was standing in front of the notice board, and in his cold, pale voice, he was speaking proudly:

The Ministry of Magic ordered Dolores Jane Umbridge (Senior Inquisitor) to replace Albus Dumbledore as headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

The above regulations are in line with the "No. 20 No. [-] Education Order".

Signed: Minister of Magic Connelly Wife Swald Fudge

Jacqueline looked blankly at the people in the lounge, she hoped that someone would say "Happy April Fool's Day" to her.

"You came back late enough last night, my big shot roommate." Pansy squeezed out from the crowd around the bulletin board, she walked up to Jacqueline's side, and touched her with her shoulder, "You should Looking at Umbridge's face when she saw that list, I almost thought she needed to go to the school infirmary to fix her dislocated jaw."

"They fired Dumbledore?" Jacqueline looked at Pansy, and she asked in disbelief.

"I wasn't there." Pansy shrugged, "But, according to the version I heard, Dumbledore escaped and injured a few people before he left. But your girlfriend's Gryffindor Many classmates Potter and Marietta are on the scene, maybe you can get more first-line news from him."

"He escaped?" Jacqueline's eyebrows were almost raised to the sky. "He just gave up Hogwarts? He gave up his school?"

Pansy snorted, "Maybe."

Jacqueline was silent for a while, then she tugged on her robe, "Okay, I'm going to have breakfast up there, do you want to go too?"

"We may not be able to go yet." Pansy looked up at the watch on her hand, "Umbridge wants to see us this morning, she said last night."

A mocking smile appeared on Jacqueline's face, "Oh, so, are we going to meet her in the principal's office now?"

"Not the headmaster's office." Pansy lowered his voice. "Last night, Fudge and the Ministry of Magic couldn't find Dumbledore in the castle, and what's worse, when Umbridge planned to enter the headmaster's office later. At that time, she couldn't get past the monster guarding the gate. The principal's office was automatically closed."

"At least something is still persisting." Jacqueline snorted coldly, "So, where are we going to meet our new principal?"

"Here." Pansy pointed to her feet, "We will wait for her here."

They didn't have to wait long, or so Jacqueline thought.She just curled up in a chair in the lounge and thought for a while, and a flame went up in the Slytherin fireplace, and Umbridge appeared in the lounge.

"Welcome to our new Headmaster," Malfoy called out to those in the common room, standing up the moment the flames lit up in the fireplace.Jacqueline stood up from her chair, and she looked around. The only people in the lounge were those who went to catch DA with Umbridge last night.

"Sit down, my dear children," Umbridge said to them, with a broad smile on his face. "Without you, the Ministry of Magic could not have exposed Dumbledore's plot so quickly. Miss Graham, The Minister would like to thank you from the bottom of his heart, without that list the Ministry would have been unable to catch the culprit."

Jacqueline looked at Umbridge very coldly, then she bent slightly, "It is my honor to serve for the Ministry of Magic and you."

"The Minister is also very pleased to see the loyalty shown by the Slytherin students to the Ministry of Magic." Umbridge said kindly, "It is also because of this that the Ministry decided to conduct an investigation in the city of Hogwarts Group, you will help me run this school together, and that is why I give you the power to deduct points. Come on, boys, put this brand new badge on."

After Umbridge left, Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle walked out happily immediately, and it seemed that they wished they could deduct points from other houses in one day.Jacqueline leaned back on the chair, her brows were furrowed, as if she still didn't understand what happened.

"Are you going to eat?" Pansy patted Jacqueline's shoulder, "You know, it's almost lunch time, and we still have classes in the afternoon?"

"You go first, Pansy." Jacqueline leaned back in the chair, she pursed her lips, clasped her hands on her chin, and stared blankly in front of her, "I want to stay by myself for a while."

"Don't even think about it, my good roommate." Pansy pulled Jacqueline up, "I just happen to know someone who can solve the strange problem in your head. At this time, Miss Granger has just finished Herbalism class, right?"

Jacqueline was dragged towards the hall by Pansy like a puppet on a string.From far away they could hear Malfoy's triumphant voice: "So, Granger, I'll deduct five points from you for disrespecting our new Headmaster. Five points from McMillan for talking back to me. Extra five because I don't like you. Weasley, your shirt isn't tucked in so I'll take another five. Oh, yes, I forgot, you're a scum…"

"Are you sure you want to finish this word?" Jacqueline stood at the top of the stairs with her chest crossed impatiently, and she glanced at Malfoy with some disgust, "Or maybe I need to teach you a lesson before you Can you remember that Miss Granger in front of you is my girlfriend?"

"Yeah, a girlfriend in Gryffindor," Malfoy said sarcastically, and Crabbe and Goyle chuckled.

"What's wrong with you?" Jacqueline sneered, "Neither the Minister for Magic nor our new headmaster thinks there's anything wrong with me having a girlfriend in Gryffindor before you put on your shiny badge Do you want to object to the headmaster after a few minutes?"

Malfoy took a look at Jacqueline, then said slowly, "Ten points off you, Granger, you know what you are." He laughed and stalked away with Crabbe and Goyle .

"So what," snapped Ron, looking at Jacqueline, who had apparently seen a small silver "I" badge on Jacqueline's robes, "are you serving that old hag now, too?"

"Watch your wording, Weasley." Jacqueline gave him a sideways look. "I have no problem taking Gryffindor points off."

She snorted, turned her head and walked towards the corridor outside the castle with her chest in her arms.

But Hermione quickly caught up, and she dragged Jacqueline to a hidden corner of the corridor, her breathing was a little short, "What happened, Jacqueline? Are you going to lock yourself up again?"

"It's nothing." Jacqueline mumbled, "I'm going to class."

"There's at least half an hour until the next class," Hermione snapped. "I'm your girlfriend, remember?"

Jacqueline turned around, she hugged her chest against the pillar, looked outside, "Dumbledore is gone."

"Yes." Hermione nodded, "I didn't blame you for this, and you can't blame yourself for this."

Jacqueline lowered her head slightly, she pursed her lips, and said in a calm voice that made Hermione feel uneasy, "I thought he could, he would stay instead of throwing the whole school to Umbridge. I wonder if he imagined what was in store for us when he went away."

"Are you talking about us?" Hermione seemed to want to make a joke, Jacqueline turned to look at her, but she didn't smile, "Dumbledore took all the responsibility on himself , he wanted to protect Harry," Hermione explained.

"And one Potter is more important than all the students in the whole school?" Jacqueline asked with a frown. "For one Potter, he can abandon the whole school?"

Hermione froze for a moment, she didn't seem to have thought about it, "I don't think the headmaster has abandoned Hogwarts," Hermione tried to explain, "he, he must be...will...always Somehow watching what's going on here."

"Yes, look from a distance." Jacqueline snorted coldly, a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth, "I thought he had a way to protect your DA without getting fired .It's just that it looks like I overestimated him."

"Nobody's perfect," whispered Hermione, "even if that person was Headmaster Dumbledore."

Jacqueline turned her head, she looked at Hermione for a long time, then she seemed to have figured it out, and smiled sarcastically, "Yes, no one can be perfect, even Dumbledore and the mysterious man the Great Wizard."

Hermione looked at Jacqueline, she felt that the current Jacqueline was a bit strange, but she couldn't tell how she was different from before. "Jacqueline, I..."

At this time, a loud "bang" came from the castle, and Jacqueline subconsciously used one hand to wrap Hermione around her chest. Her right hand was already tightly holding the wand, and she looked around vigilantly.

"What's going on?" Hermione asked in shock.

"I don't know," Jacqueline whispered, "but we have to go back, you need to be seen. And, Hermione..." Jacqueline glanced around, "All the owl mail coming in and out of the castle All will be checked, and if necessary, go to Haig, he knows you."

Jacqueline and Hermione knew what was going on as soon as they entered the Great Hall.Fire dragons made of green and gold sparks were flitting up and down the corridor, sending out brilliant fiery red streams and making huge explosions; bright pink Catherine wheel fireworks, five feet in diameter, with Like so many flying saucers, rockets bounced off walls with long, shining tails of silver stars; pyrotechnic sticks scribbled curses in the air.Here and there firecrackers exploded like landmines, and instead of burning out, fading out of sight, or hissing to a halt, these dizzying wonders seemed to gain more energy and momentum with time.

Filch and Umbridge stood on the lower half of the stairs, visibly petrified.A relatively large Catherine Wheel Firework seemed to think that it needed more room to move, and made a terrifying "buzz, buzz" sound, spinning and flying towards Umbridge and Filch.They both yelled and slammed down in terror, and the Catherine Wheel sparkler flew straight out the window behind them and across the field.At the same time, several fire dragons and a big purple bat emitting scary smoke took advantage of the open door at the end of the corridor to escape to the third floor.

"Come on, Filch, come on!" shrieked Urmridge, "we've got to do something before they're flying all over the school, fainting!"

A burst of red light erupted from the tip of her wand, hitting a rocket.Instead of stopping in mid-air, the rocket exploded violently.It blasts a hole in a painting in which a melancholy-looking witch escapes in time in a meadow, only to reappear seconds later.She squeezed into the next painting, where a few wizards were playing cards, and they got up hastily to make room for her.

"Don't stun them, Filch!" Umbridge yelled annoyed, as if Filch had said the spell just now.

"You're right, Headmaster!" gasped Filch, who was actually a Squib, and it would be better for him to swallow those firecrackers than to stun them.Filch rushed to a nearby cupboard, pulled out a broom, and began slapping the fireworks vigorously in mid-air; within seconds the broom head was on fire.

The fireworks continued to burn throughout the afternoon and spread everywhere in the school.Although these fireworks, especially those firecrackers caused a lot of confusion, the other teachers didn't seem to care much.

"My God, my God," said Professor McGonagall sarcastically, as a fire dragon was flying around her classroom, making loud explosions and spewing flames, "Miss Parkinson, would you please run and tell the Headmaster One sound, there is a firework that slipped through the net in our classroom?"

It turned out that Umbridge's first afternoon as Headmaster was spent running around the school, meeting the demands of the other teachers.Without her, none of these teachers seemed to be able to clear the fireworks in their rooms.The bell rang for the end of school, and they headed towards the auditorium with their schoolbags in their hands. Umbridge, disheveled and shambling, walked out of Professor Flitwick's classroom with sweat on his face. "Thank you very much, Professor!" said Professor Flitwick in a thin voice. "Of course, I can clear these sticks myself, but I am not sure whether I have the power." Umbridge's face closed the door of the classroom in a mess.

"These fireworks are amazing." At dinner, Hermione and Jacqueline sat at the end of the Slytherin table, and the other Slytherins now saw a Gryffindor prefect sitting at theirs. It was very calm at the table.Hermione said admiringly as she filled Jacqueline's plate with food, "Sometimes I think Fred and George are geniuses."

Jacqueline lay lazily on the table, looking sullenly at the food on her plate. Her appetite was not very good today. She felt that she might be sick and didn't want to eat at all.

"Hey, let's go on a date tonight." Hermione said cheerfully as she pushed a bowl full of chicken soup in front of Jacqueline.

"What?" Jacqueline looked up at Hermione, "You know we still have homework, right?"

"The Easter holidays will start on Friday, and we'll have plenty of time then," said Hermione cheerfully, "So, why don't you hurry up and finish your dinner, and let's go on a date."

"Are you okay?" Jacqueline reached out her hand uncertainly and touched Hermione's forehead.

"Don't be stupid." Hermione shook her head, "But since you said that," she wrinkled her nose, and Jacqueline thought her gesture was too cute, "I think I found a little rebellious feeling .”
