Chapter 369 Educational Order No. 25

What could make someone who had just been "threatened with death" continue to do things that might bring her death without fear of the threat?

It's simple, either the threat has been removed, or someone has promised her a benefit big enough for her to take the risk!

In view of the two Slytherin seniors who followed Umbridge like bodyguards, Mike guessed that it must be someone with great prestige in Slytherin who provided protection for Umbridge.

And that person is most likely Chris!

Mike's hands loosened and clenched, clenched and loosened, looking extremely unhappy.

If things were really as he expected, and Umbridge and Chris became companions, then this would be a big blow to his plan at Hogwarts.

Mike, who was thinking, suddenly felt someone patting him lightly. He turned his head and saw Franklin looking at him with an uneasy face.

"Are you okay?" Franklin said cautiously, "Umbridge and Trelawney are gone, should we follow them to see?"

"Of course!"

Mike said, and then he walked out of the Divination classroom.

At this moment in the corridor, Umbridge was walking triumphantly under the close protection of a senior Slytherin, and behind her was a large group of students watching.

Umbridge's bodyguard was very responsible, and anyone who wanted to get within one meter of Umbridge would be blocked by him. For this reason, he even took out his wand as a warning.

At the front of the team was the expelled Trelawney and another Slytherin escorting her.

Although Trelawney's hair was messy and her eyes were red, she held her head high and her chest was proud. She

walked out of the castle with her head held high under the watch of a group of classmates around her. Looking at her appearance, people who didn't know the truth might think she was a GM martyr walking to the execution ground!

Of course, it would be even more like it if her legs weren't shaking and her steps weren't staggering.

Umbridge, who was walking behind Trelawney, saw all of this and a smug smile appeared on her face.

She really liked the feeling of power. In the past week, she was worried every day, afraid that the masked man who was once like a nightmare would reappear and stab her in the chest!

This situation continued until Chris came to visit her, and then it began to gradually improve, because Chris promised to gather the elite prospective graduates of Slytherin to protect her and use his relationship in the Ministry of Magic to fight for greater power for himself.

According to Chris, the elite Slytherins who would be sent to protect him would be of the highest level, and they would be the kind of students who could directly join the Auror Corps after a little training after graduation.

And the price of all this was just to give Slytherin College some "insignificant" privileges, and give Slytherin students some "reasonable" extra points during the exam!

This deal is simply too cost-effective!

At least it is much more cost-effective than the deal with McTomley!

Umbridge agreed to Chris almost without hesitation, and the next day, she began to retaliate against Hogwarts - expelling Trelawney!

This was Umbridge's choice after careful consideration. There was no other way. Trelawney was too weak and too unimportant.

It was perfect to use her as a test for the top management of Hogwarts!

Thinking of this, Umbridge's smile became brighter.

At the front of the team, Professor McGonagall, who was wearing a uniform and holding a textbook, was pursing her lips and walking towards the crowd.

The moment she saw Professor McGonagall, Trelawney, who was originally like a chaste woman, burst into tears. She quickly stepped forward and hugged McGonagall's thigh, choking and saying:

"She wants to drive me away! She wants to drive me away! I want to see Dumbledore, he promised me! He promised me that he would never fire me!"

Seeing this, the crowd around burst into laughter again, and almost everyone present was amused by Trelawney's huge change in attitude.

McGonagall, whose thighs were hugged, was also very helpless. She wanted to pull her legs out, but she found that Trevault was very strong and she couldn't get away at all. In the end, she could only stand there and wait for Umbridge to come forward.

Umbridge, who was walking behind, was also shocked when she found McGonagall. She stopped immediately and didn't want to move forward.

The Slytherin bodyguard beside her had obviously been warned. When he saw Professor McGonagall appear, he directly blocked Umbridge and took out his wand at Professor McGonagall.

Professor McGonagall's face became darker, and the students next to him also exclaimed.

Pointing a wand at a powerful professor?

This is simply a fantasy!

However, the Slytherin student didn't care and continued to be cautious and alert. Even if Professor McGonagall's eyes were now probably beyond repair, he would never retreat.

Perhaps it was the bodyguard's brave behavior that gave her courage. Umbridge timidly poked her head out from behind the Slytherin and shouted to McGonagall in a pretentious manner:

"McGonagall! What's the matter with you standing here?"

"I think you have to give me an explanation, Umbridge!"

Professor McGonagall's voice was unusually cold, and anyone could see that she was trying hard to suppress her anger at the moment.

Hearing this, Umbridge retracted her head again,

"I don't think it's your turn to interfere in this matter!"

"I remember I told you very clearly that the order to expel students and professors can only be issued by the headmaster, and no one can make a decision without authorization before Dumbledore returns to school!"

"Really?" Umbridge suddenly leaned forward again, and in her hand she was actually holding a piece of parchment with the stamp of the Ministry of Magic. Then she took the parchment and waved it at McGonagall, saying, "I don't think so!"

"What is that?"

Franklin asked in a low voice. Mike was about to answer that he didn't know, but he saw Umbridge in front of him began to say:

"This is a new decree! "Educational Decree No. 25"! "

Here comes another one!" Professor McGonagall shouted fiercely.

"Not bad!" Umbridge's face was covered with a smile again, "I will read the new decree now... cough...

The High Inquisitor will henceforth have ultimate authority over all punishments, sanctions and deprivations of privilege involving Hogwarts students and faculty, and will have the power to amend such punishments, sanctions and deprivations of privilege imposed by other faculty members.

Signed: Cornelius Fudge,

Minister of Magic ,

Order of Merlin, First Class

... (500 words omitted)"

After that, Umbridge carefully rolled up the parchment and put it into her handbag, still smiling.

Professor McGonagall's body was trembling slightly, and it was obvious that she was very angry with Umbridge.

Trelawney, who was kneeling on the ground, forgot even to cry, and just looked at the triumphant Umbridge with a dull face.

The classmates around also had different reactions. The Slytherins were cheering, while the people from the other three colleges were all sighing.

Oh, that's not right.

Not all people in the other three colleges were very sad.

At least the Weasley brothers were very happy, because now they have the right to expel students, which means that they are about to be expelled, and the hard days are finally over.

"So, I think I now have the right to expel anyone who makes a mistake! "

Umbridge looked around with a grin, as if she wanted to memorize the faces of everyone present in her heart.

Trelawney, who was still in a daze, fainted

after being glared at by Umbridge. The Weasley brothers in the crowd noticed Umbridge's eyes and hurriedly pretended to be heartbroken, fearing that Umbridge would expel them if she got angry.

Perhaps because she saw the frightened looks of the Weasley brothers, Umbridge nodded with satisfaction, and said to the Slytherin next to Trelawney:

"Why are you still standing there? Get her out of here!"

The Slytherin immediately took out his wand and waved it lightly. Without him chanting a spell, Trelawney on the ground floated up - this was actually a master who had mastered the silent spell!

"Wait! Didn't you see she fainted? At least send her there first..."

Professor McGonagall tried to stop him, but before she could finish her words, she saw the floating Trelawney struggling desperately.

Umbridge's face flashed a hint of irony, and she nodded and led the way out of Hogwarts Castle.

At this moment, Professor McGonagall's face was livid, and although her fists were clenched, she did not move at all.

Mike on the side could not help shaking his head.

Professor McGonagall was still too rigid. In Mike's opinion, Trelawney should be saved at all costs!

This is not to say that Trelawney is so important, but Umbridge's move is obviously testing the bottom line of the Hogwarts top management.

Perhaps Professor McGonagall... The professor thought that it didn't matter if she made a little concession, but she forgot that Umbridge was not just a professor, she was an extremely outstanding politician!

And one of the obvious characteristics of truly outstanding politicians is that they are always pushing for more!

If you take a step back on anything, they will press you step by step!

Until they completely force you to death! Eat you up and wipe it out!

It can be predicted that after this time, Umbridge will completely get rid of the shadow of the "death threat", and the lives of the senior executives in Hogwarts, including Snape and McGonagall, will become extremely difficult.

In this bad state, I believe Dumbledore must come back.

Watching Umbridge and others walk away, Mike sighed and said to Benjamin and others:

"Get ready, Dumbledore is coming back soon, and our plan must be accelerated!"

"Yeah!" Benjamin nodded solemnly, "I know!"

Franklin on the side was confused. He looked at Mike for a while, and then at Benjamin.

Mike was too lazy to explain to him, shook his head and left the crowd.

...

That night, the army gathered again.

This time, Mike learned from the last lesson and assigned two sets of special teaching plans according to the magic power and talent of the mutual aid members and others.

The one taught to Qiu Zhang and Harry was the tongue-locking spell from Snape's textbook. This spell is very simple and very practical, because once hit by this spell, your tongue will stick to your mouth, making it impossible to recite the spell.

If used well, this spell can allow them to eliminate the enemy at the lowest cost in a fierce battle.

As for those enemies who can cast silent spells, Mike believes that With the magic power of Harry and others, no matter what spells they were taught, they would be in trouble if they encountered such an enemy.

Mike's requirements for the members of the mutual aid association were much higher. Mike not only required them to master the tongue-locking spell, but also taught them several other variants of spells, such as: variant of the Bubblehead Curse - suffocation, variant of the Lumos Curse - flash bomb, variant of the Guts-Eviscera Curse - heart-eviscera...

Because it also included several spells that were obviously black magic, Hermione and Harry were very dissatisfied with Mike's behavior at the beginning.

However, under Mike's "knife is not guilty" theory, they all compromised in the end.

"Okay, I admit that you said too much!"

Harry said helplessly, and yawned tiredly after speaking.

"You are a little bit off, it's only half past ten now." Mike was a little confused, "usually you are very energetic at this time. So, what happened to you today?"

"Oh, nothing, but I played Quidditch with Ron and others this afternoon."

"Quidditch? I remember that the school Quidditch team was disbanded? "

"Our captain thinks the Quidditch team will be back soon." Harry yawned again, "so he has been taking us to training these days."

Mike frowned immediately upon hearing this. He was very puzzled by Gryffindor's defiance.

"I advise you not to go to training anymore."

"Don't worry, Mike. Huhuha~, I won't affect the class. So you don't have to advise me like Hermione did."

"I mean, you have to be careful of Umbridge." Mike shook his head, "She has more power now. If you still make trouble openly at this time, the punishment you receive will definitely be more severe."

"Oh, well, I'll discuss it with the captain." Harry said seriously, "You know, I don't have the final say on whether to train or not."

"You can refuse!"

"No, I can't." Harry said, "He (the captain) will kill me. Besides..."

Harry looked at Ron again, "We don't have to be afraid of Umbridge! Don't you think so, Ron!"

Ron, who was seriously trying to use the tongue-locking curse on Neville, was distracted when he heard this and cast the curse on a girl next to him.

The Room of Requirement was in chaos again. Mike looked at the people fighting and shook his head helplessly.

Sometimes people really kill themselves!

He had a hunch that Harry and the others would soon be punished!
