"Dumbledore."
Umbridge slowly opened her eyes.
Professor McGonagall called Dumbledore, with a look of distress on her stern expression, and went over to check on the students.
Dumbledore walked in calmly and asked: "Inquisitor Umbridge, I wonder what my students have done that warrants punishment here?"
"They violated the education order and gathered privately to create...Dumbledore's Army, right?" Umbridge asked Slytherin next to her.
If Pansy were here, she would recognize her studious boyfriend.
"No, she's talking nonsense!" George protested loudly.
Fred shouted equally: "We didn't do anything, she was just talking nonsense."
"Really?" Umbridge said to Dumbledore with a hideous smile, "I have told Minister Crouch about the matter. He is very interested in getting Dumbledore's Army and is already here. On the way."
"Then please allow us to change places to receive our Minister Crouch." Dumbledore replied calmly, unchanged for thousands of years.
Umbridge just wanted to bring down Dumbledore, and everything else was secondary.
So she took Harry with her and headed to Dumbledore's principal's office.
Harry was carried and slipped to the principal's office. He wanted to talk to Dumbledore several times, but saw him look away.
Before they arrived, someone was already outside the office.
It was Old Barty and the others, and he also brought two Aurors.
One of them is Kingsley, and it seems that Old Barty trusts him very much.
"Barty." Dumbledore greeted him.
Old Batty looked a little ugly and said, "I heard from the investigator that you want to form an army in the school?"
If it were any other matter, Barty Sr. would definitely let Umbridge play around on her own.
But this time, Umbridge told him that Dumbledore was organizing an army at the school, which made Old Barty unable to sit still.
Entering the office, Old Batty's face didn't look much better.
"Dumbledore, I need to tell you," Old Barty said after coming to the office: "Even though you have resigned as the chief wizard of the Wizengamot, you still need to abide by the law."
"What will you make the parents of those students think?" Old Barty accused Dumbledore.
Umbridge was afraid of Dumbledore's quibbles, so she stepped forward and said flatteringly: "Minister Crouch, I received a report and discovered this behavior. Do you need me to bring out witnesses?"
It seems that Umbridge is also fully prepared, and Old Barty can do anything.
Umbridge went out for a while and came back with a girl covering her face.
Harry recognized the girl as Marietta, Cho Chang's friend.
But her face became very ugly, and a series of dense purple pustules formed the word "snitch" on her face.
Harry immediately remembered that Hermione had tampered with the original signature.
Umbridge recounted the story, which made Harry very angry.
"Shut up," Old Barty interrupted Umbridge, stared at Marietta, and said strangely, "Why doesn't she speak?"
"I haven't found a breaking spell for this yet," Umbridge admitted reluctantly.
Harry felt a surge of pride at this; Hermione's spell abilities were very powerful.
Umbridge saw that Old Barty had signs of black face, and said hurriedly, "Education Order No. 24 has been in effect for nearly six months, and gatherings during this period are illegal."
"Well," Dumbledore said, looking at Umbridge with a mixture of politeness and interest, "if they do continue to party after this law comes into force, then they may of course be breaking the law."
When Umbridge's smile was about to appear, Dumbledore changed the subject and said, "But what evidence do you have to prove that there was such a party later?"
As Harry heard Dumbledore speak, he heard rustling behind him and Kingsley muttering something under his breath.
There was brief confusion in Marietta's eyes.
Of course Umbridge had evidence. Although Marietta couldn't be made to speak, she could be made to nod.
But the facts were unexpected. The whistleblower Marietta denied everything.
Professor McGonagall was also here, participating in the questions.
The result was obvious. Harry suspected that what Kingsley had just muttered was some kind of curse.
Let Marietta answer the opposite.
Umbridge got angry and roughly turned Marietta over and shook her violently.
For the first time, a look of anger appeared on Dumbledore's face. Umbridge let go of Marietta and waved her hands around as if they were burned red.
"I will not allow you to treat my students roughly!" Dumbledore said with an angry look.
Old Barty's brows did not relax, and Umbridge quickly took out a list and handed it to Old Barty.
Seeing the signature above, Old Barty took a deep breath and said, "Dumbledore, I need you to tell me that this is a farce."
"Now that it has been discovered," Dumbledore said calmly, going against common sense, "I acknowledge the existence of Dumbledore's Army."
"What?" Old Barty said with a straight face, "You know what this means."
"Of course," Harry was about to say something but Dumbledore interrupted him, "That's Dumbledore's Army up there, not Potter's Army."
"I think I can no longer stay at school," Dumbledore said, making Harry stunned. He winked at Harry and said, "I will resign and take over all responsibilities."
"Dumbledore, if you want to pay for your students," Old Barty said with a strange look in his eyes and a dry cough, "then I agree with your resignation."
Dumbledore resigned?
Harry froze.
Originally, Dumbledore had temporarily stepped down as headmaster until the investigation was completed.
But now he has resigned directly, which means there is no more principal of Hogwarts.
And all this is because of myself.
Harry fell into endless self-blame.
...
"Resign directly?"
John was a little surprised. He was surprised when he saw the announcement.
"Someone reported the Potter guys who were doing little things." Malfoy said happily, "Potter, who always thought he was the core, has now made Dumbledore resign."
John chuckled and said, "At least they negotiated peacefully."
Dumbledore resigned voluntarily, leaving the headmaster's position vacant.
Umbridge wanted to be the principal, but Old Barty knew that this tool man would be abolished in the future, so it would be ridiculous and generous for him to be the principal.
The position of principal is vacant due to the fact that no suitable person has been found.
Regarding the choice of acting principal, Professor McGonagall should have been the one.
In terms of qualifications and status, Professor McGonagall is the most suitable.
It was a pity that Professor McGonagall was unwilling to take up the post, which also made old Barty relieved.
If Professor McGonagall continues to serve, Umbridge's Inquisitor will be hindered as never before.
You must know that Professor McGonagall is not Dumbledore, and he doesn't like to let nature take its course.
If Umbridge punished the students, Professor McGonagall would break up with the Ministry of Magic and kick Umbridge out.
"John, we need to talk." Daphne took Pansy to find John.
John looked at Pansy's red and swollen eyes, nodded and said, "Change somewhere."
They came to the Star Club.
It's Pansy's business.
To be precise, it's about Pansy's boyfriend.
I originally thought that Pansy, the love brain, was completely devoted to her boyfriend.
As a result, that guy turned out to be Umbridge's lackey, which Pansy couldn't accept.
You know that Umbridge was pressured by all Slytherins, but you, a third-year student, surrendered to the enemy?
Pansy is freed from her love brain and is full of disappointment in her boyfriend.
John wanted to give Umbridge a thumbs up after hearing this. This guy can also be used to treat love brain, which is really amazing.
Anyway, Pansy and her boyfriend broke up.
"So... isn't this a good thing?" John looked at Daphne doubtfully, "Why is she crying?"
Daphne blinked and said, "Oh, that's because I used the Howling Curse."
John: "..."
Pansy: "I broke up with him. Yesterday I saw him sneaking around and holding a bottle of something."
"what is that?"
"A bottle of poison."
Pansy secretly took a drop and fed it to a mouse. The mouse died on the spot.
Daphne said seriously, "I doubt he's going to poison someone."
...
Some people died, but not completely...
