Hogwarts: Harley from The Witch Way - Chapter 408
c392 Happy 100th Century to Pink Toad and Secretary Fudge
Tonight’s Halloween hall decoration was extremely perfunctory. Professor McGonagall conjured up a few fake jack-o’-lanterns to hang on the ceiling, while Professor Flitwick used magic to create a bunch of suspended skulls and bats.
It can only be said that the professors at Hogwarts still rely too much on Hagrid. Without Hagrid, everyone suddenly doesn’t know how to decorate the festival.
The auditorium was very perfunctory, but the students dressed up extremely seriously.
When Harry and Hermione finished putting on their makeup and rushed to the auditorium, the auditorium was already filled with demons and demons.
The little wizards gave full play to their imagination and dressed up as various monsters and monsters.
Thanks to the Six Wizards Tournament that had just been held a year ago, in addition to the competition between the warriors, the foreign wizards who were not selected also had many exchanges with the students of Hogwarts.
Therefore, there are not many students who choose to dress up as traditional vampires or ghosts. Instead, many monsters from the country where the magic house is located have become the students’ choices.
And what is unexpected is that the portraits of Professor Snape hanging in the classroom are actually the favorite makeup templates of young wizards.
After getting over the initial discomfort, the little wizards suddenly discovered that the miserable wizards in these portraits were perfect imitations, weren’t they?
As a result, extremely miserable decorations were created. The professors frowned while looking at them, but the students felt good about themselves.
However, Harley seriously doubted that some of the students who were trying to use magic to make up were trying to commit suicide.
Looking around, she saw at least ten cases where she had applied transformation spells on herself, but the transformation spells failed.
These students probably haven’t realized the seriousness of the matter yet, but they still look cheerful, showing off their novel costumes with their friends.
But when they returned to the dormitory and tried to remove the magic from their bodies… tsk tsk tsk, Harry couldn’t even imagine how miserable that scene would be.
Harley only put on a little makeup today and made a cameo appearance as her counterpart, the famous leader of the Assassin sect, the Old Man of the Mountain.
She put on a black robe and wore the fairy dagger usually hidden in her sleeves at her waist. Her long black hair was pulled into a bun and fixed with a silver hairpin. The end of the silver hairpin was a flaming figure. Little skeleton.
Harley also wore a silver skull mask that covered her entire face, and long blue flames were rising from her eye sockets.
This made Professor Snape frown at the teacher’s desk. Damn it, don’t Lily’s green eyes look good? It has to be fancy blue flames!
Out of sight, out of mind, Harley was still wearing a mask anyway, so she didn’t reveal the face she inherited from Lily.
So Professor Snape chose to avert his eyes and sulked secretly.
Hermione, on the other hand, was focused on studying and didn’t prepare in advance at all, so she dressed up in a perfunctory manner.
She changed into a robe of the same style as Harley, wore a beak mask on her face, and carried an old lantern conjured by transfiguration in her hand, making a guest appearance as a beak doctor in the Middle Ages.
As soon as the two sat down, two ghosts in white coats approached them.
“Does Peeves know that you two are doing this?” Harry heard the moving sounds and knew that these ghosts were the Weasley twins.
She looked at their outfits with interest and asked with a wicked smile,
“If he notices your image, you will suffer a lot in the coming semester.”
Fred and George sewed white robes and sheets together and transformed them.
So the two of them looked like normal ghosts, but their heads were larger than usual——
The cloth on the head was magically formed into Peeves’ facial features, and only two holes were dug out for the eyes so that Fred and George could see outside.
“How is that possible?” Fred snapped his fingers, “He has given us permission to use his image.”
“In exchange, we generously gave Peeves a toad biscuit so that he could prank Umbridge.”
George said proudly,
“Anyway, this is a prank prop that Peeves asked us for. He said he wanted to give Umbridge a welcome ceremony.”
“It has nothing to do with us!”
…………
The auditorium was quickly filled up, and all the teachers were in place. Even Professor Trelawney, who rarely left the attic, rarely took a step to come down for a walk.
In fact, she didn’t really think about this Halloween. After all, Professor Trelawney was famous for being a sociopath.
But it’s no good if she doesn’t come down now. If Umbridge really fires her, Trelawney will feel like she has no place to cry.
For the sake of his own future, Professor Trelawney decided to come down and refresh his sense of existence, at least to make Principal Dumbledore aware of his existence.
Currently, there is only one person in the entire Hogwarts who has not arrived, and that is Umbridge.
But no one cares about this, after all, pink toads are not popular.
If she doesn’t come, everyone will feel less nauseated and their appetite will increase. What a wonderful thing.
Professor Dumbledore didn’t pay attention and directly announced the start of the dinner.
The food was as delicious as ever this year and the activities were so much fun.
Professor Slughorn proactively proposed several interesting activities, and Professor Dumbledore hit it off with him.
Perhaps because he felt that Dumbledore had been too tired recently, Professor McGonagall did not elaborately refute and acquiesced to these activities.
Everyone was very happy, and there was laughter and laughter everywhere, but the happiness did not last long.
In the middle of the banquet, the door to the auditorium was suddenly opened, and Umbridge walked in with a smile on her face in the cold wind.
Probably in order to coordinate with the Halloween activities, she put on the cat earmuffs that are often distributed in Muggle amusement parks, and also wore a pink cat costume.
This made Professor McGonagall’s face change drastically, and she almost threw a curse.
To coincide with the event today, she also dressed up as a giant tabby cat! nausea!
Umbridge was in an extremely happy mood now.
She just went to Hogsmeade to send a letter to Fudge to report on her work, saying that she had been working hard for a while and was about to fire a professor who was personally recruited by Dumbledore.
Of course, judging from the recent political trends in the Ministry of Magic, Fudge will probably be laid off in the next few days. It is hard to say whether he can wait until he fires Trelawney.
If Fudge really steps down early, he can also cancel the punishment without offending both parties.
Umbridge thought she had played a good hand, so she was all smiles.
After noticing that her appearance attracted everyone’s attention, her toad face turned into a blooming chrysanthemum.
In order to show that she was close to the people, she also thoughtfully patted the head of the little Hufflepuff wizard next to her who had just sneezed several times, and told him to wear thicker clothes and keep warm.
The little wizard’s face was full of sorrow. If you hadn’t suddenly opened the door of the auditorium, would I have been blown by the cold wind and sneezed several times?
And you pink toad, where do you take pictures? Help, I’m not clean anymore!
Umbridge put on a show, then strode onto the teacher’s bench.
“I’m so sorry, dear Professor Dumbledore.” Umbridge said sweetly, holding her voice.
“I had something to do before, so I couldn’t come to the Halloween dinner as soon as possible.”
“It doesn’t matter.” Professor Dumbledore remained calm and nodded towards Umbridge.
“You are very welcome to join me. I was just telling a traditional joke with Minerva, and you are welcome to listen.”
The smile on Umbridge’s face suddenly couldn’t be maintained.
After all, she also stayed at Hogwarts for two months. Although Dumbledore rarely came to school during this time, Umbridge still learned Professor Dumbledore’s classic and old-fashioned jokes.
The joke was so cold that even Professor Flitwick, who had the lowest point of laughter, could only barely laugh twice.
“I’m very sorry, Headmaster Dumbledore. I really wanted to hear your jokes, but you are too popular and there are so many people sitting around you that I may not have the chance to hear them.”
Umbridge said quickly, while trying to walk to the end of the teacher’s desk.
But Professor Flitwick, who was on the other side of Professor Dumbledore, took the lead and jumped down from his chair. At the same time, he snapped his fingers and levitated his plate, cutlery and forks:
“Oh, Ms. Umbridge, since you like hearing Professor Dumbledore’s jokes so much, I must give you this opportunity.”
“It just so happens that I want to talk to Professor Babling about those ancient spells, so this position is reserved for you.”
With that said, Professor Flitwick slipped away in a flash, leaving Umbridge alone in a mess.
It took Umbridge a long time to come to her senses, and she glanced viciously at Flitwick, who was already sitting next to Professor Barbling, and gritted her teeth angrily.
She already hated hybrids like half-blood goblins and half-blood giants, but now she hated these inhuman things even more!
When Voldemort rules the British wizarding world, he will definitely become the Minister of Magic. When the time comes, she must enact laws to eliminate all these dirty mixed-race things!
However, her anger could not be expressed easily yet, so Umbridge still sat on the empty seat left by Flitwick, while barely maintaining a smile, ready to listen to Professor Dumbledore’s cold jokes that could freeze people to death.
While listening, she had to clap and laugh in harmony.
While Professor Dumbledore was drinking honey pumpkin juice, Umbridge hurriedly asked for something to eat. After all, she was really hungry.
Just as a large plate of freshly baked biscuits appeared in front of the table, Umbridge picked up the top piece without even thinking about it.
“These cookies are so delicious.”
Umbridge took a big bite, narrowed her eyes, sighed sweetly, and stuffed the rest of the biscuits into her mouth.
“Oh? Really?” Professor Dumbledore also picked up a piece with interest, “Let me try the skills of the house elves.”
Time passed and the dinner party soon came to an end.
Professor Dumbledore wanted to declare the dinner over after the ghosts performed a song called “The Music of Death”, which brought an even more spooky atmosphere to Halloween.
But his expression suddenly changed slightly, and a ball of fire appeared in his hand placed under the table, and an extra feather appeared.
“Sorry, I have to keep you company for a while.” Professor Dumbledore said softly, while winking at Professor McGonagall.
Professor McGonagall instantly understood what Professor Dumbledore meant and nodded calmly.
Umbridge looked at the small movements between the two and couldn’t help but narrowed her eyes.
However, considering her current status, it was not easy for her to ask.
The students did not notice Dumbledore’s departure, and everyone was still discussing whether the previous music could be more underworld and more in line with the Halloween atmosphere.
At this time, Professor McGonagall stood up and gently tapped her throat with her wand:
“I believe everyone enjoyed a wonderful Halloween dinner, but the fun is always short-lived.”
“I want to announce…”
Professor McGonagall was just about to announce the end of this year’s Halloween dinner. Before her words left her mouth, she was replaced by a loud frog croaking.
She looked angrily at the source of the sound and saw Umbridge sitting there.
Umbridge also looked at her hands in horror. At this time, her hands were already covered with pink bumps.
She swelled suddenly, and her entire figure swelled.
Ululiki’s head also turned into a pink toad’s head, and webbed feet grew between the fingers of his hands.
However, her body still retains a human body, but the skin under the pink clothes has turned into pink and smooth skin covered with pimples like a toad.
Umbridge screamed in horror, and her screams were mixed with “croaking” sounds.
A bag of sweets fell to the floor, Umbridge’s last snack.
In order to build relationships, Umbridge has always boasted that she has the blood of the Selwyn family.
The magical candy shop run by the Selwyn family in Diagon Alley has always been a regular source of dessert for Umbridge.
A small hand quietly grew out of the ground and threw a half-bitten chocolate into the candy bag.
Of course no one noticed this scene, everyone was paying attention to Umbridge.
It’s a pity that the feeling brought to Umbridge by the spotlight this time is not as good as the last time.
“I’m going to St. Mungo’s Hospital for Magical Maladies and Maladies…”
Umbridge screamed and tried to run towards the side door of the Great Hall.
But after running a few steps, her eyes suddenly became blurry.
Umbridge suddenly forgot what happened to her and what kind of environment she was surrounded by.
She only felt that the surrounding environment had changed, turning pink, with hearts floating in it.
At the same time, a man suddenly appeared in front of Umbridge, her current boss, Fudge, the British Minister of Magic.
“Minister Fudge…”
Although she didn’t know what happened, Umbridge immediately put on a flattering expression skillfully.
Unfortunately, something seemed wrong. As soon as she spoke, she suddenly felt that she had fallen deeply in love with the man in front of her.
Although the man in front of me is fat and short, with a shiny face and sparse hair, he has always been the type he hates the most;
Although I like fair and tender little boys, preferably older boys with green faces, fair skin, and very gentle speech, like Cedric of Hufflepuff is my favorite type;
But sometimes, fate is so wonderful, isn’t it?
Love appeared in Umbridge’s eyes, and she couldn’t control herself and rushed forward, hugging Fudge with all her strength, holding her throat with all her strength, and said in the most sweet and disgusting voice:
“Minister Fudge, I think I have fallen deeply in love with you, everything about you, everything about you, everything about you…”
Obviously, Umbridge’s literary skills are not very good, and she can only repeat these few sentences.
But Fudge hugged Umbridge tenderly and said tenderly: “Oh, I love you too, dear Dolores.”
“You know what? I transferred you to me as Senior Undersecretary of the Ministry of Magic just to be closer to you.”
“Really?!” Umbridge’s surprised and loud voice echoed in the pink world,
“Minister Fudge, you promoted me and asked me to serve as Senior Undersecretary of the Ministry of Magic by your side. Was it because you wanted to be closer to me?”
“I knew that the love between you and me is so sincere, ah, I am so happy!”
With that said, Umbridge closed her eyes and pouted, waiting for Fudge’s next move.
It’s a pity that she waited for a long time, her mouth was numb, but she still didn’t get the scene she imagined.
Umbridge opened her eyes dissatisfied, wanting to see what her new lover was doing.
But she was startled as soon as she opened her eyes. She didn’t know when the person in her arms had become her master.
Voldemort looked at him coldly, and the two narrow nostrils were also facing him, which startled Umbridge.
Umbridge hurriedly knelt on the ground, her fat body hunched up, like a real toad.
“Master, my respected master, please forgive me for being disrespectful!”
As she spoke, she kowtowed repeatedly and wriggled forward, wanting to lick Voldemort’s shoes.
Voldemort said nothing, but raised his wand: “Cruciato!”
Red light spurted out from between the wands, hitting Umbridge.
Umbridge suddenly broke out in a cold sweat and trembled all over.
If it were another situation, she would probably scream and curse, and at the same time, roll on the ground a few more times.
But considering that the user of the Cruciatus Curse was Voldemort, Umbridge not only did not dare to scream, but also suppressed her weakness and pain to thank Voldemort loudly:
“Thank you Master for the punishment! Thank you great Master!”
Strangely enough, usually after being tortured by the Cruciatus Curse for a minute or two, he would become completely weak and collapse to the ground.
But now, Umbridge had been wailing for a full ten minutes, and she still felt that there was endless strength all over her body.
She noticed this keenly and suddenly became confused.
At this time, Umbridge felt someone tapping her shoulder, and she suddenly became furious.
Now the Dark Lord is punishing himself. Who dares to interfere with the Dark Lord’s interest? If others want to die, don’t harm yourself!
And Umbridge subconsciously blurted out her thoughts: “Get away! Don’t you see that the greatest master is punishing me!”
She clearly felt the hand on her shoulder disappear. Just as she was rejoicing, she heard a voice say coldly:
“In that case, let’s not disturb Umbridge’s elegance as Senior Under-Minister of Magic.”
“I wish Umbridge and Minister Fudge a happy marriage!”
