The Strongest Badger at Hogwarts

The noise was getting louder and clearer.

It seemed to be the scream of a woman or a female ghost.

It's just that in a place like Hogwarts, what would happen to cause a woman (ghost) to cry like that?

Link and Cedric carefully identified the source of the sound, got up and walked towards the hall at the same time.

At this time, it was a critical moment when the dinner time was approaching. Among the many students waiting for dinner in the auditorium, there were not a few who were as curious about this matter as they were.

They whispered and formed a circle around the hallway and stairwell. Some people looked shocked, some even looked panicked, but more people were gloating at their misfortune.

The only person on the scene with a lonely expression was Professor McGonagall.

She stood directly opposite Link and Cedric, and seemed to feel very uncomfortable with the scene in front of her.

Link and Cedric made their way through the crowd with the help of a kind of Hufflepuff.

It was not until this time that they saw the real source of the scream.

Hogwarts Divination Professor - Sybill Trelawney.

At this moment, she was holding a magic wand in one hand and an empty wine bottle in the other, threatening to wave it twice from time to time, and then wrapped herself tightly around a pillar with both hands and feet.

Her hair was all up on end, and her glasses were askew, making one eye appear much larger than the other.

What she should be proud of usually, those countless scarves and shawls were hung up in a mess, making people feel that she is all tattered.

At her feet, several large suitcases stood crookedly.

The edges and chassis wheels of these large boxes were damaged to varying degrees, and the traces seemed to be brand new, as if they had just been dropped from upstairs.

And it is true.

Because the next moment, a small cowhide case was thrown down and hit the ground with a loud 'boom'.

Professor Trelawney seemed startled by the sound, curled up on the pillar and screamed:

"No! This can't happen...impossible...I refuse to accept...Dumbledore promised me!"

"Did you not expect this to happen?"

A disgusting clip sound came from the place where the cowhide box flew down just now,

Everyone heard the reputation and saw Umbridge slowly walking up the stairs surrounded by a group of inspectors, "Although you liar can't even predict tomorrow's weather.

Can be regarded as a person with a normal IQ.

You should be aware that your poor performance in my class and no improvement since then will inevitably get you fired? "

"No—you can't! I've lived here for 16 years! Hogwarts is my home!"

Professor Trelawney screamed hysterically and waved her arms back and forth at the same time, as if trying to increase the credibility and persuasiveness of her words.

But what she didn't notice was that the arm she used to swing was also holding a wand.

The faces of the inspectors who surrounded Umbridge on the stairs changed instantly when they saw this.

A small group of them quickly pulled Umbridge to the rear of the line, and erected a protective wall with all the protection spells.

The rest of the team members raised their wands in unison.

"Disarm you—"

Amidst a burst of uniform chanting, Professor Trelawney was completely overwhelmed by the red light, and his whole body was slammed against the wall, before bouncing back to the ground.

The huge impact obviously injured her internal organs and bones.

After landing, she barely raised her upper body, as if she wanted to say something.

But just as he opened his mouth, a mouthful of blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth, mixing with the dust on his face, forming a disgusting black-red color.

The crowd around screamed.

Everyone couldn't understand why these inspectors had to play such a heavy hand.

You must know that Professor Trelawney didn't have much attack intention at all just now.

But the inspectors who had done all this still did not relax their vigilance.

The red light on the tips of their sticks not only did not dissipate, but became even brighter.

The most important thing is that the aim of the tips of their sticks is still vaguely aimed at the crowd of onlookers.

This is actually a very understandable thing.

After all, a team of inspectors was sent to the infirmary just this morning.

"Tsk tsk tsk, I bet she has at least 3 broken ribs, and one of them seems to be pierced into the internal organs, what a poor guy."

John came over at some point, and said, "You can trust me on this point, I just finished learning first aid with Madam Pomfrey!"

Hearing this, Link and Cedric turned to look at John at the same time.

Among them, Link asked puzzledly:

"What do you learn that thing for?"

John glared at Link and said:

"Because Professor McGonagall didn't dare to punish you! So the blame for the gang fight incident in the morning was thrown at me.

And Madam Pomfrey felt compelled to get some punishment from me, the one who caused her to increase her workload so much.

Ever since, I was forced to learn practical healing techniques for a whole day, and I was not released until now!

Oh, God! You can't guess how many frostbites I've dealt with today!

Those wounds are already starting to fester!

Link, you are too dark! "

Hearing this, both Link and Cedric couldn't help laughing, and it wasn't until John punched him that Link couldn't hold back his smile and said:

"It's not really my fault to be honest.

And I have bad news for you.

Dinner tonight seems to be a bacon stew.

You should have seen it, right? After the thing was stewed, it looked almost the same as a frostbitten wound. "

John's face changed, and he covered his mouth instantly and said:

"Oh! God!"

Seeing this, Link and the others laughed again.

Hermione on the side finally couldn't bear it anymore.

She yelled at Cedric and John angrily:

"Can't you be a little sympathetic? Professor Trelawney was beaten and vomited blood!"

Hearing that the smiles on the faces of Link, Cedric, and John gradually disappeared, they looked at each other, and then Link opened his hands to Hermione:

"What does this have to do with us?"

"Why doesn't it matter?" Hermione continued, "She's our professor..."

"I want to correct you!" John interrupted repeatedly waving his hands, "She's just a foreign professor at Hogwarts, not mine. The little stories about my own bad luck can be mixed into credit courses."

Hearing this, Harry and Ron beside them touched their noses in embarrassment.

The reason they chose the divination class was exactly the same as what John had just described.

Fortunately, he didn't care about their reactions at this time. Seeing that Hermione was still angry, Link continued:

"What's the matter? Hermione, I remember you had a bad fight with Trelawney before?"

"That's right, but Umbridge is going to kick Professor Trelawney out this time!" Hermione said, scratching her hair, "Professor Trelawney doesn't have any savings at all." , and now he has suffered such a serious injury, if he is kicked out like this, he will die!"

"That was her own fault, too."

Cedric retorted, "Hermione, you probably don't know? The reason why Trelawney has no savings is because she spent all the money on wine!

You just have to go to her house in the attic above the Divination classroom, it's almost full of wine bottles!

Many times when you go to her divination class, the reason why she looks dazed and staring is because she is drunk!

A professor who gets drunk even in class, I think should have been fired a long time ago! "

After Cedric finished speaking, he pointed to the wine bottle that Trelawney still refused to let go even after being so severely injured.

Hermione noticed this too, and she hung her head, speechless.

"I don't agree with you!" Harry said suddenly, "Professor Trelawney was recruited by Dumbledore, and Dumbledore allowed her to live at Hogwarts.

I don't think Dumbledore is ignorant of Professor Trelawney's habits.

And if he knew, he didn't drive away Professor Trelawney.

There must be a special reason that we don't know.

This is not something you can deny with just a few words! "

Harry stared at Cedric, piercingly, and Cedric looked back at Harry, his eyes narrowed.

The atmosphere between them began to become more and more anxious.

I also knew that at this time, other people around me rang.

The two had had a bad fight before, but that conflict was interrupted by the sudden Trelawney incident.

Now, Harry obviously wanted to continue the previous topic.

Link shook his head helplessly.

Cedric obviously discovered Harry's thoughts on Qiu Zhang, which made him so aggressive.

Otherwise, according to Cedric's gentle temper, he wouldn't care too much about an emotional kid like Harry.

What Link really couldn't understand was, where did Harry get the confidence that made him dare to stand up to Cedric like this?

Cedric is second only to Link in Hufflepuff College.

Compared with the original book, this may appear to be weakened at first glance, but in fact, due to the existence of Link, Cedric, who has successfully survived until now, has undergone a qualitative change in terms of influence and personal strength.

Such a popular figure on campus was no longer something a 'savior' like Harry could contend with.

What's more, the reason why Dumbledore would allow Trelawney to dawdle in Hogwarts like this.

The reason is still Harry's sake.

If Harry knew the truth, don't talk about protecting Trelawney, he would probably want to go down with a thunderbolt and blow Trelawney's head off, right?

Sighing, Link finally said before the scene became more difficult to end:

"Okay, stop dwelling on this topic.

Tell us some one, how did Trelawney and Umbridge get into the way they are now? "

Hearing that Harry and Hermione looked at each other in blank dismay, after a while, Ron flinched and raised his hand as if speaking in class:

"I think it might be because Trelawney likes to make some predictions.

This is actually a very common thing. Almost every one of us who has taken a divination class has been predicted by Trelawney to die soon.

For example, Harry, the liar Trelawney said at the time that he would encounter misfortune, and said that the black dog was an omen of his death.

But what happened?

Is Harry still fine?

Other people whom she predicted are also fine.

So let's say..."

"Get to the point!"

John clicked his ears impatiently and said.

This behavior drew Harry's angry eyes, but John didn't care.

Ron shrank his neck in fright, and hurried forward to grab Harry who was still about to say something.

You must know that after appreciating the charm of the M.O.M.H.L factory, Ron completely turned into a pure laborer, struggling hard.

I can't wait to spend 24 hours a day in the factory to make money.

And John happened to be the manager of the M.O.M.H.L factory. It would be strange for Ron not to be afraid of John.

After calming down, Ron hurriedly continued:

"The point is that Umbridge audited Trelawney's class when he first served as Hogwarts Examiner.

The result was of course very dissatisfied, so Umbridge scolded Trelawney severely and issued a stern warning.

Trelawney has held a grudge against Umbridge ever since.

At first, perhaps because of Umbridge's popularity, Trelawney only dared to spend her thoughts there alone.

But recently... she has become bolder. "

"So," said Link, "Trelawney made up an unfortunate prophecy for Umbridge?"

Ron gloated a little and said:

"To be precise, did Trelawney mean that Umbridge would be imprisoned in Azkaban, or the cells with the strictest security level in Azkaban. I guess she specified It's too much to drink."

As soon as this remark came out, John, Cedric, and most of the other students beside him laughed.

In such a huge Hogwarts, there are really not many people who like Trelawney.

After all, no one likes to be cursed with misfortune every day.

In particular, Trelawney is also particularly keen on letting students curse themselves-such prophetic stories always get high marks in her exams.

But unlike the others, Link wasn't smiling.

On the contrary, the expression on his face was extremely serious.

Because he hates Umbridge too much, he will remember the plot about Umbridge very clearly.

In the original book, Umbridge's final fate was indeed sentenced to life imprisonment and locked in a cell with the highest security level in Azkaban.

Such a thing, combined with Trelawney's identity as a professor of divination, it's hard not to let people's imagination run wild.

And just when Link was full of doubts, the inspectors on the stairs seemed to finally confirm that the crowd below was not a threat.

They slowly spread out to both sides, and finally revealed Umbridge who was hiding in the center of the team.
