The Strongest Badger at Hogwarts

"Link Foley!"

Umbridge hissed like a viper.

Her toad-like face was distorted, and the venom and hatred in her voice had almost turned into substance.

For a long time, Link's constant targeting has already made Umbridge hate it.

Not to mention that Link injured a pair of inspectors in full view this morning, which dealt a big blow to the prestige of Umbridge himself and even the inspectors.

Umbridge originally didn't argue with Link immediately because he was busy recruiting inspectors, but he didn't expect Link to appear again at this moment.

As Link and the others continued to move forward, the inspectors around Umbridge began to retreat again and again.

After witnessing so many deeds of Link, not many people in Hogwarts are willing to stand against Link.

All this was seen by Umbridge.

She roared a little angrily:

"Stand firm for me! Are you afraid of what he will do!?"

It was said that the old inspectors transformed from volunteers stopped and retreated, and still lingered closely around Umbridge.

But panic and fear lingered on their faces, and even the hand holding the wand was trembling slightly.

As for the inspectors who were recruited today, they didn't even talk to Umbridge, and kept backing away.

A sneer appeared on Link's face upon hearing this.

Although there are a large number of inspectors in Umbridge right now, most of the new recruits have not been trained at all.

Such players can only be regarded as students with good strength, and their identities have not had time to transform into soldiers, so naturally they will not have much combat effectiveness.

Link, Emily and the others slowly stopped in front of Umbridge, and said to Umbridge and the inspectors around him:

"Trelawney doesn't have to leave Hogwarts."

As soon as Link said this, the crowd around him exclaimed.

Professor Trelawney, who was still in a coma just now, woke up strangely at this moment. She hurriedly pushed away Professor McGonagall who was holding her head, and said to Link with tears in her eyes:

"is this real?"

Link looked at Trelawney,

A bit of disgust flickered in his eyes.

He had already seen that Trelawney was pretending to be dizzy, or to be precise, pretending to be pitiful.

But disgust is disgust, but at this moment Link still said expressionlessly:

"Yes, Trelawney, you needn't worry about that."

"Oh? Really? Link Foley!" Umbridge took a few steps towards Link and said viciously, "Who approved this..."

Link looked at Umbridge without showing any weakness:

"I, the only school manager of Hogwarts, the sole heir of the Foley family, Link Foley."

"You? Oh! My Mr. Foley!" Umbridge let out an ugly laugh, "I'm afraid you forgot?"

Umbridge pulled out several rolls of parchment from his arms, and slowly spread it out, "I have a dismissal order signed by myself and the Minister of Magic. According to the "Education Order No. 23", Hogwarts The Chief Inquisitor has the power to inspect, keep for probation and dismiss any teacher who it deems does not meet the Ministry of Magic standards. I do not think Professor Trelawney is qualified. I have fired her!"

Hearing that Trelawney, who originally had hope rekindled in her eyes, lowered her head in disappointment.

Her chest was constantly heaving due to the violent panting, and she seemed to be about to faint again.

Many onlookers behind Link also looked disappointed.

In their view, Umbridge's actions were completely reasonable and legal, and even Link, a school board member, could not reject the Ministry of Magic's dismissal order.

But there was still no panic on Link's face.

Instead, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he said with a smile:

"You're right, Professor Umbridge.

As Hogwarts Inquisitor you certainly have the right to fire every professor at Hogwarts.

But I'm afraid you have no right to expel them from Hogwarts.

As the sole trustee of Hogwarts, I allow Trelawney to continue living in Hogwarts Castle. "

Hearing this, Umbridge and the surrounding inspectors were all stunned.

The entire foyer was quiet for a while, before Umbridge stared at Link with a strange look and said:

"You want to keep her in Hogwarts?

Like adopting a stray dog?

Do you really think this thing can be so simple?

Let me ask you, what are you going to do with her when I appoint a new divination teacher and need to use her room? "

"It's not a big problem." Link spread his hands and smiled, "In fact, I've found a new divination professor who is willing to live on the first floor.

Look! He has arrived! "

After speaking, Link hooked his finger, and the huge wooden door leading to the outside of the hall was instantly opened.

The night mist and the remnant snow of early spring rushed in, accompanied by a rush of horseshoes.

There were terrified murmurs in the hall, and those by the door hurried back further away, and some even tripped.

Under the terrified or curious gazes of everyone, a centaur with pale blond hair, bright blue eyes, and wearing a specially tailored linen jacket emerged from the mist.

"Salute to you, Lord Venus!"

The horseman saluted Link respectfully.

However, unlike ordinary centaur, this centaur's salute posture is more like a human's bowing salute.

Although it was extremely difficult to walk this way with the body of a centaur, he still managed it.

Link nodded in satisfaction, and then said:

"Let me introduce you!

This is Firenze!

I think you'll find him a good fit soon. "

There were not many cheers from the crowd, and everyone just gathered together and whispered.

Everyone is familiar with the creatures of the horse.

Whether it is the protection of magical animals class, Defense Against the Dark Arts class or the history of magic, there have been detailed introductions to the horsemen.

Some students who are used to sneaking into the Forbidden Forest have even negotiated with them at close range.

To be honest, everyone's perception of the horses is actually pretty good.

After all, the reputation of the "nature guardians" that the ancestors of the centaur made is really good.

It's just... Letting a centaur be a professor at Hogwarts is a bit of a breakthrough for the students' acceptance.

Umbridge, who was standing in front of Link, was about to go mad with anger. Her neat hair exploded at this moment, and she glared at Link and shouted angrily:

"You actually... actually let a centaur be the professor of divination at Hogwarts? You are so..."

Before Umbridge could finish his sentence, Trelawney next to him let out a more mournful cry:

"No... no! I'm leaving, I'm leaving... leaving Hogwarts! This is such a shame! I'm going to make a living elsewhere..."

Link's gaze suddenly turned to Trelawney.

This time, Link no longer concealed the deep disgust and beast-like malice in his eyes.

"Trelawney, are you serious?"

Link spoke slowly in a calm and indifferent tone.

The reason why he saved Trelawney was purely for the same attention as Dumbledore did—by taking in Trelawney as a tool to make others believe in the prophecy that Trelawney just said, And ultimately promote the realization of this prophecy.

By the way, he also wanted to hit Umbridge's prestige.

That's all.

If Trelawney dared to nod her head, he actually didn't mind exiling Trelawney and sending someone to control her halfway.

Anyway, all he needed was a tool like Trelawney.

As for whether this tool man lives in Hogwarts or a dungeon belonging to the Foley family, Link doesn't really care.

And perhaps sensing the coldness in Link's eyes, Trelawney shrank into Professor McGonagall's arms in fear, and said in a raving voice:

"I was wrong! I was wrong! I'm not going... I'm not going! I'm sorry!"

Link looked back with some regret.

Trelawney had left a bad impression on him, and to be honest he really wanted to see Trelawney suffer.

But that's okay, even if Trelawney escaped this time, there will be plenty of opportunities to make up for it later.

At the same time, Umbridge also recovered from the shock of being interrupted by Trelawney.

She first glared at Trelawney angrily, then turned to Link and said hurriedly:

"I must remind you, Link, as the only school manager of Hogwarts, you do have the right to expel professors and even the headmaster if you have clear evidence of malfeasance!

But that doesn't mean you also have the power to appoint professors!

According to "Education Decree No. 22"..."

"Ah, I know, I know," Link waved his hands impatiently, ""Education Decree No. 22 states that the Ministry of Magic has the right to appoint teachers.

But please note that there is a premise in front of this rule, that is, the Ministry of Magic has this power only if and only if the Headmaster cannot find a suitable candidate. "

Umbridge continued without showing any weakness:

"Even with such a premise limitation, as the top investigator of Hogwarts, I still have more power in this respect than you, the only school director!

And I think it fits that premise perfectly now!

Knowing that after Trelawney was dismissed, the students' divination classes will continue, we must immediately fill in a new professor.

Unfortunately, Dumbledore was not at Hogwarts at this time.

So I have every right to..."

"It's not actually true." Link interrupted again, "Stop struggling, Umbridge.

Let me emphasize to you again, Firenze is the best candidate for the divination teacher!

Do you think I'm right?

Professor Dumbledore! "

"What? Dumbledore? It's impossible..."

Umbridge was shocked when he heard the words, and started looking around.

And at the next moment, Dumbledore appeared on the stairs where Umbridge and others came.

He walked up and down the stairs at a steady and slow pace, and the inspectors who were still blocking the stairs along the way hurried out of the way.

Dumbledore walked slowly into the hall like this.

As he advanced, the shadows on the stairs receded from him like a veil, replaced by light.

His robe embroidered with gold thread reflected bright and soft light under the light, making his whole body shine.

"You're right, Link, Firenze is indeed the best candidate for the divination professor."

Dumbledore said with a smile.

It's just that the way he looked at Link was a little strange, and there was an inexplicable complexity in it.

Link looked at him from a distance, but said nothing, just nodded.

After a while,

The students in the entire auditorium and foyer cheered enthusiastically.

Many students are almost going to hoarse their voices.

They haven't seen their principal for months!

In contrast, Umbridge has entered a state of sluggishness.

He stared blankly at Dumbledore, then at Link, and said with trembling lips:

"You...you are all in the same group!

You unite and plot against me! "

"No one is counting on you, Umbridge," said Dumbledore, smiling, "in fact, if you had done nothing, such a thing would not have happened.

In fact, we can live together in peace.

do you think so? "

Dumbledore looked at Professor McGonagall and Trelawney, who had been numb by the ups and downs, and said:

"Will you take Sybil upstairs, Professor McGonagall?"

"Of course," said Meg, "go upstairs, Sybil..."

Professor Sprout rushed up and took Professor Trelawney's other arm.

They led her past Umbridge and up the marble stairs.

Professor Flitwick chased after him with his wand raised, and with the wave of his wand, Trelawney's box floated behind him and followed him upstairs.

Umbridge was at a loss for words.

She looked around and saw that the newly recruited inspectors were also cheering, and her eyes were instantly covered with a haze that could not be erased.

After trying his best to engrave all the smiling faces and the expressions of Dumbledore and Link in his mind at this moment, Umbridge waved his arms one after another, and led the old inspectors away angrily.

This move of hers made the cheers in the foyer and auditorium even louder.

Especially the professors of those side courses.

They don't have the strength and background of Professor McGonagall and Professor Snape.

They lived in the horror of Umbridge's intense scrutiny during Dumbledore's absence.

And this kind of pressure reached its peak the moment Trelawney was pulled out.

Fortunately, Dumbledore finally returned.

From now on, they can finally raise their heads and be human.

"Link! You're amazing!"

"Yeah Link! You were awesome just now!"

"You're the hero! Really, Link!"

The Harry trio also approached Link at this time, talking to Link excitedly.

From their point of view, Link couldn't bear to see Trelawney's tragic experience before, coupled with their entreaties, he made the move.

Link, this is standard hard-talking and soft-hearted!

However, at this moment, Link didn't have much thought to deal with them.

He just smiled politely at the three of Harry, and then continued to look at Dumbledore like Emily, Cedric and John.

Unlike the others, the four of them didn't have any smiles on their faces.
