Chapter 629 Hermione: Maybe We Can Get Another Sparring Partner
Over the next few days, Umbridge's mood improved significantly, and she seemed to have regained the arrogance she had at the beginning of school.
Of course, no matter whether she was in a good or bad mood, she was still annoying.
However, Umbridge's good mood did not last long. A few days later, she returned to the same irritable state after the attack, and even tended to get worse...
She wanders around the castle like a ghost every day, and if she sees anything that doesn't suit her liking, Umbridge will deduct points and be imprisoned.
Of course, Umbridge's favorite corporal torture project is also indispensable - she makes the students who make mistakes use a special quill to write on parchment, and the ink is the student's own blood.
After a night of confinement, deep scars will be carved on the backs of the punished students' hands - those are the words written by the students when they were punished.
"What the hell is this old witch so crazy about?!" George and Fred covered the backs of their hands and ran to Fish for help with grinning teeth.
This was not the first time they had come here. Besides them, many other students had come to see Fish. They were all the unlucky ones who were unfortunately caught and imprisoned by Umbridge after they found a small mistake.
McGonagall, Sprout and other professors also came forward to protest to Umbridge, but she was dismissed by her as a senior investigator. And not long after, the Ministry of Magic issued "Education Order No. 26", further expanding the rights of Umbridge, the senior investigator.
Umbridge's sudden sudden change was entirely due to a misunderstanding in the Care of Magical Creatures class. After she left, she quickly wrote a letter to Fudge about her guess.
When Fudge learned that the pure-blood family he had been winning over for a long time seemed to be moving closer to Dumbledore, he immediately panicked. However, he did not dare to question them directly, so he could only send people to investigate secretly.
The natural result was an investigation into loneliness.
Feeling that he had been deceived, Fudge immediately sent a snarling letter to Umbridge, in which he scolded Umbridge and once again emphasized that if she could not find any valid information, then the magic The Ministry is about to start investigating all the evil deeds she has done before.
That's why Umbridge becomes more and more anxious, so anxious that she needs to torture students to make herself feel better.
"Actually... this is not all a bad thing." George touched the back of his hand that had been treated by Fisch and showed a sly smile, "Recently, students have come to us to buy skipping candies."
I originally thought that the product I had spent a lot of effort and money to develop would be unsaleable, but who would have thought that it would take a turn for the worse. Umbridge's actions reminded everyone of the twins' product again.
Hermione rolled her eyes and said, "Other professors can easily solve your problem of skipping classes."
"I don't think that old witch Umbridge has such strength," Fred curled his lips and said confidently: "We once asked her a question in class that was probably at the third or fourth grade level. She couldn’t even answer.”
"That's right, Meow," Fish also echoed: "Umbridge is very weak, probably about the same as Colin and Neville a month ago."

Neville has made great progress in recent times and has gradually begun to catch up with Ron, Seamus and others in the same grade. Colin Creevey, Harry's ardent fan, is a cat due to his age and talent. One of the least powerful members in the club.
In other words, in Fish's opinion, if nothing unexpected happens, most members of the Cat Club can defeat Umbridge.
What happened was just as Fish and the twins expected. After a few students used truant candies without Umbridge noticing the problem, the stock of truant candies in the hands of the twins was sold out instantly, and then when it was time for the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, A large number of students have experienced symptoms such as coma, vomiting, dangerously high fever, or blood spurting from both nostrils at the same time.
No matter how stupid Umbridge is, she knows that they must have done something, but with her level of magic, she can't find the problem at all. She has put several classes in solitary confinement without figuring out their secrets.
But Umbridge did not give up easily. Although she no longer confined students for this reason, she was frantically tracing the source of these mysterious symptoms.
Because she suddenly remembered that she seemed to have similar symptoms after being attacked, but she was focused on being turned into a toad and the dark mark, and ignored this problem.
"Umbridge is probably really crazy..."
At a gathering of the Cat Club, Cedric rubbed his forehead and said distressedly: “She’s been really strict in checking recently. When we come to gatherings, it’s getting harder and harder to avoid her completely. "
Since Umbridge has recently been busy tracing the root cause of "Umbridge Syndrome", she has been patrolling the castle more frequently. The Cat Club has had people fail to arrive on time several times in order to avoid her. In the Room of Requirement, there was even a situation where someone was almost caught by Umbridge near the eighth floor.
Originally, Umbridge was more focused on Gryffindor, and since she failed that time, Umbridge stayed on the eighth floor longer.
"So, we need to adjust our study plan a little bit." Hermione also noticed this situation and had already thought of a solution. She looked around and didn't continue to keep the secret. She raised her chin and said: "In the next period of time, we will mainly practice the Disillusionment Charm, the Invisibility Charm and the Silencing Charm..."
"Of course, if you have an invisibility cloak, you don't have to practice the Disillusionment Charm or the Invisibility Charm, but you still have to practice the Silencing Charm." She glanced at Harry and added.
"Oh, damn!" Fred slapped his forehead and suddenly complained loudly, "We should continue to develop the headless hat, George!"
"Don't be funny, Fred." George curled his lips and said, "I still say that, with the money and time, we might as well just import a batch of invisible cloaks to sell."
Except for the twins who were still joking, no one else had any opinion on Hermione's proposal, but...
"Where is Fish?" Parvati asked with a frown, "He has not come to the Cat Club's gathering for three consecutive times."
Many girls joined the Cat Club because they came to pet cats. Although no one wants to quit now, Fish's sudden absence will still make them feel dissatisfied...
How can the Cat Club be without cats!
"Uh... this..." Hermione scratched her hair in distress, and then explained vaguely: "Fisch has something to deal with. After he finishes, maybe we will have another sparring partner."
"Sparring?" Dean Thomas's face changed slightly, and asked: "Is it not the same kind of Lu Wei?"
During this period of time, the Cat Club has experienced several special events, and the most recent one, due to Zacharias Smith's inflated speech, Fisch asked Lu Wei to go down and fight with them once...
The result was naturally without any suspense. With Lu Wei holding back, the members of the Cat Club held out for about three minutes before being wiped out, but during this period they were completely like Lu Wei's toys, and there was no hope of winning at all. So although none of them were injured, the psychological trauma was not small at all.
And Zacharias Smith, who caused this incident, was hung on a tree by other members of the Cat Club for half an hour afterwards.
"No, no," Hermione waved her hand and said, "He is much weaker than Lu Wei."
The three-headed dog is far superior to the giant in terms of strength, speed, and resistance to magic. In a one-on-one fight, let alone Grawp, even the current leader of the giants, Gogoma, would not be a match for Fluffy.
So...
Hermione did not lie at all.
