Chapter 341 Punishment and Resignation

Nan Shan Dou Xi
"Dumbledore."
Umbridge opened his eyes slowly.
Professor McGonagall called Dumbledore, her stern expression was distressed, and she went to check on the students.
Dumbledore walked in calmly and asked, "Investigator Umbridge, I don't know what my students have done to deserve punishment here?"
"They violated the education order and assembled to create a... Dumbledore's Army, didn't they?" Umbridge asked the Slytherin next to him.
If Pansy were here, she would recognize her studious boyfriend.
"No, she's talking nonsense!" George protested loudly.
Fred also yelled: "We didn't do anything, she was talking shit."
"Really?" Umbridge smiled hideously, and said to Dumbledore, "I have told Minister Crouch about the matter, he is very interested in winning Dumbledore's Army, and he is already here On the way."
"Then please allow us to change places to receive our Minister Crouch." Dumbledore replied calmly for thousands of years.
Umbridge was out to bring down Dumbledore, the rest was secondary.
So she took Harry with her to Dumbledore's headmaster's office.
Harry was taken to the headmaster's office, and he wanted to talk to Dumbledore several times, but he looked away.
Before they arrived, someone was already outside the office.
It was Old Batty and the others, and he brought two Aurors with him.
One of them was Kingsley, whom Batty Sr. seemed to trust.
"Barty." Dumbledore greeted him.
Old Batty said with an ugly face, "I heard from the investigator that you want to form an army at the school?"
For other things, Batty Sr. would definitely let Umbridge play tricks on his own.
But this time, Umbridge told him that Dumbledore was organizing an army at the school, which made old Barty couldn't sit still.
Entering the office, old Batty's face was not much better.
"Dumbledore, I need to tell you," Barty said after coming to the office, "Although you have stepped down as the chief wizard of the Wizengamot, you still need to abide by the law."
"What will you make those students' parents think?" Old Batty accused Dumbledore.
Afraid of Dumbledore's sophistry, Umbridge stepped forward and said obsequiously: "Minister Crouch, I have received a report and discovered this behavior. Do you need me to bring out the witness?"
It seems that Umbridge is also fully prepared, and Old Batty has nothing to do with it.
Umbridge went out for a while, and came back with a girl covering her face.
Harry recognized the girl as Cho Chang's friend, Marietta.
It's just that her face became very ugly, a series of dense purple pustules formed the word 'informant' on her face.
Harry immediately remembered that Hermione had tampered with the original signature.
Umbridge recounted the whistleblowing process, much to Harry's ire.
"Shut up," old Barty interrupted Umbridge, staring at Marietta, and said strangely, "Why doesn't she talk?"
"I haven't found a cure for this yet," Umbridge admitted reluctantly.
Harry felt a surge of pride at this, Hermione's spell ability was very powerful.
Umbridge saw the signs of old Barty's black face, and hurriedly said, "The No. 20 No. [-] education order has been implemented for nearly six months, and gatherings during this period are illegal."
"Well," said Dumbledore, eyeing Umbridge with polite interest, "if they do continue to meet after the Act comes into force, 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 gathering later?"
As Harry heard Dumbledore speak, he heard a rustle behind him and Kingsley muttering something under his breath.
A brief moment of confusion appeared in Marietta's eyes.
Umbridge naturally had evidence. Although he couldn't make Marietta speak, he could make her nod.
But the facts were unexpected, and the informant Marietta denied all of this.
Professor McGonagall was also here, taking part in the questioning.
It turned out that Harry suspected that what Kingsley had muttered just now was some kind of spell.
Let Marietta answer in reverse.
In a fit of anger, Umbridge violently turned Marietta around and shook her violently.
For the first time, Dumbledore scowled, and Umbridge let go of Marietta, waving his hands as if they were burning red.
"I won't allow you to treat my students roughly!" said Dumbledore with a scowling look.
Old Barty frowned, and Umbridge quickly took out a list and handed it to Old Barty.
Seeing the signature above, Old Barty took a deep breath, "Dumbledore, I need you to tell me that this is a farce."
"Since it has been discovered," Dumbledore said frankly, playing against common sense, "I admit the existence of Dumbledore's Army."
"What?" Barty Sr. said sternly, "You know what that means."
"Of course," Harry was about to say something but Dumbledore interrupted, "That's Dumbledore's Army, not Potter's Army."
"I don't think I'll be able to stay at school anymore," said Dumbledore, who stunned Harry and winked at Harry. "I'll resign and take all the responsibilities."
"Dumbledore, if you want to pay for your students," old Barty said with a strange look in his eyes, and coughed dryly, "then I agree with your resignation."
Dumbledore resigned?
Harry froze.
Originally, Dumbledore temporarily put down the position of headmaster until the investigation was over.
But now that he resigned directly, it meant that the headmaster of Hogwarts was gone.
And all of this is because of myself.
Harry fell into infinite self-blame.
...
"Just resign?"
John was a little surprised. He was very surprised to see the announcement that was issued.
"Someone made a whistleblower report on Potter's group of petty tricksters." Malfoy said gloatingly, "Potter, who always thinks he is the core, has now caused Dumbledore to resign."
John chuckled, "At least they negotiated peacefully."
Dumbledore resigned voluntarily, leaving the position of Headmaster vacant.
Umbridge wanted to be the headmaster, but old Barty knew that this tool man would be abolished in the future. Wouldn't it be ridiculous for him to be the principal.
On the grounds that no suitable person has been found for the time being, the position of principal is vacant.
As for the candidate for acting principal, Professor McGonagall should have been appointed.
In terms of qualifications and status, Professor McGonagall is the most suitable.
It's a pity that Professor McGonagall was unwilling to take up the post, and at the same time, Old Barty was relieved.
If Professor McGonagall remains in office, Umbridge's Inquisitor will be hindered like never before.
You must know that Professor McGonagall is not Dumbledore, and he doesn't like to let nature take its course.
If Umbridge punishes the students, Professor McGonagall and the Ministry of Magic will also throw Umbridge out.
"John, we need to talk." Daphne took Pansy to find John.
John looked into Pansy's red, swollen eyes, nodded and said, "Another place."
They came to the Star Club.
It's Pansy's business.
To be precise, it's about Pansy's boyfriend.
Originally, I thought that Pan Xi's love brain was devoted to her boyfriend.
As a result, that guy turned out to be Umbridge's lackey, which Pansy couldn't accept at once.
You must know that Umbridge was pressured by all the Slytherins in the past, but you, a third year, turned to the enemy?
Pan Xi was freed from her love brain and was full of disappointment with her boyfriend.
After listening to John, he wanted to give Umbridge a thumbs up. This guy can also be used to treat love brain, which is really amazing.
Anyway Pansy broke up with her boyfriend.
"So... isn't this a good thing?" John looked at Daphne suspiciously, "Why is she crying?"
Daphne blinked and said, "Oh, I used the Howling Curse."
John: "..."
Pansy: "I broke up with him, I saw him sneaking around yesterday with a bottle of something."
"what is that?"
"A vial of poison."
Pansy secretly loaded a drop and fed the stuff to a mouse, which died instantly.
Daphne said seriously, "I doubt who he is going to poison."
...
Umbridge opened his eyes slowly.
Professor McGonagall called Dumbledore, her stern expression was distressed, and she went to check on the students.
