Chapter 530 Nosebleed

In the short few days after Umbridge took power, students quickly learned her hypocritical, self-righteous, unreasonable and manipulative character. The old woman's style made everyone feel suffocated.

All the prefects who had dealt with Umbridge disliked her.

Some brave prefect actually leaked the contents of the conversation with Umbridge. The news spread quickly throughout the school that Umbridge was trying to use the prefects as spies to spy on Hogwarts students.

The Deputy Minister of Magic obviously mistook Hogwarts for the Ministry of Magic, and even started playing intrigue here.

She tried to divide and destroy the students' trust in their prefects, and tried to win the prefects to her side and become her pawns.

Once the news spread, the whole school was excited.

The prefects cursed Umbridge countless times in their hearts. In order not to be isolated by the students, they began to spread the news they got from Umbridge. Negative rumors about Umbridge spread like wildfire.

The news that excited the students the most was that Umbridge finally fell into trouble with Levin and was so angry that he smashed up the office.

It is said that many students heard the sound of smashing and cursing coming from the Defense Against Dark Arts office.

"Have you heard? Vice Principal Umbridge is like a clown in front of Levin!"

"Of course I heard! I also heard the sound of smashing things and her cursing from the office!"

"Haha, what a joy! That old woman finally met her match!"

The students gathered together and talked happily. Although they did not dare to openly challenge Umbridge like Levin did, they still felt extremely relieved and excited to see the normally arrogant and arrogant vice-principal being defeated.

However, no one knows exactly how Levin caused Umbridge to stumble so badly.

Because Levin does have the confidence to ignore Umbridge's threat. His past results are the best proof. He does not need that transcript to prove his strength.

More importantly, there is someone behind Levin - everyone knows that he has such a good relationship with Jaina Proudmoore, the Under-Minister of Magic [and Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement] that they sleep in the same bed.

Since Umbridge can't do anything to him, why should he treat Umbridge in vain?

Therefore, the Hogwarts genius directly ignored the Vice Principal of Hogwarts. He was not in the classroom most of the time, and even exempted himself from all classes outside of Defense Against the Dark Arts classes.

Such a move is undoubtedly unprecedented in Hogwarts, but Umbridge has nothing to do about it.

Soon after, even more exciting news came from Hogwarts Castle: Umbridge actually allowed Levin to not have to attend all classes! This was such a great gift that the little wizards' eyes were filled with envy.

What is even more shocking is that the Polytechnic Society led by Levin also received unprecedented preferential treatment. They were allowed to go to another classroom for practical exercises during the Defense Against the Dark Arts class.

This is undoubtedly a great recognition of the strength and status of the Boshu Society, and it also makes other young wizards cast envious glances.

For a time, the Erudite Society became one of the most popular societies at Hogwarts.

The young wizards have submitted applications for membership to the Erudite Society. However, what is unexpected is that these applications were all rejected by Hermione.

Hermione explained with her usual calmness and wisdom: "Since the threat of Umbridge has not been eliminated, the Busuu Society has decided to postpone the recruitment."

However, he still left an opening, "We provide another opportunity for young wizards who are interested in joining the society. You can participate in the paid cram school of the Boshu Society. Next semester, based on the results and progress in the cram school, we will Priority will be given to recruiting young wizards with outstanding performance."

Although this decision made the young wizards feel a little disappointed, they also understood Hermione's considerations.

As a result, in the following days, the cram school of the Learned Society became one of the most popular courses in Hogwarts, and it can be said that Wolf Wolf sold a wave of courses.

Of course, facing the annoying Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, the little wizards' counterattack is gradually coming.

That night, in the Great Hall of Hogwarts, teachers and students gathered together for dinner as usual.

Umbridge has taken the second seat on the teacher's bench, second only to Dumbledore.

In front of her was a piece of fragrant steak and a bowl of steaming mushroom soup.

However, just as she cut off a piece of steak and couldn't wait to take a bite, a strange feeling suddenly swept over her.

She felt as if there was a warm current surging in her nasal cavity. She subconsciously reached out and touched it, only to see bright red blood stains on her fingers.

Umbridge felt anxious and quickly lowered her head, only to find that the originally delicious steak was now covered with her nosebleeds.

This scene not only stunned Umbridge himself, but also attracted the attention of those around him.

Dumbledore sat next to her and immediately noticed something strange about her. He frowned and asked with concern: "Professor Umbridge, are you okay?"

Umbridge hurriedly took out a handkerchief from his pocket and covered his nose, trying to stop the bleeding nose. Before he could answer Dumbledore, the other professors on the teacher's seat also cast concerned or doubtful glances.

Even the students who were chatting in low voices below quickly noticed the commotion at the teacher's desk.

On the Gryffindor long table, brothers Fred and George looked at each other, with a glimmer of pride in their eyes.

Fred deliberately made his voice louder and pretended to be surprised and said: "Oh, something seems to have happened?"

George understood immediately, took over the conversation, and pretended to be concerned: "Yeah, why did our Defense Against the Dark Arts professor suddenly have a nosebleed? Could it be..."

He paused deliberately and looked around, as if waiting for everyone's guesses.

"Could it be that the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor's curse has taken effect?"

Fred took the opportunity to add insult to injury and change the topic, "She is really unlucky. This happened to her when she first came to school." His words caused a burst of snickering, but they were quickly drowned out by the noise around them.

Meanwhile, things weren't getting any better for Umbridge.

She was horrified to find that the nosebleeds seemed to be increasing and the handkerchief had been dyed bright red. She looked around frantically, as if looking for help.

Professor McGonagall looked at this scene and couldn't help frowning.

She didn't like Umbridge, but out of her most basic kindness, she couldn't help but suggest at this moment: "Professor Umbridge, maybe you should go to the school hospital. Mrs. Poppy Pomfold should be able to give you some help."

Umbridge nodded awkwardly and left the auditorium in a hurry.

Her departure caused a small commotion. However, the news that the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor had been cursed by the professorship spread like wildfire, and even became a new joke among the students.

How long do you think Madam Pomfrey will take to cure her?" Zhang Qiu covered her mouth and asked Levin beside her while snickering.

Levin shrugged and replied easily: "Probably...it won't take long."

In fact, it took about a quarter of an hour, and after Levin destroyed the two portions of food, Umbridge's figure appeared again at the door of the auditorium. Her face was a little pale, but her steps were still steady, and she sat back down in her seat.

It's just that... the good times didn't last long.

Just when Umbridge picked up the knife and fork and was about to taste the food on the table, a familiar warm current surged out of his nose again.

She was stunned, and the knife and fork in her hand fell on the table with a crisp sound.

There was a burst of whispers in the auditorium, and everyone's eyes were focused on Umbridge.

She stood up in embarrassment, her handkerchief stained red with blood again, and then hurriedly left the auditorium and rushed towards the school hospital under the gaze of everyone.

This time, Umbridge didn't touch any of the food on the table. She had doubts in her mind that someone had tampered with the food, but looking at the food on the plates of the people around her, they all picked it out by herself, so it was obvious that no one was specifically targeting her.

In fact, Umbridge never dreamed that the culprit of all this was Peeves. That prankster secretly tampered with her cups and knives and forks

After all, nosebleeds are relatively common, and everyone thought that Umri (Zhao Lihao) was just not in good health.

Who would have thought that someone was deliberately targeting Umbridge?

When Umbridge left the auditorium in embarrassment again and headed to the campus hospital, the atmosphere in the auditorium suddenly became subtle. The professors looked at her back with a gloating smile in their eyes; while the students whispered, guessing what was going on.

"Why did she have a nosebleed again?"

"Yeah, it seems very serious."

"Do you think it's really the curse on Defense Against the Dark Arts that has taken effect?"

"It's possible, after all, she encountered this kind of thing when she first came to school."

After a while, Umbridge appeared at the door of the auditorium again. Her face became paler, and her expression was a little haggard. She sat back down carefully, her eyes warily scanning the food and even the tableware on the table, as if they were hidden dangers.

"Are you really not going to have some? The treacle tart tastes delicious." Dumbledore suggested with a smile, looking at Umbridge who had only taken a few bites of food since then.

Umbridge forced out a stiff smile and shook his head: "No, I'd better stop eating for the time being."

She was in a very bad mood now. Watching everyone eat when she was hungry was simply cruel torture. .
