"Inquisitor Umbridge, what can I do for you?"
Although he knew that the horrid toad woman was looking for trouble, Dumbledore still greeted her gracefully.
Umbridge didn't look like she was going to continue being courteous with Dumbledore, though.
"Inquisitor? Sorry, just an hour ago, I received an appointment from the Ministry of Magic. From now on, I will be the Headmistress of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry."
Umbridge opened the parchment in her hand.
The content of the appointment was clearly written on it, and there was Minister Thicknesse's signature at the end.
"Impossible, we will not recognize you as the Headmistress!"
Harry was the first to speak out against it, but he only got a contemptuous look from Umbridge.
But Harry was not without gains, at least he gained the attention of others.
The students around went from five to ten, ten to a hundred, and soon the hall was full of people. Even some professors were alarmed.
Dumbledore's expression didn't change. It's as if the other party said something trivial.
"Madam Umbridge, may I see the appointment papers?"
Umbridge snorted and tossed the parchment to Dumbledore.
"Did you think I would forge a document from the Ministry of Magic?"
"Of course not, you misunderstood." Dumbledore shook his head, his eyes fell on the parchment.
At this time, Professor McGonagall arrived being supported by someone.
"Headmaster Dumbledore, what happened?"
"Minerva, you should rest now."
McGonagall shook her head, looking at Umbridge resentfully.
"I'm just afraid that some unruly people will mess around again!"
"Professor McGonagall, I hope you understand what you are talking about, now that I am the Headmistress, I have the right to fire you."
Professor McGonagall showed a sarcastic smile, she was not afraid of Umbridge's threats.
Clearly, Umbridge threatened the wrong people.
Minerva McGonagall is the Head of Gryffindor. How can a timid person become the head of the Lion House?
Just now Umbridge said that she is now the Headmistress, which surprised the few teachers around.
They looked at Dumbledore, and found that he was holding a parchment in his hand, and there seemed to be a slight worry between his brows.
"Why do you want to replace Headmaster Dumbledore?"
"You are stupid, the Ministry of Magic is now controlled by you-know-who, of course he will not let Headmaster Dumbledore stay at Hogwarts."
"Then why did he make Umbridge the Headmistress?"
"unless...."
Unless nothing was said though.
But the students and the professors at the school already knew it.
So when looking at Umbridge, the eyes of everyone were full of disgust.
"Why are you looking at me with those eyes? Be careful, I will punish you with detention!"
The omnipotent punishment lost its effect at this moment.
Not only did no one restrain themselves, the disdain in their eyes became even more obvious.
"Argus, Argus!"
Umbridge shouted angrily at the crowd.
If it was normal, Filch would have already run to her side to wait for the orders.
But today it was different.
Anyone with a discerning eye can understand Umbridge's identity.
According to Voldemort's beliefs, Squibs were also the type of people to be liquidated.
Even Filch wouldn't be so foolish as to hang out with people who wanted to take his life.
Umbridge quickly found herself alone in the crowd. Seeing that Argus didn't want to listen she shouted angrily: "Okay, even you don't listen to me, you really are a dirty waste!"
She raised her short wand and waved it to send a spell, intending to punish anyone who dared to betray her.
"Stop, Umbridge!"
A thick voice came from behind the crowd.
At the same time, a spell flew out, blocking Umbridge's spell.
Seeing that limping figure, the look on Umbridge's face was very odd. It was an expression of timidity mixed with contempt.
"I wondered who it was who dared to stop me, it turned out to be Alastor Moody, don't forget, you are no longer an Auror."
"And now I am the Senior Undersecretary of the Ministry of Magic, Headmistress and High Inquisitor of Hogwarts."
Naming her bunch of titles, Umbridge seemed to have the confidence to face Mad-Eye.
She cleared her throat and looked contemptuously at the members of the Order behind Moody.
"This is a school, and any irrelevant personnel should be prohibited from entering, especially members of some illegal civil organizations."
Grrrrr~
Seeing the huge black dog baring its teeth at her, Umbridge took a step back in disgust.
"Dumbledore, how do you allow these people into the school? As the headmaster, I think your decision is very inappropriate."
"Now, please leave my school, you members of illegal organizations. If you are slow for a second, I will ask someone to expel you."
Umbridge pointed at the door and snapped at the members of the Order.
Mad-Eye walked up to her with a ferocious and terrifying face: "Although I am not an Auror, I am still not soft on dark wizards."
"You..." Umbridge took half a step back in horror, and began shouting to the surrounding professors.
"What are you still doing in a daze, drive them out quickly!"
"Sorry, Madam Umbridge, I'm afraid you don't have that power."
Umbridge turned sharply to look at Dumbledore and saw that the old man was carefully putting away the parchment.
"According to the relevant regulations, the appointment and dismissal of the headmaster of Hogwarts needs to be signed by the 12 school governors to take effect."
"On this document, only the Minister of Magic's signature is present, and it is missing the signatures of the school Governors."
"So Madam, you are not the Headmistress yet. And since you are not, of course you have no right to drive away my guests."
Dumbledore's words were powerful.
After hearing this, the students let go of their worries, and immediately cheered.
At the same time atop the Astronomy Tower, Lucas was standing on the edge watching the crowd below.
The reason why he is here is just to get a good look at where Dumbledore was about to give his life.
Suddenly, light footsteps came from below.
Snape was still the same, walking up to Lucas in his black robe.
He also paid attention to the crowd below, looking at Umbridge with disdain.
"She thought that would get Dumbledore out? How stupid!"
Lucas chuckled, he did agree with Snape that Umbridge was indeed an idiot.
"She is useless, staying will only affect people's mood, let's expel her..."
Lucas' hand stretched out from his robe, and a Hogwarts school badge jumped out of his palm.
"In the name of the Founders, I expel Dolores Jane Umbridge, from today to eternity, she will no longer be able to enter the scope of Hogwarts!"
As soon as the words fell, the school emblem flashed a golden light.
This golden light penetrated into a room deep in the school.
The Book of Admittance flipped the pages forward, and soon Umbridge's name appeared on it.
Then the ink where the name was written, as if it met water, gradually faded away until it disappeared.
At this point, Umbridge's contract with Hogwarts since childhood disappeared.
Back in the main hall. Umbridge, who was losing her temper, suddenly felt a sense of crisis coming from all directions.
Before she could ask what was going on, her figure disappeared from everyone's eyes.
Dumbledore froze for a moment, and soon understood what was going on. Then a friendly smile reappeared on his face.
He looked around and said, "Well, business as usual, Madam Umbridge will probably never come back."
The cheers became more intense.
As Umbridge saw the door in front of her she knew that she was expelled from Hogwarts.
She secretly cursed Dumbledore.
She tried various methods and found that no matter what, she couldn't set foot on the land of Hogwarts.
Ultimately, she had no choice but to go back to the Ministry of Magic first.
She was uneasy, wondering if she would be punished by Voldemort this time.
…
Astronomy Tower.
The expulsion of Umbridge was a trivial matter for Lucas.
He asked Snape to come here, and naturally there were more important things.
"Professor, how long will it take to complete the Spirit Purification Potion?"
"A month's time."
Lucas frowned slightly: "Is there only one month left?"
"By the way, what were you thinking about just now?"
Snape thought for a while and said, "Narcissa Malfoy came to see me today..."
After the potions master finished talking about today's events, Lucas nodded and said: "The Headmaster will come to you again later, and it is also related to his death. You can agree to his request, and everything is up to me."
…
20 days later.
Harry came to the Headmaster's office full of excitement.
Dumbledore also seemed to be wearing a new robe today.
He raised his arm for Harry to hold.
As soon as Harry put his hand on the other's arm, he felt his belly button being pulled outward by a hook.
After a short disorienting moment, Harry found himself on a cliff by the sea.
Dumbledore threw away the discarded glasses in his hand, and followed Lucas' prompt to the edge of the cliff.
"Harry, follow me!"
Seeing Dumbledore's dignified expression, Harry's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and he kept up with his footsteps.
…
Hogwarts.
Draco looked at the pocket watch in his hand.
When the time came to five minutes to eight in the evening, he stood up abruptly and walked out of the dormitory.
It didn't take long for him to come to the Room of Requirements on the seventh floor.
As a black door appeared on the wall, he took a deep breath, opened the door and walked in.
Wosh~
The black cloth was lifted, and the restored Vanishing Cabinet appeared in front of his eyes.
