Hogwarts Druid Master Text Volume 621, Umbridge Wants to Convict Umbridge's footsteps are very characteristic, heavy but finely divided, so Fisch doesn't need to distinguish carefully, he can easily hear come out.
And after receiving Fisch's warning, Harry and Ron immediately put on the invisibility cloak and hid in the corner of the room.
"Hagrid, hide our cups!"
Hermione confessed, then turned into a little black cat, jumped to the top of the cabinet and hid.
Only Fish was still sitting on the chair, helping Hagrid put away the extra cups.
"Who is Umbridge?" Hagrid asked suspiciously as he put the cup back into the cupboard.
He has been busy with the giant's affairs during this time, and has no time to read newspapers at all, so he naturally doesn't know about Umbridge, who has already made a name for himself in the wizarding world.
"She is this year's Defense Against the Dark Arts professor" Fish replied, "She is also a bad guy sent by the Ministry of Magic to make trouble."
"Fudge's people?" Hagrid frowned.
Just when he was about to ask Phaedo a little more about Umbridge, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Through the window next to the door, a squat figure could be seen swaying on the thin curtains.
Hagrid walked over and opened the door.
Professor Umbridge stood in the doorway, wearing her green tweed cloak and a hat with flaps of the same colour. Not as high as Hagrid's belly button, she pouted and leaned back so she could see Hagrid's face.
"So," she said slowly and loudly, as if addressing a deaf man, "you're Hagrid, aren't you?"
Before Hagrid could answer, she walked into the room, and then saw Fish sitting at the table
And those pastries that were taken from her on the table - this was specially brought out by Fish after he knew Umbridge was coming.
Umbridge's expression froze for a moment, but soon she smiled again and said, "You're here, Mr. McGonagall."
"Good evening meow."
Fish raised his hand to greet her, then took a piece of snack and stuffed it into his mouth.
The corners of Umbridge's mouth twitched slightly. The scene in front of her reminded her of the autistic encounter this morning.
"Sorry" At this time Hagrid spoke from the side, "If I admit my mistake, didn't you go with Fudge?"
After seeing Umbridge in person, Hagrid recognized her.
After all, Umbridge is very recognizable, whether it's her dressing style or her appearance, Hagrid just didn't know her name before.
"Yes, my name is Dolores Umbridge, and I am the Senior Undersecretary Responsible to the Minister"
When she said this, she gritted her teeth bitterly. In fact, because of Fisher's Dark Mark, her "Senior Deputy Minister" already had a "temporary generation" in front of her.
And if Umbridge fails to obtain any valuable information from Hogwarts in the end, her "interim" will be canceled together with the "Senior Deputy Minister", and only Azkaban is waiting for her .
That's why she frantically used Veritaserum on Fish under Dumbledore's nose, and rushed over immediately after hearing that Hagrid was back.
Umbridge began to pace the room, paying attention to every detail, from the knapsack by the wall to the black traveling cloak draped there.
Seeing that she was about to reach the corner where Harry and Ron were hiding, Hagrid asked again: "Senior Deputy Minister of Magic? Then why did you come to me?"
"Because I'm still the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts" Umbridge turned around and said.
But Harry and Ron took the opportunity to move secretly and hide in the corner she had already checked.
"You are very brave," Hagrid continued to draw Umbridge's attention, but also said sincerely: "Not many people are willing to teach this now"
"and Hogwarts Senior Inquisitor." Umbridge didn't seem to hear him.
"What's that?" Hagrid asked, frowning.
"This is a new measure introduced by Minister Fudge in order to control the decline in Hogwarts' education level. The minister is determined to eliminate unqualified teachers." Umbridge explained with a smile: "As a senior investigator, I have an unfortunate but The necessary task is to investigate what other teachers are teaching to make sure they are all up to standard."
"You want to investigate us?" Hagrid immediately showedWith a look of joy, he said in a low voice: "The professors at Hogwarts are all good! The Ministry of Magic should trust Dumbledore."
There was a hint of disdain in Umbridge's smile, and she didn't argue with Hagrid. Because before coming here, she already knew that Hagrid was Dumbledore's loyal loyalist.
And even if Hagrid chooses to get close to the Ministry of Magic, his giant blood will inevitably cause Umbridge's hostility, and she will definitely try to find trouble for Hagrid when the time comes.
"Is it just you and Mr. McGonagall here?" Umbridge continued to walk around the room and asked.
"Yeah, why?"
"There are two pairs of footprints on the snow, leading from the castle gate to your hut." Umbridge said tactfully, and turned his head to stare at Hagrid.
"Oh, I just got back," said Hagrid, waving a big hand at the knapsack. "Maybe someone's been here and I didn't see it."
"There were no leaving footprints at the door of your cabin."
"This I don't know" Hagrid pulled his beard nervously, and then glanced towards the corner where Harry and the two were standing for help, "Uh"
His movements caught Umbridge's eyes, and Umbridge immediately jumped to the corner he was looking at and searched carefully.
It's just that Harry and Ron had already quietly changed places at this time, but they weren't too far away.
At this moment, a little black cat jumped from the top of the cabinet, fell to the ground and became a little witch.
"The other pair of footprints are mine, Professor," said Hermione, and sat back beside Fish.
"Miss Granger." Umbridge narrowed her eyes and looked at Hermione and Fish. Of course, she knew Hermione's identity, and she could use this opportunity to punish Hermione, but it didn't make much sense.
If it was before being attacked, Umbridge was still interested in torturing Hermione to satisfy her morbid hobby, but now it is more important to obtain valuable information, and she naturally has no such thoughts.
And I don't know why, although Hermione's explanation is very sufficient, she always feels that things are not that simple.
So Umbridge continued to inspect Hagrid's room carefully. She stooped to look under the bed; she opened Hagrid's cupboard; she walked within two inches of Harry and the others
After carefully inspecting the cauldron Hagrid used for cooking, Umbridge, who found nothing, could only give up.
"Where have you been?" Umbridge asked, staring at Hagrid coldly.
"Where am I going?"
"Yes, it's been more than two months since school started, and your class is taken by another teacher, and your colleagues don't know where you are, and you didn't leave your address. Where did you go?"
There was a moment of silence, Hagrid stared at her stupidly, his brain running crazily.
"Hagrid went get Fish this meow!"
Mao Mao lifted the dragon meat on the table and explained for Hagrid.
"Ah! Yes!" Hagrid followed Maomao's words, "Fish was curious about what dragon meat tasted like, so I went and got a piece for him!"
"Two months to make a piece of meat?" Umbridge looked at him mockingly.
"Actually, I'm mainly going to recuperate," Hagrid's brain suddenly became clear after the beginning, "The fire dragon meat is just a gift for Fish by the way."
"Healing." Umbridge nodded noncommittally, and after a pause, she suddenly asked, "Alpine scenery?"
"Mountain?" Hagrid's face changed slightly.
Umbridge didn't see it, however, because his bushy beard provided excellent cover.
"No, it's the south of France. I have a good relationship with Ms. Maxime of Beauxbatons." Hagrid replied after reacting.
Umbridge looked at him coldly, and Hagrid looked at her innocently.
"Okay." Once again failing to make any progress, Umbridge scanned the room again unwillingly, and finally turned her gaze back to Hagrid, "Of course I will report to the minister that you are back so late of."
Umbridge pulled the purse into the crook of his arm, turned sharply and walked towards the door.
"Yes." Hagrid nodded.
"I daresay we'll see each other again soon. Good night, Hagrid, and Mr. McGonagall and Miss Granger."
Umbridge held the doorknob, turned around and gave the three of them a gloomy look, and said softly.
Then, she pushed the door open and went out, and with a "snap", she closed the door forcefully
