Chapter 220 Farce and Return
Chapter 220 Farce and Return
The Gryffindor team won and cheers resounded throughout the stadium. Harry endured the pain and held the Golden Snitch high.
The team members came forward to hug him.
Crabbe, who committed a flagrant foul, was reprimanded by Madam Hooch, while the other Slytherin players had gloomy faces and glared at the cheering people over there.
Mrs. Montgomery walked over and said, "Ha! You are a bunch of losers. You only rely on Potter to catch the Golden Snitch for you."
The tall Fred stepped forward, "Yes, we have Potter."
George stared at their two new players, "And you have two fat pigs on broomsticks."
The new members Crabbe and Goyle sat on their brooms, and everyone could only see their floating figures.
The Gryffindors were all laughing, Monty's face was distorted, and Goyle, relying on his strong physique, rushed over and hit Fred in the front hard.
With his small giant size, he knocked down not only Fred, but also George and Angelina.
The situation got out of control in an instant. Fred and George, who had gotten up, immediately fought back, and Mrs. Montgomery threw away her broom and joined the melee.
Seeing his brothers fighting, Ron quickly joined in, and the rest of the Slytherin team joined in, and almost everyone on the two teams started fighting.
Madam Hooch, who was still scolding Crabbe, saw this and said, "What are you doing!"
She cast a barrier spell to separate the two groups.
Montague and Goyle had bloody noses from being beaten, Fred and George had bruises on their faces, Ron's hair was messy, and Harry was gasping for breath.
Due to the melee, the students who had not yet left all rushed to the stadium and surrounded the people on both sides tightly.
"Disperse!" Madam Huo Qi drove away the students who were watching.
"He started it!" Fred pointed at Goyle who was covering his nose.
The students watching immediately responded, "Yes, we all saw it. Goyle knocked down Fred and the others."
This answer received a lot of support.
"He scolded us first!" Gore was not to be outdone.
Madam Huo Qi applied seriously, "It's wrong to be the first to take action. If you have any objections, you should come to me!"
"What's going on?" Professor McGonagall squeezed into the crowd and saw the two teams in such a mess. "What did you do?"
George shouted, "Slytherin Goyle hit us!"
Harry followed up, "We were celebrating winning the game, and Goyle ran into us."
Professor Snape also squeezed in. He had heard what they said. He swept his cold eyes over the students of his own college before looking at Harry and the others.
But Harry and the others were confident and met his gaze with their chests puffed out.
Before Snape could say anything, that annoying coquettish voice appeared, "It's totally wrong to beat your classmate so badly."
Umbridge didn't know where she got the news, and came here so quickly.
"Given the dire situation, I think the entire Gryffindor team should be banned for life."
When that team applied, she signed reluctantly.
Professor McGonagall's eyes widened. It was the first time that the students around her saw her with such an expression.
"What did you say!"
"Lifetime ban, Gryffindor should hurry up and select new players." Umbridge held her head high. "Special statement, I am absolutely qualified, because the Minister has just sent the Education Order No. 25."
She has been looking for an opportunity, and today is a good opportunity.
The new educational decree was placed in front of Professor McGonagall, which stated that Umbridge had the highest authority over student punishment, sanctions, and deprivation of rights, and the same applied to professors.
The people around were shocked that the entire team was banned for life.
The Slytherin team had already begun to gloat.
"The Slytherin player hit my student first. I don't accept the lifetime ban. If you insist, I will appeal to the Ministry of Magic!" Professor McGonagall said firmly, "Ask why you are targeting Gryffindor maliciously!"
Umbridge didn't know that it was Slytherin who started the fight first, and the smug expression on her face disappeared in an instant.
She took a deep breath and said, "Then the ban will be lifted and everyone will be put in solitary confinement for a week."
Harry stood in front of her holding the Golden Snitch, "Okay."
Punishment is inevitable, and confinement is better than suspension.
Professor Snape's mouth twitched, and a hint of regret appeared on his face.
·
Listening to Zabini telling her everything about the stadium, Gloria lamented that it was Goyle who started it first, otherwise Gryffindor might really be banned.
All Draco said was that they were lucky.
Regardless, it was a warning to Gryffindor to let them know how dire the situation was.
Soon they found that smoke was coming out of the chimney of the empty cottage and Hagrid had returned.
The Gryffindor students especially welcomed his return, but Gloria was a little worried that he would continue to teach those ferocious creatures and that Umbridge would find an opportunity to expel him.
Lucius received a letter, and Draco read the contents with a serious expression.
Gloria sat across from him. "How's it going?"
He sighed, "Father said that there are people on duty at night to guard the prophecy hall to prevent the prophecy ball from being stolen. He decided to join the guard."
Gloria said, "Your father is not an impulsive person, don't worry."
"He said that the other members of the Order of the Phoenix were busy, and he happened to be in a free department. He was surprised that the Order of the Phoenix asked him to do this."
Lucius had always thought that the Order of the Phoenix would only cooperate on a superficial level, but he never expected to be able to join this kind of mission.
Draco said: "Mother is very worried, after all, someone was hospitalized before."
Gloria comforted him, "Have you forgotten that he has the key to the ring I gave him, which can be used even in the Ministry of Magic."
Regardless, their life at school goes on.
Soon it was time for the Care of Magical Creatures class. The weather in November was very cold and the students all hunched their necks as they walked out of the castle.
Compared to Professor Grubbly-Plank's calmness, Hagrid's injured face caused the students to talk for a long time. They were all curious about what happened when he was away.
Draco looked away in disgust, not wanting to see the wound on that face.
When Gloria saw the wounds, she guessed that the mission to persuade the giants had failed.
Hagrid said expectantly, "Long time no see. As my first class back, I have prepared some very interesting creatures for you."
Everyone looked at each other in confusion when they heard this. The creatures praised by Hagrid did not look good to them.
"I'm probably the only person in the whole of Britain who has tamed these creatures. They love darkness, so follow me into the Forbidden Forest later."
"In the Forbidden Forest!" A Slytherin student's voice was filled with fear, "and I like the dark."
The Gryffindor students began to feel scared after hearing this.
Hagrid said, "Don't worry, they are all tamed creatures and won't hurt you."
After saying that, he carried half a cow and walked into the woods. Gloria led Draco and followed Hagrid's pace. Seeing this, the others had no choice but to follow.
When they arrived, Hagrid called out to the creatures in a strange voice.
After a while, the creatures appeared.
Gloria stared at the empty, shining white eyes. The creature had pitch-black skin and bat-like wings. It was definitely the Thestral.
It turned out that this class was to introduce them to the Thestrals, but not many people could see this creature, especially at such a young age.
