Punishment For Cheating, Mischief Begins, And Hogwarts Is Buzzing!

Since the day he parted from the twins in the Chamber of Secrets, Lucas never spoke to the two of them again.

Not only him, but many of the Slytherin students, even his four girlfriends were the same.

In the words of the twins, it is better not to have any contact with them these days, so as not to get into trouble.

The time soon came to the day most students dreaded. According to the newly promulgated education decree, all students must take monthly exams at the end of the month.

And it also stipulated that it must be a written test.

Such examinations bring pain to the students, but it also adds a lot of trouble to the professors.

So much so that in the past few days at the end of the month, all the professors looked bitter and tired.

The monthly exam is finally here.

In order to prevent someone from cheating, it is even more important to prevent some people from resorting to favoritism.

The location of the exam is set to be held in the great hall.

All students from years 1 to 7 will take the exam here and the chief examiner is none other than the pink toad, Dolores Umbridge.

But the candidate for the deputy invigilator was beyond everyone's expectations.

The assistant proctor was neither the serious and impartial Professor McGonagall.

Nor was it the cold and harsh Professor Snape.

It was the school caretaker, the resident Squib, Argus Filch.

Filch, who suffers from severe rheumatism, was patrolling the great hall in an awkward posture.

"Do your own questions, don't peek at others, and don't cheat."

"You nasty little wizards, when the new education decree comes down, I will be able to tie you up and punish you."

"I'll have that power then, and Dumbledore can't object, he's been too kind to you before."

"Let me see who is cheating, I will write down their names, and then wait for the new education decree to come down, and then punish them properly!"

Filch repeatedly tried scaring everyone with the new education decree. But didn't say what the new education decree actually is.

However, it can be heard from his few words that it is not good news.

Filch, a Squib, always has an inexplicable hatred for the students, so if he gets the power to punish people, their lives will be very difficult in the future.

"Argus!" A disgustingly sweet voice came from the front of the great hall and Filch immediately ran over.

"Ma'am, what are your orders?"

"Give this quill to the girl in the fourth row."

Filch took the delicate quill and trotted to the fourth row.

The girl trembled slightly and looked at Umbridge anxiously.

"Professor, this..."

"Miss, please use this quill to complete the exam."

The girl's hand holding the quill began to tremble, but under Umbridge's gaze, she finally wrote the answer on the test paper with the quill.

A sudden scream startled everyone, making them look at where the voice came from.

They saw the girl from just now covering her face with her hands. But even so, everyone still saw the handwriting on her cheek.

"I am a cheater!"

These words seemed to be carved with a knife, not only disfiguring the girl's face, but also insulting her.

"Everyone should pay attention, this is what happens after cheating!"

Umbridge looked around at everyone triumphantly.

Seeing how no one dared to speak out, she became even more proud.

The Weasley twins sitting near the gate looked at each other and nodded at the same time.

Boom~!

Suddenly there was a dull sound outside the great hall.

Attracted by the sound, Umbridge immediately walked towards the door.

But just when she was about to open the door, it was suddenly knocked open by a huge force and a huge dragon made of fireworks came in through the gate.

The students screamed, and the examination room was in chaos.

"Who did this? Who?"

Umbridge pulled out her wand angrily, and said to the firework dragon: "Stupefy!"

The spell hit the dragon's head precisely, and then it exploded.

Originally there was only one pyrotechnic dragon, but several more appeared after the explosion.

"Merlin's Beard, Argus, don't use the Stunning Charm on these fireworks!"

"Yes, ma'am!"

The Toad seemed to have forgotten that Filch was a Squib and couldn't use Stunning Charms at all.

Filch waved the mop in his hands, trying to knock down the fireworks from the sky.

But after a while the mop in his hand was ignited.

As far as the current situation is concerned, it is obvious that the monthly examination cannot continue.

So the students who no longer had to take the exam were cheering.

Those in the know cheered and looked at the Weasley twins. Such unique and creative fireworks must have been invented by those brothers.

The twins were not idle either, and distributed all the fireworks in their pockets to the people around them.

These Weasley fireworks are long-lasting and fly around.

If someone casts a spell on them, these fireworks will explode immediately.

Harry also got a few fireworks, and glancing at Umbridge in the distance, took out his wand and lit the fireworks.

The great hall was completely turned into a sea of fireworks of various colors.

"What in Merlin's beard is going on here?"

Professor McGonagall led the other professors.

Seeing the fire dragons flying all over the ceiling and the small fireworks flying around, she almost dropped her jaw in shock.

"Inquisitor Umbridge, what is going on here?"

"Someone is making trouble, I must catch the troublemaker, I will expel him, expel him!"

As soon as Umbridge finished shouting, she found that the people around her were moving far away from her and her toad's survival instincts kicked in.

The moment she turned around, a fire dragon engulfed her and the pink toad was dyed black by the flames.

Seeing Umbridge's ugly appearance (although if you ask around most people would say it was an improvement), the students laughed out loud.

"Professor McGonagall, why aren't you helping me?"

"Oh~ I'm so sorry, Inquisitor Umbridge, it's because we don't know if we have the authority to do so."

Professor McGonagall explained why in the same tone that the toad often used.

Then she looked at the students in the great hall.

"The great hall is very dangerous right now, before the Inquisitor has dealt with the problem, you should go back to your common rooms and wait for news."

Amid the cheers, Professor McGonagall led other professors out of the great hall. The students also consciously followed behind her.

Also leaving the great hall were the countless fireworks.

They seemed to be manipulated by someone behind them and they immediately split into pieces after leaving the great hall, flying to every corner of Hogwarts.

…

Afternoon.

The monthly exam seems to have become a joke.

The students re-entered their classrooms and started class as usual.

Facing the fireworks that burst out from certain corners from time to time.

All the professors chose to stand by, knowing who the culprit was, but even Snape didn't blame the twins.

This just shows how hated Umbridge has become in Hogwarts.

A firework with colorful lights suddenly flew into the transfiguration classroom.

Professor McGonagall glanced lightly: "Prefect, go and tell Professor Umbridge that there is a firework here that needs her disposal.

Not long after the prefect left, Umbridge hurried over.

As the fireworks disappeared, her face became gloomy again.

"McGonagall..."

"Professor Umbridge, there are fireworks in the Charms classroom. Professor Flitwick wants you to go there as soon as possible."

Professor McGonagall said with a serious expression: "Inquisitor, you should go and have a look, if something goes wrong, I'm afraid it won't be easy to explain it to the Ministry of Magic."

"Hmph! Argus, let's go!" Filch followed Umbridge out of the classroom with a twist.

Once the two left, cheers erupted in the classroom and even Professor McGonagall had a slight smile on her lips.

Umbridge spent the entire afternoon dealing with pyrotechnics. There was simply no time to investigate just who was playing the prank.

Until evening arrived.

After dealing with all the fireworks, Umbridge finally had some free time.

A group of students are waiting outside the office of Defense Against the Dark Arts.

If you look closely, you will find that most of them are students of the Gryffindor House.

The door of the office was opened and Neville came out of it.

"How's it going, Neville? What did she ask you?"

"She just asked a few random questions, and Professor Umbridge also treated me to some snacks and tea." Neville scratched his head and said.

The few people around were immediately disappointed.

"Harry Potter!"

Filch's voice came from the office door.

Harry walked into the office under everyone's worried eyes.

"Mr Potter, I have been waiting for you for a long time, please sit down!"

"Thanks!"

Harry sat down stiffly across from Umbridge and Filch immediately brought him a cup of tea.

"Drink some tea, have some snacks, don't be nervous, we will just chat casually."

Harry thanked her again, then picked up the teacup and saw his reflection in the tea, and his thoughts suddenly returned to last summer.

Thinking of that fake Professor Moody who drank Veritaserum and uncontrollably revealed a lot of secrets, his heart suddenly became vigilant.

"Drink, drink more."

Listening to Umbridge's urging, Harry was even more sure that there was something added to the tea in his hand.

"No professor, I'm not thirsty yet, what do you want to ask?"

"Oh, well then, just don't forget to drink." Umbridge continued to ask after that, "Do you think Dumbledore has neglected his duty as headmaster?"

Harry said suspiciously: "I thought you wanted to ask me about the fireworks."

"Of course." Umbridge's face became a bit uglier: "Of course I want to ask about the fireworks, but this does not conflict with my question."

"I don't think what happened today would have happened without Dumbledore's acquiescence, so there's something wrong with the education system, don't you think?"

"I can't agree with you, Professor. I don't think there is any problem with Professor Dumbledore's education. All the students at Hogwarts like him very much."

Harry's answer obviously didn't please Umbridge.

Just when she was about to continue asking, the door of the office was suddenly pushed open.

"Ma'am, go and have a look, someone is making trouble outside again, and there are many swamps on the only way to the teaching area!"

"What? Swamps?" Umbridge stood up in surprise.

Forgetting about continuing to trouble Harry, she picked up the wand on the table and walked out the door.

Harry smiled gloatingly, he knew that the twins must have done it again.
