"That note was obviously passed to her by that boy, why don't you punish him?!"

As soon as these words came out, the whole classroom fell silent. Even the Gryffindor girl who was lowering her head and crying raised her head in surprise. Everyone really didn't expect that someone would choose to stand up at this time.

"I have emphasized this many times! If you want to speak in my class, you must raise your hand!" Umbridge roared, "Ten points from Gryffindor!"

"Oh! Really?" Harry also stood up and said, "I'm afraid you can't deduct our points anymore, because Gryffindor's hourglass has long been empty!"

"No...that's right! Today you must give us an explanation why you are so biased towards Ravenclaw!"

Ron also echoed, but his voice seemed a little lacking in confidence.

But it didn't matter. After the three of them stood up, more and more people in the Gryffindor team stood up and began to question Umbridge.

Mike was not surprised by this. You must know that Gryffindor is famous for its courage. If they still want to be cowardly at this time, then they are not qualified to be Gryffindor students.

The classroom was noisy for a while, but Umbridge on the podium didn't take it seriously and sneered and said:

"Who said you can't deduct points if you don't have them? Gryffindor will deduct 50 points!"

After saying this, Umbridge took out a small hourglass and looked at it, and the sarcasm on her face suddenly became more intense.

"Congratulations! You have set a record! Gryffindor's current score is minus 10 points, and you are the first student since the founding of Hogwarts to have a negative house score!"

All the Gryffindor students were trembling with anger. This was undoubtedly a great humiliation for them.

Many people on the Ravenclaw side were watching the fun, and some were even a little bit nasty. They laughed when they saw Gryffindor being unlucky.

But while they were gloating about their misfortune, they were also secretly rejoicing. If it were them who were targeted today, it would really be a shame to be sent to their grandma's house.

"Please answer our question, why are you so partial to Ravenclaw!" Hermione said tremblingly, clenching her pink fist tightly, "If you can't give me an explanation today, I will definitely report this matter to the school.

of!"

"Yes! You must give us an explanation!"

"That's right!"

…

There were echoes in the Gryffindor team, and the whole classroom became noisy again.

Faced with such questioning, Umbridge calmly said:

"Am I biased towards Ravenclaw again? I don't think so?"

As she spoke, Umbridge looked in the direction of Mike and blinked her left eye like a little girl.

At this moment, Mike suddenly became the focus of the classroom. Umbridge's hint just now was already obvious, so most of the Gryffindor students turned their anger to Mike and glared at Mike angrily.

There was also a stir within the Ravenclaw team.

After Mike was imprisoned by Umbridge, the life of Ravenclaws has been greatly improved compared to other houses.

At least during class, as long as you don't take the initiative to provoke Umbridge, she won't care about you at all.

The clever Ravenclaw had actually already associated these two things, but he didn't say it out loud due to the evidence and Mike's identity.

Now Umbridge's actions just now have almost admitted that she and Mike have an unusual relationship, and this means that they Ravenclaws can continue to enjoy this privilege in the future.

"Long live Mike!"

Several boys in the back row shouted excitedly. Although the people around them who had not lost their minds immediately stopped them, the sound still reached the ears of everyone in the classroom.

Everyone in Gryffindor looked at Mike with increasingly unkind eyes. They were afraid that if they hadn't been defeated, they would have taken out their wands and dueled Mike now.

But Mike, who was the center of attention, looked extremely gloomy at the moment.

Umbridge used this alienation tactic very well, and she immediately put herself on the opposite side of most of her classmates.

Mike was also helpless about this. When they made the deal with Umbridge, they had signed a magical contract. Mike would not reveal the secret of Umbridge's bloodline, and Umbridge was merciful to Mike's mutual aid club.

.

But now, Umbridge has clearly taken advantage of the loopholes in the contract to trick Mike.

Taking a deep breath, Mike suppressed his desire to go directly to the stage and smash Umbridge's toad face.

Now is not the time to be impulsive. Dumbledore is not at school, and Umbridge's behavior has become extremely bold. If any conflict breaks out between the two at this juncture, it is likely to affect Mike's next plan.

"Quiet!"

Just as the atmosphere in the classroom became increasingly tense, Umbridge suddenly spoke.

I saw her smiling triumphantly, her fingers passing through the Gryffindor team one after another.

"You, you, and the rest of you, will be detained for seven days in my office." Umbridge said, naming Harry and all the other Gryffindors who were causing trouble, "Tonight at seven o'clock

, we’ll see you there or not.”

As soon as this statement came out, another voice of opposition broke out in the Gryffindor team, but then Umbridge yelled:

"Shut up, everyone! I don't mind punishing you all to solitary confinement! My office is very big!"

Hearing this, all the opponents who had been hiding in the Gryffindor team just stopped talking.

The reason why these people dare to speak out is largely because there are so many of them. It is estimated that Umbridge will follow the principle of not punishing everyone and will have nothing to do with them.

Now that Umbridge has shown her determination, these people will all be defeated.

Harry and others looked ugly, but many Ravenclaws not far away were secretly laughing - they had a new definition of Gryffindor's courage.

This laughter was like a knife, scratching every Gryffindor's heart, making their complexions turn as red as Weasley's hair.

Half an hour later, Umbridge announced that get out of class was over and then left the classroom triumphantly.

Most of the Gryffindors left the classroom without saying a word.

Mike called Harry's name and wanted to explain to him, but the latter seemed not to hear him, lowered his head and left silently.

Shaking his head, Mike knew that when things got to this point, a large part of Gryffindor's hatred for Umbridge had been transferred to Ravenclaw.

"Mike," Franklin said with a frown, "what now?"

"Don't worry, I have a solution!"

Mike gritted his teeth, but his eyes fell on the lost Ravenclaw boy.

…

"You have to bear a lot of responsibility for this matter, you know?"

Late at night, in an abandoned classroom on the fourth floor of Hogwarts, Franklin said to the tall and thin Ravenclaw boy who passed the note to the Gryffindor girl during the day,

"So, you have to make amends!"

"What...what kind of compensation? I don't...have no money!"

The tall and thin boy said in horror. The abandoned classroom he was in now had no lights on and was surrounded by darkness.

In this environment, he could only see Franklin's eyes and teeth moving, which was extremely strange.

What's more, he clearly knew that there were still many people standing in this classroom.

Each of these people were very vicious. Not only did they take themselves out of the dormitory to this place, but they also demanded compensation from themselves.

The tall and thin boy felt that he might have heavy bleeding tonight.

"Who wants your money?!" Franklin punched the wall next to the tall and thin boy's ear. A muffled sound came, and the boy trembled suddenly, "Idiot!"

After scolding the boy, Franklin went to another corner of the classroom, where more than a dozen senior mutual aid association members gathered in twos and threes, and standing in the middle of these people was none other than Mike.

"Mike, it's time for Umbridge to send letters every night. Do we really have to sap her? This...can this really ease the relationship between us and Gryffindor?"

"have no idea."

Mike's answer was direct and straightforward. In fact, he did not expect this action to restore the friendship with Gryffindor at once. He had already left the matter of restoring the relationship to other members of the Mutual Aid Association. These people

Over the next few months a message will be sent to everyone - Umbridge is using a stratagem to drive a wedge between Gryffindor and Ravenclaw.

In addition, Mike also greeted the rest of the Ravenclaws and asked them not to conflict with the Gryffindors.

Under such an offensive of public opinion, Mike believed that the vast majority of rational Gryffindors should be able to see clearly who is behind this matter, thereby dispelling their hostility towards Ravenclaw.

As for those unrepentant Gryffindors, Mike believed that such people were either mentally ill or inherently hostile to Ravenclaw. Such people were not on Mike's list.

As for the reason why Mike made the decision to sap Umbridge tonight, in addition to wanting to use this matter to regain some relationship with Gryffindor, the main reason was for revenge.

Yes, it's revenge.

Today, Umbridge cheated Mike with her conspiracy. If she didn't take revenge, Mike would really not be able to swallow this breath!

At the same time, this is also a warning, a warning for Umbridge's life.

Mike wants to let Umbridge know that he can take her life away at any time if he wants!

"The time is almost up, go and clean that kid's brain and teach him what to do next."

Mike said and pointed in the direction of the tall and thin boy. The latter seemed to have noticed something, and his body was shaking more and more intensely.

"It's okay, leave it to me!"

Franklin sneered, then clenched his fists with both hands, making a crunching sound, and walked over under the horrified eyes of the young man.

Ten minutes later, the door to the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor's office suddenly opened, and a bright light shone out, illuminating the corridor in front of the office.

Harry and other Gryffindors lined up and walked out of the office. Without exception, they all covered the back of their left hand that was trembling slightly. Many of them even had blood in their fingers.

It burst out and finally dripped onto the smooth marble floor, making a 'tick-tick-tick' sound.

At the end of the queue, Umbridge, wearing a floral dress, walked out of the office with a smile on her face and closed the office door.

She also held a letter in her hand. Judging from the stamp on it, this letter should be sent to the Ministry of Magic.

As the office door closed, the corridor returned to darkness.

Harry and others had obviously not adapted to this dim environment, and stood motionless in the corridor.

"Luciferase!" Umbridge flicked her wand to emit a light that wasn't too bright, and then urged, "Okay, let's go! Time waits for no one!"

Harry and the others walked forward depressedly, and could faintly hear crying coming from the team.

Umbridge, who was at the end of the team, listened to this voice, and the smile on her face became even brighter.

In the corridor late at night, a group of people walked silently, and the sounds of messy footsteps continued to echo.

The faint light from the tip of Umbridge's staff illuminated the area within a two-meter radius around her, but it also made other places significantly darker.

Ron, who was walking at the front, looked at the darkness in front of him and the light behind him. Although he hated Umbridge very much, the stinging sensation from the wound on the back of his hand kept reminding him of what Umbridge had just done to him.

But in this case, Ron still instinctively moved closer to Umbridge.

At this moment, a hoarse cat meow suddenly rang out in the darkness.

There was a scream immediately from the team, and everyone retreated quickly, as if there was some monster hidden in the darkness in front of them.

"Meow!"

Another cat meow sounded, and a skinny cat with gray hair walked out of the darkness and looked at Harry and his group warily.

"Phew! It's Mrs. Norris, Filch's cat!"

Ron took a long breath, still stroking his chest with his right hand, as if trying to calm his violently beating heart.

Umbridge on the side was also startled, but when she discovered that the visitor was just a cat, she only saw her frowning and pointing her wand at Mrs. Norris.

"El-blowing prinx!"

A spell that Harry had never heard of came from Umbridge's mouth, and then a flash of gray light flashed from her wand, hitting Mrs. Norris directly.

"Meow!"

Mrs. Norris screamed, and its ears wrinkled up, looking extremely painful.

Everyone present was shocked. They had seen many cat decoration plates in Umbridge's office before. It stands to reason that Umbridge should like cats very much, but now she attacked Loris with a curse.

lady!

"Ugly cat!" Umbridge cursed fiercely, and then said to Harry and others, "Let's go! Don't delay!"
Chapter completed!
