Chapter 450
Unfortunately, Dumbledore's aesthetics were a bit problematic and he didn't fall for Wayne's trick.
He refused to admit that Wayne's looks could win extra points for Hufflepuff. This was a school, not a beauty pageant.
However, when Wayne brought out a plate of desserts carefully made by Gardevoir, the headmaster still gave in.
On the grounds of last year's contribution to the Holy Grail, Dumbledore once again awarded Wayne the Special Contribution Award to the School and added 100 points to Hufflepuff.
With this 100 points, Hufflepuff's current score is at the same level as Gryffindor.
After seeing it tomorrow, Umbridge will probably be furious, right?
Sure enough, when she saw Hufflepuff's score column almost restored to its original state the next day, Umbridge felt that her authority was challenged.
"Professor Scamander, why did you give Lawrence extra points?"
"He performed very well in class. Is there any problem?" Newt said against his will.
"Professor Flitwick, you also gave him 30 points?"
Flitwick said sharply: "Mr. Lawrence used a beautiful marking spell, he deserves these points."
Finally, Umbridge looked at Dumbledore, 100 points, a full 100 points, she wanted to see what excuse Dumbledore could find.
Dumbledore smiled slightly, acting very gentle.
"Professor Umbridge, Mr. Lawrence gets 200 points every time he wins a special contribution award, this is the tradition of the school."
"Then I have to thank you for only adding 100 points this time?" Umbridge laughed angrily.
"Oh, you're welcome, this 100 points will be added in a month, this is Mr. Lawrence's special request."
Umbridge looked coldly at the professors who were in collusion, and left the guest seat without saying a word.
Wayne noticed her expression and specifically warned Hermione, Qiu, and Astoria.
He was afraid that Umbridge would get desperate and go after his girlfriends... if she couldn't afford to offend him.
Of course, Wayne's warning was not to make people swallow their anger, but to persuade them to do whatever they wanted and not to worry too much.
If Umbridge could really target him, he would not hesitate to attack directly. As long as he didn't kill her, he could handle it.
Not only could he handle it, but he could also get more points.
Wayne was not worried about Hermione's words. The little witch only insisted on the right things. As long as she was right, she would not care about the other party's identity. She would argue with reason and not let herself be wronged.
Astoria was usually soft, but the biggest advantage of Fu Loli was that she was obedient. Whatever he said was what he said.
Besides, she is a Slytherin. Umbridge has been trying to win over Slytherin students since she entered the school, so there shouldn't be any problems.
What worries Wayne the most is Qiu.
Qiu thinks more than the other two girls. Wayne is most worried about her, so he spent an entire night to make Qiu listen to him.
It's Friday again.
Veen also attended a Defense Against the Dark Arts class in the past two days. Umbridge had learned her lesson. As long as he didn't get angry in class, she would treat him as a transparent person, regardless of what books he read or what homework he did.
But you can hide for a while, but you can't hide forever.
After class, Umbridge was forced to bow to Wayne again, and 200 points were easily credited.
It turns out that the pink toad is not so easy to defeat, and her revenge comes quickly.
But it's not against Wayne and Hermione, but against the professors at Hogwarts.
It's not that Umbridge doesn't want to cause trouble for Wayne, but Fudge called her back and scolded her again.
I asked you to go to Hogwarts to disgust Dumbledore, not to target Lawrence.
If you piss off Lawrence again, what if he thinks it was my instruction?
Then who will give me the position of senior advisor after I retire from the post of Minister of Magic?
Go back and make trouble for Dumbledore!
Umbridge, who was full of anger, came back with the first education order of this year.
[From today, any educational expenditure of Hogwarts shall be carried out under the supervision of the Education Department. All expenditures without review shall be regarded as illegal transactions. ]
The students did not react much to this rule. They just glanced at it and continued to do their own things. The professors were uncomfortable.
The first one to suffer was Professor Setima Victor of the Arithmancy Divination Class.
She just wanted to replace a new set of Arithmancy Divination Atlas for the students, with a total value of no more than fifty Galleons.
But such a small request was rejected by Umbridge on the grounds that the old one could still be used.
"Arithmancy is a subject that is constantly improving. Many contents of the previous atlas are no longer valid. If we continue to use the old version, the knowledge that students learn is wrong and outdated."
"You can let the students buy it themselves." Umbridge smiled at the excited Setima Victor.
Victor argued: "In the past, the school paid for the replacement of the atlas."
"That's why Hogwarts consumes a lot of funds every year." Umbridge said comfortably: "Please go back, professor, I won't give you this money."
"I will give you a formal reply later, in duplicate, and the other copy will be kept in the archives of the Education Department. If you use the school's funds to purchase it privately, you will bear legal responsibility."
Victor left angrily, and Professor Sprout came behind her.
"I need seeds of Devil's Snare, 30 rue."
"Too many, I can only approve half for you." Umbridge quickly wrote down the record on the list.
"Do you want students to only look at the pictures in the book in class?" Professor Sprout looked at her incredulously: "I want these plants not for myself, but for the school."
"The funds are limited, and you have to figure out the rest yourself."
"If you are a good professor, you can calculate without physical objects.Students can also learn useful knowledge, just like me. "
After saying that, Umbridge handed the note to Professor Sprout, indicating that she could leave. Sprout was so angry that he didn't even take half of it and slammed the door and walked out.
After sending two professors away in a row, Umbridge was in a very good mood.
This is the normal situation. She has power in her hands, so others should be afraid of her and fear her.
Instead of being lawless like Lawrence.
This is just the beginning. She will become stronger and stronger until she completely controls this school. (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
By then, she will be Fudge's confidant, and it will not be difficult for her to become the Minister of Magic in the future.
Umbridge Qi showed a hint of intoxicated smile.
Soon, almost all the professors were frustrated by Umbridge, except Newt, who had his own little world and the Forbidden Forest behind him, so he didn't need to spend money to prepare other things for class.
Professor McGonagall needed a cushion, Trelawney's crystal ball, Professor Flitwick's anti-cheating paper, and Snape's potion materials.
She would make trouble for all these normal expenses, which was disgusting. She would either deduct more than half of the amount or directly refuse all of them.
In the Transfiguration class, Hermione and Wayne shared a pen holder, and the two took turns practicing the Vanishing Charm and the Restoration Charm.
"Does she want us to pay for the school? ”
Hermione waved her wand and the pen holder disappeared without a trace. Wayne tapped lightly on the table and the pen holder reappeared.
It was okay for their group to return the item intact, but it was difficult for other groups.
The vanishing spell was one of the most advanced items in the OWL exam, and everyone's progress was not ideal.
Sometimes half of the pen holder disappeared, but the other half could not be found. After using the repair spell to restore it, it became more difficult to make it disappear again because of the added magic factor.
So this thing has become a consumable, and there are fewer in each class.
Looking at Professor McGonagall with a frown on her face, Hermione stood up for him.
". It's really too much." Wayne supported his chin with one hand and thought, "I'll help Professor McGonagall with an idea later."
"Okay, okay. "Hermione nodded like a woodpecker, "You are full of bad intentions, you can definitely deal with her."
"Hmm?" Wayne looked at the little witch pretending to be unhappy.
Hermione stuck out her tongue playfully, not afraid, and made a face to provoke.
It's a class now, and it's Professor McGonagall's class, she is not afraid of Wayne's revenge.
"I'll deal with you tonight." Wayne pinched her little face and said softly.
Hermione noticed that Professor McGonagall had looked over, her pretty face flushed and she gave the boy a white look, and continued to practice spells.
After class, Wayne deliberately stayed until the end.
"Mr. Lawrence, what do you want?" Professor McGonagall asked.
Wayne closed the door first., and then answered: "Professor, has Umbridge been making things difficult for you recently?"
"This is just a normal process." Although Professor McGonagall answered like this, her expression and resentful tone have already explained a lot of problems.
"I heard from Professor Sprout that Umbridge almost didn't approve the seeds and plants she wanted, and she also gave a very formal written report." Wayne said slowly: (Zhao Hao Zhao) "Then when she rejected you, did she also have to write such a report?"
"That's right." Professor McGonagall nodded: "Like I said, this is a necessary process. She can find too many excuses, and it's barely justifiable. She can only passively accept it."
"Is that so." Wayne was thoughtful.
"Mr. Lawrence, do you have any opinions?" Professor McGonagall asked tentatively. She was annoyed by Umbridge. It was already tiring to face so many stupid students every day, and now someone was dragging her feet.
If she had been hot-tempered when she was young, she would have fought with Umbridge long ago. []
But the situation is very delicate now. Professor McGonagall knows that she cannot cause trouble for Dumbledore, so she has been enduring.
She has to endure, but Wayne doesn't have to.
Professor McGonagall suddenly realized that it is not a bad thing to have a fearless devil in the school.
To deal with bureaucrats like Umbridge, Wayne has to take action.
Suddenly, her eyes softened when she looked at Wayne.
"I do have an idea." Wayne smiled lightly and picked up a pen holder on the table.
"Professor McGonagall, have you heard of the legend of the invoice for eight million warriors?"
McGonagall: "???"
I am guilty. This one has fewer words and I am a little stuck. I have something in my mind, but it doesn't feel right when I write it down. It's too painful...
