The Hogwarts Emerald

Chapter 490 Plan
Umbridge was not the only one who felt proud, but also the Slytherins who were singing in the stands and the Slytherin players on the field.

Crabbe and Goyle giggled, and the bruised Draco Malfoy was very satisfied and even felt that the beating he received was worth it.

No matter how much protest or dissatisfaction there was, it was useless at this moment. No one in the school could change Umbridge's will unless Dumbledore talked to Fudge in person.

The Gryffindor students returned to the castle in collective silence.

On the way back, the little lions kept trying to provoke the Slytherins, wanting to fight with them and let them start the fight first. But the Slytherin students didn't respond at all, they just stood far away, laughing and mocking the Gryffindors.

"It's urgent, it's urgent!"

"The defense is broken, look, they are broken!"

Slytherin's laughter could be heard from afar, constantly attacking Gryffindor's psychological defenses. Fortunately, there were still calm people in Gryffindor who stopped the impulsive classmates around them, so that there was no large-scale conflict between the two houses.

If such a conflict breaks out at this time, regardless of whether Gryffindor can win or not, its fate will definitely be much worse than Slytherin's.

The furious Gryffindors returned to the common room, where they gathered in groups of three or four to vent their anger.

Ada and others sat in the armchairs in front of the fireplace, which was also the place with the lowest air pressure in the entire lounge.

Fred slammed his thigh hard and said angrily, "I should have been more ruthless earlier. I should have beaten that bastard into a pulp!"

He did not regret his irrational beating, he knew he could not bear it. If Fred could remain indifferent when his parents were insulted, he would not be himself.

George cursed angrily and said, "Don't let me see Malfoy in the corridor again. I'll beat him up every time I see him!" He acted like a school bully.

“It’s all our fault,” said Alia reproachfully. “We were so focused on Madam Hooch that we didn’t notice Umbridge.”

Well-trained and well-coordinated, one group took action while the other blocked the view, but they did not expect Umbridge to suddenly appear. During the game, Umbridge was not on the court.

"It's no use." Harry said, "Umbridge is targeting me. If it doesn't happen this time, there will be a next time."

From the first day Umbridge came to school, everyone knew what she wanted to do, but she was always restricted by the rules of Hogwarts and could not do anything.

Now that she is being subjected to endless educational orders, Umbridge, who has a legitimate reason to be a teacher, is about to start showing off her skills. Today's suspension is just a small test of her skills.

Angelina pulled her hair anxiously, and all her braids were tangled up, like a mad woman.

She said painfully: "Now is not the time to regret not being ruthless enough, nor is it the time to argue about who is at fault. I just want to know what we should do next time!"

Having lost a seeker, two beaters, and a substitute at once, Angelina, the captain, couldn't even start for the next game, let alone win.

For the Gryffindor Quidditch team, this situation is like the mother of the monkey, the baboon.

Angelina Johnson, how miserable she is.

Hearing this, the twins and Harry all lowered their heads and kept silent. None of them had expected that this impulse would cost them such a heavy price.

Fights on the Quidditch pitch happen from time to time, usually Gryffindor vs Slytherin, Ravenclaw vs Slytherin, or Hufflepuff vs Slytherin.

Gryffindor and Slytherin had the most conflicts. Usually the punishment was detention, which lasted a little longer at best. Who could have expected Umbridge to show up and ban them for life?

"Ginny can be the Seeker. She will give you a surprise, Angelina." Ada said, "You should find two more Beaters to make up the number."

As she spoke, she reached out to touch Ginny's head. Ginny wanted to slap Ada's hand away, she was no longer a child. But every time Ginny reached out to stop her, Ada would withdraw her hand in time, and Ginny, who was unable to react in time, could only slap the top of her head.

In just a short while, Ginny was already furious with Ada's teasing.

"That's all I can do. I'll go back and look at the last selection list to see if I can find two normal people." Angelina said, "Hey, where's Ron? Where did Ron go?"

Everyone looked at each other, and even Harry didn't know where Ron had gone.

When the final whistle sounded, Ron left the court dejectedly. Everyone was celebrating at the time, and then there was a conflict with Slytherin and Umbridge's punishment. No one noticed where Ron went.

"He must have hidden himself..." Hermione said weakly, "I guess. He behaved very badly today, and he must be very sad..."

Angelina sighed helplessly and said, "Hermione, Ron is now in your hands. Find him. I've already lost the Beater and the Seeker, and we can't lose the Keeper."

After saying that, the depressed Angelina walked towards the dormitory, and Alia and Katie followed her. They both wanted to help Angelina.

After saying something to Ada, Hermione walked out of the common room. She was going to look for Ron who was hiding. Harry followed Hermione's footsteps and left unhappily.

Suddenly, only Ada, the twins, Lee Jordan, and Ginny were left by the fireplace.

"What do you think, Ida?" George asked. "Don't tell me you're just going to swallow this anger. I don't believe it."

Since the beginning of the stadium, Ada has never expressed any opinion on this matter, and has not even scolded Umbridge. This is very wrong.

The words "suffering in silence" and "accepting everything" are not suitable to describe Ada.

"What can I say? Being banned is a foregone conclusion unless Fudge resigns from the position of Minister and Umbridge gets out of school." Ada said, "Dumbledore doesn't do anything, what can I do?"

Everyone was dissatisfied with Umbridge's evil deeds, while Ada was dissatisfied with Dumbledore's inaction.

As the headmaster of Hogwarts and the greatest white wizard, Dumbledore allowed Fudge and Umbridge to do whatever they wanted in the school, making it a mess. This behavior was really hard for Ada to accept.

Don’t talk about the overall situation, bullshit overall situation!
It was because of Dumbledore's so-called overall perspective and his repeated retreats that Fudge dared to advance further and finally extended his claws into Hogwarts.

If Ada and Dumbledore were to switch places, Ada would break Fudge's claws the first time he tried to test her bottom line, and if he tried a second time, Ada would definitely break Fudge's neck.

"Don't say those useless things. You can't convince Dumbledore. Just tell me what you want to do!" Fred continued, "If you don't have any ideas, I'll write my name upside down!"

Ada rolled her eyes at the twins and said, "Do I need to teach you what to do and what not to do?"

The twins are best at playing pranks, mischief, and mastering school rules. As long as the two brothers want, they can make Umbridge feel uneasy for a moment.

"If you put it that way, we'll have something to work on," said Fred. "Let's stretch our muscles."

"You won't tell mom, right, Ginny?" George looked at Ginny beside him.

Ginny was worthy of being a product of the Burrow. She shook her head and said, "No, you can go ahead and do whatever you want. If you need anything, I can keep watch for you and help you divert Filch's attention."

Lee Jordan was also ready to give Umbridge a surprise.

Seeing the twins and Lee Jordan eager to try, Ada stood up and prepared to leave the common room. She wanted to have a good talk with Dumbledore to find out what the headmaster was planning.
