Chapter 352： joint hearing

In the office of the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, Umbridge was standing in the center of the room with disheveled hair and a sullen face, and around her, the rooms that were originally full of girly elements and fanciful were a mess.

Not only the ordinary decorations and furniture, but also the cat decorative plates that she spent countless efforts and money to collect have been smashed a lot.

These are all the results of her venting anger.

Umbridge himself is an extremely violent person, otherwise he would not be fainted in anger.

The reason why I didn't go crazy outside before was completely because I didn't want to destroy my image in the eyes of students.

After some venting, Umbridge, who had calmed down a bit, also began to think about the most important issue today.

What the Weasley brothers did this time not only hurt her physically and mentally, but also lost her face.

It is conceivable that after this incident, all the prestige she had fortunately established in the minds of the students will be lost, and there will be more and more people who dare to disobey her in the future.

The Ministry of Magic sent her to Hogwarts for only two tasks. One was to monitor Dumbledore and ensure that the Hogwarts students were loyal to the Ministry. The second is to find evidence that Dumbledore violated the law, and figure out a way to get Dumbledore from the position of principal.

And if she really loses all prestige, then the hope of accomplishing these two tasks will become extremely slim.

Thinking of this, Umbridge gritted his teeth, found a fairly neat roll of parchment from the inside of a messy office, and sat on the desk and began to write a letter.

In the current situation, she must apply for support. If the Ministry of Magic does not give her support, then she may only become a joke at Hogwarts!

At the same time, in the auditorium, Mike, Harry, and Hermione were sitting at a long table.

None of them spoke, everyone was in a daze, waiting for the Weasley brothers and Ron to return to the auditorium to tell them the results of this matter.

However, what they didn't expect was that they didn't wait for Brother Weasley, but they waited for the two people they didn't want to see at the moment.

"Mr. Weasley, Mrs. Weasley!" Hermione exclaimed as she looked at the two people who suddenly appeared in the auditorium, "Why are you here!"

"Professor McGonagall informed us that he wanted to discuss with us about George and Fred!"

Mrs. Weasley's face was gloomy and her voice was abnormally cold. The muscles on her face were still twitching when she spoke, seeming to be forcibly suppressing her inner anger.

The expression on Mr. Weasley’s face next to her is not much better, but Mr. Weasley’s expression looks more sad than Mrs. Weasley’s naked-eye anger. And disappointed.

Percy had a big quarrel with them because of work, and now they no longer live at home. They originally thought that the remaining son would have some directors, but they didn't expect George and Fred to get into this kind of thing now.

The arrival of these two made Harry and Hermione panic. Hermione stopped talking after the scream, not that she didn't want to speak, but that she didn't even know what to say at this time.

Harry was in the same state as Hermione. He lowered his head and rubbed the hem of his clothes vigorously, feeling extremely guilty in his heart.

"Mr. Weasley, Madam, how are you. I am MacTowny, friends of George and Fred, we have met before."

"Hello, Mike." Mr. Weasley took a deep breath. "We want to see George and Fred before we visit Professor McGonagall. Can you take us to find them?"

"Of course, George and Ron just read Mrs. Weasley's yelling letter, and they are writing a reply in the dormitory. I will take you there now." Mike nodded and agreed, "But this is not the whole story. Blame George and Fred, you are his parents, and you must know that they are not the kind of people who attack the professor for no reason."

"Well, this is not a place to talk," Mike looked around. At this moment in the auditorium, it was a lively time. Everyone was watching this side, and they were still whispering constantly. "We said as we walked. Right."

Hearing that, the Weasleys nodded and followed Mike, the expressions on their faces did not change, they were still so gloomy.

It wasn't until Mike had Harry confined and the Weasley brothers told the Weasleys that they wanted to avenge Harry, their expressions eased slightly.

"Oh, this is indeed something that George and Fred can do. They both have been this virtue since they were young."

Mr. Weasley sighed and shook his head.

There was basically no anger on his face now, and it seemed that he basically agreed with the actions of the Weasley brothers.

But Mrs. Weasley is different. Although the expression on her face looks much better, she still keeps her anger, suppressing her voice and saying:

"They are simply crazy, even if it is to avenge Harry, they can't do this kind of thing! Don't they know that doing so at Hogwarts will expel them?"

Hearing that Harry's tears flowed down, he had guessed that the Weasley brothers were trying to avenge him, but now that he got the correct answer, the guilt in his heart can no longer be restrained.

Hermione looked worried, and she kept stroking his back next to him, her eyes kept on the back of Harry's hand, obviously, she didn't know the truth about Harry's copying sentences in advance. .

"Oh! Harry, I'm sorry! I don't mean to blame you!" Mrs. Weasley took out her handkerchief and wiped her tears distressedly. "I mean they are so smart and can get along well. There are other ways to deal with this matter."

The people were talking all the way, and soon came to Gryffindor’s lounge, and just as they were about to knock on the Weasley brothers’ dormitory, the door suddenly opened. The Weasley brothers and Ron Looked blankly at the group of five people who appeared at the door of the room with a dumbfounded look.

"Dad, mom! Why are you here!"

"Wipe your ass! Otherwise, what do you think we are here for!"

When I saw George and Fred, Mrs. Weasley, who was distressed just now, returned to her anger once, and when she came up, he scolded the Weasley brothers.

After talking about the tears of the three Weasley brothers, Mr. Weasley coughed slightly and said:

"Mike has already told us about the general situation. I don't want to blame you too much. After all, what you did was a righteous thing, but you were still too impulsive to tell me. Okay, let's not talk about it. The crux of the problem now is not what you did, but how we should solve it. According to my experience at Hogwarts, you have committed such a serious mistake. You two were basically fired. It’s a certainty."

There was a burst of blood in Mr. Weasley's words, and Harry's tears flowed again after hearing that, even Hermione and Mrs. Weasley's eyes were red.

"Ahem!"

At this moment, a light cough attracted everyone's attention, and when everyone heard the reputation, they saw Mike smiling and saying:

"Actually, you two don't need to care too much about this matter. After all, George and Fred are both very good people, and whether they are expelled does not have much impact on them."

"How can you do this..."

"Listen to me first, Mrs. Weasley." Mike waved his hand to stop the angry Mrs. Weasley, and then said, "The reason you are worried that George and Fred will be fired is nothing more than worrying about their future lives. , Isn't it?"

The Weasleys nodded.

"Then things are much simpler, isn't it? You know that George and Fred are both excellent scientific researchers in the Los Santos Group. They have a large number of product dividends in their hands. They can get more than these dividends every year. Five thousand Jin Jialong, you don’t have to worry about their future at all."

As soon as this remark came out, including Ron and Harry, everyone except the three insiders, Mike and the Weasley brothers, was shocked.

Especially the Weasleys, they actually knew that George and Fred had jobs in the Los Santos Group.

But in their opinion, George and Fred did not even graduate. This job should be a part-time job that Mike gave to them for the sake of a few people's friendship. If they survived, it was a summer job. Existence.

So now when they heard that George and Fred had turned into geniuses with an annual income of more than five thousand gold gallons, their three views were about to collapse.

"He... is what he said is true?" Mrs. Weasley's hands firmly grasped George and Weasley's shoulders, and she trembled, "You two can now earn 5000 gold gallons a year!?"

"Um, it's actually more than that," George said embarrassedly, "After all, we are still inventing new things."

Fred nodded frantically from the side.

This time the Weasleys were completely crazy, Ron stepped forward and grabbed George's collar while shaking vigorously, shouting:

"5000 Jin Jialong! You make so much money every year, you are not willing to give a little to your poor brother!"

Fred pulled Ron away and said helplessly:

"I remember that we gave a flying broom before? What's more, the money is not spent on our own. You must know that this is the start-up capital for our store."

"That broom is obviously a junk you eliminated! You iron cocks!"

"Okay, Ron, don't say it anymore. The time agreed upon by Professor McGonagall and us is almost up." Mr. Weasley rudely interrupted the quarrel between the brothers, "We will go back to the matter about your concealing income from us. I'll talk to you again later, now, let's go!"

After that, Mr. Weasley glared at George and Fred, then walked out of the lounge without his head.

...

In the Hogwarts principal's office, the Weasleys, Mike and others, and Professor McGonagall were sitting around a round table in silence.

The atmosphere at the scene was very depressing, and everyone except Mike was gloomy, especially the Weasleys.

If it is to change the time for another reason, they should take a good look at the principal's office that they haven't been to for a long time, but now they are really in no mood at all, especially when they have just been scolded by Professor McGonagall.

At this moment, the door to the office opened again, and Umbridge, who was very rare in a gray lady's suit, walked in with a gloomy face.

Upon seeing this, the Weasleys stood up and bowed to Umbridge.

"Sorry! Professor! We have no way to discipline!"

Umbridge looked at the two men who bowed to him and the Weasley brothers who were aggrieved by him, and the corners of his mouth began to rise.

"Are you Arthur Weasley? Prohibited abuse of Muggle Supplies Division?"

"Yes! Vice Minister!"

"You taught a good pair of sons!"

"I'm sorry! Vice Minister!"

"Hehe, don't say it, I also have a lot of old stories in the Department of Prohibition of Muggle Supplies, let's take a look."

Umbridge sneered, ignored the Weasleys who were still bowing, and went straight to the direction of Professor McGonagall.

The expressions on the faces of the Weasley brothers were not pretty. They couldn't figure out why their parents would be so humble. They should know the situation now, it doesn't matter if the two of them are actually expelled.

But what they didn't know was that even if the Weasleys knew that their sons had a bright future, they still hoped that George and Fred could complete their studies at Hogwarts.

Because based on their experience, school life is a rare experience in a wizard's life. They can tolerate their son's worrisome future, but they absolutely cannot tolerate regrets in the future.

And now the only way to keep their two sons at Hogwarts is to obtain the victim's-Umbridge's forgiveness, so they will treat the disgusting woman with that attitude.

"Professor McGonagall, I'm sorry to make you wait."

Umbridge put on a smirk again, nodded to Professor McGonagall, and McGonagall said blankly:

"Well, now that everyone is here then let's get started."

"Wait a minute," Umbridge interrupted, "Why are they here? (Umbridge looks at Mike and others) This is the trial of George Weasley and Fred Weasley. Is it? Irrelevant people should leave here."

"We are all friends of George and Fred," he replied before Professor McGonagall could answer Mike. "So Professor McGonagall specifically allowed us to watch."

"Oh?" Umbridge said with a smile, "It doesn't matter, the result will not change anyway. Professor McGonagall, please announce the expulsion of these two people. I don't want to see them anymore."

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the Weasleys changed drastically, and they hurriedly said:

"Ms. Umbridge!"

"Well, needless to say! No matter how you intercede, I will not change my position. Your son is destined to be expelled from Hogwarts!"

Mr. Weasley's face turned black, and at this moment, Professor McGonagall said calmly:

"Sorry, Umbridge, I'm afraid George and Fred can't leave Hogwarts yet."

"what did you say!?"
