In the deep and narrow corridor, only Elwyn and Harry were there. The sound of their footsteps echoed in the corridor.
"Elwyn, are we being too impulsive?" Harry asked worriedly.
He was just thinking of fighting with Umrich regardless of the consequences, but when Elwyn really did it, he had to admit that they were being too impulsive. What if they were expelled from the school?
Elwyn was almost the same as Hermione in this regard. They always abided by the school rules.
However, at every critical moment, the two of them were always the first to violate the school rules. They seemed to have no scruples at all.
Anyway, his mind was a mess now. Think about it, how would that woman deal with them?
"Don't be silly, Harry. As a friend, I can't just watch you being abused and do nothing." Elwyn said, "If I were really impulsive, I would just give her a curse instead of just leaving her office."
Anyone who saw that scene would be angry. Elwyn tried hard not to use magic.
The Hogwarts had their own rules that everyone had to abide by. They had the right to question the professor's punishment method, but they could not directly attack Umrich. Of course, if Umrich broke the rules herself...
Hearing Elwyn's words, Harry was touched. Although the back of his hand was burning, his heart gradually calmed down.
The worry and insecurity just now had disappeared without a trace. Compared to a friend who was willing to stand up for him against the professor, nothing else mattered. It didn't matter how the woman punished them.
"What should we do now?" Harry asked.
"Well, go to Professor Meg!" Elwyn said, "Tell her about it."
Not surprisingly, when Professor Meg knew what had happened, she was furious.
She asked Elwyn and Harry to stay in her office while she rushed out to quarrel with Umrich.
No one knew what she said to Umrich. When she came back, she looked terrible and her lips were tightly pursed.
"Potter, you will continue to be confined with Dolores Umrich tomorrow. She has the right to do so, but if she uses that quill or other similar things again, tell me immediately. That woman is simply unreasonable." She said sharply, "As for you, Mason, if you don't want to lose your badge as the president of the Boy Student Union, you have to control yourself. Don't clash with her again, or you will get into big trouble."
She adjusted her glasses angrily, looked at Elwyn and Harry, and sighed softly.
"The current situation of the Hogwarts is different from before. You have to be careful." Her tone was completely different from before. She was no longer as quick, straightforward, and strict as before. Instead, she sounded low, worried, and more human than usual. "That woman has the support of the Ministry of Magic. Even the headmaster... Sigh, in short, you have to keep your heads down and try not to cause any trouble. Especially you, Potter, control your temper! "
This seemed to be the end of the matter. With the intervention of Professor Meg, Umrich did not use that quill again, nor did she pursue Elwyn's responsibility. But would he really let it go?
Elwyn knew very well that Umrich would not let it go so easily.
If she could not even handle two students, how could she represent the Ministry of Magic and dare to confront the Hogwarts? What was the point of her coming here?
She was giving in temporarily because she was only a professor of Defense Against Black Magic and did not have the power.
However, she would have the power soon, and the Ministry of Magic was astonishingly efficient this time.
After Elwyn and Harry left, Umrich immediately wrote a letter to Foggy...
The contents of the letter and the impact it would bring would soon be known to everyone!
Along the way, Elwyn had been thinking about this matter, thinking about how to deal with Umrich.
This matter alone would not be able to affect Umrich and the Ministry of Magic, but if there was more evidence of her guilt...
When the two of them returned to the common room, Hermione and Ron were doing the homework that Snape had given them.
Since the matter was over, at Harry's request, they did not say anything about what had happened that night, lest Hermione and Ron worry. They thought that Harry was really just writing sentences, which did not sound like a terrible punishment.
As the night deepened and there were fewer and fewer people in the common room, Elwyn knew what Umrich was planning.
"Look outside!" Hermione suddenly pointed at the window closest to them.
They all looked up and saw a beautiful long-eared owl standing on the windowsill, staring at Ron in the room with wide eyes.
"Is that Hemes?" Hermione asked, clearly shocked.
"Oh my god, that's him!" Ron threw down his quill and stood up. "Why would Percy write me a letter?"
He walked over and opened the window. Hemes flew in and landed on Ron's paper, stretching out a leg with a letter tied to it.
Ron untied the letter, and the owl immediately flew away, leaving an ink-stained footprint on Ron's paper.
"Yes, this must be Percy's handwriting." Ron said and sat back in his chair, staring at the few lines outside the parchment: Hogwarts, Gryffindor College, Ron Weasley.
He looked up at Elwyn, Harry, and Hermione. "What do you think?"
"Open it!" Hermione said eagerly.
Ron opened the parchment and read it. His eyes swept along the parchment line by line, and his brows furrowed more and more.
After reading the letter, he had a disgusted look on his face.
He gave the letter to Elwyn, Harry, and Hermione, and the three of them gathered together to read it.
Dear Ron, I have just heard (from the Minister of the Ministry of Magic himself, who heard it from your new teacher, Professor Umrich) that you have become a Prefect of Hogwarts.
I am very happy and surprised to hear this news, and I would like to congratulate you in advance.
I must admit that I have been worried that you would follow the path of what we call "Fred and George" instead of following in my footsteps. So you can imagine how pleased I was when I heard that you have finally stopped despising authority and have decided to truly shoulder some responsibility.
But, Ron, I want to give you more than just congratulations. I also want to give you some advice.
I therefore sent this letter during the night, instead of by the usual morning post.
I hope that you can avoid prying eyes and awkward questions as you read this letter.
The Minister let slip a little when he told me that you were selected as Prefect. I heard that you are still hanging out with Elwyn Mason and Harry Potter. I must tell you, Ron, that if you continue to hang out with those two boys, you are in great danger of losing your Prefect badge.
Yes, I am sure that you will be surprised to hear this. You will no doubt say that they have always been Dumbledore's favorite students.
But I feel that I have to tell you that Dumbledore's days in power in the Hogwarts may not be long. The authorities have a very different and perhaps more accurate view of their behavior and the daily education of the Hogwarts, and whether there is a need for Dumbledore to remain in the Hogwarts.
