HP: White Lord of Slytherin

Chapter 237 Angry Parents

After the last large-scale punishment incident, the Weasley twins no longer took the lead in making trouble. They were waiting for the opportunity that Gloria mentioned.

No one knew that on the day before the Easter holiday, letters of complaint and photos from students were delivered to their parents one by one through the house-elves.

On the first day of the holiday, Filch held Mrs. Norris and stood guard at the school entrance as usual.

He hummed a song and was in a very happy mood, especially seeing how quiet the students were recently.

"Meow-"

Suddenly Mrs. Norris called out.

"What's wrong..." Filch sniffed gently, and before he finished speaking, he looked up and saw a group of people walking towards him aggressively.

He quickly stood up. Could it be that the dark wizards were going to attack Hogwarts?

"Who are you?" Filch shouted.

The group stopped at the entrance, and a serious-looking woman with sleek hair in a bun said, "We are parents of Hogwarts students, and we are here to see Umbridge today."

She almost gritted her teeth when she said this.

Hearing that it wasn't a dark wizard, Filch was slightly relieved. "I didn't hear from Headmaster Umbridge that she needs to meet with parents today. I have to go back and ask."

Hearing the word "Principal", the serious-looking woman sneered, "Principal? No need to call her, let's go in and find someone directly."

A man nearby said, "We must go in, don't block the road!"

Seeing these people full of anger, Filch hugged the cat tightly, but he couldn't really let them in.

"No one who has not applied for approval or has not been approved by the principal can enter through this door!"

Some emotional students have already drawn their wands.

"Mr. Filch."

A figure walked out of the entrance. It was Gloria. She looked at Filch and said, "Go find Umbridge. I'll handle this."

Filch was worried, "But..."

"I'm one of the school's board members," she said. "I can handle it here, and you won't be implicated in any way afterwards."

Hearing this, Filch no longer hesitated and ran towards the castle with the cat in his arms.

Some excited parents still did not put away their wands.

"Calm down, you are the parents of the injured students, right?"

From her tone, the serious-looking woman knew something. "You sent the letter and photos to us?"

"Yes." Gloria said, "I am one of the school directors. I did this because the teacher sent by the Ministry of Magic was too rough in his teaching methods. He even used the power of the Ministry of Magic to drive away Headmaster Dumbledore. I had no choice but to tell you what happened in the school."

A male parent said: "Since you are the one who sent the things to us, you shouldn't stop us."

"Of course." She had waited for this for a long time. "Come with me."

A group of people followed her, with flames of anger burning in their eyes, but they were all trying hard to suppress their anger as they hadn't yet confirmed the truth.

On the other side, Filch ran to Umbridge's office panting.

"headmaster!"

Umbridge slowly put down the coffee cup and asked in a coquettish voice, "What is it?"

"Many parents of students have come to the entrance and said they want to see you." Filch panted, "I stopped them. Now Miss Slytherin is still guarding there."

Umbridge stood up suddenly, her already bulging eyes widening even more.

Filch stood there without daring to make a sound.

She remembered what she had done recently and quickly threw the quill in the drawer into the fireplace. She found that there was no fire today, so she quickly cast a spell to light a fire and then threw the quill in.

Then he took out a box of something from the cupboard and threw it into the fire.

Filch had excellent hearing, and he relied on it to patrol and catch students. At this moment, he heard some noise outside the castle.

"Principal, it seems they have all come in."

"How dare she!" Umbridge shouted, but she knew they would come to the office.

He did not even bother to watch over the quills until they were all burned. He said to Filch, "You watch here and make sure they are all burned!"

Filch trotted over to the fireplace and said flatteringly, "I won't let anyone in."

Umbridge then straightened her clothes, walked out of the office quickly, and locked the door.

Falling into the silence of the room, Filch quietly looked into the fireplace, where quills were twisted and charred under the licking of the flames.

Umbridge hurried to the lawn on the first floor and saw the obviously angry parents and Gloria who was leading them. She wished she could cast a spell to wipe out this annoying girl!

She stiffened her neck and said with the aura of a principal, "Even parents of students cannot enter Hogwarts School without permission!"

Some students had already noticed the situation here. One of the junior Hufflepuff boys seemed to have seen someone, ran out from the corridor, and quickly threw himself into the arms of a couple.

"Mom! Dad!"

The moment he saw his loved ones, all his grievances turned into tears and he hugged his parents and started crying.

The couple was heartbroken.

"Gilbert, tell us, did Umbridge really punish you with the Dark Arts?"

The boy named Gilbert raised his head, nodded with tears on his face, and raised his injured hand. Sure enough, there was a line of faint marks on the back of his hand.

Gilbert's mother breathed heavily and touched her son's scar with trembling hands.

"You dirty piece of trash!"

The woman quickly ran up to Umbridge and slapped her hard.

Gloria had retreated to the back of the crowd. Umbridge could use her status as the headmaster to punish students at will, and she could also use her position as the senior deputy minister of the Ministry of Magic to suppress the teachers from raising any objections.

But when the evil deeds were proven, all her powers were useless in the face of angry parents.

Behind her, Rita Skeeter, disguised as a student's parent, urged people around her to take pictures quickly.

The scene was too shocking, so Gloria cast a soundproofing spell on the two of them so that no one could hear the sound of the camera being taken.

Rita, who had just quietly returned to the country these two days, was extremely excited because another big news was about to be born!

Gilbert's mother was restrained and only slapped her. Her husband went forward and hugged his wife.

"I will appeal to the Ministry of Magic and ask them what their intention is in choosing you as a teacher and even appointing you as the headmaster. Are you trying to ruin our children?"

"It's all slander!" Umbridge was so angry that her body trembled, "I didn't hurt any students!"

Gilbert's mother shouted, "Quibbling! We have received photos of the child's injuries and letters accusing you of allowing officials to use dark magic on students. We will not let this go!"

"This is an accusation without any evidence." Umbridge forced herself to remain calm. "The authenticity of your so-called photos and letters has not yet been verified by the Ministry of Magic."

"You're lying!" A Gryffindor student stood up. "The photo and the letter are real. You used a quill with dark magic to make us copy the sentences. The ink is the blood on the back of our hands!"

The students who were studying in the library and lounge gathered here after hearing the commotion, and all the students who were persecuted ran over.
