Raven's Claw at Hogwarts

Chapter 362 Night Attack
Just when Umbridge was complacent about punishing an ugly cat.

In the darkness, a pair of big black hands suddenly stretched out, and put a cloth bag on Umbridge's head.

Everyone around Umbridge was taken aback, and several girls screamed instinctively, and everyone immediately dispersed, looking in horror at the almost invisible figure in the darkness and the pair of exposed eyes. The big black hand under the light, the eyes are full of fear.

You must know that they were right next to Umbridge just now. It stands to reason that the person who attacked Umbridge was so close, they should have been discovered by them long ago.

But the man came to him without anyone noticing.

'This must be a stealth master! '

Thinking of this, Harry suddenly felt a burst of cold sweat on his back.

Umbridge, who was suddenly attacked on the other side, was also in a panic at the moment. He was in a hurry and wanted to reach out to grab the sack on his head.

However, more people emerged from the darkness. They all wore Hogwarts school robes, but did not wear anything that could prove that they belonged to the college, and each of them had a mask on their face. The snow-white baseball mask looks terrifying.

A few of them punched and kicked Umbridge, and Umbridge screamed again and again.

It was only at this moment that Umbridge remembered that he was a wizard. In the confusion, Umbridge waved the wand that was still shining brightly in his hand.

Seeing that the light on Umbridge's wand became more and more intense, a red light flashed away, and then the wand in Umbridge's hand spun and flew out.

The wand went out in mid-air, plunging the hallway back into pitch-black darkness.

And in this darkness, there were constant sounds of fists and kicks hitting the flesh and Umbridge's screams. These two sounds were mixed together, which made Harry and the others very excited!

They had no intention of saving Umbridge!
"You are dead! You are dead! Ah! No matter who you are, I will send you to Azkaban!"

Umbridge yelled, and he didn't know if it was an illusion. After Umbridge said the threatening words, Harry felt that the frequency of the sound of fists, feet and flesh colliding in the darkness seemed to become faster.

"Fight! Fight!"

In the darkness, Ron was clenching his fists and cheering for those masked men, wishing he could go up and kick Umbridge himself.

And beside them, there are actually many such people, but none of them really dare to take advantage of the chaos to take revenge.

They were all terrified by Umbridge's punishment!

After less than 5 minutes of the miserable beating, Umbridge began to beg for mercy, and Harry heard that her voice was still getting weaker and weaker, and it seemed that she was about to die.

Seeing the mask, the people stopped one after another, and Umbridge finally calmed down. He stopped talking and lay on the ground panting continuously.

From that look, she seemed to have lost the strength to reach out to lift the cloth bag on her head.

"Go to sleep."

Mike, who was also wearing a black robe and a mask, walked out of the darkness while speaking, and at the same time gestured with his right hand in mid-air.

A gray glow shot out from his fingertips and hit Umbridge straight, knocking her unconscious.

Harry and the others looked curiously at the masked man who emerged last and was able to cast spells silently and without a staff.

For some reason, Harry always felt that the voice of the masked man in front of him was very familiar. Coupled with the fact that the man in front of him could cast spells silently and without a staff, a bright smile suddenly appeared on Harry's face.

He felt that he should already know the identity of the other party!
"wheat……"

Harry instinctively wanted to call the other person's name, but Hermione who was beside him suddenly covered his mouth and made a 'shh' gesture to him.

Harry, who had calmed down, also realized that if he had just called out Mike's name in public, it would definitely cause Mike great trouble.

You must know that among these people present, there are quite a few big-mouthed ones!
"Snapped!"

With a crisp sound, flames suddenly burst into the dark corridor.

Harry looked intently and saw that the masked man who had put the sack on Umbridge in the first place was walking towards this side with a cluster of flames in his hands, and the source of the flames in his hand was a lighter!

"Listen up! No one is allowed to tell what happened tonight!" The man deliberately lowered his voice and threatened Harry and the others, "I have already remembered your faces! If you let me know who dares to go out Nonsense, you will be the next to be beaten!"

It was said that many people looked at Umbridge lying on the ground, not knowing whether he was alive or dead, and they nodded in horror.

Harry wanted to laugh very much, because according to the person's skin color, he already knew the other person's identity——Franklin!
On the other side, Mike didn't approach Harry, but took advantage of Franklin's brainwashing of Harry and others to come to Mrs. Norris who was still struggling and screaming on the ground.

Umbridge used the Earfold Curse on Mrs. Norris, which is a curse that can be classified as a prank curse. As the name suggests, its function is to fold the ears of creatures. For humans, this kind of curse The curse is not a big deal except for some discomfort, but for a creature like a cat, this curse can cause a lot of pain to it, which is why Mrs. Norris is still screaming until now s reason.

And because the ear-folding curse is a curse, it is extremely difficult to get rid of this kind of curse, and ordinary mantras will not work against it at all!
Seeing Mrs. Norris' miserable state, Mike frowned under the mask.

He couldn't figure out why Umbridge would do anything to such a cat.

"All curses end."

As the spell sounded, bands of light floated out from Mike's fingertips, wrapping Mrs. Norris inside.

At the beginning, Mrs. Norris was still struggling because of the pain, but when the light bands quickly dispelled the curse, Mrs. Norris gradually calmed down.

Finally, Mrs. Norris regained her freedom, and the first thing she did after she regained her freedom was to jump on Umbridge's body with a swoop, and paw at Umbridge's exposed calf!

The fainted Umbridge didn't respond. Seeing this, Mrs. Norris went down with her two paws again, and it didn't stop until it scratched Umbridge's calf into blood.

At this time, Franklin's ideological education to Harry and others was also over, and the masked people dispersed one after another, and Mike himself quickly left the crime scene after nodding towards Harry and the others, leaving Harry and the others alone. The people stayed where they were and looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

"Meow meow!"

Mrs. Norris kept yelling in the direction Mike left, and the voice seemed to be thanking her.

Hermione's love was so great that she instinctively wanted to squat down and touch Mrs. Norris's head, but just as she stretched out her hand, she was more dexterous, and the latter even hissed at Hermione tooth.

"What should we do now?" Looking at Umbridge lying motionless on the ground, a boy said worriedly, "Should we tell Professor McGonagall? Or should we send her to the infirmary?"

"Are you crazy!? She tortured us just now, and now you want to send her to the infirmary? Doesn't the wound on your hand hurt?"

Ron retorted angrily, and the others around him desperately agreed.

"If you want me to say, let's just go back as if nothing happened? As for Umbridge, let her sleep here for one night."

"That's right! Let's do it!"

"Yes, anyway, the masked man also told us just now, if we tell the story, we will be beaten by Sap. If the professors really ask us this question, we can use this excuse to fool us!"

"that's right!"

"Just do it!"

The students quickly reached a consensus, so everyone happily left the fourth floor, leaving only Umbridge lying on the cold floor of Hogwarts with a coarse sack on his head.

……

Near noon the next day, Umbridge was finally found by his Slytherin classmates and sent to the infirmary.

After being rescued by Madam Pomfrey, Umbridge's injuries were also announced.

Internal bleeding, multiple fractures, severe head bruising, severe concussion...

Professional terms came out of Madam Pomfrey's mouth one by one, which made McGonagall's head hurt a little.

Shaking his head, Mag turned his gaze to the onlookers who were whispering outside the infirmary door. These people were having a heated discussion about Umbridge's injury at the moment. Everyone described Umbridge's tragedy, and as wonderful adjectives flew out of their mouths, there was laughter all around.

Seeing this, Mag's head hurt even more.

In fact, Slytherin was not the first to discover Umbridge. People from the other three colleges had discovered Umbridge passed out in the corridor long before them, but none of them chose to report to the professor. , but invariably chose to watch the excitement, and some bold people even stepped forward and lifted the sack from Umbridge's head, so as to take a closer look at Umbridge's swollen pig's head.

This is why these people can now describe the scene at that time so carefully.

Afterwards, McGonagall also asked Filch. After all, the latter is the cleaner of Hogwarts. It stands to reason that he is the latest person to discover Umbridge. After all, Filch does not know magic. Cleaning He has to get up and clean all the corridors and walls every day before dawn.

However, the answer he got from Filch was very strange, because he actually said that he did not go to the fourth floor corridor to clean that day, because Mrs. Norris tried to stop him from going to the fourth floor.

McGonagall still believed Filch's words. After all, Hogwarts was Filch's only home. There was no need for him to tell such a lie, because once the lie was exposed, he would be kicked out of Hogwarts. Become a homeless bum.

Thinking of this, Mag's lips pursed tightly.

Dumbledore disappeared without a sound, and did not appoint a temporary headmaster before leaving. Now that Hogwarts has no leader, he can only let himself be the top.

But judging from the current situation, this job is not easy!
"Umbridge is awake, she wants to see you!"

Madam Pomfrey came out of the ward and said this to McGonagall.

Hearing this, Mag took a deep breath and followed Pomfrey into the ward.

She had no clue about the whole thing, and now she could only see what information Umbridge could provide her.

Umbridge on the hospital bed was extremely miserable. Her face was wrapped in layers of gauze, leaving only her mouth and two eyes exposed. From the irregular bulge above, the flesh under the gauze should still be swollen.

The area from her neck down to her ankles is covered with a large amount of white plaster, which makes Umbridge now look like those exquisite statues of ancient Greece.

"She is coming."

Madam Pomfrey whispered indifferently in Umbridge's ear, but the latter immediately became excited when she heard the words, her eyes kept rolling and her lips were trembling, as if she wanted to tell others .

But due to the injuries and gauze on her body, the voice she said was just a series of inaudible noises to others.

McGonagall frowned, and waved her hand at Umbridge with a loud voice.

"Is it... Mai Ke... Candy... Greed for profit..."

Umbridge's vague words echoed in the ward, and McGonagall and Pomfrey looked at each other, both shocked by the answer.

"Are you talking about McTownley?" McGonagall confirmed. "He attacked you?"

Hearing this, Umbridge blinked his eyes crazily, tears even leaked from them, looking extremely aggrieved.

"I see!"

Pursing his lips, Professor McGonagall strode out of the ward, and said to a Ravenclaw first-year student under the curious eyes of countless students outside the door:
"Tell Mike to come to my office, now!"

As soon as this remark came out, the students who were watching around exploded. Everyone shouted excitedly, cheering that finally a hero stood up to resist Umbridge!
Professor McGonagall left after giving the order, without any intention of dispersing the crowd.

Harry, who was hiding in the crowd, clenched his fists and excitedly said to Hermione beside him:
"Let me just say it, that person last night must be Mike! Who else can use the silent spell and wandless spell so well in Hogwarts?!"

"What are you happy about?" Hermione rolled her eyes, "Now that Professor McGonagall has asked Mike to go there, he must have found evidence. Mike is in trouble this time!"

Hearing that the fiery look on Harry's face cooled down quickly, he stood there frowning.

Ron next to the two looked at Harry and Hermione with disdain, and said triumphantly:
"I really don't know what you're worrying about? Don't you know what kind of person Mike is? Professor McGonagall and Umbridge won't do anything about Max! Let me tell you, we're not here to worry about him Why not hurry up and find someone to join our cram school!"

Hermione and Harry nodded, and slowly squeezed out of the crowd, but the worried look on their brows still persisted. It seemed that they didn't believe Ron's words easily.
