Chapter 630 Is This What You Call a Sparring Partner?

Time passed by day by day, and it soon entered December.

During this period, Umbridge was still persevering in tracing the root cause of "Umbridge Syndrome". Even though the students at Hogwarts had greatly reduced the frequency of fast-acting skipping candy, she still did not give up.

"Fish, Hedwig is injured. Come and treat it quickly!"

One night, when Fish was about to go to the Forbidden Forest to teach Grawp English, Harry hurriedly came over with Hedwig in his arms. The white snowy owl was screaming, its feathers were messy, and one of its wings was bent. Fold.

"Can you please bear with me for a while?"

(ˇˇ)

Fish quickly took Hedwig, comforted him, and reset its broken wings, and then used the rejuvenation spell to heal its injuries.

"Gugu~"

After recovering, Hedwig flapped her wings happily, landed on Fish's shoulder, and gently pecked his ear to express her gratitude.

Fish shook his head gently, rubbed his cheek against Hedwig on his shoulder, then frowned and asked, "What happened? Why did Hedwig get hurt?"

(ω)

Others in the common room came over curiously.

As the messengers of wizards, basically no wizard would hate owls, let alone hurt them, so everyone was very concerned about who or what animal hurt Hedwig.

"I don't know," Harry shook his head blankly, then pointed to the fireplace and said cryptically: "'Cold' hasn't contacted me since the last time we chatted there, so I just asked him two days ago. I sent a letter to ask about his current situation..."

When Harry said this, he subconsciously looked at Hedwig's paw. Because he was worried about Hedwig's injury, Harry had forgotten about the letter. Fortunately, Sirius' reply was still tied to Hedwig. Wei's feet.

"Gu, Gu Gu... Gu!"

On the other side, Hedwig also let out a cry of grievance and told Fish the story of her injury.

"Hedwig said that when she flew back, someone used a magic spell to attack Meow."

(ˇˇ)

Fish repeated Hedwig's words with a serious face: "I don't know who attacked her. I only know that the curse was a cat that flew out from near the owl loft."

"Who else?!" Harry said angrily: "Besides Umbridge, who else in the school would attack our owl?!"

"You must tell Dumbledore about this!" Ron said with the same enemy: "Attacking an owl! This is a crime that will lead to being imprisoned in Azkaban!"

Others also agreed.

Hermione sighed and said: "But... we have no evidence... the Ministry of Magic will definitely not convict her because of our speculation."

Then she said to Harry: "You should try to send as few letters as possible in the future. Umbridge is probably targeting you... Even if you have to send letters, don't use Hedwig anymore, use the owl in the school instead." "

"Gu——!"

Hedwig let out a cry of dissatisfaction and tried to peck Hermione, but was calmed down by Fish.

Harry also nodded solemnly while comforting Hedwig.

Mad-Eye Moody had actually warned them before, asking them to pay attention to letters being intercepted by the Ministry of Magic. However, nothing had happened for such a long time, so Harry gradually relaxed.

He took Sirius's reply letter off Hedwig's feet, gave it a few words, and then took it to the window and let it fly out.

Although there was no evidence to identify Umbridge, this matter was spread through the mouths of Gryffindor students, and many students then told their parents about it.

Among them, many powerful families wrote letters to the Ministry of Magic to protest this matter...

Then Umbridge received another shouting letter from Fudge, which forced her to restrain herself.

It's just that these things happened behind the scenes, and the students in the school didn't know about it. After everyone complained about Umbridge and their impression of her worsened, they returned to normal campus life.

At the same time, Fisch's teaching work and the activities of the Cat Club continued.

The progress of the Cat Club is gratifying. Most of the members have already mastered the Disguise or Invisibility Curse, and about one-third of the members have mastered the Silent Curse.

Although most people's spells did not last too long, it was enough for them to avoid Umbridge's inspections and attend the meeting in the Room of Requirement safely.

In addition, Harry and other few students with invisibility cloaks also donated them for use by members who have not yet learned it, so the Cat Club has not only resumed practicing Defense Against the Dark Arts, but also organized special events. ...The latest time, they have been able to defeat the same number of XXX-level magical animals.

You must know that according to the classification of magical animals by the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures, the explanation for XXX level is that capable wizards can handle it.

In other words, according to the standards of the Ministry of Magic, the members of the Cat Club have at least reached the level of adult wizards in terms of Defense Against the Dark Arts.

Fisch was no less generous. After being patiently taught by Fisch, Graup was still unable to form complete sentences when speaking, but he was still able to communicate with others.

Hagrid, as his elder brother, was not idle either. He taught him some basic etiquette. With the intimidation of Fish and Fluffy, Grawp is now a gentle and honest gentleman... Of course, this is based on other giants.

After Grawp was able to communicate with people, the cat immediately ended his "teaching" career.

Fish's patience had long been worn out by Grawp. If he hadn't wanted to teach him from beginning to end like Professor McGonagall, the cat would have quit long ago.

Of course, when he was free, Fish didn't mind talking to Grawp, but he would forget about continuing to teach him... The cat still needs someone to teach him now!

Because Fish had been teaching Grawp before, he hadn't sneaked out with Hermione for a date at night for a while, so the two kittens started jumping up and down in the castle and the Forbidden Forest at night recently...

Hermione even reduced the number of cat club gatherings. Anyway, Christmas was coming soon, so she just let everyone relax a little.

After all, compared to cats, the training of Defense Against the Dark Arts is actually nothing big.

However, before Christmas, the Cat Club held the last special event before the holiday. Like the previous times, everyone came to the depths of the Forbidden Forest with the help of the house elves...

"So... this is the sparring partner you said is much weaker than Fluffy?"

The members of the Cat Club looked at the nearly five-meter-tall giant in front of them for a long time, and then questioned Hermione angrily.

Hermione nodded seriously and replied: "Yes, Fluffy didn't need to spend any effort to defeat Grawp... To be precise, Grawp didn't dare to fight Fluffy at all."

After staying with Fish for a long time, Hermione also became a little naughty. After she finished speaking, she covered her mouth and snickered.

But no one else thought her words were funny. Everyone had a messy expression in the wind, looking at the huge figure in front of them in despair.

Originally, I wrote about three chapters for this plot, such as Umbridge being complained about, Fudge's reaction, and the details of the meeting between the Cat Club members and Grawp...

But in the end, all of them were deleted and shortened to this chapter...So the second half is a bit sloppy, and I was not satisfied with it after several revisions. Anyway, it is a transition chapter, so leave it like this.
