The commotion lasted an entire afternoon.
Unlike dinner, which allowed plenty of time for students to visit the library or do something else before heading to the Great Hall, lunch was relatively short, so almost all the students were in the Great Hall when the commotion broke out.
As a result, everyone witnessed the spectacle.
And that was not all.
Umbridge, or one of her two lackeys, tried using a Vanishing Spell on the fireworks, and then the fun really began.
The enormous firework burst apart, turning into hundreds of Umbridge toads only half a meter tall. This triggered a chain reaction-yes, the other seven fireworks, which had not yet been attacked, burst apart as well.
For a time, thousands of Umbridge fireworks appeared inside Hogwarts Castle.
Unlike the previous giants, which had merely spun in circles together in midair, these smaller Umbridges were much more "lively." Their dancing movements were bigger, and they covered more ground, darting a long way off in an instant.
And once they turned into toads, they were even worse, hopping and bouncing everywhere.
Before long, spinning Umbridges and hopping toads were everywhere in the castle.
This undoubtedly caused a great deal of chaos, but what the students-at least the Gryffindor and R.B. students-found very amusing was that most of the professors did not seem particularly concerned.
They displayed an unprecedented lack of enthusiasm for dealing with these fireworks.
"Oh, Merlin. Merlin above." Professor McGonagall's face was full of scorn. At that moment, two Umbridges and two toads were dancing and hopping about in the Transfiguration classroom.
Whether by coincidence or otherwise, the four fireworks happened to be circling one after another. As the one in front spun and turned into a toad, the one behind it turned back into Umbridge. It was utterly ridiculous.
