The Clever Use of Polyjuice Potion

Fudge was impeached, but he managed to prevent the impeachment bill from passing thanks to the reputation he had built up over the years.

But he himself became anxious.

Some time ago, he was the one who drove Dumbledore out of Wizengamot, and now the enemy has gathered strength to launch a counterattack and settle scores!

Moreover, once it happens, it will happen again.

Human nature is fickle; if it doesn't succeed this time, who knows what will happen next time.

Dumbledore was able to return to the position of Grand Master of the International Confederation of Wizards thanks to Stark, but Fudge knew perfectly well that he didn't have that kind of backing, and that he could return again after being impeached and removed from office.

Fudge didn't sleep all night; he was so anxious that his hemorrhoids flared up.

Early the next morning, he hurriedly issued orders for Umbridge to speed things up and expel Dumbledore and Stark from Hogwarts.

Umbridge also had her own difficulties. After thinking about it, she decided that since Stark was difficult to deal with, she should start by dealing with the people who were looking for him.

So after missing two days of classes, she hurriedly returned to teaching.

But the original textbooks are no longer usable.

With so many mistakes, and Stark pointing them out and labeling them so harshly, if they continue using this method, wouldn't it confirm that they themselves also have problems?

Umbridge thought for a moment and said, "Since you're unwilling to learn theoretical knowledge, let's do something profound and incomprehensible."

She used the excuse that the new textbooks were still being compiled to have students read papers published in various magazines.

These aren't ordinary academic papers; they're articles by famous wizards.

can't read?

That's okay if you don't understand!

You haven't even finished seven years of compulsory education, how can you possibly understand articles published by top experts in top journals?

Umbridge is designed to be incomprehensible to students, so they can't learn anything from it, and it's guaranteed to be error-free.

But the students had a countermeasure: they would pretend to ask questions about technical terms.

Umbridge couldn't understand it either, and after giving a few nonsensical answers, she was repeatedly ridiculed by William until she cried.

Then, the whole of Hogwarts began to spread:

Umbridge's Defence Against Dark Magic (OWL) score is the first ever to receive a "T".

What is "T"?

The "T" stands for Troll, and also Trelawney.

Good grief... three people were attacked at the same time. Professor Trelawney really got caught in the crossfire for no reason.

Umbridge quickly changed tactics again, finding articles that everyone could understand.

For example, a paper published by Nicolas Flamel in the 1930s:

Optimization of Cooking Process Parameters for Kung Pao Turkey.

That's right, this really was something Nicolas wrote when he had nothing better to do.

He even published the book "Fantastic Beasts in the Pot" and its sequel, "Fantastic Beasts in a Bowl," based on this paper.

Also, Dumbledore's article—"Social Cycles and Conditional Responses in Rock-Paper-Scissors Game"

The principal has published numerous works, including countless academic papers in his lifetime.

Not all of them are related to magic; occasionally, they'll take a different approach and present something quite unique.

Umbridge took it and had everyone read it aloud.

Even Professor McGonagall wasn't spared; Umbridge found an article she published in fifth grade.

"The Cat That Never Exists: The Identity and Fantasy of Online Cat Lovers"

Definitely a Gryffindor girl's embarrassing past.

Umbridge, the old master of torment, is at it again, causing trouble.

Snape only accepted students with grades of "O", while Umbridge looked at too few students and simply lowered his standards.

William had already guessed this, but unfortunately, he only guessed the beginning, not the end.

Umbridge accepted all applicants, requiring all sixth-year students to take the Defence Against Dark Magic course.

Marietta, who had been secretly relieved that she hadn't chosen this course, was suddenly dumbfounded.

All the students saw through Umbridge.

Even the worst of the Quirrell and Lockhart duo, they're a hundred times better than her.

Despite his stutter and the smell of garlic, Quirrell at least knew some magic.

Everyone teased him, but it also brought a lot of laughter.

Although Lockhart was a conman, he had a talent for acting, and his stage plays were barely watchable.

What about Umbridge?

Besides pretending to be a toad, all it does is whine and make disgusting noises.

Students from every grade harbored deep resentment towards her.

During a class one day, Harry finally couldn't contain his anger and launched a suicidal attack on Umbridge.

In class, he not only yelled at Umbridge, but also told her:

Voldemort is back, and he will attack everyone.

And he told Umbridge that Voldemort was almost killed by William...

Umbridge outwardly appeared furious, but inwardly he was secretly delighted, finally having caught someone red-handed.

She deducted fifty points from Gryffindor and then put Harry in detention on Saturday.

That evening, in the Room of Requirement, William couldn't help but facepalm as he heard Hermione describe the classroom.

Harry is still so impulsive, showing absolutely no signs of maturity.

William will not be punished because he did not actually confront Umbridge; instead, he sought out weaknesses in Umbridge's territory.

But Harry refused.

His goal was to get Umbridge to admit that Voldemort had been resurrected.

Not only will it be a waste of effort, but it will also only result in setbacks and losses.

Didn't that get him locked up in solitary confinement?

William put away his notebook, waved his wand, and conjured a table.

Hermione placed the dinner she had brought on top of it.

William has been so busy preparing to make the Philosopher's Stone that he hasn't even had time to eat dinner.

That's right, after so many years of study, William finally began to brew his first Philosopher's Stone.

However, crafting the Philosopher's Stone requires many complex materials, all of which must be prepared in advance.

He is currently making preparations.

Having been hungry all afternoon, William wolfed down his food.

Hermione helped William put some food on his plate, then rested her chin on her right hand, quietly watching the young man with a slight smile on her lips.

William poured her a bowl of porridge and said with a smile, "You should eat some too, otherwise, like last time, you'll be up until midnight and then complaining of being hungry again."

"So I had to make you a midnight snack."

"No way! I just happened to not be full that time!"

Hermione blushed slightly, glared at William, but obediently picked up her bowl and took a few sips.

William held a piece of cake and asked doubtfully, "What is this?"

"The roujiamo (Chinese meat sandwich) made by the House-elf is supposedly a new technique they learned abroad," Hermione explained.

William was speechless.

You call this a roujiamo (Chinese hamburger)? It doesn't even qualify as a roujiamo with minced meat inside.

You learned this skill from McDonald's's, didn't you?!

William took a big bite of the pancake and chuckled indistinctly, "This is really awful. After we graduate, I'll take you to eat the most authentic kind."

The pancake was crispy, and there was plenty of meat... it was so fragrant and delicious!

"Okay." Hermione grinned, took out a handkerchief, and wiped William's mouth.

The simple dinner was quickly coming to an end.

William continued the previous topic, asking with a puzzled look, "Then why were you also locked up by Umbridge?"

Hermione waved her wand, and the table, like a crab, scurried towards the corner. She shrugged and said:

"I wasn't studying at the time; I was just reading your notes on Occlumency, and Umbridge saw them... so she put me in solitary confinement."

William pondered for a moment, then extended a finger and lightly tapped his wand. The soft tapping sound had no discernible rhythm.

After a moment, he said, "The visitor is hostile; that old woman is deliberately causing trouble."

"I'll go put her in solitary confinement for you this time, and see what she's up to."

"Well, but..." Hermione couldn't help but blink and laugh, "Are you sure you can play me well?"

She impersonated William using Polyjuice Potion, and the impersonation was so convincing that, apart from Anne, most people couldn't detect anything amiss.

But William becoming Hermione... the two of them had tried it many times in private when they had nothing else to do.

But it's hard to say when facing outsiders.

"It shouldn't be a problem. I'm very familiar with your habits and way of speaking," William said confidently.

His understanding of Hermione was thorough, inside and out... it couldn't be wrong.

"Alright." Hermione smiled and beckoned, "Come on, let's continue practicing Occlumency."

"Hmm... you need to try harder." William grinned. "I always manage to break your defenses. I've already seen a lot of little secrets in your memory."

For example, the Christmas you turned into Catwoman, you secretly kissed me while I was asleep.

Hermione was slightly embarrassed and annoyed, but still spoke softly:

[Read Books and Get Red Envelopes] Follow the official WeChat account [Book Lovers' Base Camp] to read books and win a cash red envelope of up to 888!

"I told you I already gave you a Christmas present, you just didn't notice."

"And I saw other secrets too," William said smugly.

Seeing that he was about to reveal his dark past, Hermione yelled and suddenly jumped on the boy.

She grabbed William's head, ready to deliver a suffocating blow to his chest!

The girl softly scolded:

"Idiot~"
