He whispered his discovery to Cedric and Conna.
"You an... this is false information?" Conna said in disbelief. "The culprit isn’t Antonin Dolohov, but soone else?"
"I think, that’s probably right." Kael nodded, "Otherwise, why do you think Umbridge suddenly got so brave."
"Did you know they would do this?" Cedric asked, "So this is Fudge’s plan, to bla what others did on the Death Eaters?"
"Well, sort of." Kael said, "But it’s also beneficial, at least it reminds everyone not to forget that the Death Eaters are still lurking in the dark."
After such a long ti, the students at Hogwarts seed to gradually forget about You-Know-Who, but after reading today’s newspaper, they finally rembered again.
In no ti, the castle was once again engulfed in panic.
But so were skeptical, like those who knew Umbridge, such as Harry from Gryffindor, and Ron.
"She doesn’t seem like the type to do such a thing." Harry said emphatically.
When it ca to confronting the Death Eaters, no one was more familiar than him; the Order of Phoenix was all about this.
And Umbridge... to be honest, Harry couldn’t connect her with the Order of Phoenix mbers or the Aurors no matter what.
"But that’s what the newspaper says." Hermione flipped through the Daily Prophet over and over, as if hoping to find sothing they missed in the corners.
But even after almost pressing her face to the newspaper, she found nothing.
"The newspaper says Umbridge led a team of Beaters to the street as fast as possible, and many people saw it."
"The information in the newspapers could also be fake." Ron said, "Rember? They insisted not long ago that You-Know-Who hadn’t co back."
"Exactly." Harry nodded. He steadfastly refused to believe that Umbridge would do such a thing.
It’s just as impossible as Snape awarding points to Gryffindor.
Just like them, many others also rembered the long-absent Headmaster Dumbledore.
Since morning, the castle was abuzz with discussions.
"Who rembers when the headmaster left the school?"
"Don’t know, it’s probably been a long ti."
"I rember he didn’t appear after the Christmas holidays."
"No, it was mid-February..."
"I think it was March."
...
Everyone had different opinions, but the only sure thing was that with Dumbledore absent from the school, it always felt much less safe.
But soon, they had no ti to think about these things anymore.
Because the Easter holidays arrived.
As a tradition at Hogwarts, the two-week Easter holiday was more like a howork frenzy.
The professors seed to be engaged in a competition to see who could push people to the brink of collapse the most, rcilessly assigning howork.
Everyone was numb looking at the holiday assignnts, as just the requirents filled an entire Parchnt.
"Are the professors crazy?" Mikel shivered, "There’s so much howork, we can’t finish it in a month."
"Then we’ll just have to stay up all night writing." Ryan glanced at him expressionlessly, "Don’t forget, the Easter holiday is only two weeks."
"Oh!" Mikel let out a wail of anguish.
That’s how it was for the sixth years, let alone the fifth years about to take the OWLs.
Hermione originally planned to hold a few more DA etings during the holidays, but after seeing the amount of howork, she directly crumpled up that schedule sheet.
Impossible, no one would want to join any etings at this ti, which could be seen from Harry’s and Ron’s reactions.
The two sat numbly in armchairs in the common room, as if they’d been hit by a Petrification Spell.
"What are they doing, why bother having a holiday." Ron said hoarsely.
"I think the professors probably want to forget about You-Know-Who and the Death Eaters." Hermione said.
"Well, they’ve succeeded." Harry sighed, "In these two weeks, we probably won’t think of anything other than howork?"
"Hermione..." Ron suddenly lifted his head, hopefully saying: "You’re our only hope now."
"You should write it yourselves..." Hermione said half-heartedly, and then inadvertently glanced at the assignnt list again, "Alright, I’ll try, but you better not count on for everything."
"Of course." Ron and Harry said hastily: "We’ve even canceled Quidditch practice."
In fact, not long ago Angelina Johnson had co to them about this, as she was in seventh year preparing for the NEWTs, she had not only to write assignnts but also to find ti to review, much busier than the fifth years.
