Fred's words instantly brought Ron back to this year's first Defense Against the Dark Arts class.
Mind you, Umbridge was truly irritating at the time, but nobody expected Harry to be so disrespectful to her, directly suspending her upside down in the classroom.
"Harry really is an expert in that regard," George said with a cheeky grin, "But more than Umbridge, I'd like to see Harry suspend Professor Snape next."
As soon as he said this, Ron immediately thought back to that time at the end of first year, the story Harry shared with him and Hermione about his father.
"I think it's better not to," Ron said sulkily, "He could suspend anyone at this school, but he shouldn't suspend Professor Snape."
"Why?" the twins curiously asked, "Is there something special about Professor Snape? Or does Harry have a great relationship with him? I don't think so..."
"Oh, not really," Ron scratched his head, "Harry once saw his mother's memories. His father James once humiliated Snape by suspending him upside down by the Black Lake, and this incident was also the beginning of the fallout between his mom and Snape—do you know why Professor Snape, being a Slytherin, can't stand Slytherins calling others 'stinky little Mudbloods'? That's the reason."
"Is that so?" The twins said in unison, their eyes turning bright.
This is such big gossip!
"I'm not sure of the specifics, but that's basically the situation," Ron said, spreading his hands, "Alright, we should go back now, we can talk about it more when we return to the common room—"
"It's indeed time to go back," George nodded, "Come on, Little Ronnie, you'd better put on the Invisibility Cloak and head back with your brothers."
The three of them thus walked back to the front of the common room door. It wasn't too late yet, and students were gradually returning from the library to the dormitories, while some who attended Astronomy Class had also just left the Gryffindor common room.
"It seems you two haven't caused any trouble today," Lady Pang said with a stern face, "Password."
"Mimbulus Mimbletonia," Fred answered with a smile, "And please don't overly concern yourself with other people's matters, thank you."
Lady Pang disdainfully opened the common room door, allowing them to enter.
"How goes it?"
Hermione, the class prefect waiting in the corner, saw them returning and hurried over to ask.
The twins merely grinned, and after a while, Ron emerged from the dormitory.
"Ha..." He said while yawning, "Who was looking for me? Was it you? Hermione? What's the matter?"
Hermione rolled her eyes; this guy... His vigilance is quite strong.
Nonetheless, commendable.
They sat in the corner, and Hermione asked in a whisper: "How did it go? Ron? Did you find it?"
"Found it," Ron whispered back, "Aren't you confident when I do the job?"
Fred and George hugged each other saying: "You absolutely wouldn't imagine what we've done, let alone what Ron has done! Oh my, we've just discovered that Ron is actually the gutsiest one!"
"What happened exactly?" Hermione asked curiously.
"Oh," Ron lowered his voice, "Not much, just used a Stunning Spell on Umbridge when I couldn't avoid her."
"What?!" Hermione shouted, and her voice drew all eyes upon them.
She immediately realized the impropriety and quickly whispered, "How dare you! Oh my God... Ron, you'll be expelled for this!"
"Don't worry, Hermione," Fred said casually, "Nobody knows who did it, and Umbridge didn't realize it was Ron who used the Stunning Spell on her. Just keep it to yourself."
"I still don't feel safe," Hermione tapped the table and said, "No way, once Harry returns, we must discuss a good plan with him... Speaking of which, what did you find in her office? What did she note in the professors' classes?"
"The first report is about Professor Snape..." Ron scratched his face and said.
"Does it praise Snape?" the twins asked in unison.
Ron shrugged, "It doesn't. She thinks Professor Snape is not a competent professor."
"Isn't that peculiar?" Fred clicked his tongue, "I thought they'd be on the same side."
"Not odd," Hermione nodded and said, "Professor Snape isn't as bad as that. Compared to her, I'd much prefer attending Professor Snape's Magic Potion class than being bossed around by Umbridge, that toad—I'd rather Professor Snape call me Miss Omniscient every day."
See, what's called having no comparison, then there is no harm...
"The second report was written about Professor Flitwick. Regarding Professor Flitwick, she didn't pick on any teaching faults but criticized his height," Ron said.
"Seems like she's just looking for something to say," Hermione frowned and said, "I don't understand, why does she always have to find faults? Does finding mistakes in others prove her own correctness?"
"Maybe she's simply a pervert," George said.
"The third report was about Professor Trelawney. She thinks Professor Trelawney is a fraud, someone Dumbledore brought to Hogwarts to collect salary for nothing," Ron continued.
"That's too much!" Hermione growled quietly, "Oh my god, how could she dare evaluate a Hogwarts professor like that? Does she think everyone is useless like she is?"
