"Ma'am, Peeves is hiding in the empty classroom on the fifth floor. It doesn't know where to get a batch of dung bombs. Please be careful of Peeves' sneak attack."
Filch, who suffers from rheumatism, tried to bend over to pay tribute to Umbridge, while reporting the latest on Peeves.
The expressions of the Aurors following Umbridge were a little unnatural. They recalled the scene of Umbridge and Fudge being chased and killed by big dung bombs not long ago.
No Auror wanted to experience such a bad thing himself.
"You asked Harry Potter to bring it to my office first, and said I had something to look for... What is that?" Umbridge was attracted by the strange statues placed in the hall as soon as he entered the hall. attention.
The Aurors followed Umbridge's gaze and saw a very strange statue on the right, which exuded a strange stench.
Everyone turned their attention to Umbridge again. The clothes on the statue were exactly the same as those on Umbridge. It was not difficult to see that this was the statue of Umbridge, but someone turned the head of the statue into a toad. brain.
In fact, as long as you carefully observe, you can find that there are many "secrets" hidden in this statue. The head of this toad is very similar to the new headmaster in front of him, and it also bears the symbol of "The Ministry of Magic is Power".
The overall image of the entire statue is a human-shaped toad, and the template of the toad is the one next to him, the famous senior investigator, the deputy minister of the Ministry of Magic, and the headmaster of Hogwarts.
Interestingly, all the things hanging on the toad statue are actually the latest education orders issued by the Ministry of Magic, as if they were afraid that others would not know. On Toad's chest is an educational decree that Fudge had just appointed Umbridge as the headmaster, and other signs could clearly see the content on it. They were all relatively important educational decrees.
Under the toad's flippers is the Hogwarts name and school badge, and the lower base is a rectangular stone engraved with the lyrics of "The Song of the Toad" and the signature of Dolores Umbridge and various " heroic" story.
"Who, who did it?" Umbridge looked at the toad statue in front of him, trembling all over.
"No, I don't know... Didn't this happen just now?"
Filch stared blankly at the statue in front of him. He dared to use his head to guarantee that there was absolutely no such statue just now.
"No, it can't stay here, smashed to pieces!"
Umbridge raised her wand and cast a Shattering Charm at the damned toad statue, which she was going to blow into a pile of ashes.
However, the moment the incantation hit the toad statue, it was bounced directly, like a bullet hitting a large steel plate.
Not only did Umbridge's eyes widen in disbelief, but several other Aurors also widened their eyes. They all saw this strange statue and cast the spell flying.
"Ma'am, there is strong magic on this statue to protect it from spells." Gadwin Robards looked up and down the statue of the toad, and could probably confirm from the thing in front of him what the Deputy Minister had at Hogwarts. Much hated.
He regrets it a little!
"Please help me dismantle this thing." Umbridge looked at the Aurors with a smirk, hoping they could help him solve the trouble.
The Aurors looked at each other and nodded to each other, without talking nonsense, they all took out their wands and chanted spells at the statue of the toad.
A series of explosive spells hit the toad statue.
However, the statue was not blown up as expected. Instead, the protective magic on the statue ruthlessly blasted the explosion spell into the air.
Not only did it cause a terrifying explosion in the entrance hall, but it also splattered the rubble from the entrance hall, which shocked the students who were in class in the entire castle.
"this"
The Aurors never thought that the Explosive Charm would be bounced off the statue in front of them.
"Um... can we remove the statue? We can throw the statue into the black lake." Filch hid behind the Aurors with Madam Norris in his arms, and was almost affected by the aftermath of the explosion just now.
"That's it." Umbridge agreed to Filch's proposal.
The Aurors soon discovered that various spells could not make the statue disappear at all, or simply remove the statue. Where is the statue of the toad still standing, like a flag that never falls.
"no."
"Someone used a permanent paste spell."
Gardwin Robards poked the statue with his wand and said to Umbridge, "It's not easy to get this statue away or destroy it."
"Is there no other way?" Umbridge asked irritably, she couldn't let this statue stay here, otherwise she would become a joke for the whole Hogwarts.
"Using powerful black magic may be able to destroy it." Prout reminded in a low voice.
"I don't want to see this thing anymore, try your way!" Umbridge said to the Auror.
"Sorry ma'am, I don't know how to use the Fiery Fire Charm." Prout said embarrassedly.
"Who will use the Fiery Fire Spell?"
Umbridge looked around at the other Aurors, but it turned out that no one knew this black magic, which made her feel tight in her chest.
Probably noticing Umbridge's angry expression, Gadwin Robards explained with a light cough: "Madam, the Fiery Fire Charm is a very evil and dangerous spell in black magic. It is notoriously difficult to control. Even most dark wizards don't have the courage to use the Fiery Fire Spell, because there have been countless cases of burning themselves to death due to the Fiery Fire Spell getting out of control, and once the Fiery Fire Spell gets out of control, it will cause a terrible disaster, probably... only It will take an hour to burn the castle to ashes."
The Fiery Fire Charm is indeed very dangerous, even a famous dark wizard would not dare to use it indiscriminately.
Naturally, the Aurors would not take the risk of trying such a dangerous spell, and they were Aurors, not dark wizards, and did not have the habit of using the Fire Spell to the death.
"so what should I do now?"
The smile on Umbridge's face became more and more dangerous. "Who do you think did this, the professor in the school, or..."
"There are very few wizards in the entire magical world who can achieve this level."
Gardwin Robards naturally understood the meaning of Umbridge's words, shook his head and explained: "I don't know if other professors can do it, but I think Dumbledore should be able to do it to this extent. In fact, It's hard for me to think of anyone other than Dumbledore."
"Where's Albert Anderson?" Umbridge suddenly said a name that disgusted her.
In fact, that guy is likely to do it too.
"Probably not."
An Auror waved his wand, conjured a piece of black cloth to cover the toad statue, and explained to Umbridge: "That genius is indeed very powerful, but he is too young, and he has not yet reached his peak in all aspects. If he's thirty years old now, it's possible he did it."
"It doesn't matter, I'll know when I call Mr. Anderson over and ask." Umbridge still had a fake smirk on her face. She mentioned Albert's name now just to detain the matter. on the opponent's head.
In Umbridge's view, Albert was equally suspicious.
With that said, Umbridge turned to Filch and said, "Excuse me, Argus."
"Okay ma'am, I'll go right now."
Filch put Mrs Norris on the ground and went to find Harry Potter.
A quarter of an hour later, under the confused eyes of Professor Flitwick and the other students, Harry reluctantly followed Filch out of the Charms classroom.
Before leaving, he shrugged at Ron and Hermione, signaling them not to worry, and reminded them to help him pack up later.
"What did Umbridge want me to do?" Harry asked casually, he could actually guess what Umbridge wanted him to do. There are only two possibilities for the toad to find him: confinement or torture for news.
But Harry wasn't afraid at all, because he didn't make a mistake recently, so it's definitely not confinement, the rest is torture news.
Torture news must use Veritaserum.
Since he missed the last chance, Harry took the antidote for Veritaserum with him, just in case the toads went crazy and troubled him one day.
"It's the headmaster," Filch corrected, his voice hoarse and gloating, "The situation here is changing, Potter."
"I don't see any changes, and a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor is not a good career." Harry said indifferently, "Especially the last few generations of Defense Against the Dark Arts professors have not had a good end."
While he was talking, Harry took advantage of Filch's not paying attention and poured out a few Veritaserum antidote into his mouth. He knew his chance was coming.
"Dumbledore has been too lenient with you. Look, things will be very different here with Umbridge in power, and the Minister of Magic has signed orders to expel Peeves," Filch squinted at Harry , and took him to Umbridge's office.
"Oh, really? But I doubt they'll be able to get rid of Peeves, and if they can, Peeves is no longer at Hogwarts." Harry poured out another sedative and threw it into his mouth. .
"If I were you, I would worry about myself first." Filch sneered.
Harry raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw four wizards from the Ministry of Magic outside the Defense Against the Dark Arts office, feeling that something was wrong.
Harry's mood quickly stabilized because he had just taken the tranquilizer. In any case, he was a wizard who had experienced wind and waves, and Voldemort didn't scare him. Umbridge was not worth mentioning when compared with Voldemort.
"go in!"
The Aurors glanced at Harry and directly opened the door of the Defense Against the Dark Arts office and let Harry in.
After Harry went in, he found that there were more Aurors in the Defense Against the Dark Arts office than outside, and he couldn't help but raised his eyebrows and teased, "This battle is really scary, people who don't know think you are going to interrogate prisoners in private."
Fear?
The blue veins on Umbridge's forehead bulged slightly. In Harry Potter's tone just now, she did not hear a trace of fear, but more of a strong disdain and ridicule.
Harry ignored the change in the expression on Umbridge's face, turned his head to look at the six wizards, and asked curiously, "Auror?"
The Aurors didn't speak, they all stared at Harry Potter.
"Are you catching Death Eaters?" Harry ignored the gazes of the others and asked with a smile, "Or do you think I'm a Death Eater?"
The office was dead silent.
"Forget it, it has nothing to do with me anyway." Harry shrugged and said, "It's normal that the Ministry of Magic can't catch Death Eaters."
To be honest, the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic disappointed Harry very much. In the last few contacts with Aurors, he only felt that these people were like dogs.
That's right, the **** who help people do bad things are similar to Goyle and Crabbe beside Malfoy.
Completely deviating from Harry's perception of Aurors, it is not like fighting against the dark forces as Moody, Tonks and Kingsley describe, but more like a group of disgusting people who bully the soft and fear the hard, which really disappoints him. .
"It's not yet your turn to point and point in our work."
A young Auror was breached first, and there was nothing he could do. Harry Potter's eyes were too shocking. It was a combination of disappointment, contempt, disgust and other complex emotions.
"What's your name?" Harry asked gently.
"what?"
"Name." Harry smiled even brighter.
"Enough Potter!" Umbridge yelled.
"Don't tell me? That's fine."
Harry took a deep look at the man, as if to remember the man's appearance.
"Please sit down, Mr. Potter!" Umbridge motioned for the Aurors to do it.
"To be honest, I used to want to be an Auror who fights against dark wizards." The smile on Harry's face became warmer: "The goal is to become an Auror..."
"You have no chance of becoming an Auror, and the Ministry of Magic will never..." Umbridge was interrupted before he could finish his words.
"Oh, it doesn't matter, I don't want to be an Auror for the time being." Harry interrupted with a smile: "I heard that the Ministry of Magic was located near the cesspit when it was first established, and the entrance was also set up near the public toilet. This matter is that true?"
"Enough Potter!" The veins on Umbridge's forehead jumped up. She had never found Harry Potter so annoying as she did now, although every sentence was calm~www.mtlnovel.com~ but listen It's very jarring up there.
"Oh, it seems to be true, it's surprising!" Harry's tone was full of surprise and disbelief.
"Okay, Potter, stop talking nonsense, drink it, and answer a few questions for me, and you can leave." Umbridge said sullenly, and his tone was full of indulgence. .
"Even if you use Veritaserum on me, you won't get any useful information from me." After Harry finished speaking, he picked up the glass of pumpkin juice and splashed it on the carpet, looking at Umri with a distorted expression. Qi, reminded with a smile, "Let's change a cup, you only need three drops of Veritaserum, too much is not good for the brain, I don't want to become an idiot because of too much Veritaserum. Don't look at me like that, some people say you are a devil Failed the drug test. Well, yes, that's what Snape said, the last time he complained about the abuse of Veritaserum, he didn't even know a few drops."
After speaking, Harry picked up the kettle next to him, poured some water into the cup, and put it in front of Umbridge with a gesture of please.
Umbridge's anger rose, but he still managed to hold it back. After glancing at the Aurors who pretended not to hear, he took out the vial again.
"Remember, three drops." Harry reminded kindly.
Umbridge's cheeks twitched, but he put three drops into the cup anyway.
Harry picked up the cup, drank it all in one breath, and sat quietly in the chair, waiting for the next "torture"!
