Umbridge attached great importance to the information "pried" from the mouths of Harry and Ron, and brought the news back to the Ministry of Magic as soon as possible, and was highly praised by Fudge.
It is obviously quite difficult to kill the danger directly in the cradle.
But the Ministry of Magic can't let the elite Aurors go to fight with the eight-eyed giant spiders, especially in the ghostly places like the Forbidden Forest. Those giant spiders are even more dangerous than the dark wizards. Even the elite Aurors may be lost if they are not careful. Little life.
Therefore, it was extremely important to capture Fred and George, and get them out of their mouths to enter the secret base of the Order of the Phoenix.
"What if Albert Anderson came out to stop it?"
Before leaving, Umbridge did not forget to mention his concerns, "He is a good friend with Weasley, and I suspect that Weasley's actions may be helped by him. As we all know, Arthur Weasley The Lays are not rich."
"If Anderson tries to stop you from arresting Weasley, arrest him with him. I believe that spending a few months in Azkaban will completely clear his brain." Fudge said grimly, he absolutely Will not tolerate anyone wanting to pull themselves out of office.
"I'll take care of this." Umbridge returned to Hogwarts happily.
However, such a good mood did not last long, because the plan to capture Fred and George did not go well as expected.
Fred and George, who held the Marauder's map, were always able to evade the containment skillfully, and played Umbridge's group around.
The anti-toad movement at Hogwarts has grown even bigger, with more and more students joining in, always bringing new trouble to Umbridge.
As the only toad in the school, Filch has become the target of mischievous students, making Filch go to the hospital every day, and nowhere is going to become his new home.
"Damn it, **** it all."
At this moment, in the Defense Against the Dark Arts office, Umbridge was smashing things in the office furiously, venting his inner anger.
It was really hard for Umbridge to imagine that he was actually attacked by some despicable and shameless person. When he woke up, he found himself covered in extremely smelly mud, half-squatting like a comatose toad in the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom. On the podium, and on the blackboard behind, there were propaganda slogans of the Anti-Toad Alliance and the mark of Umbridge's toad spitting snake.
What angered Umbridge the most was that she had been standing on the podium for a class in that position, and no one was willing to help her lift the full-body restraint spell on her body.
"Ma'am, I'm afraid we have to find another way." Filch said sullenly. "It's not easy to catch those two little beasts by ordinary means."
This gentleman has given up on catching Fred and George by conventional means. Just a few days ago, he caught Fred and George in the middle of the night, and the two beasts directly spelled him in place. , and deliberately wet his clothes, which caused Filch to catch a bad cold and lay in the school hospital for several days.
"You're right, we have to find other ways to lure them out." Umbridge was also tired of this cat-and-mouse game.
She also found that she couldn't use the methods she used to deal with the students to deal with the Weasleys' little beasts, and they should be regarded as the most vicious dark wizards.
That's right, in Umbridge's eyes, Fred and George are worse than the dark wizards.
Because they are trying to subvert the Ministry of Magic.
It's just that Umbridge couldn't think of a good solution for the time being.
Just then, there was a knock on the door outside the office.
"Come in."
Umbridge restrained the emotion on his face and looked at the visitor with a smirk.
"Professor, there are bad rumors going around in the school." Malfoy said straight to the latest information he had just heard.
"What rumor." Umbridge had a bad feeling.
"Everyone is saying that Fred and George will return to school next month with a secret weapon that can drive you out of school and send you to Azkaban by the way." Malfoy said from Ron. After Li learned about this, he ran to inform Umbridge as soon as possible.
"I won't let their plot succeed, absolutely not," Umbridge said through gritted teeth.
"By the way, it seems that a few gas bombs were thrown in the administrator's office, and there is a stench inside." Malfoy glanced at Filch and continued, "There is also a cat hanging on the wooden door, This should also be a good thing for those people to do.
"Damn it, my cat."
Filch immediately realized something and rushed out of the office.
Watching Filch leave, Umbridge frowned slightly.
"Professor, you seem to be in trouble," Malfoy asked knowingly.
"Mr. Malfoy, if it were you, what would be a good way to catch the Weasleys' little beast?" Umbridge turned his gaze to the young Malfoy in front of him.
"They know the secrets of the Ministry of Magic better than anyone, and want to use ordinary methods to catch them." Malfoy raised his eyebrows, as if thinking about the so-called way, "Maybe, we can start with the resistance organization first. Harry Potter is undoubtedly one of the masterminds of this conspiracy, and maybe try to arrest them and claim that they created these conspiracies to force the Weasley twins to come forward and explain."
Forcing the Weasley twins to appear?
Naturally not.
Malfoy just wanted to put the blame on Harry Potter so that Umbridge could find an excuse to kick Harry out of Hogwarts.
"However, even if the Weasley brothers bear all the charges, it will not be easy to catch them," Malfoy reminded seriously. Although he is reluctant to admit it, the level of duel between Fred and George is indeed much better than that of the members of the investigation team.
Two days ago, most of the members of the investigation team were taken into the school hospital by Fred and George.
Just as Umbridge and Malfoy were discussing the feasibility of the plan, he heard footsteps outside, and Umbridge walked into the office stiffly.
"Ma'am, please save my cat!"
Filch's Mrs. Norris was once again petrified by the spell, as stiff as a quick rock.
Umbridge faced the cat on the table, and after pretending to try a few spells, but to no avail, he could only take Filch to Snape.
No matter what, Filch was her favorite student at Hogwarts, and he couldn't easily give up on each other no matter what.
"A very powerful petrification magic."
Snape tapped his finger at the cat Filch had placed lightly on the table, giving his judgment.
"Can it be cured?" Umbridge asked directly.
"Should be able to."
"should?"
"If the spell-breaking method doesn't work, you can try using mandrakes to make a potion to break the spell." Snape picked up the wand on the table and began to try to break the spell on Filch's Mrs. Norris.
Snape quickly discovered that the effect of the spell-removal was mediocre, and after several consecutive attempts, the cat on the table broke free from the petrification magic and recovered.
"Thank you, thank you." Filch held Mrs Norris in his arms and thanked Snape repeatedly.
"It must have been made by one of the Weasleys," Umbridge said through gritted teeth.
"Hogwarts students have a hard time mastering such advanced dark magic." Snape shook his head.
"Someone will," Umbridge said firmly.
"You mean Anderson?"
Snape raised his eyebrows slightly to look at Umbridge, feeling that the guy in front of him was trying to get in trouble.
"Yes, it's him."
"Anderson does have this ability, but the probability is not high." Snape shook his head, he felt that Umbridge was completely running on the road to death.
Even though Albert was very easy to get along with, it was just an appearance. He was a very vengeful guy. Although Snape didn't like Albert very much, he never denied the other party's ability.
"Oh, why?" Umbridge asked suspiciously.
"Because Anderson's not an idiot," Snape said directly, "that kind of smart guy would never do something stupid where he can guess who did it at a glance, and if he really wants to do something, you won't find it. It's just a cat."
"I want you to brew Veritaserum as soon as possible." Umbridge ignored Snape's sarcasm and took the initiative to change the subject, "I'll use that thing soon."
"At least you have to wait another half a month, unless you want to poison the user." Snape felt that Umbridge wanted to do something again, and frowned as he reminded: "There is one more thing I have to remind you, Veritaserum actually has an antidote, and at Anderson's level, it's not difficult to brew an antidote for Veritaserum.
Snape had no intention of giving Umbridge the real Veritaserum, so here's a warning for Umbridge.
As for why it didn't work, it was naturally the antidote for the other party's use of Veritaserum.
Throwing the pot to Albert, Snape didn't feel the slightest psychological pressure, anyway, both sides looked at each other unpleasantly, and he didn't think Umbridge could do with Albert.
Even the Dark Lord had deflated in front of that guy, let alone Umbridge.
After asking about the use of the Veritaserum antidote, Umbridge left Snape's office with a gloomy face, and recalled in his mind the previous process of using the Veritaserum antidote to torture students, whether anyone had used the Veritaserum antidote. .
After being reminded by Snape, Umbridge was sure that the damned Mudblood must be secretly preparing Veritaserum.
As for the others... Umbridge didn't see any signs of using the antidote after taking Veritaserum, but it's hard to say.
As for trying to get Fred and George out?
Umbridge didn't make a decision right away, but asked someone to discuss it first.
Even if you succeed in attracting people, you have to find a way to catch them. Once someone runs away, it will be difficult to have such an opportunity in the future.
To this end, Umbridge told Fudge of his plan, and Fudge immediately gathered a group of his own people to discuss how to take down the secret base hidden in the Forbidden Forest by the Order of the Phoenix in one go, and destroy the secret weapon that Dumbledore had carefully prepared.
Once the plan succeeds in catching the Weasley twins, Percy Weasley persuades them.
Fudge would never let Dumbledore do what he wanted, let alone the so-called "secret weapon" to destroy his career.
However, there are always exceptions.
Kingsley, who had just been called for an emergency meeting, was taken aback by the current situation. It was difficult for him to understand what a secret base of the Order of the Phoenix was.
"12 Grimmauld Place?"
"seems not."
Hearing Umbridge finish talking about the plan, Kingsley was stunned.
Why didn't you know about this?
Especially when I heard that the so-called secret base is hidden in the forbidden forest, and there is a large group of spiders guarding the entrance.
Besides, who would use a group of eight-eyed giant spiders to watch the door?
The whole thing sounds unreliable, but what surprised Kingsley the most was that someone believed it, and it was Minister of Magic Fudge taking the lead, planning to capture Fred and George, and destroy the secret base that didn't exist from the beginning. ?
God, this is so magical.
Kingsley couldn't help but wonder if the so-called secret base was created by Fred and George?
"Would this... be a bit of a fuss." Kingsley carefully weighed his words: "Anyway, they're just two kids who haven't graduated yet. And, if the Ministry of Magic uses Veritaserum, it might cause trouble. trouble."
"Then what do you think?" Umbridge looked at Kingsley with a smirk.
"I mean it could be an excuse for others to attack the minister, and I've heard some bad news recently." Kingsley didn't argue any further, just doing his job.
On the same day, the members of the Order of the Phoenix knew the news.
Except that Mrs. Weasley was **** off by what Fred and George did, everyone felt that the whole thing was inexplicable.
"Do we really have such a secret base in the Forbidden Forest?" Sirius cast a suspicious look at Mad-Eye.
"How could there be, and even if there were, it would be impossible to hide near a group of eight-eyed giant spiders," Mad-Eye Moody took a sip of the drink from the bottle and asked with a curl of his lips, "The big spider in the forbidden forest is Who came up with Hagrid's pet?"
"I don't think it's strange that Hagrid has a big spider. UU reading www.uukanshu.com" Bill couldn't help but complain.
"Don't worry Molly, Fred and George are smart, they just found a reason to fool Umbridge."
"Even if he didn't, Umbridge would probably have trouble with Harry," Lupin explained patiently. "So, it's not Fred and George's problem."
"I heard that they plan to open a store in Diagon Alley. Have you found the location of the store?" Sirius changed the subject.
"I've looked at a few things, and they seem to be discussing the price." Bill said with a smile, "They seem to think the price is too expensive, and they seem to think that the price will come down again, so they plan to wait."
"We have to find a way to remind them." Molly was still not very worried about Fred and George.
"We will."
"I dare say that they were prepared, even intentionally." Sirius is not worried about these problems, Albert is much more reliable than James, and even if he encounters problems, he can easily solve them.
