Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 1065: It’s scary
"Ma'am, Peeves is hiding in the empty classroom on the fifth floor. It doesn't know where to get a large batch of dung bombs. Please be careful of Peeves' sneak attack."
Felch, who suffers from rheumatism, bends as much as he can to pay tribute to Umbridge while giving him an update on Peeves.
The expressions of the Aurors following Umbridge were a little unnatural, as they recalled images of Umbridge and Fudge being chased by dung bombs not long ago.
No Auror wishes to experience this kind of grief in person.
"You asked Harry Potter to bring him to my office first, and you said I had something to look for... What's that?" Umbridge walked into the hallway when he was greeted by a strange statue placed in the hallway. attracted attention.
The Aurors followed Umbridge's gaze and saw a very strange statue on the right, which gave off a strange stench.
Everyone turned their attention to Umbridge again. The clothes on the statue were exactly the same as those on Umbridge. It is not difficult to see that this is the statue of Umbridge, but someone changed the head of the statue. into the head of a toad.
In fact, as long as you look closely, you can see that there are many "secrets" hidden in this statue. This toad's head is very similar to the new headmaster in front of him, and it also wears the "Ministry of Magic is Power" symbol.
The overall image of the entire statue is a human-shaped toad, and the template of the toad is the next one, the famous senior investigator, Deputy Minister of Magic, and Headmaster of Hogwarts.
Interestingly, all the things hanging on the toad statue are the latest education orders issued by the Ministry of Magic, as if they are afraid that others will 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.
The Hogwarts name and school crest is stomped under the toad's flippers, and the lower base is a rectangular stone engraved with the lyrics of "The Song of the Toad" and the signature and signature of Dolores Umbridge. Various "heroic" deeds.
"Who, who made it?" Umbridge looked at the toad statue in front of him, trembling all over.
"No, I don't know... didn't this thing just now?"
Felch 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 and smash to pieces!"
Umbridge raised her wand and cast a Shattering Charm at the damned toad statue she was going to blow into a pile of ashes.
However, the moment the spell hit the toad statue, it was bounced straight off, like a bullet hitting a large piece of steel.
Not only did Umbridge's eyes widen in disbelief, but several other Aurors were equally wide-eyed, and they all saw this strange statue and threw the spell flying.
"Ma'am, there's a lot of magic on this statue that protects it from spells." Gadwin Robards looked up and down the toad statue, and could probably confirm from the thing in front of him that the Undersecretary was at Hogwarts Just how much hated he was.
He's a little regretful!
"Please help me dismantle this thing." Umbridge looked at the Aurors with a smirk, hoping they could help him out.
The Aurors looked at each other, nodding their heads, and without talking nonsense, they drew their wands and chanted spells at the statue of the toad.
A streak of blast spells hit the toad statue.
However, the statue was not blown up as expected, but the protective magic on the statue mercilessly blasted the blasting spell into the air.
Not only did a terrifying explosion in the foyer, it also splattered the rubble from the foyer, and shocked the students who were in class throughout the castle.
"This..."
The Aurors never thought that the Explosive Charm would bounce off the statue in front of them.
"Um... can you remove the statue? We can throw the statue into the Black Lake." Filch hugged Mrs Norris and hid behind the Aurors, and was almost affected by the aftermath of the explosion just now .
"Just do it." Umbridge agreed to Filch's proposal,
Aurors soon discovered that various spells could not make the statue disappear at all, or simply remove it. Where is the statue of the toad still standing, like a flag that never falls.
"No."
"Someone used the Permanent Paste Charm."
Gadevon 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 keep this statue here, or she would be the laughing stock of the entire Hogwarts.
"It may be possible to destroy it with powerful black magic," Prout whispered.
"I don't want to see this anymore, try your way!" Umbridge said to the Auror.
"Sorry ma'am, I don't know how to use Fiery Charms," said Prout embarrassedly.
"Who uses the Fire Spell?"
Umbridge looked around at the other Aurors, and it turned out that no one knew this black magic, and she felt a tightness in her chest.
Probably noticing Umbridge's angry expression, Gardwin Robards explained with a light cough: "Madam, the Fiery Charm is a very evil and dangerous spell in black magic, it's famous It is difficult to control, even most dark wizards do not have the courage to use the Fiery Fire Spell, because there have been countless cases of burning themselves to death due to the uncontrolled Fiery Fire Spell, and once the Fiery Fire Spell is out of control, it will cause a terrible disaster, probably ...and burn the castle to ashes in just one hour."
The Fiery Fire Charm is indeed very dangerous, and even famous dark wizards dare not use it indiscriminately.
Aurors naturally wouldn't take the risk of trying such a dangerous spell, and they were Aurors, not dark wizards, and didn't have the habit of using the Fire Spell to the death.
"What should I do then?"
The smile on Umbridge's face grew more dangerous, "Who do you think did this, the professor at the school, or..."
"There are very few wizards in the entire wizarding world who can do this."
Gadevon Robards naturally understood what Umbridge meant, 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, I can hardly think of anyone other than Dumbledore."
"Where's Albert Anderson?" Umbridge suddenly said a name that disgusted her.
Actually, that guy probably did too.
"Probably not."
An Auror waved his wand, conjured a black cloth to cover the toad statue, and explained to Umbridge, "The genius is indeed great, but he is too young to be in every way. Reaching the peak, if he is thirty years old now, it is indeed possible that he did it."
"It doesn't matter, I'll find out by calling Mr. Anderson by the way and asking." Umbridge still had a fake smirk on her face, and when she mentioned Albert's name now, she just wanted to bring this up. The matter is on each other's head.
Albert was equally suspicious in Umbridge's view.
Speaking, Umbridge turned to Filch and said, "Excuse me, Argus."
"Okay ma'am, I'll go right now."
Filch puts Mrs Norris on the ground and goes 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 reminding them to help him pack up later.
"What did Umbridge want me to do?" Harry asked casually, and 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 at all afraid, because he didn't make a mistake recently, so it's definitely not confinement, the rest is torture news.
A message of torture must use Veritaserum.
Since he missed his last chance, Harry had carried the antidote for Veritaserum with him, in case the toads went mad and troubled him one day.
"It's the Headmaster," Filch corrected, his voice hoarse and a little gloating. "Things are changing here, Potter."
"I don't see much change, Defence Against the Dark Arts professor is not a good career." Harry said indifferently: "Especially the last few generations of Defence Against the Dark Arts professors have not had a good end."
While he was talking, Harry poured a few Veritaserum antidote into his mouth while Filch wasn't paying attention, knowing that his chance was coming.
"Dumbledore has been too lenient with you guys. Look, things are going to be very different here with Umbridge in power, and the Minister of Magic has signed orders to expel Peeves," Filch squinted. Watch Harry and take 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 toss. into the mouth.
"If I were you, I'd worry about myself first." Filch sneered.
Harry raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw four Ministry of Magic wizards outside the Defense Against the Dark Arts office, feeling that something was wrong.
Having just taken the sedative, Harry's mood stabilized quickly. 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, then opened the door of the Defence Against the Dark Arts office and let Harry in.
When Harry went in, he found that there were more Aurors in the Defence Against the Dark Arts office than outside, and he couldn't help raising his eyebrows slightly and teasingly: "This battle is really scary, people who don't know think you are going to interrogate prisoners in private. ."
Scared?
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 to look at the six wizards, and asked curiously, "Aurors?"
The Aurors were silent, all staring at Harry Potter.
"Are you catching Death Eaters?" Harry asked with a smile, ignoring everyone's gaze, "Or do you think I'm a Death Eater?"
The office is dead silent.
"Forget it, it's none of my business anyway." Harry shrugged. "It's normal that the Ministry of Magic can't catch Death Eaters."
Honestly, the Aurors at the Ministry of Magic have disappointed Harry, and in his last few encounters with the Aurors, he has only felt like the group of people.
Yes, the **** who help people do bad things, similar to Goyle and Crabbe around 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. He was utterly disappointed.
"It's not up to you to point fingers."
A young Auror was breached first, and there was nothing he could do. Harry Potter's eyes were so shocking, it was a combination of disappointment, contempt and disgust.
"What's your name?" Harry asked gently.
"What?"
"Name." Harry smiled wider.
"Enough Potter!" Umbridge yelled.
"Don't tell me? That's fine."
Harry took a deep look at the man, as if trying to memorize what the man looked like.
"Mr Potter, please sit down!" Umbridge motioned for the Aurors to do it.
"To be honest, I wanted to be an Auror who would fight against Dark Wizards." The smile on Harry's face grew warmer: "Aiming to be an Auror..."
"You have no chance of being an Auror, and the Ministry of Magic will never..." Umbridge was interrupted before he could finish.
"Oh, it's okay, I don't want to be an Auror for a while now~IndoMTL.com~ 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 in the public area. Near the toilet, is this true? "
"Enough Potter!" The veins on Umbridge's forehead jumped. She had never found Harry Potter as annoying as she did now, and despite the calm tone of every sentence, it sounded incomparable. harsh.
"Oh, it looks real, amazing!" Harry's tone was full of surprise and disbelief.
"Okay, Potter, stop talking nonsense, drink it, answer me a few questions, and you're good to go." Umbridge said sullenly, his tone even more full No doubt.
"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 with a distorted expression. Umbridge 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, someone Said you failed the potion exam. 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 made a gesture of please in front of Umbridge.
Umbridge's anger swelled, but he 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 twitch, but he drops three drops into the glass anyway.
Harry picked up the glass, drank it all in one go, and sat quietly in his chair, waiting for the next "torture"!
