Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 392: String puppets

() The first class after lunch that day was the Defence Against the Dark Arts class that no one wanted to attend. Because since Umbridge taught, this originally most anticipated course has become a complete "reading and writing course".

Which student would like to read and copy against a thick theoretical book day after day?

"...Umbridge won't bother us anymore? How did Maca tell you? What else did he say?"

In the Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom, Hermione and the others sat together as usual, and while Umbridge hadn’t come, they talked in a low voice.

"Time was tight at the time, and I didn’t care to say a few more words with him," Harry shook his head in response to Hermione’s eager inquiry. "About Umbridge, Maca just said It’s just such a sentence."

"Oh-I really don't know what will happen in a while," Hermione said with some worry. "I really want to know what Maca did. If I can figure it out in advance, I won't be unprepared now. "

"...Do you think that old woman can't come anymore?" Ron said with some expectation, "If I were Maca, I would definitely make that pink toad suffer more!"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Hermione glared at him dissatisfied, "Maca is not you, so you won't be so disregarded! Although Umbridge really hates it, she is a Ministry of Magic after all. The investigator who came, if something happens to her at school, the Ministry of Magic will definitely intervene."

"Didn't they intervene?" Ron muttered, "You all saw it at noon. There is a whole team of Aurors in the hall!"

Yes, as mentioned in the first notice on the bulletin board before, the Ministry of Magic will conduct a detailed investigation of Dumbledore’s death, and the first wave of investigations will be the Aurors who have just been dispatched. team.

Because of the importance of the matter, even if Professor McGonagall didn't want to agree, she still asked the Aurors to conduct investigations on campus after a long time.

While they were talking quietly, the sweet class bell rang suddenly, and the well-dressed Umbridge stepped on the bell and walked into the classroom on time.

What's different from usual is that today's Umbridge looks... how do you put it? Some are "too serious".

"Good afternoon, classmates."

She stood behind the podium, greeted everyone with a vague expression, and started the class in the most plain way.

"Good afternoon—Professor Umbridge—"

As usual, the classmates made a long voice and responded weakly.

"Please turn "Magic Defense Theory" to page 34, and read Chapter 3 of the textbook-"Key Points for Non-Offensive Methods to Deal with Magical Attacks". Please don't talk casually during the reading process."

As soon as he finished saying this, Umbridge took a seat in his chair and stared at his textbook cover in a daze.

"What's wrong with her...?" Ron stared at Umbridge for a while, then asked Hermione and Harry with a puzzled look.

"..." Hermione's expression looked a little complicated. She hesitated for a moment, and then said in a very soft voice, "If I guessed correctly... Do you remember what Professor Moody's taught before? Right?"

"You meant to say--" Ron recalled for a moment, and immediately his eyes widened, looking extremely surprised.

"Keep your voice down!" Hermione shook her hand hurriedly and looked around again. She was relieved to see that no one noticed their conversation, "Except for the Imperius Curse," I can't think of any other way to make her look like this..."

"But—" Ron said unacceptably, "Is that an unforgivable curse?"

Ron, who was born and raised in the magic world since childhood, has the traditional thinking of wizards. For the three unforgivable curses, he would have such a psychological resistance, and it is also forgivable.

After all, since childhood, whether it is his parents or the social environment, he has been infecting him at all times.

At the beginning, Voldemort and his Death Eaters spread fear through the three unforgivable curses of "Dare to Use It". The concept of "the use of evil black magic is unforgivable" has become deeply ingrained in the hearts of wizards from beginning to end.

This is like telling a Muggle believer that "the **** you believe in is actually just an ordinary ancient wizard." It is not absolutely impossible to convince him, but it must be a very difficult thing.

In fact, among the magic revealed by Maca, there are not a few magic that favors darkness. Of course Ron has seen it a long time ago.

But this time the impact on him was the strongest, because of this curse, he also knew it.

"Don't be stupid, ask me to say, is it just good to use it against Umbridge?" Harry said disapprovingly, "Look at the things she did—investigating the professor, restricting us The action even canceled all student activity groups, making the entire Hogwarts mess!"

"You want me to say--" Harry paused, "That woman is probably one of the Death Eaters at all!"

"Although it’s better not to judge casually if there is no evidence, but this time I think Harry is right," Hermione nodded. Investigator, there is definitely a problem-Maca said before school started that there is a problem in the Ministry of Magic."

"This time, since Maca would do this, he must have grasped some clear clue."

The class time is still going on. Although Umbridge stated that "talking is prohibited" before, as time went by, many of the classmates couldn't help but talk secretly.

And when they found that Umbridge hadn't reacted to this, the classroom began to become lively.

Well, of course, it's just a little bit noisy. After all, Umbridge was still sitting behind the front desk, no one would behave excessively.

Until the end of this class, Umbridge did not respond to the buzzing in the classroom, let alone a corresponding punishment.

When everyone finally got to the end of get out of class and the bell rang, Umbridge finally stood up.

Perhaps because she had left a too harsh impression on her classmates in the past. When she suddenly got up, the classroom became quiet again.

"Today's class will end here, and get out of class will end."

After picking up the textbook, she said this sentence with a sullen face, she immediately turned around and left the classroom. There was no sluggishness in the whole process, and it was said to be calm. Perhaps it would be more appropriate to describe it as "sluggish".

"...It's terrible," Ron looked at Umbridge's distant back, feeling a little numb on his scalp, "Looks like a magic puppet controlled by someone!"

"Is there such a thing?" Harry asked curiously, "Is it similar to a Muggle puppet?"

"What's that?" Ron came back to his senses, and asked in surprise.

……

After dinner that day, Hermione, Ron, and Harry returned to the common room together.

"Harry! The training tonight is going on! Quickly move, I want to go to the Quidditch stadium for approval!"

As soon as they got through the doorway behind the portrait, Angelina’s excitement reached their ears before the fat woman even had time to close the doorway.

"Huh? What?"

Harry, who was still immersed in the conversation on the way over, didn't react for a while.

"Training! Quidditch training!" Angelina repeated, "Umbridge approved the reorganization of our Gryffindor team! It's easy and there are no obstacles!"

"Oh—"

Harry froze for a moment, and was about to cheer, but there was a complex expression on his face.

"Hey! What's wrong with you? Are you unhappy?" Angelina had come to him and patted Harry on the shoulder vigorously, "You can train! Get ready!"

"Uh... well, of course," Harry grinned reluctantly, but the smile was obviously stiff, "Of course I'm happy! This could not be better!"

Yes, of course he is happy. But while happy, the way Umbridge was in class quietly came to mind.

The thought that Maca might have only used one spell, his life changed dramatically, and this feeling inevitably made him feel a great sense of disobedience.

After experiencing the difference before and after, Harry couldn't help but understand the real horror of the so-called Unforgivable Curse.

"Don't do this, Harry," Hermione's keenness made her vaguely aware of some of Harry's thoughts. "At this time, we should think about the bright side-at least Maca will not abuse magic, otherwise we are around The world must have been messed up!"

"...It's right, "At least you must be rushing homework all night." Although Ron's face was not good, he still followed along with him and said with comfort, "Don't forget Snape will give it back to you. Punishment homework~IndoMTL.com~Ah——" Harry patted his cheek sharply, "Um...thank you."

Under the enlightenment of the two close friends, Harry couldn't help but raised his spirits and sent them a smile.

"...If that's the case, Ron, I'll beg you for my homework!" He gave a thumbs up, grinning and showing his neat teeth, "If you can't get everything done, part of it is okay!" "

"What are you whispering?" Angelina on the side looked at the whispering three people with strange eyes and said, "Harry, run quickly! Let's start training every second!"

At the urging of Angelina, Harry hurried back to the dormitory to get the flying broom and protective gear, and then followed the other Gryffindor players in the eyes of Hermione and Ron. Drilled out the door hole.

"Don't help him with his homework, have you heard?" Hermione turned her head and said seriously.

"Who would help him!" Ron rolled his eyes immediately.
