Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 1035: On the road to death
"Professor Umbridge wants to see you."
Cedric had just finished class and was about to go to lunch when he was stopped by Filch in the hallway.
"What did Umbridge do with Cedric?"
Several of Cedric's friends glared at Filch, and now everyone knows that Umbridge's eyes are not good.
"Follow me."
Felch ignored the unkind glances from the others and led Cedric toward Umbridge's office.
Cedric turned to glance at his friend, shrugged his shoulders, and followed Filch out of the hall.
"Damn toad, we have to do something?"
Despite what they say and know what they have to do to get Cedric out of trouble, no one does it.
Maybe they don't know what to do, maybe they don't dare to do it at all.
Walking to Umbridge's office door, the expression on Cedric's face was still calm. He had expected this day to come, and after Filch knocked on the door three times , he walked in through the door opened by the other party.
Umbridge sat in a chair behind his desk, not knowing what he was writing. After Cedric walked in, she put down her quill, looked up at Cedric, smiled her signature, raised her finger to the chair opposite and said, "Sit down, Mr. Cedric."
Cedric takes a peek at Umbridge's office, his first time here. The office is filled with pink decorations that don't match Umbridge's age at all, and trays of various cats are placed on shelves in a girly style.
Only, the owner of the office is an old witch.
Cedric suddenly understands why Umbridge likes to speak with a girl's sharp voice. It turns out that the other party has always had a girlish heart.
Though, the thought of Umbridge's age does make him sick.
To the wall behind the desk is a large, strong iron bolt, to which three broomsticks are being chained and locked.
Cedric recognized at a glance it was Potter's Firebolt, and two of the Weasley brothers swept five stars. Thanks to Umbridge's "help", maybe Hufflepuff could be in the next The game beat Gryffindor again, however, Cedric was not happy.
"Professor, do you have anything to do with me?" Cedric asked directly after arranging the expression on his face.
"I heard some rumors recently and wanted to talk to you about something." Umbridge stared at Cedric with the usual fake smirk on his face: "By the way, what would you like to drink?"
"What?" Cedric's heart suddenly bulged, and he secretly said: Is it still here?
"What would you like to drink, Mr. Diggory?" Umbridge's smile widened. "Tea, coffee, pumpkin juice?"
"Then let's have milk tea!" Cedric said without hesitation.
Hearing this answer, Umbridge felt a little uncomfortable for some reason, but she waved her wand and conjured a steaming cup of milk tea for Cedric.
Cedric stared at the milk tea in front of him. Knowing that he probably couldn't escape, he took a sip of the milk tea and said with a stiff expression: "The taste of this cup of milk tea is really indescribable."
"What?"
Umbridge didn't respond for a moment.
Cedric put down the cup of tea he had drank and started his own performance: "This cup of milk tea is very hard to drink, it makes me feel a little sick."
Umbridge raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Cedric with a sinister and kind smile after looking at the milk tea that had been drank, and asked, "I heard that the "Guide to Self-Defense" Where are you?"
"The Self-Defense Guide?" Cedric said quietly. "I did read that book once."
"Ever?"
Umbridge's face darkened.
"Yes, once. I saw that book on the library desk and put it back after reading it." Cedric explained deadpan, "It's everyone's private order. , just to keep Umbridge from knowing who took the book."
"Who came up with the rules?" Umbridge looked sullen.
"I don't know." Cedric shook his head.
"So, you don't know where that book is now?" Umbridge turned darker.
"I don't know, only the person who took the book knows."
After a brief silence, Umbridge asked again, "Mr. Cedric, how much do you know about Dumbledore's Army?"
"Understand, there are rumors about Dumbledore's Army circulating in Hogwarts school." Cedric looked at Umbridge and continued: "Some people say that Dumbledore's Army is an anti-Toad League. The organization was formed to drive Umbridge out of school."
The smile on Umbridge's face disappeared completely. Cedric's words just now were undoubtedly an insult to her, but she couldn't be angry, because Cedric, who drank Veritaserum, only to be frank.
"Some people say that Dumbledore's Army is an organization established by Dumbledore. This organization is attracting Hogwarts students to join and teach them how to use magic to fight. The purpose is to overthrow the current magic. The rule of Minister Fudge. Everyone says Dumbledore had his headquarters somewhere in the Forbidden Forest, but no one knows what happened."
"Are students joining?" Umbridge hinted. "Like Potter?"
"No." Cedric shook his head. "Everyone thought it was a rumor."
"Go on," Umbridge said blankly.
"It is also said that Dumbledore's Army is actually a group formed spontaneously by students, because the things of Professor Umbridge, the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, are too bad, and those who want to excel in the upcoming important exams The students with high grades have all joined, it is said to be called the 'Defense Association'..."
"You think this has something to do with Albert Anderson," Umbridge interrupted again.
"It doesn't matter, Albert is very busy. The last time I asked him about the knowledge on the Self-Defense Guide, he refused." Cedric shook his head.
"What is he up to?" Umbridge asked warily.
"I'm about to graduate, Albert is taking the time to read some of the books in the forbidden area." Cedric said calmly: "He can borrow any book in the forbidden area."
"Who gives power."
"Headmaster Dumbledore." Cedric was silent after speaking.
"You can go."
Umbridge looked Cedric up and down, made sure he couldn't ask any other answers, and let him go.
Looking at the re-closed door, Umbridge frowned, intuition told her that Cedric might be lying, but Umbridge couldn't see where the other was lying.
Is there something wrong with the Veritaserum?
Umbridge frowned slightly, staring at half a cup of milk tea.
Finally, she called the house elf and let her drink the half cup of milk tea with Veritaserum added, then asked the house elf a few questions, and only let the house elf leave after confirming that the veritase was really effective .
"Am I being over-hearted?" Umbridge murmured.
If Albert were here, he would definitely complain about Umbridge's potions skills, not knowing that Veritaserum also has an antidote.
Of course, it could also be that Umbridge didn't think Cedric would prepare the antidote ahead of time and take it quietly under her nose.
Cedric is actually an antidote on the road, thanks to Albert's way of preserving Flux.
The news that Cedric had been called to his office by Umbridge quickly spread through Hogwarts Castle, immediately causing dissatisfaction among the Hufflepuff students.
If Albert is the face of Gryffindor House, then Cedric is the face of Hufflepuff, and Umbridge's actions are undoubtedly Hufflepuff House's face.
Hermione was taken aback by the news, and she was relieved when she was sure that Cedric had not triggered the curse she had placed on the list.
"How did you do it?" Harry asked blankly.
Due to his crush on Qiu Zhang, Harry and Cedric don't have a good relationship. However, after taking the tranquilizer, he was still able to maintain his apparent calm.
"The antidote to Veritaserum."
Cedric still carries a lot of weight among the DA members, at least the Hufflepuff students agree with him.
During the split practice, in addition to Harry, Cedric and the Weasley brothers will also help lead people separately, in order to speed up the efficiency of everyone's spell mastery. Otherwise, it will be difficult to learn the contents of the "Guide to Self-Defense" in a short period of time and let everyone get sufficient training.
"An antidote for Veritaserum?" Hermione asked with wide eyes. "Can you make an antidote for Veritaserum?"
"Of course not, it's the antidote that Albert gave me." Cedric shook his head and said, "Don't expect too much, he doesn't have much of the Veritaserum antidote left."
"There is still a risk of exposure to DA if Toad uses Veritase on other members.
Cedric briefly briefed the two of the three proposals Albert gave him.
"The first one is more reliable. We can't distribute the antidote of Veritaserum to everyone. As for the oblivion spell... If you are not good at it, it is best not to use it." Hermione said immediately: "So as long as Find an opportunity to delay time, to reinforce others, to disrupt is the best result."
"It might have to go to Fred and George, they're better at this." Harry agreed with Hermione's suggestion, "start the next party as soon as possible, and everyone must be vigilant!"
"It's best to suss out Umbridge's alleged use of Veritaserum on the students," Hermione added.
……
"I think the toad is just trying to kill himself and dare to use Veritaserum to torture the students at Hogwarts." George took the time to tell Albert the news during his herbal medicine class.
"Really?" Shanna's eyes widened.
"Not long ago, Cedric was called to the Defense Against the Dark Arts office by Toad for tea." George said in a low voice, "Now everyone is worried about being called to tea by Toad."
"Does Dumbledore care about this kind of thing?" Shanna couldn't understand why Toad dared to be so reckless.
"No evidence."
"Evidence?"
"The adult world is far more cruel than you think, and it's not uncommon to do anything to achieve an end. To be honest, I have no doubt that she would use the Cruciatus Curse to torture students if necessary." Abel Work very slowly with the plants at hand.
"Attention, gentlemen and ladies, you have to speed up your progress, Albert is almost done," Professor Sprout reminded as he passed by.
"Toad still uses Cruciatus?" George is skeptical, Toad is acting badly.
"Crutal people can usually use the Cruciatus, which is the source of most black magic's power." Albert has taken a small brown ball from the tree. This thing is called an explosive fruit, which is ripening. Afterwards, an explosion will occur, and the seeds will be scattered in this way, which has a relatively strong lethality to common animals and plants.
The exploding gummies at Honey Duke's candy store contain trace amounts of exploding fruit extract.
"I think she should still be hospitalized so that everyone can live a comfortable life." George looked at Albert, hoping that the other party could give them some advice.
"Some spells can't be mixed, otherwise there will be bad effects." Albert said after a moment of thought, "Of course, some potions can also have similar effects."
"That's a good idea," George said without hesitation. "It's not surprising that something strange happened to the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor."
"Are you really going to do that?" Shanna has a hard time understanding what's going on in the world~IndoMTL.com~ Hogwarts is no longer a warm home for everyone, she thinks the whole world is going crazy .
The relationship between Umbridge and the students is so bad that they want to kill each other.
"Who made the era of chaos to come."
"The era of chaos? It seems that our luck is not very good." Shanna stopped in front of the entrance hall and looked at the students who were leaning against the notice wall with a disgusted expression. There was no doubt that a new education order was born. .
"Our luck is actually good, at least we graduated from Hogwarts in time." Albert looked at the education order on the notice wall, and laughed and joked: "If people were to copy the education order now, they would definitely Drive people crazy."
"Umbridge intends to form an action team to say what to maintain the stability of Hogwarts and avoid some conflicts. It's disgusting!" Lee Jordan said out of nowhere, and said with disgust, "I dare say that the so-called action group are all Slytherin students, and Toad even forgot that he was from Ravenclaw."
"She has already dismissed the students of Ravenclaw House," Albert reminded kindly.
He was not surprised by Toad's series of actions. Adults value the pros and cons more, and in fact, he himself does the same.
"She should be punished!"
On the way back to the common room, George suddenly said, "If Toad doesn't get punished, she's going to have to get ahead.
"What are your plans?"
"I want to turn her into a toad." George said in a low voice, "Of course, you can also secretly cast a spell on her, causing the toad to suffer from a serious skin disease and have to stay in the hospital for the next few days. month."
