Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 1065: It’s scary

"Madam, 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, bent down as much as possible to show his respect to Umbridge, and at the same time reported to him the latest development of Peeves.

The expressions of the Aurors following Umbridge were somewhat unnatural. They recalled the scene of Umbridge and Fudge being hunted down by the dung bomb not long ago.

No Auror would want to experience something like this himself.

"You first asked Harry Potter to bring me to my office, and then you said that I have something to look for... What is that?" Umbridge just walked into the hall, when he was surprised by the weird statue in the hall To attract attention.

The Aurors followed Umbridge's gaze and saw the very strange statue on the right, which exuded a strange stench.

Everyone turned their eyes to Umbridge again. The clothes worn by the statue were exactly the same as those on Umbridge. into a toad's head.

In fact, as long as you observe carefully, you can find that there are many "secrets" hidden in this statue. The toad's head is actually very similar to the new headmaster in front of him, and it also bears the sign of "Ministry of Magic is Might".

The overall image of the entire statue is a humanoid toad, and the template of the toad is the one next to it, the famous senior investigator, deputy minister of the Ministry of Magic, and headmaster of Hogwarts.

What's interesting is that 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 was the education order that Fudge had just appointed Umbridge as the headmaster, and other signs could also clearly see the content on it, they were all relatively important education orders.

Standing on the Hogwarts name and school emblem under the toad's flippers, the lower base is a rectangular stone, engraved with the lyrics of "Toad Song" and Dolores Umbridge's signature and Various "heroic" deeds.

"Who, exactly who did it?" Umbridge looked at the toad statue in front of him, trembling all over.

"No, I don't know... I didn't have this thing just now?"

Filch stared blankly at the statue in front of him. He dared to guarantee with his own head that there was absolutely no such statue just now.

"No, it can't stay here, it will be smashed to pieces!"

Umbridge raised her wand and cast the Crushing Charm on the damned toad statue, she was going to blow the damned statue into a heap of ashes.

However, the moment the spell hit the toad statue, it was bounced off directly, like a bullet hitting a large steel plate.

Not only Umbridge's eyes widened in disbelief, but several other Aurors also widened their eyes, and they all saw the strange statue directly throwing the spell away.

"Ma'am, there is a strong magic on this statue to protect it from the damage of the spell." Gadwin Robards looked up and down the toad statue, and he could probably confirm from the thing in front of him that the deputy minister was in Hogwarts. How much people hate Ci.

He regretted it a little!

"Please help me dismantle this thing." Umbridge looked at the Aurors with a smirk on his face, hoping that they could help him solve the trouble.

The Aurors looked at each other, nodded to each other, and didn't talk nonsense, they all pulled out their wands and pointed at the toad statue and chanted.

A series of explosive spells hit the toad statue.

However, the statue was not blown to pieces as expected, but the protective magic on the statue ruthlessly bounced the explosive spell away.

Not only caused a terrible explosion in the foyer, but also splashed the gravel from the explosion in the foyer, and even shocked the students in the entire castle who were in class.

"This..."

The Aurors never thought that the Explosive Curse would be bounced off the statue in front of them.

"Well...can you remove the statue? We can throw the statue into the black lake." Filch hugged Mrs. Norris and hid behind the Aurors, who was almost affected by the aftermath of the explosion just now. up.

"Just do it like this." Umbridge agreed to Filch's proposal,

The Aurors soon discovered that the various spells could not make the statue invisible or remove it. The toad statue still stands there, like a banner that will never fall.

"No."

"Someone used a permanent sticking spell."

Galdwin Robards poked the statue with his wand and said to Umbridge: "It is not easy to remove or destroy this statue."

"Is there no other way?" Umbridge asked irritably, she couldn't let this statue stay here, otherwise she would become the laughing stock of 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 Fiercefire," Prout said awkwardly.

"Who can use Fiercefire Curse?"

Umbridge looked around at the other Aurors, and it turned out that no one knew the black magic, which made her feel tight in her chest.

Probably noticing Umbridge's angry expression, Gadwin Robards coughed lightly and explained: "Ma'am, the Fiercefire Curse is a very evil and dangerous spell in black magic. It is difficult to control, even most black wizards do not have the courage to use the Fiercefire Curse, because there are countless cases of burning themselves to death due to the out-of-control Fiercefire Curse in the past, and once the Fiercefire Curse is out of control, it will cause a terrible disaster, probably ...It only takes one hour to burn the castle to ashes.”

The Fierce Fire Curse is indeed very dangerous, even a famous dark wizard would not dare to use it indiscriminately.

Of course the Aurors wouldn't take the risk of trying such a dangerous spell, and they were Aurors, not dark wizards, and they didn't have the habit of using Fiercefire to kill them.

"What to do then?"

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 magic world who can achieve this level."

Galdwin 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 level. 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.

As a matter of fact, that guy might as well.

"Probably not."

An Auror waved his wand, conjured up a 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 developed in every way. Reaching the peak, if he is thirty years old now, it is indeed possible that he did this."

"It's okay, I'll find out if I call Mr. Anderson over and ask about it." Umbridge still had a hypocritical smirk on her face. The matter is pinned on the other party's head.

In Umbridge's view, Albert was also suspicious.

Speaking, Umbridge turned to Filch and said, "Please, Argus."

"Okay ma'am, I'll go right away."

Filch puts Mrs. Norris on the ground and goes looking for Harry Potter.

A quarter of an hour later, under the confused eyes of Professor Flitwick and other students, Harry reluctantly followed Filch out of the Charms classroom.

Before he left, he shrugged his shoulders at Ron and Hermione, signaling them not to worry, and reminding them to help him pack his things later.

"What did Umbridge want from me?" Harry asked casually, he could actually guess what Umbridge wanted from him. There are only two possibilities for the toad to find him: confinement or torture.

But Harry is not afraid at all, because he has not made any mistakes recently, so it is definitely not in confinement, and the rest is torture news.

Torture messages must use Veritaserum.

Since missing the last chance, Harry has always carried the antidote for Veritaserum with him, in case the toad goes crazy and troubles him one day.

"It's the headmaster." Filch corrected, his voice was hoarse and unpleasant, and he was gloating, "The situation here is changing, Potter."

"I haven't seen any changes. Defense Against the Dark Arts professors are not a good profession." Harry said indifferently, "Especially the last few generations of Defense Against the Dark Arts professors have come to a bad end."

While speaking, Harry took advantage of Filch's inattention and poured a few Veritaserum antidote into his mouth. He knew his chance had come.

"Dumbledore has been too lenient to you guys. Look, with Umbridge in power, the situation here will be very different, and the Minister of Magic has signed an order to expel Peeves," Filch squinted Look at Harry and lead him to Umbridge's office.

"Oh, really? But I doubt they can get rid of Peeves, if they can, Peeves would not be at Hogwarts long ago." Harry poured out another tranquilizer and threw it away. into the mouth.

"If I were you, I would worry about my own affairs first." Filch sneered.

Harry saw four wizards from the Ministry of Magic outside the Defense Against the Dark Arts office, and couldn't help raising his eyebrows slightly, feeling that something was wrong.

Since he had just taken the sedative, Harry's mood quickly stabilized. In any case, he is a wizard who has experienced great storms, and Voldemort has not frightened him, and Umbridge is not worth mentioning compared to Voldemort.

"Go in!"

The Aurors glanced at Harry, and directly opened the door of the Defense Against the Dark Arts office to let Harry in.

After Harry entered, he found that there were more Aurors in the Defense Against the Dark Arts office than outside. .”

Scared?

The veins on Umbridge's forehead were slightly raised. In Harry Potter's tone just now, she didn't hear a trace of fear, but more of a strong disdain and ridicule.

Harry ignored the change of expression on Umbridge's face, turned his head to look at the six wizards, and asked curiously: "Auror?"

The Aurors were silent, all staring 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."

Honestly speaking, the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic disappointed Harry very much. In his recent contact with Aurors, he only felt that this group of people were like dogs.

That's right, the dog legs who help others do bad things are similar to Goyle and Crabbe around Malfoy.

Completely deviated from Harry's understanding of Aurors. It was not like fighting against the dark forces as described by Moody, Tonks and Kingsley. He was terribly disappointed.

"It's not your turn to point out our work."

A young Auror was broken first. There was nothing he could do. The look in Harry Potter's eyes was too shocking. It was disappointment, contempt, disgust and other complex emotions gathered together.

"What's your name?" Harry asked gently.

"What?"

"Name." Harry smiled even wider.

"Enough Potter!" Umbridge snapped.

"Don't tell me? That's fine."

Harry took a deep look at the man, as if he wanted to remember the man's appearance firmly.

"Please sit down, Mr. Potter!" Umbridge signaled the Aurors to do it.

"To be honest, I once wanted to be an Auror to fight against dark wizards." The smile on Harry's face became more gentle: "The goal is to become an Auror..."

"You have no chance of becoming an Auror, the Ministry of Magic will never..." Umbridge was interrupted.

"Oh, it's okay, I don't want to be an Auror right now." Harry interrupted with a smile: "I heard that when the Ministry of Magic was first established, it was located near the cesspit, and the entrance was also set up near the public toilet. Is this true?"

"Enough Potter!" The veins on Umbridge's forehead twitched. She had never found Harry Potter so annoying as now. Harsh.

"Oh, it seems to be true, it's really surprising!" Harry's tone was full of surprise and disbelief.

"Okay, Potter, stop talking nonsense, drink it, and then answer a few questions for me ~IndoMTL.com~ and you can leave." Umbridge said with a bad face, tone It is full of doubts.

"Even if you use Veritaserum on me, you won't be able to get any useful information from me." After Harry finished speaking, he picked up the cup of pumpkin juice and splashed it on the carpet. Umbridge reminded with a smile, "Change to a glass. You only need three drops of Veritaserum. Too much is bad for your brain. I don't want to become an idiot because of too much Veritaserum. Don't look at me like that, someone Said that you failed the potions test. Well, that's right, it was Snape who said that the last time he complained about abusing Veritaserum, he didn't even know how many drops he took."

After speaking, Harry picked up the kettle next to him, poured some water into the glass, and placed it in front of Umbridge as a gesture of invitation.

Umbridge's anger was slowly rising, but he still held it back. After glancing at the Aurors who pretended not to hear, he took out the vial again.

"Remember, it's three drops." Harry reminded kindly.

Umbridge's cheek twitched, but he put three drops into the glass anyway.

Harry picked up the cup, drank it all in one gulp, and then sat quietly on the chair, waiting for the next "torture"!
