Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 1085: Conspiracy, conspiracy

Chapter 1087 conspiracy, conspiracy

Umbridge attached great importance to the information "pried" from Harry and Ron, and reported the "good news" immediately, which was highly praised by Fudge.

However, it is quite difficult to kill the danger in the cradle in advance.

It is impossible for Fudge to let the elite Aurors of the Ministry of Magic go to the Forbidden Forest to exterminate the acromantula. Even if he really dared to give the order to exterminate the acromantula, the Aurors would not accept it. In a ghostly place like the Forbidden Forest, those acromantids are even more dangerous than dark wizards, and even the most elite Aurors may lose their lives.

Therefore, arresting Fred and George and prying out from them the method of entering the secret base of the Order of the Phoenix is ​​the best solution at present, and it is more reliable than destroying the acromantula lair.

Umbridge was thus appointed by Fudge to take care of the matter.

"What if Albert Anderson comes out to stop it?"

Before leaving, Umbridge did not forget to mention his concerns.

"After all, Anderson and Weasley are very good friends. I suspect that Weasley's actions are supported by him. We all know that the Weasley family is not rich."

Although there is no evidence, Umbridge's intuition from years of work tells Umbridge that that Anderson is very suspicious and is likely to be secretly playing tricks behind the scenes.

"If that guy tries to stop you from capturing Weasley, then arrest him too. I believe that staying in Azkaban Prison for a few months will completely calm down his clever mind." Fudge said coldly In other words, it is absolutely impossible for him to tolerate someone who wants to oust himself.

No one can!

"I'll take care of it." Umbridge returned to Hogwarts in a happy mood.

The good mood didn't last long, because the plan to capture Fred and George didn't go as expected, and even the twins were not seen. On the contrary, the anti-toad movement became more and more powerful. bigger.

Owning the Marauder's Map, Fred and George could easily evade arrest and play with Umbridge's group in the palm of their hands.

Because of taking refuge in Toad, the unlucky Filch became one of the special targets of the Anti-Toad Alliance. He had to go to the school hospital every day, which was almost becoming his new home.

"Damn, all damn."

At this moment, in the Defense Against the Dark Arts office, a furious Umbridge was smashing things to vent his anger.

It is really hard for Umbridge to imagine that he was actually attacked by those despicable and shameless people. On the podium of the classroom, the slogan of the Anti-Toad League and the sign of Umbridge, the toad spitting snake, were left on the blackboard behind it.

What angered Umbridge the most was that she maintained that posture and stood on the podium for a class, but no one helped her remove the body-binding spell from the beginning to the end.

"Ma'am, we're afraid we'll have to find another way." Filch said listlessly, "The ordinary methods won't catch those two little beasts at all."

This Mr. Administrator has given up on catching Fred and George by conventional means. Just a few days ago, he met Fred and George who were wandering at night in the middle of the night, and he was not only used by those two beasts The spell stayed in place and wet his clothes, causing Filch to catch a bad cold.

"You're right, we have to find another way." Umbridge was also tired of this game of cat and mouse.

She found that the method of dealing with students was not suitable for dealing with the Weasley brothers, and they should be regarded as the most vicious dark wizards.

That's right, in Umbridge's eyes, Fred and George are more hateful than dark wizards.

Because they are trying to overthrow the Ministry of Magic.

It's just that Umbridge can't do anything about it for the time being.

At this moment, there was a hasty knock on the door outside.

"Come in."

Umbridge sorted out his emotions and put on a false smirk again.

"Principal Umbridge, there are rumors going around in the castle that are not good for you." Malfoy said straight to the point of the latest news he had just heard.

"What rumors?" Umbridge had a bad feeling.

"A lot of people are rumoring that Fred and George will return to school next month with secret weapons... While driving you out of school, they will also send you to Azkaban." Malfoy After learning about this from other students, they ran to inform Umbridge immediately.

"I will not let their plot succeed." Umbridge said through gritted teeth, "Absolutely not."

"By the way, it seems that someone threw a few gas bombs into Mr. Administrator's office, and a stench can be smelled when passing by." Malfoy glanced at Filch and continued, "There is also a cat Being hung on the wooden door, this should be a good thing that group of people did."

"Damn it, my cat."

Filch immediately realized what was happening and rushed out of the office.

Looking at Filch's leaving back, Umbridge frowned slightly.

"Headmaster Umbridge, you seem to be in trouble." Malfoy asked knowingly.

"Mr. Malfoy, if it were you, is there any good way to catch the little beast of the Weasley family?" Umbridge looked at the young Malfoy in front of him. Fu is a little friendly.

"It is said that they know the Ministry of Magic's secret passages better than anyone else, and it is not easy to catch them using ordinary methods." Malfoy raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he was seriously thinking about the so-called method, "Perhaps, we can Start with the rebels first. Harry Potter is undoubtedly one of the masterminds of this conspiracy, and you can try to arrest them and claim that they are the creators of these conspiracy, forcing the Weasley twins to show up."

Forcing the Weasley twins to show up?

Of course not.

Malfoy just wanted to blame Harry Potter so that Umbridge could find an excuse to kick Harry Potter out of Hogwarts.

"However, even if the Weasley brothers show up and bear all the charges, it will not be easy to catch them." Malfoy did not forget to remind.

Although he is reluctant to admit it, the level of duel between Fred and George is indeed much higher than that of members of the investigation team.

Two days ago, most of the members of the investigation team were attacked by Fred and George, and they were sent to the school hospital.

While Umbridge and Malfoy were discussing the feasibility of the plan, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps in the corridor outside, and Filch broke into the office holding the stiff cat.

"Madam, please save my cat!"

Ms. Norris was petrified again, stiff as a stone.

Umbridge looked at the cat on the table and frowned slightly. Finally, under Filch's expectant eyes, he pretended to try to break the spell a few times. Filch went to find Snape.

In any case, Filch was the only helper Umbridge had at Hogwarts, and she would not give up on him easily no matter what.

"A very powerful petrification magic."

Snape poked his finger at the cat on the table and gave his judgment.

"Can it be cured?" Umbridge asked directly.

"Should work."

"Should?"

"If breaking the spell doesn't work, you can only try to use a mandrake to make a potion to break the spell." Snape picked up his wand and tried to break the spell for Mrs. Norris.

He tried several ways to break the curse, and found that one of the ways to break the curse worked, but the effect of breaking the curse was very poor.

After using it several times in a row, the cat on the table finally got rid of the petrification magic and recovered.

"Thank you, thank you."

Filch held Mrs. Norris in his arms and thanked Snape non-stop.

"Those two little brutes must have done it," Umbridge said through gritted teeth.

"It is very difficult for Hogwarts students to master such advanced dark arts." Snape did not agree with Umbridge's words.

At least, he didn't think Fred and George could do that.

"There's someone who can," Umbridge said firmly.

"You mean Anderson?"

Snape raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Umbridge. He felt that the guy in front of him wanted to make trouble.

"Yes, that's him."

"Anderson does have such an ability, but the probability of him doing that is actually not high." Snape shook his head, he felt that Umbridge was running wildly on the road to death.

Although Albert is easy to get along with, in fact, it is just an appearance. He was a very vengeful guy. Although Snape didn't like Albert, he never denied the other party's ability.

"Why?" Umbridge asked suspiciously.

"Because Anderson is not an idiot." Snape said directly, "That kind of smart guy will never do such a stupid thing that can guess who did it at a glance. If he really wants to do something, you I can't find the cat."

Umbridge was speechless, and took the initiative to change the topic, "I hope you can brew Veritaserum as soon as possible, I will use that thing soon."

"You have to wait another half a month at least, unless you want to poison the user." Snape felt that Umbridge really wanted to make trouble, he frowned and reminded: "There is one more thing, I I have to remind you that there is actually an antidote to Veritaserum, and with Anderson's potion level, it is not difficult to make an antidote to Veritaserum."

From the very beginning, Snape had no intention of giving Umbridge the real Veritaserum, so here is a reminder for him.

Teritaserum didn't work?

That is naturally the antidote for the other party's use of Veritaserum.

Throwing the blame on Albert, Snape didn't have the slightest psychological pressure. Anyway, both sides disliked each other, and he didn't think Umbridge could do anything to Albert.

Even the Dark Lord would be 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 sullen face. In her mind, she kept recalling the process of using Veritaserum to torture the students before. Did anyone in that group use the antidote of Veritaserum?

After being reminded by Snape, Umbridge was sure that the damned Mudblood was secretly preparing an antidote for Veritaserum.

As for the others, Umbridge didn't find any traces of antidote after taking Veritaserum, but it's hard to say.

As for how to lead Fred and George?

Umbridge did not make a decision immediately, but planned to consult with someone first.

Even if you successfully lure people out, you have to find a way to catch them. Once they are run away, it may be difficult to get another chance.

For this reason, Umbridge told Fudge about his plan, and Fudge convened his own people to discuss how to destroy the secret base of the Order of the Phoenix hidden in the Forbidden Forest in one go, and destroy the secret weapon carefully prepared by Dumbledore.

Kingsley, who was urgently called for a meeting, was stunned after hearing Umbridge's plan.

The Order of the Phoenix actually has other secret bases?

Why doesn't he know.

The secret base is hidden in the Forbidden Forest, and there is a large group of giant spiders guarding the entrance?

Are you sure you're not joking?

Who would guard the gate with a group of acromanders?

The whole thing sounds outrageous.

What shocked Kingsley the most was that someone really believed it, and it was Fudge, the Minister of Magic. He seemed to have made plans to take people to destroy the secret base that had never existed from the beginning.

My God, this is so magical.

Kingsley couldn't help but wonder if the so-called secret base was a hoax created by Fred and George, right?

"Is this... a bit of a fuss?"

Kingsley carefully chose his words: "Anyway, they are just two children who have not yet graduated. Moreover, if the Ministry of Magic uses Veritaserum on the students, it is likely to cause big trouble. "

"They are not students now, but accomplices trying to subvert the Ministry of Magic." Umbridge looked at Kingsley with a smirk on his face.

"I mean, this may be an excuse for others to attack the minister, and I've heard some bad news recently." Kingsley didn't continue to argue, he just did his duty, and he still Need to stay with Fudge and continue undercover.

"That's all Dumbledore's conspiracy." Fudge said angrily, he would never let Dumbledore do what he wanted, let alone allow the so-called "secret weapon" to destroy his career.

"I need the cooperation of the Aurors." Umbridge looked at Stringer.

"I will let the Auror cooperate with you, but I need the minister's transfer order." Stringer reminded.

"No problem," said Fudge.

That night, all members of the Order of the Phoenix learned of the news.

Everyone felt the whole thing was baffling except for Mrs. Weasley who was very angry at what Fred and George had done.

"We still have such a secret base in the Forbidden Forest?" Sirius cast a puzzled look at Mad-Eye.

"How is it possible? Even if there is, it's impossible to hide near the acromantula's lair." Mad-Eye Moody put down his fork and pouted, "The acromantula in the Forbidden Forest was raised by Hagrid. Who thought of pets."

"I don't think it's strange for Hagrid to raise big spiders." Bill couldn't help complaining, "I remember Charlie said that Hagrid secretly raised dragons."

"So, what's going on in this matter, and why Fred and George are involved." Mrs. Weasley asked irritably.

"Don't worry about Molly, Fred and George are very smart." Arthur comforted softly, "Maybe, they just wanted to find a reason to fool Umbridge, and the other party believed it."

"If they are really caught by the old witch." Mrs. Weasley was still very worried about her son, "We have to find a way to remind them."

"I dare say they were prepared, and even the whole thing was a deliberate scam." Sirius felt that Molly's worry was unnecessary.

"They're not your sons, of course you're not worried." Mrs. Weasley glared at Sirius disapprovingly.

"They're grown up and have their own ideas." Sirius shrugged, "Besides, Anderson is more reliable than most people here. It can be easily resolved, so you don’t actually have to worry.”

He was actually tempted to say that Mrs. Weasley's worries were unnecessary from the start, but he held back in the end.

"Okay, Molly, you should trust Fred and George." Lupine said again, "I will send a message to Minerva, she must have a way to inform Fred and George."

"So, the whole thing is a hoax?"

Tonks, who has been silent since just now, couldn't help asking, "Is the secret weapon to subvert the Ministry of Magic fake?"

"I'm afraid you should ask Fred and George about this." Sirius shrugged and changed the topic, "I heard that they plan to open a store in Diagon Alley. Have you found the location of the store?"

"It seems that they are still negotiating the price." Bill said with a smile: "They think the price is too expensive, and they seem to think that the price will drop again, so they plan to wait."

"Where did they come from Gallon~IndoMTL.com~ Mrs. Weasley looked at Bill suspiciously, "The rent of shops in Diagon Alley is not cheap. "

"Rent? No, they want to buy the store." Bill shook his head.

"Buy the shop," repeated Mr. Weasley in surprise.

"It must be Gallon from Albert. That guy is richer than you expected." Sirius was not surprised at all.

"I heard he came from a Muggle family." Tonks asked curiously.

"That guy not only won a lot of world championships, but also likes to bet on himself to win. He charges hundreds of Galleons for every divination, what do you think?" Sirius believed that Albert must have other ways to make money.

That guy is more reliable than himself and James.

If they were half as reliable as Albert back then, maybe things wouldn't be like this now.
