PS: 200 monthly pass plus more

Marietta Ekmo is not pretty, one could even say a little ugly.

She had reddish blonde curl hair, was slightly chubby, and had quite a few freckles on her face.

When she walked into the basement of the Three Broomsticks Bar, she looked scared......

"Dear Marietta!" Selwyn stood up, walked over to her, and took her arm affectionately.

Like a puppet being pulled together, Marietta was led by Selwyn to the round table, and then sat down.

She glanced timidly at the group of Slytherin students around her...... Even though she was a sixth-grader from Ravenclaw, older than most of the members of the room.

She looked at Selwyn pleadingly, "Please, Tiffany...... Don't make me ......"

"There's no need to talk about it, it's just a party...... Selwyn said softly.

She then picked up the butterbeer with the trutruth potion and handed it to Marietta Ekmo.

"Drink, Marietta!" she whispered.

Marietta Ekmo's trembling hand took the glass of Butterbeer.

"As long as you drink it all, we'll be friends!" Selwyn's voice was quite seductive, "If we become friends, we won't force you to say what you don't want to say......"

"Really?" Marietta gave Selwyn a look of disbelief, "Tiffany...... You're not going to trouble my mother, are you?"

"Of course!" Selwyn nodded in a friendly voice.

Miss Marietta-Ekmo seemed to have made up her mind, and she raised the glass of butterbeer.

Jon frowned, looking at the naïve Ravenclaw girl, grunting, and gulping down an entire glass of Butterbeer in one go.

......

Miss Marietta-Ekmo seemed a little uncomfortable, and she hugged her head at once and let out a few moans......

After more than ten seconds, she reopened her eyes, becoming blank, her cheeks flabby, and her demeanor glazed.

"Can you hear me?" Jon asked calmly.

Marietta's eyelids twitched a few times.

"I can hear you. She whispered.

"Selwyn, Pansy, take the pen...... Write down everything she says. Jon turned and ordered the two girls.

They began to rummage through their bags quickly.

"Who are you?" Jon asked first.

"Marietta Ekmo. She took a deep breath with a shudder, and then spoke in an emotionless, flat tone.

"Did you join Porter, Weasley, and Granger, an organization that opposes Professor Dolores Umbridge? Jon continued to ask in that soothing tone, "Tell me everything you know about this organization!"

"That's right...... On the first Sunday in October, Gryffindor's Granger organized the party, which I didn't want to go, but Cho forcibly pulled me over because her boyfriend, Cedric, was also there......"

"Getting to the point!" interrupted Marietta with some impatience.

As soon as she was interrupted, Marietta looked a little scared...... She looked around in a panic, barely speechless.

Jon glared at Blaise Shabini, who smiled awkwardly and retracted his head.

"Comfort her!" Jon gave Selwyn a wink.

Selwyn hurriedly leaned over and hugged Marietta, and it took a gentle speech to stabilize her mood.

Looking at Marietta, who was gradually calming down, Jon asked again, "Marietta, that gathering organized by Granger...... Tell us everything about it!"

"At the Hog's Head Bar, Granger and Potter told us to convince us to add an illegal group called the 'Army of Dumbledore' that we started out only to oppose Umbridge and reveal the truth about Jon Hart's death, but with Professor Alastor Moody leaving the school, our goal was to practice some self-defense spells......"

Marietta whispered.

When she mentions "Dumbledore's Army (.)" , all the members of the "Dolores Support Association (.)" had a strange look on their faces.

"Pretty coincidentally, isn't it?" Sean-Avery whispered into Jon's ear.

"That's right!" Jon nodded calmly on the surface, but smug in his heart.

Marietta continues to tell the truth: "...... For the past few months, we have had one or two meetings a week in a secret room on the eighth floor, which is sometimes said to be called the Room of Requirement......"

"And what about your next meeting?" asked Jon when Marietta had finished

Marietta, still in that flat tone without emotion, describes: "...... Granger gave each of us a gold Galleon, and the time of the meeting was shown the day in advance. ”

As she spoke, she took the gold coin out of her pocket.

Jon was about to reach out, but then he thought about what if Hermione had cast some evil spell on the gold coin, and everyone else would be cursed if they touched it, except for the members of Dumbledore's Army......

"Brace, take it and give it to Professor Umbridge now!" Jon looked at Brace Shabini.

Poor Brace and Sabini didn't guess the little ninety-nine in Jon's heart, and he quickly stood up and picked up the gold Galleon.

"Leave it to me, Christopher!" he said as he walked out of the basement and trotted towards the castle.

......

After more than ten minutes of interrogation—

Miss Marietta-Ekmo explained everything, and as Jon had expected, there were no purple pustules on her face......

Pansy Parkinson and Tiffany Selwyn have also been recorded.

"Then let's disband......" Jon stood up and spoke.

Worried that Selwyn would continue to pester him, Jon hurried out of the basement and out of the Three Broomsticks Bar.

"Looks like Christophe has a date?" said the few members who remained.

"Looks like it, I don't know who it is?"

......

A few minutes later, Jon arrived at the door of Lady Padiv's teahouse.

Since it's Valentine's Day, it's a little more lively than usual.

His left hand held down the ring on his right hand, ready to take it off, and Jon bowed his head, ready to burrow into the teahouse.

"Oops......"

As a result, he was not careful, and he collided with a girl at the door of the teahouse.

"I'm sorry......" Jon said quickly, looking up as he spoke.

He was stunned for a moment.

The girl in front of her was also stunned for a moment, she frowned slightly, and then quickly reacted.

"Are you here for my sister, Mr. Patrick?" asked Daphne Greengrass calmly.
