School life is like this, and there are always rumors and news. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoPeople are immersed in discussing Dumbledore's departure again, and most of them think that he will come back, and some people who have experienced the incident in the second-year secret room go around preaching that Dumbledore will definitely return. Ernie had been talking before going to the herb class.

Umbridge naturally won't sit idly by, she came to Hogwarts to deal with Dumbledore, but the headmaster's office was automatically closed, and she didn't seem to be the legitimate headmaster, which needed to go through a process, not a temporary decree from Fudge.

But Umbridge was far more authoritative than the principal in terms of power, and announced the formation of an 'investigation team' the next day. Recruit students who support the Ministry of Magic, made up of a select group of students hand-picked by Umbridge. Unfortunately, no one responded, and Slytherin was extremely indifferent to her actions, especially after Slytherin's loss to Ravenclaw.

Draco, Pansy, Blais, and many of his classmates declined the invitation to afternoon tea.

Phoenix and Hermione sat in the library doing their homework - most of them went to Hogsmeade for a drink or to grab a snack or joke products.

The bright afternoon sun shone through the white curtains, creating shadows that blurred Phoenix's face. Hermione rested her head on her arms and watched him write his paper earnestly.

Sometimes, girls are just too emotional. Hermione stared intently, smilingly at Phoenix's face, and he screamed several times before getting a response.

"What's wrong?" Hermione sat up dissatisfied, revealing a long paper pressed under her arm, which was definitely longer than the professor had asked for by any measure.

"Help, it's a few inches away. I just can't make it up. Phoenix put down the quill and stretched.

Hermione took the paper and frowned, "You're going to be unlucky next week." ”

"Professor Trelawney likes it. Thinking about some Muggle accident or something. ”

Hermione bit the tail of the quill, and after a few moments, she brushed down a large paragraph.

"Luna approached me yesterday - it's the one who looks a little - well," Hermione couldn't find the right adjective for a moment.

"The one who is a little trance-like and speaks in a strange tone?" said Phoenix.

"yes, she asked me if DA is going to continue?"

"After this bout, we'll continue—"

"What?" Hermione paused, "we've gotten into so much trouble." ”

"That's why it's all the more effective. Otherwise, Dumbledore really suffered in vain, at least they can master some basic magic to protect themselves, I think Dumbledore is willing to do so. Phoenix cocked his chair, "After Christmas, let's see what Umbridge plans to do." ”

"But," Hermione tried to dissuade, but changed her words for a moment, "can you restrain Slytherin?"

"It's okay now, they've given up on Umbridge completely, and you see there's a good side to everyone's love of Quidditch. ”

"What do you say about the good things they did before? Hermione said scathingly.

"Some people still have a little bit of an illusion about the team and think they can win without me. In a teasing tone, Phoenix said, "Harper isn't as good as they think." As for Draco, you know, as long as Potter can be expelled, he doesn't mind doing Umbridge a hand. ”

Hermione glanced at Phoenix angrily and continued to bow her head to help him make up various accidents.

"You have to prepare well for Christmas, a lot of my relatives will come. But don't care too much about them, Peverell has grown to the point where there are so many people. Speaking of which, Phoenix lowered his voice, "And when the time comes, I'll need to leave the ball for a while, and it has something to do with Voldemort, and I'll need to deal with it myself." So you're going to disappear for a while, so that no one asks me where I'm going. ”

"Why?"

Phoenix made a strange expression, and Hermione suddenly realized that people were going to think that way.

"What is so important?" Hermione didn't say more.

"Very important, I dare say it's Voldemort's deepest secret. ”

"Does Professor Dumbledore want to come with you?" Hermione took for granted that Dumbledore had a deep relationship with Phoenix, as Phoenix had said he had joined the Order of the Phoenix - well, he hadn't explained his relationship to the Order of the Phoenix to Hermione in detail.

"I think Dumbledore knows. Phoenix gave a vague answer, but fortunately Hermione didn't follow up. They stopped talking about the serious topics and turned to what kind of dress to wear to the Hermione ball, what perfume to wear, and some trinkets.

The two finished their homework and parted directly at the library door, and Phoenix didn't go towards the common room. He made his way to a portrait near Umbridge's office, where Snape was already waiting for him.

"No one noticed. ”

"No, everything is ready. Snape kept up with Phoenix. They stood one after the other in front of Umbridge's office, with a small sign on it: Headmaster.

He knocked on the door, only to hear a sweet voice shouting, "Come in." ”

Once inside, Phoenix felt like he had arrived somewhere else. The room was flooded with pink tones, and everything was covered with lace coverings and tablecloths. There are also several vases filled with dried flowers, each on a separate small mat. On one wall hangs a set of decorative plates, each with a large, brightly colored cat, each wearing a different bow around its neck. The stuff was disgusting, plus the smell that made him sick. It's really out of place with this castle.

Umbridge looked up and saw Snape and Phoenix together, looking confused.

With a flash of red light, her head jerked back and she fainted.

"This smell is disgusting, let's hurry up. Phoenix fanned his hand in front of him. Snape stepped forward and grabbed Umbridge's mouth and poured her the truth potion.

The surrounding cats have disappeared without a trace.

"Recover!" Phoenix said, "Can you hear me?" ”

She still hung her head, surprised that her voice was still sweet and greasy.

"Who told you to frame me, and how much good did you give?" he half-sat on his desk, which had a lot of letters and two small potted plants.

"The Bobin family. They say that if I can get you expelled, make me Minister of Magic, with a large sum of money and a recognition of pure-blood status. ”

"It's basically the same. Phoenix thought for a moment and continued, "Why did they want you to do that?"

"I don't know. She said it succinctly.

"Then why would it be unwise to be hostile at a Quidditch match. ”

"Melinda's idea, she said that you have a lot of informants, and his brother's plan may be exposed, in order to prevent you from escaping directly after getting the information, block the escape methods you may use in advance. Umbridge spoke, keeping his own unique style, and Phoenix could only listen obediently, "Melinda knows that you know the Ministry's movements well, so you won't run away with a means that could be monitored by the Ministry. ”

"So what's going on with Ron? "Phoenix didn't think her intelligence was of much value. It's not hard to guess, but Melinda's movements make it a little difficult for him to let go.

"Melinda knows that Potter and you have formed a defense team, and she also knows that you have a more secretive, lean organization. Melinda told me that she would ask Weasley to report you, but I didn't expect it to be so shoddy. ”

"That's right. Phoenix glanced at Snape, who had been on guard, "Are you still in touch?"

"No, after Dumbledore escaped, she refused to contact me. ”

Phoenix fiddled with his wand, forgetting for a moment the unpleasant aroma. Melinda wouldn't be so stupid as this, how could she be so framing, even Harry, who Fudge was mainly dealing with, couldn't succeed in such a scheme. Not to mention that Melinda knows his ability and power.

Even if there is conclusive evidence, it does not necessarily convict Phoenix. However, Umbridge could not answer these questions, apparently she had limited access to things, and was only a 'temporary worker'. From this point of view, Melinda or the Bobins are still cautious.

He got up from his desk and gave Snape a look. (To be continued.) )
