Chapter Eighty-Nine: Umbridge's Death
Snape pulled out a small pot of plants from his pocket, which looked a lot like crab claw orchids. The pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info hangs low and connects the secondary claws shaped like a crab, and the color is lilac.
Carefully dropping two drops of potion on it, it immediately faded its original color and turned into a graphite black, and the low-hanging knots drifted in the air like aquatic plants. The devil's web has shed its camouflage and transformed into a plant that kills people.
Phoenix and Snape donned thick dragon skin gloves and grabbed Umbridge's arm to touch the devil's net. Tentacle-like vines wrapped around Umbridge's entire arm.
He laboriously moved some vines to Umbridge's mouth and nose, and Snape transferred some vines to her neck.
"Voldemort has a plan lately—what?" Phoenix was battling a vine that wouldn't leave his arm.
"Christmas--a-temptation--" said Snape, "I don't know the exact plan--but he'll show Potter -"
"Very well," Phoenix sighed, "you have to tell him that Potter has a girlfriend, a Ravenclaw Seeker, and their relationship has been heating up lately. Best of all, Potter couldn't confirm whether Cho had actually been taken by Voldemort. ”
"Will he risk his life to save her?" Snape pulled out another bottle of crimson potion, which would further stimulate the Devil's Web.
"Yes. Autumn after Christmas, will not be back immediately, there is plenty of time. Phoenix was also looking for something in his pocket, and in a blink of an eye his entire arm was in his pocket.
"Ah, here—" Phoenix pulled out an envelope, opened it, and mixed it with the letters on his desk. The content is to wish her the appointment of the headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and give her a pot of crab claw orchid.
Snape put Umbridge's wand in the distance.
The whole scene looks like an accident, and every year people die because of the devil's net, mostly in Europe and North America. The wand tradition allows these areas to perform better and stronger magic, and to some extent makes wizards dependent on wands, making them extremely vulnerable when they are not in their hands.
As he was leaving, Phoenix touched the Devil's Net again, and the vines had become as thick as an adult's arm. There was a crisp sound, maybe Umbridge's bones were broken, or maybe his neck was broken. He didn't look back, closed the door and went downstairs to dinner.
When I came to the auditorium, it was the peak time for dining.
The people who had just returned from Hogsmeade were eating and drinking in their seats with laughter and laughter. From time to time, tell your friends about the interesting things you see. For example, what Draco was talking about.
"--They're kissing in the alley behind the bar, you can't guess who?" Draco said in a dramatic tone, tucking the roast lamb chops onto his plate, "Blais." ”
"What's wrong with Brace?" Phoenix sat down across from him.
"He had a girlfriend and had been pretending to be tall before. Knott said with a grin.
"It's a Ravenclaw, I know. It doesn't feel like it's in our grade," Draco said, fork in his mouth, "I think it's sixth or seventh." ”
"How can you be sure?"
"In many ways, you can see that she is very mature, and it turns out that he likes this kind of thing. Another sinister laugh erupted at the Slytherin table.
"Daphne, go and inquire. Phoenix told her with great interest.
"What? Why do you want me to go? Daphne munched on the salad.
"I remember you had a sister, wasn't she in Ravenclaw?"
"She's a Slytherin. Daphne said annoyedly.
"Well, that's embarrassing. I've never seen it before," he got up and scanned the real table, and found a little girl with silver hair, timidly talking to a girl.
Well, it's really embarrassing, and it can only be said that her sister is too non-existent. She was sitting in the fourth year, which meant that she had been at Hogwarts for several years. Phoenix had never met this little sister.
"Then you can also try, you girls always have your own little circle and sources. "He doesn't give up. Brace has always shown no interest in girls, and last year at the Yule Ball, several good-looking girls invited him, but they were all turned down. Going to the meeting alone, Brace was not like Crabbe or Goyle.
The people around her also persuaded Daphne to ask, and the girl always heard this kind of news. She can forcefully refuse Phoenix's request, but she can't withstand everyone's request.
The next day, instead of bringing news of Blaise's girlfriend, Daphne pulled out a morning copy of the Daily Prophet.
"What's wrong? didn't you ask?" asked Phoenix and Draco together.
She spread the newspaper onto the table and pointed to the ten black-and-white photographs that filled the front page, the faces of nine wizards and a witch, some laughing silently, some arrogantly tapping their fingers against the borders. Each photo is marked with a name and a crime for which he was imprisoned in Azkaban.
Antonin Dolokhov, a wizard with a long, pale, distorted face, sneered at Phoenix.
August Luckwood, a pock-faced man with glossy hair leaning against the frame and a tired expression, leaks Ministry of Magic secrets to the mysterious man.
But Phoenix's eyes were drawn to the witch. Her face jumped into his eyes at the first glance of the newspaper, and her long black hair looked unkempt in the photo. Her eyes under her thick eyelids stared at him, and a haughty, contemptuous smile appeared on her thin lips. An old friend who helped him, though she herself would not remember it.
Bellatrix Lestrange, who tortures Frank and Alice Longbottom, causing them to be permanently disabled.
The Azkabans escaped from prison, and the Ministry of Magic feared that Blake was a "caller" for the Death Eaters. "The Ministry of Magic announced a mass prison break in Azkaban yesterday night.
In an interview in his office, Minister Cornelius Fudge confirmed that the 10 felons had escaped last night and that he had informed the Muggle Prime Minister of the danger of the fugitives.
"It's a shame that we're in the same situation as we were when murderer Sirius Black escaped two and a half years ago," Fudge said last night, "and we don't think there was no connection between the two prison breaks." Such a large-scale prison escape raises suspicion that there is an outside response, and Blake, as the one who escaped from Azkaban, is in the best position to help others escape from prison. Among the fugitives was Blake's cousin, Bellatrix Lestrange. We believe that these fugitives may have Blake as their leader. However, the Ministry of Magic is working tirelessly to track down the fugitives, and asks the public to remain vigilant and not to approach these key criminals. ”
Phoenix looked around the auditorium, where there was a rare buzz in the breakfast-time auditorium. Few people read the newspaper every day, but the news spread like a virus.
"Uh, oh my god—" Daphne exclaimed, still reading the newspaper. Similar cries could be heard from the rest of the auditorium for less than a minute.
"What's going on?" Draco asked absent-mindedly. Phoenix calmly ate the eggs.
"It's horrible. Daphne folded the tenth edition and handed it to Phoenix.
Headmaster of Hogwarts and Professor of Defence Against the Dark Arts, Dorelos Umbridge died in his office yesterday evening. Further investigation is underway, with Minerva McGonagall appointed interim headmaster.
St. Mungo's Hospital and Ministry of Magic officials conducted a full investigation into Professor Umbridge's death, and initially believed that Ms. Umbridge had been strangled in her office by a potted plant, most likely due to a gift from a close friend of hers.
Her friend ignored the dangerous nature of the plant, and failed to see that it was not a harmless crab claw orchid, but a devil's net. But we don't rule out other possibilities, which are also very likely to be the work of Dumbledore's supporters at school. We will investigate further. The Ministry of Magic's Magical Law Enforcement Team spoke.
"Further investigation?" Draco watched, raising an eyebrow.
"Professor McGonagall was arraigned, perhaps. (To be continued.) )
