"Are you sure it's here?" Silver looked at James, who was trembling a little, with a playful expression. Harden, the trembling black kid is a second-year Hufflepuff student.

"I'm sure! I saw Potter go in. Harden said.

"Well, if we go in and catch Potter and the gang, then I'll consider asking Professor Umbridge for credit for you to join the investigative team as well." Draco. Malfoy patted Harden on the shoulder, "Now, Harden, what are you calling with your friend?" ”

"I'm Terrence. Jones. The other black boy said.

"Very well, Harden, you take your friend Jones, go in first to see if Potter is in there, and then we'll rush in and grab Potter and them." Draco. Malfoy said.

Silver looked at the jubilant backs of Harden and Jones and said to Malfoy, "Is it really good for you to lie to them like this?" They were Muggle-borns, and they were only second-year boys, and Professor Umbridge wouldn't have recruited such a person into the investigative team. ”

"I didn't lie to them, I said I would do a good job for them, but whether Professor Umbridge accepted them into the investigation team or not is Professor Umbridge's own business. If I can't, I can't help it. Malfoy said.

"Do you think they'll be able to catch Potter?" Malfoy.

"I don't think so, Malfoy." Silver said.

"You mean these two little ones are lying to us?" Malfoy said skeptically.

"That's not what it means, Potter and his gang of friends should have been seen by these two little guys, but they can't find Potter like this, Malfoy."

"And what do you mean—"

Harden and Jones crashed into the wall.

"These two idiots." Malfoy slashed his kick in frustration.

"Let's all go up and have a look." Silver said.

It was already late at night, and there were no other people or ghosts roaming the corridors on the eighth floor, except for Silver and other members of the investigation team. Harden and Jones, the two black boys, rolled on the ground with their foreheads covered, and they looked confused just now.

"You two idiots, why did you hit the wall? It's even more stupid than a Muggle. Malfoy pointed at Harden and Jones. What about Potter? Could Potter be in this wall? ”

"Don't worry, Malfoy." Silver looked at the huge tapestry hanging on the wall, where the troll was beating Barnabas, a fool trying to teach him to dance.

A very smooth door appeared on the wall. Silver grabbed the brass handle and pulled the door open, revealing a spacious room with torches lit, like in an underground classroom. "Go inside, they should be in there."

"I've never heard of this place." Malfoy looked at Silver strangely.

"It only goes to show that Slytherin has explored so little Hogwarts, and that there are so many other interesting things about this ancient castle." Silver made a "you please first" gesture.

"Crabbe, why have you been listless lately. You and Goyle take the two black boys to the front later, and make sure that Potter doesn't escape. Malfoy began to command his men.

"Miss Parkinson, please go and inform Professor Umbridge that we have caught Harry who is engaged in an illegal student organization. Potter, the others are guarding the doorway, take out your wands, and don't let the Potters go. Silver said.

"Why do I think you're more commanding a Slytherin than I am?" Malfoy said.

"Because I'm the leader of the investigative team, Malfoy." Silver said. "Let's go in together."

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

A faint cloud of smoke erupted from the tip of Ron's wand. "Harry, I really can't do it. The Patronus Charm is too hard. ”

"Don't worry, Ron, think about those jolly things."

"Don't talk to the stupid Ron." George commanded his raccoon patronus to float through the air, "his brain small enough to pour a glass of water." ”

Fred's monkey patronus happily somersaulted on the ground. "That's right. Harry, you might as well give up, little Ronnie, do you want your brothers to lend you three Galleons to go to Silver's Defence Against the Dark Arts cram school? Even Neville had learned the Patronus Charm there. ”

"It's a pity. You're too late to realize, you really shouldn't have saved those three Galleons. An oily voice came.

"Who?" The Patronus was gone, and the room was much darker than it had been before.

"It's me. Porter. Malfoy walked over, Crabbe and Goyle drew their wands and pointed at Potter, while Harden and Jones hid behind them.

"Very well, Potter, you have a private meeting to practice Defence Against the Dark Arts, which Professor Umbridge has repeatedly decreed."

"How did I not know that practicing Defence Against the Dark Arts was forbidden? Didn't Silver's Defence Against the Dark Arts cram schools all get Umbridge's approval? Harry clenched his wand.

"You're wrong, Harry." Silver also appears in front of Potter and the others. "My Defence Against the Dark Arts cram school was approved by Professor Umbridge, and you didn't get permission to practice Defence Against the Dark Arts in private with others, which means—"

"That means you're breaking the education rules, Potter!" Umbridge panting and Pansy. Pankinson ran over.

"It's him!" When she saw Harry, she beamed and said, "Great, Jack, Draco, great, ha, great—fifty points each for Ravenclaw and Slytherin!" I'm going to take him away? Drop your wand, Potter! ”

"And you, Weasleys." Malfoy said.

"Don't embarrass us, gentlemen of Gryffindor." Silver saw that Harry wanted to fight back. "If you are caught now, you are only violating the rules of education, and if you attack the professor, you will definitely be expelled from Hogwarts."

Harry glared at the two of them and put his wand away. Umbridge's hand gripped his arm like a vice. Ron put away his wand in frustration. George and Fred weren't much affected, and they greeted Silver with a grin.

"We guessed you'd be coming to fight your rival Harry. Potter's. The Weasley brothers grinned, not looking at all frustrated by being caught. How's business going? Silver. ”

"As prosperous as your business, gentlemen." Silver said.

"You can do it yourself, Jack. It's up to you whether you're locked up or deducted points, and as the leader of the investigative action team, you have that power. "Now, you come with me to the Headmaster's office, Potter and Weasley." ”

Umbridge's toad glasses stared at Harry viciously. Potter and Ron. Weasley.

"One is a boy who won't die, and the other is a prefect at Hogwarts, who violated the curfew and started an illegal student organization without authorization, I want to see what Dumbledore should say now!" (To be continued......)
