After the Christmas holidays, the weather has been gloomy, and everyone's mood is similar to the weather. Because Umbridge's presence makes everyone uncomfortable, especially from the time she begins to physically punish students with that dark magic-ridden quill. Maybe she felt that she couldn't control the situation in the school, so she could only use violent means to gag everyone's mouths.

Harry, for example, made little progress in the Occlumency practice taught by Professor Snape after Christmas, and also suffered a lot in class because of the relationship between his father and Snape. So he couldn't control his temper and confronted Umbridge in a class to question her class order and teaching content, and was locked up by the pink toad, and when he returned from Umbridge the next night, he had a white freshly healed wound on his hand.

As soon as Harry returned to the common room, Ginny asked with concern what the content of the toad's confinement was, although Harry didn't want to worry Ginny and only said that the content of confinement was just to write sentences, but the careful Ginny still noticed something wrong from Harry's frown when he first grabbed Harry's hand, and soon, she found the scar on the back of Harry's hand.

"That's what you're saying about punishing you for writing sentences?" Ginny looked very angry, her red hair like a burning flame. Harry felt himself vaguely see a young version of Mrs. Weasley. "That old dominatrix! she's not normal! Go to McGonagall and tell me about it!"

"No," said Harry without thinking, "I don't want Umbridge to know that she's upsetting me, she'll be proud." What's more, Professor McGonagall can't control Umbridge right now. ”

"What about Professor Dumbledore?" Ginny offered another option.

"No, I haven't even seen him at school lately. And I felt as if he was avoiding me. I guess it has something to do with my recent bad hunger nightmares. Harry was a little frustrated.

"Well, it doesn't matter if you don't want the professor to know. But your hands don't look like this. With that, Ginny pulled Harry up and walked to the corner of the common room. "Hermione, Ryan, can you help me see what happened to Harry's hand? ”

Ryan and Hermione looked up from the pile of parchment, and saw the marks on Harry's hands.

"Umbridge's old woman's confinement is to scratch the back of your hand with a razor?" Hermione looked at the marks on Harry's hand in surprise. "Do wizards allow torture to torture students?"

"No, it's not. Harry waved his hand. "She just told me to write with a black quill that caused a wound on my hand when I wrote, and it looked like it was written with my blood. ”

"At least this thing probably fits the definition of a dark magic item by wizards. Ryan said as he drew his wand. "Hold out your hand and I'll take a look. Harry was a little unhappy, he didn't want to show his wounds to his companions, as he felt it would make him look weak. But in the end, he couldn't help but be pulled by Ginny and stretched out his hand.

"The Light of Elendil. Ryan tapped the wound on Harry's left hand with his wand and chanted a spell in Elven language, a vibrant silvery-white light enveloping Harry's left hand. Under the silver light, a faint black mist floated out of the back of his hand, and then quickly dissolved in the silver light.

"It's a very clever black magic prop. Ryan took out a ceramic box and threw it to Ginny, "Rub this on Harry's wound, and the wound will heal quickly without any after-effects." ”

"Cleverly made, where did you see that?" asked Ginny as she opened the lid and found that the box contained an emerald green paste with a nice smell, so she picked up a little bit of me with her little finger on the back of Harry's hand and asked. "Wizards have a lot of these magic items that leave wounds on each other without touching each other, and my father encounters several of them every year. ”

"No, it's different. Finding that several of the people present were staring at him with some curiosity, Ryan decided to explain. "Usually dark magic props have a pronounced dark magic reaction, and even on wounds that come out early in these props, Harry's wounds don't have that obvious reaction. ”

After saying that, Ryan said to Harry: "Is it that every time you finish writing a sentence, the wound on the back of your hand will heal quickly, leaving only a little pain, but this pain will slowly accumulate until you end the confinement, and this pain has accumulated unbearably." ”

"No, I can stand it. Harry focused on an inexplicable point, and Ryan looked at him helplessly. He immediately realized something and said, "Yes, that's what happened to me." ”

This reaction means that the outer layer of the dark magic pen made by Umbridge is likely to have a magic similar to a healing charm, so it masks the fluctuations of dark magic power inside. Ordinary people would not be able to detect the dark magic inside without destroying the quill, and as the High Prosecutor of Hogwarts and the High Deputy Minister of Magic, no one can perform a destructive examination of his magic items. Ryan explained in a low voice.

"Can you find something from the origin of this pen, such as buying illegal dark magic products?" Hermione thought a little.

"Nothing should be checked. Ryan shook his head, "As far as I know, Umbridge is a very careful person. So she shouldn't fall for anything in this regard. And I think it's very likely that she made the pen herself. ”

"How is that possible? just her?" Harry let out a scornful laugh, "that old woman who would only make us go to school at this level?"

Ryan finally figured out why Harry was so big in the original book that they still held their DA assembly as usual when they were inexplicably missing someone, because in Harry's mind, this person who had never shown his magic level in front of everyone was probably the same as Lockhart in the second year, so he naturally didn't take her to heart.

"Don't look down on Umbridge, it's true that she's been able to climb to where she is today is inextricably linked to her scheming. But it is impossible for a man who can merely stalk to a horse to climb from the lowest level of the Ministry of Magic to the position he is today. Ryan saw that Harry still had a look of disbelief on their faces, so he broke the news. "Based on the information I've gathered, Umbridge can conjure a cat-like Patronus. ”

"Merlin!" "It's unbelievable. Harry's eyes widened in surprise at the last sentence. For Harry in particular, as a wizard who can conjure a physical Patronus, he knows how difficult it can be.

"Then why didn't she show her magic? I've never seen her show her magic. After a few seconds of silence, Ginny asked her inner question, because wizards would respect those with great mana no matter what, and if Umbridge showed her magic skills, it would probably be much less resistant than it was now.

Because she knew that she had entered Hogwarts as a member of the Ministry of Magic, she had to make the most of her identity in this situation. Putting himself on the front line of confrontation if he uses magic, Umbridge is an extremely selfish person. She leans to Fudge only because Fudge can bring her benefits, so she won't give everything for Fudge. ”

With that, Ryan used his wand to dissolve the remaining dark magic power on Harry's other hand, and then put away his wand and said to Ginny and Harry. "Alright, the wound on Harry's hand has healed, but I personally recommend that it is better not to provoke Umbridge as much as possible lately, because we have more valuable things to do than vent our emotions. ”

"There's some truth to what you're saying, and I'll try to keep myself under control. As Ginny helped Harry apply the medicine, Harry turned his head and said solemnly.
