The wizards of the Special Investigations Task Force gathered in groups at the door of Umbridge's office, and they were all informed of the summons. But after a long wait, the door to Umbridge's office was still closed.

Emily lowered her head and leaned quietly against the wall, her long, curly eyelashes fluttering slightly, Pansy next to her, but she no longer dared to touch her head like before, treating Emily with the same attitude as a child. Ever since the night of her first party at Umbridge before Christmas, the other day she had overheard Emily sitting in front of the make-up mirror with a blank face and suddenly smiling sweetly, and constantly practising to say "a basket of kisses" in the sweetest possible way, she could no longer treat the little girl nicknamed Sweet Bear as an innocent and ignorant little girl. In retrospect, Emily told the Special Investigations team some time ago that the Gryffindor Quidditch players didn't like her so that her brother Alan's team could easily win the next match.

As if noticing Pansy's gaze, Emily looked up and gave Pansy an equally sweet smile, then frowned and tapped the ground with her little leather boots, "Pansy, I'm a little tired of standing. ”

"I'll ask," Pansy simply stood up and walked to the door of Umbridge's office and held out her hand to knock on the door, but she heard the sound of Umbridge talking to a male voice through the door, she tried to hear it more clearly, but the voice stopped abruptly. She hesitated for a moment, knocked lightly on the door three times, and the third knock was just over, and a dazzling fire erupted from the crack in the door.

Umbridge's voice came from inside the room, "Please wait for me a little longer." ”

When the fire had died down and a long time had passed, the office door was opened, and Umbridge walked out by the collar of a dazed Ron, looking less complacent than before, but preoccupied.

"Argus, please take you and all of you to surround all the entrances and exits on the eighth floor of the castle. "Umbridge to Argus?? Filch confessed, handed Ron to Crabbe and Goyle, and ordered, "Watch out for him, my boys." ”

"Miss Ekmore, you're behind Miss Parkinson. Umbridge grabbed a girl who had been hiding her head in her collar outside her company and pushed her to Pansy's side.

Umbridge left the office with his head held high, and gave Filch a look that looked at everyone, and Filch nodded knowingly.

"It seems that Potter is in danger this time, but in this case, even if Alan knows, he can't blame us. Pansy noticed Umbridge and Filch's eye contact, and understood their intentions in asking Filch to spy on their Special Investigations team.

"Honey bee candy. Umbridge said rhythmically as she stood in front of the door of the headmaster's office, and the stone monster jumped aside, the wall behind her splitting in half, and she walked up the moving stone staircase to the bright door, which had a sphin-headed knocker on it, but Umbridge didn't bother to knock, she took a step and went straight in.

The office was packed with people. Dumbledore sat behind the desk with a serene expression, his slender fingertips clasped together. Professor McGonagall stood straight beside him, her expression very nervous. Minister of Magic Cornelly?? Fudge stood by the fire, swaying gently back and forth excitedly, clearly pleased with the situation. Rufus?? Scrimgeour and a few other wizards dressed as Aurors stood on either side of the gate like guards, and several TV station crews were holding cameras to film what was happening in front of them.

Freckled, bespectacled Percy?? Weasley walked excitedly around the wall, quill in hand and a thick roll of parchment, apparently ready to take notes.

"I've sent someone to surround the entire eighth floor. Umbridge said. There was a very inappropriate excitement in her tone.

"Good. Fudge said appreciatively, "So, Dumbledore, we have found an illegal student organization in this school, the Dumbledore Army, maybe you can tell me what is going on?"

"Oh, Dumbledore's Army?" Dumbledore's face showed an expression of disbelief, as if he had no idea and was very surprised.

"Minister, I think," Umbridge said softly beside Fudge, "that if we had gone straight to the field, maybe we would have progressed a little faster." ”

"Yes, yes, go ahead. Fudge nodded, motioning for Umbridge to lead the way, and he glanced at Dumbledore maliciously, "Nothing is worth seeing with your own eyes, is it, Dumbledore? ”

Fudge lifted his chin in Fawkes's direction, "Let's go." "The Aurors of the Ministry of Magic came up directly, and the reason why Umbridge took such a risk was to prevent Dumbledore from using the ability of the phoenix to make Harry?? Potter and the others escaped, and it wasn't until Fudge and the others went to the Headmaster's office to keep an eye on Dumbledore that she dared to take real action. After all, she had just seen Phoenix's abilities up close in her office, and for this reason, she had to go behind Fudge's back and agree to some conditions that seemed unreasonable to her.

Determined, Umbridge took the lead, and a group of people followed her and went straight to the fourth floor with great momentum and menacing.

In the Responsive Room, Harry and the others were practicing the Patronus Charm, when suddenly Hannah rushed in and shouted in horror, "We are surrounded, I just saw Filch and the Special Investigation Team outside, it seems that Umbridge is no longer satisfied with letting Filch guard this place alone!"

Everyone stopped practicing and stared blankly at Hannah.

"Umbridge must have found something, could it have something to do with that new interrogation notice?" Harry said with a sad face, feeling a little regretful, although they saw the notice in the afternoon, they didn't pay much attention to it, he believed that no one would be willing to betray them for Umbridge, and as a Gryffindor, he didn't intend to give in and change his original training plan.

Seamus looked around the room, "Ron, he hasn't come here yet, so he won't be caught, right?"

"Don't forget that Ron is often late. Neville pleaded for Ron.

Autumn?? With a pale face, she raised her hand and said, "Marietta hasn't arrived yet, she's not usually late." ”

"What now?" said Hannah, who shrieked at the thought of Umbridge's punishments.

Harry straightened up, glanced at the panicked people, and looked very calm: "They can't get in anyway!" But the wand in his hand that was spinning crampedly betrayed him, and he couldn't even think of a good way for a while, instead the thought of "if only Hermione or Alan were here" in his head.

"Why are we guarding this empty hallway?" asked Dumbledore, clasping his hands and calmly.

Umbridge dragged Ron, who was still in a trance, to the front, "Ron?? Weasley, he told me that tonight, in a secret room on the eighth floor of the castle known as the Room of Requirement, the illegal organization of the Dumbledore Army is usually organized by Harry?? Mr. Porter held an illegal assembly there. ”

Dumbledore glanced at Ron, who was in a trance, and said in a low voice: "Looking at Mr. Weasley's current state, I'm afraid his words can't be used as evidence, and the credibility is not high, obviously this is not from his own will." In addition, I have serious suspicions that Mr. Weasley was illegally used by someone to use the potion of truth, and that Hogwarts' ban on the use of the agent on students is protected and sanctioned by the laws of the British Ministry of Magic. ”

Fudge frowned, but Umbridge smiled even sweeter, "Minister, Headmaster Dumbledore, we have another whistleblower, a sane whistleblower. ”
