374, the most terrifying scene
Umbridge became the new headmaster, and his arrogance was unparalleled. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
But her position is not precarious, or rather, there are too many people who oppose her. It's just that most of the people are powerless, or don't dare to resist at all, and only a few dare to resist her, or even completely ignore her orders, such as Weasley's twin brother!
The annual 0.W.Ls exam has finally arrived, and all fifth-grade students must go through this exam, and only if they pass this exam can they be considered a real wizard.
As exams approached, teachers stopped giving students homework; Classroom time is spent entirely reviewing questions that teachers think are most likely to come up in the exam. This pretentious, anxious atmosphere drove almost all 0.W.Ls other things out of Harry's mind than exams; In Potions class, though, he sometimes wondered if Lupin had talked to Snape about continuing to teach him Occlumency. If Lupin had said that, then Snape would have ignored him as he did with Harry now. Harry thought it was good; Even without Snape's extra lessons, he was busy and nervous enough. What made him feel relieved was that Hermione had been so engrossed these days that she hadn't bothered him about Occlumency; She often muttered something to herself, and hadn't dressed the house-elves in days.
As 0.W.Ls exams approached, Hermione wasn't the only one behaving strangely. Ernie McMillan has developed an annoying habit of inquiring more and more about other people's revision times.
I won't go into the specifics of the exam, but at the time of a certain written exam, all the candidates were gathered in the hall, and Umbridge stood on the high platform at the end, smiling at the students below.
But at this moment, there was a sudden strange sound outside the closed door, and the attention of the candidates was attracted to it, and Umbridge was no exception, she walked towards the door in confusion, and her steps became faster and faster.
But just as she was about to reach the door, the door suddenly opened, and the twin brothers flew in with a whistling voice. As they fly, they also throw out the fireworks toys they studied. Countless fireworks bloomed in the hall, the big ones were the size of a house, and the small ones were not much bigger than eggs.
Umbridge stared at all of this in amazement, his expression full of horror and bewilderment.
But the prank didn't stop there, as the twin brothers, after hovering for more than a dozen weeks, suddenly swooped down and threw a firework bomb at Umbridge. The fireworks exploded, turning into a giant fire dragon, and Umbridge screamed and ran out the door. But the dragon's speed was so fast that she had barely run out of the hall when the dragon engulfed her, and then exploded into countless small fireworks, shattering all the educational orders on the walls on both sides.
"Ah!!h
Umbridge screamed, angrily drawing her wand.
Before she could cast the spell, the twins had already rushed out, into the free sky outside.
Countless students ran out of the school, cheering at the two smaller and smaller black dots in the sky.
Harry was among them, but at that moment, the image of Sirius being captured and tortured suddenly flashed in front of his eyes, and the pain of the distance made him collapse to the ground, and Hermione hurriedly came over to help him up.
Harry was dizzy, and the image of Sirius being tortured could not be dispelled, and it took him a moment to come out of the crowd before he woke up violently.
"Voldemort captured Sirius."
"What?"
"How-?"
"I saw it. Just now. ”
"But—but where? How did you catch it? Hermione asked, her face pale.
"I don't know how I caught it," Harry said, "but I know exactly where. There is a room full of shelves in the Department of Mysteries, and the shelves are full of glass balls, and they are at the end of the 97th row of shelves...... There was something he wanted, and he wanted to use Sirius to get it...... He was torturing Sirius...... He said he would kill Sirius eventually! ”
Harry noticed his voice trembling, as did his knees. He moved to a table and sat down, trying to calm himself down.
"How do we get there?" He to them.
There was silence for a while. Then Ron asked. "Go—where?"
"Go to the Department of Mysteries, go save Sirius!" Harry said loudly.
"But—Harry......" Ron said weakly.
"What? What the? Harry said.
He couldn't understand why they were all staring at him dumbfounded, as if he was asking them to do something ridiculous.
"Harry," Hermione said timidly, "oh...... How...... Voldemort entered the Ministry of Magic, how could no one find out? ”
"How do I know?" Harry yelled, "The question is how do we get in!" ”
"But...... Harry, think about it," Hermione said, taking a step towards him, "It's five o'clock in the afternoon...... The Ministry of Magic must be full of staff...... How could it be that no one saw Voldemort and Sirius enter? Harry...... Of all the wanted wizards, they are probably the two most famous...... Do you think they'll be able to enter a building full of Aurors without being detected? ”
"I don't know, maybe Voldemort is wearing an invisibility cloak or something!" Harry shouted, "Anyway, every time I go to the Department of Mysteries, there's no one-"
"You've never been there, Harry," Hermione said softly, "you dreamed of that place, but that's it. ”
"Those are no ordinary dreams!" Harry yelled at her as he stood up and took a step closer to her, trying to grab her and shake her a few times, "How do you explain Ron's dad?" So what's going on? How would I have known what had happened to him? ”
"He's got to the point." Ron looked at Hermione and said softly.
"But it's just-it's impossible!" Hermione was so anxious that she couldn't say, "Harry, Sirius is always in Grimmauld Place, how could Voldemort catch him?" ”
"Sirius probably couldn't help but just want some fresh air." Ron said worriedly, "He'd wanted to get out of that house for a long time—"
"But why," Hermione insisted, "why on earth did Voldemort want to use Sirius to get that weapon or something?" ”
"I don't know, there could be many reasons!" Harry yelled at her, "Maybe it's because Voldemort doesn't care if Sirius lives or dies—"
"You know, I just thought," Ron said in a low voice, "Sirius's cousin is a Death Eater, right?" Maybe he told Sirius the secret of how to get his weapons! ”
"yes—that's why Dumbledore would love to keep Sirius in the house all the time!" Harry said.
"Look, I'm sorry," Hermione shouted, "but you two don't have a point, and we don't have any proof of these things, not even that Voldemort and Sirius were in that place—"
"Hermione, Harry sees them!" Ron said as he turned to her.
"All right," she said, her expression alarmed but determined, "but what are we going to do?" ”
"I don't know." Harry said nervously, "Maybe we can use Floo Net to get there." ”
"Umbridge will be watching all entrances and exits!"
Hermione reminded.
"There must have been no surveillance." Harry thought for a moment, "Let's go to Umbridge's office!" ”
Hermione and Ron had no choice but to follow Harry into Umbridge's office.
Walking through the familiar room to the fireplace, Harry lit the green flame and turned to look at his two companions.
"You go and inform the Order of the Phoenix......"
"Are you crazy?"
Hermione shoved him away, "Are you going to go alone?" No, we'll go with you. ”
"No, it's too dangerous." Harry shook his head.
"When will you realize? We are companions! ”
Hermione crouched down and looked at him with a serious expression.
"You're right!"
Umbridge's voice suddenly sounded behind Harry, and the three of them quickly turned their heads, and Umbridge had appeared behind them out of nowhere.
Before Harry could speak, he felt a sharp pain in the top of his head, and he looked up to see Umbridge's pale, broad face. She grabbed him by the hair and dragged him out of the fire, trying to pull his neck back, as if trying to make his throat split.
"You light the fire, where do you want to go? Is it to find Dumbledore? ”
"I didn't—" Harry said trying to break free of her. He felt some hair and scalp separate.
"Liar!" Umbridge shouted, slapping Harry in the face again. She shoved Harry out of her side, and Harry slammed into the table. Now he saw Hermione being screwed by Millison Boss, with her hands pressed against the wall. Malfoy leaned on the windowsill, smirking as he tossed Harry's wand into the air with one hand and caught it.
"Well, Potter," she said, "you have placed sentries around my office and sent this fool," she nodded at Ron—and Malfoy laughed even louder.
"Obviously, the place you're going to is very important to you. What is it? ”
Hearing this, Malfoy and some of the members of the investigative action team laughed even more. Harry felt resentment in his heart, and his body trembled.
"It's none of your business where I go." He roared.
Umbridge's flabby face seemed to tense.
"Very well," she said in the most frightening, hypocritical gentleness, "very well, Mr. Potter...... I gave you the opportunity to confess to me. But you refused. I have no choice but to force you. Draco - Get Professor Snape in. ”
After a few minutes......
"You want to see me, Headmaster?" Snape said. With a grim expression, he glanced at each of the struggling students.
"Ah, Professor Snape," Umbridge said, "I'd like another bottle of Truth Elixir, the sooner the better, please." ”
"Last time you took my last bottle of Interrogation Potter," he said, looking coldly at her through the greasy, curtain-like black hair, "you must not have used it all, did you?" I told you, three drops is enough. ”
Umbridge blushed.
"Can you make some more?" Her voice, she said, grew sweeter and sweeter like that of a little girl, as she always did when she was annoyed.
"Of course," Snape pouted, "it would take a full lunar cycle to make, so I'll get it ready for you in about a month." ”
"A month?" Umbridge shouted in a rough voice, raising her voice like a toad, "A month? But I want it tonight, Snape! I just found out that Potter was using my stove fire to get somewhere! ”
"Really?" Snape said, turning his head to look at Harry, a slightly interested expression for the first time, "Well, I'm not surprised. Potter never showed much desire to follow the school rules. ”
His cold dark eyes stared at Harry's eyes in disgust, and Harry met his gaze unflinching, concentrating on what he had seen in his dreams, hoping that Snape would read it in his brain so that he could make sense of it......
"I want to interrogate him!" Umbridge shouted, and Snape's eyes turned away from Harry and back to Umbridge's twitching face, "I want you to give me a potion so I can force him to tell me the truth!" ”
"I've already told you," Snape said calmly, "I don't have any more truth elixir. Unless you wish to poison Potter - and if you do, I can assure you that I would approve of you - I can't help you. The only trouble is that most venoms work so quickly that the victim doesn't have much time to tell the truth. ”
Snape glanced at Harry again, then turned to leave.
Harry knew that the last chance to inform the Order of the Phoenix was to walk out of the room.
"He's grabbed the big foot!" He shouted, "He grabbed the bigfoot where it was hidden!" ”
Snape put one hand on Umbridge's doorknob and stopped.
"Bigfoot?" Professor Umbridge shouted, eagerly looking at Harry and then at Snape, "What's a bigfoot?" What is hidden somewhere? What the hell does he mean, Snape? ”
"I don't know." Snape said coldly, then turned to leave.
Umbridge's chest heaved violently, and it was clear that she had gone mad.
"Very well," she said, drawing her wand, "very well...... I had no other choice...... This is more important than discipline in school...... The safety of the Ministry of Magic is at stake...... Yes...... Yes......"
She seemed to be talking to herself, convincing herself to do something. She swayed uneasily from side to side, staring at Harry with her wand against her empty palm, breathing heavily. Harry looked at her and felt helpless without his wand.
"You forced me to do this, Potter...... I really don't want to," said Umbridge, still shaking fidgetily in place, "but sometimes it turns out to be the right thing to do...... I'm sure the minister will understand that I have no choice......"
Malfoy looked at her with a wistful look on his face.
"The Diamond Spell should get you to speak." Umbridge said softly. (To be continued.) )
