Chapter 854: Umbridge's Office
"Are we sure we want to go in?"
Harry watched as Umbridge swayed her fat body downstairs by the light of the fire.
"What is she going to do at such a late hour?"
"Maybe it's back to the Ministry of Magic, or maybe she doesn't live here at all, it won't be a good thing, she'll need time to learn about the changes at Hogwarts, but that's just right, we can sneak in without any risk. Van Lin said quickly, what they were waiting for was Umbridge to leave, otherwise go straight in?
Van Lin hadn't learned anything like piercing walls, and Umbridge couldn't have left his office unsuspected, and there was no doubt that Professor Snape's office was the style, so they had to be careful.
"Come on, let's go in. Van Lin grabbed Harry and walked into the Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom.
In fact, the Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom is not a popular place, as practicing Defence Against the Dark Arts always requires some materials or objects, and at night, the darkness will amplify this horror without limit.
However, Umbridge's arrival changed the situation, and there was no extra decoration, and the Muggle-style classroom was left with an unreplaced blackboard except for the tables and chairs.
"Wait a minute, Harry. Van Lin stopped Harry as he was about to push the door, "We've got to be careful. ”
"What's the problem?"
Van Lin shook his head, and with the stimulation of magic power, the cold vision brought a different feeling to Van Lin in an instant.
The lines of magic circulating densely appeared on the wall in front of him.
It's complicated, with Umbridge's magic patterns mixed with those that have not been completely cleared from previous professors......
"Look here, Harry. Van Lin said, pointing his wand on a node, and a flash of blue light spread outward from where it came into contact, like a spider web covering the entire Defence Against the Dark Arts office.
"One triggers the magic array, it's okay, I can temporarily block it with mana, however, there should be similar defenses in the house, so we ...... Oh, we should have the cloak of invisibility on. ”
"That'...... Shall I get it?" Harry tried to ask, and then he felt that he was a bit idiot with the question.
"Forget it, there's not enough time. Van Lin said, poking his wand at the door of Harry's head...... To be exact, a cold sensation poured down from above his head, and the cold touch couldn't help but make Harry twitch......
Then, Van Lin went to Umbridge's office, waved his wand lightly, and the door opened.
Harry swallowed unconsciously, openly confronting the professor at Hogwarts, though it wasn't once or twice, but now sneaking into a professor's office......
Van Lin walked in without any pressure, in fact, except for the ugly cats playing on the plates on the wall, the office was quiet.
Van Lin closed the door gently, and when his eyes fell on the cats, Van Lin immediately frowned and stopped.
"Oh, no, no, no!" Van Lin shook his head and pointed his wand directly at the plates, and the cats on them all stopped. "You'll have to stay here quietly, and if you don't mind, I'll fix your data later. ”
It's a surveillance magic, and if someone breaks into the office, Umbridge will be the first to get the cat's message.
In addition to this, there seemed to be many defensive spells hidden in this room, and this woman was very careful.
Fan Lin checked it thoroughly again before he lifted the phantom spell on the two people, and the feeling of the phantom spell was not very good.
However, Van Lin was able to see Umbridge's caution, and except for Professor Snape, Van Lin had never seen a normal person so cautious.
Also, Umbridge also has some problems in her heart, but the level of magic is really not flattering.
It's all some relatively basic magic, which can be easily cracked, and there is no difficulty, and it seems that when he was in school, Umbridge didn't pay much attention to the accumulation of magic knowledge.
Van Lin thought as he waved his wand and began to inspect Umbridge's desk, the drawers opening layer by layer.
Everything flew out, forming in a circle in the air, and quickly skimmed before his eyes. With the help of reading magic, Van Lin quickly read all of Umbridge's letters, after all, there was no way to know for sure if Umbridge would return, so it had to be as soon as possible, as for Harry, Van Lin chose to let Harry play aside.
The parchments flew into his hand from mid-air, and Van Lin glanced at them briefly before letting them fly back into the air.
In it, Van Lin saw the letters Umbridge had written to Fudge tonight that he hadn't had time to send, as well as many of Fudge's replies and the parts that had not yet been sent, on which she categorized all of Hogwarts into categories.
Fudge has only one purpose, that is, to get Dumbledore out of the school, no matter what method is used, as long as Dumbledore leaves the school, in Fudge's eyes, Dumbledore has no threat at all except for being stronger.
Of course, perhaps Fudge was unaware of the fact that Dumbledore was powerful, old wizards always accompanied by a decline in strength, and Dumbledore had not used magic in front of most people for many years, and Van Lin was the kind of person who had seen it with his own eyes.
Umbridge's letter was a confirmation of his authority, and in fact, Fudge was planning to raise Umbridge's status in favor of their work.
The Hogwarts High Inquisitor, in addition to the specific details of Hogwarts, is more about this matter.
Fudge gave Umbridge many prospects and connections for the future, the most important of which was that Fudge's advice to Umbridge was to use the powers of the High Inquisitor to get rid of a professor as soon as possible, to try to challenge Dumbledore's authority, to make him lose his prestige in the school, and to prevent the students from practicing any magic related to duels.
And, of course, Umbridge should pay more attention to Harry and keep a close eye on what he does.
To Fan Lin's surprise, he also appeared in the list of key observations, perhaps it was the exceptional student council president who made Fudge pay attention to some very serious problems, otherwise how could Fudge pay attention to the identity and influence of his grandmother.
But this time, Fudge completely put Fan Lin on the opposite side, although he didn't even fight for it.
At Umbridge's request and Fudge's reply, the Hogwarts High Inquisitor's plan will be issued in the form of an education order, and an updated education order will be issued by next week at the latest.
At the heart of this order is the High Inquisitor's authority over all punishments, sanctions, and deprivations of rights involving Hogwarts students, as well as the power to modify such punishments, sanctions, and deprivations imposed by other faculty members.
When the time comes, Umbridge will be able to intervene in all matters of Hogwarts, not just in her own classroom.
In addition to this, Van Lin had seen a piece of advice that Mr. Filch had written for Umbridge.
The caretaker of Hogwarts Castle seems to have taken the lead in Umbridge, and is enthusiastic about providing a management proposal that includes the use of various punishments for students, including reinstatement of caning, caning, etc., which Filch has always been keen on, and Van Lin is not surprised.
And the rest of what Fan Lin cared about was nothing more than Malfoy.
In keeping with her usual Malfoy style, Lucius wrote to Umbridge asking her to take care of Draco at school and promising her necessary support and assistance in her reform efforts.
It seemed like an inevitable result, but the Death Eaters, Umbridge didn't seem to be qualified enough, and now it was only to the point of a perversion.
As for the quills, it was easy to make them ineffective with a few small gestures, which was probably Harry's happiest thing, but it became a question worth pondering at what price Umbridge should pay.
