Chapter 623: How Did You Use the Forgetting Spell?
As if to prove his sincerity to Fudge, Umbridge immediately went into action after receiving the title of Senior Investigator.
Of course, she wasn't stupid, and instead of targeting a hard stubble like Professor McGonagall or Professor Flitwick from the beginning, she chose a relatively soft target.
Professor Sybil Trelawney of the Divination class.
However, she chose to sit in on the fifth-grade divination class, and at noon that day, Kyle arrived in the auditorium and happened to see Ron sitting at the Gryffindor table, describing the scene vividly.
"That Umbridge was sitting at the back of the room, quill in hand, scratching on the clipboard, and I dare say she must have been grading Professor Trelawney......"
Ron was surrounded by a large number of people, from various academies, and everyone seemed to be eager to find out what the so-called Senior Investigator was for.
Kyle was also curious, but since the last class was an herbal medicine class, he came a little late, and he couldn't squeeze in at all.
But at this moment, Hermione happened to walk in from outside with a few books in her arms, and she was followed by an angry Harry.
"I think Professor McGonagall is right." Hermione said as she walked, "You have to restrain your temper, don't do Umbridge anything, it won't do you any good." ”
"I can't take it." Harry said angrily, "She said bad things about Sirius, and I was wrong?" Voldemort was just glued to the back of Quirrell's head, and I'm just telling you the truth. ”
"But your truth isn't what she wants to hear." Hermione said, "And she can be locked up at any time, and you're the one who suffers in the end." ”
"I don't care!" Harry said, "I'm not going to let her get away with it, no matter how much she punishes me, I don't care...... And I'm not the only one doing this, and don't forget Kyle contradicted her too! ”
"Actually, I don't want you to learn from me."
Hermione and Harry were startled by the sudden sound and looked up to find Kyle standing next to them.
Harry looked embarrassed, but quickly returned to normal.
"Kyle, when did you come over?" Hermione asked.
"I've been there since you entered the Great Hall." Kyle said, "It's just that you don't seem to see me." ”
"Sorry, I didn't pay attention." Harry whispered, "I didn't mean to mention that you were locked up, I was just too angry. ”
"Angry?" Kyle asked, "What's going on?" ”
"It's Defence Against the Dark Arts class this morning...... She said that with the exception of Quirrell, all the Defence Against the Dark Arts professors, including Sirius, were incompetent.
"But we all know that Quirrell is the most incompetent...... Because he had Voldemort glued to the back of his head. ”
"So you can't get angry and argue with her?" Kyle said.
"That's right!" At this point, Harry's voice suddenly became much louder, "But it seems that everyone thinks that I am wrong to refute Umbridge, and both Professor McGonagall and the others think that I should ignore it and let her talk nonsense there......"
"Is there anything wrong with that?" Kyle said, "They just don't want to see you punished, and I think you should, too." ”
Harry was stunned and looked at Kyle blankly, "But don't you refute her too...... I thought you would understand my thoughts, and we should let everyone know what the truth is. ”
"These are two different things." Kyle said, "Being able to understand doesn't mean support, and people don't change their attitudes because of your two words, neither you nor I have that much energy."
"Also, like I said, I don't want you to learn from me, it will only make you suffer for a few more days, and nothing else will change, unless ......"
At this point, Kyle pauses abruptly.
"Unless what?" Harry asked.
Kyle thought for a moment and said, "I'll ask you more, how did you use the Oblivion Charm." ”
Harry blinked, not understanding why Kyle suddenly asked this, but after hesitating for a moment, he said hesitantly, "It's okay, it's okay." ”
That being said, Kyle already had an answer from his dodgy look.
Harry's so-called okay should just be a decent statement, and the real situation is most likely a mess.
"Oblivion Curse...... Does this have anything to do with being locked up by Umbridge? Harry asked.
"It's okay, I'm just asking, you don't have to care." Kyle shook his head, then changed the subject, "By the way, you were there during the fifth grade divination class, what did Umbridge, the senior investigator, do." ”
"I don't know." "But I guess she's grading the professor, and she's been asking Professor Trelawney questions all the time during class...... Ask her how long she's been in the job and where she comes from. ”
Kyle nodded, these were the usual methods used by the Ministry of Magic, and there was nothing new.
Harry thought for a moment and continued, "By the way, Umbridge finally asked Professor Trelawney to make her a prophecy. ”
"Prophecy?" Kyle asked, somewhat curious, "What is it?" ”
"It's still the same old stuff." Harry lowered his voice and said, "As you know, Professor Trelawney is a big liar who doesn't prophesy anything other than scare people, so she still wants to do it again this time."
She told Umbridge that she was stepping into a trap and that she was in terrible danger.
Umbridge doesn't seem to believe it, though, and is skeptical of Professor Trelawney's prophetic abilities.
"Trap?" Kyle raised an eyebrow,
"That's what Professor Trelawney said." Harry said nonchalantly, "But it's definitely fake, I've heard it three times in every lesson." ”
"It doesn't have to be ......," Kyle muttered quietly.
"What did you say?" Because the voice was so quiet, Harry couldn't hear it clearly.
"Nothing, I say thank you." Kyle patted Harry on the shoulder, "In return, I can give you a sneak peek at Umbridge's confinement. ”
"What is it?" Harry asked urgently.
Kyle said calmly, "Use a knife to engrave on your hand." ”
Before Harry could react, Hermione was the first to shout, "She can't do this!" Even in the last century, Hogwarts had never had such a brutal confinement punishment...... No, I'm going to tell Professor McGonagall. ”
"Don't worry." Kyle stopped Hermione, who was about to run out, and continued, "I'm just offering a possibility, if she does it another way, it's all possible."
"And whatever the punishment, Umbridge can't come openly, and even if Professor McGonagall goes, it won't necessarily be useful, so there's only one best way."
Kyle looked at Harry again, "Don't say anything while you're in confinement, just admit your mistake and maybe get away with it." ”
"Kyle was right." Hermione agreed, "Umbridge is a professor, you can't work against her." ”
"No way, I will never admit my mistake to her!" Harry said with a stiff neck.
"Don't be stupid, it's not good for you."
"But I'm not wrong......"
Harry and Hermione were arguing again, just as they had when they first came in.
By this time, however, Kyle had returned to the Hufflepuff table.
If even Hermione couldn't convince Harry, then it wouldn't be useful to have one more of him.
