Chapter 464
About ten minutes later, Aberforth brought up bottles of butterbeer.
When handing it to Hermione, he whispered, "What's going on? Studying the goblin rebellion?"
"We just want to improve ourselves." Hermione smiled at him and took the beer.
The reason why Hermione accepted Harry's invitation was that she wanted to help her classmates and improve herself as she said.
When teaching others, you can also find your own problems.
"Cheers!" George shouted loudly, and everyone raised their glasses and said in unison:
"To Potter!"
The party turned into a banquet, and students gathered in groups of three or two to chat, and the butterbeer in their hands gradually turned into alcoholic beverages.
"Harry! Is the mysterious man really back?" A Ravenclaw boy suddenly asked.
Marietta screamed, Terry Boot twitched, and many people reacted violently, and then looked at Harry eagerly.
"Yes, he's back." Harry said firmly, looking directly at the boy who asked the question: "It doesn't matter if you don't believe it. I didn't form this club to fight anything, but just to let everyone learn useful things."
"Just in case, just in case there is any danger, we must have the ability to resist."
Everyone was silent. Harry's words were very pertinent. Those who can come here have a certain pursuit of Defense Against the Dark Arts.
No matter what the situation is, it's always good to learn more.
"When do we start the first activity? Where?" Colin asked.
"Do we need to report to Umbridge?" This was said by a Hufflepuff badger. After he finished speaking, a group of people looked at him with caring eyes for the mentally retarded.
"We were supposed to avoid her and do secret activities." Cedric held his forehead and said, "You go and report. Isn't that a trap for 29?"
The little badger scratched his head embarrassedly, "Just pretend I didn't say anything, but since it's a secret party, there must be a safe place, right?"
"I'll guarantee that." Harry said, "We have to determine the time of the party first. As for the location, I'll tell you later."
The students of the three colleges have different courses. Some of them have to participate in other club activities, and even Harry himself has to participate in Gryffindor's team training.
It's not easy to find a time that suits everyone.
After some discussion, the time of the first activity was set at 8 o'clock on Wednesday evening, and Angelina moved the Quidditch training time forward by one hour.
Outside the house, Zacharias Smith, who was freezing cold, got the key information and left excitedly.
He didn't stay in Hogsmeade, but trotted back to Hogwarts and found Umbridge.
"Professor, I have a major discovery!" Smith panted. Umbridge didn't care much at first, but after hearing what happened, her expression gradually became serious and angry.
"Mr. Smith,"Sir, is everything you said true?"
"It's all true. I was hiding outside the Hog's Head Inn." Smith nodded repeatedly: "I also saw Dumbledore!"
"What?" Umbridge lost his voice.
"I'm sure I didn't see it. He disguised himself as the owner of the bar. Potter and Cedric took the lead. All the students who attended the party were recruited by them."
Umbridge stood up and paced back and forth in the office.
"Diggory, Bones, Longbottom, Macmillan, Abbot..." She repeated the names of these people.
Each of them can find the corresponding person in the Ministry of Magic. The more I think about it, the more frightened I am.
There are 28 pure-blood families, and there are also the backbone of the Ministry of Magic. These people gathered under Dumbledore's command, which is a force that cannot be ignored.
"Are they going to learn Defense Against the Dark Arts?"
"That's to attack the Ministry of Magic! "Umbridge slammed the table, startling Smith.
"Professor, please arrest them quickly."
"No, I am no match for Dumbledore alone." Umbridge shook her head decisively. She would not be so reckless.
Looking at Smith, the toad smiled: "Mr. Smith, you did a good job."
"I have a task for you. On Wednesday, you will follow them quietly and see where they gather."
Smith swallowed his saliva, "Professor, I will go by myself?"
"Don't worry, I'm not asking you to rush in. As long as you find out the place, I will take the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic with me."
"Catch them in the act, and don't let Dumbledore have a chance to deny it."
Umbridge tempted: "As long as you complete this task, I will not only make you a prefect, but also the student union president in the future, and your father will also be promoted because of it. "
Smith immediately put aside the risk and agreed ecstatically.
Anyway, he had long wanted to take revenge on those badgers who isolated him. After falling out with Lawrence, he became almost invisible in Hufflepuff and no one wanted to pay attention to him.
Smith was completely dizzy after years of accumulated resentment.
After sending Smith away, Umbridge immediately contacted Fudge, informed him of the situation, and requested Auror support that day.
Soon, Fudge received the news and was overjoyed.
His goal now was clear, which was to ensure that Dumbledore Dumbledore stepped down first and ruined his reputation.
I didn't expect that Umbridge, who was thrown out to take the blame, could make such a major discovery.
He didn't care whether it was true or not. As long as he could get some information that was unfavorable to Dumbledore from the mouths of those little wizards, he could make it into ironclad evidence!
The calm days passed quickly, and Wednesday came in a blink of an eye.
On this day, Smith went to class as usual without any expression. After class, he returned to the lounge and pretended to do his homework, but in fact he kept paying attention to the movements of Cedric and others.
TimeSoon it was seven fifty.
More than twenty badgers left the classroom one after another. Smith followed them from a distance and watched them come to the sixth floor and enter an abandoned classroom with his own eyes.
After seeing students from other colleges also go in, he was sure that this was the place agreed by Harry and others, and hurried to the fourth floor to inform.
In the abandoned classroom, Harry had already asked people to face each other in pairs.
"Practice for a while, Wayne will come in about half an hour."
"What are we going to learn?" Ginny asked.
"Start with the most basic disarming spell." Harry said, and came to the opposite side of Neville. He didn't chant a spell, but casually threw the spell, and Neville's wand flew out of his hand.
"Wow, silent instant casting." George was very face-saving, making everyone realize how difficult Harry's move just now was.
"It's really not easy." Cedric nodded in agreement: "Harry, your disarming spell is very powerful."
Harry was a little uncomfortable with such flattery, so he quickly changed the subject and shared some of his own experience and skills.
The room soon rang with shouts of "Disarm Your Weapons", wands flew everywhere, and sparks flew everywhere.
Many people used spells in a mess, and they couldn't disarm the opponent at all, but could only make the opponent retreat two steps.
At the same time, Smith had found Umbridge.
The two waited for a few minutes, and Fudge brought five Aurors and Percy through the fireplace and came to the office.
"Where are they?" Fudge asked directly without any nonsense.
"Minister, it's on the sixth floor." Umbridge opened the door in a very servile manner: "Today is their first gathering. I heard that Lawrence will also go. We..."
Fudge paused: "You mean Lawrence?"
"Yes." Smith interrupted: "But when I came, Lawrence hadn't gone yet. Do we have to wait?"
Fudge glared at him and pointed at him to lead the way.
What's the point of waiting?
He had to deal with Dumbledore. Waiting for Wayne to come would only cause trouble for himself.
The group soon arrived at the door. (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
Percy wanted to show off, so he chanted a spell loudly at the locked door: "Aloho Open!"
A strong shock wave knocked him away and hung him on the opposite wall.
"Minister, there is a very powerful magic on it." Kingsley was very anxious, but he had to remain calm on the surface. He had asked someone to send a message before he went on the mission. He didn't know if Dumbledore had received it.
"What are you looking at me for? Open it!"
Fudge gave an angry order, and several Aurors began to besiege the door. The huge noise spread into the house, causing great panic.
"Someone told us!"
"It's over, Umbridge found us!"
"I heard someone shouting Minister, is Cornelius Fudge here?"
All the little wizardsAll panicked and ran towards the door to open it.
At this time, a ball of fire exploded in the air, and the Phoenix King came out of the fire, and Wayne's voice came from his mouth: "Stay here and don't move, I will take care of it."
"Wayne is here!"
"Thank God, why was he caught at the first meeting."
"There is a traitor among us!"
Cedric quickly counted the number of people and said loudly: "Don't be suspicious of each other, everyone is here, if someone tells on someone, they will definitely be guilty and dare not come."
Everyone calmed down. []
"Hermione, this is up to you." Wayne said, and the Phoenix King turned into a ball of fire again, and finally disappeared.
Outside, several Aurors took turns to cast spells on the door, and then were blown away like Percy, grinning in pain.
"Let's attack together! Blow up the wall!" Fudge ordered angrily, and everyone raised their wands and pointed them at the wall.
At this time, a deep voice came: "Fudge, do you want to tear down Hogwarts?"
At the corner, Dumbledore's tall figure appeared and strode to the crowd.
"You're just in time, Dumbledore." Umbridge pointed at the door with a triumphant smile: "Guess what we found?"
"A group of students violated the orders of the senior investigator and held a private meeting with the intention of rebelling against the Ministry of Magic..."
"It's not them who rebelled against the Ministry of Magic, it's me." Dumbledore said softly.
Fudge and Umbridge widened their eyes, as if they couldn't believe what they heard.
"You admit it?"
"Of course." Dumbledore smiled, "It seems that I am unlucky. I met an informer at the first meeting."
He glanced at Smith, who hid behind Fudge in fear.
"You are plotting against me, plotting rebellion?!" Fudge shouted.
"That's right." Dumbledore said happily.
"Very good, very good." Fudge trembled with joy, "Weasley, did you write it down? He admitted it himself."
"Anything else you need to add? I can say more things against you." Dumbledore smiled.
"That's enough." Fudge's face was getting redder and redder. "Dawlish, Shacklebolt, take Dumbledore to Azkaban and wait for trial for conspiracy and incitement."
Dumbledore just tilted his head and listened until several people came forward, and then he raised a finger:
"Ah, I think we are in a little trouble."
"What?" Fudge didn't understand.
"You seem to think I will...what's that phrase, surrender?"
Fudge was like being stunned, shivering suddenly, he hurriedly retreated, and shouted in panic: "Catch him, he's going to resist!"
Kingsley had no choice but to attack Dumbledore. He signaled with his eyes, letting DumbledoreShow more mercy.
Unfortunately, Dumbledore didn't plan to do that.
Sorry, Kingsley, if I hit you too lightly, wouldn't it be obvious that Fudge is related to you?
So you have to be beaten up.
In fact, Dumbledore is also very depressed now.
He knows that the situation has developed to this point, and there must be an invisible big hand behind it.
Dumbledore is sure that Wayne has put a lot of effort in it.
He said that he needed Wayne's cooperation to drive him out of Hogwarts.
But he never thought... In just one week, he wanted Wayne to do this.
Why are you so skilled!
With a depressed mood, Dumbledore actually took the lead! .
