Chapter 383 Someone is wanted
Chapter 383 Someone is wanted
Umbridge ignored Professor McGonagall's sarcasm and tried to hide the pride in her words. "With Willy Weathersing's report, we know that some students did not comply with the education order and held an illegal assembly."
"And you caught them?"
"Thanks to the members of the student investigation team," Umbridge said pretentiously, "They are all responsible children. With their help, I finally know who is doing this. Of course, you can guess, it is the famous Harry Potter.
Just last night, they gathered in a secret room on the eighth floor and were discovered by members of the investigation team. Those kids are really good."
Sainz asked in return, "Even if some students really set up an organization, what does it have to do with Dumbledore?"
"Of course it is related, Professor Autumn," Umbridge explained, "Members of the investigation team reported their whereabouts to me, and when I followed them to the eighth floor, they were running away in all directions."
"They all escaped?"
"Mr. Harry Potter seems to think that his reputation speaks for itself," said Umbridge. "That obviously hasn't made him any less cautious. It's just as well that he was caught red-handed by the students on the investigation team."
"What does that mean?" Sainz said, "Are they the army you were talking about?"
"Professor Autumn," Umbridge said flatteringly, "of course a gentleman like you cannot understand the thoughts of these people... They are training in secret organizations..."
"There should be other evidence. Just because a few students organize a study interest group, it can't rise to the level of conspiring against the Ministry of Magic, right?"
Sainz was a little puzzled. Cedric was not dead, and Zhang Qiu was busy hanging out with him. How could she join any secret society that Harry had set up? If Zhang Qiu didn't join, her friend who was dragged into the society by her wouldn't join either. If she didn't join, there would be no informer.
The characteristic of the Room of Requirement is that if there is no one to lead the way, even if people know they are inside, others still cannot enter.
However, it is understandable that Harry and others escaped. Since others could not get in, they could not get out. As long as someone blocked the door, they would be caught sooner or later.
Umbridge explained, "When we went there, the students were running away. The door of the secret room on the wall was open, and Miss Parkinson took the opportunity to rush in. She found a list inside. Guess what the title of that list was? It was Dumbledore's Army."
Sainz sighed inwardly. After all, someone had discovered the words "Dumbledore's Army" on them. He had taken the opportunity to remind them once before, and he felt that he had reminded them clearly enough.
It can also be seen from here that Hermione may be very smart, but she is still not cautious enough and underestimates things.
When the list was sent to old Dumbledore, in order to protect Harry and others from being expelled, he had to admit that he was the one who called them together.
Fudge and Umbridge must have known that this was just old Dumbledore's excuse, but they certainly wouldn't question it. They just went along with it and were overjoyed.
The purpose of expelling a few students was just to make Dumbledore uncomfortable. It would be more satisfying to admit that the students were deceived and that Dumbledore was the culprit. So, Dumbledore fled for fear of punishment.
Dumbledore had escaped, and the school could not be without a headmaster, so "Education Order No. 28" was urgently issued, and Umbridge was promoted on the spot and directly appointed as the headmaster by Fudge.
Not only was Dumbledore gone, but another person was also implicated - Sirius Black.
The Daily Prophet of the day announced a wanted warrant for Dumbledore, and Sirius Black was also wanted.
The Death Eater Breakout
"…Earlier this year, a Death Eater escaped from prison. We never knew how they did it, but now we finally know that they got help from Sirius Black, who had escaped from prison before and had some experience with this…
When asked why Black helped the Death Eaters escape, the official said, "It is not clear yet. Perhaps it is because they had a tacit understanding or deal when they were serving their sentences in Azkaban... Another official said, "We have reason to believe that Black may be retaliating against magic by releasing the Death Eaters."
...Just last night, the conspiracy of Albus Dumbledore, the former headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, to establish "Dumbledore's Army" in the school to fight against the Ministry of Magic was exposed. When facing a siege, he injured two Aurors and escaped.
Whether there is any connection between Dumbledore's plot to build an army and Black's release of the Death Eaters has not yet been officially confirmed..."
Sainz threw down the newspaper in his hand and said, "It seems that Harry can't escape this after all. Without the support of his godfather, Umbridge will probably cause trouble for him again."
The sky seemed to have fallen for Harry and his group, and he could feel it during class. Not only Harry, but Hermione had also obviously learned a lesson, and during class she no longer had the enthusiasm she had before to answer all the questions.
After class, Sainz said to them, "I heard about your situation. Since Dumbledore chose to take the responsibility himself, he certainly doesn't want any student to be forced to interrupt their studies. I think he probably doesn't want to see you look so distraught now."
"Sainth," Harry said helplessly, "I screwed up!"
"It's not you, Harry," Hermione's eyes were filled with tears, "It's not you, it's me who messed up, it was me who insisted on using the name Dumbledore's Army, and it was me who insisted on gathering everyone."
"But you did it to get people to support you," said Harry sadly. "You did it to get people to support me."
"Okay," Ron suddenly said loudly, "you can stop now, this is what has happened!"
Harry and the other man were stunned by his shouting.
"Uh... I'm sorry..." Facing the confused faces of Harry and the others, he apologized hesitantly, "Sorry, I... I just don't think there's any need to be so pessimistic..."
Sainz looked at Ron who suddenly lost his temper, the corner of his mouth curled up slightly, and then he immediately suppressed it, "Ron is right, as the saying goes, every failure makes you wiser, just remember to think more about what you do next time."
Hermione said regretfully, "You clearly warned me about us, you clearly warned us!"
"Don't worry, just study hard, WOL will be here soon," Sainz said, "Let's go to my office and have a cup of tea to relax..."
Arriving at the office on the fifth floor, Sainz poured a cup of milk tea for the three people, who held the cup absent-mindedly.
"Hmm?" Harry said in surprise, "What kind of secret recipe is this? I feel much better!"
"Really?" Ron also took a sip. "It's true. I seem to feel happy all of a sudden."
"Cheer," Hermione said with certainty, "You put Cheer in it!"
Sainz smiled and said, "Magic should be used at times like this, right?"
