Yi Yang Shi Ming Yue
In Umbridge's office, although it was full of people, it was quiet.
The members of Dumbledore's Army who were captured all lowered their heads, and the only ones who could still raise their heads at this time were Fred and George.
There was a reporter standing in the corner of the office, he was writing something in the notebook in his hand.
The smile on Umbridge's face gradually faded, because no one came forward and said they would testify.
Although the students were afraid of being expelled from Umbridge and entering Azkaban, they were also afraid of betrayal.
Even betrayal requires courage.
Umbridge's eyes moved slowly over everyone, until she saw Neville who was trembling a little, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.
Persimmons need to be picked softly.
"Neville Longbottom, I remember you have only your grandma at home, right?"
Umbridge's penetrating voice made Neville's skin tighten, and he almost couldn't breathe.
"Really? Huh?" Umbridge put his head up.
Neville nodded weakly, "Yes... yes..."
Umbridge straightened up, pacing up and down in front of Neville in satisfaction, "Your grandma still expects you to find a good job after graduation. Your grandma will be so angry if you get fired .Tsk tsk..."
As she spoke, she shook her head with a regretful expression, but there was no sympathy in her eyes, instead, she was full of anticipation for a good show.
Neville almost lowered his head to his chest, and his tall figure seemed to shrink even more.
Umbridge came over suddenly, then pushed him to the chair, and forced him to sit down, "Don't worry, the Ministry of Magic is considerate of each of you, and is willing to give you a chance to redeem yourself, after all you are all Intimidated by Dumbledore and Eli Hall, right?"
She was bent over, a greasy smile on her face, and the pungent smell of perfume made it difficult for Neville to breathe.
Neville's heart was pounding and he said it was impossible not to be afraid, he didn't want to be fired.
Umbridge knew Neville's panic, and she was not in a hurry to show threats, but persuasively.
"I know, I know, after all, Dumbledore was your former headmaster, and you can't beat him. He threatened you and forced you to join his illegal armed organization. But it doesn't matter, because the Ministry of Magic is here, the Ministry of Magic is here Saved you."
She almost stuck her head in Neville's face, "Don't be afraid of children, boldly and loudly accuse Dumbledore of evil deeds, the Ministry of Magic will definitely decide for you!"
Then she kept smiling and staring at Neville.
Neville's lips trembled a little, his head was lowered, his eyes kept looking elsewhere.
He may be a bit dull, but he is not stupid. He has seen the true face of the Ministry of Magic clearly. Umbridge, who claims to be their master, is a complete liar.
"No...no..." His voice was as weak as a mosquito.
"there is nothing?"
Neville shot her a quick glance and said, "Professor Dumbledore and Eli are not coercing us..."
Umbridge took a deep breath, straightened up, the expression on his face changed and changed, and finally he smiled again.
"Children, you have to be clear. Now the Ministry of Magic is going to decide for you. As long as you tell them about their crimes of harming students and plotting to commit crimes, the Ministry of Magic will not embarrass you."
Neville's breathing was a little short, but his eyes were always clear.
"They really didn't..."
The smile on Umbridge's face gradually disappeared, she raised her chin, took a breath and said, "If you don't tell, the Ministry of Magic will have to count you all as accomplices, and the one waiting for you is probably The prison of Azkaban is over."
But Neville quickly answered again. He raised his head and looked at Umbridge, "We are not under duress."
The corners of Umbridge's mouth twitched, and her expression became intriguing.
"It's really helpless. The Ministry of Magic has always been out of the principle of caring for young people, so it didn't embarrass you. It just locked you up for a few days to calm down and calm down. Now it is giving you a chance to get rid of the influence of criminals."
As she spoke, she turned down the photo of Fudge on the table face down.
"The Ministry of Magic must bring down criminals as soon as possible. For this purpose, we have no choice but to use some means. I think the Cruciatus Curse should make you speak out."
The eyes of everyone present were shocked, and Draco, who had kept his head down, looked up at Umbridge in disbelief.
Even Filch, who had been grinning grinningly, froze. He who took pleasure in punishing students couldn't believe that Umbridge wanted to use the Unforgivable Curse to punish students.
"No, this is absolutely against the rules, you can't do this!"
In the crowd, Astoria yelled, and then stood up from the crowd.
When Umbridge saw Astoria, his complexion changed, "Oh, Miss Greengrass, this has nothing to do with you, doesn't it? Your father will tell Connelly that everything before is Deng Bullido forced you to join."
Astoria shook her head vigorously, "That's not the case, I just joined because I wanted to study with them!"
Umbridge's face became a little ugly. She could punish those students, and even use the Cruciatus Curse quietly, as long as the students' mouths were gagged.
But for Astoria, she dare not, because the strength of the Greengrass family is not much weaker than the Malfoy family, even Fudge has to discuss with Astoria's father, how dare she touch Astoria? Leah?
"Miss Greengrass, I think you may be frightened, aren't you? Come and take Miss Greengrass to rest."
Malfoy stood up quickly, and put his arms around Astoria, "Don't be like this..."
Astoria tried hard to break free from him, and the stubborn look in her eyes made Draco's heart tremble.
"Come on, I'm not afraid of you at all!"
Suddenly, a slightly out of tune yell made the room quiet, and everyone looked at Neville.
Neville gasped, stared at Umbridge and gritted his teeth: "Aren't you going to use the Cruciatus Curse on me? Then come on, at worst, I'll go to St. Mungo's to accompany Mom and Dad!"
Excessive excitement and tension made Neville's voice flutter, but nothing could shake his determined eyes.
Umbridge's chest kept rising and falling, and she said sharply, "It seems that Mr. Longbottom has been brainwashed too deeply."
As she spoke, she was about to raise her wand.
"You'd better stop."
"Don't even think about passing us."
Fred and George jumped out of the crowd, keeping Neville behind them.
"Get back to me!" Umbridge screamed.
Suddenly, Ginny came out silently and stood with Fred and George, her eyes fixed on Umbridge icily.
Then there was Luna, who gave Umbridge a sideways look.
Umbridge's eyes widened because something was happening now that she couldn't believe she couldn't understand and she couldn't bear it.
"I don't think we should go back, we have to stand up." Cedric and Cho Chang also stood up.
Then, Lavender, Colin, Seamus... stood up one after another, confronting the investigation team and Umbridge.
For a while, swords were tense in the office.
Draco grabbed Astoria, his eyes fluctuated, bewildered.
Umbridge's lungs were about to explode with rage, and his big face, smeared with rouge and powder, became incomparably ferocious, with poisonous water dripping from his eyes.
"Okay... okay... are you all going to fight against the Ministry of Magic!", her sharp voice made the Aurors outside look sideways, hesitating whether to go in or not.
The reporter stared at all this dumbfounded, his hands stopped moving, his finger was always fixed on the camera shutter, and he forgot to press it.
Neville stood up and stood at the head of the crowd. He stared at Umbridge, facing her wand, without saying a word.
The wands of the members of Dumbledore's Army had already been taken away, so Umbridge wasn't afraid of them at all.
Umbridge nodded slowly, "You guys forced me to do this."
"Drill the heart and gouge out the bone!"
She cast the spell so brazenly that Neville's eyelids twitched, but they were still glaring.
The shutter sound came.
Suddenly, a long hair flew past everyone's eyes, and then there was a scream, Astoria fell to the ground and curled up.
Draco's eyes were wide open, he let out a roar, and then threw himself to Astoria's side, looking at Astoria who was pale, his eyes were closed and his brows were furrowed, he trembled all over.
Standing up angrily, a loud slap was slapped on Umbridge's face.
Umbridge covered his face and looked at Draco with a grim expression in disbelief.
Ginny and Luna quickly brought Astoria to the chair.
"You...you actually..." Umbridge's fingers were trembling.
Draco pulled out his wand suddenly, and a curse hit Umbridge.
Umbridge raised his hand to block it, taking a spell from Draco.
The members of the investigation team behind retreated to the corner in horror.
"Presumptuous! How dare you attack a senior official of the Ministry of Magic!" Umbridge snarled, she couldn't believe that Draco of the Malfoy family would stand up and attack her.
Umbridge's face was still burning with pain.
She was furious. No one had ever dared to do that to her, not even Fudge.
At this time, even if Draco was Malfoy's heir, she wanted to take revenge on him severely.
"Go to hell with me, you old witch!" Draco flicked his wand, another spell.
Umbridge used the Iron Armor Charm again to defend, "How dare you attack me with black magic?"
"Cruciate!", she cast the Cruciatus Curse directly on Draco, and she was already mad with rage.
"Call for protection!" Draco used the Patronus Charm to resist Umbridge's Cruciatus Curse.
Black magic like the Cruciatus Curse, which acts on the soul, can only be dealt with by the Patronus Curse, a spell that specifically restrains black magic.
But if it's a Killing Curse, then there's nothing you can do about it.
The members of the investigation team wanted to run away from the door, they never thought that the matter would develop to such a point.
On one side is Umbridge, who is a senior official of the Ministry of Magic and the headmaster of Hogwarts, and on the other is Draco of the Malfoy family, neither of them dare to provoke.
Another few black magic tricks, Draco didn't want to hold back.
The more Umbridge fought, the more frightened she was. She had never heard of these black magics. They were extremely weird, and most of them were vicious curses, which were extremely troublesome to resist.
You must know that she was also a high-achieving student at Hogwarts back then, and her magical power was not low, but she would never be forced to come here by a student.
Just when the two were fighting inextricably, a tyrannical magic power swept from outside the door, followed by the sound of planks breaking.
"Expelliarmus!", the sudden magic made Umbridge's wand drop out of his hand, and it fell into Harry's hand who broke in with Eli.
As soon as Eli came in, he waved his wand directly, and pressed the members of the investigation team to the ground.
Umbridge, who had lost his wand, was helpless, and was hit by Draco's spell. Then, the skin on his face began to dry up and curl up, making him extremely ugly.
She let out a scream like a pig.
"Shut up!" Hermione cast a petrification spell to immobilize him.
"How are you?"
The members of Dumbledore's Army immediately smiled when they saw Eli and his party coming.
Draco rushed to Astoria's side, and Hermione also ran over seeing that the situation was wrong.
Eli and the others rushed all the way, and at the door, Eli felt the faint magic fluctuations coming from inside, and those Aurors were unmoved.
They shot directly, Ron knocked one out, and the rest lost their ability to resist under the impact of Eli's magic.
"Enclose the whole place, no one is allowed to leave alone!" Eli shouted lightly.
The members of Dumbledore's Army who were captured all lowered their heads, and the only ones who could still raise their heads at this time were Fred and George.
There was a reporter standing in the corner of the office, he was writing something in the notebook in his hand.
