Chapter 480 The perfect candidate to take the blame, like mother, like daughter

The members of D.A. glanced at the Room of Requirement reluctantly and left one by one.

Aaron had no intention of leaving at all. He found a seat and sat down, and then focused on the task panel.

[Be a conscientious prefect (from now until the end of this semester);

The reward for completing the mission is 1,200 magic points. There is no penalty for mission failure. Accepted]

[Teach students who are willing to learn Defense Against the Dark Arts (required to fulfill the teacher's responsibilities); complete the task and reward 500 magic points; completed]

Seeing that the second task was completed, he suddenly felt the urge to cry.

After working hard for nearly half a year, it is finally time to harvest. Although the effort is not proportional to the labor, it is still a great comfort.

"receive."

"Congratulations to the host for getting 500 magic points. Now there are 730 magic points in total, which is just right for a wave of consumption." The system said somewhat flatteringly, "Misty Naraku only has 600 magic points, right?"

"Tsk!" Aaron smacked his lips and said with disgust, "Can I have a little face?"

“The system also needs to be upgraded!

It is initially estimated that the host needs to spend at least 12,000 more magic points to barely meet the upgrade conditions. "

"Twelve thousand." Aaron took a breath, "You really dare to think about it, but you don't have to think about it in three years.

Before Voldemort dies, I will add most of the magic points to the magic energy. As the software improves, the hardware must keep up!

Therefore, all 730 magic points are added to the magic energy. "

system:......

Feeling the increase in possessed energy, Aaron's lips slightly raised, and his sense of security was successfully increased.

Crunch!

Ten minutes later, the door to the Room of Requirement suddenly opened.

Just when Aaron thought Umbridge was coming, the three Harrys hurried in.

"Hou Li Crab! What are you three doing back here?"

"I just said who was left behind." Hermione rolled her eyes at him, "You have to go with us, you can't stay here."

"I'm afraid that won't work. Since Marietta decided to tell the truth, she will definitely sell us out.

Umbridge knew the location, got the list, and prepared the arresters. She would never give up if she found nothing. "

"So you're just going to stay on your own?" Harry asked.

"Obviously." Aaron said anxiously and helplessly, "Who made me the teacher? In other words, I am the leader. I am naturally the best person to take the blame when necessary."

"But we proposed the organization of the D.A.," Hermione said with some self-blame, "Even if you have to bear Umbridge's wrath, you shouldn't be the one."

"But pull her down! Even if she catches me, she may not be able to do anything to me, but if it were you, you don't need to remind me what the consequences will be!"

The three of them were speechless. They had to admit that what Aaron said made sense.

Umbridge might be concerned about his family background, and he might be fine after a few days of confinement, but the three of them are different. If they fall into her hands, they will most likely be expelled.

"Maybe it's not that serious!" Ron said weakly.

"Do you believe this?" Aaron said speechlessly, "Or do you think Umbridge has such a thing as a conscience?"

"this..."

"Okay, if nothing happens, just leave. I don't care if you get caught."

The three of them looked at each other and walked out with heavy hearts.

But as soon as they reached the door, the whole room began to shake slightly.

boom! boom! boom!

The sound of explosions became clearer and clearer. Aaron seemed to have thought of something and immediately pulled them back.

"What's going on?" Ron asked nervously.

"What could be going on? The blasting spell bombarded the door." Aaron said angrily, "You refused to leave when I told you to leave just now. I'm afraid it won't be that easy to leave now."

"What should we do?" Hermione's face turned pale. She knew who was outside the door without even thinking.

The worst thing happened, they got caught.

"Don't talk, don't make a sound." Aaron said very seriously, and then cast a disembodiment spell on them, "You can leave after she takes me away."

As soon as the three people's bodies became transparent, the door was completely blown open.

In the light smoke, Umbridge's pink sweater was particularly conspicuous, and she had a proud sneer on her face. On her left and right were the administrator Argus Filch and the minister's secretary Percy Weiss. Lai.

"Where are the people? Where have all the people died?"

When Umbridge discovered that Aaron was the only one in the room, she suddenly felt bad.

This was different from what she thought. Breaking up criminal gangs and catching disciplinary students were completely different things.

"Professor Umbridge." Aaron pointed to himself sheepishly, "I am 100% sure that I am a human being."

The corner of Umbridge's mouth twitched slightly, and Toad blushed like a volcano about to erupt, "Don't pretend to be confused with me, do you know what I'm talking about?"

"This is a bit overwhelming. If you don't tell me, how will I know what you are talking about?"

"Ha!" Umbridge sneered and said proudly: "Mr. Gaius, I have been tolerating you since last year, and I have always turned a blind eye to the mistakes you made, but That doesn’t mean I’m going to act like nothing happened.”

"Understood." Aaron nodded flatly.

"What I hate the most is your attitude." Umbridge pointed at Aaron angrily, "You are pretentious, as if you never take me seriously."

"Be more confident." Aaron plucked his ears indifferently, "It seems like two words."

"You..." Umbridge laughed angrily, "I can tell you clearly that the matter of Dumbledore's Army has alarmed the Minister of Magic, and he is now in the principal's office.

Moreover, we have sufficient evidence and witnesses, so don’t be fooled so easily this time. "

Aaron glanced thoughtfully at Percy Weasley standing aside, as if he understood something, "Although I don't understand what you are talking about, it seems that you are here for Dumbledore? "

Umbridge snorted coldly, unable to comment.

"I think you should come with us to the principal's office now."

Percy and Filch consciously stood on the left and right sides of Aaron, as if they were worried about him escaping.

"Don't be so nervous." Aaron said with a smile, "If I want to resist, it will be useless for you all together."

"That makes sense." Umbridge smiled and nodded, "Weasley, put away his wand."

"Take it out yourself, don't make it difficult for me." Percy said calmly.

Aaron spread his hands indifferently and put the wand in his hand, "Mr. and Mrs. Weasley will feel..."

"Disappointed? But I don't think I did anything wrong.

If they had listened to me and supported the Ministry, everything would have been different. "

"No, what I want to say is not disappointment, but heartache."

Percy was stunned for a moment, but quickly calmed down.

Aaron continued, "Mr. Weasley was hospitalized during the Christmas holiday. You didn't go to visit him, right?"

"I know there's nothing wrong with him." Percy said with some pride, "As the minister's secretary, I can easily figure out some things."

"So that's why you don't go see him?"

"I..."

"That's enough, that's enough." Umbridge interrupted, "Take him over first, the minister is still waiting!"

"Thanks for the reminder, Deputy Minister." Percy said seriously, "It's time for us to go."

After confirming that they had left, Ron lifted the Disillusionment Curse and cursed angrily, "Percy... he's gone too far. How did he become like this? He's such a bitch."

"He will come back, your parents have always believed this." Hermione said hesitantly, "But only if he knows that he was wrong."

"Wrong?" Ron curled his lips contemptuously, "He doesn't have much confidence now.

We all know that he likes power, but denying all his relatives for the sake of power is too much, not to mention that he now wants to kill all his relatives. Me, Fred, George, and Ginny, the four of us are all on that list. "

"Wait, talking about the list." Harry paused, "Aaron still has the list, right?"

"It should be no problem!" Ron said with some uncertainty.

"It's definitely no problem." Hermione was very dissatisfied with Ron's suspicion, "You know him, he will never hand over the list."

"I believe this. What I'm worried about now is another thing." Harry said solemnly, "Aaron just seemed to say that Fudge was going to attack Dumbledore."

Hearing this, Hermione and Ron couldn't help but feel a little bit in their hearts.

But they are too busy to take care of themselves now and can do nothing but worry and comfort themselves.

...

On the third floor, at the entrance to the principal's office.

"Sizzling honey candy."

Umbridge recited the command cheerfully, and the stone beast jumped aside, revealing the slowly rising spiral staircase.

They climbed the stairs and broke into the principal's office without even knocking on the door.

The principal's office was particularly lively today. In addition to Dumbledore and Fudge, there was also the vice-principal Professor McGonagall, a dark-skinned bald wizard, a strong wizard with short hair.

"Minister Fudge, long time no see."

"Mr. Gaius." Fudge looked a little unnatural, "You should know why I came here today, right?"

Aaron glanced at Dumbledore without any clue, "I barely guessed a little."

"So..." Fudge paused and asked meaningfully, "You won't hinder me, will you?"

Aaron raised his eyebrows, he could read the meaning of Fudge's words.

If you don't stop me from dealing with Dumbledore, that's fine. But if you decide to stand against me, don't blame me for being rude.

Fudge is not willing to offend a wizard family with huge influence, but if he can keep the power in his hands, he will do it without hesitation.

"Of course." Aaron nodded slightly, "I still support the minister's decision. It's not that I can't cooperate when necessary, but... Professor Umbridge seems to have a little objection to me."

Fudge pretended to be surprised, and then gave Umbridge a sharp look.

Cackling!

Umbridge gritted her molars in anger, but after a moment she still chose to follow her heart and forced a stiff smile, "Mr. Minister, this may be a misunderstanding. I will find an opportunity to explain it later."

"Mr. Gaius, look..."

“There’s no need to explain, no matter how many words you say that don’t mean what you mean, it’s just a joke.

As long as she doesn't deliberately target me in the future, I will be grateful to Merlin. "

Umbridge: ...

What do you mean? I'm giving eye drops in front of Fudge, don't I want to lose face?

"No, I can guarantee that." Fudge couldn't help but look at Dumbledore with schadenfreude, "Unfortunately, the senior investigator discovered an illegal organization in this school.

I think you can explain it, and I'll give you a chance to explain it. "

"I really don't know this," Dumbledore said.

"Haha!" Fudge laughed proudly, "I knew you would say that, but I have a witness."

"Minister, I'm going to bring the whistleblower here now." Umbridge said.

"Go! Go faster.

Nothing beats a good witness, right, Dumbledore? "

"That's right, Connelly."

A few minutes later, Umbridge hurried back, accompanied by a Ravenclaw witch, the informant Marietta Acmore.

But she behaved very strangely, covering her cheeks with both hands, and could only carefully observe the surrounding environment through the gaps between her fingers.

"If I had known this, why would I do it in the first place!" Aaron sighed.

Marietta trembled slightly and almost lost her balance.

"Don't be nervous, dear." Umbridge comforted, "You have done very well. The minister is very satisfied with you. He will tell your mother that you are a good girl.

Minister, she is the daughter of Mrs. Acmore, from the Floo Network Authority of the Department of Magical Transport. She is the one who helps us monitor the Hogwarts Floo Network. "

"Very good, very good performance." Fudge applauded, "Like mother, like daughter."

"You're so right, like mother, like daughter." Aaron sneered.

Fudge pretended not to hear the sarcasm in Aaron's words, but looked at Marietta enthusiastically, "My dear, don't be shy, tell us the content of your report."

Marietta raised her head tremblingly, and Fudge's expression suddenly changed. He took a few steps back in horror and almost fell into the fire.

Others also saw her face. The dense purple pustules formed the word "snitch" on her face, which looked hideous and terrifying.

"Pfft!" Aaron laughed very inappropriately, "I'm sorry, I don't want to laugh, but I really can't help it."

Marietta immediately shrank her face into her robe, revealing only a pair of hazy tearful eyes.

"Okay, take off your robe!" Umbridge said impatiently, "No one here will care about your face. Tell the minister quickly."

"Hahaha..." Aaron laughed heartily, "Don't get me wrong, I just thought of something funny, you continue."

Marietta seemed to be shocked by the harsh laughter. She lowered her head and let out a whimpering sound.

"Forget it, let me tell you!" Umbridge said helplessly, "Miss Acmore came to me tonight and said that there is a secret room on the eighth floor called the Room of Requirement. There is some kind of party there, which seriously violates magic. Ministry of Decree.

But when she was about to continue speaking, the poisonous spell on her face began to take effect. After she saw her face in the mirror, she was... so sad that she didn't want to say anything. "
