Chapter 387 Pink and Black

About the time before the bell rang for the first class, when Harry and the others were still searching for Umbridge in the History of Magic classroom, Maca had already left her office.

To be precise, he happened to be walking on the third floor of the main castle, in the corridor in front of the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor's office.

The wind outside the window kept whistling, and the sky was getting darker and darker. It seemed that there might be a violent shower pouring down at any moment.

Looking out from the window opening, the sky with thick clouds seems to be within reach.

In this weather, I don't feel like I'm sorry for the atmosphere created by nature... Maca muttered casually while looking at the gray outdoors while walking forward.

Suddenly, a certain door in front opened with a creak, and a figure walked out of the room quickly, turned around and walked towards this side.

From the looks of it, it seemed that there was something urgent and he was in a hurry!

Oh—Professor Maclean?

The man paused, and although he was obviously in a hurry, he still nodded politely at Maca. It's just that when he bumped into Maca for the first time, his eyes looked a little weird.

Good morning...well, I'm sorry, Professor...I have to hurry to class or I'll be late.

Maca nodded towards him, and responded with a response, then looked back at him and left quickly.

After the other party's back disappeared around the corner, Maca turned his head again and glanced at the door he came out of - the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor's office.

... Sokradis. He thought for a while, but then shook his head again, It doesn't matter, anyway, it's just a matter of asking more questions and less questions...

While secretly thinking, Maca had already walked to the door, raised her hand and knocked twice without hesitation.

Tuk Tuk

...Please come in.

There was no immediate response from the room, but a pause for a few seconds before the sound came out.

Before the words settled down, Maca turned the doorknob and walked in directly. The next moment, with a bang, the door was tightly closed again.

Good morning, Senior Inquisitor Umbridge.

You want to-

Umbridge was taken aback by Maca's sudden appearance in front of her eyes, but at the next moment, she forced herself to suppress her heart that was about to pop out, and a stiff smile appeared on her face.

Cough...well, I mean...good morning, Professor McLean, she said dryly, Is there anything you can do for me when you come here so early?

Of course, Maca nodded with a smile, It's a little thing...

As he spoke, he turned his head and glanced at the side wall. Immediately afterwards, he took a step and came to the wall as if walking in a garden.

You—ahem— Umbridge sat behind his desk, and moved his butt a little bit uncontrollably, do you also like the 'Playful Cat Series' decorative plates? They look cute, don't they? ?”

A cat? Maca turned her head and said with a smile, Yes, that's right... I like these small animals very much, but I prefer real cats rather than these decorative plates.

He reached out his hand casually and knocked on the plate of the black Bombay cat, and the black cat at the bottom of the plate moved lazily aside. Coincidentally, Umbridge also moved his sitting posture again, looking a little restless.

She found that using this as an excuse was a really stupid decision.

Uh... let me say... Umbridge hurriedly said, Professor McLean, what's the matter with you here? Why don't you tell me first?

Oh—of course, if you wish. Maca shrugged, but before that—

Crack——

He hasn't finished speaking yet,

However, a crack suddenly appeared on the edge of the decorative plate, and quickly spread to the entire plate. The next moment, with a crisp crash, the plate was completely shattered into pieces.

you--

While Umbridge was terrified, Maca frowned at the tiles at his feet.

But let's talk about it first, I haven't planned to break it yet... He shook his head and said, But... Forget it, it's just one of those two...

What exactly do you want to do? Umbridge clenched his wand under the desk, and said sharply, I am a senior investigator, representing the Ministry of Magic! You can't do anything to me!

Well, what then? Maca looked at her and asked.

Then? Don't you understand? If you don't want to be invited to drink tea by the Ministry of Magic, if you don't want Hogwarts to be closed and subject to investigation, then you-

Okay, Maca interrupted Umbridge, who was feeling hysterical, and said calmly, I understand what you said. In fact, I don't want to make any more noise during this period...

Then you still—

Shut up, Maca said as he walked towards Umbridge expressionlessly, If there weren't so many things going on recently, I wouldn't mind playing with you in the fight for power, but the situation is different now. .”

You, don't come over—

The smirk on Umbridge's face had long since disappeared, and as Maca approached step by step, fine beads of sweat oozed from her forehead, making even the thick foundation a bit sticky.

Her hand holding the wand firmly under the table trembled slightly, and all she could think about was raising her right hand and swinging the wand with all her strength.

Then……

No, no then! She couldn't imagine what it would be like after that!

Don't go any further, don't come any closer—

Maca's pace didn't hesitate at all, and the moment he was within a few steps of Umbridge, the string in Umbridge's mind snapped.

Drilling—

Before the spell was finished, Umbridge felt his palm slip, and the wand immediately fell into Maca's hand.

The last person who dared to cast a spell on me at such a close distance is not as lucky as you. Maca weighed the wand in his hand, and said softly, Birch wood, dragon heartstring...well, just right Eight inches?

He casually placed Umbridge's wand on the table in front of him, and stared at him with cold eyes.

Let me just ask you— Maca chuckled lightly, If I tell you now that your brother has been living in a prison in the Muggle world for several years...do you have any ideas?

What are you trying to say? Where is my brother? Umbridge leaned his back tightly on the back of the chair, trying to stay away from Maca, Don't get close! You can't touch me, if you want to Know what you're doing—

Her face was contorted with terror, which made her made-up face even more hideous.

Is this your answer? Maca nodded knowingly, If that's the case, forget it...

The woman in front of him was very famous in the Ministry of Magic, although she was always thinking about endless sinister methods, and she was merciless in eliminating dissidents.

She is obviously a half-breed, her father is a wizard and her mother is a Muggle. After the couple gave birth to her, they also gave birth to a son.

However, her own brother is a squib who is insulated from magic.

For this reason, both Umbridge and her father blamed the Muggle mother, and even forced her Muggle mother out of her family together with her younger brother when she was fifteen years old.

After that, Umbridge, the eldest daughter, lived in the wizarding world with her father, while her younger brother returned to the Muggle world with her mother.

As far as Maca knew, when Umbridge was working at the Ministry of Magic, she had been trying to prevent her family's situation from being leaked out. For this reason, she did not hesitate to persuade her father to retire early, and then falsified her own origin with outright lies.

But there is no impenetrable wall in this world, and most of her colleagues know it well, after all, her father also worked in the Ministry of Magic before!

Maca saw that when she heard about her brother's recent situation, her first reaction was to deny his existence, so she couldn't help laughing at her own behavior.

Since when did I take care of these... He raised his eyebrows, thinking to himself, Is it because of Luna?

Putting the thoughts in his mind aside for the time being, Maca took out a bottle of potion and placed it in front of Umbridge.

Veritaserum and Legilimency, choose one yourself! He pointed to the potion bottle and wand on the table, leaving this multiple-choice question to her to choose.

Umbridge couldn't help but clenched her hands tightly, her gaze wandered back and forth between the tabletop and Maca's face, the invisible pressure made it difficult for her to breathe.

In the face of real power, her little tricks seemed ridiculous. The blue-white beam of light in the magic text class, as well as the bone marrow chill at that time, seemed to cross time and space, freezing her whole body.

Obviously the flame in the fireplace was still beating non-stop, but she felt as if she was in an ice cellar.

Well, since you don't know how to choose, let me help you choose... Maca said lightly, Personally, I recommend you to choose Legilimency and chanting mantras—Veritaserum It's not cheap!

He gently picked up the wand, and Umbridge subconsciously wanted to run away, but his joints, which were stiff and tense, seemed to be rusted, and he couldn't move.

Without even hearing the incantation, a huge spiritual shock directly pierced into her mind; the next moment, her consciousness went blank.

After a while, Maca casually threw his wand on the table, picked up the veritaserum and walked towards the door.

boom!

The door to the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor's office was closed again, and in the pink office, only a chunky figure was left slumped on the armchair. ) Download Free Reader!!
