#271 - Chapter 271: A high-ranking official of the Ministry of Magic beats up an ordinary employee

In less than five minutes, Umbridge's figure appeared in Sebastian's line of sight.

She walked proudly at the front alone, followed by Professor McGonagall and a large group of students.

Seeing the 'laborer soul' at the school gate, Umbridge was slightly stunned.

Huh?

It's rare to see gray-robed individuals in the Dementor species; I was too rushed and didn't notice.

Umbridge shook her head slightly, and just as she was about to say something, a brilliant idea suddenly struck her.

She pointed at the 'laborer soul' and shouted with a sorrowful expression to the Hogwarts teachers and students.

"Look at our poor employees, they were just dutifully tracking Black, but you not only didn't appreciate it, but you also maliciously beat them up."

"Look at this surviving warrior, you've even beaten the color off of it!"

"Not only that, but you even slander them for attacking students; it's truly disheartening."

Seeing the 'laborer soul' that Umbridge was pointing at, the students were initially curious about where the gray-robed Dementor came from.

After all, the 'laborer soul's' appearance had changed drastically, and the students didn't recognize it.

At this moment, hearing Umbridge's shameless words, the students were immediately filled with righteous indignation and began shouting and cursing again.

"Nonsense! We only saw thugs, not warriors."

"Beaten the color off? How can you even say such a thing?"

"There are so many black-robed Dementors here, why don't you try beating the color off one of them."

Professor McGonagall said angrily, "It hasn't been determined yet whether the Dementors broke into the Quidditch pitch because they went mad or because they really found Black's trail."

"Don't jump to conclusions before the facts are investigated clearly."

Umbridge pursed her lips, snorted softly, then stepped forward, waved at the 'laborer soul,' and asked in an official tone.

"I am the Senior Undersecretary to the Minister for Magic, here to investigate the specific reason for your entry into Hogwarts grounds."

"I want to know, did you enter the school because you discovered traces of Black sneaking in?"

Considering that Dementors don't speak human languages, Umbridge thoughtfully provided options: "If you agree with what I said, just nod."

Having said that, she didn't even look at the result, but turned to look at Professor McGonagall, wearing her signature fake smile, looking like she had everything under control.

As the Senior Undersecretary to the Minister for Magic, she was very clear that Dementors had a considerable level of intelligence.

Therefore, she had full confidence that this Dementor could understand her meaning and then act according to her instructions.

So, in her mind, the Dementor only had one choice, and that was to nod.

She was too lazy to pay attention to this obvious result; she only wanted to see the Hogwarts teachers and students in a state of powerless rage.

Sure enough, Umbridge clearly saw that both Professor McGonagall and the students all showed surprised expressions.

Perfect!

As long as the Dementor nodded, the nature of the matter would change.

She was about to become a hero of the Ministry of Magic, and Fudge would definitely reward her well when she returned.

Before she could feel complacent, the students' exclamations interrupted her fantasy.

"Look! That Dementor is shaking its head."

"Haha, the truth is revealed, they really broke into the school and attacked us because of a riot."

"Unexpectedly, Dementors look scary, but they are actually quite honest."

Umbridge's smile froze, and she turned her head reflexively, finding that the 'laborer soul' was indeed shaking its head like a rattle drum, just as the students had said.

This is impossible!

Could it be that she hadn't made herself clear just now?

Umbridge's face darkened, and in her sharp voice, she emphasized to the 'laborer soul' word by word.

"What I just asked was, did you enter Hogwarts grounds because you discovered traces of Black?"

"If that's the reason, you will receive commendation from the Ministry of Magic."

"Conversely, you will be breaking into the school and attacking students, then you will be severely punished by the Ministry of Magic."

She had made it clear enough this time, right?

Idiot, why don't you nod quickly!

Umbridge stared at the 'laborer soul' through gritted teeth, wishing she could just reach out and press its head.

To her surprise, the 'laborer soul' shook its head even faster, and the students' laughter grew louder.

Damn it, you idiot!

If she could, Umbridge really wanted to kill this idiot who was making her lose face.

Considering her purpose today, she could only grit her teeth and shout to the students.

"This Dementor has been beaten silly by you, it can't understand my question at all, I'll ask the other Dementors."

To Umbridge's dismay, she asked several Dementors in a row, and the answers she got were all headshakes.

Professor McGonagall was also very surprised by the Dementors' reaction.

Are Dementors so straightforward?!

It seems that these disgusting guys still have some advantages.

Having figured this out, she tentatively asked the Dementors.

"Did you enter the school because you couldn't suppress your instincts, so you rioted?"

Hearing this, the Dementors collectively nodded.

Yes, yes, yes!

We were just starving and wanted to enjoy a delicious meal.

Seeing this scene, the students who found it fun started talking.

"You didn't find Black's trail, did you?"

"You just simply wanted to attack us, absorb our happy emotions, and even devour our souls?"

That's right, that's right!

You're all right, we just want to attack you, we're just that brutal.

Professor McGonagall looked at Umbridge with a smile: "I think the facts are very clear."

"Do you agree, Senior Undersecretary Umbridge?"

Umbridge was trembling like a sieve with anger, her lips quivered slightly, and her chest heaved violently.

It's over!

The matter was ruined, and Fudge would definitely blame her when she returned.

These idiotic Dementors, always siding with outsiders, made her lose face big time.

Thinking of this, she angrily drew her wand and shouted through gritted teeth.

"Yes, I understand now. These damned fellows actually dared to violate the Ministry of Magic's regulations and broke into the school to attack students without permission."

"It's simply unforgivable!"

"I will represent the Ministry of Magic and punish them."

"Expecto Patronum!"

Suddenly, a dazzling light burst out from the tip of her wand, forming a silver-white Persian cat, rushing towards the Dementors.

Seeing this scene, Professor McGonagall shook her head speechlessly.

This Umbridge, she can't hold her breath at all.

This look of exasperation, anyone can tell that she is retaliating for personal reasons.

She just doesn't have a brain, didn't she consider the consequences of angering the Dementors?

On the other side, the 'laborer soul,' having received Sebastian's instructions, raised its arms and shouted.

"Not only do the high officials of the Ministry of Magic not let us eat our fill, but they even want to beat us up."

"I can't stand this anymore."

"Go, my minions, let this guy see how powerful we are!"

......
