Chapter 281 Teasing Umbridge

They had just entered the Forbidden Forest. Because they were not familiar with the Forbidden Forest, they were still far away from Hagrid's cabin.

get out of class is not over yet, and even if Lin Xia wants to go there, she can't.

She could only restrain her temper and observe carefully.

When I saw it, I felt very surprised.

Among this group of people, the person leading the way should be Professor Snape. He is the only one from the school, and the others should all be from the Ministry of Magic.

It is said that Snape often goes into the Forbidden Forest and picks some precious magic plants, so it is impossible for him to be unfamiliar with the Forbidden Forest.

But the strange thing is that from Lin Xia's perspective, Snape is taking this group of people around.

Yes, it's a roundabout way of doing things.

Lin Xia had another thought. Could it be that Hagrid and Snape had a good relationship?

But the next second, she thought of Snape's gloomy face and gave up the idea.

Probably not.

In the whole school, she had never seen anyone who could get along well with Snape.

Why did Snape do this?

He didn't want Hagrid to be caught by the Ministry of Magic. There must be a reason.

While thinking, the ringing of the get out of class bell suddenly came to my ears, waking up the sleeping little wizard. Everyone slowly raised their heads and looked around with confused eyes.

After a while, the little wizards stood up one after another.

There will be no classes next, only classes in the afternoon, so you can spend the whole afternoon wandering around.

"Harry! Harry, wait for me!"

After class, Ron turned to look at Harry.

I don't know what caused Harry to go crazy. He didn't sit with them in this class. Some young wizards were discussing in private whether there was any conflict between Harry, Hermione and others.

Harry hurried out after class without stopping at all.

Ron was now more certain that something had definitely happened to Harry!

"Harry."

Suddenly, a voice sounded right in front of him. Harry couldn't help but stop suddenly. If he didn't stop, he would hit Lin Xia!

Harry said with some embarrassment: "Lin Xia, what do you want from me? If there is nothing else, I will leave first."

He said as he walked out.

After only a moment of delay, he was grabbed by his sleeve by Ron from behind, "Wait a minute, Harry."

Ron frowned and asked, "What's going on with you? You've been hiding from all of us. Did you do something with a guilty conscience?"

Harry's heart skipped a beat. Was he being so obvious?

Hermione also said seriously: "Harry, if you have done something, you can discuss it with us first instead of hiding. Escape cannot solve all problems."

Harry thought to himself: But escaping is shameful but useful!

"I, I, I'm sorry, I'm just in a bad mood. I want to be alone recently..."

Lin Xia spoke at this time: "I'm sorry to interrupt your conversation, but maybe this matter is more important to you. People from the Ministry of Magic went to the Forbidden Forest and were preparing to take Hagrid away and imprison him in Azkaban. "

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked!

Harry said anxiously: "No, they can't do this, Hagrid is innocent!"

He was flustered and didn't know what to do.

The other little wizards weren't much better.

Ron also said: "If the Ministry of Magic really went to arrest Hagrid, it would be arresting the wrong person, but this is in line with the Ministry of Magic's style of doing things. My father said that those old officials sitting in the office are all a bunch of losers. , whenever a problem cannot be solved, I just want to find someone to take the lead..."

Hermione covered her ears and shouted: "Stop, you guys, stop talking. The top priority now is to save Hagrid. Let's quickly think of how to rescue him!"

Draco also said at this time: "Let's go to the Forbidden Forest quickly."

He thinks more than others.

He didn't have a good idea about Hagrid's situation, and the Ministry of Magic was very slow in getting things done.

But once they decide on the candidate, they arrest them very quickly.

Draco thought that if they went to the Forbidden Forest earlier, they might be able to see the last of Hagrid.

Lin Xia dropped another piece of bombshell news at this time.

"Snape is leading the team from the Ministry of Magic, but don't worry, he is taking a detour, so there is still plenty of time for us to prepare. Let's just drive the broomstick over."

Ron subconsciously asked: "Why not drive a magic speed car?"

Lin Xia asked back: "Have you not noticed that driving a magic speed car into the Forbidden Forest can easily get stuck on branches? Those big trees are not easy to mess with."

Ron recalled his past experience and said sympathetically, "Yes."

He has been hung up twice!

With Hagrid as the common goal, everyone put aside their own petty thoughts, especially Harry, who kept urging others to hurry up.

Fortunately for Lin Xia and Draco, they have received professional training and can keep up with the speed of Harry's broomstick.

But Ron and Hermione felt a little uncomfortable.

The two of them are not professional Quidditch players and have not done much training. It is already very good to be able to fly high into the sky continuously and overcome the fear in their hearts.

After Ron and Hermione almost got tangled in branches again, Hermione simply said:

"You three don't have to wait for us. Go to Hagrid first and let him escape. You must not be caught by the Ministry of Magic!"

Once locked up in Azkaban, it will be very difficult to get out.

They want to save Hagrid!

Lin Xia stared ahead with the ESP spell and said, "Okay, keep flying forward. After about a thousand meters, people from the Ministry of Magic will appear on our right.

Calculate the distance and time, and don't run into them. Harry, Draco and I will set off first."

No one else had any objections.

Ron looked at the smooth backs of Lin Xia and others taking off, and soon disappeared into the sky. He was envious:

"When can I be like them?"

Hermione complained: "Didn't you want to join the Gryffindor team before, but your brothers refused to let you join, and you were sulking with them. Now you see the gap, right?

Even Lin Xia and Draco didn't join the Hufflepuff team. I guess the school team is stronger. It's normal that you didn't join."

Ron jumped up and grabbed the handle of the broom hanging on the branch. With great effort, he pulled it down from a pile of branches.

He turned his head and said speechlessly: "Hermione, don't comfort me, it's better not to comfort me.

Lin Xia and Draco can't join the school team, they don't want to join, it's troublesome, if they really want to join, Senior Cedric would like to applaud and welcome them."

He sat on the flying broom and muttered quietly: "I admit that Mikel has some talent on the flying broom, but what the hell is Neville? Whenever I play, my performance will be better than him."

Hermione saw that he didn't get around him, and couldn't help thinking: Ron is sometimes quite smart.

It's not easy to fool!

On the other side, Lin Xia is here.

After the three of them galloped, they soon met the group of people from the Ministry of Magic.

They have tried to make as little noise as possible, trying to get around from the side and get in front of them.

But Snape is worthy of being Snape!

As the potion master in Hogwarts, his talent in fighting is not bad. Even if he is not as good as Professor Flitwick, the fighting master, he is not much worse.

As Lin Xia and the others approached, Snape turned his head and looked in their direction, his eyes narrowed slightly.

Everyone couldn't help but feel nervous, afraid that Snape would call them.

However, the next second, Snape turned his head and continued to lead the people from the Ministry of Magic to take a detour.

Fudge took out a handkerchief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at the scorching sun in the sky, and said: "Professor Snape, how long will it take to get there? This Forbidden Forest is too big!"

Snape said lightly: "The school's Forbidden Forest has always been very large. Hagrid is a ranger and lives in a deeper place."

Umbridge slapped the mosquitoes that had been surrounding her with disdain. She sprayed a strong perfume, and the mosquitoes liked to fly around her.

"This is terrible, it's really terrible! What a hell of a place!"

Snape took a few steps back.

I don't know if he disliked the perfume on Umbridge, or the mosquitoes gathered around her, or her, who looked like a large pink toad.

He said arrogantly: "Ms. Umbridge, you are the first person I have ever met who belittles the Forbidden Forest. There are rich magical resources in the Forbidden Forest. Dumbledore has repeatedly emphasized the need to protect the Forbidden Forest at every annual meeting."

Umbridge quickly changed her words and said flatteringly: "Did I say that? No, you heard it wrong. I never said that. Dumbledore is right. The Forbidden Forest is of great help to us..."

While Snape was attracting the attention of others, Lin Xia and others also flew past smoothly and went around in front of them.

Umbridge squinted and said uncertainly: "I just seemed to see someone flying by, wearing a black wizard robe."

Snape said indifferently: "You should have seen it wrong. Little wizards are not allowed to enter the Forbidden Forest, and there are many big black birds in the Forbidden Forest. They specialize in eating rotten food."

Umbridge shook off goose bumps and touched her arm and said: "Okay, professor, you don't have to say it."

When Lin Xia and others finally arrived at Hagrid's hut.

Hermione and Ron flew to the location of the Ministry of Magic.

The two of them suddenly stopped, not only because they felt that Snape had discovered them, but more importantly, Ron proposed an idea.

"How about we stop them now?"

Hermione asked hesitantly: "We can't stop them, what can we do?"

Ron: "Even if we can't stop them, we can delay their going to Hagrid's hut. Let them stay here longer, and Harry and others will have a better chance to take Hagrid away."

Hermione thought for a while, "Okay!"

She thought this method was still feasible.

Snape glanced at a certain place in the woods from the corner of his eyes, and frowned imperceptibly.

He couldn't figure out why the two little wizards didn't leave. Didn't Lin Xia and the others leave long ago?

Suddenly, Ron and Hermione flew over their heads openly and landed in a tree closer to the other side.

Snape couldn't help but twitch his mouth.

Except for him, no one else really saw it.

A few seconds later, with a click, something sticky fell on Umbridge's head.

She heard the noise and subconsciously reached out to touch the top of her head. She felt a wet and slippery feeling. She stretched her hand closer and a foul smell came over her.

She screamed immediately!

"Ahhh! Which stupid bird pooped on my head!"

"I'm going to kill that bird and catch it!"

Snape said at the right time: "Why don't you go to the river to wash your hair first, or do you want to continue walking with bird feces on your head?"

Umbridge reacted: "Wash your hair, take me to wash your hair quickly!"

Ron and Hermione covered their mouths and stopped laughing.

To put it bluntly, this really wasn't their doing.

Originally they just wanted to get some slugs out and throw them on them, but they didn't expect that a passing seabird would come.

Snape and his party walked towards the nearby stream again.

Ron and Hermione saw it from high in the sky. There was obviously one nearby, but Snape took them in a long circle, further and further away from Hagrid's hut.

Ron asked doubtfully: "Is Snape helping us?"

Hermione frowned and said, "I'm not sure. Maybe he knows Hagrid is innocent?"

Ron: "I think Snape's temperament is that even if he knows that others are innocent, he will never help others. It is his character to just sit on the sidelines and not step on others."

Hermione said seriously: "No, Ron, you and Harry are too prejudiced against Snape. He is a college professor after all."

Ron said no more, not wanting to get into an argument with Hermione.

He could never beat Hermione anyway.

But Professor Quirrell is also a professor.

The group of them finally arrived at the stream. Umbridge was washing her hair. Hermione used the invisibility spell out of consideration.

She sneaked up on Umbridge and kicked her hard.

"ah!!!"

Umbridge fell into the stream, soaked all over, and screamed a few more times, frightening the others to the point of shaking their bodies.

"Who, who just kicked me!"

Umbridge stared at them fiercely and said hysterically: "Stand up for me, who is it that displeases me?"

Fudge and the others frowned, feeling that Umbridge was confused.

…

While Ron and Hermione were acting, Lin Xia and others also started a journey of persuasion.

Originally, they thought that Hagrid would leave as long as they told him that people from the Ministry of Magic were coming to arrest him.

But Hagrid actually seriously rejected them and said: "No, I can't leave. Once I leave, it will prove that I am really related to the Chamber of Secrets.

The Ministry of Magic wants to take me away for investigation, and I believe they will prove my innocence. I am innocent. "

Harry said anxiously: "Hagrid, they want to put you in Azkaban. They won't listen to you at all. They just want to find someone to take the blame so that they can give an explanation for the Chamber of Secrets!"

Hagrid shook his head: "No, Harry, I believe Dumbledore."

Harry suddenly felt angry in his heart, "Dumbledore may know that they are arresting you. He is the mastermind, so do you still believe him?"

Hagrid glanced at him in surprise and said, "Harry, Dumbledore is smart and wise. If he knew, he would never let anyone capture me."

"How can you guarantee that?"

Hagrid: "If he really wanted to imprison me in Azkaban, he could have done so decades ago instead of just expelling me. It is precisely because Dumbledore saved me that I Just do the withdrawal process.”

Harry thought he had a point.

But when he thought of the group of people from the Ministry of Magic on the road, he became anxious and spoke indiscriminately:

"But that was all decades ago, how do you know-"

"That's enough, Harry." Lin Xia interrupted him, "Calm down first."

She paused and said, "We must also respect Hagrid's choice."

In the wizarding world, there is faith.

Faith in the external gods, faith in the inner soul.

Dumbledore is the greatest white wizard of this century, and many wizards regard him as their faith.
