Chapter 283 281 Unbelievable News

"I'm worried that you will become even weaker after being punished by her."

Feeney continued,

Hearing what Feeney said, Astoria's face turned even redder, but those big eyes of Kazland were filled with another kind of strange light.

"You,,,,you said,,,,,you're worried about me!"

The little girl's expression was as if she was telling Feeney to tell me the answer as soon as possible, tell me a definite answer, or I'll cry for you.

This result made Feeney dumbfounded. It was originally a normal conversation. Feeney's main purpose was to make Astoria mentally prepared for the next encounter. It would be best if she could find a suitable reason to take a semester. This would not only give her enough time to recuperate her body, but also give Umbridge and the Ministry of Magic the illusion that they had found Finny's weakness, thereby alleviating the targeting and targeting of others because of Finny. punish,

However, looking at the little girl's condition now, it is obvious that this is impossible.

Feeney had a feeling that if he were to tell the little girl now, "Please take leave and come to school next semester,"

The little girl would cry immediately. When an eleven-year-old girl started crying, Feeney really couldn't bear it.

Sighing, Feeney raised his hand and touched the little girl's head.

Astoria felt the warm hands on top of her head and couldn't help but close her eyes, enjoying the boy's touch as comfortably as a kitten.

"Leah, you have to know that I can't go to Umbridge and ask her to let you go to confinement this time,"

When Astoria heard this, she woke up from the feeling of her heart beating violently caused by the other person's caressing her head. She nodded her little head and said in a very cowardly voice. ,

"I know that if you go find her, Feeney, it will be equivalent to telling the Ministry of Magic that the person they have been looking for is me, and then I will become a weapon against you."

Feeney nodded and agreed with Astoria's thoughts.

This is indeed the case. This time when Umbridge confine Hermione and Astoria, it can be understood that she is looking for the girl who is more important to Finny.

In Hogwarts, there are actually only four girls who have a good relationship with Finny, Astoria, Hermione, Ginny and Luna.

Umbridge tested Hermione some time ago, and now she started testing Astoria.

Feeney believed that she was able to know after the incident that these two messages were definitely the result of Umbridge's deliberate actions. She deliberately let people tell her about this incident.

She believes that Feeney knows what his confinement is like. If there is someone important to him among the girls in confinement, he will definitely come to her to plead for mercy.

Because of this, Finny couldn't plead for mercy. Let alone whether there was anyone among the four people that Umbridge was looking for. He couldn't plead for mercy. Only in this way could all four of them be less suspicious.

"So, I must go to confinement. This is my own wish."

Astoria said firmly to Feeney, and the undeniable flavor in her tone was very obvious.

There was no way for Feeney to tell Astoria, don't go,

There's really no way around the end result. Astoria went to Umbridge's office and was placed in confinement.

On the second day of confinement, when Feeney saw the little girl, there was a scar that was bloody and yet not scabbed on the back of her hand, which was originally as skin as gelatin and jade bamboo shoots. It was in one sentence,

"I can't lie."

This scar is so shocking, and looking at the little girl's sunny smile makes people feel even more distressed.

After that, Luna and Ginny were imprisoned by Umbridge one after another. Like Astoria, Finny found them before they were imprisoned, told them the reason for the incident, and told them You can ask for leave,

Although asking for leave seems to be telling the Ministry of Magic who that person is, at the same time, it is also Feeney telling the Ministry of Magic that I will not tolerate any threats.

It's a pity that these two little witches, like the little girl Astoria, chose to resist. Ginny did it because she liked Harry and didn't want others to misunderstand that she had anything to do with Finny, so she would rather go suffer this punishment,

Luna did it because she didn't care. This crazy little girl didn't care about Umbridge's punishment. Instead, she found it very interesting and thought it was caused by a creature called a 'harassing fly'.

While Finny was relieved at this result, he was also a little uncomfortable. After all, the four girls were punished like this because of him. However, even so, they still would not surrender to the Ministry of Magic. Black would not be subject to any threaten.

Thinking of this, Feeney had an idea in mind. He found the contact person of the Black family in the Pig's Head Tavern and issued his order.

Now that the Ministry of Magic has taken action against those around him, don't blame him for exchanging one's ways for another's.

A few days later, maybe because Finny's orders were well implemented, Umbridge once again kept Finny after class, and tactfully expressed that she and the Ministry of Magic wanted to cooperate with Finny. Good intentions,

Feeney just laughed and didn't give an answer.

All four girls have been punished. If Feeny accepts the Ministry of Magic's surrender now, he will definitely feel sorry for the girls' experience, and at least he must make the Ministry of Magic really suffer.

The next day, Umbridge took the initiative to invite Finny to her office. Before, the Ministry of Magic only had the idea of ​​shaking hands with Finny, but now, the Ministry of Magic has really relented.

Because the mother of Minister of Magic Fudge was kidnapped.

Of course this was done by Black's people. Although Feeney couldn't do anything to make an old man get hurt for his child's fault, it was still okay to let Fudge feel the pain. As for the old man, naturally Delicious food and drinks are served.

"Phineas Black, what do you want?"

This time it was not Umbridge who was talking to Finny, but Fudge himself.

After Feeney opened the office door and walked in, he asked Feeney sharply,

When Feeney saw this, he just shrugged and said,

"Dear Minister Fudge, I don't even know what you are talking about. What can I do? I am just a little wizard who has not graduated from Hogwarts."

Hearing this, Fudge's face suddenly turned livid. He had told Umbridge and his confidants many times before that he would not take Finny or Black seriously. Now that he heard Feeney say this, he felt that he was mocking himself.

Feeney leaned back on the chair, crossed his right leg, and looked at Fudge with a smile. The meaning was very obvious, I am just mocking you to see if you are willing to give in.

Fudge's expression changed, and finally he gritted his teeth and asked,

"what do you want?"

Feeney remained silent. It was impossible for him to admit the matter directly, let alone put forward conditions first.

When Fudge saw this, he understood that Feeney would not take the initiative to speak. He took a deep breath, forced a smile on his face, and said to Feeney,

"It's okay if I call you Feeney. I think you may have some suggestions for the work of the Ministry of Magic. You might as well put them forward so that the Ministry of Magic can have a direction for improvement."

Only then did Feeney smile and say,

"I do have some suggestions. I wonder if Minister Fudge is willing to listen to me."

"Of course, of course, you say."

Feeney glanced at Umbridge with a smile, then pointed at her and said,

"Let her, Umbridge, leave Hogwarts and stop trying to interfere in anything at Hogwarts."

Fudge's face suddenly became ugly, and the veins on his temples on both sides popped out and kept beating.

"You also know that's impossible, so you'd better change to a possible condition,"

Feeney shrugged and said,

"In this case, let her be relieved of her status as senior investigator of Hogwarts, and the Ministry of Magic promises not to create similar positions again. If you want to interfere with Hogwarts, you can, but please use normal methods instead of This is a way of injuring the enemy by one thousand and damaging yourself by eight hundred.”

Fudge took a deep breath, nodded heavily and said,

"Yes, the Ministry of Magic will issue the decree later."

"Then when the decree is issued, you will get what you want."

Fudge was speechless. He had just wanted to deceive Feeney, but Feeney's words made him lose the way to do so.

"Very well, I will issue the decree when I get back."

Feeney smiled and nodded,

"Unlike you, my promise will always be valid."

After saying that, he turned around and left the office without waiting for what Fudge and Umbridge were saying.

Umbridge looked at Fudge and said unwillingly,

"Minister, are you going to give up like this?"

Fudge shook his head,

"We haven't given up. We don't have the identity of the senior investigator of Hogwarts. It's just that it's not as convenient as before to intervene in Hogwarts. Moreover, now we can confirm that the girl that Finny cares about is there. Among those four girls, she was probably the last one, Luna Lovegood, otherwise he would not go to such trouble to attack the family members of the Ministry of Magic officials."

Umbridge's eyes lit up and she asked,

"Then how about we deal with Luna..."

"No!"

Fudge interrupted her,

"No matter how much we deny it, Black was once the royal family of this country's magic world. Even though their power has declined now and they are still restrained by the Rich family, we still cannot ignore their power. This time Phineas ·In addition to retaliating against us, Black's actions also have the meaning of warning us. He is telling us that he has enough power to overturn the table and compete with us outside the chessboard, but if we don't have that power, we should not attack those around him. People take action.”

Umbridge was still unwilling, Fudge waved his hand,

"Although you have lost this position and power, what we have already obtained will not change, and the education order issued will not be withdrawn, and you are still the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts."

Fudge left, just as he said. As soon as he returned to the Ministry of Magic, an announcement and decree was issued about the removal of Hogwarts' senior investigators and no related positions. Feeney's men also followed the agreement and The family members of Fudge and the Ministry of Magic officials who got up were put back. It seemed that everything was so happy.

Only Hermione was very confused. She subscribed to the Daily Prophet, so she could easily guess that this was Feeney's handiwork. However, she was very confused as to why Umbridge was not allowed to leave when she had such an opportunity, or What about asking the Ministry of Magic to remove surveillance of Hogwarts communication channels?

She didn't ask Feeney. Even if she asked, Feeney wouldn't answer.

Umbridge's departure does not mean anything. If there is one Umbridge, there will be a second one. Since Fudge has bluntly stated that he will not give up interfering with Hogwarts, then it is better to let Umbridge, who has been Let’s put the people we are familiar with here, it’s better to have a new person come over.

As for the monitoring of Hogwarts communication channels, the Ministry of Magic will not admit it, let alone remove it. Therefore, in fact, the only interests that Feeney could pursue were one of the two positions: professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts and senior investigator of Hogwarts. He chose the latter, which was more important and powerful.

In the next few days, because the position of senior investigator was removed, many professors were in a good mood and their attitude in class was much better. Even Snape did not deduct Gryffindor's penalty on this day. One more point,

It was as if the dark clouds hanging over the entire Hogwarts Castle had dispersed.

While Hogwarts was immersed in joy and the joy of the dark clouds dispersing, something also happened in the magical world outside Hogwarts.

However, the wizards in Hogwarts did not know this happened at this time.

"Mr. Black, Principal Dumbledore has asked you to go to his office. The password is cockroach pile."

Professor McGonagall found Finny and told him about it.

With confusion, Finny greeted Astoria and the twins and arrived at the principal's office on the eighth floor of Gryffindor Castle.

Walking up the stairs behind the stone statue, I opened the door and heard this sentence.

"Finney, just now Fox sent a message about the Order of the Phoenix. I read it and thought you should know about it."

As soon as Feeney arrived, Dumbledore spoke first and handed a note to Feeney.

Feeney took it and looked at it. The note in the middle said:

"All the Black family strongholds in the UK were attacked. Sirius Black was ambushed and seriously injured and entered St. Mungo's Hospital of Witchcraft and Wizardry in a coma. All the people who followed him were killed,"

At the same time, Puff also appeared next to Feeney and handed him another message representing the internal communication of his own force:

"Lisa, unfortunately died while protecting Sirius."
