Jing Shen Tian Si
boom! boom! boom!
There was a knock on the door, and a voice came from outside the door, "Professor, are you there?"
"Come in."
Graham Montague came in, he nodded to Aaron first, and then he looked at Professor Snape, "Professor, Professor Umbridge invites you to go over."
"What's the matter?" Aaron asked.
"Our investigation team has caught several students who violated discipline, and they intend to sneak into Umbridge's office." Montague said triumphantly, "Five Gryffindors, one Ravenclaw."
"Oh hoo!" Aaron raised his eyebrows, "Harry, Ron, Ginny, Hermione, Luna, who is the sixth?"
"Longbottom." Montague said, "Wait, Gaius, how do you know who they are?"
"I happened to be there when they were discussing going to Umbridge's office.
I warned them, but Harry Potter couldn't stop him. "
"It seems that they are eyeing the Floo network in Umbridge's office." Snape sneered. "I have to say, they are still a bit quick-witted."
"It's a pity that it failed." Aaron was also speechless, and mourned for them for three seconds in his heart. There was absolutely no good fruit in Umbridge's hands.
"Let's go! Go and see what our headmaster is going to do." Professor Snape slowly got up and walked to the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor's office on the third floor, followed by Aaron and Montague.
......
"Are you looking for Dumbledore?"
"No."
"lie!"
When they arrived, it was just in time for Umbridge to interrogate Harry Potter.
From the faint slap marks on Harry's face, it can be seen that Umbridge's interrogation methods are not very friendly.
After Aaron came in, he glanced at Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Luna, and Neville who were being detained by the investigation team, and couldn't help smacking their lips.
Good guy!It's fine if the whole army is wiped out, and you can buy five and get one free.
"What do you need from me, Headmaster?" Snape asked flatly.
"Snape, yes." Umbridge grinned, "now he'll tell me the truth, whether he wants to or not.
I need a bottle of Veritaserum, the sooner the better. "
"You took all my reserves to interrogate the students." Professor Snape looked at her speechlessly. He really didn't expect Umbridge to ask him for it.
Logically speaking, it would be enough to add a drop to the water to interrogate a person, but Umbridge obviously used up all the veritaserum, and this efficiency is enough to make those jailers ashamed in Azkaban.
Umbridge blushed slightly, "You can make some more, can't you?"
puff!
Aaron couldn't help laughing, "Professor, are you kidding me?
Configuring Veritaserum takes a lot of time, about a month. "
"One month?" Umbridge obviously couldn't accept it, and said loudly, "But I'm going to use it tonight. I found out that Potter was using my fire to talk to someone just now."
"Potter has always disobeyed the school's rules and regulations.
Principal, if you don't fire him today, you'll have to get used to it later. "
"I want to interrogate him," Umbridge said bluntly. "Give me a potion that will make him tell the truth."
"But I really don't have any more in stock." Professor Snape said calmly, "Unless you want Potter to be poisoned, then I agree with it, otherwise I really can't help you."
"You didn't want to help on purpose!" Umbridge instantly changed his angry face, "You let me down so much, don't forget that you are still in the probationary period."
"Professor, sorry to interrupt.
Professor Snape is a well-known potion master, even if he leaves Hogwarts, he can still flourish.
In other words, the probation period did not threaten him at all. "
"Shut up, Gaius, you have no place to speak here."
"Ah!" Professor Snape sighed and shook his head, gloating, "I don't want to say that, but Gaius may be the only one in Hogwarts who has Veritaserum."
"What?" Umbridge's face twitched slightly, and he looked at Aaron flatteringly, "Do you have Veritaserum?"
"Principal, have you trained in this face-changing technique?" Aaron complained speechlessly, "Professor Snape asked me to do him a favor before, and Veritaserum was only a small part of the reward."
"That's great, take it out quickly."
"Why should I take it out?"
"I am the principal."
"Even if you are the principal, you don't have the right to expropriate the students' private property!" Yaren said confidently, "Would it be bad if it spreads out?"
Umbridge's face turned blue and purple, and after a few seconds of silence, he pointed to the door, "Get out, you two, and get out of my office."
"Okay, Headmaster, let's go now." Professor Snape sneered.
"Padfoot." Harry looked at Aaron suddenly, "Did you tell him about Padfoot?"
"Of course, you can rest assured." Aaron spread his hands, "I'm not the same as the brain-twitching Gryffindor, I will choose the best solution, the safest one.
As for the difference... compare where you are now and you'll know I'm right. "
"Padfoot? What Padfoot?" Umbridge thought he had caught the point. "What is he talking about?"
"I don't know." Professor Snape pursed his lips, and slowly retreated out of the office.
Just as Aaron was about to leave, Umbridge quickly blocked the door, "You can't go."
"Principal." Professor Snape said with cold eyes, "I don't remember any of my students violating school rules and disciplines. Even if they do, I, the dean, will decide to punish them!"
Umbridge was taken aback by Snape in this state, and his tone was involuntarily weaker, "Don't be nervous Snape, I just have some questions I want to ask him."
Snape raised his eyebrows in disdain, one hand already on the end of his wand.
It's not that he doesn't know who Umbridge is. He has little ability, but he has great ambitions, and he can use any means to achieve his goals.
Put Aaron here, what if something happens?
"Professor, go and do your work first!" Aaron said confidently, "You should know my strength."
Hearing this, Snape realized that Umbridge might not be able to beat him, and immediately put away his wand and left without looking back.
Snapped!
Umbridge quickly closed the door, and pulled Aaron into a chair.
"Say, who is Padfoot?"
"Hmm..." Aaron pretended to be contemplative, "Professor, you have to think about it from another angle, which normal person's name would be Padfoot?"
"Not human?" Umbridge asked suspiciously, "What is that?"
"how could I know?"
"No, you lied to me, you must be lying to me, you just said you told him about Padfoot." Umbridge raised his hand unhappily, and slapped Aaron on the face.
Snapped!
Umbridge's right wrist was caught in the air by Aaron.
"Professor, I have to say that your strength is still quite strong."
Umbridge gritted her teeth, trying to pull her fat hand out, but no matter how hard she tried, her right hand seemed to be tightly clamped by steel, and she couldn't break free at all.
"Let go, I command you to let go."
Aaron smiled contemptuously, and let me go as soon as you asked me to, wouldn't that be very embarrassing.
Umbridge immediately drew out his wand with his left hand, "Li Jin..."
However, she was only halfway through the spell when Aaron stepped up.
Umbridge couldn't help crying out in pain, an unhealthy purple color appeared on her right hand, and she also bent down in pain, as if this would make her feel better.
"Professor, there is a price to pay for doing something against me.
I am different from others, I will fight back, no matter who you are. "
"Understood, I was wrong just now, can you let go of your hand?" Umbridge begged humbly.
The others stared wide-eyed in astonishment when they saw this scene. Umbridge gave them a vivid lesson, and the subject was bullying the weak and fearing the strong.
"Cut!" Aaron let go of his left hand in disgust, "You are wise, otherwise I will definitely crush your bones."
Umbridge glanced at him in horror, took a few steps back and rubbed her right hand carefully, and when it didn't hurt so much, she pointed her wand at Aaron again.
"What? Do you want to do it?" Aaron said playfully, "Then I have to think about what kind of magic to use."
"Stop bluffing, do you think I'll give you a chance to use the wand?" Umbridge took a deep breath, but this time she distanced herself and firmly grasped the initiative. capsized.
After catching Aaron, he will take revenge. As long as he tortures out information related to Padfoot, it will be meritorious, and even Fudge can't say anything about her.
"Quick imprisonment."
A rope shot out of the wand, and it went straight for Aaron.
However, the next moment a red light hit the rapidly extending rope, it instantly cracked into powder and dissipated in mid-air.
Umbridge looked at Aaron's casting finger and couldn't help swallowing.
"The biggest advantage of casting spells without a staff is that it can make your enemies relax their vigilance." Aaron said meaningfully, "Professor, do you want to have a fair duel with me?"
"Fair duel?" Umbridge seemed to hear a funny joke, "This office is full of my people."
"Almost forgot, when you attacked Professor McGonagall last night, there were more people bullying and fewer people."
"Just know." Umbridge calmed down, but he wasn't ashamed.
Although her methods were despicable last night, the effect was good. She eliminated her biggest competitor and drove away Dumbledore's loyalists.
"Mr. Gaius, I don't want to embarrass you either.
As long as you tell me who Padfoot is, what has it to do with Dumbledore, and where are they?
What happened just now was all a misunderstanding, and I can let it go. "
"Hehe!" Aaron rolled his eyes speechlessly, "It seems that you have always been the one who provoked the troubles, and I have been very magnanimous if I didn't pursue you."
"I'm here for school discipline, and it also involves the safety of the Ministry of Magic." Umbridge said confidently, "Harry contacted someone through my Floo network, probably Dumbledore, I have to No serious investigation."
"Not Dumbledore," said Harry immediately.
"Then tell me who you're talking to?" Umbridge asked rhetorically.
Harry was speechless. Although he didn't speak to Dumbledore just now, the existence of the Order of the Phoenix must not be exposed.
"Can't you tell?" Umbridge glared at Harry, then turned his attention to Aaron, "You clearly know about Padfoot, but you still insist on pretending to be confused with me.
To put it mildly, this is disrespecting the principal and encouraging other students to violate discipline. To put it more seriously, it is not cooperating with the Ministry of Magic's actions. "
Aaron didn't refute either. In a sense, Umbridge was right.
"I'll give you another chance, do you deserve it?"
"boring."
"What are you standing there for?" Umbridge shouted, "Stop him!"
However, several students in the investigation team looked at each other in blank dismay, but none of them had any intention of doing anything.
"You?" Umbridge looked at her subordinates in astonishment, his eyes full of disbelief, "Are you all deaf?"
"It's a bit insulting to say that." Aaron said injustice, "Professor, you should be more fair when selecting people, and the investigation team is actually all Slytherins.
Maybe you think that Slytherin will help you suppress the other three houses, which is not wrong, but unfortunately I happen to be the prefect of Slytherin. "
"I'm the Headmaster, Headmaster." Umbridge stomped his feet angrily, "I'm the oldest at Hogwarts now, you should listen to me."
"That's what you say, but..." Montague continued intermittently, facing Umbridge's questioning gaze, "But we can't beat him."
"It's true that we can't beat him." Millicent added with an unnatural expression, "Principal, it's not that we don't listen to you. Together, we are no match for him."
Umbridge: …
Aaron spread his hands and said with a smile: "Although my prefect was chosen by the previous headmaster, I gained the respect of Slytherin only by my own strength.
After all, the strength is not up to standard, but the unruly snake courtyard can't be managed well, right? "
The corners of Umbridge's mouth twitched slightly, and the raised wand was gradually lowered.
She forced out an awkward yet polite smile, "Aaron, I was impulsive this time, you can leave now."
"What about them?" Aaron pointed to Harry and the others.
"That's not acceptable." Umbridge shook his head resolutely and refused, "They have really violated the school's rules and regulations. As the headmaster, I can't turn a blind eye!"
Aaron frowned slightly, "Then what are you going to do with them?"
"Others are easy to say, confinement is enough, but I have no better way for Harry Potter." Umbridge pretended to be embarrassed, "There is no Veritaserum, and he refuses to cooperate well. You have to think of some other way to get him to speak!"
"for example?"
"How about the Cruciatus Curse?"
"No, it's against the law." Hermione panicked. "The Minister won't allow you to break the law, Professor Umbridge."
"As long as Connelly doesn't know, it won't do him any harm." Umbridge took a deep breath, her breathing was a little short, as if making this decision was difficult for her.
"Aren't you worried that we'll tell Secretary Fudge?"
"As long as the valuable information is interrogated, who cares if I use a little trick!
Like last summer when I ordered the dementors to go after Potter, Connelly didn't know it, but he was glad to have the opportunity to fire Potter. "
There was a knock on the door, and a voice came from outside the door, "Professor, are you there?"
