Chapter 533 Marietta, you don’t want your mother to lose her job because of this, right?

"Okay, Marietta. I want you to be candid and tell me what you and your friends have been doing these past few weeks? I got the news that you guys are doing this every weekend. Time will disappear for nearly four hours.”

Umbridge raised her throat and asked the girl in front of her in a sweet voice.

Yes, the girl standing in front of Umbridge is Marietta Acme who betrayed the D.A. Army in the original book.

After half a year of D.A. Army gatherings, Marietta's identification with the D.A. Army is much higher than in the original work.

Whether it was the Magic Edge Shadowless Curse and the Disguise Body Curse, which were not taught to them in school, or the unheard-of illusion test, Marietta was fascinated by it.

If possible, she would prefer to stay in the D.A. Army, learn more defense against dark arts, and gain the ability to protect herself.

But...can the facts really turn out as she wishes?

Marietta struggled, her eyes full of hesitation, and she said softly: "I don't know what you want to know, Professor Umbridge..."

Before Marietta could finish her words, Umbridge interrupted her rudely.

The fake smile on Umbridge's face disappeared, replaced by a look of indifference.

Umbridge said calmly: "You, your friends, and those people including Harry Potter. Don't you think that the fifty or sixty people in Hogwarts Castle are at the same time?" At one time, he disappeared for three or four hours in a row, and I couldn't even notice it, right?"

"Marietta, I think you are a smart person. You should know that what those people, including Harry Potter, do are violations of the laws of the Ministry of Magic and things that are against the Ministry of Magic! If you are willing Tell me everything and I can forgive you!"

Umbridge said as she forced Marietta.

"I..." Marietta struggled, finding it difficult to make a decision, "Professor Umbridge, please..."

Umbridge interrupted Marietta again, that smirk on her face again.

Umbridge said in a sweet voice: "If I remember correctly, dear, your mother, Mrs. Acmore, should still be in the Floo Network Authority, working for the Ministry of Magic, right? Even if you don't consider you Self, you should think about your mother, right?"

"Marietta, you don't want your mother to lose her job because of this, do you?"

Umbridge asked in a high voice.

Umbridge smiled so brightly, but when this smile fell in Marietta's eyes, it made her feel like she was falling into an ice cave.

That smile was like Satan in hell smiling at her. Apart from making Marietta feel scared, it couldn't bring her any warmth at all.

Marietta and Mrs. Acmore depended on each other, but now, Umbridge used her mother to threaten her, which made her lose all power to resist.

"I...I will take you to catch them at their next meeting, Professor Umbridge..."

Marietta said softly.

Marietta thought clearly, maybe the D.A. Army had helped her a lot, but compared to her mother's work, even her partners like the D.A. Army who got along day and night were nothing more than victims that could be abandoned at any time.

After all, she told Umbridge the secret of the D.A. Army, and her friends were just caught and punished by Umbridge. But if she didn't keep the secret, her mother would lose her job. ah!

Marietta persuaded herself in her heart, and her expression became firm.

Yes, no matter what kind of punishment those people will suffer and what price they will pay, those people are just outsiders after all. How can it be more important to keep Mrs. Aikemo's job in the Floo Network Authority? !

Marietta thought so and finally made the decision to tell Umbridge all the secrets of the D.A. Army.

However, when she was about to say it, she suddenly remembered the magic contract that Lin En asked every member of the D.A. Army to sign.

Marietta said in a pleading tone: "Professor Umbridge, but they forced me to sign a magical contract that cannot reveal secrets. If I leak secrets, I will probably be severely punished..."

Hearing this, Umbridge just sneered.

Just listen to Umbridge say: "Don't worry, dear. As long as I can catch them, then I can force them to lift the punishment of the magic contract. Since there is a magic contract, wait until I catch them, then you can Tell me their secrets.”

Although Marietta now has the intention of betrayal, she has not yet betrayed the truth.

In other words, until she takes the actual action of taking Umbridge to arrest members of the D.A. Army, or telling Umbridge the secrets of the D.A. Army, she will not be affected by the backlash from the magical contract for the time being.

This can be regarded as Marietta taking advantage of the magical contract.

Marietta nodded and said: "Okay, Professor Umbridge... Then please give my mother a nice word in the ministry..."

Umbridge smiled even happier. She patted Marietta on the shoulder and said with satisfaction: "Easy to say, easy to say!"

Marietta and Umbridge thought their plan was perfect.

But little did they know that the conversation that took place in the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor's office had already been transmitted by the D.A. military badge worn on the inside of Marietta's wizard robe through the sound-transmitting alchemy circle.

…

At the same time, in Dumbledore's headmaster's office.

Dumbledore sat behind the desk, and Irina sat opposite him, with a cup of hot black tea in front of them.

On the desk between Dumbledore and Irina, there is a D.A. military badge shining with golden light, which is constantly playing the sounds in the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor's office in real time.

"It seems that Marietta chose to betray..." Irina shook her head regretfully, "Her performance at the rally was not bad..."

From Lin En's mouth, Irina learned in advance that after betraying the D.A. Army, the magic contract would bring a price to the betrayer, which would be unbearable for the betrayer.

Dumbledore said softly: "This is also part of your plan, isn't it?"

At this time, the door to the principal's office was pushed open.

The person who walked in from the door was Linn who had finished his conversation with Firenze.

"Of course," Lynn said with a chuckle, "But it's also an opportunity for you to temporarily leave Hogwarts Castle to look for clues about the Horcruxes, isn't it?"
