"Well, now then," said Fudge, looking at Marietta in what he thought was a kind and benevolent expression, "my dear, it is very brave of you to go and report this to Professor Umbridge, have you done Wrong. Now can you tell me what happened at that party? What was its purpose? Who were there?"

But Marietta didn't speak, she just shook her head again, her eyes wide with fear.

"Did we get an ominous bargaining chip?" Fudge gestured to Marietta's face, and asked impatiently, "Can she speak freely?"

"I don't know either." Umbridge reluctantly admitted, Harry's heart filled with pride at Hermione's ability to curse. "But it doesn't matter if she doesn't tell me, I can learn the truth from here. Minister, do you remember that I mentioned in my report to you last October that Harry was in Hogsmeade's Pig's Head pub and many Meet the students—"

"What evidence do you have for that?" interrupted Professor McGonagall.

"I have the testimony of Willie Weathersing. He was in the Pig's Head Bar at the time. Although he was covered in bandages, his hearing was not damaged at all." Weinbridge said complacently, "He heard caught everything Potter said, and rushed to the school immediately to report to me—"

"And Chronos was there," Umbridge added at the end.

Everyone's eyes immediately fell on Kronos again, his brows were raised slightly, he probably should be in the same mood as Harry now.

"You don't need to say it, we all know it. Chronos." Professor Dumbledore said gently.

Hearing this sentence, Kronos felt a sense of relief. Professor Dumbledore undoubtedly helped him out.

"Aha, Dumbledore, are you admitting your crime by saying that?" Fudge suddenly jumped out excitedly.

"What crime? What have I confessed to?" Dumbledore said innocently.

"The purpose of Potter's meeting with his classmates," continued Umbridge, "was to persuade them to join an illegal society whose purpose was to learn from some Magic and spells unsuitable for learning."

"I think you'll find you've said some things wrong, Dolores," said Dumbledore, peering at her over his crooked nose through his old half-moon spectacles.

Harry stared at Dumbledore. He didn't know how Dumbledore was going to convince Fudge not to punish him. Assuming Willie Weathersing had really heard every word Harry said in the Hog's Head pub, he would never be able to escaped punishment.

"Oh!" Fudge began to walk up and down again as if he had a ball on his foot, "yes, let's listen to the latest version of the nonsense that wants to keep Potter out of trouble, go ahead, Deng Bad luck, go on - is Willie Weathersing lying? Is it?"

"Or did Potter just happen to have an identical twin brother who showed up at the Hog's Head that day? Or was it just the most common explanation, that a dead man came back to life because time could be turned back, or that a pair of invisible dementors appeared ?”

Percy Weasley laughed heartily.

"Oh, very well, Minister, that's very well said!"

Harry wanted to kick him, but he was surprised to see that Dumbledore was smiling slightly, too.

"Connelly, I don't deny, and I'm not sure, whether Harry was really in the Hog's Head Bar that day, where he recruited his classmates to join the Defense Against the Dark Arts group. I just want to point out that Dorothy accused the Gatherings are illegal, it's so wrong.

If you recall, the Ministry of Magic's ban on all student gatherings was issued two days after Harry's Hogsmeade party, so Harry wasn't breaking any rules while he was at the Pig's Head. "

Percy looked like he'd been punched hard in the face,

Fudge stayed there, mouth gaping.

Umbridge recovered first,

"Principal, you are right," she said with a sweet smile, "It has been almost six months since Education Act No. 24 was enacted, and if the first gathering was not illegal, then their recent gatherings are clearly It's illegal!"

"Well," said Dumbledore, examining her politely from his folded fingers, "if they did continue to assemble after the decree came into effect, then it would certainly be illegal, but you have any of them still after that." Evidence of the continuation of the rally?"

"Evidence?" Umbridge repeated, with a frightening, toadlike grin. "Haven't you been listening just now, Dumbledore? Why do you think Miss Eckmore is here?"

"Oh, so can she tell us that there have been any gatherings of value during those six months?" Dumbledore raised his eyebrows. "I suppose she just reported that there was a gathering tonight?"

"Miss Ackmore," said Umbridge, "tell us one more time, my dear, how long has this party been going on? You can just nod or shake your head, I'm sure it won't make your blemishes worse Aggravated. Have such gatherings been held regularly during the last six months?"

Everyone in the room was staring at Marietta's face, but between the drawn gown and her curls, only her eyes were visible. Perhaps because of the fire, her eyes looked strangely blank. Then Chronos yelped in surprise as Marietta shook her head.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Kronos had to apologize in the eyes of everyone.

"Dolores," said Fudge trying to steady the situation once more, "tonight's party—the one we all know definitely happened,"

"Yes," Umbridge cheered up again, "yes, well, Miss Ackmore came to report to me and, accompanied by some trusted classmate, let me catch those who were partying. Active crime. Looks like they had been warned that I was going to go there, because when we got to the seventh floor, they were running in all directions.

Miss Parkinson went to the Room of Requirement to help me check what they had left behind and found their list, which is very important because we need evidence, and the House of Need provides just the evidence we need. "

Harry watched in shock as she pulled from her pocket the list that had been pinned to the wall of the House of Needs and handed it to Fudge.

"When I saw Potter's name on it, I knew what we were dealing with," she said softly.

"That's great!" A smile appeared on Fudge's face, "Dolores, you are amazing! And... Damn..."

He raised his head to see Dumbledore who was still standing beside Marietta, holding his wand lightly in his hand,

"Look at what they named themselves?" said Fudge quietly. "Dumbledore's Army!"
