The Strongest Badger at Hogwarts

Link quietly stood behind Umbridge and spoke slowly.

This turn of events made Umbridge almost jump up, turned around abruptly, and began to back crazily, even almost fell down.

Draco behaved worse than Umbridge.

The first time he heard Link's voice, he screamed in fright, and then got into the alcove under the dragon-shaped decorative bottle.

Looking at the trembling alcove, Harry suddenly realized something, and said in a muffled voice:

"Malfoy, you didn't mean to ambush me here at all! You just hid because you were afraid of seeing Link, didn't you? Ha! You even deliberately chose a women's bathroom for this!"

As soon as these words came out, the trembling alcove stopped suddenly.

It took a while for Draco's crying voice to come out:

"I... I didn't!"

Umbridge, who had already reacted at this moment, also glanced sideways at the alcove.

She knew in her heart that what Harry had just said was probably the truth.

As far as she knew, Draco Malfoy had never been a brave man, and his spine was broken by Link Foley before, so it was not surprising that he would do such a thing.

The most embarrassing thing is that I even gave him extra points!

Gritting his teeth, Umbridge finally turned his head away - now is not the time to worry about these things.

At the same time, Link was getting impatient, and said again:

"Umbridge, what do you think of my proposal? I will follow you, and you will let Harry go."

As soon as this remark came out, Harry became anxious.

He couldn't close his bleeding nose anymore, stood up desperately and said:

"No, Link! You go, leave me alone!"

"No, Harry." Link said with a smile, "As a leader, how can I ignore the members?"

Hearing this, Harry's eyes turned red, and he was almost on the verge of crying.

And Umbridge smiled cruelly:

"It's true,

Whether it's you or Harry Potter, you both have to come with me! "

After she finished speaking, she seemed to think of something again, and continued, "Don't even think about running away with people, many people have seen you tonight. Unless you want to leave Hogwarts and go wandering, otherwise I can always catch you." Stay with you!"

Link shrugged his shoulders and said lightly:

"That's fine, then lead the way."

Umbridge smiled even wider.

She glanced back at the alcove, as if she wanted Draco to escort her along.

But after thinking about it, she shook her head again, and said in as soft a voice as possible:

"Draco, go and see if you can catch some more. Tell the others to go to the library and check if there is anyone who is out of breath. And check the bathroom, Miss Parkinson can Check the girls bathroom.

Next, Mr. Foley, and Mr. Potter, come with me to the principal's office! "

Link readily agreed, helped Harry, who was weak and almost fell down again, and followed behind Umbridge.

A few minutes later, they walked to the door of the principal's office.

Harry's nose had stopped bleeding.

Link poured him several bottles of potions that he couldn't name, and healed his wounds directly.

But at this moment, his heart hurts badly.

What Umbridge said earlier made him very concerned for the safety of Ron and Hermione.

For such a serious crime, Umbridge would probably fire them all, right?

In this way, Ron's parents might beat Ron to death directly.

As for Hermione.

How would she feel if she was expelled on the eve of the OWL exam?

And of course Link...

If he hadn't been caught by that idiot Malfoy, how could Umbridge have caught him with Link's strength?

He was the one who dragged Link down!

Seeing Link's grinning, seemingly nonchalant expression, Harry felt terribly guilty.

At such a time, Link is still smiling because of his emotions.

But at the same time, he also had a trace of rejoicing in his heart.

He couldn't imagine what kind of punishment and humiliation he would receive next.

If Link wasn't there, I'm afraid I'd collapse, right?

"Cream rolls."

Umbridge spoke rhythmically.

After saying that, the monster stone statue immediately jumped aside, and the wall behind it was split in two. They walked up the moving stone stairs and came to the bright gate.

There was a griffin-headed knocker on the door, but Umbridge didn't bother to knock, but walked straight in.

Although it was late at night, the office was full of people at the moment.

Dumbledore sat behind the eagle-foot table with a calm expression, and Professor McGonagall stood upright behind him, with his lips tightly pursed, looking very nervous.

What surprised Harry the most was that the current Minister for Magic, Cornelius Fudge, was also in his office.

He was standing in front of the fireplace, and beside him stood two other wizard guards who were obviously Aurors.

And Percy.

Not seen for months, the thin, freckled big boy next door had disappeared.

Instead, a high-ranking official from the Ministry of Magic!

Dressed in a navy blue robe and with a big oily hair, Percy stood there with a more imposing manner than Fudge.

They all stared down vigilantly and seriously.

As soon as Umbridge brought Link and Harry in, everyone in the office turned their attention.

Their main focus is of course Link.

Perhaps due to being too excited, Fudge's body began to sway gently back and forth the moment he saw Link.

But Harry always felt a little weird.

Compared with excitement, Fudge's actions are more like fear!

But... he might be afraid of Link, the head of the Ministry of Magic?

Still frightened to the point of trembling?

Why?

Harry couldn't figure it out.

Fortunately, he didn't have to think about it anymore.

Facing everyone's silent gaze, Umbridge raised his head proudly and said:

"Harry Potter was blocked by the Malfoy kid on his way out of the Room of Requirement.

And then, our Mr. Foley seemed to feel that Mr. Potter couldn't just be punished alone, so he jumped out on his own initiative. "

As soon as this remark came out, Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall, and even the principals on the wall all gave Link a look of approval.

Courage and friendship are always to be celebrated.

Especially now that their position was against Umbridge's.

Seeing this, Link just smiled lightly and nodded to everyone in response.

"What a great job!" Fudge said with a stiff smile, "I'll remember to tell Lucius. Now, Link... I think you should know why you're here?"

Harry felt like his heart was going to jump in his throat.

He could notice that Dumbledore was shaking his head silently at them, it was a small movement, but he could see it.

At the same time, he believed that Link could also discover this point. You must know that Link's super sense spell is quite famous in Hogwarts.

To his surprise, Link smiled without hesitation:

"Of course."

As soon as this remark came out, the expressions on the faces of Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall immediately drooped, and Harry also had the urge to roar.

In contrast, Fudge and the others were already excitedly rubbing their hands.

But at the next moment, Link continued to say:

"I'm sorry that we went on a night tour, Professor Dumbledore. But what I can't understand is, why did Minister Fudge show up here with someone? Does it mean that such a trivial matter requires you to do it yourself?"

As soon as this remark came out, the situation in the entire office was instantly reversed.

Dumbledore and McGonagall smiled again, but Fudge was stunned.

After finally reacting, Fudge stroked his hair with trembling hands and said:

"Night tours are indeed one of the school rules you violated, but I came here because you violated the Ministry of Magic's laws and regulations in addition to violating the school rules!"

"Really? Why don't I remember such a thing?" Link said nonchalantly, "At least I'm sure I haven't violated the law that I already know."

"So, this is the first time you've heard," Fudge said angrily, "that an illegal student organization was found in this school?"

Hearing this, Link couldn't help laughing.

It's like hearing something funny.

This seemed to completely anger Fudge, and his entire face began to turn red rapidly visible to the naked eye.

"Mr. Minister, I think," said Umbridge in a whining voice, "that perhaps we could get along a little faster if we brought the whistleblower."

"Yes, yes, go!"

Fudge nodded suddenly and said.

After Umbridge left the office, he glanced at the people present with malicious intent and said, "There's nothing like a good witness, right?"

In the audience, only the two wizard guards dressed as Aurors echoed Fudge dryly.

Dumbledore and the others were all sullen.

A few minutes later, the door opened again.

Everyone heard the reputation and saw Umbridge walking in quickly.

Behind her were several men and women dressed as inspectors, all of whom lowered their heads so that people could not see their faces clearly.

"Don't be afraid, my dears," Umbridge said softly to them. "It's all right now. You've done the right thing, and the Minister is very pleased with you! The Ministry of Magic is now employing people, and I can assure you Heroes will not be treated badly!"

"Naturally!" Fudge said enthusiastically, "Scremgeour, the director of the Auror office, has complained to me many times about the lack of good newcomers. I will recommend them to him, and I guarantee you will be there. Will... oh! Merlin!"

In the middle of speaking, Fudge was suddenly startled and exclaimed.

Because many of the witnesses couldn't help raising their heads.

And their faces were already covered by dense sores, some of which were so severe that their faces were deformed, and each of them looked like a leprosy patient!

Everyone in the office was taken aback.

Even those two elite Aurors who were obviously well-informed and had experienced many battles had a look of astonishment on their faces.

The students wailed when they saw this, and they all pulled the collars of their robes below their eyes, and even a few girls cried out.

Harry was almost stunned.

Although it was difficult to make out, he still recognized from the vague outlines that they were all once members of the D.A.

And now, they've gone to Umbridge, and they've been brought in as witnesses, with so many sores on their faces...

To say that there is no connection between all these is completely nonsense!

Harry suddenly remembered the list that everyone signed at the first assembly.

At that time, many people thought it might be a confidentiality contract.

And now...it seems to be true!

"We made a mistake, Your Excellency Foley! Please! Help us lift the curse!"

A girl cried and said, "We have already discussed it, as long as you forgive us, we will never say anything unnecessary!"

"Shut up! You silly girl!" Umbridge roared angrily when he heard the words, "I will find a way to fix the wounds on your faces! Don't try to be fools! Tell me what you told me before. Tell Mr. Minister about it again!"

"But... you've asked Madam Pomfrey to look it up for us...she can't do anything about this type of curse."

A boy covering his face said dully, and then continued to stare at Link with pitiful eyes like the other companions.

Harry also looked at Link in horror - the terrifying scene in front of him made his mind go blank.

But Link just shook his head calmly when he heard the words:

"I can see that this is a curse caused by violating a magic contract. Although I have made some achievements in potion science, if you think I can heal you, you really think too highly of me."

Link really wanted to laugh at this moment.

He didn't understand why these traitors were so naive.

They've obviously been betrayed.

Those who are not loyal to the new master, even go so far as to ask the old master to take back their punishment.

This is really... so stupid!

"But this curse is obviously you..."

An inspector member spoke excitedly, but was stopped by a companion next to him in the middle of his speech, "Stop begging him, it's useless."

Having said that, he glared at Link angrily, and then said to Fudge:

"Mr. Minister, I'll get this straight. For the past few months we've been attending a meeting of an illegal student organization created by Link Foley in conjunction with Harry Potter.

The time of this kind of gathering is not fixed, and Link Foley will notify us through this kind of gold coin (he took out a D.A. gold coin and put it on the table).

Not only that. At the assembly, Link Foley will teach us all kinds of dangerous magic with the excuse of learning Defense Against the Dark Arts! "

Dumbledore took the D.A. gold coin, put it in front of his eyes for a while, and then said in admiration:

"It's an exquisite design, Link. I didn't expect you to have such excellent alchemy skills."

"You're doing well, Professor Dumbledore."

Link smiled and bowed to Dumbledore.

The two were talking and laughing, as if what the inspector said just now had nothing to do with them.

This completely angered Umbridge, she slapped her hands on the table like a raging lion and said:

"Be serious! Dumbledore, didn't you hear what the witness just said? Link Foley, he formed an illegal student organization!"

Dumbledore glanced at Umbridge in confusion and said:

"Why so serious? We both know it's just slander. Isn't it?"
