Harry Potter: The Path of Destiny

Everyone thought that they should have successfully escaped Umbridge's capture tonight. Harry, who was walking at the end, had also returned to the lounge. Even if someone tipped him off, as long as Umbridge was not there... If you catch them on the spot, there is nothing you can do against them.

But when the Fat Lady's portrait was opened, their already calm hearts began to rise again. Umbridge came in with Filch, and their faces were all filled with winner's smiles, which made Everyone in Gryffindor felt extremely uneasy.

"They're all here!" Umbridge glanced at the people in front of her. Perhaps because she was overly excited, Umbridge's voice was higher and sharper than her usual tone. "Potter! You must come with me to the principal's office now!"

"I don't understand, Professor, I stayed in the common room of my college and didn't do anything wrong!" Harry gritted his teeth and pretended to know nothing.

"Don't you understand?" Umbridge seemed to have expected Harry to say this, and smiled proudly, "Although I don't know where you got the news, you luckily slipped away from me. , but you carelessly left something behind..."

Umbridge took out a piece of parchment from her pocket, with several names written densely on it. The members of the D.A. recognized it. This parchment was exactly what Hermione had asked each of them to do a few months ago. Both signed on parchment.

"I already have your names. As soon as I saw this list, I knew who I was dealing with, so I immediately wrote to notify Minister Fudge. He should have arrived at Dumbledore's office by now. ," Umbridge looked at Harry proudly, "Now! We have to hurry, Potter!"

Seeing that Umbridge had obtained conclusive evidence, Harry had no choice but to follow Umbridge out of the common room. Everyone else who was left behind began to worry about him.

"She just got a list, it doesn't prove what we have done!" Hermione suppressed the panic in her heart and calmed everyone down.

"Have you forgotten the "Education Order No. 24"? All student organizations with her permission will be expelled immediately!" Ron said gloomily, "Now! Mother will definitely be furious. All four children in the family were expelled!”

"It doesn't matter to us!" Fred shrugged and said, "Anyway, we have long realized that our future is not in school!"

George also nodded in agreement indifferently. However, others were not as unconcerned as Fred and George. Everyone frowned. Angelina had begun to worry about who should give the position of captain of the Gryffindor Quidditch team, because they Almost all of his main teammates will be fired.

"Don't think too badly about the matter. I think even the Ministry of Magic can't expel so many students so easily at once," Nidia raised her voice and said to everyone, "And we Believe in Dumbledore, as long as he is here, I believe he will never let any student be expelled from the school."

"Yes, we have to believe Dumbledore. I think we will be punished at most!" Hermione also said, "Go back to the dormitory now! Everyone has to go to class tomorrow, and we can't let Umbridge catch anything else. What a clue!"

The people gathered gradually dispersed and went back to their dormitories. Although Nydia and Hermione's words did not have much good effect on everyone's mood, Dumbledore seemed to be their only one at the moment. Hope, now they can only pray that Dumbledore will save them from being expelled, even if they are punished, it doesn't matter.

"It's all my fault, it was all my idea..." After everyone else left the common room, Hermione's tense mood collapsed. She blamed herself with a choked voice, "I was the one who told you Harry proposed to do this, and it was me who called everyone to participate... If everyone is really expelled from school... then I..."

"I can't blame you, it's all that damn Umbridge's fault. If she could teach us something really useful, we wouldn't have to do this." Ron reassured in a panic, and he wanted to reach out and pat her. He patted Hermione on the back, but after hesitating for a long time, he took his hand back in embarrassment.

"You don't have to blame yourself at all, you just encouraged everyone to do something they originally wanted to do." Michelle comforted Hermione, "Even if I have to be expelled, I don't regret joining the D.A. at all. I What I have learned in these few months is more practical than what I have learned in the past few years. You can ask other people. I believe I am not the only one who thinks so.”

"It is useless to think about these regretful things now. What we need to do now is what to do in the future." Nydia said with a serious expression, "This matter will undoubtedly become another sign of Umbridge seizing the power of the school. Even if Dumbledore suppresses the matter this time, his status in the school will probably not be as good as before. "

"Sorry!" Hermione touched the tears in the corners of her eyes with her hands, and then patted her cheeks with both hands. "You're right, now is not the time to be discouraged, we can't just admit defeat like this!"

"Then what should we do next? If we are not expelled, should we continue to hold D.A. meetings?" Michelle asked.

"Of course this won't work!" Nidia shook her head, "I think we should all go back and rest first! Let's wait until Harry comes back and tells us everything about the situation and then we'll see what we do next!"

"I hope nothing will happen to Harry!" Hermione sighed.

After returning to the dormitory, Michelle and Hermione changed their clothes and lay on their beds to prepare for sleep. Nydia was also sitting on her bed, holding the double-sided mirror Draco gave her in her hand. She hesitated for a long time whether she should contact Draco. She wanted to ask Draco about tonight's incident, and also wanted to know if there was any more news from him, but she was worried that doing so would bring harm to him. Trouble, after thinking about it again and again, she put the double-sided mirror back under the pillow.

Late at night, half asleep and half awake, Nidia felt something rubbing against her cheek. At first she thought it was Yiwan, so she waved her away, but when her hand touched her, she realized that what she was touching was not Yiwan's soft hair. , but smooth feathers, Nidia opened her eyes suddenly, and what was reflected in the curtain was a phoenix with crimson and golden feathers.

"...Fox?" Nydia looked at the phoenix in front of her in disbelief. She had seen it in Dumbledore's office, but why did it appear here at this time?
