Hogwarts: I am the White Demon King

After leaving the Defence Against the Dark Arts office, Harry first contacted Ron and the others, warning them not to drink any beverages offered by Umbridge, or even touch the snacks.

Afterward, he skillfully made his way to the Muggle Studies office and told Sebastian about Umbridge's use of Veritaserum.

"Feel free to make a big fuss, I'll back you up! Also, don't go to the Defence Against the Dark Arts class, I guarantee Umbridge won't last the whole school year before she's kicked out."

"Using Veritaserum on students," Sebastian chuckled, "That's perfect, when she's kicked out, we'll send her straight to Azkaban to grow herbs."

After receiving Sebastian's assurance, Harry happily returned to the Gryffindor common room and discussed the anti-Umbridge plan with a few of his friends until late at night.

After returning to bed, he tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. After hesitating for a long time, he finally took out his magic phone and dialed that extremely familiar contact number.

With a 'beep', the call connected.

"Hey, Draco, thank you for today, otherwise I would have definitely fallen into Umbridge's trap."

Harry's idea was simple: it was late at night, and everyone had bed curtains, so there was nothing wrong with contacting him secretly. The key was that he had to say thank you in person.

Draco was still a little groggy; he had just fallen asleep when the phone call woke him up. However, he wasn't angry at all, and instead said with a smile, "It's nothing, we're brothers."

He let out a small curse, then yawned widely.

"After you left today, Umbridge was angry for a long time. She asked us to spread rumors in the school that you were unwilling to reconcile with her and still wanted to resist the Ministry of Magic. You should pay attention to that. Also, in the future, use Legilimency to contact me if you have anything, and try not to use the magic phone."

"Why?" Harry was a little puzzled. "I think this method is quite safe. We can chat this way."

"It's not safe enough," Malfoy's voice was full of emotion. "None of us can guarantee that someone won't secretly lift the bed curtains. It's a little better on my side; everyone keeps a strong distance. If you let your Weasley find out, it won't be good."

Harry wanted to say that Ron would also help keep the secret, but he was also very clear about Malfoy's concerns.

The more people who know, the greater the risk. If something goes wrong, Malfoy's side will face big trouble.

Harry swallowed the words he wanted to say, and then silently listened to Malfoy muttering: "Also, this method is too relaxing, so relaxing that it makes me feel like nothing happened."

"I'm worried that I'll bring this relaxed mood into the daytime school life, and then greet you like before..."

The voice on the phone paused for a few seconds before Harry heard Malfoy say with emotion.

"So... let's still use Legilimency, it's more confidential, and it can keep me vigilant."

Hearing this, Harry felt very uncomfortable. He suddenly realized that Malfoy's life was much harder than his own.

At least he had many friends to face various difficulties with and could simply be himself.

But Malfoy...

Harry heard that after the start of school, the other party took the initiative to draw a line with Astoria and didn't even have anyone to confide in. He spent all day acting with the anti-Harry Potter alliance.

Harry opened his mouth, wanting to offer some comfort, but the words felt so pale that they wouldn't have any effect.

Compared to Harry's entanglement, Malfoy was much more open-minded: "Hey, Harry, I forgot to tell you, Umbridge has established an Inquisitorial Squad, with many students in it, like the ones you met today."

"We are responsible for helping Umbridge monitor students and professors, and we can also deduct points at will. Montague and the others are so happy; you wait and see, they will make trouble tomorrow."

Speaking of this, Malfoy couldn't help but chuckle: "Actually, I think Montague and the others are quite stupid. They never thought that Umbridge will only stay at Hogwarts for a year at most, while they still have to stay at school for two or three years."

"Professor Snape hates students who disrupt the unity of the house and damage Slytherin's image the most. When that time comes, Montague and the others will definitely not have a good time."

Harry smiled along with the other party, and then softly asked: "Draco, if the Inquisitorial Squad goes too far, other students will definitely fight back. When that time comes, you..."

"Don't worry about me, fight back however you want," Malfoy didn't care at all, "If possible, you'd better take the initiative to lead other students to fight back, which will be good for your reputation."

"When you see me, you have to take the initiative to attack, the harder you hit, the safer I am."

Hearing that Harry didn't respond, Malfoy chuckled: "Don't be embarrassed, I will also cause you trouble and deduct points from Gryffindor severely. Be prepared, I will start tomorrow."

"Draco?"

"What?"

"It will pass, everything will pass."

Hearing this, the corners of Malfoy's mouth widened, and he stretched out his left hand to gently cover his eyes, muttering.

"Yeah, I believe... I believe..."

............

Early the next morning, a rumor spread throughout the school: Umbridge put down her identity as a professor and took the initiative to make peace with Harry Potter, but Harry Potter not only didn't appreciate it, but also mocked Umbridge greatly, and even threatened to resist the Ministry of Magic.

However, as soon as this rumor arose, it was overshadowed by another more explosive piece of news.

Umbridge established the Inquisitorial Squad and recruited students to be her secret agents, monitoring the students and professors of Hogwarts.

Originally, everyone scoffed at this news, thinking that a professor would never do such a tasteless thing.

However, when Montague, wearing the Inquisitorial Squad badge, began to arrogantly deduct points from several Gryffindor students, everyone realized that the rumor might be true.

Subsequently, the new Educational Decree posted at the entrance of the hall shattered the students' last illusions.

The students were completely in an uproar, and everyone cursed Umbridge countless times in their hearts.

This was only the first batch of lackeys, and it was unknown how many more would be recruited next.

This Senior Undersecretary to the Minister for Magic clearly regarded Hogwarts as her private territory and even moved the Ministry of Magic's set of intrigue and infighting to the school.

She sowed discord, divided the trust between students, and attempted to implement a high-pressure rule in the school to fully control the entire campus.

The students were outraged and began to expect someone to stand up and lead them in a counterattack.
