The Mightiest Badger at Hogwarts

Link and Emily didn't care about the looks from these classmates, or in other words, they were already used to it.

The two ignored John and others who wanted to come over to inquire about the situation. They walked out of the classroom and the castle hand in hand, and began walking in silence on the edge of the Black Lake.

The current situation is a bit strange, and both Link and Emily need to clear their minds and sort out their thoughts.

After a long time, when the sun that was originally hanging on the zenith began to lose its strength, Emily finally said:

"Link, do you feel that this Umbridge is not as loyal to Fudge as we first thought. Her behavior in the classroom just now seemed like she wanted to join us."

Link paused slightly and said:

"It's not surprising, Umbridge is just like that. But as for Umbridge, we can just make use of her, and we must not use her as a confidant."

Link's tone was firm.

He already knew what kind of person Umbridge was.

This is a very smart, or in other words, a guy who has no moral integrity and is only interested in profit.

In the original book of the previous life, when Voldemort came to power, this guy seemed to have abandoned Fudge and joined Voldemort. Of course, he can join him now.

Such people cannot be trusted.

"In this case, what do we have to worry about? With old Barty here, our control over the Ministry of Magic can be said to have reached its peak now. We just need to execute the plan. As for Umbridge, if she is obedient, then use it , If you don’t obey, you will be killed directly!”

Emily said, a murderous look appeared in her eyebrows.

When Link heard this, he shook his head and said:

"This won't work. In fact, the biggest obstacle in our plan is not Fudge or others, but Dumbledore. Dumbledore will never sit back and watch us control the students, because strictly speaking, we have to do it now What happened is actually not much different from what Voldemort did in Slytherin.

The reason of dealing with Voldemort simply cannot convince Dumbledore to agree to this. In this regard, Dumbledore has his own ideas and cannot be questioned by others.

Old Barty, Fudge, and even Umbridge, these are actually the powers I use to deal with Dumbledore.If you throw out all the cards now, it will be very difficult to fight later. "

As soon as she said this, Emily stopped and frowned at Link:

"Now that you've thought about it, what are you worried about now?"

"Ah, I can't say I'm worried, it's just that the current situation makes me a little entangled." Link said with a strange expression, "Look. Originally we planned to set up Umbridge as a target and use her as a The common enemy of everyone, attracting people's hearts. But now Umbridge is not only very friendly towards us, but has even drawn a big pie to bribe the senior students. In this way, if nothing else, at least the senior students The senior students probably won't hate her too much anytime soon.

What about Professor Snape?

This guy was originally regarded as an ally by me, but as soon as the class started today, he gave us both a blow.At the same time, Professor Snape also had a very bad reputation. Among the entire Hogwarts student body, except for Slytherin, there was almost no student who did not hate him.

That being the case, judging from the current situation, is Professor Snape more suitable to be the target? "

"Absolutely not!"

As soon as Link finished speaking, Emily said categorically, "Link, don't forget how much Professor Snape has paid for us! You can't treat him like this, he will die of grief!"

Link raised his hands and said with a smile:

"Of course, of course, how could I do this? I was just joking. Who made him almost hurt us today?"

"Don't make such a joke, it's too scary. I can't even imagine what it will be like."

Emily muttered, still looking a little unhappy.

Link continued to laugh and coax Emily from the side. This scene looked no different from their usual flirting.

But there was a hint of depth hidden in Link's smiling eyes.

Only Link himself knew that he was not joking just now, but really wanted to use Snape as a target.

However, this was not in retaliation for Snape's targeting in class in the morning. Link was not so cautious.

The reason why Link had this idea was actually to drive Snape out of the maelstrom of Hogwarts.

Hogwarts is Snape's burial place in the original work. As Voldemort rises, his situation will become worse and worse.

Rather than just watching Snape, a stubborn guy, sink deeper and deeper step by step, it would be better for Link to be a bad guy and let Snape escape.

At least in this way, Snape's probability of survival should be greatly increased.

Of course, doing so will hurt the hearts of countless people, including Emily and Mrs. Foley, so we should wait until we are truly desperate.

Under the setting sun, Link and Emily walked towards Hogwarts Castle laughing.

Although the question of how to keep Umbridge as a target has yet to be answered, food still has to be eaten.

Just as the two were about to enter the foyer, a familiar voice rushed out from the side.

Link quickly pulled Emily away with quick eyes and hands. He stretched out his left hand suddenly and grabbed the person's throat. He pinned her feet to the wall with one hand.

At the same time, Arkham, who had been hiding on Link's body, also emerged from the cuff of Link's left hand and opened his bloody mouth towards the man.

Link finally saw clearly the appearance of the person coming, and shouted in surprise:

"Harry?"

"Link—" Harry kicked his feet and pulled Link's arm with both hands, his face turned red and he choked, "Quickly... let go..."

Arkham retracted, and Link also put Harry down, patted his back and helped him calm down while saying:

"Are you okay Harry, I'm sorry, you walked too fast and almost hit Emily, so I took action instinctively."

Harry squatted on the ground and coughed hard, unable to speak at all. He could only reach out his hand and shake it quickly to show that he didn't care.

At this time, Hermione also hurriedly ran over from the corridor.

Anxiety was written on her face, especially after seeing Harry's miserable condition, her pace suddenly increased.

"Harry?! Link, what's wrong with Harry?"

"I was walking too fast and almost hit someone, so we used some means to stop him. It's no big deal." Emily stood up in front of Link and said, "It's you, what the hell are you doing? ? Each one is more anxious than the other."

Hermione's expression was a little ugly. She looked at Link, then turned to look at Emily. After hesitating for a while, she said angrily:

"It's all because of that Umbridge! Harry was punished by her! Starting from tomorrow, he will have to go to Umbridge's office every night this week to receive the punishment of confinement!"

Hearing this, Link raised his eyebrows and said:

"Wow! It's not like you can say this. So, do you think it's Umbridge's fault this time?"

"Of course! Do you know what the pink toad taught us?" Hermione said as she took out a book from her arms, ""Magical Defense Theory"! Oh my God! This is a book This is a purely theoretical book, and she asked us to memorize the things in the copy book, without teaching anything that can actually be used to protect ourselves! How can we protect ourselves when she does this? How can we pass the exam? She just wants to Let’s destroy them all!”

Link and Emily looked at each other.

From Hermione's words, they discovered that the textbooks and teaching content of the NEWT Defense Against the Dark Arts class and the OWL Defense Against the Dark Arts class seemed to be exactly the same.

If this is the case, then what is the meaning of the so-called NEWT?

Link didn't think that Umbridge would make such a mistake and be lazy like this. So that meant that she had to do this for some reason?

brainwashing?

Or is it to weaken the students' fighting power?

Link and Emily exchanged glances, and said to Hermione strangely:

"So, Umbridge didn't tell you anything about the Ministry of Magic's campus recruitment expansion and the Ministry of Magic's holiday experience activities?"

"What are you talking about?" Hermione frowned, "I've never heard of it."

A smile appeared on Emily's face. She also took out a copy of "Magic Defense Theory" from her arms and told Hermione everything that happened in their first Defense Against the Dark Arts class this afternoon. .

After the two exchanged words, Hermione was so angry that Umbridge was so shameless that she was shaking all over.

Emily still maintained a bright smile.

Now she can confirm it.

Perhaps because of her disdain for lower-level students, Umbridge did not implement the same strategy in the OWL class as in the NEWT class. This means that if they continue to implement the normal plan, at least the students in the OWL class can still be won over by them. .

At the same time, Harry, who was almost killed by Link, finally recovered.

He stood up while rubbing a circle of pinch marks on his neck.

Upon seeing this, Link walked up, took out a bottle of concentrated white juice and touched Harry's neck directly. He didn't ask until he had completely removed the pinch marks:

"So Harry, what exactly are you being punished for?"

"Just like Hermione said, that pink toad Umbridge is a scumbag! Not only does she not teach us useful defense skills, but she also denies the fact that Voldemort has been resurrected!" Harry clenched his fists and said viciously. , "I couldn't get angry, so I argued with her! And you saw the result. She punished me for yelling at her and calling her a liar!

I went to see Professor McGonagall, but Professor McGonagall said she couldn't revoke the punishment because it was Umbridge's right as a professor to punish students!

But I don’t regret it, because everything I said is the truth!I didn't do anything wrong!Even if she puts me in solitary confinement for a whole year, it won't change the fact that she is a scumbag! "

As soon as this was said, Hermione rarely tried to teach Harry a lesson, but instead patted Harry's shoulder to comfort him.

"Aw! You are so brave."

Link also spoke slowly, and Harry's mood seemed to improve a lot as soon as he said these words. A smile appeared on his stubborn face, which was obviously very much appreciated by Link's praise.

But Link looked at him with a hint of pity in his eyes.

He was not praising Harry, or in other words, he was not praising Harry for standing up to Umbridge.

In Link's view, this kind of 'bravery' commonly used by Gryffindors is actually more reckless in nature.

The reason why he said this was entirely because he knew very well how devilish Umbridge's methods of punishing people were.

If Snape's punishment was mental torture and physical fatigue, then Umbridge's punishment was pure physical pain.

Not many people can endure this kind of pain.

And Harry actually dared to take the initiative to come up to him, wouldn't that be brave?

While Link was thinking wildly, several fourth-year Ravenclaw students were happily coming down from the direction of Ravenclaw Tower, passing in front of Link and others, passing through the auditorium, and heading towards Gryffindor Tower. Go.

This originally sparse and ordinary scene attracted Link's attention now, because he discovered that the arms of these students seemed to be medicine refining tools specially used for potions classes.

A bunch of Ravenclaws running to Gryffindor at dinner time with a bunch of cauldrons and test tubes?

"What are they going to do?"

Link asked with some confusion as he watched these people disappear at the end of the stairs.

"Does it need to be said? Of course I'm going to work in George and Fred's workshop." Harry explained, "George and Fred announced the recruitment of student temporary workers last night, and early this morning A notice was posted in the foyer. As a result, before noon, a large number of people had signed up."

"They are all crazy! The essential job of students is to study, not to work part-time jobs!"

Hermione said angrily.

In her opinion, George and Fred were doing something wrong. As the new prefect of Gryffindor, she felt that she had the obligation to organize George and Fred. She had even considered writing an application. Go to President Cedric and ask for a thorough investigation into this matter.

However, at this time, Link didn't care at all what she was saying.

Harry's words were like a meteor streaking across the night sky, tearing through the darkness and instantly clearing up the originally tangled thoughts in his brain.

He nodded thoughtfully, turned to look at Emily, who was watching Harry and Hermione with interest:

"I remember George and Fred came to us at noon and said that they had more temporary workers than they needed to produce, right?"

"That's what happened," Emily said inexplicably, "Why, are you ready to agree to help them share the sales pressure?"

"No, no, no, what I am thinking about is another thing. If this thing can be done, then the difficulties we are encountering now will be easily solved. Of course, whether this thing can be done, we have to see the scene with our own eyes. .”

Link turned to look at Harry and said, "Harry, let's go, take us to George and Fred's workshop."
