The Mightiest Badger at Hogwarts

"Let's talk about the logo later. I'm not interested in this kind of thing right now. It's just too flashy."

Link said lightly.

The rest of the people present were relieved when they heard this.

They were afraid that Link wanted to develop in the direction of Death Eaters or Saints (Grindelwald's organization) from the beginning, which would be really bad.

At least Si Gefen cannot accept it now.

And now seeing Link rejecting Newland so simply and neatly, Si Gefen felt a little ashamed, feeling that he was judging a gentleman with a villain's heart, so he quickly said:

"In that case, Mr. Link Foley, please let us sign a contract similar to the one signed by those outside just now! This is the best way to ensure the loyalty of the members. Don't worry, I will be the first to sign!"

While talking about Si Gefen, he started to roll up his sleeves, looking impatient.

As soon as he said this, the Kennedy siblings and Newland were a little reluctant.

Their willingness to accept Cedric's invitation to join this organization does not mean how loyal they are to Link. They are just doing what they need.

And now that Si Gefen proposes that they sign a magical contract that may cause them to lose their freedom, they are naturally unwilling.

"I have already said that this so-called army has just been established for less than a day, so there is no need to do anything fancy. Just maintain the status quo. We will talk about it later whether we need to create organizational marks and member contracts."

Link waved his hand, ignoring the obvious signs of relaxation among the Kennedy brothers, Newland and others, and turned to continue to say to Newland, "But I have another thing that I need you to do now, Newland, I don't know. Are you willing or not?"

Newlan was a little surprised, but he reacted quickly and immediately stepped forward and saluted Link:

"Guaranteed to complete the mission."

"Then," the corner of Link's mouth curled up with a strange arc, "you will soon tell Umbridge that I gathered nearly a hundred people to form an army."

"what?"

Hearing this, Si Gefen exclaimed.

In his opinion, the affairs of their secret societies should be classified as secrets among secrets.

In the front hall, Hermione semi-forced everyone to sign a pledge, and even the core purpose of Skeffen's proposal to sign an organization membership contract just now was to prevent others from knowing this secret.

But in the end, Link wanted to take the initiative to tell this matter?

And also to tell it to Umbridge, the most difficult opponent of the army at present?

This was something Si Gefen couldn't understand at all.

It's a pity that Link ignored him and continued to look at Newland and said word by word:

"Besides that, I also need you to gain her trust. You should understand what I mean, right?"

A strange smile that was somewhat similar to Link finally bloomed on Newland's face.

He gave Link another more elegant and solemn gentlemanly salute, and then said:

"Wait for my good news, Mr. Foley, this is my specialty."

"Then let's all disperse." Link sat back on the sofa and said, "Those who are willing to go to the banquet in front can go to the banquet, and those who don't want to go back to bed quickly."

"Then let's take our leave now, Link."

Cedric smiled and waved goodbye to Link, and after saying that, he led the rest of the people out of the secret room, his steps looking a little hurried.

But Link instantly understood as soon as he thought that Cedric's girlfriend Cho Chang was still in the hall in front, and she was still with Harry and the others.

"Tsk tsk tsk..."

Looking at Cedric's back and smacking Barry's lips twice, Link turned his attention to Emily who had remained silent just now and said:

"what do you think?"

"What are you referring to?" Emily lay on Link's back and said while rubbing a strand of Link's hair, "Is it the formation of this army, or those newcomers?"

"Let's talk about it."

Link, who felt a little itchy, shook his head, but Emily grabbed a strand of hair again, rubbed it and said:

"Although setting up an organization for fun will not be of much use to the current situation, there are still some benefits in general. In this case, let Cedric do it if he wants to."

"As for the newcomers...the Kennedy brothers and sisters are fine, but they are also the most useless. Although their talents in alchemy are outstanding, they are not yet at the top level in the world. Considering our wealth and size, Said, they can only be useless.

As for Si Gefen and Newland, well, I don’t know much about Si Gefen, but I’ve heard that there might be some problems with the brain circuitry.But Newland is clear to me. "

Emily paused and said in a more serious tone:

"This guy can be considered a celebrity in our Slytherin. He is a mixed-blood wizard, but he has always lived in the Muggle world and was raised by his Muggle mother. Don't look at him smiling today and looking gentle and elegant.

But in fact, he is full of conspiracy and conspiracy, and few people are not afraid of him when he goes crazy. "

"Haha, you're just a smart little guy."

Link said with a sneer.

His impression of Newland was actually worse than that of Si Gefen.

Although Si Gefen seems to have a brain circuit problem, it can be seen from the opponent's fighting style that the opponent is not pedantic, but rather wise and foolish.

But what about Newland?

Everyone knows that he is smart, everyone knows that he is cunning, and he will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals.

The results of it?

He thought he was using the organization's logo to test Link, the leader of the organization, about the military's development direction. Others couldn't see the trend?

In fact, in Link's eyes, Newland's method is too childish.

"Since you know everything, why do you still send him to deal with Umbridge?" Emily puzzled, "Aren't you afraid..."

"What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that he will take advantage of the situation and really join Umbridge?" Link said with a smile, "This is actually a test. It doesn't matter that the Kennedy brothers and sisters are scientific researchers, but Skeffen has gone through the test He just came in, how can he, Newland, be an exception?"

"You asked him to test something as important as this?"

Link patted Emily on the shoulder and comforted:

"Don't worry. If he can pass the test according to my wishes, then forget it. What if he is really stupid enough to join Umbridge? Don't forget, we still have that share in our hands. It’s recording.”

Emily breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, but then a sense of embarrassment rose on her face, and she glared at Link complainingly.

Link laughed when he saw this, and stretched out his hand to pull Emily closer to his arms.

……

In the hall, the joyful banquet has come to an end.

The kings of banquets like George and Fred were already drunk at this time, let alone the other pure eaters like Harry and Ron.

If Ron's return hadn't been such a joy, they would have left the hall with the others.

Cedric walked out of the passage with Si Gefen and others. He didn't even bother to say hello and walked directly towards Qiu Zhang who was chatting and laughing with Harry and others.

Although Link never mentioned it to Harry that Harry seemed interested in his girlfriend, Cedric was actually aware of it.

He wasn't too upset about it.

After all, his girlfriend Qiu Zhang is the jewel of Ravenclaw.

It's not surprising that there are competitors.

Cedric has been able to stay with Qiu Zhang for so long, and he has already defeated countless love rivals.

Although Harry is considered outstanding, it is nothing.

It’s amazing, just give it a try.

Si Gefen and others did not care about his departure.

The Kennedy brothers and sisters had been hungry for a long time. When they saw that there was still a lot of food piled on the long table in the center, they immediately cheered and rushed towards it.

Newland looked at Harry and others who were still in jubilation with an unclear expression, as if they were lost in thought.

Suddenly, a huge force came from his back and hit his shoulder, staggering him and waking him up from his meditation.

The hesitation in Newland's eyes disappeared instantly, and he looked indifferently at Si Gefen, who bumped into him intentionally.

Si Gefen didn't take it seriously, raised his fist as if in demonstration and said:

"Remember what I told you, don't use your dirty methods on these lovely juniors and juniors! Otherwise..."

Si Gefen stopped talking, carried his sword, and left the hall at a fast pace.

Newlan stared at Si Gefen's back and waited until he disappeared. Then he calmed down the madness in his eyes and walked out with a calm expression.

You can't conflict with Skeffen yet. The most important thing is to complete the task given by Link.

Fortunately, Link chose the venue of the meeting next door to Umbridge's office very badly, so Newland didn't have to spend much time at all. He turned a corner and found the door of Umbridge's office as soon as he went out.

Newland stood quietly in the corner, waiting until Harry and all the guests in the hall had left, and then walked up.

"call--"

Newland took a deep breath, put a gentle smile on his face again, and then rang the doorbell.

At the same time in the office.

Umbridge was sitting behind the exaggeratedly large desk, looking at the office she was in with an intoxicated expression.

Originally, according to her aesthetics, the office should be filled with various cat albums and ornaments.

But she was unwilling to move even a chair because of the furnishings in this office.

Because the furnishings of this office are completely replicas of Fudge's office, the Minister of Magic.

Only here could Umbridge fall into the fantasy of replacing Fudge.

At this moment, a crisp doorbell suddenly rang.

Although the sound was not harsh, it still woke Umbridge out of her dream.

As if someone suddenly exposed the ugliest thoughts in her mind, she turned to look at the door with fear on her face, and then realized that this was not the Ministry of Magic at all, and it was impossible for Fudge to ring the doorbell.

Heaving a long sigh of relief, Umbridge didn't have time to resent the guy who disturbed her sweet dream, so she put on her sweet fake smile and stood up to open the door.

creak-

The door opened, and two extremely hypocritical smiling faces faced each other.

Looking at the familiar smile on the other person's face, both Umbridge and Newland were stunned.

After a while, Umbridge, who was the first to react, said with a raised voice:

"Hey, it turns out to be Newland."

As she spoke, Umbridge moved her body back, but she had no intention of getting out of the way to let Newland in.

There was even a hint of disgust and contempt in Umbridge's eyes when she looked at Newland.

Although Newland is well-known in Slytherin, even Umbridge has heard of it, but he has a bad reputation. Others are afraid of him at most, and he is not respected like Link at all.

On top of that, Newland is a mixed race.

Moreover, he was a 'bastard' who was raised alone by a Muggle mother since he was a child, and whose wizard father has disappeared!

Umbridge didn't like this kind of person.

Even though Umbridge herself is also a mixed-race.

Newland has spent so much time with Umbridge, so he naturally understands some of Umbridge's views on him.

Hearing this, he didn't say any nonsense and said directly:

"Professor Umbridge, good evening, I'm here to report something to you about Harry Potter and Link Foley."

"Oh?" Umbridge's eyes lit up and she asked, "What's the matter?"

Newland didn't speak, just glanced into the office, and his meaning was self-evident.

A trace of annoyance flashed across Umbridge's face, but for the sake of the information Newland said, she still got out of the way and said:

"Look, my forgetfulness is getting bigger and bigger, please come in..."

Under Umbridge's 'enthusiastic' invitation, Newland finally left the house.

The two of them stepped on the wooden floor all the way to the desk. Newland showed great restraint along the way, acting as if he was very curious about the decoration in the office, but he didn't dare to look around.

Seeing this, Umbridge's annoyance subsided a little. She sat back at her desk and held up her hands and said:

"Newland, can you tell me about that now?"

"Of course, Umbridge!" Newland suddenly stood up and said like a child who was awakened from a distraction. "What I want to say is that Harry Potter and Link Foley organized a student self-study organization. !”

As soon as she said this, the look of expectation on Umbridge's face disappeared, and she twitched the corners of her mouth and said with some dissatisfaction:

"I thought it was something. They got together to discuss what's the big deal about studying?"

"What if," Newland leaned closer and whispered, "the number of people in their organization reaches almost 100, and the name of their organization is Army?"

"What did you say?!"

Umbridge's eyes narrowed sharply, and she screamed and stood up, "Army... Dumbledore's Army? Okay! I didn't expect them to be so courageous!"

Umbridge was pacing around the office excitedly.

What others don't know is that her purpose in coming to Hogwarts this time is not only to cause trouble for Dumbledore and see if he can drive him away, but also because Fudge is worried that Dumbledore is in Hogwarts. He secretly trained his army in an attempt to overthrow his rule.

Now that she had finally caught a clue, how could Umbridge not be excited?

On the spot, she felt the urge to write a letter to Fudge to ask for credit.

But when she actually opened the drawer and took out the letter, the bulging bag of gold galleons in the drawer made her calm down instantly.

Umbridge's hand holding the letter froze in mid-air. After struggling for a long time, she pulled it back and said in as calm a tone as possible:

"Newland, good boy, I'm not surprised that the proud man Harry Potter would do such a thing, but Link is different. He is an outstanding student recognized by Minister Fudge. How can you prove this? Does the matter really have anything to do with him?"

After hearing this, Nulan still stood at attention, raised his head and said loudly:

"Because I was there at the time!"
