The Mightiest Badger at Hogwarts

Link quietly stood behind Umbridge and spoke slowly.

This turn of events frightened Umbridge to the point where she almost jumped up, turned around suddenly, started to retreat crazily, and even almost fell down.

Draco was even more miserable than Umbridge.

The first time he heard Link's voice, he screamed in fright, and then got into the niche 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 were just afraid of seeing Link, so you hid, weren't you? Ha! You even deliberately chose a women's bathroom for this!"

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

After a while, Draco's crying voice came out:

"I...I didn't!"

Umbridge, who had now reacted, also glanced sideways at the alcove.

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

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

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

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

At the same time, Link became a little impatient and said again:

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

Harry became anxious as soon as these words came out.

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

"No, Link! Leave quickly and leave me alone!"

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

Harry's eyes turned red when he heard this, and he was almost crying.

Umbridge smiled cruelly and said:

"That's really not possible. Whether it's you or Harry Potter, you both have to come with me!"

After saying that, she seemed to think of something again and continued, "Don't even think about escaping with others. Many people have seen you tonight. Unless you want to leave Hogwarts and wander around, I can always catch you." Stay with you!"

Link shrugged upon hearing this and said lightly:

"That's okay, 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 a few more. Ask others to go to the library and check if there are any people who are out of breath. And check the bathroom, Miss Parkinson can Check the girls' restroom.

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

Link readily agreed and followed Umbridge while supporting Harry, who was weak and almost falling again.

A few minutes later, they arrived in front of the principal's office.

Harry's nose stopped bleeding.

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

But at this moment, his heart ached terribly.

Umbridge's previous words made him very worried about the safety of Ron and Hermione.

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

In this case, Ron's parents would probably beat Ron to death.

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 Link with his strength?

He was the one who dragged Link down!

Looking at Link's smiling and seemingly nonchalant expression, Harry felt extremely guilty.

At this moment, Link is still trying to force a smile just because of his emotions.

But at the same time, he also felt a little bit happy in his heart.

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

Without Link by his side, he might collapse, right?

"Brioche roll."

Umbridge said rhythmically.

After saying this, the monster stone statue immediately jumped aside, and the wall behind it split into two. They walked up the moving stone stairs and arrived at the bright door.

There was a griffin knocker on the door, but Umbridge didn't waste any time knocking, but stepped straight in.

Although it is late at night, the office is crowded with people at this moment.

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

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

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

And Percy.

After not seeing each other for a few months, the thin, freckle-faced boy next door had disappeared.

He was replaced by a senior official from the Ministry of Magic!

Wearing a navy blue robe and a oily haircut, Percy stood there, his aura even stronger than Fudge's.

They all stared down below with vigilance and seriousness.

As soon as Umbridge came in with Link and Harry, everyone in the office turned their attention to her.

Their main focus is, of course, Link.

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

But Harry always felt a little weird.

Compared to excitement, Fudge's movements seemed more like fear!

But... would his dignified Minister of Magic be afraid of Link?

Still scared to the point of trembling?

why?

Harry couldn't figure it out.

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

Facing the silent gazes of everyone, Umbridge raised her 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. Porter could not be punished alone, so he jumped out on his own initiative. "

As soon as he said this, Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall, and even the principals on the wall all looked at Link with approval.

Bravery and friendship are always worthy of praise.

Especially now that their position was opposed to Umbridge's.

Upon seeing this, Link just smiled and nodded to everyone in response.

"What a great job!" Fudge said with a stiff smile, "I will remember to tell Lucius. So now, Link... I think you should know why you are here, right?"

Harry felt like his heart was about to jump into his throat.

He could notice that Dumbledore was shaking his head silently at them. The movement was small, but he could still observe it.

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

What surprised him was that Link smiled without hesitation:

"Of course."

As soon as these words came out, the expressions on the faces of Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall instantly dropped, and Harry also had the urge to roar.

In contrast, Fudge and the others started rubbing their hands together excitedly.

But at the next moment, I heard Link continue:

"I'm sorry that we went on a night trip, Professor Dumbledore. But what I can't understand is why Minister Fudge showed up here with someone? Do you think you need to take action personally for such a small matter?"

As soon as these words came out, the situation in the entire office instantly reversed.

Dumbledore and McGonagall had smiles on their faces again, while Fudge was stunned.

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

"Walking at night is indeed one of the school rules you violated, but I am here because in addition to violating the school rules, you also violated the laws of the Ministry of Magic!"

"Really? Why don't I remember such a thing?" Link said nonchalantly, "At least I definitely didn't violate the laws that I already know about."

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

Hearing this, Link couldn't help laughing.

It was as if I heard something funny.

This seemed to completely offend Fudge, and his entire face began to turn red rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Mr. Minister, I think," Umbridge said in a whisper, "if we bring the whistleblower, maybe our progress will be faster."

"Yes, yes, go for it!"

Fudge nodded in realization.

Waiting until Umbridge left the office, he glanced at everyone present with malicious intent and said, "There's nothing better than a good witness, right?"

Only the two wizard guards dressed as Aurors in the audience dryly agreed with Fudge.

Dumbledore and others all had sullen faces.

After a few minutes, the door opened again.

Everyone heard the sound and saw Umbridge walking in quickly.

Behind her were several men and women dressed as inspection team members, all of whom lowered their heads so that no one could see their faces clearly.

"Don't be afraid, dears." Umbridge said to them gently, "It's okay now. You have done the right thing, and the Minister is very satisfied with you! The Ministry of Magic is now in a period of employment, and I can guarantee that you Heroes will not be treated badly!"

"That's natural!" Fudge said enthusiastically. "Scrimgeour, 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 that you will be there. Will...oh! Merlin!"

Fudge was suddenly frightened and screamed out in the middle of his words.

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

And their faces were already covered with dense sores, some of which were so severe that they even caused facial deformation. They all looked like lepers!

Everyone in the office was shocked.

Even the 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. Some girls even cried.

Harry was almost stunned.

Although it was a little difficult to identify, he still recognized from their vague outlines that they were all once members of.

But now, they have taken refuge in Umbridge, been brought as witnesses, and at the same time there are so many sores on their faces...

To say that none of this is related would be complete nonsense!

Harry suddenly remembered the list everyone signed at the first meeting.

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

And now...it seems to be true!

"We were wrong, Mr. Foley! Please! Help us lift the curse!"

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

"Shut up! You silly girl!" Umbridge roared angrily after hearing this, "I will find a way to find someone to solve the injuries on your faces! Don't think about being a wallflower! Come on, tell me what you said before Tell Mr. Minister again what happened!”

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

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

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

But when Link heard this, he just shook his head calmly and said:

"I can see that this is a curse caused by violating the magic contract. Although I have made some achievements in potions, if you think I can cure you, you are really overestimating me."

Link really wanted to laugh at this time.

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

They have obviously betrayed.

Those who were not loyal to the new master actually went so far as to ask the old master to take back the punishment imposed on them.

This is really... so stupid!

"But this curse is obviously yours..."

An inspection team member said excitedly, but was stopped by a companion next to him mid-sentence, "Stop begging him, it's useless."

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

"Mr. Minister, let me get this straight. For the past few months, we have been attending rallies of an illegal student organization founded by Link Foley and Harry Potter.

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

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

Dumbledore took the gold coin smoothly, looked at it carefully for a while, and then said with admiration:

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

"Thank you very much, Professor Dumbledore."

Link smiled and bowed to Dumbledore.

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

This completely angered Umbridge. She slammed her hands on the table like a furious lion and said:

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

Dumbledore looked at Umbridge in confusion and said:

"Why are you so serious? We all know that these are just slanders. Don't they?"
