Umbridge was still unaware. She saw Professor McGonagall standing quietly beside her and listening to her out of the corner of her eye. At the same time, several other professors at the table stopped what they were doing and showed half-smiles, which made her even more proud and she enjoyed the feeling of power.

"Who the hell is this guy?"

Hermione frowned and stared at Umbridge, who had just interrupted Professor McGonagall, with a very unfriendly look.

When she and Ron arrived at Professor McGonagall's office, they were unexpectedly not criticized by her. Instead, they received Professor McGonagall's advice and comfort, and she praised their courage and friendship for standing up for their friends. Everyone in Hogwarts gave them ten extra points.

This made Hermione's favor towards the lovely Professor Meow, the considerate and fair Head of Gryffindor, reach its peak.

"really."

Ron leaned close to Harry's ear and said, "Your description is very vivid. It really is a pink toad."

Harry smiled softly. He was not immersed in any disgust or dissatisfaction at the moment. Instead, he was thinking very rationally. Fudge took advantage of Dumbledore's absence to send his most trusted subordinates to take charge of Hogwarts as a senior investigator.

Wasn't he afraid of Dumbledore's return? Did he want to break up with him? What prompted Fudge to speed up his actions? What gave him the confidence and courage to do so?

The speech in front of the teachers' table continued. Snape stood up, emitting a chill, but Umbridge in front of him didn't notice at all.

As the speech continued, Umbridge could see the curiosity and fear in the eyes of the little wizards in front of her.

This made her even more proud, and her voice became even more shrill. "My next task is to rate the professors, and those who don't meet the criteria will proceed to the next step."

Sybill Trelawney woke up with a start. She had a bad feeling.

"Next I will——"

"Please make way."

The dining table in front of Snape was split in half, with the food intact on the edge. He walked forward and pushed the pink toad aside.

Umbridge was not expecting the sudden push from behind, which made her kneel down suddenly. The whole hall suddenly became quiet. Snape glanced at her lightly, then left without saying a word.

Then, a huge laugh broke out from somewhere, and the entire auditorium was plunged into a sea of ​​joy.

Ron slammed the table and laughed so hard that he fell backwards. "I have never felt that Snape is so cute. I almost forgot about the points he deducted from our school before."

"Not really."

Hermione was only slightly annoyed, but her natural kindness made her feel a little sympathy for a stranger who she had no contact with, seeing her in such a predicament.

“You immediately feel like this is the absolute best day ever.”

Harry hinted.

"Oh?"

Umbridge stood up as if nothing had happened, but the hall was no longer under her control. She wanted to turn back and ask Professor McGonagall for help, but most of the people at the tables around her left when she fell to the ground.

This made her extremely annoyed. "Severus Snape," she whispered the name, gritting her teeth. One day she would find something against him and bring Dumbledore down along with him.

Umbridge found that she couldn't fit in here, but it didn't matter. She had plenty of means. How could they all unite? She graduated from Slytherin and knew their ambitions and desires best. She was now a senior investigator and had some power in her hands. As long as she won over some and suppressed some, she would always be able to get by.

No, where is my office?

Umbridge woke up suddenly, but no one around paid any attention to her. Perhaps they were still watching, or perhaps they were just looking on with disdain.

Hermione pulled two medals from her pocket. There was a long block of letters on them. Harry looked at it carefully and could make out "Promotion of Elves' Rights", but the rest was a bit blurry.

She was a little embarrassed, "You three are the original members, just consider it a commemoration, I changed the other things."

Hermione took advantage of this time to run to other familiar classmates holding the jar, hoping that they could understand the association and work together.

"Where are you going next?"

Ron nudged Harry and winked, hoping that they could act together next.

"I'm going to Professor Snape's office. Do you want to come with me?"

Ron waved his hand quickly and said, "Forget it, forget it. I'm going to study hard."

"But you can wait for me in the hall. I'll be back soon. How about we go and see the new gamekeeper and key keeper?"

Werewolf! Lupin!

Ron's heart was pounding. Due to his identity as a werewolf, he didn't dare to get close to Lupin, but he was still curious and had a good impression of him. If Harry led the way, he would go.

"Then let's invite Hermione along later?"

"She could recruit Lupin to become a member of his association."

The two of them looked at each other and then smiled. How could that not be possible?

"Wait for me, I'll be back soon."

Harry ran out of the hall quickly and passed Umbridge who was walking slowly. She noticed the boy with outstanding temperament running in front of her. The obvious scar on his forehead made her instantly identify the boy's identity.

Harry Potter - the savior created by Dumbledore himself. The pink toad narrowed his eyes and suddenly had some ideas in his mind. He might as well go over and take a look.

Unexpectedly, her idea failed the next moment, because many little wizards suddenly crowded in her path, and after a while, Harry's figure disappeared.

But there was an unexpected gain. A big Slytherin boy who called himself Bart presented himself to her and asked for something.

Harry ran forward quickly, then went down the stairs and came to the basement floor. The corridor was still relatively quiet at this time. The early morning light shone onto the walls through the narrow windows. Dust was flying gently in the air. He slowed down his pace.

crunch--

There was no one in the office. There was a small bottle of potion on the table with a small note underneath it that said, "For Lupin." There was also a long table next to it, where he and Draco studied together.

Harry took a quick glance, then left the room and carefully closed the door. Passing by the Potions classroom, through the narrow gap, he saw Snape standing alone in front of the blackboard. He was staring at the words that had already been written on the blackboard, silent.

I have always been alone, and only alone.

Harry stood there, feeling a surge of heartache in his heart, but then he suppressed it. It was more important to reunite with Ron first, as he was still waiting for him in the hall.

Waiting for Harry to run away, Snape turned his head, looked at the gap, and sighed softly.
