Together [HP]

The practice that night was still going on as usual, but it seemed that something distracted Yuna a little. When practicing Legilimency, Jacqueline easily let Yuna see her changed memory, and Yuna also ignored it. Some of her little flaws.It's just that Yuna didn't say anything, and Jacqueline didn't dare to ask, but just practiced hard over and over again.She is very clear that this is related to whether she can survive in the future, and she is not interested in making fun of her own life.

"Jacqueline," Yuna didn't stop their practice until after ten o'clock in the evening.She waved to Jacqueline and let Jacqueline sit in front of her. She looked a little shocked and a little disappointed. "I want you to remember one thing, firmly remember, never underestimate the impact of fear and power on a person."

Jacqueline froze, she looked at Yuna, Yuna looked a little tired.Did Fudge do something else? "What can I do for you, Mom?"

Yuna smiled reassuringly, and she shook her head slightly, "Thank you, Jacqueline, but enjoy these last few months."

"But, Mom..." Jacqueline sat up straight anxiously, "I..."

Yuna held out a finger to stop Jacqueline, "Do your own thing, Jacqueline."

Jacqueline pursed her lips and stood up, she knew Yuna didn't want her to touch these things yet. "Yes, I see, Mom."

Yuna looked at her and nodded, "Good night."

Jacqueline sighed, "Good night, Mom."

Jacqueline thought she wouldn't figure out what was going on until she was an adult, but in fact, she knew the next day.Malfoy had been reading aloud the news from the Daily Prophet when she and Pansy had walked into the Great Hall to eat that morning.

"This is an exciting new step in the minister's sweeping plans to try to rein in the so-called decline in educational standards at Hogwarts. The Inquisitor will have the power to scrutinize her fellow teaching staff to ensure they are all up to standard." Umbridge The professor was offered this position in addition to her faculty position, and we are pleased to report that she has readily accepted."

"These new measures by the Ministry of Magic have been enthusiastically supported by parents of Hogwarts students."

"Now I know that Dumbledore will be judged fairly and objectively, and I feel more at ease," Mr Lucius Malfoy, 41, said last night at his Wiltshire mansion. Those whose children's interests have been concerned for several years by Dumbledore's erratic decision-making are relieved to know that the Ministry of Magic is keeping a close eye on the situation."

"Those outlandish decisions, no doubt including the appointment of controversial faculty, have been commented on in this paper, including the hiring of werewolf Remus Lupine, half-blood giant Rubeus Hagrid, and fake ex-Pride Lo "Mad-Eye" Moody."

"Of course there are rumors that Albus Dumbledore, once the chairman of the International Federation of Wizards and the chief wizard of the Wizengamot, can no longer take on the responsibility of running Hogwarts, a prestigious school. Heavy duty."

"He's really too old to take on the responsibility of running Hogwarts." Draco said, laughing at those around him who would listen. madman."

Jacqueline tilted her head and frowned at Draco for a few seconds before she suddenly smiled. "It's funny," she said, laughing, stuffing the buttered bread into her mouth. "It's funny."

"If you ask me, I'd say you're abnormal." Pansy frowned. "I still don't understand why the headmaster allowed this to happen, an investigator? That's almost like a second headmaster."

"Because he's not an old lunatic." Jacqueline winked at Pansy. He wasn't going to stand up to Fudge's policies just yet, and obviously, Yuna didn't want to either. "Since my mother doesn't want me to participate in their games, I have to have some fun for myself, which happens to be a practice."

"Practice? Games?" Pansy looked at her in confusion, Pansy's eyes began to search the Gryffindor table, "I think I need to find Miss Granger and ask her to translate for me." Tell me what you're talking about."

Jacqueline shook her head mysteriously, and then dragged Pansy to the dull history of magic.

Then, when they went to Potions class, Jacqueline was somewhat surprised to see that Hermione, Harry, and Ron all looked nervous.

"Did you read the paper this morning?" Hermione whispered eagerly in Jacqueline's ear as soon as she sat down.

"Anyone in Slytherin who is not deaf can hear it. Draco read it aloud." Jacqueline began to take out her cauldron.

"How could Fudge do that," said Hermione worriedly.

"He's the Minister of Magic now, of course he can." Jacqueline replied logically, and then she saw Hermione's angry expression, flattened her mouth, and continued to explain, "Not everyone is hearing," Jacqueline said. Guilin coughed unnaturally, "After that person is resurrected, he will be ready to fight like you Gryffindors."

"He's wasting his efforts!" said Hermione angrily. "He should use that energy to catch the mysterious person instead of suspecting the principal!"

"It's a pity you're not the Minister of Magic." Jacqueline snorted, "Otherwise you would have come up with a better policy than Fudge."

Hermione glared at Jacqueline angrily, and she wanted to continue, but Jacqueline stopped her with her hand.Hermione looked at her both dissatisfied and a little curious. After 2 minutes, the class bell rang.Snape strode in, their moonstone papers in hand, and Hermione immediately forgot to talk to Jacqueline, and stared at the stack of papers.

"This grade I'll give you is what you'll get if you turn in something like that in your owLs," Snape sneered, walking briskly among the class to hand back homework to them , "This should give you a clear idea of ​​what to expect on the exam."

Snape walked to the front of the room and turned to face his classmates.

"The general level of homework this time was abysmal. If it were an exam, most of you would not pass it. I hope, in this week's paper on various types of antidotes, you will put a little more effort into it, Or I'd have to put some of those stupid 'D's in detention."

His face was full of sneers, and Malfoy sneered slightly, and said in a small but far-reaching voice: "There are still people who got a 'D' ha!"

"Since he graded us according to the standard of OWLs, I don't think we can expect to get the highest grades, right." After Potions class, when everyone handed in their enhancers, Hermione and Jagui Lin said as she walked towards the auditorium. "At this stage, it's encouraging to get a pass. After all, we have enough time to improve and improve."

"I don't think we'll have any reason to think we're going to get it in the OWLs if we don't get an 'O' which is the highest grade, 'excellent,' right now," Jacqueline shrugged. "If you want to know what I'm an 'O', it's not hard."

Hermione glared at Jacqueline through gritted teeth, and then she turned to look at Harry, Ron, and Pansy who were following behind them. "Of course, between now and the exam, we still have enough time to improve and improve. Our current grades are like a starting line..."

"I'd be content if I could get an A in the OWLs." Pansy waved impatiently, "O's what a broken mind like you would want to go after. And it's better than a D anyway. Go ahead." Pansy glanced at Potter and Weasley, "Oh, if any of you get a D, just pretend I didn't say anything."

Harry's face burned, but fortunately they all entered the Great Hall, Jacqueline and Pansy walked to the Slytherin table, and they walked to the Gryffindor table.

"So you're going to ask me what I got, like Miss Granger?" she asked when Pansy and Jacqueline sat down at the table.

"No." Jacqueline replied, ladling the soup into her own bowl. "A large part of your article is a modification of mine, and I have read your article. If you don't get Oh, that only proves that my article also needs to be improved. Rather than looking forward to what the future OWLs results will be, I want to know whether Potter will continue to compete with Umm in Defense Against the Dark Arts this afternoon. Professor Ritchie confronts."

Pansy let out a high-pitched laugh when she heard that, "I wouldn't be in the least bit surprised if she put Harry in detention for a term. But, seriously, I got an A for a pass, the lowest pass. .”

"That's pretty good." Jacquiline nodded, "Granger probably got an E at most, which means exceeding expectations. What is Professor Snape's comment on your article? I want to know, I still Is there any room for improvement.”

"He said to me, if I rewrite yours next time, I'll give me a terrible 'T'."

Jacqueline smiled at Pansy and went on with her meal.

But Pan Xi seemed to have no appetite, "Why would he add another big rock that I can't get over in my already tragic life?"

Jacqueline thought for a while, and then she said slowly, "You can go around."

"I want to read your article!" This was the first sentence Hermione said to Jacqueline when she walked into the classroom of the arithmetic and divination class.

"Let me ask Dumbledore first, if he allows me to show you the article." Jacqueline began to take out her textbooks and stationery and put them on the table.

"I can't believe it!" Hermione couldn't help but exclaimed. "I put all the information I found on it. I saw the length of your paper, and yours is much shorter than mine."

"Because the OWLs exam has nothing to do with the accumulation of knowledge points." Jacqueline lowered her voice, and at this time their professor walked in. "Potions are about understanding, applying and innovating."

Hermione looked at her in bewilderment, then shook her head heavily, "Then let's talk about Professor Umbridge's role as Inquisitor."

"Are you worried about Hagrid?" Jacqueline said casually.

"I didn't!" Hermione's voice rose suddenly, and all eyes of the class were on her.Professor Victor glanced at them on the podium, and then used an arithmetic problem to easily bring everyone's attention back to the blackboard.

"Honestly," Jacqueline said, working out the calculations in her notebook, "control your facial expressions, please? Anyone can tell you're lying."

"Hagrid hasn't come back yet." Hermione ignored her and said to herself, "We're wondering if Dumbledore gave Hagrid some tasks that made him delay for so long, but, I don't understand what is keeping him from coming back."

"Then think about it carefully." Jacqueline said softly, flipping through the book, "What can Hagrid do, but other members of the Order of the Phoenix can't do."

Hermione's eyes widened suddenly, "Did you mean..."

Jacqueline raised her eyebrows, then she lowered her voice as if she had thought of something, "For your own good, don't go against Professor Umbridge."

"How can you like someone like her." Hermione said, frowning.

"I don't like her as much as you do." Jacqueline quickly threw her arms across, "But in this situation, it's no good to confront her."

Hermione didn't speak, she focused her eyes on the blackboard again, but from the corners of her mouth tightened, it was clear to Jacqueline that she didn't listen to a word.

Merlin bless.Jacqueline looked at the blackboard in front of the classroom and thought to herself, hoping that Potter could not help but jump out of every Defense Against the Dark Arts class.

Then maybe Merlin really heard Jacqueline's prayer. In the next Defense Against the Dark Arts class, although Hermione questioned Umbridge again, Harry jumped out without hesitation, confusing This was a mess, and then, to no one's surprise, he was locked up again for a week.

"Don't you think it's weird?" When Jacqueline and Pansy walked down the meadow to Care of Magical Creatures class together on Tuesday afternoon, they all saw Umbridge holding a clipboard at the Professor Poulan's side. "I heard she just checked Professor McGonagall's lesson for Gryffindor, how the hell is she standing here unscathed?"

"Maybe Professor McGonagall is waiting for Professor Snape to pour her a vial of poison," Jacqueline said softly, and they both laughed.

"I need you two to help me with this class." Hermione's voice sounded behind them both, and they turned their heads together. Hermione, Harry and Ron were standing behind them, looking at Graplan worriedly. professor.

"Why should we do a Gryffindor a favor?" Pansy asked.

"If Hagrid is willing to change his temper, you don't have to worry about it here." Jacqueline said while looking at Malfoy, who was whispering to Crabbe and Goyle, looking eager Use this opportunity to spread gossip about Hagrid to Umbridge.

Jacqueline raised her chin at Malfoy, "Or you can punch him and send him to the school infirmary."

"If I had to, I would," said Hermione angrily.At this time, Professor Grandplow asked them to gather together. In this class, they still had to learn Bowtruckle.

Umbridge walks around the class this class, asking them about their knowledge of Fantastic Beasts.Hermione kept pinching Jacqueline's arm nervously, looking like she wished she could rush up and answer all of Umbridge's questions.

Fortunately, the whole class was very safe, until Umbridge asked about the Hippogriff, it is conceivable that Harry yelled at Malfoy again in order to defend Hagrid, Then he was sentenced to confinement again.

"He can't always be like this." Hermione's face darkened as they walked to the Great Hall for dinner. "He should control his temper."

"Oh, yes." Jacqueline said angrily. She rolled up her sleeves and looked at her arm, which had a very obvious nail print. "What are you going to do? Knock him out?"

"I, hey, I..." Hermione looked a little hesitant, she stood at the gate of the castle, and gave Jacqueline a nervous look, "I have an idea, one, not very mature yet idea."

"Thank you Merlin, you still know how to ask." Jacqueline continued, "Then, whatever you are thinking, don't do it."

"But we don't learn anything about Defense Against the Dark Arts from Umbridge at all," said Hermione. "I think that's what she means, don't you see? She doesn't want us to learn anything offensive at all." spell."

"I think she's right." Jacqueline nodded. "Many things cannot be solved with a single spell. Most of the cases still require brains."

"But," Hermione continued, looking around, "but we need to be prepared, at least to protect ourselves, and we need a teacher who can teach us how to use spells."

Jacqueline's face immediately became serious when she heard this, and she understood what Hermione was thinking. "You want to set up a..." Jacqueline originally wanted to say 'study group', but she understood that it couldn't be just a study group, "a society like the Order of the Phoenix, and let someone else be the teacher? "

"This is just a preliminary thought," Hermione's face suddenly brightened, just like her usual fanatical passion for SPEW, and she took a deep breath, "Before I tell anyone, I want to Let me hear your thoughts first."

Jacqueline's brain was spinning rapidly, such a society, a society that could be said to secretly resist the professor sent by the Ministry of Magic.She would be caught, sooner or later, and if Umbridge couldn't even find out what was happening right under her nose, Fudge wouldn't have sent her.

And after that?Such a society will only intensify the conflict between Hogwarts and Fudge. This is an opportunity, a very good opportunity.

"I think it's a very good idea." Jacqueline tried her best to suppress the excitement in her voice, "I don't think you should only focus on Gryffindor, your grade. If you can , you should try to find as many people as you can, preferably Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw students." Fudge and Umbridge should be shown how many people want to resist them.

Jacqueline licked her slightly dry lips, "Potter, if you want him to be the leader, you must not stand up. If you need to persuade Potter, then you go and tell him, he is the only one I know what it feels like, what it feels like to face a mysterious person, and only he has actual combat experience."

"That's not true," said Hermione suddenly, "you saved me from the troll in first year, and you and Harry killed the basilisk in second year. when……"

"We're not talking about me now." Jacqueline interrupted her, "If Potter doesn't agree, you can move Cedric out, you should ask him why Cedric died, if you can, Better to mention that Cho would be happy to see him do it. You need a place other than that, a somewhat safer place. A place that Umbridge certainly wouldn't go to for your activities, but You still have to be careful..."

"You'll join us, won't you?" Hermione grabbed Jacqueline's arm excitedly and interrupted her, "We, I need you, Jacqueline."

Jacqueline snorted coldly, she wanted to pull her arm back, but Hermione's grip was too tight. "I don't think anyone would be happy to see a Slytherin join you under the circumstances."

"But," said Hermione eagerly, "even the Sorting Hat has said it, we need to stick together, stick together."

"It just moves its mouth."

Hermione looked a little surprised and flustered, "Please, Jacqueline, think about it. We really need you, please."

Jacqueline frowned, she didn't know what to say, but she knew very well that she absolutely couldn't participate in this matter.Otherwise, this will bring too much trouble to my mother, and it will also affect my plan. "I'm sorry, Hermione, but..."

"I'm going to dinner." Hermione said when she heard 'I'm sorry', she tried to keep her voice as natural as possible, "Just think about it, Jacqueline."

Jacqueline closed her eyes, rubbed her temples, and let out a long breath. It seemed that she needed to make a plan.Great, one more thing to do.
