Watts doesn't have a single Weasley left, does it? Malfoy smiled obsequiously, and Umbridge gave a happy, smug grin. She sat in a chintz-covered armchair, blinking up at her captives like a flower-bed. the toad/toad.

"So, Potter," she said, "you've got sentinels all around my office, and you've sent this idiot," she nodded at Ron—Malfoy laughed louder—"tell me Pippi The Ghost was wreaking havoc in the Transfiguration room, but I knew very well that he was busy inking the eyepieces of all the telescopes in the school - as Filch had just reported to me.

"Obviously it's very important to you to talk to that person. Is it Albus Dumbledore? Or Hagrid the bastard? I don't believe it's Minerva McGonagall, I've heard she's seriously injured Can't talk to anyone."

After hearing this sentence, Malfoy and some members of the investigation team laughed even more happily.Harry felt his heart fill with resentment, and he was shaking. "Who I talk to is none of your business," he growled.

Umbridge's slack face seemed to tighten. "Very well," she said, in the most frighteningly false mildness, "very well, Mr. Potter. I gave you the opportunity to confess to me unsolicited. You refused. I had no choice but to force you. Draco - get Professor Snape."

Malfoy stuffed Harry's wand into his robes and left the room with a smug smile, but Harry barely noticed him.He's just realized something; he can't believe he's so stupid as to forget it all.He thought that all the members of the Order of the Phoenix, all those who could help him save Sirius, were gone - but he was wrong.There was still one member of the Order of the Phoenix at Hogwarts - and that was Snape.

There were some struggling and writhing sounds as the Slytherins struggled to control Ron and the others, but otherwise the office was silent.Ron tried to break free from Warrington's arm around his neck, and the blood from his lips was dripping onto Umbridge's carpet; Lytlin girl's feet; Neville tugged at Crabbe's arm, his face gradually turning purple; Hermione was trying in vain to shake Millicent Burst away.Only Luna stood listlessly beside her captor, looking out the window blankly, as if she was rather bored by the incident.

Harry looked again at Umbridge, who was staring at him intently.Footsteps were heard in the corridor, and Draco Malfoy entered the room, leaving the door open for Snape to enter.Harry purposely scrunches up his face in a calm expression.

"You want to see me, Headmaster?" said Snape.With a cold expression, he glanced at every struggling student.

"Ah, Professor Snape," Umbridge said, standing up smiling, "yes, I want another bottle of Veritaserum, the sooner the better, please."

"You took my last bottle of Interrogation Potter last time," he said, eyeing her coldly through greasy, curtain-like black hair. "You must not have used it all? I told You, three drops are enough."

Umbridge blushed. "Could you make some more?" she said, her voice growing sweet like a little girl's, as it always did when she was annoyed.

"Of course," Snape said with a curl of lips, "that would take a full moon cycle to prepare, so I'll have it ready for you in about a month."

"A month?" Umbridge gruffly, raising his voice like a toad, "A month? But I want it tonight, Snape! I just found out Potter was using my fire and Contact one or a few unknown people!"

"Really?" said Snape, turning to look at Harry, showing a slight interest for the first time, "Well, I'm not surprised. Potter never showed much desire to obey the school rules. "

His impassive black eyes stared at Harry's in disgust, and Harry met his gaze without flinching, concentrating on what he had seen in his dream, hoping Snape would read it in his mind. to these.

"I want to interrogate him!" Umbridge yelled, and Snape looked away from Harry and back to Umbridge's violently twitching face. "I wish you could give me a potion." , to force him to tell me the truth!"

"I've told you," said Snape quietly, "that I don't have any more Veritaserum. Unless you wish to poison Potter - and if you do, I can assure you, I would agree very much with you - otherwise I couldn't help you. The only trouble is that most venoms work so quickly that the victim doesn't have much time to tell the truth." Snape looked at Harry again.Harry stared at Snape, trying to communicate with him silently.Voldemort had Sirius in the Department of Mysteries, he thought desperately, Voldemort had Sirius—"You're still on probation!" shrieked Professor Umbridge, and Snape looked again at the She raised her eyebrows slightly. "You deliberately don't help! Lucius Malfoy always admires you so much, I expected you to do better! Get out of my office immediately!" Snape bowed sarcastically at her, Turned around and left.Harry knew that the last chance to inform the Order of the Phoenix was coming out of the room.

"He's got Padfoot!" he yelled. "He's got Padfoot where the thing was hiding!"

Snape stopped with one hand on Umbridge's doorknob.

"Bigfoot?" shouted Professor Umbridge, looking eagerly from Harry to Snape. "What is Bigfoot? What's hiding somewhere? What the hell does he mean, Snape?"

Snape turned back to look at Harry.His expression was unfathomable.Harry didn't know if he understood, but he didn't dare to speak more clearly in front of Umbridge.

"I don't know," said Snape coldly. "Potter, I'll give you a nonsense drink when I want people to yell at me. And Crabbe, you strangle me a little bit more. If Longbottom is smothered, and that means many tedious reports. If you apply for a job, I'm afraid I'll have to mention that in your identification as well."

He slammed the door behind him.Umbridge's chest heaved in exasperation.

"Very well," she said, drawing her wand. "Very well...I have no other choice...This is more important than school discipline...It's about the safety of the Ministry."

She seemed to be talking to herself, convincing herself to do something.She swayed restlessly from side to side, staring at Harry, tapping her wand on her empty palm, breathing heavily.Harry felt helpless without his wand as he watched her.

"You made me do it, Potter. I really don't want to," said Umbridge, still swaying restlessly in place, "but sometimes it turns out that, when used . . . I'm sure the Minister will Understand that I have no choice."

Malfoy looked at her with a wistful expression on his face. "The Cruciatus Curse should get you to talk," said Umbridge softly. "No!" screamed Hermione, "Professor Umbridge - it's illegal."

But Umbridge didn't hear it.Harry had never seen that fierce, eager, excited look on her face before.She raised her wand.

"The Minister doesn't want you breaking the law, Professor Umbridge!" cried Hermione.

"As long as Connelly doesn't know about it, it won't upset him," said Umbridge.Panting slightly, she pointed her wand back and forth at various places on Harry's body, apparently trying to decide which would hurt the most. "He never knew, for example, that I ordered the dementors to go after Potter last summer, but he was glad to have the chance to fire him, and he's the same now."

"Is that you?" Harry gasped. "You sent dementors after me?"

"Someone has to act," Umbridge murmured, her wand paused, and then pointed to Harry's forehead, "They're all muttering about how to shut you up - discredit you —but it was only I who actually took action. But you managed to escape, didn't you, Potter? But not today, not now—" She took a deep breath, and cried, "Drilling— "

"No!" Hermione yelled hoarsely behind Millicent Burst. "No - Harry - we have to tell her!"

"Never!" Harry yelled, staring at the small part of Hermione's cock that he could only see.

"We've got to tell her, Harry, she's going to force you to tell it anyway, so what's the..." Hermione began to cry weakly behind Millicent Burst's robes.Immediately Millicent stopped pushing her against the wall, and turned away from her with an expression of disgust.

"Very well, very well!" said Umbridge triumphantly. "This questionable lady is going to give us some answers! Then come here, little girl, come here!"

"Oh - my - no!" Ron yelled through the gag.

Ginny stared at Hermione like she'd never seen her before.Neville was still suffocating, but was also staring at her.But Harry had just noticed that although Hermione was sobbing desperately into her face with her hands, there wasn't a single tear.

"I - I'm sorry everybody," said Hermione, "but - I can't take it anymore -"

"That's right, that's right, little girl!" Umri said
