On the surface, the secrecy there is not very good, but considering that the owner of the tavern is Dumbledore's younger brother Aberforth and the Order of the Phoenix has permanent members there, it is actually the safest place.
Everything was unfolding in an orderly manner, and three weeks had passed quickly since Sirius met everyone in the fireplace, Hermione proposed to actually form an army, and everyone separately informed the others.
During this time, Harry was placed in detention again for contradicting Umbridge in class.
The reason is that when Umbridge asked the fifth grade students to continue to read Chapter 2 "General Defense Theory and Its Origin" of "Defense Against Magic Theory", Hermione told the other party that she had read the entire "Defense Against Magic Theory" .
She originally meant not to waste time on this, but to learn some knowledge that can be used in OWLs, but Umbridge obviously regarded this normal inquiry as another challenge to her authority.
After losing to Hermione in a debate, she directly deducted five points from Hermione.
This set Harry on fire, and confronted Umbridge head-on again.
"Why did you deduct points for her?" Harry asked angrily, standing up from his seat.
"Get out of it!" Hermione whispered anxiously to him.
"Because she disrupted my classroom discipline with meaningless interruptions," said Umbridge fluently. "I teach here using a Ministry-approved method that does not include encouraging things that students don't quite understand. Express your own opinion. The previous teachers who taught you this subject may have given you more freedom, but none of them have been able to pass the Ministry of Magic investigation, except probably Professor Quirrell, at least he seems to only teach what is appropriate for your age. content……"
"Yeah, Quirrell was a wonderful teacher!" Harry exclaimed. "Only a small fly in the ointment. He's got Voldemort glued to the back of his head."
As soon as the words were uttered, there was a silence in the classroom. Harry had never heard such a loud silence.
"I think another week of detention will help you a bit, Mr Potter," said Umbridge tactfully.
Harry was imprisoned for the second time, and Umbridge had re-ordered a new quill, which was the kind that could use witchcraft to cut the back of the user's hand. This time the confinement will not be as easy as the last time!
With the help of Lavie, Ivan figured out how this curse works.
But he doubted, even if he told Harry, would Harry understand and use the counter magic...
Ivan originally wanted to warn Harry to be calm, and it would be best to ignore Umbridge, but he was quickly put in confinement by Umbridge.
The reason is because of the new article published by Rita Skeeter in the "Hogwarts News of Wizardry", which Umbridge believes is a rumor. As the actual controller of the "Hogwarts News of Witchcraft and Wizardry", Ivan naturally To take responsibility.
After Harry went to the Ministry of Magic for trial, Rita has been staring at the uncontrolled dementors attacking Harry, accusing the Ministry of Magic of various loopholes in management, and the Ministry of Magic has never investigated this matter. response, and no investigation was conducted.
Fudge thinks Harry is lying and there are no runaway Dementors at all.
The Order of the Phoenix secretly investigated, and finally found that two dementors had left Azkaban uncontrollably and never returned. Lupine taught Rita the relevant evidence, and she immediately told them Things get published.
Not surprisingly, two uncontrollable spirits wandered outside, and this incident immediately caused an uproar.
This matter soon surpassed Umbridge's becoming the senior investigator of Hogwarts and became the hottest news in the recent period.
As the real mastermind behind the scenes, Umbridge may have panicked a bit!
But she was very careful, there is no evidence to connect this matter with her, what a pity...
Chapter 963 A Satisfactory Punishment
At five o'clock in the evening, Ivan and Harry went to Umbridge's office to be confined and accepted her punishment.
Not surprisingly, she took out the black quill during this confinement and placed it in front of the two of them.
With a wide grin and a smug smile, she told Ivan and Harry that proper pain could make them both more awake.
"But, professor, Professor McGonagall said that you are not allowed to use this dangerous quill anymore," Ivan said.
"I have my say here, Mr. Mason, I think a little pain is a good thing for you two, it can help you learn what is the difference between fantasy and reality." Umbridge said in a sweet and greasy way. Said the voice, "Well, we'd better not waste time, you two know the rules, and write with this quill: I must not lie until I am satisfied."
"Well, are you sure you want me to write this sentence with this quill pen?" Aiwen asked again, "I must emphasize once again, I think this pen and the one on it are very dangerous, and they will be damaged by the human body. The body leaves an indelible mark."
"It won't endanger your life, it will only make you firmly remember your duty." Umbridge said proudly, as if he thought Ivan was afraid, "But if you can guarantee it, don't continue If you spread or publish those rumors in the newspaper, I can terminate this punishment, after all, my purpose is to make you two realize your mistakes."
"Oh, then I'd better write a sentence!" Ivan replied with a long voice, "After all, the truth cannot be denied."
Harry sighed, it's already this time, what's the use of Ivan still talking about it?
It didn't do anything for him, except to make their punishment at Umbridge seem weaker, and make her more smug.
He picked up the black quill pen resignedly, this time with Aiwen with him, it would be easier.
But in the next second, Harry saw the feather in Ivan's hand flashing black brilliance, and a complex magic rune flashed past. He blinked to make sure he read it correctly. Harry saw Ivan Smiling to himself, he began to write with his head down.
Ai Wen dropped the tip of the quill on the paper and wrote: I can't lie.
"Ah!" Umbridge, who had been watching the two of them triumphantly, let out a scream of pain.
Harry froze for a moment, and noticed that the back of Ivan's hand hadn't been cut open, but this line of words appeared on Umbridge's cheek, a red piece, bleeding, deeply sunken into the flesh, as if with a knife The same as the scalpel carved...
Harry was puzzled for a while, but didn't realize what was going on?
It wasn't until Ivan wrote it again, and Umbridge yelled again, holding his face with his hands, twisting his toad-like wide mouth together, Harry suddenly realized, followed by a burst of ecstasy, it was Ivan who had just cast Magically, he diverted the damage the quills would have done to themselves onto Umbridge's face.
This is simply amazing, how did he do it? !
Harry stared dumbfounded at what happened in front of him, feeling extremely excited!
Ivan also kept telling him to be patient and not to provoke Umbridge, but now he has done more thoroughly than him.
Umbridge also quickly realized that Aiwen was playing tricks.
As long as Ai Wen writes, her cheeks will be hot and painful, as if the flesh is cut open with a knife.
It was the magic on that quill. He transferred this kind of injury to her body. This feeling was really terrible, as if he was actually cutting her flesh with a knife. The blood flowed down her cheeks, making her It looks even more hideous and terrifying.
"Stop, stop, you bastard, how dare you do this..." Umbridge screamed deeply.
"I'm sorry, Professor, what are you talking about?" Ivan asked, but the handwriting quill kept writing at an extremely fast speed.
"Ah, I tell you to stop, ah, stop quickly, don't write!" Umbridge shouted in a sharp voice, and she rushed forward to snatch the quill in Ivan's hand.
But there was a flash of red light, and Umbridge flew backwards and fell hard to the ground.
"Professor, I hope you calm down. There is no provision in Hogwarts' school rules and the laws of the Ministry of Magic that professors have the right to attack students, but students cannot defend themselves properly." Aiwen said, "And I am accepting Your punishment for me, you told me clearly just now, I can't stop writing until you are satisfied, I can't be sure whether you are satisfied now. "
Following Aiwen's movements, Umbridge's face felt burning pain, and those words were engraved into his skin again and again. After a few seconds, the wound healed quickly, but Aiwen wrote too fast, the skin Heals slower than being cut.
A series of red scratches remained there, and thin drops of blood emerged.
If Aiwen continues to write, Umbridge may be disfigured. The damage caused by this kind of witchcraft is difficult to heal. No matter where she goes in the future, the first thing people will see is her expression: I Don't lie.
She deserved it, Harry thought with glee, feeling the dissatisfaction that had built up since the beginning of school was swept away.
"Stop it, you'll regret it, Mason, one hundred points from Gryffindor, I'll fire you!" Umbridge yelled.
Enduring the pain, she took out her wand and cast a few spells on Ivan.
But it didn't work at all, the green light flew towards Ivan, and there were several bangs.
A crimson shield with exquisite patterns appeared in front of Ivan out of thin air, blocking all Umbridge's magic.
As long as she doesn't use the Killing Curse or several other special spells, Aiwen is confident to block the opponent's attack with this shield.
If Umbridge lost her head and used that kind of extreme magic, then she would be in real trouble!
Regardless of whether she is a senior investigator or the special deputy minister of the Ministry of Magic, just using the Unforgivable Curse on Ivan is enough to get her locked up in Azkaban.
"Stop, Mason!" Umbridge said in a flattering tone, the attack was useless, the threat was useless, she seemed to finally understand the current situation, and the pain on her face was almost unbearable for her...
"Professor, I'm so stupid. I haven't heard you say I'm satisfied. I'm not sure if I should stop your punishment." Aiwen wrote Umbridge and said calmly. He had already thought about this matter. How it just ended!
"Satisfied, I am very satisfied, you are doing well, Mr. Mason, stop now!"
"Okay, Professor!" Ivan said, "But I still have to say, you really don't want to use this quill in the future, it's too dangerous!"
Chapter 964 Follow-up
Harry had never been so happy before, as if it was Christmas, he swore that he would engrave this picture in front of him and Umbridge's pleading humbly in his mind, and never forget it in his life.
When he and Ivan left Umbridge's office, they were still a little dazed, with a smile on their faces.
It was only after passing through a dimly lit corridor that Harry calmed down, worry followed by great joy.
Umbridge will surely have his revenge, and they're about to be expelled from school!
Harry didn't care at all, seeing Umbridge in such a bad way was enough, and he'd long since wanted to do it, rush up and give the old toad a good beating.
But Aiwen did a better job, using her quill to leave the "I can't lie" mark on her face.
Use her own evil method, use her own blood, to give her a lesson that can be remembered for a lifetime, and see if she will be embarrassed to deliberately distort the facts in the future. If Harry is Umbridge, he probably will not have the face to go out to meet people in the future Alright.
Come to think of it, how would she explain the scars on her face to other people?
Also, how do you explain the meaning of the phrase "I must not lie"?
There is no way to explain it at all, at least Harry can't think of how to say it. He learned from Ivan that because of the witchcraft damage, it is difficult to erase that line of writing, and it may take an extremely long time to erase it. Disappeared, if it cannot be erased, then she will bear this shame forever in the future.
Everyone who sees her in the future will know that she is lying and that she is a person who cannot be trusted.
This is what she deserves, and no one deserves this punishment more than her.
"Ivan, how did you do it?" Harry couldn't help asking, "Is it the magic on that quill?"
"Oh, that's a witchcraft that sacrifices the user's own blood. Its essence is similar to our black magic. As long as you understand the working principle, it is easy to decipher it and change the target of the sacrificer."
Harry nodded half-understanding, as long as he knew the effect.
After this time, Umbridge will never use that kind of quill in her life, and Ivan's behavior tonight may leave an indelible shadow in her heart.
"By the way, what should we do now?" Harry said, taking a deep breath, ready to be expelled.
"It goes without saying, of course we are going to find Professor McGonagall!" Ivan said calmly, "Although the problem with Professor Umbridge's quill is her own business, we'd better inform other professors to deal with it kind of accident."
"Well, an accident?!" Harry blinked, suddenly realizing that they might not get fired!
Yeah, they didn't take the initiative to attack Umbridge, and they didn't even disobey her orders. She asked Ivan to copy the sentences and didn't stop until she was satisfied. Ivan kept doing what she said, and there were problems. All he had was the black quill.
And the quill was indeed provided by Umbridge to the two of them...
This matter was finally settled with the intervention of Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall. Ivan denied all of Umbridge's accusations, and he insisted that the quill that Umbridge gave him was the cause of the crime. There was a problem, not what he did.
Ivan would not admit that he had that ability, he even said that he didn't even know any magic on the quill.
Think about it, this is the "normal" level of a young wizard at Hogwarts, and there is nothing wrong with what Ivan said.
This dangerous voodoo magic item is always like this, prone to problems of one kind or another, even accidentally hurting yourself.
That's why Aiwen told Umbridge not to use this quill pen to punish students anymore, it's too dangerous!
In the end, even Dumbledore said that the witchcraft on the quill is very unstable, and it is normal for problems to occur. Therefore, this incident is not that Ivan violated the school rules and attacked Umbridge, but just a "Accident".
Although anyone with a discerning eye knows what's going on, Umbridge's face is still bloody, but she can't do anything, there is no evidence at all, even if she asks anyone to investigate, this is the case, Aiwen has not attacked on the surface Instead, she did exactly what she said...
Umbridge can only admit that she is unlucky. If she troubles Aiwen next time, she needs to use a better method.
It is very bad behavior for her to use this dangerous magic item to punish students. Dumbledore has clearly told her to stop using it. It is not good for Umbridge's own image to say such things, and she does not want to let more people People know about it.
She hates Aiwen so much now, but there is nothing she can do.
No matter how you look at it, she can't hold Aiwen responsible for this matter, and she should praise him.
Because Aiwen faithfully implemented Umbridge's order, even though he clearly knew that such a request was unreasonable.
It wasn't until a few hours later that Ivan learned from Professor McGonagall that Umbridge yelled in Dumbledore's office without manners, asking the principal to expel Ivan and Harry immediately, and pretended to be like her. It doesn't look the same when it comes out.
She kept mentioning the Ministry of Magic and Fudge, but Dumbledore just didn't like it.
Not surprisingly, he directly rejected Umbridge's unreasonable request.
He told Umbridge that such a request was unreasonable, and that even the headmaster of Hogwarts could not expel students without reason.
No one else had that right, nor did the High Inquisitor and the Ministry of Magic.
However, he promised to strengthen the management of Ivan and Harry. Ivan should stop immediately when he finds that there is a problem with the quill, instead of continuing to carry out Umbridge's order, causing her to suffer great harm...
Now that Ivan and Harry are students of Gryffindor College, Dumbledore asked Professor McGonagall to decide on their punishment and complete the remaining confinement, and suggested that Umbridge himself go to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries as soon as possible. Scars on...
Professor McGonagall prepared biscuits for the two of them, and added [-] points to each of them because they completed their transfiguration homework very well.
The meaning of the praise is self-evident. If Umbridge knew it, he would probably go crazy. After admonishing, Professor McGonagall let Ivan and Harry go back, and told them that the confinement is over and the whole process Not half an hour.
And what greeted them in the Gryffindor common room was a revelry, everyone celebrating that they had taught Umbridge a lesson.
Although the two of them have been in Professor McGonagall's office, during this period, many people have seen Umbridge, who had blood on his face and the words "I must not lie" engraved on his face, froze from Walking through the hallway...
Chapter 965 Pig's Head Bar
Ivan didn't care about Umbridge. He wanted to ask Dumbledore about the situation with the vampires, but the other party didn't give him a chance. Inside the office.
Umbridge was not seen at school for several days after that.
