"I hope you can continue to be stubborn in the future. Now you can leave."
Umbridge glared at Harry with disgust. She was annoyed by the other party's stubbornness, so Umbridge had no intention of letting Harry go so easily. Although she said that you can go, she had already decided in her heart that Filch would give the annoying guy in front of him a hard time.
"Harry, let's go."
Hermione pulled Harry out of the office as he was about to continue his scolding, fearing that Umbridge would suddenly change her mind.
"Harry, are you okay?"
As soon as they left the Defense Against the Dark Arts Office, members of the Anti-Toad League surrounded the three of them and asked a lot of questions.
"It's okay, it just hurts a little," Harry muttered.
"You shouldn't have been so reckless to provoke Umbridge just now. You're the only one who will suffer." Hermione looked at Harry with a reproachful look, not understanding why Harry had become so reckless.
"The toad actually dared to use the Cruciatus Curse on you. She should be sent to Azkaban prison." Ernie Macmillan was very angry. He simply couldn't believe that officials from the Ministry of Magic would actually use the Cruciatus Curse on Hogwarts students.
Ernie Macmillan's words were echoed by a lot of people. Everyone was angry and uneasy. They were shocked by Umbridge's cruel methods.
"Let's take you to the school hospital and let Madam Pomfrey check you out." Hermione interrupted. She was now more worried about Harry's physical condition.
"Oh, yes, let's go to the school hospital first." Ron immediately agreed.
"Before going to the hospital wing, I'm afraid Potter will have to take me to the dungeon first."
A voice came from the side. Filch appeared at some point, followed by members of the investigation team.
"Go ahead Potter, this is the headmaster's order." Malfoy sneered, "Or do you plan to be expelled?"
The next moment, the corridor was filled with a tense atmosphere, with both sides pointing their wands at each other.
"Do you want to be put in solitary confinement too?"
Filch glared at the group of arrogant guys and raised the whip in his hand to threaten them.
However, he did not dare to irritate the students, but turned to Harry and said, "Weren't you very stubborn just now? I hope the dungeon can calm you down. Let's go!"
"Don't be too happy too soon. You will get into trouble sooner or later." Harry glanced at Malfoy and followed Filch to the dungeon.
"Harry..."
Under the gaze of everyone, Harry was locked in a cage under the castle. It was not known whether it was Filch's intention, but Harry was not hung up like the Weasley brothers.
"It seems that they really want me to escape from here, so that they can find an excuse to fire me." Harry raised his foot and kicked the gate hard. After venting his anger, he said to Hermione and Ron outside the iron gate.
"Toad still loves to disgust people."
"Harry, are you okay? You just..." Hermione looked at Harry worriedly. She had noticed a long time ago that Harry was very irritable and abnormal. This had never happened before.
However, what surprised Hermione even more was that Harry actually used magic to open the gate.
"Harry, what are you doing..."
Before Hermione could finish her words, Harry waved his wand and cast the Muffling Charm.
"Harry, how do you feel?"
Ron asked worriedly after checking the corridor and confirming that no one was around. Harry had just been hit by Umbridge's Cruciatus Curse twice, and although he seemed fine now, it was still worrying. There must be a reason why the Unforgivable Curse was called the Unforgivable Curse.
"Not bad." Harry took off a necklace from his neck and stuffed the specially made defensive necklace into his pocket. "This thing is not as useful as I thought. It has a general effect in weakening the Unforgivable Curse."
"Harry, you..." Hermione looked at Harry, then turned to look at Ron, speechless with surprise, "You actually..."
Hermione had felt that Harry and Ron were not normal, but she had no idea what they were up to. She had suspected that they wanted Umbridge to go to the Forbidden Forest to find the so-called secret base of the Order of the Phoenix, so that the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic could fight those giant spiders.
Is this possible
In Hermione's opinion, the probability was not high.
"Recently, Toad has been tormented by Fred and George. If I don't tell her some information, Toad will not give up and will come to trouble me sooner or later." Harry took a bottle of purple potion from Ron and drank it to relieve the pain caused by the Cruciatus Curse.
Umbridge's own magical powers were not very strong, so the Cruciatus Curse she used was of very average power, especially after she had experienced Voldemort's Cruciatus Curse herself.
"Toad is doomed now!" Ron muttered. "Many people overheard her, and she even used the Cruciatus Curse on Harry."
"Use Veritaserum and the Cruciatus Curse on the students. I think these two items should be enough to send Umbridge to Azkaban prison." Harry rubbed the place where the Cruciatus Curse pointed.
"It seems that the old liar's prediction is about to come true again." Ron sighed softly, "I always thought she was just an old liar."
"Do you really think that old liar can do that?" Harry curled his lips and said, "I dare say that it must be a prophecy made by Albert."
The reason Harry did that just now was actually because he was reminded by Albert, or rather, Albert reminded him through Fred and George.
If Umbridge really used the Cruciatus Curse, he could settle the score with her after Fudge fell from power. He believed that as long as the next Minister of Magic was not a fool, he would know what to do.
"You... so... Harry, you just deliberately provoked Umbridge to use the Cruciatus Curse on you?"
Hermione already understood what they were trying to do, and looked at Harry and Ron with a complicated expression. It turned out that the strange feelings they showed were... intentional.
"Intentionally? No, Hermione, it wasn't intentional. If Toad hadn't used the Cruciatus Curse, this wouldn't have happened. No one had ever forced her to do it. You should have seen that she even found a ridiculous excuse for herself." Harry raised the back of his hand and said coldly, "After all, Toad sent herself in. If I were her, I would pay more attention to those prophecies, especially after most of them came true."
To be honest, Harry had never disliked and hated anyone so much. Even Voldemort had never enjoyed such treatment.
So, when Fred and George came to Harry and told him about Umbridge, he agreed without hesitation. He wanted to make the Toad pay the price instead of getting away with it.
"You should have told me," Hermione said, accusingly.
"You won't agree." Harry shook his head.
After making sure that no one was eavesdropping, Harry used the Mute Charm again before telling Ron and Hermione about the incident.
"Fred and George told me that even if Dumbledore was reinstated as headmaster, Toad would at most be expelled from the school." Harry's face was filled with undisguised anger and disgust. "They believe that Toad is likely to be suspended for investigation due to allegations of abuse of power, and there is still a high probability that she will return to the position of Senior Deputy Minister of Magic in the end, rather than being fired and arrested for her behavior at Hogwarts."
"Just based on the shit she did at Hogwarts, the investigation was simply stopped? And in the end she was even able to return to the position of Senior Deputy Minister?" Hermione's eyes widened in disbelief, thinking she had heard it wrong.
"This is likely to be the result. I don't understand politics, but this speculation should be true. Although Fred and George told me this, this prophecy is most likely Albert's speculation. Although he is reluctant to admit it, Albert's speculation is usually very accurate and he rarely makes mistakes." In Harry's opinion, the shit Umbridge did was enough to get him imprisoned in Azkaban countless times. How could such a disgusting guy continue to stay in a high position and harm people after ruining Hogwarts
Harry hated the Ministry of Magic.
Therefore, he chose to believe Albert's judgment, agreed to increase the weight, and sent the other party in personally.
"Even if Umbridge finally escapes, I will accuse Umbridge of abusing her power at school through the Daily Prophet or the Defense Express, and of using Veritaserum and the Cruciatus Curse. Especially the Cruciatus Curse, which is enough to tear off her ugly mask." Harry's slightly hideous face made Hermione feel very uneasy.
"Hermione, you don't think we should just let the toad go, do you?" Ron turned his head and looked at Hermione. There was a reason why they didn't tell Hermione the whole thing, they were worried that Hermione would not agree.
"No, of course... I mean the next Minister of Magic can't be a fool like Fudge." Hermione said puzzledly: "Everyone must choose a courageous wizard to fight against You-Know-Who. It definitely won't be a weak and incompetent guy like Fudge."
"Who knows?" Harry shook his head. "A lot of times, politics isn't as simple as you think. Although I don't understand it either, I don't expect the Ministry of Magic to punish Umbridge. They are simply unreliable. In fact, apart from fighting for power, they can't do anything well. Since the Ministry of Magic is unreliable, I will personally send Umbridge to Azkaban prison."
