Master Druid at Hogwarts

Chapter 665 The Ministry of Magic is in Action
Umbridge acted quickly, and Cornelius Fudge visited Hogwarts two nights later.

And he led a team of Aurors by his side, and the leader of the Aurors was Kingsley Shacklebolt who had been beaten up by Fish with a group of cats and dogs.

"Could it be that the Ministry of Magic has issued some new education order, and you, the minister, need to tell me in person, Connelly?" Dumbledore smiled and poured him a cup of black tea, then looked at the five behind Fudge. Auror, "Or you finally believed what I said, that's why you bring so many bodyguards by your side."

The expression on Fudge's face froze for a moment, and then he explained with a dark face: "I'm very busy, Dumbledore, they just finished their work with me, and then they came along along the way."

Of course, any wizard with normal intelligence would not believe this explanation, and the Floo Network and Apparition are not fake.

But Dumbledore did not expose Fudge's lie, but made an exaggerated expression of sudden realization.

"Oh..." He raised his head slightly with a long voice, "Then, what is the purpose of you coming to me, Connelly?"

Then he looked at the five Aurors behind Fudge and asked, "What would you like to drink?"

"No need, Dumbledore." Fudge interrupted him forcefully, "Let them go out and wait, I have something I want to talk to you alone."

"Okay, then I'll arrange a house elf... Dobby!" Dumbledore called out an elf, "You take these..."

"That's unnecessary!" Fudge interrupted again.

Dumbledore frowned, but in the end he didn't say anything and let Fudge play.

"They all graduated from Hogwarts and don't need any guides," Fudge said.

"Well, it seems that there is no need to trouble you here for the time being, so you can go back first." Dumbledore winked at Dobby.

"Dobby is always at your service! Mr. Dumbledore!" The elf bowed deeply, and then disappeared.

And Kingsley and others also bid farewell to Dumbledore and left the principal's office.

Outside the principal's room, Umbridge had been waiting beside the gargoyle statue.

As soon as she saw Kingsley and the others come out, she immediately said excitedly: "Quick! Come with me! While the minister is pestering Dumbledore now, let's quickly dig out his hidden secrets!"

Kingsley followed Umbridge worriedly and walked outside the castle.

He and the other four Aurors were called by Fudge temporarily, and they didn't know what happened. Fudge just told them to cooperate with Umbridge to investigate Dumbledore's secrets.

And just now in the principal's office, Dumbledore didn't give him any hints, so he didn't know if the Ministry of Magic really caught Dumbledore.

"Where are we going?" Fortunately, at this time, his colleague Williamson asked.

This is a wizard wearing a scarlet robe and a ponytail. He is usually more curious and talks a lot. He is two extremes with the taciturn Dawlish with short gray hair.

Umbridge, probably for the purpose of claiming credit and showing off, quickly told them what he discovered two days ago.

Then Kingsley was immediately relieved...Dumbledore would not be that stupid, and with his level of magic, he didn't need to wear an invisibility cloak at all.

So... Umbridge was tricked by Dumbledore?

Kingsley thought gloatingly.

Umbridge does have a good reputation among the top echelons of the Ministry of Magic, but in the eyes of practical people like Auror, her image is not very good, especially after the things she has done before are exposed. No Auror would think highly of her anymore.

So although the other four Aurors also sensed that something was wrong, none of them even opened their mouths to remind Umbridge.

Soon, the Aurors, led by Umbridge, arrived near the Whomping Willow.

"Speaking of which, this tree seems to have been transplanted when I was in school." The talkative Williamson said again: "It is said that there was a Slytherin student who accidentally broke into this place and was almost beaten. die."

Kingsley, who knew the truth of the matter, raised his eyelids and said nothing was wrong.

But Umbridge was frightened by Williamson's words. She took a few steps back and ordered loudly, "Then think of a way!"

"Let's use a defensive spell together and rush over?" a young Auror named Savage suggested.

But Umbridge was still a little dissatisfied: "Can't we just get rid of this damn tree?"

"Of course you can destroy the tree directly," Kingsley glanced at her lightly, and then changed the topic: "But what should we do if Dumbledore asks us if we don't find anything later? Can you bear the burden?" Is this responsibility?"

If it's about taking credit, Umbridge is of course doing his part, but if it's about taking the blame, that's another story.

What's more, she can't make any mistakes in her current situation. If she makes mistakes, she probably won't have to wait until the end of this semester before being thrown into Azkaban by the angry Minister Fudge.

"Then..." Umbridge swallowed, and changed his words: "Let's do what you said."

So the five Aurors teamed up to release all the protection spells, and then ran under the Whomping Willow against the defensive magic. Umbridge followed closely on her stubby legs. behind.

The Whomping Willow, sensing that someone was approaching, waved its branches and hit them head-on, but they were all blocked by the protective spell cast by the Aurors.

Just when they were about to reach the tree, Umbridge, who was running, suddenly felt his legs being stirred by something, and then he fell to the ground involuntarily.

The Aurors running ahead didn't notice that she was falling behind, and continued to run forward.

Immediately afterwards, the branches of the Whomping Willow suddenly accelerated their attack frequency, and lashed at Umbridge who had fallen to the ground.

The twigs crackled against Umbridge's back, making her howl.

"Ah----!!!" Umbridge screamed like a pig being slaughtered.

She raised her wand and wanted to fight back, but the Whomping Willow seemed to be wise. First, a branch was drawn on the back of her hand, causing Umbridge to let go of his hand in pain, and then another branch came, Flicked her wand away.

Umbridge, who had lost his wand, could only cover his head with his arms, rolling on the ground in vain.

"Help! Help me!!!" She rolled around on the ground to avoid the attack of the Whomping Willow, and begged the Aurors for help.

But Kingsley and the others didn't seem to realize that she had fallen until this time, and quickly ran back to help Umbridge up from the ground, and then they dragged her to the tree.

"Why don't we send you to the infirmary first?" Kingsley kindly suggested, looking at Umbridge, who was covered in mud and fallen leaves and was in a mess.

"No...don't worry about me," Umbridge ordered through gritted teeth while gasping for air in pain, "Look around quickly, there is something unusual around here!"

"Okay..." Kingsley nodded, and said to the other four people, "Go and search the vicinity, I'm here to protect her."

The entrance to the secret passage below the Whomping Willow wasn't hard to find, so the Aurors found it quickly.

"Here's a tunnel!" Williamson shouted.

Umbridge immediately ignored his own pain and limped to his side with Kingsley's support.

"That's right! It's here! There must be evidence of Dumbledore's plot against Minister Fudge!" She shouted excitedly, and was the first to get in.

The five Aurors looked at each other, and followed into the tunnel...

After all, it is still very stressful to have to withstand the endless attacks of the Whomping Willow.

However, when the Aurors got into the tunnel, they found that Umbridge, who had just taken the lead, was standing obediently in the corner, not taking a step forward.

Above the tunnel, the Whomping Willow also stopped attacking, but it let down a branch, lightly touching a certain kitten that had disappeared and tripped Umbridge just now.

"Meow~"

(=ω=)
Putting on Harry's invisibility cloak and turning into an invisible cat, Fish called softly, then rubbed against the trunk of the Whomping Willow, followed Umbridge and the others, and got into the tunnel. middle.

　Dawlish, Williamson, Savage, and one I didn't mention, Prout, are all characters in the original book.

　　Savage and Prout just mentioned it in Tonks' mouth. Williamson played once and had a line, while Dawlish played the most part, but there was no line... There seems to be a line, but I'm not sure if it is he said.

　　So I added some second settings according to their performance in the original book, such as Williamson's talkativeness and Dawlish's reticence.

　　In addition, the strength of other people is not clear, but Dawlish's strength is really a bit watery...

　　According to Dumbledore, he is an excellent Auror, and the NEWT exams have all reached excellent... Then he was picked by Dumbledore and given a second.

　　Afterwards, he was slapped in the face against Hagrid in six-on-one.

　　At the beginning of the seventh part, he was controlled by the Death Eaters with the Imperius Curse, and then he was sent to St. Mungo by Grandma Neville who failed the Charms class (as Professor McGonagall said)...

　　Dumbledore said he was a good Auror... well... judge for yourself.
