A Magical Journey Starting at Hogwarts

Chapter 482: The person taking the blame is a whistleblower who is not human inside or outside

"You, you said you can heal my face?" Marietta was a little disbelieving, "Really?"

"Do I need to lie to you?" Aaron said scornfully, "This kind of curse may be a bit tricky for other people, but for me it's just a matter of minutes."

Marietta was immediately excited. She was a girl after all, and for girls, nothing is more important than their face.

And now her entire face was covered in purple pustules. After looking in the mirror, she even wanted to die.

"But..." Aaron paused and said meaningfully, "I don't know how to treat people who lie, so you don't need to remind me what to say next!"

Marietta froze on the spot, on the verge of tears.

She really didn't want to go out to meet people with such a face, but if she wanted to heal her face, she had to follow Aaron's script and admit that she had lied. There was no D.A. party at all.

But Umbridge would definitely hate her to death. This senior investigator was not a kind person, and she couldn't bear the revenge afterwards.

"Gaius, what do you mean?" Umbridge cursed angrily.

"I just encourage Miss Aikemo to tell the truth. Is there a problem with this?"

Umbridge: ...

Why is there no problem? The problem is huge.

be honest? Only when you are satisfied can it be considered the truth!

"Minister, I suggest that Mr. Gaius start treatment now. I believe Miss Aikemo will not let us down."

"Mr. Gaius." Fudge gave Aaron a forced smile, "Miss Acmore is so pitiful now, why don't you treat her first?"

"I'm sorry, but I obey." Aaron refused bluntly, "Mr. Minister, it's not that I don't give you face, but after curing her, what should I do if she wrongly accuses me again?"

"The Ministry of Magic can cure her face without your help." Umbridge said confidently, "This kind of curse is not particularly difficult to remove. The therapists at St. Mungo's Hospital of Witchcraft and Wizardry can do it in a week at most."

"We'll see." Aaron said nonchalantly.

Umbridge glared at him fiercely, then turned to look at Marietta, "My dear, tell the truth without any scruples.

I and the minister also have your back. "

"But I..." Marietta hesitated.

"Your face is definitely not a problem, I promise it can be cured." Umbridge smiled kindly, "Think about your mother, she is still working in the Ministry of Magic.

If you lie, it will have a negative impact on her, but being honest may help your mother find a better working environment. "

"Tsk!" Aaron couldn't help but smacked his lips, "It's an eye-opener, it's really an eye-opener!

Professor Umbridge, although you have not taught me any Defense Against the Dark Arts, I have finally understood the meaning of coercion and inducement. "

Umbridge was unmoved, and Fudge pretended not to hear anything.

"The party..." Marietta glanced at Aaron nervously, and bravely said intermittently, "Basically once a week, it takes place in the Room of Requirement, Gaius is the leader, and Potter is the assistant... They teach Let's learn some Defense Against the Dark Arts."

"Pfft!" Aaron sneered, "Sorry, I just thought of something funny."

"Minister." Umbridge breathed a sigh of relief, "This is the truth!"

“Mr. Minister, I admit that Ikemo’s story is well told.

But again, evidence. Without evidence, it is Chi Guoguo's frame-up. "

"You need evidence, right?" Umbridge calmed down, "No problem, you can call the party members over for interrogation one by one, starting with Harry Potter. I don't believe there is no one who will let go."

"Interrogation?" Professor McGonagall couldn't bear it anymore and cursed: "Dolores, if I understand correctly, you are going to torture me to extract a confession!"

"I will never allow you to treat my students rudely." Dumbledore said, and the hint of anger in his voice made Umbridge tremble.

"Calm down, Mrs. Umbridge," said the dark-skinned, bald wizard. "You shouldn't get yourself into trouble now, especially while the Minister is here."

call!

Umbridge took a deep breath, "You're right, Shacklebolt, I lost my temper."

She turned to look at Marietta, with a hint of coldness in her voice, "Miss Acmore, I don't want to force anyone to do anything, but you'd better think about whether there is any evidence."

Gulu!

Marietta swallowed hard, and everyone's eyes fell on her, making her feel like crying.

She is just an ordinary fifth grade student, how can she withstand such pressure.

"Evidence, evidence..." Marietta muttered to herself, her brain working rapidly, constantly recalling all the information about the D.A., and after more than ten seconds, a bright light appeared in her eyes.

"I remember, I have evidence."

"Really? My dear, I knew you wouldn't let me down." Umbridge quickly changed her face and said gently, "Where's the evidence? Come out quickly."

Marietta dug in her pocket for a long time and took out a gold galleone.

Professor McGonagall's pupils shrank. As a master of transfiguration, she could clearly feel the traces of transfiguration on this gold coin.

"This is made by Granger. She will notify us every time of the gathering through the number on this Galleons."

"Hahaha." Umbridge held the Galleons in her hand, unable to contain her excitement any longer, she smiled proudly, "Mr. Gaius, what else do you have to say."

Aaron thought he had made a mistake in his heart, but his face did not change at all, "Can you let me take a look? I didn't even know we had this kind of contact method."

"Are you thinking of another crooked idea? Do you think I will let you succeed?"

"I didn't ask you." Aaron rolled his eyes speechlessly, and then looked at Fudge, "Mr. Minister, it concerns my reputation. I think I have the right to inspect this so-called evidence."

A look of hesitation flashed across Fudge's face. Like Umbridge, he was also worried that Aaron would cause another accident.

"Mr. Minister, in addition to being a student of Hogwarts, I am also the heir of the Gaius family." Aaron said seriously.

"Show him." Fudge said helplessly.

"minister?"

"I said show him.

There are so many people, Mr. Gaius can't do anything under our noses! "

Hearing this, Umbridge sighed slightly and handed the gold Galleons in her hand to Aaron.

Aaron smiled and took it, while covering the entire principal's office with illusion.

In the eyes of others, he was seriously inspecting the gold galleons that had been cast by a transformation spell, but in fact the gold galleons were burned to ashes by the flames in his hand and replaced by a real gold coin. .

Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall were able to see through this illusion, but looking at the performance of others also made them secretly frightened. They didn't expect Aaron's illusion level to reach this level.

However, they had a tacit understanding and didn't say much. They just nodded slightly towards Aaron.

Seeing this, Aaron couldn't help but complain secretly in his heart.

After all, the ages of these two people are on display here, so it is normal that illusions cannot deceive their eyes.

If he hadn't broken through to the mid-level magician, he wouldn't have dared to use illusions in front of so many people. If he was discovered, the fun would be extraordinary.

But now it seems that the effect is quite good. The two people brought by Fudge are not weak in strength. They should be above the mid-level magisters, but not much higher.

The two of them just noticed something strange, but they couldn't tell what it was.

Fudge, Umbridge and Percy were completely unaware that they were in an illusion. As for Marietta...ignore it.

Half a minute later, Aaron lifted the illusion. He pretended to look at the real Galleon in his hand, frowning.

"Mr. Minister, with all due respect, this doesn't look fake."

"What?" Umbridge was shocked and quickly took the gold Galleons from Aaron's hand and placed it on the table.

She took out her wand and pointed it at Garen and cast several spells to identify the true and false, but it had no effect at all.

"How could this happen?" Umbridge was shocked, and then pointed at Aaron with an angry look, "It's you, you must have dropped it."

"You are blind!" Aaron said with a half-smile, "Professor Umbridge, I admit that I don't like you very much, but this is not the reason for you to slander me!

Mr. Secretary is still here. Even if I want to make small moves, I still have to be able to do that. Or do you think Secretary Fudge will open his eyes and tell lies? "

Umbridge suddenly choked, and her breath was stuck in her throat, unable to come up or go down. It was extremely uncomfortable to hold it in.

Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall looked at each other, and they could see the speechlessness in each other's eyes.

Although Slytherin was unscrupulous in doing things, this was the first time they had seen someone as shameless as him.

"That's enough, Dolores." Fudge sighed quietly, his tone full of disappointment, "This evidence is obviously false."

Umbridge's face suddenly fell, and she looked at Marietta fiercely, "Miss Acmore, you actually lied to me."

"I don't have one, it's just a prop for communication." Marietta said without tears.

"I have seen today what it means to fight against the odds." Aaron silently added, "Maybe she just doesn't like us, so she thought of a way to use Professor Umbridge to deal with us."

Umbridge's eyes lit up. She hadn't caught them in action, and there was no definite evidence. She no longer had any confidence in 'cracking the criminal gang'.

But calling Fudge over only made him happy in vain, which was no different from making trouble unreasonably.

She desperately needed someone to take the blame, and it was obvious who it was.

I'm sorry, girl.

Persimmon is still picky, but you are the only one here to be bullied!

Umbridge grabbed Marietta and turned her to face her, "Miss Acmore, I need an explanation."

"I really didn't lie to you, I said everything I needed to say." Marietta said tremblingly.

"Then you'd better have other evidence, otherwise...you will be imprisoned for cheating on the professor."

Marietta was so frightened that she cried on the spot when she heard Cho Chang talking about what Umbridge's confinement was like.

Dumbledore raised his wand and flicked it. Umbridge took a few steps back before stopping.

"This is the principal's office. Professor Umbridge, it would be too much for you to threaten the students in front of me, the principal!"

"Thank you, Principal." Marietta said gratefully.

"Dolores." Fudge glanced at Umbridge in disappointment, "If there is no other evidence, I will go back. As the Minister of Magic, I am still very busy."

"Wait, wait, minister." Umbridge seemed to have thought of something and said hurriedly, "There is one more piece of evidence that you can definitely use."

"Then take it out, don't waste everyone's time."

Umbridge turned to look at Aaron and showed a flattering smile, "Mr. Gaius, you have a list in your hand, right?"

"this..."

"Don't deny it." There was a hint of urgency in Umbridge's tone, "Widdershin told me that all the students who attended the party at the Hog's Head Bar signed their names."

"That's what happened, but that was before the education order was issued."

"Where's the list?"

"This is really a joke. The education order clearly stipulates that parties are not allowed. Do you think the list is still useful?" Aaron sneered, "What's more, Marietta also signed it at the time. Wouldn't it be better if you just asked her directly."

"Nonsense, there is still a big difference between their autographs and what Marietta told me."

Aaron smiled and said nothing. You all understand this, so why do you naively think that I will give you the list?

Umbridge realized it later, but now she was in a difficult position, "Dumbledore, as the senior investigating officer, I think I have the right to view that list."

"Mr. Gaius." Dumbledore sighed silently, "Give me the honor and give her the list!"

"Professor Dumbledore, I will definitely honor you." Aaron grinned, and then looked at Fudge, "Mr. Minister, I hope you can make a promise that the people on the list have never attended the party. I They don’t want anyone to trouble them afterwards.”

Fudge was a little confused, but when he saw Umbridge winking at him, he still nodded, "I promise."

Aaron breathed a sigh of relief and took out the list.

Umbridge couldn't wait to unfold the parchment. She didn't look at the names, but focused on the two letters 'D.A.' in the middle of the first line.

"Mr. Gaius." The corner of her mouth curled up behind her ears, "Can you explain what D.A. means?"

"Defenses Association."

"No, this is Dumbledore's Army." Umbridge smiled, "Miss Acmore told me that Dumbledore's Army is the real name.

Connelly, I think you know what I mean, Dumbledore was trying to raise an army to vie for power in the Ministry.

Although he didn't succeed, he did have this intention. "

Fudge's eyes brightened slightly, and the corner of his mouth raised a curve, "Dumbledore, it seems that you are really conspiring against the Ministry of Magic."

Dumbledore was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a smile, "You can see this. I am indeed very dissatisfied with the current situation of the Ministry of Magic, but I haven't had time to act yet!"

"It will be too late when you take action." Fudge sneered, "I have the right to arrest you now."
