A Magical Journey Starting at Hogwarts

Chapter 492: Run out of truth serum? We can't beat him

boom! boom! boom!

There was a knock on the door, and a voice came from outside the door, "Professor, are you there?"

"Come in."

Graham Montague walked in. He nodded to Aaron first, and then looked at Professor Snape, "Professor, Professor Umbridge, please come over."

"What's the matter?" Aaron asked.

"Our investigation team caught several students who violated disciplines and tried to sneak into Umbridge's office." Montague said proudly, "Five Gryffindors and one Ravenclaw."

"Oh!" Aaron raised his eyebrows, "Harry, Ron, Ginny, Hermione, Luna, who is the sixth one?"

"Longbottom." Montague said, "Wait, Gaius, how did you know who they were?"

"When they were discussing going to Umbridge's office, I happened to be there.

I warned them, but Harry Potter has his way and nothing can stop him. "

"It seems that they are eyeing the floo network in Umbridge's office." Snape sneered. "I have to say, they are quite quick-witted."

"It's a pity that it failed." Aaron was also speechless. He silently mourned for them for three seconds in his heart. There would be no good fruits in Umbridge's hands.

"Let's go! Go see what our principal is going to do." Professor Snape slowly stood up and walked to the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor's office on the third floor, with Aaron and Montague following behind him.

...

"Are you looking for Dumbledore?"

"no."

"lie!"

When they arrived, they arrived just in time to catch Umbridge interrogating Harry Potter.

It can be seen from the shallow slap mark on Harry's face that Umbridge's interrogation methods are not very friendly.

After Aaron came in, he glanced at Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Luna and Neville who were being held by the investigation team, and couldn't help but smacked his lips.

Good guy! Even if the whole army is wiped out, buy five and get one free.

"You have something to do with me, Headmaster?" Snape asked calmly.

"Snape, yes." Umbridge grinned, "Now it's time for him to answer me truthfully, whether he wants to say it or not.

I need a bottle of truth serum, and the sooner the better. "

"You used all my reserves to interrogate students." Professor Snape looked at her speechlessly. He really didn't expect that Umbridge had the nerve to ask him for it.

Logically speaking, adding one drop to the water would be enough to interrogate a person, but Umbridge had obviously used up all the veritaserum. This efficiency would have put the jailers to shame even in Azkaban.

Umbridge blushed slightly, "Can you make some more?"

puff!

Aaron couldn't help laughing, "Professor, are you kidding?

Configuring the truth serum requires a lot of time, and it takes about a month. "

"A month?" Umbridge obviously couldn't accept it and said loudly: "But I need to use it tonight. I found that Potter was using my fire to talk to people just now."

"Potter has always failed to abide by school rules and regulations.

Principal, if you don't fire him today, you'll have to get used to this in the future. "

"I want to interrogate him." Umbridge said bluntly. "Give me a potion that will make him tell the truth."

"But I really have no inventory." Professor Snape said calmly, "Unless you want Potter to be poisoned, in which case I wholeheartedly support it, otherwise I really can't help you."

"You deliberately refused to help!" Umbridge instantly changed her face to an angry one, "You let me down so much, don't forget that you are still in the probation period."

"Professor, I'm sorry to interrupt.

Professor Snape is a well-known master of potions. Even after leaving Hogwarts, he can thrive.

In other words, the probation period is not threatening to him at all. "

"Shut up, Gaius, you have no place to speak here."

"Alas!" Professor Snape sighed, shook his head, and gloated: "I hate to say this, but Gaius may be the only person in Hogwarts who has Veritaserum."

"What?" Umbridge blushed slightly and looked at Aaron flatteringly, "Do you have Veritaserum?"

"Headmaster, have you been specially trained in the face-changing technique?" Aaron complained speechlessly, "Professor Snape asked me to do him a favor before, and the Veritaserum is only a small part of the reward."

"That's great, take it out quickly."

"Why should I take it out?"

"I'm the principal."

"Even if you are the principal, you don't have the right to expropriate students' private property!" Aaron said confidently, "Wouldn't it be bad if this spread out?"

Umbridge's face turned blue and purple, and she was silent for a few seconds before pointing to the door, "Get out, you two, leave my office."

"Okay, Headmaster, let's go now." Professor Snape said sarcastically.

"Padfoot." Harry suddenly looked at Aaron, "Have you told him about Padfoot?"

"Of course, you can rest assured." Aaron spread his hands, "I am different from the crazy Gryffindor. I will choose the best solution and the safest one.

As for the difference... Compare it to your current situation and you'll know I'm right. "

"Padfoot? What Padfoot?" Umbridge felt that she had grasped the point, "What is he talking about?"

"I don't know." Professor Snape pursed his lips and slowly retreated outside the office.

Just as Aaron was about to leave, Umbridge quickly blocked the door, "You can't leave."

"Headmaster." Professor Snape's eyes were cold, "I don't remember any of my students violating school rules and disciplines. Even if they did, it would be up to me, the dean, to decide the punishment!"

Umbridge was startled by Snape in this state, and her tone couldn't help but weaken a little, "Don't be nervous Snape, I just have some questions to ask him."

Snape raised his eyebrows disdainfully and put one hand on the end of the wand.

It's not like he doesn't know who Umbridge is. She's not very capable, but she's very ambitious, and she'll do whatever it takes to achieve her goals.

Put Aaron here, what if something happens?

"Professor, go and do your work first!" Aaron said confidently, "You should know my strength."

After hearing this, Snape remembered that Umbridge might not be able to beat him, so he immediately put away his wand and left without looking back.

Snapped!

Umbridge quickly closed the door and pulled Aaron to sit on a chair.

"Say, who is Padfoot?"

"Well..." Aaron pretended to be thoughtful, "Professor, you have to think about it from another angle. Which normal person's name is Padfoot?"

"Not a human?" Umbridge asked suspiciously, "What is that?"

"how could I know?"

"No, you lied to me. You must be lying to me. You just said you told him about Padfoot." Umbridge raised her hand angrily and slapped Aaron on the face.

Snapped!

Umbridge's right wrist was caught in mid-air by Aaron.

"Professor, I have to say that you are quite strong."

Umbridge gritted her teeth and tried to pull her fat hand out, but no matter how hard she tried, her right hand seemed to be tightly clamped by steel and she couldn't break free at all.

"Let go, I command you to let go."

Aaron smiled contemptuously, I will let you go if you ask me to. Wouldn't that be very shameless?

Umbridge immediately pulled out the wand with her left hand, "Strong..."

However, she was only halfway through her spell when Aaron increased his strength.

Umbridge couldn't help but cry out in pain, and an unhealthy purple-red color appeared on her right hand. She also bent over in pain, as if this would make her feel better.

"Professor, there is a price to pay for attacking me.

I am different from others, I will fight back, no matter who you are. "

"I know, it was my fault just now, can you let go of your hand?" Umbridge begged humbly.

Everyone else's eyes widened in astonishment when they saw this scene. Umbridge taught them a vivid lesson about bullying the weak and fearing the strong.

"Tch!" Aaron let go of his left hand in disgust, "You must be wise, otherwise I will crush your bones into pieces."

Umbridge glanced at him in horror, took a few steps back and carefully rubbed her right hand. When it no longer hurt so much, she pointed the wand at Aaron again.

"What? Do you want to do it?" Aaron asked, "Then I have to think about what magic to use."

"Stop bluffing. Do you think I will give you a chance to use the wand?" Umbridge took a deep breath. This time she distanced herself and firmly grasped the initiative. It was absolutely impossible to seize the opportunity. Capsized.

After catching Aaron, she can take revenge. As long as she can torture out the information related to Padfoot, it will be a merit but not a fault. Even Fudge can't say anything to her.

"Quick confinement."

A rope shot out of the wand and headed straight for Aaron.

However, the next moment a red light hit the rapidly extending rope, and it instantly broke into powder and dissipated in mid-air.

Umbridge looked at Aaron's spell-casting fingers and swallowed involuntarily.

"The biggest advantage of wandless casting is that it can make your enemies relax their vigilance." Aaron said meaningfully, "Professor, do you want to have a fair duel with me?"

"A fair duel?" Umbridge seemed to have heard a funny joke, "This office is full of my people."

"I almost forgot, when you attacked Professor McGonagall last night, you also bullied the smaller ones when there were more people."

"It's good to know." Umbridge calmed down, but was not ashamed.

Although her methods were a little despicable last night, the effect was good. She eliminated her biggest competitor and drove away Dumbledore's diehard loyalists.

"Mr. Gaius, I don't want to embarrass you.

Just tell me who Padfoot is, what's his connection to Dumbledore, and where are they?

Then what happened just now was all a misunderstanding, and I can forget about it. "

"Haha!" Aaron rolled his eyes speechlessly, "It seems you have always been the one causing trouble. I'm being generous by not pursuing you."

"I am doing this for the sake of school discipline, and it also involves the security of the Ministry of Magic." Umbridge said confidently, "Harry contacts certain people through my Floo network, probably Dumbledore, and I am not allowed to do so." Not investigating seriously.”

"Not Dumbledore," Harry said immediately.

"Then tell me who you are talking to?" Umbridge asked.

Harry was speechless. Although he had not spoken to Dumbledore just now, the existence of the Order of the Phoenix must not be exposed.

"Can't you tell me?" Umbridge glared at Harry, then turned her attention to Aaron, "You clearly know about Padfoot, but you still insist on pretending to be confused with me.

At the very least, this is disrespecting the principal and encouraging other students to violate discipline. At the most serious level, this is not cooperating with the Ministry of Magic's actions. "

Aaron did not refute. In a sense, Umbridge was right.

"I'll give you another chance, are you worthy of your cooperation?"

"boring."

"What are you doing standing still?" Umbridge shouted loudly, "Stop him!"

However, several students in the investigation team looked at each other, but no one had the intention to take action.

"You?" Umbridge looked at her subordinates in astonishment, her eyes full of disbelief, "Are you deaf?"

"It's a bit insulting to say that." Aaron said, "Professor, you should be more fair when selecting people, but the investigation team is actually all Slytherins.

Maybe you think Slytherin will help you suppress the other three houses, which is not wrong, but unfortunately I happen to be the prefect of Slytherin. "

"I am the Headmaster, Headmaster." Umbridge stamped her foot angrily, "I am the biggest in Hogwarts now, you should listen to me."

"That's what I said, but..." Montague said intermittently, facing Umbridge's questioning gaze: "But we can't beat him."

"He really can't beat him." Millicent added with an unnatural look, "Principal, it's not that we don't listen to you, we are no match for him together."

Umbridge: ...

Aaron spread his hands and said with a smile: "Although I was selected as a prefect by the previous principal, I gained the respect of Slytherin based on my own strength.

After all, the strength is not up to standard, and the unruly snake courtyard cannot be managed well, right? "

The corner of Umbridge's mouth twitched slightly, and the raised wand was gradually lowered.

She forced an awkward but polite smile, "Aaron, I was impulsive this time, you can leave now."

"What about them?" Aaron pointed at Harry and others.

"This is not okay." Umbridge shook her head firmly and refused, "They have truly violated school rules and disciplines. As a principal, I can't turn a blind eye!"

Aaron frowned slightly, "Then what are you going to do with them?"

"It's easy for everyone else to say that confinement is enough, but I don't have any better solution for Harry Potter." Umbridge pretended to be difficult, "There is no truth serum, and he is unwilling to cooperate well. I You have to find some other way to get him to talk!"

"for example?"

"What about the Cruciatus Curse?"

"No, this is illegal." Hermione said in panic. "The Minister will not allow you to break the law, Professor Umbridge."

"As long as Connelly doesn't know, it won't be any hindrance to him." Umbridge took a deep breath, her breathing a little hurried, as if making this decision was difficult for her.

"Aren't you worried about us telling Secretary Fudge?"

"As long as the interrogation yields valuable information, who cares if I use a little trick!

Just like last summer when I ordered the dementors to pursue Potter, Connelly didn't know it, but he was still happy to have the opportunity to expel Potter. "
