Magical Studies at Hogwarts

As if to vent, Snape's teachings this time were more stringent than before, and the power of Legilimency was much greater. When he was finally allowed to leave, his mind was in unprecedented confusion and he was stunned. After sitting on the sofa for a long time, the pain stopped.

This was a really bad time for Harry.As the OWLs exam approaches, all fifth grade students are under unprecedented pressure, and some even break down in class.Compared to others, Harry had to endure Umbridge's intense attention and Snape's special teachings.

To be honest, if it hadn't been for DA, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been able to survive.

The progress of DA is still very gratifying. They have the gold coins that Hermione has cast. They have always been safe and practiced very carefully. They have now begun to practice the Patronus Charm, and some have even been able to successfully summon their own. The patron saint.By the last class before Easter, everyone except Neville had basically succeeded.

"You have to think about happy things." Harry reminded as he looked at the Patronus on the tip of Neville's staff.

"I was just thinking about it." Neville was a little annoyed. His head was covered with sweat and veins were popping out, but the silver light on the tip of the staff just couldn't take shape.

Harry shrugged and said nothing more. Neville had already worked hard enough. All he needed was an opportunity, a very trivial one.

Walking in the Room of Requirement, the sky is full of patron saints summoned by everyone.Fred and George's were magpies. They perfectly inherited their owners' personalities, flying non-stop in the air and being very lively.

Seamus's is a fox, Luna's is a hare, and Ron's is a beagle, very cute.Stuart, Terry, Anthony and Michael are foxes, Scottish shepherds, Dalmatians and German shepherds respectively. Except for Stuart who is more lively, the others all stay beside their owners.

This scene made Harry very happy. He felt that his efforts had been very well rewarded, and he kept saying words of encouragement, which attracted a lot of praise from everyone.

Suddenly, the door opened and quickly closed, and Harry looked back but saw nothing.Before he took two steps, he noticed that everyone had stopped practicing, and his pants seemed to be being pulled wildly by something.When he looked down, it was Dobby.

"Hey Dobby, what's up?" Harry asked.

Dobby's eyes were wide open and his whole body was shaking. All attention was on him.

"Mr. Harry Potter, Dobby has a message for you..." Dobby said sharply, "But the house elves have been warned, by a terrible..."

"What's wrong? What happened?" Sensing that the atmosphere was not right, Harry quickly grabbed Dobby's arms and asked, in order to prevent him from hurting himself.

"She...she..." Dobby was incoherent and just kept repeating the word "she", which made Harry very anxious.Hermione on the side was thoughtful and suddenly said: "Umbridge? Is it her? She discovered us and is coming?"

Everyone was stunned when they saw Dobby's momentum that seemed to be about to knock his head off.This time Harry reacted very quickly and shouted before Hermione could say anything: "Run!"

The door was opened, and everyone ran out in a swarm, fleeing in all directions.Some ran to the dormitory, and some went to the library, toilet, and classroom. They were already panicking and just wanted to escape Umbridge's capture.

Harry's goal was the men's room, which he remembered was not far ahead.He ran very fast, but suddenly something seemed to trip his feet, and he fell down and slid forward on the ground for a long time.Then, he heard a very familiar voice.

"Hahaha, Potter, leg tripping curse!" Malfoy said, "Professor, I caught it!"

Harry's arms were covered with scratches. He endured the pain and rolled over, and at a glance he saw Umbridge's face full of disgusting smiles.

"Great! Well done, Draco, fifty points for Slytherin!" Umbridge pulled Harry's arm fiercely and pulled him up from the ground, "Keep going and see if you can Can't catch a few more, Draco!" Umbridge was very happy, "Look in the library, classrooms, and auditoriums, and look for those who are out of breath!"

She pushed Harry roughly and reached the principal's office in a few minutes.After saying the password, the stone monster stepped out of the way and went up the spiral staircase, and they walked directly into the office.

It was packed with people, and Dumbledore sat behind the table with a calm expression.Professor McGonagall stood nearby, but her face was full of worry.There was also Secretary Fudge, who was sitting in his chair and shaking excitedly, obviously very satisfied.Harry also saw Percy, who was standing next to Fudge with a quill and a thick roll of parchment, ready to take notes.

"He was on his way back to the Gryffindor common room when that Malfoy kid cornered him," Umbridge said in her high-pitched voice.

"Really, really?" Fudge was very excited and kept rubbing his hands. "Potter, I think you know why you are here..."

Harry wanted to answer "I know" directly, but when he saw Dumbledore behind the table, he shook his head slightly and changed his words: "I don't know."

"I don't know?" Fudge glanced at Umbridge in confusion, then looked at Dumbledore who was there, and then asked, "You really don't know why Professor Umbridge kept you here. ?Don’t you know that you have violated school rules?”

"no!"

"Where is the decree from the Ministry of Magic?"

"nor."

Fudge's face became visibly ugly. He sat up straight, stared at Harry and said, "So, you are saying that you don't know that there is an illegal student organization in this school?"

"Yes. Why, there is an illegal student organization?" Harry looked in disbelief, as if it was the first time he heard about this.

"Minister, I think bringing the whistleblower will make this go more smoothly." Umbridge said with a smile.

"Informer? Okay, okay, bring her here." Fudge agreed, and Umbridge immediately left the office and pulled someone in after a while.Harry recognized it at a glance. It was Marietta, a sixth-year Ravenclaw introduced by Stuart and the others. She was wearing a big cloak, her hands were hidden in the sleeves, and she was covering her face.

"Don't be afraid, dear." Umbridge patted her back gently and said to Fudge, "Minister, she is the daughter of Mrs. Acmore, administrator of the Floo Network of the Department of Magical Transportation."

"Great!" Fudge said enthusiastically, "Come on, tell us about that illegal student organization... Don't be shy, raise your head... Oh my God! Merlin is on top!"

Marietta kept covering her face, no matter what Fudge said, which made Umbridge a little impatient.She roughly dropped Marietta's hand, but everyone was frightened when they saw that face. Harry even took a few steps back. It was Professor McGonagall who held him up from behind so he didn't fall. .

What a face that is!Marietta's face was covered with pimples the size of fingernails. They were getting bigger and bigger, and some had even turned a weird purple color.Lines of "traitor" moved rhythmically across the face, as well as her arms and hands.

She screamed, then spit out a mouthful of blood, and a few teeth fell to the ground among the blood.Although Marietta quickly hid herself in the cloak, everyone saw that her hair fell out in handfuls, and curved hair grew on her face and neck.

Those hairs seemed to be very hard, and she was pricked as soon as she covered them with her hand. Blood was left drop by drop, and soon the cloak was dyed red in a large area.

"Oh my God, what is this!" Fudge was really frightened. He shouted loudly, "Who did this? Who did this?"

"Hermione!" Marietta's miserable voice sounded. She didn't know what happened again, and her blood flowed even more.

Suddenly, she stopped hiding it and revealed all the tragedy.

She stared directly at Harry, her eyes full of hatred.
