Mysterious Walker at Hogwarts

Christmas Eve, 08:30 pm.

A ruin near Hampstead Moor that has long been abandoned to Muggle eyes.

After a bang, Umbridge, wearing a pink woolen coat, appeared outside the ruins.

Umbridge first checked the magic spells arranged around her. After finding no trace of being touched, she sneaked into the ruins.

This place was originally a "haunted" haunted house. After the Muggles were scared away, it gradually became deserted. The Ministry of Magic expropriated the place through a series of complicated procedures.

The Ministry of Magic originally planned to build this place into a safe house for temporary communication. However, after Umbridge became the Senior Undersecretary, she stopped the plan on the pretext that it would cost a lot of money. However, she secretly used her authority to quietly run this place into a safe house. A secret base of hers engages in some "illegal" activities that are not convenient for others to know.

It was here that Umbridge coerced Mundungus into testifying against Dean.

Even though it was Christmas Eve tonight, Umbridge was in a terrible mood.

In the morning, I originally planned to use Dean's case to solve Snape's case. Even if he couldn't be thrown into Azkaban, at least he would be dismissed from his post at Hogwarts so that he could fight against the Ministry of Magic everywhere. A profound lesson for Dumbledore.

After making a private deal with Mundungus in exchange for the other party's testimony, Umbridge originally thought she was sure of victory, but she never expected that her success would fall short due to the emergence of Digory as a variable at the critical moment.

After Umbridge walked into the "Secret Base", she immediately activated the defense system here - it was a rather complex set of multiple three-dimensional spells. It was one of the latest research results of the Ministry of Magic, but Umbridge used The authority was used on his own private base in the name of testing.

After the defense system was activated, Umbridge felt that she was completely safe, and the fake smile that had been hanging on her face was suddenly replaced by a ferocious look.

"Amelia Bones, Amos Diggory... and Kingsley Shacklebolt, these people receive salaries from the Ministry of Magic, but their hearts are not necessarily completely towards the Ministry of Magic... The Ministry of Magic How many people like this are there?" After Umbridge entered, she didn't even have time to light the fireplace, and started pacing back and forth and talking to herself.

"Perhaps you should ask this question to yourselves. The Ministry of Magic has introduced many unreasonable bills, but you have never reflected on it." A voice that sounded ethereal suddenly sounded in the room, which frightened Umbridge. One jump.

"Who is it?" Umbridge shouted sharply.

"Fluorescence," the voice whispered.

A bright light lit up on the seat where Umbridge usually sat, revealing a clown face with a weird smile.

"Collapse!" Umbridge immediately waved her wand at the opponent without thinking, and a red light flew towards the clown.

The moment the red light came into contact with the clown, Umbridge thought she had seen it wrong. The clown's figure suddenly became dazed, as if it had turned into a human-shaped mist, and then the sleeping curse magically passed through the clown's body. It hit the wall behind him, creating a large deep crater.

"Expelliarmus!" After the clown's body re-solidified, he raised a weird-looking cane in his hand. Before Umbridge could react, the wand flew away from her hand, spinning into the clown's hand.

"Deputy Minister Umbridge, you are so abrupt. You don't even know whether you are an enemy or a friend, so you are so eager to attack?" The clown played with Umbridge's wand and chuckled.

"Who are you?" After losing her wand, Umbridge seemed to have lost the strength to support her standing, leaning weakly against the wall next to the door.

"Birch wood, the heart of the wand is a dragon's heartstring, the length is 8 inches - the flames are blazing!" The clown waved Umbridge's wand gently, and a wisp of flame flew from the wand into the nearby fireplace, and the entire room was suddenly ablaze. Lit up.

The clown's hand calmed Umbridge, and then she saw the clown's true face clearly: the clown's whole body was wrapped in a robe like black mist, and his figure could not be seen clearly in the haze, as if he appeared here. It's just a projection, like a ghost.

The Joker is, of course, Dean pretending to be.

The clown's mask and the mist of illusion, coupled with the Disguise Charm he just "learned" from Snape - Dean clicked it to the full level just to be on the safe side - made him even more comfortable pretending to be the Mysterious Walker.

Umbridge didn't even recognize that the mysterious guy in front of her was Dean, whom she had almost thrown into Azkaban that morning.

Dean deliberately did not dodge Umbridge's attack just now, but tried to enter the "fog state" the moment he was hit by the stun spell.

The results of the test made Dean very satisfied: not only was he not affected by the coma spell, but he received the spell from the front, thus activating the "coma spell" of the magic talent system.

It seems that this will be a good way to sell blood to cheat magic spells in the future.

The only regret is that although this method is clever, it consumes a lot of magic power and cannot be used frequently.

"Umbridge, I think you should know the name Mystic Walker." Dean said softly.

This was the purpose of his coming to the door.

Since he was able to obtain the potion formula from Umbridge that was made by the Mystery Walker, it means that Umbridge must know about the Mystery Walker. What Dean wants to know is whether there are other mysterious fragments in Umbridge's hands.

Dean has not forgotten the prophetic vision about Knightley being an Obscurus that appeared inexplicably last night. He has an intuition that perhaps the mysterious walker with great supernatural powers has a way to solve the problem of the Obscurus.

Therefore, for the safety of his little sister, he must obtain the complete secret inheritance as soon as possible.

"Mysterious Walker? How do you know?" Umbridge's expression changed drastically, confirming Dean's guess.

"What do you think?" Dean smiled slyly.

"Could it be that you are the Mystery Walker?" Umbridge screamed, "This is impossible! The Mystery Walker has been missing for a long time."

"How long is long?" Dean asked immediately.

"Nearly 100 years!" Umbridge blurted out.

Dean did not doubt Umbridge's words at all, because when Umbridge first entered the door, Dean repeated his old trick and mixed some Veritaserum into the mist and let Umbridge inhale it.

Dean originally prepared several tricks to make Umbridge submit, but unfortunately Umbridge was too careless and did not light the fireplace immediately after entering the door, giving Dean an opportunity to take advantage of - in the dark. , Umbridge was completely unable to detect the existence of the fog mixed with Veritaserum.

"You just said that the Mysterious Walker is just missing, not dead." Dean said bluffingly, "When he thinks he needs to appear, he will naturally reappear - like now!"
