[HP] Born Noble

Slytherin Code of Conduct 65: Wisdom may belong to the few, but power definitely comes from the many Before going to bed, I hung the socks on the head of the bed, and then threw sixteen Sickles into them. The next morning, the pile of silver Sickles turned into a school-truancy candy gift bag.

Within two weeks, serious consequences finally appeared. In the class of Defense Against the Dark Arts, many people had severe symptoms such as vomiting, coma, fever or nosebleeds. At first, only a small number of people, later this kind of The trend is getting bigger and bigger. Once class is held, there are basically few intact students in the class. A certain senior investigator is so overwhelmed that he can't even maintain the basic class, let alone have the time to investigate other people's class status.

At this point in the process, Draco took the double-sided mirror and called Sirius on the other side, "Hey, Sirius, what's up with that newspaper ad page?"

Sirius looked very helpless in the mirror. He was racking his brains to make up a love letter at this moment, "I said, young master of the Malfoy family, what are you going to do? The cost of advertising on half of the front page of the Daily Prophet is not low. How much do you want?" Asking for a pack is a month-I'm not worried about the cost, your father will have to pay half of it anyway-but I'm really at a loss for words, even if my feelings for Remus can stand the test of time, my face can't stand it either , It's not the age of sixteen or seventeen-year-old lovers, look at the old couple who publish love poems in the newspaper every day to express their heart..." Sirius vomited bitterly on the other side of the double-sided mirror.

What's even more frightening is that Sirius doesn't even know what women are thinking nowadays. He used half of the front page of the newspaper to publicly express his love for his partner until his death, and yet he could still become a man because of it. Got those courtship letters the other day—what a mystery!Also, he felt that there was something wrong with Remus' expression recently!

Draco couldn't help laughing, he read the sweet words in the newspaper every day, the former Hogwarts lover Blake was simply a genius in this respect!Alright, let's get down to business, Draco cleared his throat, "Then about the contract, have you settled it?"

"It's settled, a month is a month, and there will be no less day! One-half of the front page is one-half of the front page, and one inch less is also a breach of contract! Please rest assured, young master." It was drawn up by the most professional and seasoned commercial lawyers.

"That's good! Sirius, starting tomorrow, you don't have to write love letters. Let me tell you one thing, you can find a way to polish it!" Draco's smile at the moment was particularly sinister.

Because the current Daily Prophet is completely controlled by the Fudge government, of course they will not allow any negative news about the government to come out, so they will have less tongues to speak, so Draco asked Sirius to come forward and bought the head Half the page of the edition is used for advertising purposes-the newspaper depends on the advertising money to make a living, and it will never refuse such a business delivered to the door-and besides, the lawyer representing the Black family said that this is 'the brave and loyal Mr. Black' To celebrate the third anniversary of my marriage with my partner, I specially bought the eye-catching advertisement position on the front page, as a confession!

For newspapers, this is really a good thing, making money and catching people's attention!

But Mr. Black has only one request, no matter what big news you have in the next month, you will give in to his half-page manifesto. The price is that the cost is very high, but once the deal is completed, the half-page will be entirely controlled by Sirius himself. Similarly, if one party of the newspaper company breaches the contract, the liquidated damages must be an astronomical figure.

Thus, a certain director appointed by Minister Fudge to take over the Daily Prophet walked into the trap step by step.

Sirius bought half of the front page, and the incident of confessing his love for several days has attracted great attention. Now many people—especially women—are looking forward to seeing Sirius Black openly sweet talk to his partner, because of the kind of jealousy and envy The sweet and dreamlike feeling of love can't come, and I have to admit that after all, I am the proud son of a noble and ancient family. The words he said are extremely high-level, really beautiful and beautiful, sincere and touching.

But today, Mr. Black's tone was full of worry and sincerity.

[I'm sorry, Moony, but I had to interrupt the plan by an unexpected event, but you understand how important Harry is to us, so important that his happiness and well-being surpass yours and mine, he It is our child, after his parents passed away, after you and I had to leave him for a full ten years, we love him, care about him, and swear to protect him well, so today's is full of my warm wishes to you And the pages of love, I want to leave Harry with peace and encouragement.

Harry was at school, worried, distressed, and panic-stricken.

He told me that the school was being disturbed by an inexplicable illness. Many students had symptoms of bleeding, fever, vomiting and even fainting to varying degrees, but the cause could not be found.He suspected it was some kind of disease, but he also suspected it was poisoning, or worse, a curse, an unusual signal... He was worried about it, and was deeply confused.

He is working hard to find the reason with his classmates and professors.

I only hope that my blessing here will keep him from sickness and worry;

I hope he is safe, and that he and all the Hogwarts children are safe.

Harry, my darling, Sirius will always stand behind you. ]

As soon as such a newspaper was published, the breakfast hall of Hogwarts was almost flooded with inquiry letters from anxious parents the next day.

The Gryffindor Bludgers laughed together, "There's nothing to investigate here, it's all because of the fuss in Defense Against the Dark Arts class!"

As soon as such words come out, the consequence is that the benevolent see benevolence, and the wise see wisdom.

Half of the little Slytherin viper smiled meaningfully at the fantasy duo, Blaise's eyebrows fluttered up and down, "Can't find the reason, huh?"

Her Royal Highness Princess Ravenclaw put down the newspaper and said bluntly, "It's time to check it out, the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom is almost becoming the epicenter of the epidemic!"

Hufflepuffs - Badgers are honest, honest kids, let's just say it!

Anyway, although Sirius didn't mention a word, at the end of the day, at least a considerable number of parents began to be vigilant about Defense Against the Dark Arts class.

Then two days later, Mr. Black reversed the previous gentle and warm words of love, and asked sharply and angrily what the Ministry of Magic meant by forcing a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts into Hogwarts.

[I can't believe it, Harry told me the results of their investigation, you can't imagine how a parent feels when he hears such news-almost all the children's symptoms are encountered in Defense Against the Dark Arts class Arrived!

Black Magic · Defense · Lesson!

Umbridge, what have you done to our children, you ugly toad?Are you teaching them defense, or have you cast a black magic curse on them?Why do they get hurt so much in your class?Your Ministry of Magic is in a mess, and you are still reaching out to Hogwarts and our children. Do you have any ulterior motives? ] After the Ministry of Magic finally calmed down a bit, the Minister of Magic will start to worry again.

"I'm sorry Mr Minister, if the advertisement is to be withdrawn, we will face high damages - yes, after a full analysis by the legal team - no, trust me, you will never want to know the exact amount - well, If you really want to know, the most likely outcome is that the newspaper will be completely owned by a few large families - yes, they will hold a decisive stake - yes, the Blacks, and maybe the Malfoys."

"This is a trap!" Fudge angrily pounded on the table in the office!

It was a trap, but by the time he realized it, it was too late.

This month, after this incident was revealed, Sirius used the confession page to commemorate the third wedding anniversary, and later turned into a battleground for angry parents to criticize the Ministry of Magic's rubbish education order--'Justice and Loyalty' Mr. Black said that he could feel everyone's tension and concern about the same thing, and he could feel the tension and anxiety of being a parent, because he was one of them. do something safe.

And Mr. Black’s partner, Mr. Moony, also publicly stated in that half of the page that as a former Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, he can do something to protect his former students and protect all Hogwarts children from harm. A little effort is the best third wedding anniversary gift Sirius gave him.

This matter has come to such an extent, if the page contract contracted by Mr. Black is over, the Ministry of Magic will have been disgraced, so to solve the trouble, it is impossible to fight with angry parents in the newspaper, but to solve the problem. Source, why do these children faint, vomit, and have high fever in Defense Against the Dark Arts class?

There must be a reason!

Fudge resisted the pressure of public opinion and ordered Umbridge to get to the bottom of this matter in a short time!Only by figuring out the source of the accident can a ray of hope be found amidst the anger of the parents and the situation can be completely restored.

So, what Pansy had feared had inevitably happened.

So, the twins and Harry Potter were called into her office by the Senior Inquisitor.

WPW - Who in the school doesn't know that bright 'Weasley Potter Brothers' logo stamp is shining on the ad?Although Umbridge is a newcomer, it is not difficult to find out the meaning and origin of this thing. There are more than 1000 teachers and students in Hogwarts, it is impossible to be monolithic.

As soon as Harry and the others entered the office, they saw the advertisement they had posted on the bulletin board in Umbridge's hand. There was also a set of fireworks boxes produced by WPW on her desk, with the big WPW logo on it.

"These, these things were made by you, right?" This time Umbridge's voice was no longer as sweet as a girl's, but had a piercing sharpness instead.

Fred glanced at the fireworks box on the table and smiled, "Professor, thank you for valuing our gadgets so much."

George, "Professor we'll give you [-]% off everything if you buy direct from us."

Harry, "Professor, can you give us some suggestions for improvement?"

"Very good, very good, you admit it!" Umbridge's face was black and blue, and his expression couldn't be said to be excited or angry, but the stubby and fat fingers pointing at Harry's nose kept trembling, "You finally admitted You admit that you are responsible for everything in class, good, good! You will pay for it, you will be expelled from school!"

"Fired?"

"why?"

"Why?"

"Disrupt the classroom, create chaos, poison the students, create public opinion...every bit, every bit!" Umbridge's crazy eyes almost jumped out of that face full of hatred and pleasure, "...everything Enough to send you to Azkaban!"

"Wait, professor, what are you talking about?" Harry said innocently, "Is there a problem with the quality of the fireworks box?"

"Don't put on an innocent face!" Umbridge screamed on tiptoe, causing the cats on the hanging plates all over the wall to hide, "We all know that what happened in Defense Against the Dark Arts class was all about you Playing tricks behind your back..."

"Hey! Who's playing tricks?"

"What have we to do with this?"

"Professor, you are shirking responsibility!" Harry retorted loudly, "It is obvious that you took the spice containing cress agarwood by mistake, causing a large area of ​​poisoning and allergic reactions among the students in the school!"

"What... what cress?" Umbridge's throat seemed to be stuck.

"What the newspaper said was Mr. Belby's academic speculation. His uncle is the inventor of Wolfsbane potion and a first-class potion master." Harry looked complacent. "His speculation is well-founded, and some parents suggested Quarantine you completely."

"Slander, outright slander, defamation of the professor, confinement, Mr. Potter!" Umbridge thumped the table angrily.

Harry shrugged and didn't care at all, "It's not me who said it, it was written in the newspaper, you have no reason to be locked up for it. And even if locked up, I personally don't care, but if I fainted from an allergic reaction in your office or Fever and vomiting, Sirius, what will my godfather say, what will the papers say?"

Finally, for the first time, Umbridge's face went beyond the pink sweater she was wearing and swelled like a pig's liver.In the end, Professor Umbridge dragged them to the principal's office, and at the same time called the principals of the Snake Academy and the Lion Academy. She thought that she had completely caught the culprit of the student poisoning incident!

"Why do you say it's us?"

"It's completely inexplicable!"

"Completely baseless accusation!"

Harry and the twins complained together, making the headmaster's office look like a fair.

"Okay, okay, let's solve it one by one." The white-bearded principal's half-moon glasses were full of encouragement and comfort, and he clapped his hands, "Dolores, why do you say that the children's large-scale fever and vomiting are caused by Harry and the two children?" Mr. Weasley's responsibility?"

Umbridge swept away the depression just now, and took out a bag of quick-acting class skipping sugar gift packs from his pocket, with the thrill of victory and the pride after showing his hole card "The person who gave me the clue just saw this promotional video After the ad, followed the directions above and eventually found these candies in the stockings, he told me it was the candies that caused the student's massive fever and fainting! Look at the firework box and the heraldic markings on this little ad, they are both Same, Mr. Weasley and Mr. Potter just admitted it!"

"Hey!" George was dissatisfied with Umbridge's nonsense, "Professor Umbridge just asked us if we made the fireworks box, and we admitted that it was the most successful joke item of the Weasley Potter brothers!"

Harry: "We had a big sale over the summer!"

Fred: "Very welcome!"

George: "Our pride!"

"I know that," the white-bearded headmaster nodded, "you burned one of my favorite wizard robes during the experiment, oh, I remember that Professor McGonagall punished you for cleaning and confinement— Generally speaking, I don’t mind such energetic little behaviors, but it is indeed a precious robe, the 150-year celebration product of Mrs. Malkin’s robe shop. Mrs. Malkin told me that the patterns on the oriental silk are actually An ancient oriental witchcraft that can pray for blessings..."

"Ahem—" It was Professor McGonagall who coughed this time.

The headmaster with the white beard looked at Umbridge, who had a pig's face because he was ignored just now, and spread his hands apologetically, "Oh, I'm sorry, Dolores, you continue to talk."

"This bag of candies," Umbridge held up the skipping candy gift bag, his face full of excitement of victory, "is the evidence, the evidence that someone messed up in Defense Against the Dark Arts class!"

"That has nothing to do with us!" the twins said in unison.

"Irrelevant?" Umbridge resumed his girlish falsetto, and smiled maliciously, "How do you explain this little ad? The whole school knows that the WPW logo is your joke product logo."

"You are so right!" Harry raised his chin, "The whole school knows it! More than 1000 students know this sign, why do you say that this notice is made by us? Is this coat of arms difficult to draw? You see It's time for us to post it?"

Bludger [-]: "Did you see what we did?"

Bludger [-]: "Did you see we sold it?"

Harry: "Did you see that we pinched our classmates and poured them down their throats? Or can that classmate prove that he bought it from us? Even if you are a professor, you don't have the right to accuse such a nasty crime innocently." Give it to us! I'm not afraid to take this matter to court with you!"

The twins and Harry's chorus of singing and chorus is so ridiculous!This is the perfect rhetoric that they and Draco have set up together, and it is enough to get rid of them completely. So after shouting, Harry took a moment to carefully glance at the face of his great snake king, it was not dark, and It seems that the corners of the mouth are bent - the heart has fallen.

But Umbridge's face completely began to turn from red to purple, from purple to black, as if someone had strangled his throat and couldn't breathe.

"I think this matter is very clear," the short-guarding Snake King slid over like a golden python in a soft tone, "The students in my college have proud self-esteem and a supreme sense of honor, which is recognized by the society. Yes, and it is recognized that Harry Potter will not do anything to harm his classmates. It is impossible for him to have the time and opportunity to rush into the classroom of Defense Against the Dark Arts class and teach students of every grade and school stuffed in their mouths."

His majesty the stern lion king also protected the calf, blocking the two little red-haired lions behind him, "Dolores, I think your perspective is wrong. If this kind of candy is really the culprit of the students' illness, you need to deal with it." Those who were responsible were also the students who swallowed the candy - there were people who used wands to kill, but it had nothing to do with the wand maker, did it?"

Suddenly a flash of inspiration came to Umbridge's mind, "Veritaserum, Severus, I'm asking you to provide Veritaserum—in your capacity as a senior Hogwarts investigator!" Like a straw, the pink old toad revived.

Harry froze, broken!

He hadn't thought of that!

Yep, totally forgot about Veritaserum!Of course he has heard of this stuff, but Veritaserum is a rather advanced and rare potion, and it's not everywhere on the street. Who would have thought of this?

Draco is so secretive, they all forgot about this possibility!

Harry was guilty, but he didn't dare to show any expression, so he could only secretly glance at the twins with the corner of his eyes, and saw that the two looked completely indifferent—he forgot, the two potion trolls couldn't count on it at all. !

The twins were careless, but Professor Snape had already heard clearly the tricks of the three of them in this matter, so Professor Snape's gaze became dangerous at this moment, although it was still a calm expression With a calm voice, it is obvious that the Snake King, who has always been protective of his weaknesses, has shown a state of full-scale attack, "Veritaserum is a sensitive and highly dangerous potion. I must explain, Professor Umbridge, that it is under the jurisdiction of the law." Why do you think I'd stockpile something like this at the first level of the country that strictly controls supplies?"

Umbridge: "..."

"Based on my personal professionalism and experience, Professor Umbridge, no more than [-] people in Europe, including the UK, can make a veritaserum that has no toxicity and no side effects, and the brewing process requires at least A full moon cycle. I would also like to remind that because the drug is obviously harmful and invasive, the law prohibits it from being used on minors." Professor Snape glanced at the red-haired twins, and added, "Even if you want to If it is used on an adult, an official report must be issued to the Wizengamot, including the St. Mungo's health assessment report of the user. The cycle usually ranges from six months to eighteen months. Also," the snake king looked at Turning to Toad, "If it turns out that they are innocent, can you take full legal responsibility for this, including intentional serious injury, coercion, and violation of personal speech and privacy rights to be imprisoned in Azkaban, Professor Umbridge?"

Umbridge: "You..."

"Please don't question my professional warning," the Snake King, who has all the excellent qualities of Slytherin, raised his eyebrows. Under the evaluation of the subcommittee, the official legal notice sent to every potion master who has the ability to brew this dangerous potion is the legal responsibility that potion pharmacists need to pay attention to and bear, and it comes from the unalterable highest legislative provisions of wizards."

Umbridge's face was black and blue, no better than an Inferi, but Harry was already staring at his great Dean Snape, and if it wasn't for this inopportune moment, he really wanted to jump It's so, so, so cool to go up and pay homage to their incomparably powerful Snake King!
