Della Bush's Love Story

"With me, no one can force my students," said Dumbledore.

Today's principal's office is crowded with many people.Della had never seen so many "grown-ups" here.

A tall man, dressed like X-Sports, and he's leading five or six people, all dressed alike, talking to Dumbledore.

Kingsley said, "Yes, Headmaster Dumbledore."

Umbridge probably hadn't changed in her clothes, the same suit she'd been wearing in the hospital wing overnight, and she still had a big bruised lump on her head—bigger than she'd imagined.

"You need to conduct an investigation! You need to interrogate her! Find out who ordered it!" Umbridge stared sinisterly at Della who just came in behind Professor McGonagall.

Professor McGonagall: "Miss Umbridge, I have explained to you that this was an accident. There was no conspiracy from beginning to end." She said contemptuously, "You have worked in the Ministry of Magic for many years and have been safe and sound. and the students and professors in Hogwarts have only been with you for less than a month, so I don't think there will be too much unpleasantness."

Umbridge reacted very quickly, and she immediately understood what Professor McGonagall was sarcastic, which made her look even uglier.

Della went back and forth in her mind several times before she vaguely understood the meaning of Professor McGonagall's words.

——I didn't expect Professor McGonagall to be so good at sarcasm.

It's just a little cryptic.

Kingsley said: "It's my duty, I must ask this young lady a few words."

He didn't say it directly to Della, but to Dumbledore.He is waiting for his permission.

Dumbledore nodded before he turned to Della and asked, "Miss Bush, do you know that last Sunday, a spell you fired in the corridor of the West Wing of Hogwarts hit the Ministry of Magic Senior Inquisitor Umm Miss Rich?" Everyone in the room looked at her.Principal Dumbledore was very calm, and Professor McGonagall was also very calm. She just said "Honestly, Miss Bush" again.

Della reflexively said, "I don't know, sir."

Umbridge screamed, "She's lying! I'm throwing you into Azkaban! You've made a big mistake!"

Dumbledore exclaimed, "I will not allow anyone in my school to threaten my students!"

Umbridge was still screaming, as if trying to drown out Dumbledore's voice, "Use Legilimency! Give her Veritaserum! She's not going to keep one of her little secrets from her!!"

Dumbledore stood up: "In my school, no one can do this to my students." His majestic gaze swept across Umbridge and Kingsley, who were not looking at him.

Kingsley said: "Of course, Mr. Principal. I will strictly follow the rules. Miss Umbridge, it is the minister's intention that I let you stay here. If you continue to disturb my inquiry, I will report to the minister." .This case is completely vexatious in my opinion, wasting a lot of energy and time of us Aurors."

Umbridge held her head high and said sternly, "Aurors should keep everyone in the Ministry! I'm the High Inquisitor!" she cried.

Kingsley: "But we can't investigate why every employee has a big bump on his head."

Dumbledore sat down and said to Kingsley, "Please continue to ask."

Kingsley: "Thank you very much, Mr. Headmaster. Then, Miss Bush, please go ahead, do you really not know that your spell hit Miss Umbridge?" Della shook her head firmly, "I don't know .I mean, I didn't know it at the time. But I found out today when Professor McGonagall found me, and I accidentally shot Miss Umbridge. It was a complete accident."

Kingsley: "Do you remember what spell you were using?" Della: "I was practicing disarm, because I heard from my classmates that we would learn this spell in the next class, so I practiced it in advance. "

Kingsley: "Is this the spell that hit Miss Umbridge?" Della was alarmed: "I don't know. I mean... I didn't see her. But I know she fell down the stairs, and a lot of people I've seen it all."

Umbridge was so angry that he wanted to jump over and grab Della: "You are talking nonsense! Your spell hit me and I fell down and passed out! And you still want to admit it! Someone saw it, you It was a spell cast at me!"

Professor McGonagall and Kingsley stopped her, and Headmaster Dumbledore stood up, wand drawn.

Umbridge collapsed to the ground with a scream, as if she had been hit, and Kingsley immediately stood in front of her with cold sweat on his face: "Principal Dumbledore, please put away your wand, please don't impulse."

Dumbledore glanced at him, and the two sides confronted each other.

Professor McGonagall said nervously, "Albus, calm down."

Dumbledore then withdrew his wand, "I don't want to hear someone slander my students with clumsy lies. There will be no next time."

Kingsley promised in a low voice: "There will be no next time."

He helped Umbridge up, didn't ask any more questions, and hurriedly said to Della: "I think it's all right, Miss Bush." ​​He left with his people.

Della thought that Dumbledore would say something to her, such as teaching her a few more words, telling her not to be so reckless again.

But Dumbledore just asked Professor McGonagall to send her back to class.

At dinner, Della was surrounded by people.Ron and Harry huddled around her and said, "We've got the snitch."

Harry: "It's Malfoy. He was talking about it proudly in the corridor."

Ron shook his head: "Slytherin, they are hopeless."

Fred and Hermione were more worried about her.

"Are you sure it's all right?" Hermione was very disturbed, she felt that it would not be so smooth.

"Yes, it was an accident. That's how it is defined," Della said cheerfully.Great to see Umbridge speechless today!

Listening to her, Dumbledore even drew his wand, and everyone gathered around.

Ron exclaimed: "It's exciting..." Harry's chest was full of enthusiasm, "Headmaster Dumbledore is like this! Even the Ministry of Magic can't do anything about him."

Although Hermione thought it was bad, she didn't refute it in public, but warned Della privately: "You'd better not do it again. This time the headmaster is protecting you because everyone hates Umbridge, but don't do it next time." It’s too risky to do it again.”

Della promised her: "I won't."

—she will be more ingenious.

Everyone thought Umbridge would never appear again, but they were all wrong.

She was back on Wednesday.

It also brought the No. [-] education order: she can review everyone in the school, including the principal, not just teaching, but everything, including their friendship status, private words and deeds, and so on.

It dawned on Della.It seemed that instead of deterring Umbridge from Headmaster Dumbledore's wand-drawing, she felt that the headmaster must have shown no respect for the Ministry of Magic.

She thought that the headmaster must be against the Minister, must be against the Ministry of Magic, he is so "arrogant", and he must be able to catch him.
