Harriet Potter

When Umbridge fell on his back, the entire desk shook, and the pile of materials fell to the floor with a clatter.I took a few steps forward and tore off the locket on her chest, and hung it around my neck, then removed the telescope at the door and took out the magic eye and put it in my pocket.My heart stopped suddenly during a final glance at the office at the door: Dumbledore was looking at me from a small rectangular mirror on the bookshelf by the desk.

I rushed to grab it, but as soon as I touched it I realized it wasn't a mirror, Dumbledore was smiling broodingly on the glossy cover of a book, and in green letters on his hat was "Albus Dumbledore's Lives and Lies," with an even smaller inscription on the chest: Rita Skeeter, bestseller Armando Dippet: Master or Idiot? "author.

I subconsciously wanted to open it, and then remembered that the identities of Ron and Hermione might be exposed at any time, and we had to evacuate from the Ministry of Magic before the effect of the medicine wore off, so I stuffed it into a donkey skin bag and took it out again. Two baits were thrown out from the big hole left by the magic eye on the office door.After a while, a witch screamed nearby, and the outside quickly became noisy.I put on the Invisibility Cloak and was about to go out, but after thinking about it, I rushed back to Umbridge and picked up the Horcrux on my chest.

"Copy in pairs!"

After putting the replica on her, I sprinted out of the office, dodging people running around and making my way through the chaos to the elevator.The lift wasn't empty, though, and when the golden bars opened I saw Ron and Hermione inside, arguing just before the door opened, and they looked like they'd just come out of a scuffle.They both became nervous when they heard the movement behind me, so I tore off the invisibility cloak while running, and pushed them back together.

"You just knocked my dad out!" Ron called out, breathlessly, to Hermione as the elevator began to sink.

"There's nothing else I can do!" said Hermione. "The whole floor just saw your dad help us out! So he can claim he's under the Imperius Curse—Quick Binding!"

The elevator stopped with a bang between the two floors, and we all fell to the ground.

"It'll buy us some time," said Hermione nervously, her face pale.

"What's the matter with you?" I got up with difficulty.

"Ron was identified by Mr. Weasley—"

"—I told him! He can help us find Umm—"

"—that's unnecessary! You shouldn't have been talking to him alone in the first place, it would only put him in danger—"

"—I have to warn them about the You-Know-Who's name—"

"—Anyway, I found that the people on the floor were being evacuated. I thought something was wrong, so I went inside to look for them." Hermione said quickly, "As soon as we left the office, several people surrounded us, Mr. Weasley Helped us fight them off, we stopped them around the corner with the Armor Charm, and then I knocked out Mr Weasley - the important thing is what to do now! All the Aurors in the Ministry of Magic are on the second floor, They must have been waiting for us!"

I stared at their impending catastrophe expressions and thought frantically for a few seconds, then I jumped up and covered Hermione with the Invisibility Cloak, then pushed Ron who had just got up to the ground, and poked his wand on his chest.

"Put away your wand and pretend you've passed out!" I gasped, "Hermione, unbind!"

Ron was confused, "What—"

"Just do it!"

"Ron, come on!" Hermione said anxiously from a corner I couldn't see, obviously having understood my plan. "Harry, I didn't know that..."

The lift started creaking, Hermione lifted the Imprisoning Charm, and we continued our descent.Then the hollow female voice announced "Second Floor, Department of Magical Law Enforcement, including the Department of Improper Misuse of Magic, Auror Command, and the Wizengamot Governing Body."Through the fence, I saw a procession standing outside the door, led by Yaxley, one of the Death Eaters who had been on top of the tower when Dumbledore died.Ron finally collapsed and closed his eyes, and Hermione took a deep breath.

"The... infiltrators have been subdued." Mafalda Hopcock's shivering and trembling voice came out of my mouth.

After seeing the situation in the elevator clearly, the Death Eaters outside the door did not put down their wands. After a stalemate for a while, Yaxley spoke.

"We have word that you and Catmull are on the same side."

"He used... the Imperius Curse on me." I said tremblingly, "but it was not very clever, and was discovered by Dolores... She broke the spell and led someone to guard the elevator door, Knocked them out as soon as they showed up...she's up there now looking at Leah—I mean, the one dressed as Leah...told me to take Ray—the man to the courtroom..."

"She let you watch the prisoner alone?" Yaxley's voice rose suspiciously.

"She said he's been knocked unconscious, and you're sure to have an ambush down there..." I sniffed, "She said...she said I had to learn from my failures..."

Obviously, this looks like something Umbridge would do.Yaxley approached slowly, wand in hand, raised his chin haughtily for me to stand up and step aside, then kicked Ron on the head so loudly that I cringed.Ron's head tilted sideways under his force, looking lifeless, and I wondered if he'd actually been kicked unconscious.

Yaxley nodded in satisfaction, then gave me another weary look.Hermione let out a scream when he kicked Ron, and I threw myself at her feet to cover it up. "She told you to send the man to the courtroom?"

"Yes," I flinched again, "she said she would interrogate them herself later."

"Then I'll have to sit first class, poor fellows." Yaxley smiled cruelly. "Okay, it's none of your business, Hopcock. Dawlish, Travers, you two and I'll come. Others take another elevator to see what's going on upstairs."

"I'll go with you to the courtroom, Yaxley." Yaxley and I looked at Kingsley who stood up in surprise at the same time. His wand hand was hanging by his side, and he stared at Yaxley calmly. "Make sure you don't kill our captives before interrogation."

Yaxley met him for a moment, narrowing his silly little eyes, and relented. "Then Shacklebolt and Travers and I'll take the prisoner down, and Dawlish upstairs. Won't you come in, old mother Shacklebolt?"

Unaffected by the laughter behind him, Kingsley walked slowly into the elevator, intentionally or unintentionally blocking Hermione and me.Then Travers walked in, and the golden bars closed, and the elevator began to sink again.Kingsley's tall figure loomed over me, Yaxley and Travers occupied the other two corners of the elevator, their wands pointed at Ron.I put my back against Hermione's leg and feel her trembling.

"Are you all right, Mafalda?" Kingsley turned and held out his hand to me.

"Just give her a break, Shacklebolt," said Travers, while Alexis laughed wildly. "Poor little Maggie's pissed off."

I grabbed Kingsley's hand and got up, and just as I stood still, he blinked at me quickly.The next second his wand was pointed at Yaxley, who was immediately knocked down by the red light.

But Travers had obviously been paying attention to the movement here, and he reacted immediately, dodged my full-body binding spell, and aimed his wand at Kingsley with amazing speed.Kingsley held me in front of my chest, and my eyes were suddenly dark. I only heard Travers grunt, and a spell hit me obliquely above my head, and then Hermione screamed "drowsy" .Then Kingsley walked away from me, and I saw Travers collapsed on the ground, and Ron was getting up from him with a grin, and it seemed that he had just jumped up and hung himself on Travers, and jumped. Crooked his wand.Hermione tore off the cloak and ran towards Ron. She grabbed him, looked up and down, and hugged him.

Kingsley gave a low laugh, and made a silver rope to tie Yaxley and Travers tightly.At this moment, the elevator stopped, and the hollow female voice said "Department of Mysteries" before falling silent.

"You'd better go out and celebrate." Kingsley said in that encouragingly slow voice. "There's no one around here today. Let's get them to the side corridor first."

He cast a hover spell on Yax, and I did the same on Travers' limp body.Hermione let go of Ron, who was still rubbing painfully where Yaxley had kicked him, and her voice was a little shaky and high-pitched when she spoke.

"But how are we going to get out?" she asked. "They'll find out as soon as they get upstairs that Umbridge hasn't caught the other one at all."

"I'm here to take you out, which should delay the people above from closing the exit." Kingsley took a few steps, and threw Yaxley into a dark corner, "How big is your invisibility cloak? "

I dropped Travers on Yaxley and Hermione turned back and picked up the Invisibility Cloak and handed it to Kingsley, who shook it out and checked it, his eyes widening.

"This is no ordinary invisibility cloak." His voice hardened. "I've heard and seen it, in fact. You better explain."

"I'm Harry, and these two are Ron and Hermione." I said quickly, "Kingsley, your Patronus is a lynx, and Dumbledore's last words to you were 'Ha Liat is our dearest hope. Trust her', I heard when you and Remus exchanged passwords after we arrived at the Burrow."

Kingsley paused for a second, nodded, "It's you."

"How did you know we weren't enemies?" Hermione asked.

"I've dealt with enough people under the Imperius Curse that Arthur didn't look like it at the time," Kingsley said. "Besides, my enemies don't need disguises to sneak in. They're all officials here." .”

"He might kill you!" said Hermione. "What if Harry doesn't take your cue, or Ron really falls unconscious?"

"I know Harry has an invisible companion." Kingsley smiled. "Besides, it's my job to take risks. I'm very glad I made the right bet."

"We can erase the memories of Travers and Yaxley, and knock you out—"

"They won't believe that Arthur and I were under the Imperius Curse at the same time. Few people can control me with the Imperius Curse, not modestly." Kingsley interrupted me. "Besides, we don't have time. You We must move at once. The cloak barely covers the three of you, and I will take you out, and you will be able to Apparate as soon as you are out of Ministry territory."

"But what about my dad?" Ron asked. "And your job?"

"Arthur will be fine. As for the job, I assure you that I will never miss it. They don't like me since I tipped off the Burrow..." Kingsley said, taking a step forward Stepping into the elevator, "Come on."

We looked at each other and walked in, Hermione draping the cloak over all three of us.

"And I've been knocked unconscious enough times for the same reason," Kingsley said lightly. "Just follow me. If something happens, run to the fireplace immediately and don't look back."

The author has something to say: Harry: Life is like a play, it all depends on acting.

Kingsley: Labor and management are really worried.
