Harry's interrogation ended quickly, and as Rachel had surmised, there was nothing the Ministry could do to him.

When he and Mr. Weasley returned, everyone looked very happy.Fred, George and Ginny even did a kind of war dance for him, which wasn't very pretty and was a bit loud.

Mr. Weasley asked them several times to be quiet, but none of the three paid him any attention.

Rachel saw Harry rubbing his forehead, and asked him in a low voice, "Your scar hurts again? Why don't I look at it for you sometime..."

"He's fine, he's fine, he's fine..."

"Fred—George—Ginny—enough!"

The noise interrupted Rachel's words. Seeing that Fred, George and Ginny were going to continue their battle dance, Rachel quickly ticked George's fingers to signal him to come over.

George put his head next to her and asked, "What's the matter, sweetheart."

Rachel kissed him on the cheek and said, "Be quiet, I have something to say to Harry."

George raised an eyebrow in agreement.He sat down beside her, put his hand on her shoulder, and got very close to her.

Seeing this, Fred yelled, "George, is that why you were bought?"

George chuckled and said, "It's all because Rachel used a beauty trick on me!"

"Hmph!" Fred gave him a disdainful look, and ran to Lida to find his presence.

Ginny looked at her most mischievous twin brothers in disbelief, and couldn't believe that they had just calmed down like this. "Merlin! Falling in love is terrible!"

Rachel continued to say to Harry: "Let me show you sometime, that scar."

Harry said, "It's okay, it doesn't hurt now."

Rachel shook her head and tried to persuade him: "A scar still hurts after more than ten years, it's not normal at all."

Hermione also persuaded him: "Yes, let Rachel help you see it!"

Harry hesitated for a moment, nodded, and said, "Okay."

The cleaning of Blake's house is still going on, and Rachel is lazy as usual with the help of George.

She found a book in the library that taught people how to modify Muggle items without breaking the law.

George walked in angrily, complaining: "My God! Did you know? Ron received the prefect badge!"

Rachel kept her eyes on the page and said, "Not bad, congratulations to him."

George sat down next to her, out of anger, "Mom actually said that everyone in this family is a prefect, so what are I and Fred? The neighbors next door?"

"Pfft!" Rachel laughed, seeing George glaring at her, she quickly suppressed her smile.

She closed the book, sat in George's arms, hooked his collar and said, "On the bright side, after Ron becomes a prefect, you can use the prefect's bathroom."

"so……"

"You know that the prefect's bathroom has a big bathtub?" Rachel showed an ambiguous smile, leaned into his ear, and said softly, "Ron won't know what you did in the bathroom, or Who ever went to the bathroom..."

Fred caught a vixen under Mrs. Weasley's nose, put it in his pocket quietly, and saw George come out of the library happily.

"George, what's the matter with you? Hit your head?" Fred asked him.

George was in a good mood, as if he didn't hear what he was saying, when he walked past Ron, he patted Ron on the shoulder in a good mood and said, "Well done, Ronnie, Rachel asked me to congratulate her you!"

Both Fred and Ron looked at him in horror, as if it wasn't George who was talking to them, but Snape.

Seeing that he was about to leave the hall, Fred hurried over and asked him, "Dude, what's wrong with you?"

George smiled brightly and said, "It's nothing, it's just a benefit of discovering that Ron is a prefect."

Fred asked very interestedly: "What's the benefit?"

George looked at it with exactly the same expression as Mr. Weasley last time, and said, "Poor Fred, you have nothing to do with the benefits this time."

Mrs Weasley was to celebrate Ron and Hermione at dinner.Rachel also went from the library to the dining room. As soon as she sat down, she saw Fred staring at George. His expression changed from envy to gnashing of teeth. She asked George quietly, "What's wrong with Fred? Is his face cramp? "

George cheerfully handed her a potato and said, "Don't bother with him, eat more."

"Rachel, what about you?" Tonks asked Rachel suddenly.

"Me what?" Rachel didn't hear what she just said.

Tonks repeated, "I mean, why didn't you become a prefect? ​​I heard from Lupine that you did very well at school."

Rachel gave Hermione and Ron an embarrassed look, and found that they were not paying attention, so she whispered to Tonks: "I declined, my schedule is already very tight, and I really don't want to be given the position of prefect." Divide my other energy."

Tonks looked surprised. "I thought everyone wanted to be a prefect," she said.

Rachel shrugged and said, "George and Fred don't want to, and I've been accepted by St. Mungo's early, and I can go straight to work after graduation, and I don't need to dress up my resume."

Tonks nodded: "That's true."

After dinner, Rachel went to pack the things she needed for the start of school. After asking Sirius for permission, she took a few books from the library of Black's house and put them in her suitcase, and then began to shuttle back and forth between her original The living room and George's room.

"George, have you seen my underwear?" Rachel rummaged through the closet.

"Which set?" George asked without raising his head as he was packing his things.

"The purple one with the lace trim."

"You mean this set?" Rachel turned to look at George, only to see a set of underwear hooked on his index finger, shaking and shaking, it was exactly the set Rachel was looking for.

She stepped forward a few steps, and grabbed her with a blushing face.George showed a mischievous smile: "Take it, I like the way you wear it."

Rachel glared at him with those watery eyes, which was not only harmless, but also moved George a little.

He put his arms around her from behind and said, "Remember why it's under the bed? Last time you wore it, we moved so much that we..."

"George! Stop talking..." Rachel shyly stopped him!

"I like it when you call me that, but when we're in bed, your voice will be a little sweeter." George didn't listen, and said seriously, his hand was already sliding up and down against Rachel's skin.

"Don't... I'm still packing things!" Rachel was weakened by his movements, and leaned against him softly.

"We can wake up earlier tomorrow." George whispered in her ear, then turned around and took her down on the bed together.

On the morning of the first day of school, of course Rachel didn't get up early, and it was all because George was too late last night.

She had no choice but to stuff everything into the box in one go, planning to clean it up slowly when she got to Hogwarts.

Everyone in the room was in a hurry, and Fred and George used magic to make a large box fly down, almost hitting Ginny, but fortunately Rachel was standing next to it.

She shouted angrily: "George! You almost hurt Ginny!" She was also a little angry when George interrupted her to pack her things last night.

George, in a good mood, ignored her yelling and said loudly, "Sorry!"

When they all sat in the compartment at Hogwarts, they were relieved. George kissed Rachel before leaving the compartment and went to find Lee with Fred.

Rachel was sitting alone in the box. After a while, Carla knocked on the door and walked in.

Rachel went up and hugged her in surprise: "I thought we could only meet at Hogwarts!"

Carla also hugged her and said, "I came here to find you. Thank God, I don't have to be a prefect this year."

"Oh yes, our grade should elect a student president."

"Yeah, I pushed! This year we can fully focus on the research of the medical team!"

"Great! I have a lot of new ideas!"

Rachel took out a large roll of parchment and discussed it with Kara eagerly. It didn't take long for Gary to find him. The medical team was all present. The strong academic atmosphere in the carriage made the students who hadn't completely left the happy summer vacation daunting.

This school year has been a very special one for both George and Rachel.George tossed him and Fred's joke shop, and Rachel gave George her seven hundred gold Galleons as promised.

At first George didn't plan to take it, because they already had a thousand galleons that Harry gave them, but Rachel said that she was very optimistic about their joke shop, so she wanted to take a stake, and George was relieved.

Rachel has been very busy this school year. Although she has been doing well in her studies, she can't help but have too much homework.

Moreover, the medical team had a new project. Not long after the start of the term, Rachel gathered in the laboratory with Carla and Gary, and Rachel was introducing her new research to them.

She first closed the door of the laboratory, carefully cast a spell on the door, and then took out a shrunken machine from her bag, and said, "To tell you the truth, I have been doing some things that may violate the "Prohibited Law" recently. The Misuse of Muggle Substances Act..."

Kara asked with great interest: "What's the matter? Can I join?"

"...magically transforming Muggle objects..."

Kara pointed to the shrunken machine and asked, "This? What is it?"

Gary cast a Magnification Charm on the machine, looked at it for a moment, and said, "A Muggle portable X-ray machine."

Rachel nodded and said: "Yes, this is a very old thing. During the holidays, I found a book that taught people to modify Muggle objects, and tried to modify it, but it was not completely successful. "

Gary frowned and said, "But the X-ray machine has radiation!"

"I know, so I changed its operation method, and asked Lida to help me draw a magic circle on it, using magic power instead of electromagnetic waves, but I will experiment with a model before using it."

Kara asked, "Why do you suddenly want to do this?"

Rachel's expression became a little sad, and she said: "In St. Mungo's Curse and Injury Unit, there are some patients. They are in Voldemort..." She couldn't help shaking when she saw Cara and Gary hear the name.

"Sorry, I didn't notice..." she said guiltily.

Kara waved her hand and said, "It's okay, we will adapt, you continue to talk."

"Well, they were tortured insane by the Death Eaters, and the healers couldn't find a way to cure them. But... do you remember when we experimented with mannequins? With the Unforgivable Curse, the mannequin's There will be some magic power left in their bodies, and I suspect that the reason why they cannot be cured is probably that the magic power in their bodies is causing damage, so I want to see if there is magic power remaining in their bodies as I guessed."

Neither Gary nor Kara spoke. They looked at the machine thoughtfully, thinking about Rachel's words.

Gary said: "I think your idea is fine, and the machine transformation is handed over to me."

Kara also nodded and said, "What can I do?"

Rachel was very happy with her friends' trust. She said, "No hurry, let's take a look at Harry's head first. His scar is still hurting after more than ten years."

Kara said, "The scar hurts? Didn't the...you-know-how get his scar?" She still didn't have the courage to say the name.

"Yes, it's because Voldemort made it, so I wanted to see if there was anything left..."

"Okay, when can Gary modify the machine?" Kara turned to Gary.

Gary seemed to be completely fascinated by the machine, and he replied without raising his head, "Give me a month first!"

Rachel nodded and said, "Then leave it to you."

Within a few days after the start of school, the story of Umbridge's disgusting deeds had spread throughout Hogwarts.

Perhaps because of being with Gryffindors for a long time, Rachel's courage and temper have also begun to grow.

In another boring theory class, Rachel finally couldn't help raising her hand.

Umbridge said in her disgusting voice, "Miss Joyce, do you have any questions?"

Rachel looked directly into her eyes and asked, "I have a question, professor..." She made the word professor very long, which sounded very mocking. "I doubt that you are really capable of teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts."

Umbridge looked at her with surprised eyes, as if she had told some big joke: "Joyce, I was personally called by the Minister of Magic to come to Hogwarts. You are questioning the Minister of Magic by saying that. choice?"

Rachel said in the mocking tone she learned from Snape: "Of course not, I'm just questioning your ability, maybe you used some method to deceive the Minister of Magic, maybe you got this position ?”

Umbridge's smile gradually disappeared: "Miss Joyce, are you saying that wizards who are much smarter and more experienced than you can't judge whether I am qualified for the post of Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher?"

"Much smarter than me?" Rachel heard many Ravenclaws laughing, she paused, and continued: "I'm not sure, Ms. Even a troll can do it." Now even Hufflepuff laughed, and the classroom laughed one after another.

"Shut up!" Umbridge's distorted expression was a little scary, she took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, she showed a kind and somewhat disgusting smile, then picked up a piece of parchment, Said: "Disrespect the professor, ten points from Ravenclaw! Miss Joyce, take this to Professor Flitwick, and then..."

Rachel stood up, with the same disdainful expression on her face, and said: "I'm sorry to interrupt you, Ms. Umbridge, if you want to put me in confinement and punish me in the same way you punished Harry, I'm afraid You can't."

Umbridge laughed angrily, and said in a kindly scary voice, "On behalf of the Minister for Magic, Joyce, do you think the Minister for Magic can't punish a student who hasn't graduated yet?"

"I'm afraid it really can't," she said, raising her hands to reveal the red cross pattern on the back of her hands, "During the summer vacation, the president of the British Magical Red Cross cast a protective spell on me. Hurt, he'll get the news right away, and maybe talk to Mr Fudge himself."

The British Magical Red Cross is an independent organization that is not under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Magic. The president is a great magician as famous as Dumbledore.

The Magic Red Cross is a completely neutral organization. People who join the Magic Red Cross cannot join any other organization, so members will be specially protected.However, since its members are all healers or medical experts, there are very few people who don't have an eye to provoke them. After all, no one wants to be rejected by St. Mungo's or other magical hospitals.

Rachel had already decided to join the Order of the Phoenix after graduation, so she rejected the invitation from the Magical Red Cross. The president understood her decision, and out of consideration for talents, he personally cast a protective spell on her. She has a protective look, which also shows to the members of the Magical Red Cross that she is a reserve member of the Magical Red Cross. Once the war is over and the Order of the Phoenix is ​​disbanded, she will be immediately recruited as a member of the Magical Red Cross.

Umbridge was stunned. She didn't expect her to have such a trick. Rachel took out another letter and said, "Yesterday morning, due to the research topic of our club, I have applied to Professor Flitwick. I took the Defense Against the Dark Arts exam in advance, and it seems that I have passed, this is my reply," she deliberately showed a regretful expression, and said, "It seems that you can't put me in confinement! After all, I am no longer in your class. students."

Rachel picked up her schoolbag, she didn't even take out the book, she got down from her seat, came to Umbridge, and said provocatively in the voices of only the two of them: "Goodbye, Professor, it's an honor I will no longer attend your class." After finishing speaking, he left the classroom.

Carla and Gary also followed Rachel with their schoolbags. Carla showed a smile on her usually expressionless face. She also waved the envelope that was exactly the same as Rachel, and said to Umbridge: "I'm so happy, I'm also a member of her club." After finishing speaking, she left the classroom before she could react.

Gary, who didn't talk much, just waved the letter and left without saying a word.

They met outside the classroom, and before they had walked for a long time, they heard Umbridge's roar and the sound of smashing things in the classroom, which made the three of them even happier.

Thanks to the Hufflepuffs, the trio spread the word about Umbridge's rage throughout the seventh year.

Although everyone didn't like Umbridge, such an open and aboveboard provocation still made everyone talk about it.

Only Gryffindors think that Rachel is almost a hero.

When George took Rachel to the Gryffindor table, the lion cubs immediately gave her warm applause.

Ron blushed with excitement, and said, "Rachel, tell us about the situation at that time! Did Umbridge want to jump up because of your anger?"

Rachel sat down next to George and said, "I thought you already knew?"

Ron said, "We've heard all kinds of versions, but we don't know the truest one yet."

Hermione stared at Ron seriously, and said, "You are a prefect, you shouldn't encourage this kind of behavior, after all Umbridge is sent by the Ministry of Magic!" She turned to Rachel and said, "Rachel Chell, I have to say, it was really reckless of you to do that..."

George interrupted her yelling: "Hey! You don't need to teach Rachel, don't you see that there is no professor to teach Rachel?" It was the first time that Rachel saw George so targeting Hermione.

She looked at George in surprise and said, "George, don't talk to Hermione like that, what's wrong with her?"

Hermione didn't seem to care, and said, "It's okay, it's just that I won't let him and Fred experiment with skipping candy on first years."

Fred said angrily from the side: "We paid them!"

Hermione argued: "But what if your candy makes them seriously ill?!"

George said, "As I said, Fred and I tried it on ourselves! Nothing!"

"That's not okay!" The three of them quarreled in front of everyone.

Rachel hurriedly grabbed George, she already understood what was going on, and she said to Hermione: "Please allow me to intervene, Hermione, if you are talking about George and Fred's unconsciousness and nosebleeds, I have already checked the recipe for candies like fever! Apart from these effects, it will never do anyone any harm."

"But..." Hermione wanted to say something, but Rachel wouldn't let her continue.

"About Umbridge, I dare to do this because I am sure she can't do anything to me. I admit that it is really reckless when I think about it now. Maybe there is a better and more peaceful solution, but I am just I made a small mistake in this matter, you don't need to use this matter to teach me, after all, who doesn't make mistakes? Don't you make mistakes? "

Ron responded reflexively, and said, "Of course she's going to make a mistake. Yesterday she tried to hide a few woolen hats under the trash and trick the house elves into taking them away!"

Hermione blushed at Ron's words and gave him a hard look.

When Rachel heard Ron's words, she frowned and looked at Hermione in surprise, and said, "Wow, this surprised me. I thought you founded the House Elf Rights Promotion Association out of justice and kindness." .”

Hermione's face quickly returned to normal color, she explained: "Of course I am out of justice."

Rachel stared at her sharply and said, "No, you're not. If you really came from justice, you wouldn't choose to deceive them. You did it just to satisfy your sense of accomplishment. You didn't think about domestication at all." How the elves felt when they were forced to be free knowing they had inadvertently received a hat."

Hermione argued: "When they are really free, they will understand how good it is to be free!"

Rachel shook her head and said, "But your behavior is forcing them to choose freedom. You claim to help the house elves to be free, but the first thing you can do is force them.

And you've seen Winky when she's free, but you refuse to face her pain. "

Hermione froze, frowning as she considered Rachel's words.Rachel didn't try to persuade her any more, but silently pulled George out of the auditorium.

Rachel and George were walking hand in hand outside the castle, and George pestered her and said, "You still haven't told me how you drove Umbridge crazy?"

Rachel had already forgotten the little unpleasantness just now, she said the matter again, and then said in a mischievous tone: "Actually, I didn't do anything, let alone quarrel with her. When Professor Flitwick asked, I Just saying 'I'm just curious about her abilities' and 'By the way, I don't have to take Defense Against the Dark Arts anymore' and they punished me for no reason."

George laughed, held Rachel's face and kissed and kissed, and said, "Oh, honey, you're so cute!" He leaned into her ear and whispered, "I'm so 'sexy' about you. 'Plenty!"

Rachel intentionally misinterpreted what he meant, raised her eyebrows and said, "What? I said Umbridge will make you very 'sexually interesting'?"

George made a disgusted look and said, "Come on, dear, I don't mind if we have some weird boudoir fun, but talk about Umbridge and I'm going to be frigid sooner or later!"

Rachel thought for a while, and made the same expression as George, which was really disgusting.
