Chapter 603 You little bastard!!
Umbridge sneered.
She looked at Harry and said, "Steal the fire bolt? You little rascal, of course you won't tell the truth."
"I need some truth serum, Malfoy. Go and fetch your Professor Snape!"
Malfoy laughed gleefully. He rushed out.
Harry was wondering when Snape would arrive. But Malfoy bumped into Snape as soon as he stepped outside.
Harry thought of Snape poisoning Darren and the threats Snape made against Darren.
He lowered his head.
He didn't want Voldemort to know; he was going to rescue Black.
"Principal, are you looking for me?"
Snape raised an eyebrow and glanced at Harry.
They seemed a little curious about how he ended up there.
“Severus, give me some truth serum. I need to get Potter to tell me who he’s been contacting!”
Harry's stomach cramped.
Snape will definitely give it to Umbridge. He'll then reveal the details of the Order of the Phoenix.
But to his surprise, Snape refused.
"I'm sorry, I'm out of truth serum. If you want it, Principal, you'll have to wait until next month."
"What? Next month!"
Umbridge shouted angrily.
But Snape remained unmoved. He smiled and said, "Excuse me, I sensed someone had gone into my office. I need to go check it out. Please do as you wish, Headmaster."
"Perhaps I could poison Potter. If you approve, I can prepare the poison for you, but I only ask that you allow me to observe him!"
Snape bowed politely and then left. Umbridge was trembling with anger.
She shouted, "He just looks down on me. Just wait, I'll get him sooner or later... Before the start of the semester, the department wanted to ruin Harry Potter's reputation."
But they dared not do anything. Only I, only I sent out the Dementors, I…”
Harry glared at her.
"Did you send the Dementors?"
“That’s right, if I hadn’t done this, how could we have gotten here?”
"Umbridge said smugly."
Then she tapped her palm with her wand and said, "I believe the Crucifixion Charm will make you talk..."
“No, you can’t do that!”
Hermione suddenly burst into tears.
Harry acted as if he didn't recognize her, turning to look at Hermione. Why would Hermione cry at a time like this?
Sure enough, when he turned around, he found that although Hermione was covering her face and crying, she didn't shed a single tear.
But Umbridge took it seriously.
She walked up to Hermione with feigned concern.
She said in a sweet, cloying voice, "Good girl, it seems Rita Skeeter's writing has some merit; you actually like the Potter brothers."
And you like Harry Potter, right?
"Eek!"
Pansy, who had been holding Hermione, suddenly took a step back in disgust. She no longer restrained Hermione.
But Hermione still did not resist.
She sobbed, "Yes, yes... so I don't want you to torture him anymore."
Harry saw Ginny, Ron, and even Neville and Malfoy, all of whom looked shocked.
Only he believed that Hermione actually had some kind of plan.
Hearing Hermione say that made Umbridge even happier.
She screamed, "Then, good girl, tell me, tell me, who was Harry Potter contacting just now?"
If you had told me, I wouldn't have tormented Harry Potter!
"I said, it's Dumbledore, Harry is contacting Dumbledore!"
Umbridge's eyes widened.
She almost burst out laughing with excitement.
"Really? What do you want to tell him?"
“We wanted to tell him that the weapon he asked us to make had been successfully completed, and we had to get him back to collect it as soon as possible.”
That way, he can get rid of everyone in the Ministry of Magic, and then you won't be able to stay at Hogwarts anymore!
Umbridge's eyes almost lit up.
“Then, good boy, tell me where that weapon is, take me there… Oh, and Potter, you come along too.”
Good girl, if you're deliberately lying to me, I'll torture your good lover. Hermione nodded.
She led the way toward the Forbidden Forest. Harry remained silent the entire way.
Because he didn't know where Hermione would lead Umbridge.
He initially suspected it was from Groop, but he discovered that Hermione wasn't taking the route Hagrid had led them to Groop.
This confused him.
However, this doubt did not last long.
He finally understood when a crossbow bolt grazed their scalp and nearly pierced Umbridge's head.
This is the territory of the centaurs.
These horsemen are extremely xenophobic.
Because Hagrid had placed Grop in the Forbidden Forest, they wouldn't even allow Hagrid to enter again...
Now that they saw Umbridge enter, they naturally attacked. Umbridge was startled.
Then she became extremely angry.
"You, you bastards! The Ministry of Magic allows you to settle in the Forbidden Forest, yet you dare to attack me, a high-ranking investigator from the Ministry of Magic!"
Her threats clearly had no effect on the centaurs.
When the centaurs heard her say this, they angrily pointed their arrows at her. Umbridge, of course, did not back down.
She cursed the centaurs and attacked them with her wand. This enraged the centaurs.
They attacked Umbridge. Harry and Hermione were terrified.
They were terrified that such an attack would land on their heads. But a pair of hands held them down.
They were heavily protected. When Harry and the others stood up...
They saw Darren. Darren had a cut on his face.
It looks a bit dangerous.
However, he didn't make a move; instead, he prepared to pull Harry and the others away. But his path was blocked by the centaurs.
"This cub also used magic just now. He attacked us with magic and protected these two foals!"
"A centaur pointed at Darren and said that," a group of centaurs gathered around. Darren didn't speak.
Hermione and Harry both turned pale. Just then, a commotion was heard.
The sounds were like an earthquake.
Darren pulled Harry and Hermione back, saying, "Don't worry, it's Groop! It really is Groop."
His feet were about the same height as Darren's.
He walked step by step up to Darren and roared, "Hagel, Hagel!"
What was he yelling about?
Harry asked hesitantly.
"Hagrid!"
Darren said without hesitation. Then he waved his wand.
It stopped a centaur from attacking Gropp.
"Good! That child has attacked us again, we can't let him get away with this!" the centaurs roared in unison.
Harry and Hermione turned pale with fright. They tried to explain.
