Fred and George persuaded Darren.
Then they started urging Harry and the others to hurry up and go out for lunch.
Because what they were doing didn't intend to involve Darren and his group, Harry and the others had no choice but to pull Darren away.
They went to the auditorium. But around the auditorium, they encountered Phelps.
Phelps was apparently a member of the investigation team.
He looked at Darren with ill intent and said, "Come on, Potter, our headmaster wants to see you!"
Harry and the others looked over in horror.
They also thought that Fred and George's plan had been reported.
Harry grabbed Darren and angrily said to Phelps, "Darren didn't do it!"
"You're already feeling guilty before you've even said anything, aren't you?"
"Phelps said smugly."
Darren shook his head.
He looked at Harry and said with a smile, "It's okay, brother, it wasn't me who did it!"
Harry then realized that Fred hadn't done anything yet! And even if he had, it had nothing to do with Darren.
He let go of Darren.
Darren followed Phelps away.
All the way, Phelps looked at him with a smug expression. It seemed that something was about to happen that would punish Darren. Darren, of course, knew what it was.
After all, when he arrived at Umbridge's office, he saw Umbridge's malicious smile.
She asked Darren in a friendly manner, "What would you like? Tea? Lemonade? Juice?"
"Lemon juice, please!"
Darren laughed.
Umbridge waved her wand. Two glasses of lemonade appeared.
A glass of lemonade was pushed toward Darren.
Umbridge picked up her glass of lemonade, took a sip, and then looked at Darren.
Darren picked up his own glass of lemonade and pretended to take a sip. He was afraid Umbridge would spit in his lemonade! He had no guarantee of Umbridge's integrity.
Umbridge laughed even harder.
She suddenly asked, "Darren Porter, what did you do to me in my office earlier?"
"?"
Ah this.
Did it leave the old toad with psychological trauma?
However, Darren didn't hide anything and said, "I tortured you severely, and then I used the 'Forget All' technique on you. It's like this every time."
"Is it always like this?"
Umbridge screamed.
Darren nodded, feigning a daze, and said, "Yes, of course. I love it when you kidnap me, saying you're going to torture me, and then you get torturing me."
Umbridge's face turned purple with anger. However, she managed to restrain herself.
She asked, "Where is Dumbledore?"
"Dumbledore is in Nurmengard, with his old lover Grindelwald."
Darren continued to feign a daze. Umbridge's eyes lit up.
Are you sure? How do you know?
"Because I am their child."
"What? Darren Porter, I think you're being silly. Drink the lemonade, take another sip."
Darren pretended to take another sip.
Umbridge continued, "How do you know they're lovers?"
"Rowling told me this in her book."
"Who is Rowling? Where does she live? Tell me now, I'm going to arrest her!"
"I don't know where she lives. I read her books through pirated copies, and many other people have read her books too. She also wrote Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, and even wrote your ending..."
"What ending?"
Umbridge frowned. Darren suddenly laughed.
"After Voldemort fell, he went to Azkaban!"
Umbridge looked at Darren with an expression as if he were crazy.
She suddenly asked, "Did you not drink any lemon juice at all?"
"Yes!"
Darren nodded. Umbridge almost lost his balance.
She looked at Darren in horror.
"You, what are you going to do?"
"Didn't you bring me here? I've been cooperating with you so much, answering whatever you asked. Isn't that cooperating?"
Umbridge stared at him. In that instant.
If she could, Umbridge would even like to kill Darren. But unfortunately, there was nothing she could do.
All she could hear Darren say with a sigh, "Looks like I'll have to use the Oblivion Curse on you again. You've probably been tortured too much; you still have some lingering fear."
I really hoped this would make you happy, that you'd be less wary of me, that you'd treat me like a little saint, but you just wouldn't agree.
Umbridge looked at him in horror.
"you are not human!"
"Nonsense, that's me!"
Darren angrily corrected her.
Then, a phrase lingered in Umbridge's mind: "Forget everything!" That voice sounded so familiar!
Boom!
A loud bang shook the floor.
Umbridge was a little dazed; look at Darren, who was also in a dazed state.
She remembered that she seemed to have forced Darren to drink a glass of lemonade in the office.
She then pressed Darren with questions about where Dumbledore was and even punished him.
She remembered using many torturous spells on Darren. She remembered...
No.
Umbridge screamed. She didn't seem to have done anything.
But her memories told her that she was the one who tormented Darren.
She suddenly lunged at Darren, ripped open his clothes, and tried to see exactly where she had been torturing him.
Darren was caught off guard.
The most terrifying thing was that Malfoy was just then bursting into Umbridge's office.
He happened to see Umbridge tearing off Darren's clothes.
He screamed in terror.
Umbridge seemed to snap out of her daze at that moment.
She rushed to Malfoy, wanting him to forget everything. But then Harry burst in too.
He stared wide-eyed at Umbridge.
"You, you, what have you done! Ugh!"
Harry rushed forward and went to Darren, only to find Darren staring blankly ahead, seemingly oblivious to everything.
Harry understood.
He saw the glass of lemonade on Darren's table and remembered Darren's state after drinking truth serum.
He roared angrily, "So you deliberately gave Darren the truth serum and then did this to him! No wonder you wanted to erase his memory, you...you..."
He took several deep breaths, but couldn't utter a single word.
He could only grip the cup tightly in his hand.
Umbridge seemed to have been greatly insulted.
