Magical Studies at Hogwarts

Chapter 212 The Power of the Curse

It seemed to be venting. Compared with the previous ones, Snape's teaching was stricter this time, and the power of Legilimency was also much stronger. When he was finally allowed to leave, his mind was unprecedentedly chaotic, and he was dumbfounded. After sitting on the sofa for a long time, it didn't hurt so much.

It was a really bad time for Harry.As the OWLs approached, all Grade [-] students were under unprecedented pressure, and some even broke down in class.And more than anyone else, Harry had to endure Umbridge's intense attention and Snape's special teaching.

To be honest, if there is no DA, I am afraid that he would not be able to survive long ago.

The progress of DA is still very gratifying. There are gold coins that Hermione has cast a spell on. They have always been safe, and they are very careful when practicing. Now they have begun to practice the Patronus Charm, and some have even successfully summoned their own coins. Patronus.And in the last class before Easter, except for Neville, everyone else basically succeeded.

"You have to think about happy things," Harry reminded, looking at the Patronus on the tip of Neville's staff.

"I was thinking about it." Neville seemed a little bit annoyed, his head was covered with sweat, and blue veins were popping out, but the silver light on the tip of the staff just couldn't take shape.

Harry shrugged and didn't say anything else, Neville had worked hard enough, all he needed was an opportunity, a trivial one.

Walking in the Room of Requirement, the sky is full of patron saints summoned by everyone.Fred and George's are magpies, which have perfectly inherited the character of their masters, flying non-stop in the air, very lively.

Seamus's is a fox, Luna's is a hare, and Ron's is a beagle, very cute.Stuart, Terry, Anthony and Michael are foxes, Scottish shepherds, Dalmatians and German shepherds respectively. Except for Stuart who is more lively, the others stay obediently beside their owners.

This scene made Harry very happy. He felt that his hard work had been rewarded very well, and he kept saying words of encouragement, which attracted a lot of praise from everyone.

Suddenly, the door opened and closed quickly, and Harry looked back but saw nothing.Before taking two steps, he found that people had stopped practicing, and his pants seemed to be pulled crazily by something.Looking down, it was Dobby.

"Hey, Dobby, what's up?" Harry asked.

Dobby's eyes were wide and trembling, and all attention was on him.

"Mr. Harry Potter, Dobby has told you..." Dobby shrieked, "but the house-elf has been warned, by a dreadful..."

"What's the matter? What happened?" Sensing that the atmosphere was not right, Harry quickly grabbed Dobby's arms and asked, this was to prevent it from hurting him.

"She...she..." Dobby was incoherent, just kept repeating the word "she", which made Harry very anxious.On the other hand, Hermione was thoughtful, and suddenly said, "Umbridge? Is it her? She found us and is coming?"

Seeing Dobby's momentum as if he was about to knock his head off, everyone was stunned.This time Harry's reaction was quick, and before Hermione could make a sound, he shouted, "Run!"

The door was opened, and everyone ran out in a swarm, fleeing in all directions.Some ran to the dormitory, some went to the library, toilets, and classrooms. They were already in a panic, just trying to escape Umbridge's capture.

Harry's goal was the men's room, which he remembered was not far ahead.He ran fast, but suddenly it seemed that something caught his feet, and he fell down directly, and slid forward on the ground for a long time.Then, he heard a very familiar voice.

"Hahaha, Potter, the Tripping Curse!" Malfoy said, "Professor, I got it!"

Harry's arm was covered with bruises, he turned over in pain, and saw Umbridge's face full of disgusting smile at a glance.

"Great job! Well done, Draco, fifty points for Slytherin!" Umbridge pulled Harry's arm fiercely, pulling him up from the ground, "Keep going and see if you can do anything." Can't catch more, Draco!" Umbridge was very happy, "Look at the library, classrooms, auditorium, and look for those who are out of breath!"

She pushed Harry roughly, and within a few minutes she reached the principal's office.After saying the password, the stone monster stepped aside and walked up the spiral staircase, and they walked directly into the office.

It was packed with people, and Dumbledore sat behind a desk with a calm expression on his face.Professor McGonagall stood by, but his face was full of worry.And Minister Fudge, who was shaking excitedly in his chair, obviously very satisfied.Harry also spotted Percy, standing next to Fudge with a quill and a thick roll of parchment, ready to take notes.

"He was on his way back to the Gryffindor common room when the Malfoy kid blocked him," said Umbridge in her squeaky voice.

"Really, is it?" Fudge was very excited, rubbing his hands constantly, "Potter, I think you know why you are here..."

Harry wanted to answer "yes" directly, but seeing Dumbledore behind the desk shook his head slightly, he changed his words, "I don't know."

"Don't know?" Fudge looked at Umbridge suspiciously, then looked at Dumbledore where the old god was, and asked, "You really don't know why Professor Umbridge kept you here ? Don't you know that you have violated the school rules?"

"no!"

"What about the decree from the Ministry of Magic?"

"nor."

Fudge's face turned ugly to the naked eye. He sat up straight, stared at Harry and said, "So, you mean you don't know that there is an illegal student organization in this school?"

"Yes. Why, there is an illegal student organization?" Harry looked in disbelief, as if he had heard about it for the first time.

"Minister, I think bringing in the whistleblower will make this go a lot smoother," Umbridge said with a smile.

"Whistleblower? Well, well, bring her here." Fudge agreed, and Umbridge left the office immediately, dragging someone in after a while.Harry recognized it at a glance, it was introduced by Stuart and the others, Marietta of the sixth grade of Ravenclaw, she was wearing a big cloak, her hands were hidden in the sleeves, and she covered her face.

"Don't be afraid, dear." Umbridge said to Fudge, patting her on the back lightly. "Minister, she is the daughter of Mrs. Eckmore, Floo Network Administrator of the Department of Magical Transport."

"Great!" Fudge said enthusiastically, "Come on, tell me about that illegal student organization... Don't be shy, look up... My God! Merlin!"

Marietta kept covering her face, no matter what Fudge said, which made Umbridge a little impatient.She dropped Marietta's hand violently, but everyone was terrified when they saw that face, and Harry stepped back a few steps, and it was Professor McGonagall who supported him from falling. .

What a face it was!I saw that Marietta's face was covered with pimples the size of a fingernail, and they were constantly getting bigger, and some of them had even turned into a strange purple.Rows of "traitors" moved rhythmically across her face, as well as her arms and hands.

She let out a scream, but suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and several teeth fell to the ground mixed with it.Although Marietta quickly concealed herself in the cloak, everyone watched as her hair fell out in handfuls, and instead, curly hairs grew on her face and neck.

Those hairs seemed to be very hard, and her hands were pricked as soon as she covered them, and blood was left drop by drop, dyeing a large area of ​​the cloak red in a short while.

"My God, what is this!" Fudge was really frightened, and he shouted loudly, "Who did it? Who did this?"

"Hermione!" Marietta's miserable voice sounded, and she didn't know what happened again, and her blood flowed even more.

Suddenly, she simply stopped covering up and leaked all the tragedy.

She stared straight at Harry, her eyes full of resentment.
