The wizards of the Special Investigation Task Force gathered in twos and threes at the door of Umrich's office. They had all received the news that they had been summoned. But after waiting for a long time, Umrich's office door was still closed.
Emily lowered her head and quietly leaned against the wall. Her long, curly eyelashes trembled slightly. Pency leaned against her side, but she no longer dared to stroke her head like before and treat Emily like a child. Ever since the night of the first gathering at Umrich's place before Christmas, she had accidentally seen Emily sitting expressionlessly in front of the makeup mirror and suddenly showing a sweet smile. She kept practicing her sweetest look and tried to say "a basket of kisses" in different tones. She could no longer treat this little girl nicknamed Sweet Bear as an innocent and ignorant little girl. Now that she thought about it, Emily had told the members of the Special Investigation Task Force that Gryffindor's Quidditch players did not like her so that her brother Allen's team could easily win the next game.
As if noticing Pency's gaze, Emily raised her head and gave Pency an equally sweet smile. Then she frowned and tapped the ground with her little leather boots. "Pency, I'm a little tired from standing."
"I'll go ask." Pency stood up decisively and walked to the door of Umrich's office. She reached out and was about to knock on the door when she heard Umrich's voice talking to a man. She wanted to hear more clearly, but the voice stopped abruptly. She hesitated for a moment and gently knocked on the door three times. As soon as the third knock fell, a dazzling fire burst out from the gap in the door.
Umrich's voice came from the room. "Please wait for me for a while."
After the fire disappeared, the office door was opened after a long time. Umrich pulled Ron's collar and walked out. Her expression was no longer as complacent as before. Instead, she seemed to have a lot on her mind.
"Argus, please take everyone and surround all the entrances and exits on the eighth floor of the castle." Umrich said to Argus. Filch gave a few instructions before handing Ron over to Crabbe and Gore. He ordered, "Look after him, my boys."
"Miss Eckmo, you follow behind Miss Parkinson." Umrich grabbed a girl who had been burying her head in her collar outside her office and pushed her to Pency's side.
Umrich left the office with her head held high and gave Filch a look to keep an eye on everyone. Filch nodded knowingly.
"Looks like Potter is doomed this time. But if that's the case, even if Allen knows about it, he can't blame us." Pan Xi noticed the exchange of glances between Umbridge and Filch, and understood that the other party wanted Filch to monitor the special investigation team.
"Honey bee, honey bee." Umrich stood in front of the principal's office and said rhythmically. The stone monster jumped to the side, and the wall behind it split in half. She walked up the moving stone stairs and came to the bright door. There was a lion's body and eagle's head on the door, but Umrich didn't bother to knock on the door. She walked straight in.
The office was full of people. Dumbledore sat behind the desk with a serene expression, his slender fingers clasped together. Professor McGonagall stood upright beside him, looking very nervous. The head of the Ministry of Magic, Connelly?? Foggy stood by the fire and swayed back and forth excitedly. He was clearly very satisfied with the current situation. Rufus?? Scrimgeour and a few other wizards dressed as Aura stood on both sides of the door like guards. A few TV station staff members were holding up their cameras to record everything that was happening in front of them.
Percy with freckles and glasses?? Weasley paced back and forth excitedly by the wall. He had a quill and a thick roll of parchment in his hands, clearly ready to record at any time.
"I've already sent people to surround the entire eighth floor," Umrich said. There was an unseemly excitement in her voice.
"Very good," Foggy praised. "So, Dumbledore, we've discovered an illegal student organization in this school. It's Dumbledore's Army. Perhaps you can tell me what's going on?"
"Oh, Dumbledore's Army?" Dumbledore's face showed an expression of disbelief. It was as if he didn't know anything and was very surprised.
"Head, I think," Umrich said gently beside Foggy, "if we go directly to the scene, we might progress faster."
"Yes, yes. Let's go." Foggy nodded and gestured for Umrich to lead the way. He glanced at Dumbledore maliciously. "Nothing can compare to seeing with your own eyes, right, Dumbledore? Also, please bring your bird with you. "
Foggy lifted his chin in Fox's direction. "Let's go." Aura from the Ministry of Magic immediately approached. The reason why Umrich took such a risk was to prevent Dumbledore from using the Phoenix's ability to make Harry escape. It wasn't until Foggy and the others went to the headmaster's office to keep an eye on Dumbledore that she dared to make a real move. After all, she had just seen the Phoenix's ability up close in her office. For this reason, she had to agree to some unreasonable conditions behind Foggy's back.
After calming herself down, Umrich took the lead and a group of people followed behind her. They went straight to the fourth floor with great momentum.
In the Everything Is Granted room, Harry and the others were practicing the Guardian Charm. Suddenly, Hannah rushed in and shouted in horror, "We're surrounded. I just saw Filch leading the Special Investigation Team to surround this place. It seems like Umrich is no longer satisfied with Filch guarding this place alone!"
Everyone stopped practicing and stared blankly at Hannah.
"Umrich must have found something. Could it be related to the new interrogation notice?" Harry said with a frown. He couldn't help but feel a little regretful. Although they saw the notice in the afternoon, they didn't pay much attention to it. He believed that no one would be willing to betray them for Umrich. As a Gryffindor, he didn't intend to give in and change his original training plan.
Seamus looked around the room. "Ron hasn't come yet. Could he have been caught?"
"Don't forget that Ron is often late." Neville defended Ron.
Autumn?? Zhang's face was pale. She raised her hand and said, "Marietta hasn't arrived yet. She's usually not late."
"What should we do now?" Hannah shrieked. She was a little scared at the thought of Umrich's punishments.
Harry straightened up and glanced at the panicked people. He appeared very calm. "They can't come in anyway!" However, the wand in his hand betrayed him. He couldn't think of a good idea at the moment. Instead, he thought, "If only Hermione or Allen were here."
"Why do we have to guard this empty corridor?" Dumbledore asked calmly with his hands clasped.
Umrich pulled Ron, who was still in a daze, to the front. "Ron Weasley? He told me that tonight, in a secret room on the eighth floor of the castle called the Everything Is Granted room, the illegal organization of Dumbledore's Army is usually led by Harry Potter. There, Mr. Potter held an illegal meeting. "
Dumbledore glanced at the dazed Ron and said in a low voice, "Looking at Mr. Weasley's current state, I'm afraid that his words can't be used as evidence. The credibility isn't high. Obviously, this wasn't his own will. In addition, I seriously suspect that Mr. Weasley was illegally given truth-telling serum. Hogwarts forbids the use of truth-telling serum on students. It's protected and recognized by the law issued by the British Ministry of Magic. "
Foggy frowned, but Umrich smiled sweetly. "Minister, Headmaster Dumbledore, we have another informant, a sane one."
