Umrich was so pleased with herself that she did not realize that danger was upon her.
When they came to the first row of trees, Elaine was already baring her canine teeth.
If Umrich was standing next to Elaine, she would notice that the child's expression had turned strange.
Under her sleeves, Salazar Slytherin's wand was already in her hand. Her fingers were moving along with the movement of the wand.
Iven originally planned to walk a little further. This place was quite far from where Gloop was located, but he had no idea how impatient he was.
But Elaine had no patience. Since she was in a hurry, she would deal with Umrich here.
Elaine stopped. Elwyn and Hermione followed suit. The three of them turned to look at Umrich.
"What's wrong, dear? Are we there yet?" Umrich asked, pointing her wand at the three of them.
"No!" Elwyn said, "But for the rest of the journey, you will have to use a different method."
"What?"
"I've had enough of you, stupid toad!" Elaine said. Before Umrich could react, she swung her wand.
A dark red light flashed, and a chain locked Umrich.
Everything had happened so quickly that Umbridge hadn't even figured out what had happened.
"Why do you have wands?!" Her eyes widened, staring at the wands in Elwyn and Elaine's hands in disbelief.
Then, she looked down at the chain on her body. Her ugly mouth opened helplessly.
It was not until Elaine kicked her a few times that she realized what was going on.
Umrich kept twisting and struggling, trying to break free from the chain, but it only tightened.
Elijah kicked her a few more times fiercely. It felt like he had avenged all his grievances!
Of course, her strength was very small. She did not cause any harm to Umrich, but it was enough to anger her.
This humiliation was pure humiliation!
Being stepped on by a little girl was more humiliating to Umrich than being directly slapped in the face.
"Let me go, you three little bastards. Do you know what you're doing?" Umrich screamed, her ugly toad eyes widening. "You're screwed. I'm telling you, I'm going to fire you and send you to Azkaban. I'm the Senior Investigator of Hogwarts, the Senior Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Magic …"
"You're too noisy!" said Elwyn, flicking his wand up and sending her flying.
Umrich's short and stout body flew backward and crashed heavily into an oak tree, letting out a painful scream.
"You're crazy, Mason. I'm going to arrest you. You have no manners …"
"Silence, Professor!" Elwyn said, waving his wand. "Or I'll have to knock you out!"
Umrich shivered, seeming to understand the current situation.
"Let me go, Mason. I'll only treat this as a small joke. I won't hold it against you. Trust me." Umrich said in her usual sweet tone. "You can't do anything to me. You'll only bring trouble to yourselves. Don't ruin yourself because of a moment of impulse. The minister will be at Hogwarts tonight. Let me go before it's too late."
But only Elaine's foot responded. She stomped down hard, and Umrich let out another scream.
She began to curse Elaine so harshly that Elwyn had to shut her up.
"Alright, Elaine, kick her a few times to vent your anger!"
"She just said that Foggy is coming to Hogwarts?" asked Hermione.
She walked over to Umrich, ignoring her like Elaine did. Instead, she took out her and Elaine's wands.
"It's like this!" Elwyn recounted what had happened in her office.
Umrich listened quietly at first, but when she heard Elwyn lie to her that there were weapons in the Forbidden Forest, she began to writhe wildly again.
She must hate Elwyn to death now. She wanted nothing more than to come and kill him.
"What should we do now?" Hermione said, looking around the forest.
"I don't want to drink her blood!" said Elaine. "How about we kill her?"
Umrich stopped abruptly and looked at the three of them in horror.
Before this, she had never thought that they would kill her. Or rather, she hadn't thought in that direction.
That would be crazy, but now she found out that they dared to do it.
She shook her head forcefully, telling them not to. She wanted to beg for mercy, but she couldn't speak.
Elwyn was also sure that Umrich wouldn't say anything nice, nor would she provide any valuable information.
There was no need to listen. It was nothing more than stupid stuff like she was a senior deputy minister, as if she cared.
He knocked on Elaine's head. After training her for so long, this girl's head was still full of dangerous thoughts.
Until now, she still couldn't forget about killing Umrich.
If this wasn't Hogwarts and not under Dumbledore's watch, this would be the best way to deal with it.
But in school, Elwyn decided to follow the rules of Hogwarts.
And there was no need to dirty himself because of Umrich. There was no need and no value in doing so …
"I have an idea. Since she wants to find the weapon hidden in the forest, let's hand her over to Gloop and have him train her for a while." Elwyn said as he noticed the expression on Hermione's face. "Don't worry, Hermione, I know what I'm doing. I won't let her die, I'm just teaching her a lesson. But for now, she won't come after us again. Since we've already made our move, there's no turning back. We can only see this through. After we return from Gloop's place, we'll go to the headmaster's office and prepare to leave the school … "
Elwyn waved his wand and the chained Umrich slowly floated into the air.
"Leave the school and go to Norway?" Hermione asked.
"Elwyn, are you going to help my family solve that problem?"
"Yes, I'll go back and talk to your uncle first. I think there's a need to go to Norway." Elwyn said.
The three of them continued deeper into the forest. The light in the Forbidden Forest grew dimmer and the path became harder to traverse.
Beside them, Umbridge, who was under the control of magic, looked even more wretched.
Elwyn did not bother controlling her, he only had her keep up with the three of them.
In this way, she kept bumping into tree trunks, or straight through thorny bushes full of thorns.
But she could not make a sound, she could only stare at Elwyn.
"If Umrich goes missing, the Ministry of Magic will definitely send people into the Forbidden Forest to look for her." Hermione seemed worried.
"They won't succeed. This is not the forest of the Ministry of Magic." Elwyn said, "Be it centaur or Gloop, they won't be able to handle them. Not to mention, they don't have any intel, they don't even know where Umrich has gone, and they'll still send people after us."
The only one who could find Umrich in the Still Forest was Dumbledore, the headmaster would not help them.
The three of them walked for fifteen minutes towards the Eight-Eyed Spider's lair.
Hagrid originally planned to use a rope to tie Gloop deep in the Forbidden Forest, but after Elwyn's suggestion, he placed Gloop in Aragok's former cave. The place was big enough and had a hot spring, it was very suitable for Gloop to live in. Since it was once the Eight-Eyed Spider's territory, there were no other animals nearby.
When that time came, Glop just had to hide Umbridge in the depths of the cave and do whatever he wanted …
