"Think about what she has done. Hasn't she been discriminating against other creatures? This is the punishment she deserves!" Elwyn said.
"But …"
"Just for a few days. Hermione, teach her a lesson. Let her out when you return."
Elwyn removed the magic from Umrich and handed it over to Glop.
Seeing Glop place Umrich in the cave, Hermione wanted to say something, but in the end, she did not.
Elwyn was right. This was a punishment for her. She deserved it. When they returned, they could let her go.
When that time came, Elwyn would use magic to make her forget this painful memory.
The next period of time would be a test of Umrich's patience.
Accompanying a giant would definitely be an unimaginable torture. Glop did not have that much patience.
Umrich also needed to learn how to get along with giants. Her old ways were not going to work.
Glop did not care about her identity. The Ministry of Magic and the Education Order would not be able to restrain giants.
Thinking about it this way, this was actually a good thing for her.
How did the saying go again? Suffering was the most valuable wealth in life …
She needed to learn how to treat giants well and please Glop to get food from him.
Iven, Hermione, and Elijah bade farewell to Gloop and returned to the school. As soon as they entered the castle, they saw Professor Mag, who had a serious expression on her face, appear in front of them. Harry, who was still confused, followed behind her.
"Where's Umrich?" Professor Meg asked.
"In the forest. She asked us to come back first. She wants to stay there alone for a while," Elwyn said directly.
"The Forbidden Forest?! Alright, follow me, the headmaster wants to see you! " Professor Meg said, looking nervous. She added, "Remember, don't say anything. Don't say that you've seen Umrich and that the head of the Ministry of Magic is there."
Foggy moved rather quickly. It seemed that he had planned to have a showdown with Dumbledore tonight.
The impact of that report was beyond his imagination. It brought him enormous pressure, and he was not prepared to wait any longer.
Even without Umrich's so-called major breakthrough, the Ministry of Magic had enough intelligence.
Harry was the only one who hadn't figured out what was going on.
Now was not the time to explain to him, and they did not know how to tell him. Could they tell him that they had thrown Umrich to the giants?!
According to Professor Meg, they had to pretend that they didn't know where Umrich had gone.
A few minutes later, they reached the stone monster.
"Zi zi, bee candy," said Professor Meg.
The stone monster jumped to the side, and the wall behind it split in half. They walked up the moving stone stairs and came to the bright door.
She knocked lightly on the door and led them in.
At that moment, Dumbledore's office was full of people.
Dumbledore sat behind his desk with a serene expression, the tips of his slender fingers pressed together.
Foggy stood by the fire, rocking back and forth excitedly, clearly satisfied with the current situation.
It wasn't just the major breakthrough that Umrich had mentioned. The Ministry of Magic had also obtained important intelligence.
Kingsley Shackle and another wizard stood like guards on either side of the door. The wizard looked strong and had short, straight hair.
Percy Weasley, with freckles and glasses, paced excitedly by the wall, not even looking at Elwyn and the others.
In his hands was a quill and a thick roll of parchment, clearly ready to record at any time.
On the wall, the portraits of the old headmasters were not pretending to sleep. They were all alert and serious, watching the movements below and discussing quietly.
Foggy's conversation with Dumbledore had made them realize that the current situation was not good.
"Headmaster, I've brought them here!" Professor Meg said.
"Where's Dolores?" Foggy asked, looking angrily at Elwyn, Harry, Hermione, and Elaine.
"I don't know!" Elwyn said, noticing that Foggy's gaze finally fell on him.
"Don't lie, Mason. There's magic in Umrich's office, and we know that you left her office with her an hour ago. I also received a letter from her saying that you told her everything!"
"Well, Mr. Minister, then we parted ways!" Elwyn said.
"Where were you all this time?"
"I was with the two of them," Elwyn said, pointing at Hermione and Elaine.
"What were you doing?"
"Obviously, doing something happy," Elwyn replied curtly.
"Something happy?" Foggy was taken aback. He looked at Elwyn, then shifted his gaze to Hermione and Elaine behind him.
"Yes, we were studying in an empty classroom. Learning makes me happy!"
"I don't have time for your nonsense!" Foggy said, his tone now full of anger. "What did you say to Dolores?"
"She asked me where they were in the Forbidden Forest, and I told her. It's that simple." Elwyn paused, looked at the angry Foggy, and added unhurriedly, "I think Professor Umrich went over herself."
"Aha, that's it. That must be it. She must have gone over to confirm it herself!" Foggy waved his fist and turned to look at Dumbledore. "Dumbledore, how are you going to explain this time? You heard him, he said that the weapon …"
"I'm sorry, Cornelius, Elwyn didn't say anything about a weapon." Dumbledore said calmly. "At least I didn't hear it. They could have found anything in the Forbidden Forest, maybe a rock or some animal."
"It's the centaurs, Professor!" Elwyn quickly said, "You know, there's a group of centaurs living in the Forbidden Forest. I have a good relationship with them. Professor Umrich thought about the centaurs and called me over. I told her the location of the centaur tribe, but she seemed very angry and kept emphasizing that centaurs are not allowed to live in the Hogwarts' Forbidden Forest. She seemed to think that they are very dangerous and compared them to a threatening weapon. As the Senior Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Magic and the Senior Investigator of the Hogwarts, she wants to inform the centaurs to leave this place and leave this land."
"Centaurs?!" Foggy was furious. "Dolores would never go into the forest for some centaur."
