Elwyn did not have a deep understanding of witchcraft, but he had done some research on it.
The witchcraft on the quill was to transform one's blood. Although he did not know much about witchcraft, he knew a few similar dark spells. As long as he studied them carefully, he should be able to dispel the witchcraft on the quill …
That was what he thought. If it really did not work, he could ask Lavier for help.
The girl they met at Gringotts in Egypt was very proficient in witchcraft, and her family had a long history.
Of course, this was only the first step. Dispelling the magic on the quill did not prove anything, and it would not be of much help in chasing Umrich away. However, it could at least prevent other people from being hurt like this in the future. If it could be countered, it could also completely stop Umrich from carrying out such cruel punishments in the future.
To fight against such a Sorcerer, being too upright and having a bottom line was actually the biggest obstacle and also the biggest weakness.
He had to admit that Soul Snatching Spells, poisoning, cursing, and imprisoning might be simpler and more effective.
He definitely could not do these things. Elwyn did not want to lower himself to the level of the evil Dark Sorcerers.
Dumbledore and the professors in the school would definitely not agree to it. If they were found out, they would be locked up in Azkaban at any time.
Moreover, Elwyn was sure that these extreme methods would definitely be found out.
However, he was considering whether he should abandon his previous ideas and take a slightly more radical approach.
Since he had already started a direct confrontation, he might as well do it more thoroughly …
For example, his attempt to break into Umrich's office was a good start. Other than finding that damned black quill, he could also check Umrich's personal letters and various other information to see if there was anything valuable. He might even find evidence of her crimes.
She had done so many bad things, it was impossible that there was no evidence left behind.
If he really found something, then everything would be much simpler!
Elwyn came to Umrich's office, waved his wand lightly, and the door opened.
He had confirmed in advance that Umrich was not in the office. She had probably gone to check up on Professor Meg's Transfiguration class. She still had to teach the third-year students Defense Against Dark Magic during the second period, so she would not be back for a while.
Elwyn walked in. Other than the ugly cats playing in the plates on the wall, the office was very quiet.
He gently closed the door, then immediately stopped with a frown.
"Oh, no!" Elwyn pointed his wand at the plates, and all the cats on them stopped.
This was a monitoring spell. If someone broke into the office, Umrich would be notified immediately by the cat.
In addition, there seemed to be many defensive spells hidden in the room. The woman was very careful.
Elwyn had never seen a normal person so careful. However, these were all basic spells that could be easily deciphered. He waved his wand and checked Umrich's desk. The drawers were opened layer by layer.
Everything flew out and formed a circle in the air, quickly flitting past his eyes.
Pieces of parchment flew into Elwyn's hands, and he glanced at them briefly before letting them fly back into the air.
Among them, Elwyn saw the letter that Umrich had written to Foggy the night before, Foggy's reply, and the parts that had not yet been sent. She had roughly categorized everyone in the Hogwarts into several categories.
Foggy only had one goal, and that was to get Dumbledore out of the school, no matter what.
His suggestion to Umrich was to use her power as a senior investigator to get rid of a professor as soon as possible, try to challenge Dumbledore's authority, make him lose his prestige in the school, and prevent the students from practicing any magic related to dueling.
Also, she had to pay more attention to Elwyn and Harry and pay close attention to what they did.
At Umrich's request, the latest Education Order No. 24 was being drafted as soon as possible and was expected to be passed next week.
The core of this Education Order was that the senior investigator would have the highest authority over all punishments, sanctions, and deprivation of rights involving the students of the Hogwarts in the future, and would have the right to amend such punishments, sanctions, and deprivation of rights imposed by other teachers.
When the time came, Umrich would be able to take out her quill again, and no one would be able to object.
In addition, Elwyn also saw a suggestion that Filch had written for Umrich. The caretaker of the Hogwarts castle seemed to have taken refuge with Umrich at the first opportunity, and enthusiastically provided management advice on the use of various punishments for the students, including the restoration of whipping, caning, and so on.
What Elwyn cared about most was a letter that Lucius Malfoy had written to Umrich.
In the letter, he asked her to take care of Draco in the school and promised to give her the necessary support and help for her reform.
Umrich was already in contact with Lucius, but she was definitely not a Death Eater.
But this was nothing. This was not because she was not evil enough, but because there was no chance …
In the end, Iven found the black quill and replaced it with a new one.
While Elwyn was rummaging in Umrich's office, she was sitting in Professor Meg's Transfiguration class.
Because of what happened last night, she listed Professor Meg's class as the first to be inspected.
The atmosphere in the class was tense. The students looked back from time to time, but Professor Meg did not seem to see Umrich.
"This is your first transformation class this semester. After you enter the fifth grade, you will have to face the O.W. Ls exam. I don't need to emphasize the importance of this exam again. What I want to tell you is that if you don't study, practice, and apply it seriously, you won't be able to pass the O.W. Ls exam," Professor Mag said seriously. "I think …"
"Ahem, ahem." Umrich, who was sitting at the back of the class, coughed.
It was the same cough she used on the first night of school to interrupt Dumbledore's stupid cough. Professor Meg pretended not to hear it.
"I think that as long as you put in the time and effort, there is no reason why all the students in this class can't get the O.W. Ls certificate for the Transfiguration class."
"Ahem, ahem." Umrich coughed again.
Professor Meg did not even look at her. Instead, he stared at Neville, who did not have much confidence.
"Yes, you too, Longbottom," she said. "There is nothing wrong with your operation. You just lack confidence, so …"
"Ahem, ahem." Umrich stood up.
"What?" Professor Meg said, looking at her unhappily.
