Chapter 248 Umbridge Vs. Ordinary Students
[Sorry, I missed Chapter 246, and I have added the content. ]
Chen Bin followed his instructions and turned to the preface, and was speechless for a moment. The preface to the reprint was written by Albus Dumbledore. He mentioned that he had a lot of trouble to get Irma Pince, the Hogwarts librarian, to take out the book, and had to pry her fingers off the book one by one.
Chen Bin turned to the last page and saw that the book was indeed borrowed from the library. The last borrower was Dumbledore, and it happened today, that is, he borrowed the book as soon as he came back.
Looking at the borrowing records, Harry, Ron, and Hermione all borrowed it to read. Basically, the Quidditch players of the academy have also read this book, and Hermione has borrowed it twice, the first time before the first-year "Flying Lesson".
Dumbledore is a hidden Quidditch fan and was invited to write the preface. Although Grindelwald was imprisoned in the castle, he could still read books related to Dumbledore. It just so happens that the memory of these two genius old men has reached the abnormal level. After looking at the young photos of O'Hare in the book, they can compare his current middle-aged appearance.
"Is it possible that he was disguised by the Polyjuice Potion?" Chen Bin was a little unconfident about this speculation. You know, they also played a transformation battle today. Last year, they also used the same trick to deceive Voldemort. Crouch Jr. also used the same method to pretend to be Moody.
"If nothing unexpected happens, it is him." Dumbledore shook his head and said affirmatively: "I will send someone to his residence to look for him later, but he should be the decision maker of the underground Ministry of Magic. Since he quit Quidditch, he has been saying in the past few decades that the Irish magic world should be separated from the UK like the Muggle society. The black-robed man who was killed today is very likely to be a member of the underground Ministry of Magic."
Chen Bin was silent. This speculation is very reasonable.
Now Voldemort has become the focus of the European magic world. Even if the dark wizards on the European continent are famous, they would rather continue to act as lone wolves than join the Death Eaters. Everyone knows that acting alone will also be attacked by the local Ministry of Magic, but joining Voldemort will become the number one target of extermination in Europe, and dark wizards will also cherish their lives!
Excluding these dark wizards attacked by various magic ministries, Voldemort, as the most wanted criminal in the entire magic world, will not be able to recruit too many subordinates. It just so happens that the group of Irish underground magic ministry members who are courting death are the best targets.
They are already a terrorist organization in the British magic world, and will not pay attention to any wanted orders from the entire magic world. In fact, the more chaotic the magic world is, the easier it is to force all walks of life to recognize their independent status.
"That is to say, the people who worked for Voldemort during this period, and the dark wizards who attacked Muggle society everywhere, are likely to be underground magic ministry forces?" Chen Bin asked uncertainly.
"Very likely." Grindelwald said disdainfully: "Voldemort can only recruit this kind of stuff as guns at most, but this time almost half of their main force was killed."
Dumbledore added: "Next, the Auror Office and the strike team will visit the residents in the Irish area and count the missing people to know the result."
Chen Bin has nothing to add, Dumbledore's methods are stronger than him.
In this battle, Dumbledore and Grindelwald once again calculated Voldemort's psychology, and in Chen Bin's eyes, Voldemort was hooked out without any logic.
Unfortunately, even if Grindelwald's full-strength burst of the killing curse hit Voldemort, the latter could still hold on.
Chen Bin held a meeting in the principal's office for more than an hour, and even took out the magic resistance ring to test Grindelwald. The result also made Chen Bin speechless: 17 mice, only one more than Dumbledore. This is 8.075 times according to Chen Bin's theory, but is it interesting?
For example, Dumbledore's 18 are between 8.55 and 9.025 times, and as long as 0.01 more is added, one more can be summoned. Similarly, Grindelwald's 17 are between 8.075 and 8.54 times.
However, the 20% compound power increase is determined by the integer of magic output, such as 8 times output has 28 times the power (8x3.58 =28.67), 9 times output has 38 times the power (9x4.30 =38.70), and this mouse test method cannot distinguish such a difference.
There are no precise instruments and theories in this world to distinguish these power differences. Further research will be like the experiment that old Dubrovsky and his old friends participated in.
However, is Grindelwald willing?
Chen Bin did not ask so tactlessly, but instead inquired about the current level of the power of the female version of Voldemort.
"From the fight just now, I guess it should be about 9 times in normal state, and about 10 times after activating the dark magic secret technique, but definitely not 11 times." Dumbledore thought for a moment and gave a rough range.
Chen Bin calculated that the power was still too terrifying. He would be killed in seconds if he went on the field, especially his fighting skills were obviously far inferior to those of the three demon kings.
After the special training of the old man, he could indeed lock Voldemort, but he was not yet able to hit wherever he pointed. At least, when she avoided, Chen Bin could not lock her vital points and could only remove her arms.
However, Chen Bin's true energy could only support him to shoot out one attack. Even if he hit it with two separate bursts, it might not be able to break the defense, just like Grindelwald's green pillar hit her but could only make her body pause.
"Can you guess how much magic power she loses every month?" As soon as Chen Bin finished speaking, Grindelwald immediately sneered: "Do you know how much she weakened after becoming a daughter? Don't ask blindly if you don't understand. "
Chen Bin was choked again and had nothing to say.
After the three discussed for a while to no avail, Chen Bin handed Dumbledore the radar composed of four Horcruxes, and then went downstairs to find Kate.
Unconsciously, February has arrived, bringing warmer and humid weather.
This morning, in the seventh-grade "Defense Against the Dark Arts" class, an alarm suddenly sounded. This was a damn mock battle, and Umbridge was sick of it.
The students, all wearing protective gear, immediately put on their helmets and drew their wands when they heard the siren.
"You are not allowed to take out your wand in my class." Umbridge said with a livid face.
"No, the moment the siren sounds, it is the military training time of the Civil Security Team under the Defense Department." Cedric had already put on his helmet, and was not afraid of the old witch discovering his identity, so he laughed and said: "Don't think your power is greater than Defense Secretary Gao, are you planning to commit treason?”
"I order you to take off your helmet!" Umbridge said angrily.
Another girl patted Cedric and said with a pinched voice: "Let's go, Peter, that pink bitch doesn't dare to chase him out of the classroom door. He has a position in "Defense Against the Dark Arts" without any skills, too Disgusting."
After saying that, all the students rushed out of the classroom in order, and the sound of magic spells flying around could be heard in the corridor.
Umbridge knew that they would use fake names when they put on their helmets, and even if they knew their identities, there would be no evidence. Now if she dares to use Veritaserum on a student, she will definitely be sentenced to Azkaban. Dumbledore had spies all over the castle, so she wasn't going to take the risk just to punish the students.
"Is it really wrong for me to support Fudge this time?" She muttered to herself, and then quickly became firm again. From the moment she took Fudge's side, there was no turning back.
Wednesday morning, February 14th, the second trip to Hogsmeade this school year.
Harry rubbed his eyes and climbed out of bed, looking at his watch. It's good, it's still early, so I can sleep all day without being disturbed. The Auror training in the past two months was not done by humans, not to mention a lot of combat knowledge and practice. Just using the wand set given to him by Sister Isha made him shoot magic spells until he almost vomited.
In the past practical training, wizards of his level were most afraid of insufficient magic power and restricted training. However, when he was numb from ejaculation, he missed the easy training with limited magic power.
It was a rare day off, and he had already turned down Qiu Zhang's appointment, so he could sleep well that day.
"Hey, Harry. We made an appointment with Hermione to visit Hogsmeade together." Ron had already finished dressing up. When he came back, he saw Harry lying on the bed and immediately stepped forward to shake him. "Hermione is waiting for us in the common room."
"I'm not going." Harry said vaguely: "She won't date Rita Skeeter, and Luna won't be featured in her father's magazine...I'm not dating Cho Chang. Date... sleep is more important than anything else on this day..."
Ron was stunned for a while before he realized what he was talking about in the prophecy. I believe he was really exhausted.
"Okay then, I'll go downstairs and tell Hermione that you should have a good rest." After Ron finished speaking, he trotted to the common room.
When Harry fell asleep, Ron and Hermione were discussing the content of the prophecy in the Three Broomsticks pub for a while, and Hermione suddenly froze.
"What's the matter?" Ron stretched out his hand and waved it in front of her eyes, and she immediately whispered: "Look over there, my nine o'clock direction."
Ron followed the instructions and peeked over, and then immediately turned to stone!
The Eastern European administrator who usually patrols after-school activities is nestling in Sirius's arms with a happy face.
The two of them were sitting at the bar not far from them, kissing obsessively, with saliva flowing down their chins. It could even be described as wild!
"Didn't Bin say that the Eastern European beauty doesn't like Sirius?" Ron said in a low voice.
"I think I heard him say that." Hermione wasn't too sure. She was busy reading during this time and didn't pay attention to the actions of the people around her.
Then, an idea flashed in her mind, and she remembered an old news item.
"I think Administrator Dubrovskaya just likes Sirius' wealth." Hermione snorted.
"What?" Ron asked in confusion: "Isn't he a pauper?"
"Didn't you read the newspaper?" Hermione saw Ron shaking his head ignorantly, and then explained: "Since Bellatrix Lestrange and her husband were also sanctioned by the Dementor's Kiss, The Ministry of Magic finally ruled two weeks ago that their inheritance would be transferred to their blood relatives. It just so happened that all their blood relatives were closely related to the Death Eaters, and Bellatrix had inherited the Black family. Most of their property. In the end, the case went through for a long time and all their properties were finally handed over to Sirius. I think that from this moment on, Dubrovskaya became interested in Sirius."
