Chapter 1060 Harry is fearless
Harry took a deep breath and walked into the stone stairs leading to the principal's office. He finally stopped in front of the griffin door knocker, reached out and tapped on the wooden door three times, and pushed the door open without waiting for a response from inside. Go into the principal's office.
Ignoring the gazes of other people, Harry glanced across the already crowded office and landed on Dumbledore. The old man was sitting behind the desk, with a serene expression on his slender fingers, and he smiled at Harry after he entered the room, as if everything that happened right now was under his control. Professor McGonagall next to Bullido had a very nervous expression.
Minister of Magic Cornelius Fudge, whom Harry hated so much, was also here. He was standing by the fireplace, and he was a little excited when he saw Harry appearing. He probably thought he had a handle and could finally fire Harry.
This really made Harry feel extremely ridiculous. He really didn't understand what was stuffed in Fudge's mind, shit?
It's surprising that a minister can be so stupid.
The guard next to Fudge is an acquaintance of Harry, Kingsley Shacklebolt, a member of the Order of the Phoenix, and Harry pretends not to know him. There were several other guards that Harry didn't recognize, and the last one was Ron's brother Percy Weasley, who was always ready to record what happened here with quill and parchment in his hand.
To Harry's surprise, he didn't see the "traitor" here.
"Yeah!"
Cornelius Fudge shot Harry a look of schadenfreude.
"Okay? I don't feel good. I heard that you released all the prisoners of Azkaban." Harry's heart was beating fast, but his mind was surprisingly calm and sober, and he directly interrupted Fudge's savings. His imposing manner blocked what the other party wanted to say, and incidentally diverted the topic.
"What?"
Fudge was obviously confused by Harry's words, probably didn't expect Harry to say such a sentence suddenly.
"I heard that you deliberately released the prisoners of Azkaban." Harry let his indifferent voice over Fudge, looked at the guy with soaring blood pressure in front of him, and continued, "Don't be angry, I didn't slander You. Before those Death Eaters escaped, the Ministry of Magic received news that the Death Eaters in Azkaban were about to escape, and you turned a blind eye to it."
"Bullshit, blah blah blah." Fudge blushed, his angry snarl echoing through the office.
Not only Professor McGonagall, but even the portraits in the office stared at this scene dumbfounded. For some reason, Fudge, who was angry and roaring, always felt ridiculous like a clown.
"But ten Death Eaters escaped and ran away, and many people knew that the Death Eaters were going to escape, so there's no point in yelling at me." Harry looked at him with his face flushed like Uncle Vernon's. Fudge raised his lips slightly and asked, "I'm just curious, you have so much time to interfere with Hogwarts, why don't you spend your precious time on catching Death Eaters? Or do you think that Hogwarts There are many descendants of Death Eaters here, it is worthy of the Ministry of Magic to pay special attention to whether they will become Death Eaters in the future?"
"It seems that you don't even have the minimum upbringing..."
"Are you worthy of my respect?" Harry interrupted, "If you don't believe me, go to the Hogwarts hall to see if you are worthy of respect as a minister, and to see if Hogwarts students welcome you." You, still throwing dung bombs at you."
"Do you dare? No, you don't dare. With all the **** you've done at Hogwarts in the past six months, believe it or not, a group of students will drive you out of Hogwarts with dung bombs." Harry sneered. .
To be honest, even the Aurors were shocked by Potter's astonishing words, but just think about the group of students outside the office, this kind of thing can really happen, Fudge has done really poorly in the past six months.
Before everyone could react, Harry continued to taunt: "Didn't you realize that the reputation of the Ministry of Magic has become worse than a piece of toilet paper, if I guessed correctly, Since the last time you rejected Sirius Black's bounty and were unwilling to pay the bounty for catching Peter Pettigrew, no one is willing to provide information to the Ministry of Magic anymore."
All the people present stared at Harry dumbfounded. They never expected that the young savior would be so tough. Judging from his tone and style, he didn't take Fudge seriously at all.
"Enough, enough, I'm not here today to talk nonsense to you." Fudge growled out of composure, obviously completely irritated by Harry.
"Calm down, Minister." Kingsley reminded in a deep and slow voice.
"Don't change the subject of Potter." Fudge glanced at Kingsley, took a deep breath and said, "Someone gave us information that you are secretly organizing an illegal organization and teaching students black magic."
"Oh? Who said that? What about the evidence? Are you sure someone is not referring to your own people?" Harry asked three times indifferently, making Fudge's anger rise again, "Or, have you guys deliberately done it recently? I'm flattered that I changed the laws of the Ministry of Magic."
"However, since you want to frame me, you must show evidence." Harry said calmly, "Without evidence, don't think that you are the Minister of Magic, so you can slander me at will."
"Of course we have evidence. I'll go and bring someone, maybe the progress will be faster." Umbridge walked into the fireplace with green flames, and soon came out with a girl.
Harry has no impression of the girl in front of him, she is definitely not a member of DA. Of course, even if it was, he wouldn't be able to recognize it, because there are quite a lot of DA members.
"Miss Eckmore told us everything." Umbridge put on a disgusting smile.
"Did you use Veritaserum on her?" Harry asked suddenly.
"What?"
This question really caught Umbridge a little off guard.
"I said you used Veritaserum on poor Miss Aikemo?" Harry glanced at Dumbledore after finishing speaking, he didn't believe that Dumbledore couldn't see it.
"Of course not," said Umbridge dryly.
"Since not, then why do you think her words are true? Just because of her few words, you can slander me?" Harry turned his head to stare at Umbridge, and sneered, "As far as I know, Umbridge Professor Rich, you yourself formed an organization called the Toad Alliance at Hogwarts, intending to overthrow the current Minister of Magic Fudge, don't rush to refute, I have a lot of evidence."
"Members of the Toad League will wear the toad badge that symbolizes the Toad League, and the students in the whole school know about it." Harry said to Fudge, "If you don't believe me, you can ask some students outside to ask , you will know whether I have lied or not."
Not only Fudge was a little dazed, but even the other Aurors were dumbfounded, what was the Toad Alliance, and from Harry Potter's determined tone, it seemed that all the students in Hogwarts knew about it.
"How dare you insult me like that." The smirk on Umbridge's face finally couldn't be maintained anymore,
"Insult, I dare not insult you, most of the students in Hogwarts know about this." Harry sneered, "If you don't believe me, you can ask other students about this, compared to your unsubstantiated slander, I was able to find a bunch of witnesses to prove my words."
"I still have evidence of your activities here."
Umbridge took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, took out a few pieces of parchment from his pocket, and said, "You established an organization called DA in October last year. Don't deny it. I have your detailed information here. activity sheet, you use the Self-Defense Guide as your study material."
"DA?"
Fudge took the parchment, chewed it carefully and said, "Dumbledore's Army?"
"Are you sure you didn't make that thing yourself?" Harry couldn't help mocking, "Honestly, I can make up a bunch of things like this, and are you sure there really is a book called "Guide to Self-Defense" Is it? If so, would you show it to me?"
"Of course, the book is here." Umbridge took out a copy of "Guide to Self-Defense" from somewhere and handed it to Fudge.
"Are you sure you didn't find someone to print this, as far as I know, there is no shop that sells this stuff?" Harry walked up to the young witch without looking at Fudge and Umbridge, and said : "Okay, assuming you used Veritaserum on this poor lady, then I'll ask a simple question. Miss Aikemo, do you join the so-called DA organization?"
"No," Marietta said.
"Look, this poor lady didn't join the so-called DA organization, why do you think her words are true." Harry turned his head to look at Fudge who was flipping through the book, and asked back.
He didn't know where Umbridge got the "Guide to Self-Defense", but he wasn't worried at all that it would become evidence, not to mention that the "Guide to Self-Defense" was never published, not many people had seen it, and you really Think Anderson is hot?
"Of course, we have other evidence."
Umbridge had a successful smirk on his face, which gave Harry a bad feeling.
"Mr. Colin Creevey confessed to us the entire process of your establishment of DA, and provided the list of members who initially established DA."
"You used Veritaserum on an innocent student. I remember it was a prohibited item!" Harry looked at Dumbledore in feigned surprise, "So the Ministry of Magic has such a privilege?"
"We only added two drops of Veritaserum to him. Don't worry, the effect won't have any bad effect on Mr. Colin Creevey..." Umbridge was actually forced to do nothing, otherwise he would definitely Fudge would not know about it.
Of course, she believes that as long as Dumbledore's guilt can be established, or Potter can be expelled, Fudge will pretend that it didn't happen.
"Dolores..."
"As far as I know, Umbridge often used Veritaserum to torture students in school. Everyone thought you, the Minister of Magic, acquiesced." Harry sneered.
"Minister, in special times, we need to use special methods." Umbridge said softly, "As long as the dose of Veritaserum is controlled, asking a few simple questions will not cause harm to students. Harry Potter , if you think you are innocent, then why don't you take a small amount of Veritaserum in front of Dumbledore and answer a few questions? If you are innocent, I will immediately and solemnly apologize to you and resign from Hoag All of Watts' work."
"It really taught me a lot. The deputy minister of the Ministry of Magic has openly violated the laws of the Ministry of Magic. Are you secretly using the Cruciatus Curse to torture other students?" Harry made no secret of his disdain and sarcasm. He also secretly thought it was a pity, if he had brought the antidote of Veritaserum, Fudge and Umbridge would have been completely reduced to the laughingstock of the magic world today.
"Since you dare not, I still have other evidence." Umbridge disappeared into the fireplace again, and reappeared shortly afterwards, holding a student in one hand, and the two looked similar to Miss Eckmore's situation .
"Dolores, how dare you do this to my students." Dumbledore showed an angry expression for the first time after seeing Ginny and Colin. He could see that Umbridge used too much spit on them. The real potion, without giving them a chance to ask, Dumbledore directly pulled out his wand and brought down Colin Creevey and Ginny Weasley.
"It seems that the evidence is solid."
said Fudge cheerily, completely forgetting about Umbridge's use of Veritaserum.
"Don't you know that using too much Veritaserum may cause irreversible damage to the brain?" Dumbledore ignored the excited Fudge, but stared at Umbridge, the anger in his eyes Umbridge couldn't help taking a step back.
"Stop him," Umbridge screamed.
"catch him."
The Aurors looked at each other, instead of trying to confront Dumbledore, they stood in front of Fudge and Umbridge to protect their safety.
"Minerva, send Mr. Creevey, Miss Weasley, and Miss Eckmore to the school hospital, and ask Bobby to examine them." After Dumbledore ordered, he looked at Fudge and said calmly, "I Know what you want to do, I was told long ago that this day will come, but I have to remind you, Connelly, you made a wrong decision, so what if you take me down, you can never change The fact that Voldemort has been resurrected, his return is doomed, and the answer you give is bound to disappoint."
"Believe me, not everyone is as talkative as I am, you will regret it soon, and no one will forgive you by then, believe me, no one will." Dumbledore's voice was so cold that several people fell down Take a breath.
"I don't know what you're talking about," said Fudge panicked.
"Well, as you wish, I admit it, Dumbledore's Army. I recruited these students just to see if they would cooperate with me to remove you from the position of Minister of Magic, just like I spread your This summer is about to collapse." Dumbledore chuckled softly, "It seems that you are a real failure in life, nearly half of the students are willing to join and watch the collapse."
"You're plotting against me!" cried Fudge excitedly.
"Yes, I'm glad you figured this out." Dumbledore said with relief, "Actually, even if I didn't do that, the result is already doomed."
"Weasley, have you made it all down, he wants to build an army against the Ministry of Magic, he wants to overthrow me." Fudge glowed with joy.
"Yes, sir, I wrote it down." Percy quickly took notes, and glanced at Ginny with a gloomy expression.
"Send a copy to the Daily Prophet right now, and maybe we'll catch up with tomorrow morning's edition." Fudge muttered excitedly.
"I'm afraid you have encountered a small problem." Dumbledore said softly.
"The problem, I didn't see it." Fudge sneered.
"Honestly, I'm not going to hang around, and I don't want to be sent to Azkaban. Of course, I could get out—but that would be a waste of time, and frankly, I have a lot of things to do myself, and I'd rather Willing to do those things instead of wasting time here with you guys."
Fudge stared at Dumbledore, and he froze for a moment, as if suddenly stunned, and couldn't believe that this happened.
"You can't escape." Umbridge reminded, "A large number of Aurors have arrived at Hogwarts, and you can't escape."
"Don't be stupid, you alone can't deal with me." Dumbledore smiled and pulled out his wand, "Unless you are stupid enough to force me... oh well, in that case..."
To be honest, Harry was completely overwhelmed by Dumbledore at once. He didn't understand why Dumbledore would admit these things.
By the time he came back to his senses, the headmaster's office had already exploded, and the group who tried to violently arrest Dumbledore all fell down, and Dumbledore had disappeared.
"Where is the man, where is he?" Fudge struggled to get up from the floor.
"No, it's impossible to Apparate in the school!" Umbridge yelled, "Follow him, call the other Aurors, and let them intercept Dumbledore."
"stairs!"
Several people hurriedly opened the door, and when they were about to chase Dumbledore, they just ran into the students blocking the door of the principal's office.
"They used Veritaserum to torture Colin, Ginny, and Akmo." Harry's voice came from behind, "and drove the principal away without any evidence."
For some reason, Fudge and his group suddenly felt that the situation was not good, because the students in front raised their wands and pointed at them angrily.
Kingsley stared at everything dumbfounded. He never thought that Harry and the Weasley brothers would pull up such a huge team in the school.
"Don't come here, the Aurors have arrived." Umbridge threatened stammeringly: "Besides, it is illegal to attack Ministry of Magic officials, and you will definitely be expelled."
Umbridge wondered where the thirty-four Aurors were.
"So, instead of letting the Aurors deal with those dark wizards who escaped from prison, you use them to suppress innocent students." George mocked sharply, "Is this the Ministry of Magic that keeps saying it will protect everyone?"
"Hit 'em!"
