Chapter 662： next set

Umbridge was still struggling after returning to his office.

She paced restlessly up and down the office, stopping every now and then to pick up a quill to write to Cornelius Fudge, but each time she quickly gave up.

As Dumbledore and Skeeter had said, she was in a dire situation, and something had to be done before she could continue to use her role as a Ministry official.

Of course, Umbridge could choose to tell Minister Fudge the news and have him send someone to track it down.

But Professor Trelawney, the master of prophecy in Umbridge's mind, told her that she must participate in person, and it was difficult for her to accept the great credit that was about to be given to Umbridge's character. of.

As for the danger she might encounter, Umbridge felt normal, because what she most wanted to find was the unknown person who attacked her and the evidence that Dumbledore wanted to deal with the Ministry of Magic.

No matter which one the prophecy points to, she may encounter an enemy she can't deal with. The prophecy says that danger and opportunity coexist, so this is what I should say...

Umbridge kept thinking and tangled in his heart.

But she didn't struggle for too long. After changing her mind, Umbridge quickly thought of a solution.

It's true that Umbridge is not good at fighting. It's obviously impossible for her to deal with Dumbledore or someone else, but she is too good at fighting for power...

Wasn't she able to climb to this position step by step because of her hypocritical ingratitude to her superiors, plus her ruthless taking credit from other colleagues and taking it for herself?

As long as Umbridge first finds out where the prophesied tree is and confirms the secret, he can ask Minister Fudge for a group of Aurors to come and help.

At that time, she will take the lead, and the task of fighting will be handed over to others. Finally, she will take the credit for herself, and everything will be solved easily... If Professor Trelawney said that she must participate in person, she In fact, it can be completely seated in the rear.

Umbridge thought regretfully.

After all, the prophecy has already stated that there is danger. If she can, she still does not want to take risks, but obviously, power is more attractive to her. Between personal safety and power, Umbridge finally chose to take risks.

After making up my mind, style=\"display:inline-block;widtdisplay:inline-block;wdata-ad-client=\"ca-pub-12data-ad4185134\"\"data-ad-region=\"cont_mid\ "data-ad-slot=\"6246767822\"data-ad-(adsbygoogle=w[]).push({}); Umbridge's mobility is still very strong, she quickly found What are some of the more special trees in Hogwarts...

The results of the investigation gave her some headaches...

There are too many special trees in Hogwarts!

As a famous school that has been passed down for thousands of years and a forest the size of the Forbidden Forest, I don't know how many people have planted some strange plants in Hogwarts over the years.

Fortunately, Professor Trelawney's prediction narrowed the scope for Umbridge, and the tree was relatively "young".

So after Umbridge sifted out all the trees that were more than a hundred years old, the remaining targets were suddenly much less. And soon, Umbridge set his target on the punching willow...

The reason is also very simple. Apart from the beating willow, which is outside the forbidden forest, other more special trees are all in the inner part of the forest, and Umbridge alone would never dare to enter.

Of course, what Feixu originally chose was the Hitting Willow, or in other words, the secret passage under the Hitting Willow.

During the next period of time, the students at Hogwarts were surprised to find that Umbridge no longer wandered around the school like a ghost, finding faults from time to time to deduct points or put students in confinement.

And most of the time, everyone couldn't see her figure, as if Umbridge had suddenly become a normal professor, and usually stayed in his office except to teach students.

While everyone feels strange, they are also happy to see such changes. After all, every now and then, a toad's face appears and tells you in a little girl's voice that you can't do this and that you can't do that. A normal person can't stand it.

Of course, Umbridge, who disappeared, didn't stay in her office obediently. In Fish's perception, she spent most of her time wandering outside the woods near the Beating Willow, but she didn't know where she got one. Invisibility cloak, so no one else can see her.

In addition, Umbridge's prudence, or courage, is also somewhat beyond Fish's expectations. Apart from wandering around the Beating Willow these past few days, she has never wanted to check it out. Obviously, she already understands it. The characteristics of the beating willow, do not want to take this risk.

Then the cat ran to Dumbledore...

That night, Umbridge wandered in the woods near the Beating Willow again, but no matter how much she observed, she couldn't see any secrets under the tree, but it was obvious that she had to lean over there. not reach.

It's not that Umbridge didn't try to do this, but even if she put on the invisibility cloak and hid her voice, this odd tree could still detect her approach, and if she hadn't hid in time, she would have been caught. The branches of the willow were drawn.

As for using magic to "solve" the beating willow from a distance...

Not to mention whether she has this ability, what if the Punching Willow is not the tree in the prophecy? If you don't do this, you will be shocked. This is a major event related to his promotion, and Umbridge does not dare to take any risks.

Just when Umbridge was thinking about whether it is not the way to go on like this and whether to apply for an assistant to Minister Fudge to help, a sound of fallen leaves and dead branches being trampled came from her right hand side.

She followed the sound and found that she didn't see any people or animals.

Thestral?

Umbridge had bumped into them occasionally, and thought he had found something, but was happy.

But soon, she realized that something was wrong. This time, the frequency of the footsteps was completely different from that of Ye Qi. It didn't have the usual sloppy feeling of Ye Qi, but it seemed like someone was in a hurry.

Umbridge held her breath subconsciously, her eyes widened and she stared in the direction of the sound, her whole body was tense, and she didn't dare to move at all... She completely forgot that she had cast a silent spell on herself. .

As the footsteps got closer and closer, Umbridge also found that the person who came should be a tall human, because when the person walked by, some high branches were bumped, and there was a slight burst of light. rustling sound.

At this moment, the invisibility cloak of the incoming person seemed to be hooked by a branch, and a white-haired and white-bearded head suddenly appeared in the air. He quickly covered himself with the Invisibility Cloak, but Umbridge still recognized him

It's Dumbledore! In Hogwarts there is no one else who is tall and white with white hair and beard except Dumbledore!

Umbridge clenched his fists, shaking with excitement.

The footsteps continued to sound, and they came to the bottom of the willow. Because it was too dark, Umbridge couldn't see what Dumbledore was doing. She only knew that after a rustling, Dumbledore seemed to disappear. .

Umbridge held her breath and slowly moved out of the forest. It was not until she stepped out of the Forbidden Forest that she started to run wild, and the toad's face was full of excitement.

I bumped my toes against the table legs while teasing the cat...

The cool weather also has the advantage of cool weather. The amount of hair loss in Zhongyuan has been significantly reduced recently, but it is too annoying to rain every day.
