Hogwarts: more magic than magic

28 Umbridge
It feels so good to get rich overnight!
That night, he tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep, got up twice during the period, and carefully counted the big bag of Jinlong he brought out from the non-marking stretch box.

"A total of 810 gold dragons!" He stacked these golden dragons one by one, making a total of 181 stacks, and placed them all on his desk, covering the entire table.

"Fluorescent flashes!"

As the light spewed out from the tip of the staff lit up, the whole room was reflected golden by the golden light reflected from the Jinlong.

Don't underestimate the 810 300 gold coins, which is more than 200 coins more than his student loan, and his annual student loan is only [-].

And most importantly, there is a whole golden mountain made of golden dragons in that box!

After tossing and tossing until the sky turned pale, Qiz fell into a deep sleep.It turned out that when he woke up the next Saturday, it was almost noon for lunch.

When he came out of the common room to eat in the banquet hall, he met Judith who was also eating in the banquet hall as soon as he entered the door.

"Hi! Chez! Here! Here!" Judith spotted him first, waved to him happily, and beckoned him to sit down.

"Is this your little brother? He's so handsome!" Several good-looking female classmates next to her began to discuss.

"He is so powerful! He can beat back the black wizard!"

"But he doesn't look well! The dark circles under his eyes look heavy!"

"Maybe it's because of the injury!" Judith didn't wait for Chiz to respond, and pulled him over to sit down. "He's just unlucky!"

"Kiz! This is a classmate from our academy and me!"

"Hi everyone! I'm Chiz! It belongs to Judith... um..." Chiz couldn't figure out who he was from Judith, "A foster brother? A foster brother?"

"It's your little boyfriend, right?" A blond girl approached and whispered, "Judith told us all the time in the dormitory that you ran to save her! She kept praising you!"

"Jasmine! Don't talk nonsense!" Judith was a little ashamed.

"We're going to Hogsmeade village at noon, little brother, do you want to go together?" Another girl said to Keez.

"I'm only in the first grade, so I'm not allowed to go anywhere." Qiz was very helpless. Although he knew that there was a secret way out of the school, he hadn't found it yet.And there's no need to go out.

"That's a pity!" Jasmine shrugged. "Since we can't go there, forget it! Shall we bring you something?"

"Of course! Bring me some liqueur chocolates from the candy store!" He took out a large handful of Jinlong from his pocket and handed it to Judith, "I'll pay for your expenses this time, just treat it as my invitation to you, don't be shy!"

Of course, the money was a loan from Gringotts, and he had to confirm whether there were tracking magic or special marks on the money on the table before he could use it with confidence.

"Where did you get the money?" Judith was a little anxious, "You pay it back yourself..."

"The sewer!" Keiz winked at her. "Remember? You said keep it a secret!"

"Okay, I get it now."

"Oh!!!" There was a booing voice from a group of girls next to her, "Secret!!!"

"Don't do this!" Judith blushed completely.

Seeing them making a fuss again, Qiz quickly finished his lunch, "I'll take you to the school gate!"

Then they went to the gate of the school with them.

"Have fun! Don't forget my bonbons!" Keiz watched as they walked towards Filch who was guarding the gate.

Next to Qiz, there are many little wizards who are also watching these senior students who can go out.

Filch led Mrs. Norris to stand at the door and check the consent forms of each student going out one by one.

Keiz noticed that there was an ugly woman in a full pink formal suit standing beside the gate at this moment, and she just stood there, scanning everyone arrogantly.

After reading a consent form, Filch raised his head and looked in Keez's direction.

He seemed very excited, and quickly returned the consent form in his hand to the student, waved him out of the gate, ignored the consent form handed over by the student behind, and immediately walked up to the pink ugly woman, showing a flattering smile on his dry old face, raised his hand like a dead tree, pointed to Chiz, and whispered something to her.

Listening to Filch's report, the corners of the pink woman's mouth quickly moved to both sides, showing a weird smile, and Keiz seemed to see the joyful light bursting out of her eyeballs.

After Filch finished speaking, she straightened her pink skirt, slightly suppressed the smile on her face, and walked towards Keiz.

Keez studied the approaching woman.

This is a squat ugly woman.She had a broad, flabby face and a little black velvet bow in her short curly hair.

Pink hairpins, pink bows, frilly skirts, and tiny pink bags.It seemed like everything about her was pink.

Her voice was thin, and she sounded like a little girl fussing.She said in her affected girlish voice: "Nice to meet you little wizard! Chez Bolton! Mr. Bolton, isn't it?"

Hearing this sound, Chizz got goosebumps. Can you imagine the feeling of an old woman clipping your face with a clip sound?Think about Qiao Mouluo, that kind of experience.

Walking in front of Qiz, her face has completely changed into a formulaic and friendly smile, she reached out and shook his hand, "I read about your deeds in the newspaper last week, very brave little wizard!"

"Thank you for your compliment! Ma'am!" Although Qiz knew that she must be holding her fart in her heart, she still extended her right hand in a friendly way and shook her lightly.

"I'm Dolores Umbridge, Deputy Minister of Magic, and I'm the investigation leader for this investigation into the disappearance of Professor Quirrell!" She made an inviting gesture as she spoke, signaling Keiz to follow her. "Mr. Bolton, please come with me. I have something to talk to you in the office."

Sure enough, as Chez thought, this ugly woman covered in pink from head to toe was Umbridge, then Deputy Minister of Magic.

"It's an honor, ma'am!" He didn't refuse, which would have aroused Umbridge's suspicions.

It was a makeshift office that Hogwarts had provided for the mission, but everything in it had been replaced with pink by Umbridge.

"Ms. Umbridge, good afternoon!" The man in black suit who was sitting on the pink sofa immediately got up and said to her.

"Good afternoon, Mariano!"

"Mr. Keez, this is my assistant, Mariano Kuhn!" Umbridge introduced, "I can't stay at Hogwarts for too long. Maybe I have to go back to the Ministry of Magic after we finish talking, and Mr. Kuhn will take over my job next."

"Hello! Mr. Kuhn!"

"Hello! Mr. Keez!" After speaking, the man sat down solemnly, took out a small notebook, and began to record.

"Do you know about Professor Quirrell?" Umbridge began to ask.

"I found out a few days ago!"

"He is an excellent Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, you know, but unfortunately, he seems to have been murdered!" Umbridge's tone gradually became serious, and finally he even gritted his teeth, "He disappeared!"

"What do you know?" Umbridge turned to Keez, "According to the gatekeeper, the night when you and Hagrid had an accident in the Forbidden Forest was the last time the students saw Professor Quirrell."

"Maybe you, know something! Don't you?"

"Maybe this matter has something to do with you!"

"Maybe it's..." Her face became more and more distorted, and her words became more and more outrageous, but she stopped talking when she was about to guess right.

"Oh! Look at me, how can I treat guests so impolitely!" She put away her increasingly ferocious expression, as if she wasn't the one who asked the question just now, "Tea or coffee?"

"Ma'am, I don't think it's necessary!" Keiz looked at her exaggerated performance, a little impatient.

"I said, tea! Still! Coffee!" She immediately changed her face after getting a negative answer, and said each word in a clip tone that dropped an octave.

"Tea!"

Umbridge opened her handbag, pulled out a surprisingly short wand, waved it, and a cup of pink milk tea that left Keiz speechless appeared on the table in front of him.

"Then let's get to the point!" She came across and sat down. "I want to ask you about everything that happened during the period from when you were punished to when you entered the Forbidden Forest with Mr. Key Keeper and got injured. Please remember carefully!"

"Okay, ma'am..." Keiz began to tell the details like a running account, from the beginning of the fight, to the trivial things that happened even when he went to the bathroom.

"Tsk, tsk," said Umbridge, a little displeased, "that's not okay, is it? Mr. Keez, straight to the Forbidden Forest. It's about the Forbidden Forest!"

"Okay, ma'am!" Keiz said a little thirsty, and took a sip of milk tea, "Hagrid arranged Fangya and me to the other side to patrol alone..."

"Damn it, it's Veritaserum!" Qiz immediately realized after taking a sip of milk tea that he was careless.They really have no lower limit, using Veritaserum on a little wizard.

Of course, fortunately, he already had a way to deal with it. When he turned on the (Mechanical Heart) talent, his body was immediately taken over by the mechanical thinking. According to the program that Qizi had set up long ago, he began to talk expressionlessly.

"...A black shadow drifted past me..."

Of course he wouldn't tell the truth. When Hagrid went to see him in the infirmary, he got Dumbledore's advice and colluded with him to make a statement. The general meaning was that after they separated, he was attacked by a wind wolverine that woke up from hibernation as food. Hagrid arrived in time and saved his life.

Soon, Keez finished his time of making up lies.

Umbridge then asked a few more questions, and he dealt with them one by one. Although it was somewhat mechanical, the two of them didn't feel that something was wrong. They just thought it was a side effect of Veritaserum.

"Okay, Mr. Keez, it's getting late, thank you for providing us with valuable information! If there is anything else to do next time, Mr. Kuhn will come to you." Umbridge was a little impatient because he didn't get the information he wanted.

But maybe because Voldemort has not yet been resurrected and Dumbledore's prestige is still there, she did not express her dissatisfaction too much.

"Okay, dear ma'am, I'm very happy with this pleasant afternoon tea, so see you next time." He mechanically replied, got up mechanically, and left the temporary office.

Not long after he walked out of the office.

"Mr. Kuhn, what do you think?" Umbridge showed a completely different expression from just now, as if he was not talking to his subordinates, but to his superior, "The effect of Veritaserum can't be faked! Maybe what they said is true, and that person's disappearance has nothing to do with what happened in the Forbidden Forest."

"You go back first, and leave it to me here!" The Mr. Kuhn in black formal attire was completely different from the restrained Qiz was when he was here, but leaned on the pink sofa with his legs crossed in an extremely leisurely posture, "I will find out the reason and find what the master wants."

"Yes, Mr. Kuhn."

. . . . . . .

On the other side, after he walked out of the temporary investigation office, he immediately exited the state of the mechanical heart, ran to the bathroom at the corner of the corridor, and flushed water into his stomach with his mouth facing the faucet.

"Wow! Wow! Wow..." He vomited on the toilet for a long time, and he felt better until he lost all strength.

"One day! One day, you will pay the price!" He was sitting on the toilet leaning against the water tank, screaming angrily in his heart, "Umbridge! Wait! Wait! I will turn you into a sacrifice like Quirrell."
