Chapter 2353 Riding a Tiger Is Hard to Get Off (Tomorrow Is Another New Month)
The news that Umbridge was scared to pee in Ellie's Defense Against the Dark Arts class soon spread throughout Hogwarts, and quickly became the butt of jokes among students. The students naturally thought of ways to arrange her, and what made them even more happy was that after that, Umbridge said that his poor little heart was severely stimulated, and he wanted to go back to rest, so he temporarily asked for leave and left Hogwarts. Here --- this almost made everyone applaud.
It would be better if she never came back for the rest of her life.
At the same time, everyone's awe of Ellie even surpassed that of the Dark Lord.
Because the method she used in Defense Against the Dark Arts class scared almost all the students.
Although the Dark Lord also likes to torture others, he uses the Cruciatus Curse to torture others. However, ordinary wizards only hear that such things as the Cruciatus Curse will bring endless pain, but what kind of pain is it? Can only imagine. But...a ten-centimeter-long nail is driven through the nail and runs through the entire finger...
This is the devil! This must be something the devil can think of! !
Unlike the Cruciatus Curse, as long as this is briefly described, most people will gasp, and some who are more fragile will just cover their ears and stop listening.
As for thinking...they didn't even dare to think about it! !
What's more terrible is that this is not black magic at all. Ellie also used "all petrification" in the whole process, and she did it all by herself.
And that's the scariest part, because the Ministry of Magic can't even accuse her of having cast any horrific Dark Arts or Unforgivable Curses, in fact, it's as if she's done nothing but Umbridge's little heart Except for the harm, everything is happy.
But for Umbridge, it wasn't happy at all.
"Minister, you must help me. That little girl is so cruel. She did such cruel things to me. She is like those terrible devils who tortured wizards in the Middle Ages! Please give an order to drive her away." Get out of Hogwarts!!"
Umbridge's eyes were red and swollen like light bulbs at the moment. Others thought Ellie had used some kind of illusion, but Umbridge couldn't tell because she really felt that the other party took The iron nail was driven into his nails! The pain made her suffer so much that even Umbridge now has symptoms of insomnia.
But no matter what she said, no one would believe it——because according to the investigation of medical experts from the Ministry of Magic, Umbridge's right hand did not show any signs of injury, her memory had not been tampered with, and there was no sign of Confusion Curse .
"I need to think about it."
"But Minister, your plan..."
"I said I need to think about it!"
Fudge roared and pressed his forehead. Umbridge was so scared that he stopped talking and hurriedly shrank his body and left the office. Only then did Fudge sigh and put his head in his hands.
I didn't expect things to be so troublesome.
To be honest, the biggest reason why Fudge didn't dare to mess around at Hogwarts was Ellie's existence, because Fudge knew very well that the British government stood behind her.
What made Fudge even more troublesome was that he originally thought that this little witch had no great abilities, but he didn't expect that the other party's cunning and cunning were no less than Dumbledore's.
Of course, Fudge also knew about Ellie's visit to those Muggle wizards, and he was also worried about it, but he couldn't find any good strategy to deal with it. There are more and more Muggle wizards now. As the Minister of Magic, Fudge understands this better than anyone else. They are eager to improve their class and rights, but the rule of pure-blood wizards over the magic world is deeply rooted. Just be careful...
So there was really nothing Fudge could do about Ellie visiting those Muggle wizards. It is impossible for him to give those Muggle wizards better conditions --- this will touch the interests of pure-blood wizards, and then he will be the one who is unlucky.
But it is also impossible for him to threaten those Muggle wizards—not to mention that the Muggle wizards that Ellie visited are relatively powerful and famous among the lower wizards. If you threaten the other party, it is not directly sending the other party to the Muggle wizard Do you push melon over there?
For Fudge, the best way is to get rid of Ellie without anyone noticing, and warn those Muggles that the wizarding world is not a place where they can reach out at will.
But think about the god-calling guards that are bigger than Hogwarts Castle... It can't be messed with.
Where did the Muggles find such a monster? !
Thinking of this, Fudge was incomparably headache, powerful and thoughtful, Voldemort had never been so difficult to deal with. After all, even if it is Voldemort, it is only a dispute within the magic world, but once there is a head-on conflict with Ellie, it is very likely to evolve into a conflict between Muggles and the magic world... Fudge doesn't want to be killed in any of his own. This "brilliant" stroke was recorded on the Internet.
The current Hogwarts can be described as a three-way wrestling, and Fudge and Dumbledore are wary of each other. Even the appearance of Ellie cannot make them enter the united front.
Not only that, but there is one more thing that bothers Fudge...
Thinking of this, Fudge couldn't help stretching out his hand, and pulled out another newspaper from under the "Daily Prophet" next to the desk. This is a newspaper that has just been on the market for less than half a month, called "News". This is a newspaper founded by wizards, but unlike the "Daily Prophet", this "news" mainly publishes trivia among Muggle wizards, as well as the complaints and unfairness of some Muggle wizards treatment, while introducing some of the latest inventions and products from the Muggle world.
Of course, it goes without saying that the newspaper was also founded by a Muggle wizard.
Many wizards sneered at this. In their view, this "news" is the same as "quibbler", and has no value in existence, but Fudge doesn't think so. He believed that other wizards would think the same if they knew where the newspaper's editorial offices were located.
They built their editorial offices in the Muggle world.
In fact, Fudge also learned that almost everything they got was provided by one of the departments of the Muggle government, which is actually very telling.
A group of wizards were voluntarily hired by Muggles to work for them in the wizarding world... Thinking of this, Fudge's head started to hurt again.
That's right, this is of course Ellie's idea. The first part of doing things is to release public opinion, control public opinion, and develop her own public opinion front... "The Daily Prophet" is like a third-rate tabloid, and Ellie doesn't like it Look, in the original book, Hermione got the right to publish the article by threatening the gossip reporter of the Daily Prophet, but Ellie doesn't need to go through such trouble——I can just open a newspaper myself?
As for money? Is money also an issue? Isn't Gringotts full of money?
Ok? Gringotts money is not mine?
There is such a thing?
I do not know how?
In fact, Fudge didn't know that besides this, Ellie also formed another department. Their responsibilities were similar to "Ghostbusters", specializing in solving magic-related problems encountered in ordinary families. Deal with it—after all, the Ministry of Magic pays more attention to wizards. As for Muggles, unless they cause a lot of trouble, they generally don't bother to take care of it.
And this department also has a very "formalized" name --- Special Incident Processing Center.
The difference from the Ministry of Magic is that this department is directly under the British Ministry of Defense, and in addition to dealing with those magical incidents, their work will also provide some additional "technical support" for other incidents, such as some very difficult disappearance cases, There are even some dangerous public safety incidents that can be assisted by them.
To put it bluntly, they are like the British men in black, hiding in the dark and using their power to protect the country.
This made many Muggle wizards very excited. From the title, we can know that these wizards were Muggles before, but basically the Muggles of this era have watched many movies and TV shows when they were young. "Hero" work is naturally full of enthusiasm.
You must know that although many of them have strength and ambition, they can't show it in the magic world at all. Now, in this government department, they can not only display their strength, but even gain the appreciation and admiration of others ………
In fact, the infiltration of the Muggle world into the wizarding world had already begun—slowly, but surely.
The world is moving, but some people never realize it.
Umbridge returned to Hogwarts again with a wounded and fragile heart, but this time she never dared to do anything out of the ordinary. Of course, she would still appear in other professors' courses to audit and interrogate, but she never went to the Defense Against the Dark Arts class again, and she never dared to meet Ellie again. In fact, Umbridge basically runs faster than anyone else as soon as Ellie shows up.
After all, Minister Fudge has already talked to her, and at the same time hinted that she should not trouble Ellie. As this lady, if she wants to kill Umbridge, the most the Ministry of Magic can do is to give Umbridge Mrich reported a "died in the line of duty".
Can't fight, and the backing is difficult to get, is it fatal? !
So Umbridge's attitude towards Ellie becomes... I can't afford to provoke, can't I hide?
Of course, Ellie doesn't care about Umbridge.
But she couldn't do that with another person.
For example, when Ellie went on a routine patrol at night again, she suddenly saw the closed door of the potion room slam open, and then Harry Potter grabbed his wizard coat and rushed out while wiping away his tears. Behind him, Snape strode forward, grabbed him in a few steps, and then pushed him against the corner.
Then Ellie saw Snape whisper something to Harry, and then Harry nodded slightly, and the two returned to the potions room.
"........."
Seeing this scene, Ellie was silent for a moment, and then, a picture scroll appeared in her mind.
In the deep potions room, Snape was drinking butterbeer with Harry.
"You know what? That Malfoy got drunk after only two butterbeers. That's a shame."
"That Malfoy is Xun."
Laughing, Harry raised his beer glass. And at the same time, Snape moved closer to him.
"Listen to you, you're brave, aren't you?"
Hearing Snape's question, Harry stretched out his hand and pointed to himself.
"Just kidding, I'm super brave... I'm good at drinking."
"Super able to drink? You are very brave."
Hearing Harry's answer, Snape sneered, stretched out his hand, and patted Harry's thigh.
"He's in good shape, quite strong."
"Teach, professor, what are you doing..."
Feeling Snape's touch, Harry felt a little uncomfortable, and Snape sneered.
"I've been arrested several times, and you're still so shy. I don't think you understand at all."
"Understood, what do you understand?"
Harry blushed and asked in a low voice, and Snape moved closer to Harry.
"You want to understand, I have some good ones in my room!"
"Good health? Is it a new potion?"
"What new potion is more exciting than potion, and it can teach you how to become a DUA girl?"
"Come to Dua's mother?"
"Come on, come and see."
While talking, Snape pulled Harry to his bedroom on the second floor, then closed the door, and then...Harry saw it!
The entire wall is covered with his portraits!
Pictures from every angle!
Some live, some play Quidditch, some take a bath... huh? Wait, take a shower? And Harry in those magical photos just smiled and looked at Snape in front of him without saying a word. Seeing this, Harry also swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and backed away involuntarily.
"Sh, Professor Snape, you have so many photos of me, what the hell is this?!"
"Oh, are you blushing?"
At this moment Snape also locked the door and walked towards Harry with a smile on his stiff face.
"Oh, you're blushing, come on, let me see..."
While talking, Snape stretched out his hand and grabbed Harry, but Harry struggled suddenly when he encountered the sudden attack.
"No, Professor!"
"let me see!"
"No, professor, what are you doing?!"
"Of course to see if your development is normal?"
While talking, Snape squatted down, and at this moment, Harry, who didn't know where the strength came from, pushed him away.
"Professor, no more!"
Snape, who was pushed away, looked at Harry coldly, then shook his hair abruptly.
"Be obedient, let me see!"
"don't want!"
However, before Harry finished speaking, Snape rushed over and pinned him on the bed.
"No professor! No professor! Professor......!"
In the end, Harry's heart-piercing call didn't have any effect...
In this way, the night passed.
When Snape got dressed again and got up, Harry was still lying on the bed, staring out the window blankly.
"This matter is a secret between the two of us."
As he spoke, Snape straightened his robes.
"You'd better not tell anyone! If you want to say it, just be careful. I know which branch you are from and which class you are in. You'd better remember it for me, understand? "
After saying this, Snape turned and left.
At the same time, Ellie also shuddered all over, and came back to her senses.
Could it be the future vision just now? What she just saw was... the future?
“……………………”
Sitting on the broom, Ellie stared at the closed potions room door again, silent for a moment.
Nothing to do with me, slipped away.
