Chapter 492: Has the Truth Serum Run Out? We Can't Beat Him (1/2)

Chapter 492 The truth serum is used up? We can't beat him

Bang! Bang! Bang!

There was a knock on the door, and a voice came from outside the door, "Professor, are you there?"

"Come in."

Graham Montague walked in, he nodded to Aaron first, then looked at Professor Snape, "Professor, Professor Umbridge wants you to come over."

"What's the matter?" Aaron asked.

"Our investigation team has caught several students who violated the rules and intended to sneak into Umbridge's office." Montague said proudly, "Five Gryffindors and one Ravenclaw."

"Oh!" Aaron raised his eyebrows, "Harry, Ron, Ginny, Hermione, Luna, who is the sixth one?"

"Longbottom." Montague said, "Wait, Gaius, how did you know it was them?"

"I was there when they were discussing going to Umbridge's office.

I warned them, but Harry Potter insisted on doing it and couldn't be stopped."

"It seems that they have set their sights on the Floo network in Umbridge's office." Snape sneered, "I have to say, they are still quite quick-witted."

"It's a pity that they failed." Aaron was speechless, and mourned for them for three seconds in his heart. They would definitely not end well if they fell into Umbridge's hands.

"Let's go! Let's see what our headmaster is going to do." Professor Snape slowly stood up and walked towards the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor's office on the third floor. Aaron and Montague followed him.

......

"Are you going to see Dumbledore?"

"No."

"You're lying!"

When they arrived, they just happened to catch Umbridge interrogating Harry Potter.

From the shallow slap mark on Harry's face, it can be seen that Umbridge's interrogation method is not very friendly.

After Aaron came in, he glanced at Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Luna and Neville who were detained by the investigation team, and couldn't help smacking his lips.

Good guy! It's okay that the whole army was wiped out, but there is also a buy five get one free.

"You want to ask me something, Headmaster?" Snape asked lightly.

"Snape, yes." Umbridge grinned, "Now he should answer me truthfully, whether he wants to or not.

I need a bottle of truth serum, the sooner the better."

"You took all my reserves to interrogate students." Professor Snape looked at her speechlessly. He really didn't expect Umbridge to have the nerve to ask him for it.

It is normal to add a drop of water to interrogate a person, but Umbridge has obviously used up all the truth serum. This efficiency is enough to make the jailers ashamed in Azkaban.

Umbridge blushed slightly, "Can you mix some more?"

Puff!

Aaron couldn't help laughing, "Professor, are you kidding?

It takes a lot of time to prepare the truth serum, about a month."

"A month?" Umbridge obviously couldn't accept it, and said loudly: "But I need it tonight. I found that Potter was using my fire to talk to people just now."

"Potter has always disobeyed the school rules and regulations.

Headmaster, if you don't expel him today, you have to get used to this in the future."

"I want to interrogate him." Umbridge said bluntly, "Give me a bottle of potion that can make him tell the truth."

"But I really don't have it in stock." Professor Snape said calmly, "Unless you want Potter to be poisoned, then I agree with both hands, otherwise I really can't help you."

"You are deliberately refusing to help!" Umbridge's face instantly changed to an angry one, "You disappoint me so much, don't forget that you are still on probation."

"Professor, sorry to interrupt.

Professor Snape is a well-known master of potions. Even if he leaves Hogwarts, he can still be very successful.

In other words, the probation period is not a threat to him at all."

"Shut up, Gaius, you have no right to speak here."

"Alas!" Professor Snape sighed and shook his head, gloating: "I don't want to say this, but Gaius may be the only one in Hogwarts who has truth serum."

"What?" Umbridge's face twitched slightly, and she looked at Aaron ingratiatingly, "Do you have a truth serum?"

"Headmaster, you have studied this face-changing technique, right?" Aaron complained speechlessly, "Professor Snape asked me to do him a favor before, and the truth serum is only a small part of the reward."

"That's great, take it out quickly."

"Why should I take it out?"

"I'm the headmaster."

"Even if you are the headmaster, you have no right to confiscate students' private property!" Aaron said confidently, "If this gets out, it will have a bad impact."

Umbridge's face turned blue and purple, and after a few seconds of silence, she pointed to the door, "Get out, both of you, leave my office."

"Okay, headmaster, we'll leave now." Professor Snape said sarcastically.

"Padfoot." Harry suddenly looked at Aaron, "Did you tell him about Padfoot?"

"Of course, you can rest assured." Aaron spread his hands, "I'm different from the brain-twisted Gryffindor. I will choose the best solution, the safest one.

As for the difference... Compare your current situation and you'll know I'm right."

"Padfoot? What Padfoot?" Umbridge felt that she had grasped the point, "What is he talking about?"

"I don't know." Professor Snape pursed his lips and slowly retreated outside the office.

Aaron was about to leave when Umbridge quickly blocked the door, "You can't leave."

"Principal." Professor Snape's eyes were cold, "I don't remember my students violating school rules and regulations. Even if they did, it was me, the dean, who decided the punishment!"

Umbridge was startled by Snape in this state, and her tone was involuntarily weaker, "Don't worry about Snape, I just have some questions to ask him."

Snape raised his eyebrows disdainfully, and one hand was already on the end of the wand.

It's not like he didn't know who Umbridge was. He didn't have much ability, but he had great ambitions and could do anything to achieve his goals.

What if Aaron was left here and something happened?

"Professor, you should go and do your thing first!" Aaron said confidently, "You should know my strength."

Hearing this, Snape remembered that Umbridge might not be able to beat him, so he put away his wand and left without looking back.

Pah!

Umbridge quickly closed the door and pulled Aaron to sit on a chair.

"Tell me, who is Padfoot?"

"Hmm..." Aaron pretended to be thoughtful, "Professor, you have to think about it from another angle. Which normal person's name would be Padfoot?"

"Not a person?" Umbridge asked suspiciously, "What is it?"

"How do I know?"

"No, you lied to me, you must be lying to me, you just said you told him about Padfoot." Umbridge raised her hand indignantly and slapped Aaron in the face.

Pah!

Umbridge's right wrist was caught in the air by Aaron.

"Professor, I have to say, you are quite strong."

Umbridge gritted her teeth and tried to pull her fat hand out, but no matter how hard she tried, her right hand seemed to be clamped by steel and she couldn't get away at all.

"Let go, I order you to let go."

Aaron smiled contemptuously. If you let me let go, wouldn't that be very embarrassing.

Umbridge immediately pulled out the wand with her left hand, "Strength..."

However, Aaron increased his strength before she finished half of the spell.

Umbridge couldn't help but cry out in pain, and an unhealthy purple-red color appeared on her right hand. She also bent down in pain, as if this would make her feel better.

"Professor, you will pay a price for attacking me.

I am different from others. I will fight back, no matter who you are."

"I know, I was wrong just now, can you let go of your hand?" Umbridge begged humbly.

The others stared at this scene with their eyes wide open in astonishment. Umbridge gave them a vivid lesson, the subject is called bullying the weak and fearing the strong.

"Tsk!" Aaron let go of his left hand in disdain, "You're smart, otherwise I will definitely crush your bones."

Umbridge looked at him in horror, stepped back a few steps and carefully rubbed her right hand. When it didn't hurt so much, she pointed the wand at Aaron again.

"What? Do you want to fight?" Aaron said playfully, "Then I have to think about what magic to use."

"Don't bluff, do you think I will give you a chance to use the wand?" Umbridge took a deep breath. This time she pulled away and firmly grasped the initiative. It is absolutely impossible for her to capsize in the ditch.

After catching Aaron, she will take revenge. As long as she can get information related to Padfoot through torture, it will be a merit and no fault, and even Fudge can't say anything about her.

"Quickly imprison."

A rope shot out from the wand and went straight to Aaron.

But the next moment a red light hit the rapidly extending rope, and it instantly broke into powder and dissipated in mid-air.

Umbridge looked at Aaron's fingers casting spells and couldn't help swallowing her saliva.

"The biggest advantage of wandless spellcasting is that it can make your enemies relax their vigilance." Aaron said meaningfully, "Professor, do you want to have a fair duel with me?"

"Fair duel?" Umbridge seemed to have heard a funny joke, "This office is full of my people."

"I almost forgot that when you attacked Professor McGonagall last night, you were bullying the minority with the majority."

"I'm glad to know." Umbridge calmed down, but she was not ashamed.

Although her methods last night were a bit despicable, the effect was good. She eliminated the biggest competitor and drove away Dumbledore's diehards.

"Mr. Gaius, I don't want to embarrass you.

As long as you tell me who Padfoot is, what is his relationship with Dumbledore, and where are they?

Then what happened just now was all a misunderstanding, and I can let it go."

"Haha!" Aaron rolled his eyes speechlessly, "It seems that you have always been the one to stir up trouble. I am very generous not to pursue you."

"I did this for the school's discipline, and it also involves the safety of the Ministry of Magic." Umbridge said righteously, "Harry contacted someone through my Floo Network, it is very likely that it was Dumbledore, I have to investigate seriously."

"Not Dumbledore." Harry said immediately.

"Then tell me who you are talking to?" Umbridge asked back.

Harry was speechless. Although he didn't talk to Dumbledore just now, the existence of the Order of the Phoenix must not be exposed.

"Can't tell?" Umbridge glared at Harry, then turned her attention to Aaron, "You clearly know about Padfoot, but you still pretend to be ignorant.

At the very least, this is disrespectful to the headmaster and encourages other students to break the rules. At the most, this is not cooperating with the Ministry of Magic."

Aaron did not refute, in a sense, what Umbridge said was true.

"I'll give you another chance, are you willing to cooperate?"

"Boring."

"What are you all standing there for?" Umbridge shouted, "Stop him!"

However, the students in the investigation team looked at each other, but no one had the intention to take action.

"You?" Umbridge looked at her subordinates in astonishment, her eyes full of disbelief, "Are you deaf?"

"That's a bit insulting." Aaron said indignantly, "Professor, you should be more fair when selecting people. The investigation team is actually all Slytherin.

Maybe you think Slytherin will help you suppress the other three colleges, which is not wrong, but unfortunately I happen to be the prefect of Slytherin."

"I'm the headmaster, headmaster." Umbridge stomped her feet in anger, "I'm the boss of Hogwarts now, you should listen to me."

"That's what I said, but ..." Montaigne faced Umbridge's questioning gaze and said intermittently: "But we can't beat him."

"We really can't beat him." Millicent added unnaturally, "Headmaster, it's not that we don't listen to you, we are all no match for him."

Umbridge:......

Aaron spread his hands and smiled: "Although I was selected as the prefect by the previous headmaster, I won the respect of Slytherin by my own strength.

After all, if the strength is not up to standard, it is not possible to manage the unruly Snake Court, right?"

Umbridge's mouth twitched slightly, and the raised wand gradually dropped.

She forced out an awkward but polite smile, "Aaron, I was impulsive this time, you can leave now."

"What about them?" Aaron pointed at Harry and others.

"That won't work." Umbridge shook her head firmly and refused, "They really violated the school rules and regulations. I, as the headmaster, can't just turn a blind eye!"

Aaron frowned slightly, "Then how are you going to deal with them?"

"Others are easy to deal with, just put them in detention, but I don't have a better way for Harry Potter." Umbridge pretended to be embarrassed, "Without the truth serum, he won't cooperate well, I have to think of some other ways to make him talk!"

"For example?"

"How about the Cruciatus Curse?"

"No, it's illegal." Hermione said in panic, "The Minister will not allow you to break the law, Professor Umbridge."

"As long as Cornelius doesn't know, it won't hinder him." Umbridge took a deep breath, her breathing was a little rapid, it seemed that making this decision was also difficult for her.

"Aren't you worried that we will tell Minister Fudge?"

"As long as the interrogation reveals those valuable intelligence, who will care if I use a little trick!

Just like last summer when I ordered the Dementors to chase Potter, Cornelius didn't know, but he was still very happy to have the opportunity to expel Potter."
