The news that Umbridge was scared to pee in Ellie's Defense Against the Dark Arts class quickly spread throughout Hogwarts and quickly became a joke among students. The students naturally tried to make up stories about her, but what made them even happier was that after that, Umbridge said that her poor little heart was severely stimulated and she had to go back to rest, so she took a temporary leave and left Hogwarts - this almost made everyone applaud.

It would be even better if she never came back.

At the same time, everyone's awe of Ellie even exceeded that of the Dark Lord.

Because the methods she used in the 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 know that the Cruciatus Curse will bring endless pain, but they can only imagine what kind of pain it is. But... use a ten-centimeter-long nail to drive it through the fingernail and penetrate the entire finger...

This must be the devil! Only the devil can come up with this! !

Unlike the Cruciatus Curse, most people would gasp at the mere mention of this curse, and some of the more fragile people would simply cover their ears and refuse to listen.

As for thinking... they don't even dare to think about it!!

What's even more terrible is that this is not black magic at all. Ellie only used the "petrification of everything" technique during the whole process, and she did everything else herself.

This is the most terrifying part, because the Ministry of Magic cannot even accuse her of casting any terrible dark magic or unforgivable curses. In fact, it is as if she has done nothing. Except for Umbridge's little heart being hurt, everything is a happy ending.

But for Umbridge, this was not a happy thing at all.

"Minister, you have to help me. That little girl is so cruel. She actually did such a cruel thing to me. She is like the terrible devil who tortured wizards in the Middle Ages! Please give an order to drive her out of Hogwarts!!"

Umbridge's eyes were red and swollen like light bulbs. Others thought that Ellie had used an illusion, but Umbridge had no words to say because she really felt that the other party had driven a nail into her nail! The pain made her suffer so much that Umbridge even had insomnia.

But no matter what she said, no one believed her - because according to the investigation of the Ministry of Magic's medical experts, Umbridge's right hand did not show any signs of injury, her memory had not been tampered with, and there was no sign of being confounded by the spell.

"I need to think about it."

"But your plan, Minister..."

"I told you I needed to think about it!"

Fudge roared and held his forehead, which frightened Umbridge so much that she stopped talking and quickly shrank her body and left the office. Fudge then sighed and held 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 in Hogwarts was the existence of Ellie, because Fudge knew very well that the British government was behind her.

What made Fudge even more headache was that he originally thought that this little witch did not have any special abilities, but he did not expect that she was so cunning that she was no less than Dumbledore.

Fudge was also aware of Ellie's visit to the 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, and as the Minister of Magic, Fudge understands this better than anyone else. They are eager to improve their class and power, but the pure-blood wizards' rule over the magic world is deeply rooted, so as the Minister of Magic, he has to be careful...

So Fudge was really powerless to stop Ellie from visiting those Muggle wizards. He couldn't give those Muggle wizards better conditions - this would affect the interests of pure-blood wizards, and then he would be the one in trouble.

But he couldn't possibly threaten those Muggle wizards - not to mention that the Muggle wizards that Ellie visited were relatively strong and prestigious among the lower-level wizards. If you threaten them, wouldn't that just push them to the Muggle side?

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 they can touch at will.

But think about the Patronus, which is even bigger than Hogwarts Castle... I can't afford to offend him.

Where did those muggles find such a monster?!

Fudge had a headache when he thought of this. Even Voldemort was so powerful and thoughtful that he had never been so difficult to deal with. After all, even if it was Voldemort, it was just a dispute within the wizarding world. But once there was a direct conflict with Ellie, it would very likely turn into a conflict between the Muggles and the wizarding world... Fudge didn't want to be recorded as such a "glorious" thing during his tenure.

Right now, Hogwarts is a three-way struggle. Fudge and Dumbledore are wary of each other. Even with the appearance of Ellie, they cannot form a united front.

Not only that, there was another thing that bothered Fudge...

Thinking of this, Fudge couldn't help but reach out and pull out another newspaper from under the "Daily Prophet" next to the desk. This was a newspaper that had just been on the market for less than half a month, called "News". This was a newspaper founded by wizards, but unlike the "Daily Prophet", this "News" mainly published some trivial matters between Muggle wizards, as well as some complaints and unfair treatment of Muggle wizards, and introduced some of the latest inventions and products in the Muggle world.

Of course, there is no doubt that the newspaper was founded by a Muggle wizard.

Many wizards scoffed at this. In their opinion, this "news" was just like "singing a different tune" and had no value. However, Fudge did not think so. He believed that if other wizards knew where the editorial office of this newspaper was located, they would have the same idea as him.

They set up their editorial office in the Muggle world.

In fact, Fudge also learned that almost everything they had obtained was provided by one of the branches of the Muggle government, which was actually quite telling.

A group of wizards voluntarily were hired by Muggles to work for them in the wizarding world... Fudge's head began to hurt again at the thought.

That's right, this was of course Ellie's idea. The first part of making trouble is to release public opinion, control public opinion and develop one's own public opinion front... Ellie doesn't even like to read "The Daily Prophet", which is as idiotic as a third-rate tabloid. In the original book, Hermione gained the right to publish articles by threatening the gossipy reporter of the Daily Prophet, but Ellie doesn't need to go through so much trouble - why don't I just open a newspaper myself?

As for money? Is money a problem? Isn't Gringotts full of money?

Huh? Gringotts' money isn't mine?

Is there such a thing?

How come I don’t know?

In fact, Fudge didn't know that in addition to this, Ellie had also formed another department. Their responsibilities were similar to those of the "Ghostbusters", specifically dealing with magic-related problems encountered in ordinary people's families - after all, the Ministry of Magic paid more attention to wizards, and as for Muggles, they generally didn't bother to care unless they caused some very troublesome things.

This department also has a very "formal" name - Special Incident Handling Center.

Unlike the Ministry of Magic, this department is directly under the UK Ministry of Defense. In addition to handling magical incidents, their job is to provide some additional "technical support" for other incidents, such as some very difficult missing cases, and even some dangerous public safety incidents can also be assisted by them.

To put it bluntly, they are like the Men in Black in the UK, hiding in the darkness and using their power to protect the country.

This made many Muggle wizards very excited. From their names, we can tell that these wizards were all Muggles before. Basically, Muggles of this era have watched a lot of movies and TV series when they were young. Naturally, they are full of enthusiasm for this kind of "superhero"-like job.

You know, although many of them have strength and ambition, they can't show it in the magic world. Now, in this government department, they can not only exert their own strength, but also gain the praise and admiration of others...

In fact, the infiltration of the Muggle world into the wizarding world has already begun - slowly, but surely.

The world is moving forward, but some people will never realize it.

Umbridge returned to Hogwarts with a wounded and fragile heart, but this time she dared not do anything out of line. Of course, she would still attend other professors' classes and interrogate them, but she never went to the Defense Against the Dark Arts class again, and she never dared to meet Ellie again. In fact, basically, as soon as Ellie appeared, Umbridge ran away faster than anyone else.

After all, Minister Fudge had already talked to her and hinted her not to cause trouble for Ellie. Given this lady's identity, if she wanted to kill Umbridge, the most the Ministry of Magic could do was to report Umbridge as "died in the line of duty."

You can't win the fight, and the people behind you are hard to deal with, don't you want to die? !

So Umbridge's attitude towards Ellie became... I can't afford to offend her, but can't I just avoid her?

Of course, Ellie didn't care about Umbridge at all.

But she couldn't do that with another person.

For example, when Ellie was on her routine night patrol again, she suddenly saw the door of the potion room, which had been tightly closed, open with a bang, and then Harry Potter rushed out, grabbing his wizard coat and wiping his tears. Behind him, Snape strode forward, grabbed him in a few steps, and pressed him against the corner.

Then Ellie saw Snape whispered something to Harry, and then Harry nodded slightly, and the two returned to the Potions Room.

“…”

Seeing this scene, Ai Li was silent for a moment, and then a picture appeared in her mind.

Deep in the potions room, Snape was drinking butterbeer with Harry in the room.

"You know what? That Malfoy got drunk after only two glasses of butterbeer. That's really lame."

"That Malfoy is Johnson."

Harry laughed and raised his beer glass. At the same time, Snape came up to him.

"From what you said, you are very brave?"

Hearing Snape's question, Harry pointed at himself.

"Just kidding, I'm super brave, okay... I'm a great drinker."

"You're really good at drinking? You're really brave."

Hearing Harry's answer, Snape sneered, reached out and slapped Harry on the thigh.

"Nice figure, pretty solid."

"Professor, what are you doing..."

Harry felt slightly uncomfortable feeling Snape's touch, and Snape sneered.

"You've been caught several times, and you're still so shy. I think you don't understand at all."

"I understand, what do you understand?"

Harry asked in a low voice, his face flushed, and Snape moved closer to Harry.

"You want to know, I have some good stuff in my room!"

"Good news? Is it a new potion?"

"What's this new potion? It's more exciting than a potion, and it can also teach you how to be a dua girl?"

"Dengdua-niang?"

"Come on, you'll see for yourself."

As he spoke, Snape pulled Harry to his bedroom on the second floor, then closed the door, and then... Harry saw it!

The entire wall was covered with his portraits!

Portraits taken from all angles!

Some were about daily life, some were about playing Quidditch, some were about taking a bath... Hmm? Wait, taking a bath? In the magic photos, Harry was smiling at Snape in front of him, without saying a word. Seeing this, Harry swallowed his saliva and stepped back.

"S, Professor Snape, you have so many photos of me, what on earth is this?!"

"Oh, you're 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, let me see..."

As he spoke, Snape stretched out his hand to grab Harry, and Harry struggled due to the sudden attack.

"No, Professor!"

"show me!"

"No, Professor, what are you doing?!"

"Of course, it's to see if you are developing normally?"

As he spoke, Snape squatted down, and at this moment Harry didn't know where he got the strength from, but pushed him away.

"Professor, please don't!"

Snape, who was pushed away, looked at Harry coldly, then shook his hair violently.

"Listen, let me see!"

"don't want!"

However, before Harry could finish his words, he saw Snape rushing over and pinning him to the ground.

“Professor, please don’t do that! Professor, please don’t do that! Professor…!!”

In the end, Harry's heart-wrenching calls did not have any effect...

And just like that, the night passed.

When Snape put on his clothes again and stood up, Harry was still lying on the bed, staring out the window with lifeless eyes.

"This is a secret between the two of us."

As he spoke, Snape straightened his robes.

"You'd better not tell anyone! If you are going to tell anyone, be careful. I know which branch you are from and which class you are in. You'd better remember it well, understand?"

After saying this, Snape turned and left.

At the same time, Ellie shuddered all over and came to her senses.

Could it be that she was seeing the future? What she saw was... the future?

“…”

Sitting on the broom, Ellie stared at the door of the potion room that closed again and was silent for a moment.

It has nothing to do with me, just go away.
