Chapter 381 Slytherin Pendant

As time went by, Umbridge's face became more and more ugly.

She knew very well that Mike's purpose here was to delay them so that the organization behind him, which was most likely Dumbledore's power, would have time to retreat.

Gritting her teeth, Umbridge roared at the strikers:

"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and catch him!"

The strikers looked at each other, helpless in their eyes.

As combatants, they knew very well the consequences of attacking Ping An in such a small environment, but Umbridge was the Deputy Minister of Magic and the direct leader of their operation. Her orders must be obeyed.

So, they showed their work experience as professional scoundrels.

"Puff puff puff!"

With a muffled sound, several sparse spells flew towards Mike with tail flames.

Umbridge and the Slytherins behind her quickly cast the Armor Charm, but something unexpected happened. The spells had just landed on the mist shield and disappeared before they could be deflected.

Mike, who was standing in the Peace Guarding Charm, was also stunned for a moment, and then he realized that the strikers were slacking off. The spells they released had no killing power at all, and they were not even qualified to be deflected. They only had sound and light effects.

The scene at the stairs became very awkward for a while. Umbridge obviously saw the truth of the matter. At this moment, she was looking at the strikers with a shocked face.

The strikers, however, did not blush or beating their hearts, and continued to throw those flashy "fireworks" at Mike.

"Enough!" Umbridge yelled, "What are you doing? Use all your strength! All your strength!"

Upon hearing this, a middle-aged man among the strikers turned his head and said helplessly:

"This is already all we can do, Minister Umbridge. With our abilities, we can only do this."

Umbridge was almost mad with anger. She pointed at the middle-aged striker with a trembling finger, her lips trembling but she couldn't say anything.

She now regretted why she didn't bring the Aurors with her. If they were those Aurors who had been strictly trained, they would definitely do their best to execute the orders as long as she gave them.

Mike, who was standing next to him, secretly gave a thumbs up to the strikers.

He once thought that this kind of passive sabotage with the excuse of lack of ability only existed in the workplace of Muggle society. Now it seems that whether it is Muggles or wizards, the reaction is the same when facing stupid leaders.

Time passed slowly. After having fun with the strikers for nearly an hour, Mike finally took the initiative to remove the peace guarding spell.

After such a long time, the members of the da army who should have run away have all run away, and most of those who did not run away have now been arrested. There is no point in continuing the stalemate.

Umbridge obviously understood this, so the expression on her face was very ugly. She gasped and stared at Mike, as if she wanted to eat Mike alive.

The strikers became active at this time. They rushed forward and hugged Mike's hands and feet in an instant.

However, although they looked aggressive, they actually did not use any force, because they did not even take Mike's wand away.

They are not fools. From Mike's performance just now, it is obvious that they are not able to deal with him, so continuing to be passive is the best choice.

You have to know that Mike is still a minor. The mind of such people is not fully developed and they are most likely to be impulsive.

What if you really piss him off and let him fight to the death?

Work is important, but life is more important!

Shaking his head, Mike handed the wand to one of the strikers, and under the other's shocked gaze, he slowly said:

"Don't be nervous, I will go with you. But you have to help me keep the wand safe. If it is damaged, I will come to you."

After that, Mike effortlessly broke free from the strikers' restraints and slowly came to Umbridge.

"Humph!"

Umbridge snorted coldly, turned around and walked straight downstairs, while Mike followed her expressionlessly.

The strikers and Slytherins watched them slowly leave, and finally reacted until their figures disappeared in the darkness, and hurriedly followed.

In the dark corridor, Mike and Umbridge walked slowly surrounded by a large group.

Umbridge's breathing had eased, but her face was still extremely gloomy.

On the other hand, Mike behind her looked relaxed. There was no one within three meters around him, because everyone knew that Mike could cast spells without a wand, so no one dared to approach him.

Soon, everyone came to Umbridge's office.

The strikers, including the Slytherins, were all left outside the door, while Umbridge and Mike entered silently.

Mike's eyes suddenly brightened up. The layout of Umbridge's office was basically the same as last time. The burning fireplace and the magic lights on the wall illuminated the entire office.

But at this moment, there was an acquaintance sitting at the round table in the middle of the office.

"Chris, you haven't left yet?"

Umbridge said to the man, and the latter turned around when he heard it.

When he turned around, he immediately revealed what he was holding in his hand. It was an exquisite pendant box. The serpentine logo representing Slytherin on the simple gold box surface was flashing a strange green light under the light.

Mike was stunned for a moment, because what Chris was holding was the Slytherin locket that he had been looking for for a long time!

"I just wanted to see what you got." Chris's eyes fell on Mike, "But now it seems that your harvest is not good, but fortunately you still caught a big fish."

After saying this, Umbridge's expression became darker.

Originally, after receiving the news today, she was going to catch the organization suspected of Dumbledore's power in one fell swoop, but now it was all messed up by Mike.

But what Chris said made sense. Fortunately, Mike was caught, otherwise they would really get nothing tonight.

Now she could only hope that Mike could give out some useful information.

"Well, I should go too." Chris put away the pendant box. "Good luck, Ms. Umbridge."

After saying that, Chris and Mike passed each other and walked towards the door without even looking at Mike.

"Wait!"

Chris's body suddenly stopped. He slowly turned around and looked at the source of the voice - Mike.

"What's wrong, Mike, is there anything else?"

"What was that in your hand just now?"

Mike stared at the other person expressionlessly, his fingers constantly stretching, and at the same time, the surging magic power in his body was also ready to move. Now he really wanted to grab the pendant box directly!

"Are you talking about this?" Chris took out the pendant box and shook it in front of Mike. "This is an antique collected by Professor Umbridge. I am very interested in the Slytherin snake symbol on it, so I exchanged this pendant for providing her with information about your secret meeting in the Room of Requirement."

"Chris!"

Umbridge on the side shouted.

Because she was afraid of Mike and others' revenge, she had never planned to reveal the source of the information from the beginning, but what surprised her was that Chris actually took the initiative to confess to Mike!

"It's okay, Professor Umbridge!" Chris's mouth corners rose, and his eyes looked at Mike without any hesitation, "I'm not afraid of him."

"You..."

Umbridge had nothing to say.

Mike, who was looking at Chris, suddenly said:

"I am also very interested in this pendant. I wonder if you have any intention to transfer it. I think I should be able to give you a satisfactory price."

Hearing this, Chris's expression became a little strange. He stared at Mike carefully for a long time, and finally chuckled and said:

"I think we should wait until you are free to talk about this matter. After all, you haven't figured it out yet."

"Okay." Mike nodded expressionlessly, "Then I will come to you later."

Umbridge saw all the conversation between the two. Finally, after Mike finished the last sentence, she couldn't help it.

In her opinion, Mike's last sentence was simply a threat!

"Mike! You dare to threaten your classmates here!"

Umbridge yelled, trying to intimidate Mike in this way.

Then the latter ignored him and sat down at the small round table.

The other protagonist Chris also waved his hand and left the office.

For a moment, Umbridge, who was ignored, felt a little embarrassed.

At this moment, Umbridge really wanted to use her "treasures" to entertain Mike well, so that he would know how terrible she was.

But Umbridge also knew that Mike was completely different from the students she usually "entertained".

Not to mention Mike's strong personal strength, even if Mike was desperate and announced the secret of his origin, it would be enough to make him drink a pot.

"Hu! Hu! Hu!"

Umbridge took deep breaths repeatedly, and only sat opposite Mike after her emotions stabilized a little, and said with a smile:

"Mike, what did you do in the Room of Requirement? How many people were there? Who were they?"

Faced with Umbridge's questioning, Mike didn't react at all.

Now his mind was full of things about the Slytherin locket, and he didn't want to pay attention to Umbridge at all.

In fact, in Mike's opinion, he just needed to keep silent now.

Although Dumbledore was caught, with his own strong strength and extraordinary prestige, Fudge couldn't hold him if he wanted to leave.

And now such a big thing happened in Hogwarts. If nothing unexpected happens, Dumbledore will definitely return to Hogwarts to deal with it by tomorrow morning.

"You have completely lost now, why don't you tell the truth?"

"Why do you want to do this? To tell you the truth, there are more than one person who was caught. Even if you don't say it, others will tell it in the end."

...

Umbridge kept asking, but the response to her was still silence, endless silence.

Gradually, Umbridge's breathing became rapid, and the smile on her face could no longer be held, replaced by a gnashing of teeth.

"Okay! Bang!" Umbridge slammed the table, "You don't have to answer these questions, but there is one question you must answer!"

Umbridge opened her bloodshot eyes and stared at Mike in front of her.

"What is the purpose of this organization! What is it for!"

Mike's eyes suddenly opened, which made Umbridge excited. She thought Mike would give her an answer this time, but to her disappointment, Mike sneered and said:

"Guess!"

"Ah! I've had enough of you!"

Umbridge grabbed her hair desperately. Mike's attitude of neither cooperating nor resisting was really a headache.

She felt that she was about to lose her mind.

Umbridge began to run to the bookcase on the side. She remembered that there should be a small bottle of truth serum hidden there, which was specially prepared for extremely disobedient students. Umbridge was ready to fight if Mike continued like this, and try to force Mike to drink the truth serum.

Anyway, Mike didn't have a wand now, so his strength should be greatly reduced.

However, she had only taken two steps when the door to the office was suddenly knocked again.

Umbridge froze, and after standing there for a few seconds, she began to take a deep breath again. She didn't open the door until she had arranged her clothes and put a smile on her face again.

The two people who came to her were very familiar to Mike - Ron and Neville.

At this moment, the two were being held at the back of their heads by Goyle and Crabbe with their wands, and they dared not move.

"Professor Umbridge, we just caught them on the eighth floor." Malfoy smiled maliciously, "I think we should hand them over to you!"

"Oh! You came just in time!" Umbridge looked at Mike sarcastically, and then said, "Come on, let's go. This is obviously not a good place to talk. I know a place that is most suitable for bad guys like them to tell the truth!" After that

, Umbridge walked out of the office first, and Malfoy and others followed with Ron and Neville. They obviously saw Mike in the office, and they made a face at Mike before leaving.

Ron and Neville kept looking at Mike for help, but unfortunately, Mike didn't want to save them at all.

"Bang!"

With a muffled sound, the office became quiet again.

Mike knew very well that there must be many people guarding him outside the door, so he didn't want to escape at all, but took out a gold galleon from his arms and pressed it a few times.

The fire dragon pattern on the front of the gold galleon quickly deformed and finally became the appearance of Penelope.

"What's up, Mike?"

"I think I may have found the locket." Mike said seriously after hearing Penelope's familiar voice, "It's in Chris's hands now. I need you to confirm the authenticity of the locket. I have sent you the details via text."

"Got it!"

Penelope's head on the Galleon turned back into a dragon, and Mike leaned back on the high-backed chair.

Umbridge's affairs were not worth mentioning to him now, and Dumbledore would definitely solve all of this.

Only the Slytherin locket was the most important, and it was the key to defeating Voldemort!
