Chapter 281 Muggle Items
A few hours before Harry was "wrongfully imprisoned" -
Gryffindor's common room and dormitory were swarmed like locusts, and experienced a brutal raid by Umbridge's Investigative Team (Slytherin version).
"It's gone - everything is gone - the chess set that Seamus gave Harry is gone, and Dean's playing cards are gone -"
Ron collapsed as he looked at his scattered luggage and overturned laundry bin. He half-prone himself on the ground, tears of despair filling his eyes.
As a senior board game enthusiast, he hid these things in the deepest part of his suitcase after Umbridge issued the ban on entertainment.
It's a pity that as a dormitory with only one Potter and one Weasley -
They were born with a buff that attracted hatred, and the dormitory was searched extremely thoroughly by Draco who came there following the smell, and any prohibited items related to Muggles were seized.
"Oh no, my mom will scold me to death." Dean, the roommate who was implicated by the two, looked particularly unhappy. "She originally wanted me to study for a Muggle degree after graduation, but all the Muggle exam books she gave me were taken away."
"What on earth are they trying to do?" Ron's freckles, which he had just covered up with various spells and potions from Madam Pomfrey, appeared again in anger. "Malfoy is the one who started the investigation! Are they planning to tear up the peace agreement signed between our prefects? This is a provocation to us!"
They were not the only ones who suffered from the murder. All the students whose homes were ransacked had gathered in the common room.
"Why did those Slytherins suddenly go crazy?" Fred and George frowned in confusion. Their various joke products also suffered. "And do you still have the photo or figurine of Jade in your dormitory? And her clothes?"
"Gone." Ginny's face was half hidden in the shadows, and she spoke in a gloomy voice, "Parkinson, Bulstrode - I want to poison them all - let them be buried with the expelled Jade -"
Her expression and reaction made all the little lions present shudder. For a moment, they even thought they saw a dark version of Snape.
"Uh... calm down, Ginny." Ron tried to comfort her. "It's all my fault. If I had known that Malfoy would give me the Muggle items when he asked me for them, I would have given them to him. It turns out he was hinting... Oh... these Slytherins always leave half of their words unsaid. If I had thought of this earlier, I wouldn't have suffered this misfortune -"
Under his sister's fierce gaze, Ron shut his mouth awkwardly, but then he was hit hard on the head by Hermione again:
"No, compared to this, you should think about what kind of punishment we will face if these things fall into Umbridge's hands!"
"These prohibited items violate at least thirty or forty of the student rules she set! She can expel any of us at her will!"
"For example, Harry, he always makes her angry and is punished to copy every week! His hands are going to rot! This is a legitimate excuse for Umbridge to fire him!"
As if her words were followed by the law, as her voice fell...
Umbridge's sweet voice came from outside the door of the common room, and she aimed at her second thorn in the eye after Jane Jade:
"Mr. Potter—"
This is the last precious image of poor Harry from the Cauldron before he was arrested and imprisoned.
......
Although the little lions' anger levels have reached max, in the Slug Club on the other side, a group of little snakes are dividing the spoils.
"We've come back with a full load! You didn't see the expressions on the faces of those Gryffindors!"
Draco held his head high with pride, while Warrington and Montague beside him were each carrying a large bag.
Daphne and the others showed awe, gave thumbs up, and made curious noises:
"How did they do that? Were they willing to do that?"
Receiving the admiration from his friends, Draco raised his head even higher, like a proud and proud rooster:
"What did Jade say? If you don't accept my toast, you will be punished!" He showed a haughty smile on his face, "I asked Weasley for Muggle items in a nice way, but he thought I was going to frame them and said I was going to report them to Umbridge!!"
Although no one believed that his "nice tone" was really "nice", as long as the result was correct, no one cared what kind of psychological trauma was left on the Gryffindor Lions.
Draco coughed twice, pretending to be serious, and acted like a dean of studies:
"As one of the leaders of the investigation team, I have the responsibility to pass on Umbridge's spirit and regulate student behavior on the front line."
"I must be lenient with myself and strict with others. As the leader of the investigation team, I was deeply distressed and unable to sleep at night when I saw students carrying prohibited items and causing chaos on campus. I felt that I had not fulfilled my duties and failed to correct the campus atmosphere in a timely manner."
He puffed out his chest and asked everyone to look at the glittering badge on his chest:
"In order to help them focus on their studies and avoid having their minds corrupted by Muggle items, I had to help them obtain a special approved educational order for surprise dormitory inspections from the Supreme Professor Umbridge and lead a team to search for their prohibited items."
Draco directed Warrington and Montague to unpack the two packages and place them on the table.
The contents of the bag fell out. There were a lot of strange things, such as Muggle books, Muggle snacks, Muggle board games and card games...
But his smug expression suddenly collapsed, as if he thought of something disgusting, and frowned:
"Merlin, I've been in such trouble. The Lion's Den stinks, especially the red-haired Mole, who has a bucket of unwashed socks! Even with the free house-elves at school to work for him, he still has a bucket of unwashed clothes!"
"I'm not surprised that the whole nest of moles stinks." Blaise pinched his nose in disgust. "Didn't you read the Daily Prophet? His mother said that she has to wash all the smelly socks in the house and clean the rooms. I can't imagine how she would beat me if I did that to my mother."
The little snakes collectively made a nauseating sound.
Draco used two fingers to pick out Ron's part of the two large bags of Muggle items, threw them aside, and used several times to clean his fingers.
After the nausea subsided, he continued:
"Goyle and Crabbe were sent to check the dormitories of Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff. However, I guess with their intelligence, they can't even get into the door of the common room. Parkinson and Bulstrode were sent to check the girls' dormitory. This bag is full of photos and figurines of Jade that they found."
In order to divert these members of the investigation team who were loyal to Umbridge after being given power, he tried his best to properly arrange the personnel, give full play to his ancestral acting skills, avoid arousing the other party's suspicion, and finally obtained the right to dispose of contraband items.
But after hearing this, Daphne's face instantly turned darker than the bottom of a pot. She didn't know that her expression was as dark as Ginny's:
"How can they keep photos and figurines of jade in their dormitories to look at day and night? Why don't they look at themselves in the mirror?"
But her anger grew even more intense after she saw some photos of Jane Jade being torn apart during the search by Pansy and Millicent, and some broken figurines:
"I'm going to poison them - Parkinson, Bulstrode - why aren't they dead yet?"
With a smile that could be described as terrifying, she gently put the photos together, releasing them to return to their original state.
This made all the little snakes present quiet down, not daring to say a word.
"Why don't you say anything? Pick something." Daphne slightly raised her little finger that couldn't even be painted with nail polish, with a "gentle" smile on her face, "See if there is anything you think is useful. Don't worry, your days of suffering will be over soon."
Although they knew she was talking about Umbridge's high-handed rule, the little snakes still felt the hairs on their backs stand up.
——I always feel that this dark version of Daphne is gently telling them, "Your life will soon be over."
Under her low pressure, several pure-blooded snakes moved forward tremblingly, showing expressions of disgust and contempt towards the pile of Muggle items. However, thinking that these were necessary props for their "performance", they had to pinch them with two fingers to reduce the contact area as much as possible.
"Our performance time is mainly divided into two parts: morning jogging and Defense Against the Dark Arts." Daphne's voice returned to normal. "Defense Against the Dark Arts teaches us fifth-year Slytherin Shield Charms. The questions and procedures are fixed, and we'd better answer according to Muggle theory."
Theodore placed a piece of parchment that detailed Umbridge's class schedule on the desk. It was filled with Umbridge's questions and the students' arranged answers. They had already taken seven or eight Shield Charm classes and could now recite the schedule by heart.
[Q1: How should you respond when someone casts a curse or a poison spell on you? 】
"That's an easy question. According to the game, maxing out your dodge value or using the invincibility frames of flash is enough to dodge most attacks." Draco answered immediately, "Oh - I really miss the days when I could play game consoles freely. To be honest, I actually miss Dumbledore."
"You have to answer in a Muggle way." Montague, who was trying to offer suggestions, made a disapproving sound. "If it were me, I would say, observe the direction of his spell, dodge to the side, and then follow up with a roll. Wait for the opportunity, and once you get close to him, give priority to subduing him. For example, I can pretend to poke him in the face, but actually kick him in the stomach, and knock him down with a fake move -"
He was holding a copy of "The Ultimate Guide to Free Fighting" and reading it with great interest. He even danced with joy and couldn't help but sigh:
"I was wondering why the Gryffindor Quidditch team hit people so hard. It turns out that they practice Muggle free fighting every day. I think the players on our team need to train their biceps more. We can't lose to them. Draco, what do you think?"
Draco made no comment, choosing instead to look at Umbridge's next question:
[Q2: When the opponent's spell is too powerful, how should you respond? 】
Theodore carefully flipped through a book titled "Understanding Muggle Supplies from the Perspective of Charms (Muggle Studies Series)":
"The Shield Charm - Here is a paragraph: The bulletproof vests, shields, and helmets used by Muggles can be regarded as a Muggle-exclusive Shield Charm."
"So the answer to this question is, wear a bulletproof vest, a helmet, and hold a wand in one hand and a shield in the other."
"A very Muggle answer." Daphne gave a thumbs up and picked up a boxing helmet. "Here, this helmet is for you."
Montague also handed Draco a pair of boxing gloves, claiming that they would be very helpful to him.
Then they disguised a bunch of Muggle books to look like textbooks, and each of them stuffed a few sundries into their backpacks, dividing up the Muggle items one by one, preparing to give Umbridge more blows in her class, so that the parents would be shocked by the "Muggle Studies" taught by this professor.
"What are you going to do with the rest of this, Draco?"
Blaise asked, pointing at a mess of cards, pokers and Muggle biscuits.
Speaking of this, Draco became excited:
"These are all stolen goods from the Gryffindor suspects! We must catch the criminals hiding among the students and corrupting everyone's minds with Muggle items for the honorable Professor Umbridge! Especially those who are always against her!"
He smiled maliciously, and as if calling out to his enemy, he locked onto Umbridge's number two target of hatred:
"Yes, it's that damn Scarhead... Potter, it's time for him to make sacrifices for everyone's better future."
Killing two birds with one stone, Draco, who gained Umbridge's trust and dealt a heavy blow to his arch-enemy Potter, announced:
"Slytherin will remember the Savior's contribution to saving the school. For this, I warmly...deeply mourn his expulsion. I swear not to call him Scarhead for a day...an hour. Tribute to Potter. May Merlin bless him."
It's a pity that he didn't understand that the operation he was so proud of was...
He sent his mortal enemy directly to Jian Yu, turning the punishment into a reward.
Therefore, at this moment, Draco, who still did not understand what "extreme joy leads to sorrow", was elated about having successfully sent away a savior, and happily laid out plans one after another:
"On the open day, when we get hot from our morning run, we'll take off our wizard robes and show them our fashionable T-shirts. And when Toad is in class, you must remember to answer all questions according to his instructions—"
"After all this is done, my father will probably kick Umbridge out on the spot. I hope Mom won't faint from anger, but they will definitely understand me. This is all for the bright future of their beloved son and for their best partner Jade to return to school... But I'm really worried that they will faint after seeing our Muggle outfits..."
Lucius and Narcissa, who were far away at Malfoy Manor, sneezed.
For some reason, the couple felt a little uneasy.
My son should be doing well in school, right?
