Unbehaved Hufflepuff

Chapter 229 The truth? unimportant



When Lumi walked out of the Defense Against the Dark Arts office, he felt very relieved.

Get the paper and pen that Umbridge once punished the students for copying, and step on her wand to break it.

During this time, he had already figured out how to get away with it.

He hummed tuneless music and staggered back to the dormitory.

After confirming that Lumi had returned, Filch turned to the Defense Against the Dark Arts office and saw Umbridge's miserable state.

There were no obvious injuries on the exposed parts of her body, but her overall mental state seemed not to be good.

How does it feel?

Feeling like going crazy.

He is already unconscious. If he does not receive effective treatment, I am afraid that this senior investigator will really become a big fool.

So Filch rushed her to the hospital wing.

After Madam Pomfrey's diagnosis, it was determined that the hospital wing could not cure her and she needed to be transferred to St. Mungo's.

Despite this, Madam Pomfrey still prescribed two bottles of magic potion for her in a responsible manner, and only after confirming that her condition had improved a bit, did she have her sent to St. Mungo's.

Umbridge spent two weeks in hospital at St. Mungo's.

Because of this, Lumi was called to the Wizengamot by the Ministry of Magic, saying that he was asked to prove himself.

The reason Lumi gave was that Umbridge was studying dark magic with him in the office, but failed to master the heat and ended up in St. Mungo's.

Fudge and other close confidants did not believe this excuse.

Other wizards in the Wizengamot also thought it was too ridiculous.

After all, Umbridge's injury looks like the Cruciatus Curse.

But Lumi later called Harry and other young wizards who had been persecuted by Umbridge and asked him to tell what he had done under her orders in Umbridge's office.

One by one, they took out the papers and pens that had been enchanted with black magic in the office. The injuries on the backs of these people's hands were consistent with the red handwriting on these papers.

Both Professor Patrol and Filch can prove that it was indeed Lumi himself who came from the past. As for why, who knows?

After a series of evidence and Lumi's deliberate guidance, their attention had to be focused on Umbridge's use of dark magic to physically punish students.

However, the officials of the Ministry of Magic are not fools, and they cannot just follow Lumi's rhythm.

They can think.

There have been many speculations about the cause of this incident, especially the moment the evidence was brought out.

It is true that Umbridge used dark magic on her students.

So suppose that as Lumi is a student, Umbridge wants to use the Cruciatus Curse on him, and then Lumi gives herself a shield that can reflect the magic.

This caused Umbridge's dark magic to go wrong, resulting in her hospitalization.

This argument is tenable.

This is also the truth that most officials want to believe.

After all, who knows if Umbridge actually used the Cruciatus Curse.

Her wand was broken and the flashback spell couldn't be used, so it couldn't be confirmed.

But among those who have come from that era, who has not learned the three magic spells to protect themselves?

But no one planned to bring it up.

As a victim, Lumi used such a seemingly joking statement to save the face of the Ministry of Magic. There is no way they would be stupid enough to do such a thing that damages their reputation.

At worst, it can be said that Umbridge drifted away after gaining power. It was her own personal behavior, and the Ministry of Magic could only be considered ignorant.

As for how the Daily Prophet reported this incident?

What is written in the newspaper is entirely up to them.

Even Fudge knows that it doesn't matter what the facts are now. Even if Lumi is really convicted, it can be said that he was forced to defend himself or something else.

It does no one any good to reveal the truth or anything else.

If things develop to that point, not only will Umbridge not be able to keep it, she won't even be able to keep her position as minister.

The inquisitor you sent first expelled the professors from Hogwarts, and then used dark magic to physically punish the students.

In order to protect himself, the student 'accidentally' called the investigating officer into the hospital, but you turned around and convicted him.

Once such a statement is released, it will be a big joke.

This was an extremely serious blow to the Ministry of Magic's reputation.

Fudge couldn't handle it, and no official in the Ministry of Magic could.

In the Wizengamot Tribunal, it was time to vote by show of hands.

Those who thought Lumi was guilty cited more than a dozen people.

They thought what Lumi said was too unbelievable, but when they saw that they were the only ones raising their hands, they immediately realized something was wrong.

When the acquittal vote began, Fudge was the first to raise his hand.

Immediately afterwards, Fudge's party all raised their hands and voted to acquit Lumi.

Another group of people also raised their hands.

After all, if Lumi was really thrown into Azkaban, the possible consequences would be very terrible.

A young wizard can put an adult wizard into the hospital without suffering any injuries.

If you can't provoke someone with such strength, try not to provoke him. What's more, they have given you a step and you can just walk on. There is no need to make enemies for yourself.

In the end, the hearing acquitted Lumi and the incident was easily resolved.

While Umbridge was in the hospital, Harry took the opportunity to start the party.

The purpose of the first gathering is to get people to join, so naturally it is impossible to take people directly to the Room of Requirement.

They took advantage of Saturday's Hogsmeade day and started the gathering in the Hog's Head pub, which was less crowded.

Harry had expected not many people to come.

After all, in his opinion, the Weasley twins, Ron and Ginny, and Neville would be enough.

Who would have thought that there would be almost no seats available at the Pig Head Bar right now.

Some people came to give Harry some expectations, such as Hannah Abbott, Ginny's roommate, etc.

But some people surprised him.

"You actually came?"

He looked at the platinum head in disbelief.

"Why can't I come?"

Draco snorted and said, "Lumi gave you the counter-curse book, don't think I don't know."

Having said this, Hermione next to her curled her lips and elbowed Draco.

This made him say awkwardly: "Well, I'm not happy with that pink toad either. After all, I can't use magic after learning it. I can't blame you for it."

"What's more...that person really came back."

When Draco finished saying this, the little wizards around him took a breath of air.

The temperature at the Hog's Head seems a little warmer because of them?

"Even though a lot of people don't believe it, it's true."

Cedric, who was sitting not far away, said, "You saw it too, didn't you?"

Harry nodded, he was excited now.

Afterwards, everyone signed their names on the paper and agreed on the time and place of the next meeting, as well as how to enter the Room of Requirement.
