Harry Potter’s Book of Sin

() The first class after lunch that day is the Defence Against the Dark Arts class that no one wants to attend.Because since Umbridge taught, this originally most anticipated course has become a complete “reading and writing course”.

Reading and copying a thick theoretical book day after day, which student would like it?

"... Umbridge won't trouble us anymore? How did Maca tell you? What else did he say?"

In the Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom, Hermione and the others sat together as usual, and while Umbridge hadn't come, they talked in a low voice.

"Time was tight at the time, and I didn't care to say a few more words with him," Harry shook his head in response to Hermione's eager inquiry. "About Umbridge, Maca only said this. That's it."

"Oh-I really don't know what will happen in a while," Hermione said worriedly. "I really want to know what Maca did. If I can figure it out in advance, I won't be unprepared now."

"...Do you think that old woman can't come?" Ron said with some expectation, "If I were Maca, I would definitely make that pink toad suffer more!"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Hermione glared at him dissatisfiedly, "Maca is not you, so you won't be so disregarded! Although Umbridge really hates it, she is after all an investigation sent by the Ministry of Magic. Officer, if something happens to her at school, the Ministry of Magic will definitely intervene."

"Didn't they intervene?" Ron muttered. "You all saw it at noon. There is a whole team of Aurors in the hall!"

That's right, as mentioned in the first notice on the bulletin board before, the Ministry of Magic will conduct a detailed investigation of Dumbledore's death, and the first wave of investigations will be the Auror investigation teams that have just been sent.

Because of the importance of the matter, even though Professor McGonagall didn't want to agree, she still asked the Aurors to carry out investigations on campus after a long time.

And just as they talked quietly, the sweet class bell rang suddenly, and the well-dressed Umbridge stepped on the bell and walked into the classroom on time.

But unlike usual, Umbridge today looks... how do you say?Some are "too serious".

"Good afternoon, students."

She stood behind the podium, greeted everyone with a vague expression, and started the teaching of this class in the most plain way.

"Good afternoon—Professor Umbridge—"

As usual, the students made a long voice and responded weakly.

"Please turn to page 34 of "Magic Defense Theory", and read Chapter 3 of the textbook-"Key Points for Non-offensive Methods to Deal with Magical Attacks". Please don't talk casually during the reading process."

As soon as he finished speaking, Umbridge took a seat in his chair and stared at his textbook cover in a daze.

"What's wrong with her?" Ron stared at Umbridge for a while, then asked Hermione and Harry with a puzzled look.

"..." Hermione's expression looked a little complicated, and she hesitated, then said in a very soft voice, "If I'm not mistaken...Do you remember what Professor Moody taught before?"

"You mean to say—" Ron recalled for a moment, and immediately his eyes widened, looking extremely surprised.

"Keep your voice down!" Hermione shook her hand quickly and looked around again. She was relieved to see that no one noticed their conversation. "Except for the Imperius Curse, I don't think There are other ways to make her look like this..."

"But—" Ron said unacceptably, "Is that an unforgivable curse?"

Ron, who was born and raised in the magic world since childhood, has the traditional thinking of wizards.For the three unforgivable curses, he would have such a psychological resistance, and it is excusable.

After all, since childhood, whether it is his parents or the social environment, he has been infected at all times.

In the beginning, Voldemort and his Death Eaters spread fear through the three unforgivable curses of "Dare to Use It".The concept of "the use of evil black magic is unforgivable" has become ingrained in the hearts of wizards from beginning to end.

This is like telling a Muggle believer that "the god you believe in is actually just an ordinary ancient wizard." It is not absolutely impossible to convince him, but it must be a very difficult thing.

In fact, among the magic that Maca revealed, there were no more magic that favored darkness, and Ron had certainly seen it a long time ago.

But this time the impact on him was the strongest, because of this curse, he also knew it.

"Don't be stupid, ask me to say, wouldn't it be just right to use it against Umbridge?" Harry said disapprovingly, "Look at the things she did—investigating professors and restricting our actions. He even cancelled all student activity groups, making the entire Hogwarts mess!"

"Let me say--" Harry paused. "That woman is probably one of the Death Eaters at all!"

"Although it's best not to judge casually if there is no evidence, but this time I think Harry is right," Hermione nodded. "In this period, send in an investigator who has nothing to do and can only make trouble. There is definitely a problem-Maca said before school started, there is a problem in the Ministry of Magic."

"This time, since Maca will do this, he must have grasped some clear clue."

The class time is still going on. Although Umbridge stated that "talking is prohibited" before, as time went by, many of the classmates couldn't help but talk secretly.

And when they found that Umbridge did not respond to this, the classroom began to become lively.

Well, of course, it's just a little noisy.After all, Umbridge was still sitting behind the front desk, and no one would behave excessively.

But until the end of the class, Umbridge did not respond to the buzzing in the classroom, let alone a corresponding punishment.

When everyone finally got through to the end of get out of class and the bell rang, Umbridge finally stood up.

Perhaps it was because she had left a too harsh impression on her classmates in the past, and when she suddenly got up, the classroom became quiet again.

"Today's class will end here and get out of class will end."

Picking up the textbook, and after finishing this sentence with a sullen face, she immediately turned and left the classroom.There was no sluggishness in the whole process, and it was said to be calm. Perhaps it would be more appropriate to describe it as "sluggish".

"...It's terrible," Ron looked at Umbridge's distant back, his scalp was a little numb, "It looks like a magic puppet being manipulated!"

"Is there anything like that?" Harry asked curiously. "Is it similar to a Muggle puppet?"

"What's that?" Ron returned to his senses and asked with a surprised look.

...

After dinner that day, Hermione, Ron, and Harry returned to the common room.

"Harry! The training continues tonight! Quickly move, I want to go to the Quidditch stadium for approval!"

As soon as they got through the doorway behind the portrait, before the fat woman even had time to close the doorway, Angelina's excited voice immediately reached their ears.

"Huh? What?"

Harry, who was still immersed in the conversation on the way over, did not react for a while.

"Training! Quidditch training!" Angelina repeated, "Umbridge approved the reorganization of our Gryffindor team! It's easy, no obstacles!"

"Oh--"

Harry froze for a moment, and was about to cheer, but there was a complex expression on his face.

"Hey! What's wrong with you? Are you unhappy?" Angelina had come to him and patted Harry on the shoulder vigorously, "You can train! Get ready!"

"Uh... well, of course," Harry grinned reluctantly, but the smile was obviously stiff. "Of course I'm happy! This couldn't be better!"

Yes, of course he is happy.But while happy, the way Umbridge was in class quietly came to mind.

The thought that Maca might have used only one spell, his life changed dramatically, and this feeling inevitably made him feel a great sense of violation.

After experiencing the difference before and after, Harry couldn't help but understand the true horror of the so-called Unforgivable Curse.

"Don't do this, Harry," Hermione's keenness made her vaguely aware of some of Harry's thoughts. "At this time, we should think in the good way-at least Maca will not abuse magic, otherwise the world around us will definitely It's already messed up!"

"...Yes, "At least you must be rushing homework all night." Although Ron's face is not good, he still comforted him with him, "Don't forget that Snape has given you the punishment homework. . "

"Ah—" Harry patted his cheek sharply, "Um...thank you."

Under the enlightenment of the two close friends, Harry couldn't help raising his spirits, and sent them a smile.

"...If that's the case, Ron, I'm asking you for my homework!" He gave a thumbs up, grinning and showing neat teeth, "If you can't handle all of them, some of them are fine!"

"What are you whispering?" Angelina on the side looked at the whispering three people with strange eyes, "Harry, run quickly! Let's start training every second!"

Under Angelina’s urging, Harry hurried back to the dormitory to get the flying broom and protective gear, and then, in the eyes of Hermione and Ron, followed the other Gryffindor team players out Doorway.

"Don't help him with his homework, do you hear?" Hermione turned her head and said seriously.

"Who would help him!" Ron rolled his eyes immediately.
