Chapter 148: When Desires Are Satisfied, It's Time for Repayment
As a qualified brain nerd, Percy sees Cedric as a competitor who wants to jump in the queue and go the white-faced route.
Well, Percy was right, Cedric's espionage mission was indeed to seduce Umbridge.
At least it works every time.
Fudge, the early developer of Toad, didn't care about these things at all.
He is standing on the edge of a cliff now.
Take a step back and fall into the abyss; go further, continue with more than one second of life.
Fudge didn't care about Umbridge, all his attention was now on Marietta and Cedric.
He looked at the two enthusiastically and said:
"Talk about it, come on, dear, don't be shy, let's hear it!"
Marietta took a deep breath and glanced at William before she mustered up her courage:
"I have nothing to report, no gathering at all, no organisation.
William...Professor Stark, has always followed school rules and laws.
Professor Umbridge is framing him! "
The smile on Fudge's face froze, and he felt a little tinnitus, so much so that he had just had an auditory hallucination.
Umbridge was also stunned on the spot, his face quickly turned ashen, as if he had been punched in the face.
After a while, she roared: "What nonsense are you talking about, you damn girl!
It wasn't you who came to my office at night and said that Stark was meeting regularly, forming Boy Scouts, teaching students magic..."
"No, I didn't say that at all, you're lying!" cried Marietta. "You old witch!"
Umbridge really wanted to give Marietta two slaps, and she threatened in exasperation:
"There's a party tonight, Miss Akemore, and you said it yourself! Don't forget your... mother's letter!
Do you want her to lose her job? "
"I think... as long as the IQ is greater than zero, you can understand Miss Akemore." Professor McGonagall interrupted coldly.
"Unless you don't understand human speech, Professor Umbridge."
Umbridge ignored Professor McGonagall. She held out her hands, grabbed Marietta, and pulled her hard to face her.
Recommended, it's really good, it's worth installing it, after all, you can read books in cache and read aloud offline!
But Dumbledore was already up and raised his wand.
Umbridge jumped back and let go of Marietta, her freshly scalded hands raised tremblingly in the air.
An angry look appeared on Dumbledore's face:
"I won't allow you to be so rough with my students, Dolores!"
"Calm down," Fudge said hurriedly. "There's another witness."
"Yes..." Umbridge panted, "You're right, Minister, I...I lost my way.
Cedric? "
Under the gazes of everyone, the second witness Cedric said:
"Yes, I want to report, I was punished physically, and I was punished with black magic items."
Fudge cheered: "Really? Great... no, I mean, it's bad.
But I will do justice for you, boy. put the truth you know,
Say it all! "
Umbridge felt bad, and was about to stop Cedric when William's cold eyes just happened to come over.
His lips moved silently and threatened:
"You will be sharked within three days!"
Umbridge turned pale as if struck by lightning, and his body began to tremble violently involuntarily.
Without Umbridge's obstruction, Cedric calmly said:
"I reported Professor Umbridge, she used black magic items to physically punish me."
He rolled up his sleeves, and there was a shallow wound on his arm. "She also asked me to frame William, saying that after I graduate, I can become an assistant minister like Percy Weasley."
Everyone looked at Percy, his eyes dodged and his head lowered in panic.
"Nonsense!" Umbridge's teeth chattered as he spoke.
"I have never corporally punished you. Every time I am in confinement, I have a close heart-to-heart with you... Your wounds are caused by yourself!"
Cedric said to himself:
"If you don't believe me, you can search Professor Umbridge's office.
I also have Hufflepuff students here, a report letter jointly written. "
He took out a letter and handed it to Dumbledore.
All the little badgers are signed.
As the only academy that has never been out of a dark wizard, the unity of Hufflepuff is really not a casual talk!
Looking at Dumbledore reading the letters, Fudge's heart has begun to wow, wow.
Trap... Fudge felt like he was being set by Umbridge.
Shouldn't this guy betray himself long ago and board the big ship leading to a new era?
Otherwise, how could they find two witnesses, all of whom turned against the water.
Umbridge also realized the delicate situation, and she hurriedly shouted:
"It doesn't matter, I have other evidence...physical evidence!
I found a list in the classroom that said 'D.A' and had the signatures of many students. "
Fudge wanted to leave, but when he heard "D.A", his ears froze again, and the last glimmer of hope ignited in his heart.
Umbridge handed the parchment to Minister Fudge.
After Fudge took it, a smile broke out on his face and gave it directly to Percy.
"Percy, read it out loud!"
Percy held the parchment, glanced at the contents, and then widened his eyes with a look of embarrassment.
He hesitantly said: "Minister..."
Fudge thought that Percy wanted to go against the water too, stared directly at him, and said solemnly: "I'll let you read it immediately!"
Percy had no choice but to read the parchment.
It begins with the explosive "Initiated by Her Royal Highness Umbridge, the First Princess of the World", and the inscription is your "Fudge of the Knights of Merlin, Your Eternal Loyalty".
The content of the letter is simple:
Fudge told Umbridge to expel Dumbledore and William from Hogwarts as soon as possible.
William kept asking the house-elves to intercept Umbridge's letters. This kind of thing used a copy spell, and a lot of it remained.
Tonight, he left a letter in the classroom, using Transfiguration to change the content.
When Umbridge looked at it, it was indeed a D.A list, but after the magic disappeared, it changed back to letters.
Without Umbridge to take it, Fudge was already growling.
"A false accusation! A blatant false accusation! This is a false letter!"
Fudge tried to grab the parchment, but William snapped his fingers and the letter floated in mid-air.
He said calmly: "It seems obvious, Minister Fudge.
You have no witnesses, no physical evidence, and some are just harassment and malicious slander.
I will file a lawsuit against Wizengamore for your defamation.
And, of course, Umbridge's alleged abuse of students..."
Fudge shouted: "I am a minister, and now I have ministerial immunity, and Wizengamore has no right to try me..."
"Not anymore." Dumbledore stood up and looked at Fudge, as if looking at a clown.
"There was an emergency meeting in Wizengamore when you came to Hogwarts.
The second impeachment has been passed, and you have been impeached and removed from office. "
Fudge's lips were blue with anger, and he waved his arms: "You guys deliberately led me here from the Ministry of Magic?!"
"Almost, I would like to thank Professor Umbridge for his divine assist." William laughed. "You wouldn't come without her."
Fudge's legs were weak, and he walked to Dumbledore's desk, his voice trembling:
"Albus, I've helped you more than once... spare me, I don't want to be imprisoned.
I am willing to not be a minister, and I am willing to give this position to you..."
"Help me? Let the Death Eaters ignore me, deliberately slander me, and send Umbridge to Hogwarts. Is this a help?" Dumbledore said in disgust.
"I was scared, I was so scared!" Fudge defended.
"I'm not as strong as you. It's a very difficult thing to believe that the mysterious man has been resurrected..."
Dumbledore looked at Fudge without the slightest pity.
"The hard things and the things that have to be done are often the same thing.
Nothing meaningful is easy, and there is no easy word in adult life. "
Fudge looked bleak: "If we can talk privately...I can explain it."
"Stay in the courtroom in Wizengamore. That's the best place for your defense."
Fudge's lips trembled, choked softly, and ran towards Kingsley again.
"I am the Minister of Magic and I order you to escort me back to the Ministry now to safety!"
Kingsley was uncharacteristically, he shook his head and said firmly:
"I don't think so, Mr. Minister...you'd better stay here."
"Kingsley...you?!" Fudge was surprised.
"Minister... I'm a good person!" Kingsley said calmly. "I am a member of the Order of the Phoenix!"
"..."
Fudge looked at William again, and suddenly fell to his knees with a thud.
"William, I beg you... I beg you!"
"When desire is satisfied, it is time for repayment." William looked at Fudge and said softly:
"You choose your own path, and it's time to repay."
