HP: White Lord of Slytherin

Chapter 233 Organization Exposed

While Gloria was still guessing the identity of this strange girl, Umbridge gave the answer.

After Harry repeatedly denied the existence of the organization, she couldn't wait to get witnesses to come forward.

"This is Miss Edgecombe." She was so excited that her nostrils flared. "She is Qiu Zhang's friend. According to her, Qiu Zhang invited her to join an organization in October, saying that Potter would lead them to learn spells. Miss Edgecombe refused for safety reasons. She thought she should study with the professor."

Umbridge couldn't stop talking, and continued: "Originally, Miss Edgecombe thought that the organization had not been approved for application, but recently she discovered that Qiu Zhang always disappeared at night, and even her friend couldn't find him. So she guessed that the organization existed secretly, and Qiu Zhang attended the organization's party during that time period."

Qiu Zhang looked completely betrayed, and he looked at Aikmo with disappointment and anger.

The toad-faced woman continued, "The recent OWL exams have made the students very nervous. Out of concern for them, I invited every student to come to my office for a good talk to relieve their stress. That's when Miss Aikmo told me about this."

Ikemo nodded quickly, "Yes, I'm worried about Qiu."

Although he said this, his expression showed he was completely guilty.

"Running gargoyles!" Fudge couldn't suppress his joy. "You did the right thing. It's right to care about your friends. Mrs. Edgecombe taught you very well."

After hearing what he said, Gloria noticed that there was a woman standing behind Kingsley and the others.

She didn't believe that Ikmo was doing this out of concern, so while everyone's attention was there, she cast the Imperius Curse on Ikmo silently and without a wand.

Without anyone knowing, an instruction appeared in Ikmo's mind: Tell the truth!

"I said all this for my mother's promotion. I hope Professor Umbridge and Minister Fudge will abide by their agreement!"

Fudge's laughter stopped abruptly, and the office fell into silence.

Draco had been paying attention to his girlfriend's movements, and when he saw this situation he knew who had made the move.

"Hahahaha—" He couldn't help laughing out loud.

Umbridge stiffened her neck and said, "In any case, Miss Aikmer's report is true."

Gloria took Draco and quietly took two steps back, whispering, "She must have done something to Qiu Zhang."

"With her character, she would do such a thing." The boy was puzzled. "But Qiu Zhang doesn't look like someone who would bow her head because of pain."

Umbridge talked about how she got the information from Qiu Zhang.

"After listening to what Miss Edgemore said, I went to find Miss Zhang and talked to her for a long time. Finally, she was willing to tell the truth and pointed out that Potter had established Dumbledore's Army."

Hearing the name of the organization, Fudge glared at Headmaster Dumbledore, as if to say, I knew you had evil intentions.

Qiu Zhang couldn't stand it anymore and screamed angrily: "You lied! You asked a fifth-year Ravenclaw student to go to the office and put truth serum in the coffee when talking to me. It is illegal to use truth serum on students!"

Suddenly all eyes fell on Umbridge.

The toad face froze. "I know Miss Zhang doesn't want to be known as a traitor, but you can't slander me like that. I'm the senior deputy minister appointed by Minister Fudge himself, and I would never do such a thing."

At this moment, she couldn't say that Qiu Zhang's words were definitely evidence, otherwise it would be suspected of being illegal.

Qiu Zhang gritted his teeth and said, "I don't have parents who work in the Ministry of Magic and need to tell lies to get a promotion!"

Ikmo's face turned pale at these words, and he staggered and hid behind his mother.

"But your boyfriend does." Umbridge resumed her false smile, "He has a father who works for the Ministry of Magic."

Qiu Zhang was so angry that he wanted to rush over, but Cedric hugged him tightly.

Mr. Diggory said in an angry voice, "My son is not that kind of person! Cho is a good boy, but you, as an official of the Ministry of Magic, have violated the law!"

"Where's the evidence?" Umbridge asked in a relaxed tone.

"Then what you just said about Qiu Zhang is not true." Gloria said calmly: "The so-called illegal organization may be your slander. Qiu denied it and you claimed it, but there is no evidence."

Things have come to a standstill here. If no evidence is produced, today's confrontation will be defined as a farce.

Umbridge smiled confidently, took out a piece of paper and held it in front of Gloria.

"This is the list we found at their gathering place after we carried out the arrest."

The parchment clearly stated Dumbledore's Army and everyone's signatures.

Umbridge continued, "According to the testimony, you and Malfoy also went to that place to teach them spells."

This was the most comfortable and happy experience she had since coming to school!

Fudge pressed on, "Miss Slytherin, how do you explain these accusations?"

Gloria immediately looked at Harry, and his pale face showed that this thing was real.

But she was very calm and held down the restless Draco.

"My name and Draco's are not on it. As for the accusation, who is the accuser? How can you prove whether it is true or slander? As the Minister, I must declare that this accusation is not rigorous enough. Has the Ministry of Magic now fallen to the point of convicting people based on a single accusation without a source?"

Fudge knew that he couldn't easily expel these two people from the school, "We will investigate thoroughly."

Turn around and point the finger at Harry and Dumbledore, after all, they are the focus.

Gloria secretly lamented that such an important thing was nailed on the wall. The last time she taught them, it was a rare opportunity, and her attention was on the interior furnishings. She started training without a few words, and left after the training. She didn't notice that there was this thing on the wall when she talked about the interview.

Draco squeezed her hand tightly, knowing that she was a little angry now.

Headmaster Dumbledore admitted to all the charges, and Fudge immediately wanted to take the man to Azkaban.

Gloria saw the guilt on Harry's face.

In order to protect his students, Dumbledore admitted all the accusations. Everyone present saw Fudge's ugly face. Of course, the headmaster would not sit still and wait for death. When Gloria winked at her, she immediately cast a defensive spell.

The dust was everywhere, and only she and Draco were still standing.

Professor McGonagall protected Harry, and Diggory did the same for Cedric and Cho Chang.

Fudge woke up after a while. Seeing that the headmaster, whom he had always wanted to put in jail, was gone, he was furious. "Dumbledore is a fugitive! Issue a wanted order immediately!"

He turned to Umbridge and said, "Now you are the headmaster of Hogwarts!"

Gloria removed her protection and turned around to take Draco away.

"No one can leave!" Fudge pointed at them, "You are all students who violated the education order!"

Gloria stopped and stared at him indifferently. "Everyone present has heard it. We are just following the headmaster's instructions. If you insist on convicting and expelling us, I will appeal to the Ministry of Magic and accuse you of intending to persecute Hogwarts students!"

She said coldly, "Fudge, think it over before deciding whether to arrest us."
