Chapter 1264

Umbridge sneered.

She looked at Harry and said: "Stealing the Firebolt? You little brat, of course you won't tell the truth.

I need some Veritaserum, Malfoy, you go find your Professor Snape and bring him here!"

Malfoy laughed gloatingly. He rushed out.

Harry was wondering when Snape would come over. Who knew that Malfoy ran into Snape as soon as he went out.

Harry thought of Snape poisoning Darren, thought of Snape threatening Darren.

He lowered his head.

He didn't want Voldemort to know that he was preparing to save Black.

"Headmistress, you looking for me?"

Snape raised an eyebrow and looked at Harry.

He seemed a bit curious as to why he would be here.

"Severus, give me some Veritaserum; I need to make Potter say who he is contacting!"

Harry's stomach cramped.

Snape would definitely give it to Umbridge. He would then tell her about the Order of the Phoenix.

But Snape, out of his expectation, refused this matter.

"Sorry, I don't have any Veritaserum left; if Headmistress you want some, it will have to be next month."

"What? Next month!"

Umbridge shouted angrily.

But Snape remained unmoved; he smiled and said: "Sorry, I felt someone entered my office; I need to go see. Headmistress, please feel free.

Perhaps you can poison Potter; if you approve, I can prepare poison for you, only asking that you let me observe!"

Snape bowed politely. Then he retreated. Umbridge was trembling with anger.

She shouted loudly: "He just looks down on me, just wait, I will sooner or later... before school started, the Ministry wanted to ruin Harry Potter's reputation.

But they didn't dare do anything, only I, only I sent out the Dementors, I..."

Harry glared at her.

"You sent the Dementors?"

"That's right, if I hadn't done that, how could I have come here?"

Umbridge said triumphantly.

Then she tapped her palm with her wand and said: "I believe the Cruciatus Curse will make you talk..."

"No, you can't do that!"

Hermione suddenly started crying.

Harry turned to look at Hermione as if he didn't recognize her. How could Hermione cry at a time like this?

Sure enough, when he turned his head back, he found that although Hermione was covering her face and crying, she didn't have a single tear.

But Umbridge took it seriously.

She walked up to Hermione with a hypocritical look.

She used a sweet, syrupy voice and said: "Good girl, it seems Rita Skeeter's articles have some merit after all; you actually really like the Potter brothers.

And the one you like is Harry Potter, right?"

"Eww!"

Pansy, who was holding Hermione, suddenly retreated in disgust. She wasn't restraining Hermione anymore.

But Hermione still didn't resist.

She sobbed and said: "Yes, yes... so I don't want you to torture him anymore."

Harry saw Ginny and Ron, and even Neville and Malfoy, all showing shocked expressions.

Only he felt that Hermione actually had some plan.

Hearing Hermione say this, Umbridge was even happier.

She screamed and said: "Then, good girl, tell me, tell me, who was Harry Potter just contacting?

If you tell me, I won't torture Harry Potter anymore!"

"I'll say it, it's Dumbledore, Harry was contacting Dumbledore!"

Umbridge's eyes widened.

She almost laughed with excitement.

"Is that so? What do you want to tell him?"

"We want to tell him that the weapon he asked us to make has succeeded, and we must have him come back quickly to get it.

That way, he can drive away everyone from the Ministry of Magic, and then you won't be able to stay at Hogwarts anymore!"

Umbridge's eyes were almost glowing.

"Then, then good child, tell me, where is that weapon, take me... right, Potter, you come along too."

Good girl, if you are deliberately lying to me, I will torture your good lover. Hermione nodded.

She led the way toward the Forbidden Forest. Harry maintained a silent attitude the whole way.

Because he didn't know where Hermione would lead Umbridge.

He first suspected it was Grawp's place, but he discovered that the path Hermione was walking was not the one Hagrid had taken them on to get to Grawp.

This made him puzzled.

However, this doubt didn't last long.

When a crossbow bolt grazed their scalps and almost stuck into Umbridge's head, he finally understood.

This was the Centaurs' territory.

These Centaurs were exceptionally xenophobic.

Because Hagrid arranged for Grawp to be in the Forbidden Forest, they didn't even allow Hagrid to enter again...

Now seeing Umbridge enter, they would naturally attack. Umbridge was startled.

Then she was extremely angry.

"You, you bunch of half-breeds, the Ministry of Magic allowed you to settle in the Forbidden Forest, and you dare to attack me, the Senior Undersecretary to the Minister for Magic!"

Her threat clearly didn't work on the Centaurs.

These Centaurs, hearing her say this, angrily pointed their arrows at her. Umbridge of course wouldn't retreat.

She cursed those Centaurs and even raised her wand to attack them. This made the Centaurs indignant.

They surrounded Umbridge. Harry and Hermione were terrified.

They were afraid that this kind of attack would fall on their heads. But a pair of hands pressed them down.

They were protected tightly. When Harry and the others stood up.

They saw Darren. Darren's face had been scratched.

He looked a bit dangerous.

However, he didn't make a move, but prepared to pull Harry and the others away. But his path forward was blocked by the Centaurs.

"This cub also used magic just now; he used magic to attack us and protected these two foals!"

A Centaur pointed at Darren and said. A group of Centaurs surrounded them. Darren didn't speak.

Hermione and Harry were both pale. And at this moment. A commotion came over.

Sound after sound, just like an earthquake.

Darren grabbed Harry and Hermione and said: "Don't worry, it's Grawp! It really is Grawp."

His sole was about Darren's height.

He walked step by step to Darren and roared: "Hag-ger! Hag-ger!"

"What is he yelling?"

Harry asked hesitantly.

"Hagrid!"

Darren said without hesitation. Then he waved his wand.

Blocking a Centaur's attack on Grawp.

"Alright, that child attacked us again, we can't let him go! The Centaurs roared in unison."

Harry and Hermione were pale with fright. They tried to explain.
