Chapter 138 Resistance
Chapter 138 Resistance
"The timing you chose to announce is really surprising. Not to mention other people, even I was very surprised." After watching enough on the balcony and blowing enough cold wind, Mu Yu went back indoors. They mastered absolute balance in their planning, and tacitly chose to return to each other's plans when they were about to cross the line.
She played with the locket and didn't look at Shen Xu much: "The time and place are different from what was expected."
"The Ministry of Magic has not changed much," Shen Xu still behaved like a patient elder, but rarely showed any signs of it. Mu Yu said with a flying look, "I seem to have taught you not long ago, Xiao Yu, that power and war are never children's tricks."
Mu Yu's fingers stopped on the letters inlaid in the locket. This place has always been Her favorite place to stay.
It seems that this announcement has made the status of the Shen family and even the clan rise steadily, so high that even people like Shen Su can't help but become arrogant.
"There is no change. Your information is out of date. Otherwise, you should know that the Ministry of Magic will discuss whether to overturn the Secrecy Act on April 13th." She lowered her head and admired the locket that she had looked at countless times. Every time she found a new angle to appreciate it again. "Moreover, Minister Fudge has issued a new education order. In order to ensure the safety of wizards, all wizards over the age of six must enter Hogwarts for preschool education. Violators will range from Azkaban to..."
She stopped She stopped looking at the locket, deliberately delayed for a while before raising her head to look at Shen Xu, and slowly uttered the last word: "Death."
"Execution today, no delay," she finished reciting it before Shen Xu was about to speak. After reading the entire bill, he knocked the jade pendant in his hand gently on the table, "I'm not urging you, nor am I accusing you. But I always thought we were good business partners. What you want - to give ordinary people power I gave you all the keys, weapons, and dementors. Gold alone doesn't seem to be enough to exchange for what I gave you."
The smile on Shen Xu's face faded.
This alone could not satisfy Mu Yu. She calmly fanned the flames and tried to control Dongfang's rhythm in her own hands. Once the situation is stabilized and the Shen family takes root again, and Shen Xu loses the arrogance he had when he first restored his family's glory, what he catches is no longer a fish.
"As a partner, I seem to have the right to review the achievements of the East and ensure that my friends make the best use of all weapons. After all, it is expensive to make them." She grabbed his words again, blatantly hinting and even provoking, "I haven't I've been to the capital, Grandpa Shen."
He stopped smiling completely, and the expression on his face seemed to go back to the last time they met in person, when Mu Yu went to see him with Norwegian weapons and spells that could give ordinary people power.
At that time, he carefully considered crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, unloading the mill and killing the donkey.
Mu Yu waited as long as he paused, never avoiding his gaze, and never concealing his ambition that could be seen at a glance.
"Of course, Xiaoyu, I am naturally happy to entertain you in the capital. I think this day will come soon." He turned back to the loving elder. "This is your hometown and home. Anyone who belongs here is always welcome." ."
He is also willing to let anyone return to his roots.
"Speaking of home," Mu Yu seemed to have received a satisfactory answer, and he relaxed completely, chatting as if he had no intention of doing so, "Are you not going to care about Qitong?"
This weirdo is really unlikable.
"Qitong made the opposite choice to me. Even with a family, this kind of situation is common. When the child is older, I can't control it anymore. Let her go." The coldness and ridicule in Mu Yu's eyes stung. After hearing him, he immediately found the point of retort, "Aren't you the same?"
Mu Yu clapped, not angry because of his rhetorical question: "I feel relieved when you say that."
With a slight flick of his fingers, the last ray of light was released. Along with Shen Xu's face disappearing, even though she knew that the disgust at this time could not be more hypocritical, she still didn't want to see this face.
The bed was cold, and as soon as the bed curtains were closed, she felt as if she had sunk into a deep sea where no light could be seen. She could not touch the sky when she went up, and she could not touch the bottom when she went down.
But this was safe and reliable for her, so she shrank back inside.
She was alone on the four-poster bed.
Sleep was no longer a necessity for her, yet she knew she always needed a moment of respite from the endless plotting. She enjoyed indulging in the darkness and cold, but it was too dark and cold there, and it was impossible to hear any sounds. She had to keep walking forward to avoid freezing to death.
She used the darkness to depict the outline of old London over and over again, reconstructing the jumping between old buildings.
This was the only moment she allowed all logic and thinking to stop.
Unfortunately, it fails every time.
The bed sunk down a little, and he was very similar to Nagini, always leaning on it silently.
She can tell the difference.
She once again quietly approached the cold, silently and cautiously trying to gain more safety and satisfaction from it. Darkness is the best cover. Because she is helpless and cannot see the light of day, no one will notice that she is trying to catch a waterweed as she keeps falling.
She was extremely careful every time, curling up and curling up as much as possible so that no one would notice that she was looking for support.
But this time it was different. She only leaned a little closer and met a solid body. Her reaction was too slow, she hesitated slightly before wrapping her hands around her waist.
Slender, cold, and well-defined, they are all familiar to her. They have held each other countless times, drawing warmth from them. These hands had held her in his arms several times, asking for her without stopping.
But never before had her whole body been trapped like this.
This feeling came suddenly and disappeared quickly. It seemed that just like her, the owner of the hands noticed something was wrong, quickly wrapped it around his neck, and found the locket to play with.
Mu Yu still had difficulty breathing. They stick close together, almost crossing the border and away from safety.
What's even more frightening is that, just like the cold attachment, she is obsessed with the fleeting surroundings just now.
"Madman." She whispered, both for confirmation and as if she was struggling to escape.
But she soon gave up speaking, and also gave up hope of breaking free. She became increasingly adept at understanding the unpredictable emotions of those around her.
He was afraid, even if it was weak, she could still touch it. They were both the same, falling into the deep sea together, and both needed to find some respite in the cold.
Mu Yu leaned in the same direction again as if resigned to his fate. They never need false comfort and sympathy, the presence of the other party is enough.
"That prophecy," he knocked the locket with a slight sound, and tightened it again, "only one of two people can survive."
She trembled slightly and leaned closer, but said nothing. .
She never talks much, and she never asks too many questions.
Riddle had no choice but to find something from this body alone. He became more and more greedy and insatiable, craving for closer distance again and again.
He wanted to tentatively wrap his arms around her, just like the unintentional touch before, but he also firmly remembered that it was a forbidden area that could not be entered.
The two of them cuddled up in a close and weird posture, seemingly dependent on each other, but in fact neither one of them was willing to put down their secretly guarded weapons, guarding the boundaries of the territory and refusing to take a step outside.
Mu Yu felt sleepy, and the outlines that had been difficult to describe before gradually became clearer. In the lines and overlapping spaces, she became truly drowsy and delirious.
It’s been a while since I dreamed about that corridor from which I couldn’t escape.
"Madman," she turned over, breaking the long deadlock, and interlocked with those hands little by little. At least this way it was safe and insurmountable, "come to the East with me again."
She was held tighter . , the palms were stung sore.
"Do you have anything to say to me?" She waited patiently, and quietly moved closer to the other side during the waiting period. On the edge of sleep, she tried to get closer to the border for the first time.
Wisps of cold breath wrapped around his neck, confirming his existence, but apart from his existence, there was only deathly silence around him.
She continued to play with the locket, but still overestimated her patience. She tapped the locket regularly, and the tapping sound was extremely harsh in the dark night, but in the quiet realm where the two of them lived together, it would only drag her deeper into sleep.
She seemed to be sitting on the roof of Wu's Orphanage again, silently depicting ideals through the curves of the city in that space that seemed far away from life and death. She had never felt safer than then.
There is light floating in the eye sockets. She couldn't remember whether there was a ray of sunshine that happened to pass through the layers of clouds at that time, and was silently wrapped in a piece of clothing, and was treasured in an unknown corner.
The gentle and inexplicable force behind her pushed her into the ideal world composed of the scattered streets of old London, continuing to instill in her the illusion of absolute safety.
She would never dream about that dark, long corridor again, and she was even less willing to walk out of the new dreamland.
She was woken up by Nagini's tail. By the time you really open your eyes, you'll know it's definitely too late. The dazzling sunlight did not even let go of this house filled with darkness, making the whole house more and more unreal, as if returning to a time when Olivia was full of fairy tales and hope.
The viper's tail was coiled leisurely on the head of the bed, sweeping across her face in small curls in the sunlight. The snake's head leaned against her body, not knowing whether it was absorbing more warmth or treating her as a nightmare. Made new food.
Naturally, there was no one around anymore.
"Get down." Mu Yu pulled its tail away. He had never been so cruel to it before, and he didn't know what he was venting.
She actually saw innocence in those snake eyes for a moment.
She directly picked up the snake body from the middle, threw Nagini on the ground, and carefully and slowly arranged her clothes, as if she wanted to sort out the spreading and unwanted thoughts together.
Bright green flames shot up from the fireplace, and just when she was about to get into it and return to the battlefield of power, Nagini tried to rub it on her clothes.
She held the snake's tail and lifted it up, trying desperately to calm down the annoyance that arose out of nowhere: "I know you shouldn't be here, no matter who put you here, you should go where you should be," she said dangerously Squinting her eyes, she didn't feel guilty about threatening a snake. "At Hogwarts, you can only appear on the Slytherin table in the form of snake soup."
When the green flames rose to the highest level, she held the snake. He threw it on the ground again and walked straight into the fire.
As soon as the temperatureless flames surrounded her, she had already suppressed her unwanted fantasies.
The sun is shining brightly today, but Hogwarts is alone among them.
In the past, mornings in the castle were filled with all kinds of sounds. This ancient fortress contained colorful and rich ideals at night, and woke up in the morning light bathed in all kinds of chirping sounds generated by ideals.
Today is different.
When Mu Yu first arrived at the main entrance, he noticed a difference. The main door, which was never locked many times, was firmly locked with silver locks made by goblins. There were guards in front of the door wearing Ministry of Magic uniforms.
She recognized the medals they wore on their chests. In order to search for members of the Order of the Phoenix, Fudge, under the conscious or unconscious guidance of Albert Greengrass, established an inspection team that was independent of the Aurors. She once complacently thought that it belonged to her alone. Team.
They bowed to her when they saw her, and it was clear that Fudge's desire to have sole control was frustrated from the start.
"Hogwarts is changing very fast." Mu Yu turned the jade pendant and looked at the castle soaked in the sun intently, without looking at the people in front of her who were either afraid or jealous of her.
"Dumbledore is missing. The school board removed him from the position of principal on the grounds of being absent from duty and having close contacts with dark wizards, and Umbridge was appointed temporary principal. From today on, the Ministry of Magic's new policy will be implemented in the Hall Gwarts has taken effect, and the little wizards over the age of six have just entered school today, and the new principal is holding a brand new opening ceremony."
One of them tried his best to explain the school's rapid transformation in the most peaceful tone, but unfortunately his trembling tone still betrayed him. nervous.
Mu Yu continued to turn the jade pendant. She knew that Dumbledore would always think of the cave through clues and step into the sea area that was most likely to be filled with traps. However, she did not expect that Dumbledore would choose to go at this time and resolutely expose Hogwarts to the Ministry of Magic. Under high pressure.
What tricks are they playing?
The speed of turning the jade pendant was a little faster, and the closed door was finally completely opened to her at this moment. She stepped in without hesitation.
Like other places in the world, this place is inevitably being transformed into their shared pasture. Under the current situation, all thoughts are just a desperate struggle.
She knew better than anyone else that Dumbledore would never come back after going to that cave. Even she herself would not believe that just a stone full of illusions would be enough before she finished reading Rita Skeeter's lengthy biography. Enough to destroy the greatest wizard of two centuries.
No one in this school can stop her now, and no one dares to blame her for such a ridiculous reason as being late.
The so-called new opening ceremony in the auditorium had ended, and when she walked in, she happened to hear Umbridge's sharp question.
"Advancing the last event of the competition"
The heavy door of the auditorium was pushed open, and when she actually stepped in, all the sounds disappeared in an instant, only a bunch of entangled sights lingered. Umbridge, who was sitting leisurely on the principal's chair enjoying her new power, stood up as if reflexively.
The principals of various magic schools and the teachers who had taught her did not react at all, as if what came in was just an insignificant wisp of fine sand.
The headmaster of Ilvermorny responded to Umbridge in a soft voice: "You should be aware of the changes that have taken place in our respective countries today. Although the Goblet of Fire has made a contract that must be participated in, it does not hurt to make some small changes. "
No one spoke. Mu Yu walked directly to Slytherin's long table, and a large space was immediately vacated around her. Some people in other houses may still be ignorant, but almost all Slytherin students now understand some of her choices.
The longing on this long table was too piercing and burning.
Astoria was practically pressed against Daphne.
Everyone was waiting, obviously not for Umbridge.
Mu Yu tapped the table twice with his jade pendant.
They want to resist. This did not make her angry, but instead gave rise to excitement buried deep in her heart. A battlefield without fighting games is still too boring for her.
Anyway, she'll be here watching them struggle in the net.
No matter how stupid Umbridge was, she still received this signal. She was extremely loud and tried to maintain the arrogance of the new principal: "Of course."
Principal Ilvermorny seemed not to notice the strange atmosphere just now, and revealed a With a smile that could be called a bright one, there was no worry about the current situation in his country or the college on his face: "Just agree."
This lengthy and depressing rally finally came to an end with the finalization of the final agenda. I don't know what new school rules Umbridge announced, and there was no more unnecessary noise in the usually sloppy auditorium. According to the order of the college, students were led to the classrooms they should go to, like sheep.
Hogwarts hasn't felt like Hogwarts since Dumbledore was officially deposed by the school board.
Mu Yu kept turning the jade pendant in her hand, admiring the crowds of people. The orderly queues dispersed in different directions after a while, and there was no more scenery for her to enjoy in the empty auditorium. She put away the jade pendant and walked towards the eighth floor.
She doesn't need to go to class anymore.
"Yu."
Unexpectedly, he was stopped by someone rushing towards him as soon as he reached the stairs. Looking at Theodore Nott's appearance, Mu Yu could tell at a glance that he came here in a hurry. He just stopped in front of the stairs without any reason, blocking her view of the stairs. Maybe he didn't even think of a complete reason. good.
This was a rare occasion for Nott to take the initiative to talk to her.
Mu Yu became interested in studying him and no longer looked at the stairs blocked by Nott. Instead, she focused all her attention on him.
He was even more haggard than before, and the loose robe covering his body made him move more and more like a flying ghost.
"Theodore," she met his sunken eyes, sucking in the sadness and pain happily. She never cared about where the prey's sadness came from, and was immersed in the observation of this rise. Giving him patience without hesitation, "You should go to class."
Nott did not avoid her unabashed look, but bowed under such a look, which was still enough for her to see clearly all the persistence in his eyes: "I I want to help you."
What Mu Yu could see from those eyes was endless persistence. The more she looked like this, the more interested she became, and for the first time she found a temperament similar to Snape's in Nott.
Knott was more than just a gambler who had lost all his chips and had to face reality.
She said nothing, and Theodore Nott maintained the same posture.
"Oh" she finally stopped looking at him, and it took a long time to utter a few words, "Let's talk about it."
"The principals moved the last game ahead of time just to get rid of their shackles and send Potter and the others out at the same time," Xi said O'Donotte spoke very slowly, as if every word was made up on a whim, "The last project will be the maze. This is no secret. It is also best to send the Potters away silently." We can't let them go by human means. I have developed a special potion that is colorless and odorless and can blend into the air. It will only make Potter lose his way and walk to us in person."
She still just looked at him. , with no trace of joy, anger or emotion, Nott's voice finally blended in with emotion: "Yu," Nott had never called her name so fervently or even piously even when he invited her to the dance, "I'm willing to follow her." It's you, you know better than anyone who my loyalty is to." He always kept a safe distance, as if he would not go beyond that as long as she didn't say anything
: "I voluntarily became a madman."
The words sounded like a confession to her, but also like a warning to himself.
Mu Yu stopped observing and studying Nott. When she is no longer immersed in the joy of hunting, her whole person will become particularly gentle and approachable, as if she has never changed in the past few years: "Of course I know, Theodore, and I understand your difficulties better," she softened In his tone, his burning eyes turned into clear ripples on the lake again, "You won't let me down."
He avoided his gaze and no longer looked at the ripples in his black pupils. Lan: "Umbridge's heart is starting to grow. She seems to really regard herself as the unequivocal principal and the only authority of Hogwarts. It's time to beat her up."
Mu Yu's tenderness subsided very quickly, but it was not short-lived. In just a few breaths, the ripples in his eyes were once again eroded by darkness and turned into a bottomless abyss.
Perhaps the ripples themselves are disguises.
"Are you teaching me? Theodore," she leaned closer to Nott, her tone still gentle, "Maybe you are hiding a great secret from me while dedicating your loyalty." The
warm breath did not bring warmth, but rather like A venomous snake that was waiting for an opportunity in an instant saw the right opportunity and wrapped tightly around his neck.
Not changing his expression, he finally moved away and stood beside her in an almost submissive manner: "It's my fault."
Mu Yu suddenly grabbed his left hand and repeated the Mosuo mark. In this place, Nott had been standing like a sculpture, letting her play with it.
Until the poisonous snake wrapped around his neck finally temporarily loosened its grip.
"I'm going to find Umbridge." Mu Yu let go of his hand and turned back into the girl who always seemed to have a good temper.
Nott waited until she walked away in the other direction and disappeared from sight before straightening his back.
Umbridge positioned her office high enough to overlook the courtyard in front of the Great Hall.
The place with the best view in Hogwarts is of course the principal's office, but the stone statue at the door of the principal's office refused her entry no matter what. This is certainly a defiance of power.
But that's okay. Holding a cup of tea that was enough to make people sick, Umbridge watched in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the office that was opened for her alone as one student after another walked fearfully through the courtyard, forced to form an orderly queue.
This is the starting point of her power.
"You're very laid-back." The sudden voice frightened her so much that she dropped the tea cup to the ground.
Mu Yu appeared next to her like a ghost, cleaning up the stains accidentally splashed on her clothes in disgust, and unceremoniously took the best position to enjoy the new scene in the castle.
At the front of the queue were children with panic-looking faces, either voluntarily brought here by their parents or forced to be separated from their families and brought here. No matter how they came in, everyone could vaguely sense that the school they once longed for had long since changed.
Umbridge didn't even dare to complain: "No, no. Of course, I have been committed to making the will of the Ministry of Magic permeate the entire school."
This woman is not smart in any way, but she is extremely sensitive to changes in authority and power. It doesn't take long for her to figure out who the real talker is, and she quickly demonstrates her loyalty to power.
Because he knew her nature, Mu Yu didn't care about her flattery: "April 13 is coming soon. I just hope that the school will still be a clean school by then." She wiped the dust on the glass, " I heard some rumors a few days ago that Potter and his companions seemed to be planning something big. What makes me even more sad is that several Slytherin students seemed to have chosen to side with Potter.
" Umbridge was particularly nervous when this was mentioned, and was frantically trying to defend herself: "Absolutely impossible, Miss Mu. You have seen the new school rules and the patrol team. Mr. Nott has always taken the lead and is willing to help. Potter got The lesson is profound enough..."
Mu Yu was still observing the crowd, and every move of every student under his feet seemed to have been trained, and they did not dare to take a step too far. Looking at her, she smiled slightly.
"Those who can no longer be tamed like Potter should receive the most severe punishment, so as to warn those lambs who are still confused about what will happen if they disobey the gods, but..." A little girl seemed too nervous, When she crossed the threshold, she accidentally tripped and fell. At that moment, her whole body was shaking, and the people around her seemed to be unaware and walked around her to continue moving forward. As soon as Mu Yu raised his hand, a gust of breeze lifted the little girl up.
"We have to let them feel a little warmth and become more attached to the beauty of the pasture. I have told you this many times."
"Naturally, naturally..."
Umbridge nodded and bowed in agreement. Before she could utter any more complimentary words, Mu Yu suddenly changed the topic: "Let more people from the patrol team go to the eighth floor." She held her chin, not knowing what she was thinking about. "It shouldn't be difficult to make a blank wall reveal hidden secrets."
Umbridge's expression suddenly became weird and twisted: "Order...a wall."
Mu Yu ignored her words and sighed to himself: "Theodore has enough to worry about. He doesn't need to be responsible for this, and he doesn't need to know that Malfoy can take care of it." She turned to look at Umbridge, absorbing all her flinch. With a vague reluctance, she said, "Similar order, said in another way, I want to handle this secret personally."
She repaired the tea cup that had just been dropped, and automatically refilled the tea and placed it on Umbridge's table. The latter obviously never wants to drink this tea again in his life.
Although she smiled at Umbridge, there was not much warmth in her eyes: "Do you understand?"
"I thought you already knew what was predicted thirteen years ago," Barty Crouch Jr.'s brand-new face was rarely seen at a glance. The ground is reflected behind the mirror. I don't know if it's a problem with his face or because he's been following Ivan for a long time. Now it's getting harder and harder to track his emotions. He blinked, and for a moment he felt the shadow of Crouch before, "It turns out that someone has been unwilling to tell."
He seemed to be the same person who stopped her alone on Christmas Eve.
"I really need to know that this is not only related to the chess game," Mu Yu held the tea cup in his other hand and looked directly into his eyes. It was rare that he lost the vague temptation. Instead, it was filled with unknown true and false. Pleading, "Buddy, this is important to us."
They all know who this is about us.
Crouch was hesitating. From Mu Yu's perspective, he could see him stroking the double-sided mirror over and over again, as if he was discerning her plea.
In the area that could not be illuminated by the double-sided mirror, Mu Yu turned the cup again and again and squeezed it tightly unconsciously.
He didn't hesitate long.
"Thirteen years ago, Snape heard an incomplete prophecy that a boy born in July would defeat him. He chose Potter. Snape claimed that he coveted the beauty of the Muggle woman and begged him to keep her. One life, and you know what will happen next. Snape admitted that he could still find a more docile and pure-blooded woman."
He spoke extremely briefly and quickly, but it was not difficult to notice that he was shaking with every word. He should clearly understand that he was forced to cross a territory that he should not peek into, and entered a restricted area within a restricted area.
This freak made him lose his sense again and again.
"Don't let him know," Barty Crouch Jr. finally resigned and closed his eyes, "Don't let him know."
Mu Yu's hand holding the double-sided mirror slipped, and the mirror almost shattered in her hand.
She knocked down the tea cup on the other side with a bang.
"He can't stay. Kill him immediately," Crouch had never heard her give an order so coldly, and he knew better than anyone the fragile emotions hidden beneath the coldness. He did not choose to expose and ridicule her, but listened extremely seriously, "Let Viola or the current president of the Magic Congress realize Snape's threat and let them take action."
She immediately denied herself: "No, no It will definitely work, it's too risky..."
"If you trust me, leave Snape's life and death to me. Death is not necessarily omnipotent. I have long wanted to use Viola to uncover all the secrets behind MACUSA. Hands, Snape is only one of them," he suddenly changed, put away all the craziness and provocation when he was Barty Crouch Jr., and for a while actually became a politician like Ivan. He didn't ask too much about the reason why Snape had to be killed, "You have to trust me, Yu."
He rarely called her name softly, as if he was acting like another figure through her shadow. Promise: "You have to believe me."
There was a knock on the door, and the person who knocked on the door should be happy to hear this sound.
Mu Yu quickly regained his senses. She placed the tea cup on the table upright and stared intently at her eyes in the mirror. All the colors and vividness were once again hidden under the ripples in the black pupils: "I believe you."
She turned the double-sided mirror back. On the table.
Umbridge led a group of people and knocked on the door.
"Potter and his group are indeed planning something big. Unfortunately, someone should have tipped off the information, but only two of them were caught, allowing Potter and his group of masterminds to escape early." Umbridge's little eyes had never shined with such intense light. The voice was also shriller and higher than ever before, "Thanks to Mr. Malfoy. Bring them up."
Several Slytherin students led by Draco Malfoy pushed the two in.
Mu Yu waved his hand, and the door closed behind him. Several candles in the room were extinguished, and the deep residual light quietly swallowed everyone's shadows.
Malfoy became something different. The flickering candlelight seemed to peel off something new from his arrogance - he was eager, eager to use this exciting game of capture to climb the stairs with Theodore Nott, even if he was facing the darkness at the end of the stairs. Nothing.
"Someone tipped off and destroyed everything in that room." He took a rare step forward in front of Mu Yu. What he saw in his eyes was no longer a freak that frightened him, but his own desire. "Give me some When the time comes, I will catch that person."
Mu Yu rubbed the wand in her hand. In fact, she had never left school, and all her former classmates had changed.
She didn't even look at Malfoy, instead focusing on the two captured people. A Gryffindor and a Hufflepuff. They had only met occasionally in the Great Hall before, and she didn't even remember their names.
But it's not important. She looked at the pupils of the two people, and unexpectedly discovered that they had a subtle and indescribable similarity with Theodore Nott.
She is always willing and good at digging out secrets from different eye colors, and gently tearing apart other people's disguises. She has already mastered this technique, and even her ridiculous father can't escape from such digging.
Therefore, she never expected that she would hit a wall with these two extremely ordinary students.
Not long after they met her eyes, her eyes, which were originally dead and without much color, suddenly felt like the turbulence of the sea. The undulating water waves instantly entangled her spiritual power, which she had penetrated into, and big waves followed closely, trying to sweep them away. Subverted like a small boat.
Every drop of water that comes with the waves is like a sharp needle piercing deeply into my mind.
She rubbed her temples vigorously, but had to stop digging for secrets in her eyes.
The two people who were caught showed no signs of panic or confusion from the moment they entered, and they were not surprised when they discovered that the person they were finally brought to was actually her. It was only then that the person who was caught said the first words after entering: "We were just reviewing our lessons in that room. After all, our new headmaster tried everything but was unwilling to care whether we could graduate from Hogwart." What have you learned?" He said with a hint of irony, "Legilimency, Cruciatus Curse, even Veritaserum, the final effect will be the same. You can destroy us as much as you want, but you can't destroy our will."
"Shut up!" These words really touched Umbridge's pain. However, before she could take further revenge, the sudden green flames scared her back.
Mu Yu stood up slowly while holding on to the table. He turned the smooth jade pendant towards the rising green flames in front of him. He didn't look like he was hurt at all: "Send them directly to the Ministry of Magic and hand them over." To Avery."
She didn't see the anger after being hurt, and she was as casual as if she was ordering to send a package.
Umbridge didn't care about revenge and grinned when she heard the name Avery, revealing her ugly teeth. She immediately grabbed the two men by their collars and pulled them into the flames without any explanation.
Malfoy's wand rolled to the ground with a crash. In an instant, all his desires seemed to disappear completely, and he shrank under layers of fear.
He should have vaguely heard of what Avery stands for today.
Mu Yu wouldn't care about his feelings.
"Pick up your wand, Mr. Malfoy. The last thing a qualified wizard should throw away is his wand." She looked at the green flames that were still burning. "Send Theodore Nott over."
She stopped suddenly . Playing with the jade pendant, he carefully hung it back on his waist. He turned and looked directly at the door that had opened at some point: "No need for it now."
Theodore Nott stood at the door, and the wind passing through the hall filled the emptiness. The robe made him look more and more like a skeleton.
Against the oncoming jealousy, admiration, desire, and fear, he walked towards her step by step, without hesitation: "Get out."
His fingers slid over the mark on his left hand, which was both a hint and a threat.
No matter how unwilling or jealous, in front of most Slytherins, Nott is still a symbol and example who is far ahead of them. Especially when a freak like Mu Yu is still present, their only choice is Listen to Nott.
On the other hand, Malfoy, who had taken the lead before, was now running faster than anyone else, and could even be said to be rolling and crawling.
The whole world seemed to be left with them again.
"I heard that Malfoy caught two people suspected of secretly meeting with Potter," he stood a few steps away from her, so that the jumping flames could just illuminate the unconcealed worry and piety in his eyes, " Now other teachers and even the principals of other schools are probably helping Potter and the others to cover up, so I brought a powerful truth serum, hoping to help you."
He looked around and took a deep breath: "They are here. " What?"
"This method is a bit old-fashioned." Mu Yu fiddled with the ring on his hand and scanned Nott carefully from beginning to end.
It's like he has never changed.
Mu Yu suddenly burst into a smile that was brighter than the flames: "Avery will help them remember the truth," she stretched out her hand towards him, her gentle tone seemed to be tempered with honey, "Theodore, and I Go to the Ministry of Magic."
She invited him for the first time, but he wanted to go back to the night when the invitation to the ball was rejected more than ever.
The mark on his left arm was twisting and eating away at his flesh.
He finally put his hand on it, and the boundless coldness almost froze his blood.
He lowered his eyelids, the fire never warmed her.
They followed the Floo fans directly to the torture chamber of the Department of Legal Enforcement of the Ministry of Magic. This torture chamber, which had been abandoned for at least ten years, is now functioning again. The long corridors were filled with wandering Dementors. They obviously enjoyed this environment extremely much and reproduced crazily in it, making the corridors already deep underground as cold as if they were filled with the entire Styx.
As soon as he stepped on the ground, a king cobra emerged from the tip of Mu Yu's staff and jumped into the air. The bright and warm radiance of the patron saint firmly protected the two of them.
Nott paused for a while to admire the powerful and bright patron saint wandering in the sky, and then followed her step by step.
Mu Yu found that Nott was always half a step behind her very appropriately.
She didn't pay attention to this discovery. There weren't many things worth paying attention to now. She walked leisurely in the dark corridor, as if patrolling her own territory.
Finally she opened the small door at the end of the corridor.
The space inside the door is surprisingly open and clean. If it weren't for the smell of blood in the air, anyone would think it was just another ordinary office in the Ministry of Magic. Avery was so engrossed in his work that he didn't notice anyone coming in.
The two bodies lying in front of him both had skulls fully open, and the brains inside were still squirming. If it weren't for the rising and falling chests of the bodies, which showed that the people were still alive, the scene in front of him was really not much different from the dissection of a corpse.
This is the scariest thing.
Mu Yu did not disturb him, but stood aside silently, observing every nerve trembling pattern with great interest.
Nott behind him became even more like a ghost.
Avery looked up and saw that this weirdo had been looking at him for who knows how long. He was so frightened that he almost stopped holding his wand: "Miss Mu," he cautiously bowed slightly, glanced at Nott behind him, and said intelligently Choosing to ignore it, "They drank a special potion in advance. Once stimulated, this potion ensures that outsiders will no longer be able to find hidden memories in their heads."
The breathing behind them seemed to have stopped for a second, and then quickly Back to normal.
Mu Yu was not surprised by this result. She continued to explain in her hand, as calmly as if she was just explaining a herb to Nott: "Someone has become interested in studying the brain, and Avery happened to be interested in organizing the brain." Very insightful. Avery," Avery shivered hard again when he was suddenly mentioned. She ignored his fear, "Theodore should be free to cooperate with you today and get rid of today's research samples. Send it to where it needs to go without damage."
She had no inclination to ask for advice.
"Let them refine the magic potion in their brains as soon as possible. Such a great invention is simply too much to use in a gathering of students," she ordered Avery politely and naturally, "What do you think, Theodore?"
Nott said nothing and only used actions to prove his point. He walked towards Avery mechanically, hiding his trembling with his wide sleeves, as if he was momentarily stunned by the scene in front of him.
Mu Yu pretended not to notice his little move, wearing a spring-like smile as always, which was incompatible with the Shura scene in front of her: "I want to know what is going on before the last game," she stared at Theodore, who was covered by long sleeves With his left hand, his smile became sweeter and full of playfulness, "I said, this road is a point of no return, and there will be no easy way out."
