[HP] Born to be a pair

Chapter 32

The OWL exam takes two weeks. In addition to the required courses, Renee also needs to take two elective exams: arithmetic, divination and protection of magical animals.

Faced with these problems, she has long been familiar with the road.Not only relying on memories and many days of review to fill up the test papers,

Professor Marchban, who was also at the Wizarding Examinations Authority, cast the impeccable Boggart Repelling Charm, which got her a satisfied smile.

Yet on Friday of that first week, an allegation that caught everyone by surprise was published directly on the front page of the first issue of the Daily Prophet.

"The hidden side of Dumbledore—was he colluding with the goblin subversive group as the eyewitnesses said?"

"An official of the Ministry of Magic, who did not want to be named, claimed that on Wednesday night, he met Dumbledore himself in private contact with the supporters of the goblin subversive group, and reached an ulterior and evil negotiation...

...Minister of Magic Cornelius Fudge expressed regret in an interview: "Although I would like to believe the pure position of this great wizard, we have to investigate this matter, so we have to ask Dumbledore to live in London temporarily. Without the permission of the Ministry of Magic, you can't leave at will.

And because of the particularity of his position—the Headmaster of Hogwarts, we will authorize Dolores Umri, Deputy Minister of Magic and Senior Hogwarts Inquisitor, when he is inconvenient to return to school to work Odd acts as acting headmaster until Dumbledore returns to school to report on his duties. "

Coincidentally, on the second day after Dumbledore was investigated, an illegal goblin rally and riot took place in central London, and then Dumbledore disappeared from his residence in London, and no one has been able to track him down to this day ..."

Nobody wanted to believe it, but with this report came another Ministry order, pinned firmly to a bulletin board - to prevent students from picking it up.

"Dolores Jane Umbridge (Senior Inquisitor) hereby succeeds Albus Dumbledore as Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry."

The name of Cornelius Fudge was signed below, but the flamboyant signature angered many students.

"No one will believe such nonsense reports!" Anthony Goldstein yelled angrily. "Are they all crazy? They are suggesting that Dumbledore and goblins are involved!"

"Oh, I don't know," drawled Draco Malfoy, "he's kind of crazy, isn't he?"

The classmates next to him glared at him angrily, and soon he was glared back by other members of the investigation team beside him. Among them, Panxi Parkinson yelled in a piercing voice: "Aren't you afraid of being deducted points?"

It has to be said that this incident had a great impact on Renee, and she was horrified to find that all this was out of the memory she knew.

Renee thought that by avoiding the discovery of Dumbledore's Army, she could prevent Dumbledore from being forced to leave and Umbridge taking power alone.

But what she didn't expect was that it was this questioning that came back empty-handed that made Cornelius Fudge even more suspicious of Dumbledore.

In his heart, Umbridge's failure to succeed this time represented Dumbledore's scheming.Because of this, he couldn't wait to pull Dumbledore down to ensure that his ministerial position would be stable from now on.

Renee's breathing was a little short of breath, what if the principal had an accident because of her actions?Or make Umbridge more powerful - but maybe either way, You-Know-Who will return with a high profile before long.

When he comes back, it's the day Fudge and Umbridge are gone... just...

Renee was thinking vaguely, and took out her notebook from her schoolbag, looking for the important events that would be written down immediately after each resurrection——the night the mysterious man appeared, Harry and the others were also there... And Neville.

She couldn't help feeling a little anxious, looking at the history of magic test paper in front of her, it seemed that the words on it had turned into crooked hieroglyphs, which she vaguely recognized but didn't understand.

Last night, the newly promoted headmaster Umbridge led a few Aurors to drive away Rubeus Hagrid, professor of protection of magical animals and gamekeeper.

During the conflict, Professor McGonagall who came to stop him was involved. The poor head of Gryffindor was hit by four stun spells, and he was still being treated at St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries.

Renee had no memory of the previous few times this had happened, and it was not recorded in the notebook.

If Professor Hagrid was driven away and Professor McGonagall was stunned because of her unauthorized changes, then she really deserves to die!

"There are still 5 minutes left." The proctor reminded her kindly.

Renee has been staring at the test paper for more than ten minutes in a cold sweat. She filled in most of the questions according to the memories she reviewed, and now there are only a few subjective questions to complete.

But now she racked her brains and couldn't figure it out... Her mind was full of Professor Hagrid's roar in the middle of the night and the picture of Professor McGonagall being carried away pale, if something changed from this point...

After the last exam, Lisa has already clamored to celebrate all night, and she has arranged everything - liters of butterbeer, a set of [-]% new gobstones, the purchase of Weasley joke products with mysterious methods, Just waiting for all Ravenclaw fifth year students to return to the common room!

"I... will come later." Renee forced a smile, she couldn't wait to confirm Neville's safety and situation.

"Please!" Padma said disappointedly, "You don't want to be absent every time, okay? This is our celebration. Don't worry about it after the exam, okay?"

"I know," Renee frowned, and in order to get away as soon as possible, she could only pretend to be shy and said, "I just want to meet Neville first, but I will be back, trust me."

Several people cast ambiguous and teasing glances at Renee, but she turned a blind eye and left in a hurry.

Renee didn't know where Neville was at first. She planned to go to the Gryffindor Tower to look for him first, but when she passed the corridor on the fourth floor, she heard an unusual sound.

"Let go of her!" She heard Neville's roar, followed by "There are many obstacles" and "Quickly imprisoned".

Renee couldn't help feeling cold, and quickly pulled out her wand from the robe, and quickly stepped forward to hide in the nearest alcove. A medieval statue of a warlock with swollen eyes blocked her figure, but did not block her sight.

Several familiar members of the investigation team attacked Neville, and at the same time used disarming spells on Ginny, Luna, and Neville. Three wands of different shapes fell to the ground one after another, and were killed by the sloth-like Casio S. Warrington was in his hands.

"Come on, gag them," he said excitedly. "Professor Umbridge is still waiting for us."

The wand aimed at his back couldn't help but pause, Renee rolled her eyes, and silently cast a Disillusionment spell on herself.

After these people pushed Neville and the others into Umbridge's office, she followed lightly behind her and put her ear to the crack of the door.

"...I gave you a chance to tell me, but you refused, I have no choice..." Umbridge's shrill voice faintly reached her ears, "...the only option is to force your mouth open .Draco - get Professor Snape."

The door was opened in an instant, and Draco Malfoy almost walked past Renee's cheek, she was too scared to breathe.

Fortunately, the door was closed quickly, and no one noticed anything was wrong. Malfoy even hummed a little tune in a good mood, and ran down the stairs quickly.

Before the door closed, Renee pressed the toe of her shoe into a small gap, and she quickly scanned the number of people and status in the room——

Umbridge was keeping his mouth tightly shut, looking carefully at the restrained Harry; Crabbe's huge body blocked the door, but Renee noticed that Neville's hands were struggling constantly, looking very uncomfortable.

She has to get Neville out of trouble without Umbridge noticing— Renee thought briefly, then slipped her wand through the crack of the door and pointed it at Crabbe's back, muttering silently: "Strength." Relax!"

"Uh!" Crabbe's strong arms dropped limply, and he uttered a single syllable in confusion, but it sounded like he had hiccupped.

Neville was finally free, he coughed desperately, and it was only then that Renee noticed that his face had turned pale.

Umbridge glanced at the two of them disinterestedly, and although Crabbe lost all strength in his hands, Goyle next to him saw the right moment and pushed up.

He clasped Neville's hands behind his back, refusing to give him any room to breathe.

Renee was a little annoyed, but when she raised her wand again, there was the sound of hurried footsteps from the other side of the corridor, so she gritted her teeth and went back to the alcove again, curled up and hid under the statue.

——It was the triumphant Malfoy and the calm-faced Snape. They walked into the office one after the other, and Malfoy even held the door for Snape.

"A bunch of bastards!" Renee blushed anxiously, and couldn't help insulting these guys fiercely in her heart.But there were two adult wizards, Umbridge and Snape, and several tall and strong members of the investigation team, so she couldn't act rashly.

She was not too far from the office, but she couldn't be close enough to hear what they said clearly, which made her anxious.

Fortunately, Snape didn't stay there for a long time, so he quickly withdrew and walked upstairs with a straight face.Renee stayed where she was cautiously, fearing that he would come back again.

But she waited for a long time and didn't hear anything. The illusion spell had already failed, and she never saw him come back.

Before Renee could take a step, there was another loud bang from the office door.

Harry with a wooden face and Hermione wiping tears came out of it, followed by Umbridge, who was panting behind her - she raised her wand and pointed it at the backs of the two students, she was more than a Death Eater. Like Death Eaters.

They also left the corridor in a hurry, this time down the stairs.And now that the two adult wizards had left, there was no point in Renee hiding any longer.

There was anger in her chest, and Renee couldn't help but want to scream at the thought of the boy she cherished so much in the office, whose life was tightly tied to her, being held by them.

And she did—the moment she kicked open the office door, Renee's Stunning Spell knocked Goyle into the air, taking Crabbe with him.

While everyone was in a daze, Neville quickly yelled and rushed forward to knock Warrington away, snatched all the wands from his hands and threw them back to his companions.

A fantastic little battle ensued in Umbridge's cloyingly sweet office.

Neville waved his wand like a knight raising his sword, and he shouted: "There are many obstacles!" Millicent Burst fell to the ground like a giant felled tree.

Ron took back his wand, and cast the Stunning and Disarming Charms at the same time as Luna. The people around them didn't even have time to draw out their wands, and they all piled up and fell down.

The best performance has to go to Ginny, I don't know what spell she is chanting, but from the wand she is waving, many large black bats with flapping wings are conjured up, scrambling to pounce on Malfoy's light-colored bats. s face.

He yelled in horror, kept slapping the monsters with his hands, his legs fell to the ground and tried to break through the door, but Renee knocked him down with a stun spell.

"Renee! Why are you here?" Neville asked in surprise, his eyes sparkled, as if seeing a pot of the most precious magical plant.

"Who cares? Thankfully she's here!" Ron wiped the blood from his lips, "Go, I saw Harry and Hermione take Umbridge to the Forbidden Forest!"

Ron and Ginny rushed out of the office before they could thank Renee, and Luna followed them unhurriedly. When passing by Renee, she said in a soft voice, "Thank you, Renee." Then he trot up and left.

Neville also wanted to follow, but Renee grabbed his cuff and said in an almost pleading tone, "You—do you want to go too?"

"Of course!" Neville was a little puzzled, "Harry and Hermione are my friends, they are in danger, how can I not help them?"

"They're... in no danger," Renee said palely, "so you don't go, okay?"

Neville frowned, and looked at her with strange eyes, as if standing in front of him was not his girlfriend who had been with him day and night, but someone else.

"I'm sorry, I don't think I can do it." He may not have noticed it, but the tone of this sentence was very cold.

Neville pulled out his sleeves, and said to her as if he was enduring something: "You go back first, I must help them - don't tell this matter, okay?"

After speaking, he left immediately, trotting all the way behind Luna, intending to go to Harry and Hermione with them.

Only Renee was left staring at his back, holding her robe tightly with both hands, with such force that it almost broke the fabric.
