Bab 283: Chapter 283 False Memory
In the hallway, Felix asked, "That woman was here yesterday, too?"
"Came twice," Professor McGonagall said meaningfully, "so she moved out of the Minister of Magic for this occasion."
In the entrance to the Deputy Headmistress's office, Tonks looked at her face in a pair of polished, shiny armour, Then her face swelled into a puffy blob as she held her breath.
Her hair, which originally was bubblegum pink, immediately turned dark brown.
"Tonks--"
Tonks turned her head in the direction of the voice, as her eyes morphed into a pair of glowing bulbs, "Professor Mac, McGonagall!" She got taken aback and hurriedly patted her head to get everything back to normal, "I, uh ... got a little bored and came out for some fresh air."
"I can see that Tonks, she's still here?" McGonagall asked.
"All the time, that's why I couldn't catch my breath." Tonks said as she saw Felix next to Professor McGonagall, "Hello, Hap."
"Hello, Tonks." Felix nodded at her, "Coming in with us?"
"Oh, no," Tonks declined, and she added, "You can put a Bubble-Head Charm on yourself in advance - well, I'm just kidding."
Felix pushed the door open and suddenly understood what Tonks meant; the room smelled of luscious perfume and pink bubbles after pink bubbles were floating in the air.
One of the pink bubbles suddenly exploded, as a pink mist filled the air along with the thick fragrance, causing Felix to cringe.
"Oh my God, you've taken over my office-" McGonagall gaped as Umbridge stood up, grinning broadly, "Minerva, I've waited too long, so I found something to do by myself. I got the latest Peachy Witchy perfume in my hands - not released yet, from what Cory told me." She giggled.
McGonagall scowled and added, "If you don't put those bubbles away, I'll do it for you." She walked quickly to the window and took a big breath of fresh outside air.
Umbridge pulled a delicate vial from her pocket, tapped her wand on its mouth, and a bubble flew off, "I recommend you to give it a try, of course, wait until three months ..."
Professor McGonagall rolled her eyes covertly and decided to go out for a while, so she left with the young ministry member named Cory.
The sweet smell in the air lingered, and Felix waved his wand, and a whirlwind appeared out of thin air, sweeping the pink air away.
"Ms. Umbridge?" He sat across the table, "I heard you wanted to see me."
"Of course, my dear." Umbridge said, her hands folded politely, "Where do we begin? Minister Fudge has mentioned you several times, young talent, the future of the wizarding world."
"Say my thanks to him for me, ma'am. You've arrived at a bad time, there are hundreds of students waiting for me."
Umbridge said in a soft tone, "You are referring to that minor school competition? Oh yes, Minerva mentioned it to me, an excuse for stalling time. Oh, Mr. Hap, let me finish, I brought an order from Minister Fudge, clearer than the previous one, not an empty word ... Everything I said represents what Minister Fudge himself meant."
Felix curled the corners of his mouth, "So what, you're going to represent Fudge and giving me an order?"
"It's Minister Fudge," Umbridge corrected, "I think you lack the reverence for authority, which everyone at Hogwarts has. Oh, far from it, I have inquired about an interesting fact, Mr. Hap is also a children's author, one of the books ..."
She pulled a book out of her pocket, turned a page with her stubby fingers, and said smugly, "It's a comic series? How childlike, if I hadn't looked it up, I wouldn't have known that Mr. Hap had long been in contact with the Ministry of Magic."
"So?" Felix smiled, "I'm also a holder of the St. Mungo's medical badge, a candidate for the Order of Merlin, and I maintain correspondence with members of the Wizengamot, as well as high officials of the Ministry of Magic in several countries ..."
Umbridge's smile faded.
"... But that doesn't mean much, I've voluntarily given up some of my - so-called - contacts." Felix said, "Just to cut down unnecessary interactions."
"So why do you want to teach at Hogwarts? If you want to-"
"No, I don't want to," Felix gave her a look, "that's my answer. Let's get to the point, I have about ... seven minutes."
Umbridge's hand trembled as she gripped her wand, the pile of old-fashioned rings on her fingers rattled, not with fear, but with anger. Her chest rose and fell like a toad with a bulging belly.
But she just said mildly, "Then let's proceed now, Mr. Hap."
"Where is Sirius Black now?"
"Who knows, maybe with his accomplice."
"You didn't catch him?"
"Obviously."
"But you were seen running off with him in an Apparition, can I take that as a sign that he gained your help? I heard that you and Damocles Belby are close friends, and you are also the favourite student of Severus Snape, so with the friendship of two Potions Master, you can easily obtain a polyjuice potion."
Felix smiled blankly, he had just talked to Professor McGonagall that he would question the Ministry of Magic about the polyjuice potion, but he did not expect the black pot to be thrown at him so quickly.
So he said, "I could have asked you to produce evidence, and if not, I'll teach you a deep lesson that some things cannot be said lightly." He is pleased to see Umbridge puff up her eyes and glare at him, "But I thought it might be good to show you the scene, so you won't come back to annoy me later ..."
Felix gazed at her, a picture darting through his pupils.
"This place is-? I'm warning you, kidnapping a high-ranking Ministry of Magic official-" Umbridge said pointedly, looking around in a panic, this is a forest clearing, and she could see from afar 'Felix' and ' Sirius' scuffle scene.
"Don't you want to know what's going on?"
Then she saw the battle belonging to a wizard, not a simple spell against a spell, but gorgeous to the extreme magic, with large flames, lightning, and magical rays of various colours intermingling.
Trees fell and broke apart, and stones as big as a man's head made a heart-pounding whistling sound as they flew past her, leaving a shrill roar in her ears.
'Felix' held a bright flame in his hand, ancient runes looming, and the next second, the overwhelming flames like mercury, instantly swept through the entire forest, magical flames raging and spreading wide as hundreds of feet away, and everywhere they went, trees and rocks would all turn into ashes, almost in the blink of an eye, it appeared in front of them.
Umbridge let out an ear-piercing scream, followed by her entire body being engulfed in flames ...
"Ahhhhhh-"
Umbridge screamed and jumped up, still in front of her eyes is Professor McGonagall's office, fake, it's all fake ... she told herself over and over again, the tongues of fire reflected in her pupils.
She heard Felix's voice continue, seemingly unaware of her abnormality, and said with a sight of emotion, "Sirius is awfully strong, isn't he? I suggest you to send some Hit Wizard..."
Umbridge gulped as she sat down again and kept adjusting her sitting posture, "I, ahem! This is what happened then? If I were to ask you to testify-"
"I should remind you that memories can be fabricated, and the Wizengamot court will not use memories as evidence, so you can absolutely assume that I was just teasing you," Felix said.
Umbridge looked at him with his jaw agape and heard him continue, "Now the question is, do you believe that I can do what I remember?"
Believe? She didn't really want to believe it, but the feeling was too real, and whenever she tried to refute it in her mind, the image of being drowned in a sea of fire came out of nowhere.
She hurriedly ended the cross-examination and dragged her short, fat body away, saying on her way out, "Thank you for your cooperation, Mr. Hap."
She is in a dire need of cute cat teacups and colourful bows to soothe her broken heart, and she wants nothing more than that today.
Felix crossed his legs and couldn't help but think, "Who said thinking room didn't have the ability to attack, it's not bad to use it to scare people."
