Chapter 1057: Solution
Chapter 1057: Solution
Umbridge was so complacent that she did not realize that the danger had arrived.
As they reached the cool shade of the first trees, Elaine had revealed her fangs.
If Umbridge were standing next to Elaine now, she would have noticed the strange expression on the child’s face.
Under her sleeve, Salazar Slytherin’s wand was already in her hand, sliding gently with her fingers.
Evan had originally planned to walk a bit further; they were quite far from where Grawp was.
But Elaine didn’t have much patience. Since she was in a hurry, she decided to deal with Umbridge right here.
Elaine stopped, Evan and Hermione also stopped, and the three of them turned to look at Umbridge.
“What’s wrong, dears; are we there yet?” Umbridge asked, pointing her wand at the three of them.
“No,” said Evan. “But for the next part of the journey, you’ll have to go a different way.”
“What?”“I’ve had enough of you, stinky toad,” said Elaine, before she could react, and flicked the wand.
A dark red light flashed past, and a chain locked Umbridge.
Everything happened so fast that Umbridge still hadn’t figured out what was going on.
“How do you have wands?!” She opened her eyes wide and looked at the wands in the hands of Evan and Elaine with an expression of disbelief.
Then, she looked down at the chains on her body, and her ugly mouth opened helplessly.
She didn’t react until Elaine went up and kicked her hard several times.
Umbridge kept twisting and struggling, trying to break free from the chains, but the chains were getting tighter.
Elaine kicked her hard a few more times, which was very relieving. It felt like all grievances had been avenged!
Of course, she was not that strong, and she didn’t actually cause any harm to Umbridge, but it was enough to infuriate her.
This humiliation, pure humiliation! Being trampled underfoot by a girl was more shameful than a direct slap in the face
“Let me go, you three little bastards, do you know what you are doing?” Umbridge screamed, her ugly toad eyes widening, “You are finished, I tell you, I will get you three expelled and sent to Azkaban. I am High Inquisitor of Hogwarts and Senior Undersecretary to the Minister for Magic…”
“You’re too noisy,” said Evan, flicking his wand upwards to send her flying.
Umbridge’s short and fat body flew backwards and hit an oak tree hard, letting out a scream of pain.
“You are crazy, Mason. I will have you arrested, no manners…”
“Quiet, Professor!” said Evan, raising the wand in his hand. “Otherwise I’ll have to knock you out!”
Umbridge shivered and seemed to understand the current situation.
“Let me go, Mason. I will consider this as a little joke, I will not hold it against you, trust me,” said Umbridge in her usual sweet tone. “You can’t do anything to me. Yes, you can only bring yourself into trouble; don’t destroy yourself because of your impulse. The Minister will be at Hogwarts tonight, let me go before it’s too late.”
But the only response she received was Elaine’s foot forcefully stepping on her, causing Umbridge to let out another scream.
She started to curse Elaine so hard that Evan had to make her shut up and make no sound.
“All right, Elaine, a few kicks to let off steam is sufficient!”
“Did she just say that Fudge was coming to Hogwarts?” Hermione asked.
She also walked up to Umbridge; not paying attention to her like Elaine did, but took out her and Elaine’s wands.
“That’s it!” Evan recounted what had happened in her office.
Umbridge listened quietly at first, but when she heard Evan had deceived her about the weapon in the Forbidden Forest, she began to thrash wildly.
She must hate Evan now, probably enough to want him dead.
“What do we do now?” said Hermione, looking into the surrounding woods.
“I don’t want to drink her blood,” said Elaine. “How about we just kill her?”
Umbridge stopped suddenly and looked at the three of them in horror.
Before this, she had never even considered that they might kill her, or rather, she hadn’t thought in that direction.
It was too insane, but now she realized they were capable of it.
She shook her head vigorously, motioning them not to, and wanted to beg for mercy, but she couldn’t speak.
Evan was also sure that Umbridge would not say anything nice or provide any valuable information.
There was no need to listen; it would just be stupid stuff like she was Senior Undersecretary to the Minister for Magic, as if anyone cared.
He tapped Elaine on the head. Despite all his efforts to educate her, dangerous thoughts still filled her mind.
To this day, she couldn’t let go of the idea of killing Umbridge.
If this weren’t Hogwarts, and it weren’t under Dumbledore’s nose, this would be the best way to handle it.
But at school, Evan decided to abide by the rules of Hogwarts.
And there was no need to soil themselves because of Umbridge. It was neither necessary nor valuable…
“I have an idea. Since she wants to find that weapon hidden in the forest, let’s hand her over to Grawp. Let him take care of her for a while,” said Evan, noticing Hermione’s expression. “Don’t worry, Hermione, I have boundaries. I won’t let her die. It’s just a lesson for her, and she definitely won’t bother us for a short time. Since we’ve taken this step, we have no turning back. After coming back from Grawp, we’ll go to the headmaster’s office and prepare to leave the school…”
Evan waved his wand, and Umbridge, bound by chains, slowly floated up.
“Leave school and go to Norway?” Hermione asked.
“Evan, do you want to help my family solve that problem?”
“Well, I’ll go back and talk to your uncle first. I think it’s necessary to go to Norway,” said Evan.
The three of them continued deeper into the Forbidden Forest. The light in the Forbidden Forest became darker, and the road became increasingly difficult to walk.
Next to them, Umbridge, who was controlled by magic, looked even more miserable.
Evan didn’t bother to control her, just let her keep up with the three of them.
As a result, she kept bumping into tree trunks or passing directly through thorny thickets.
But she couldn’t make a sound yet, so she could only stare at Evan with wide eyes.
“If Umbridge goes missing, the Ministry of Magic will definitely send people to look for her in the Forbidden Forest,” Hermione seemed a little worried.
“They won’t succeed. This is not the Ministry’s forest,” said Evan. “Whether it’s the Centaurs or Grawp, they’re not something they can handle. Moreover, they have no intelligence, don’t know where Umbridge went, and would have to send people to chase us.”
The only one who could find Umbridge in the Silent Forest was Dumbledore, and the headmaster would not help them.
The three of them walked forward for fifteen minutes, heading towards the Acromantula’s lair.
Hagrid originally tied Grawp with a rope deep in the Forbidden Forest, but after Evan’s suggestion, he placed Grawp in Aragog’s former cave. It was spacious inside, with hot springs, very suitable for Grawp to live in. Because it was once the territory of the Acromantulas, there were no other creatures nearby.
At that time, Grawp could do whatever he wanted as long as he hid Umbridge deep in the cave.
For the Senior Undersecretary to the Minister for Magic, this would undoubtedly be an unforgettable experience.
