Umbridge nudged Marietta.
She added a smile to Fudge.
"Minister, her mother is Mrs. Eckmore in the Department of Magical Transportation's Flying Network office. She's helping us monitor the hearth at Hogwarts..."
"Like mother, like daughter! Good boy, tell me quickly!"
Fudge praised her and urged Marietta to speak up quickly.
Marietta looked into Darren's eyes, screamed, and covered her eyes tightly.
"Hurry up, tell these people what you said when you walked into my office today!"
"Umbridge said loudly."
But Marietta burst into loud sobs. She covered her face with her robe.
Fudge frowned.
"Her face..."
"This young lady walked into my office and told me that she was going to expose something that would be in my best interest."
And she even said the room was called the Room of Requirement. Just as she said that, the curse on her face started to take effect, and she stopped talking after that…”
"Umbridge said loudly."
Marietta let out another painful howl.
Fudge said impatiently, "Can you remove her curse?"
"We don't have the necessary conditions at the moment..."
"I'm so frustrated," Umbridge said.
He couldn't even break Hermione's spell.
But she still said firmly, "She can't say it, I'll say it for her. Minister, do you remember the matter I reported to you last October..."
She was referring to the fact that Harry and his friends had recruited so many people at the Hog's Head. However, Dumbledore stated that the law was not in effect at that time.
He demanded that Umbridge provide evidence that Darren and his group held another party after that time.
Umbridge pointed directly at Marietta.
She glared at Marietta and said fiercely, "Child, if you've ever done this, then nod your head. I think you wouldn't even refuse to nod, would you?"
Harry's heart leaped into his throat in horror.
He saw Darren close his eyes in despair.
He was trying to comfort Darren, telling him that even if he was fired, he wouldn't let Darren end up on the streets.
But then he heard a strange sound. It sounded like Fox's voice.
Then, under the watchful eyes of everyone...
Fudge looked at Marietta and asked, "Do you think your subsequent gatherings still exist?"
Marietta's gaze went blank.
She said in a low voice, "No, we've never had a party like that again."
Harry saw Darren open his eyes in shock.
Marietta seemed surprised by what she said.
However, Darren seemed to naively believe that Marietta had a change of heart and even gave her a comforting smile.
This brought a helpless smile to Harry's face. Naive Darren.
He was about to remind Darren.
Then they saw Umbridge grab Marietta and shake her violently. Darren angrily swung his wand and knocked her away.
He said angrily, "What are you doing? You're bullying an unarmed girl just because she spoke up for us?"
Umbridge wanted to argue.
But when she saw Darren pick up his wand, she instinctively took a step back in horror.
Even the Aurors present shut their mouths.
“Alright, Dolores, I think we have other evidence, as long as it proves they're having a party here tonight!”
"It's all business," Fookie said in a businesslike manner.
Umbridge immediately looked enlightened.
Then a gloating expression appeared on her face.
She took a piece of parchment out of her pocket and handed it to Fudge.
She said proudly, "I asked Mr. Phelps to check if there was anything I had missed, and he found this."
Then I thought the list above, with all the names, should be enough to get someone into Azkaban!
Fudge got the parchment.
He handed the parchment to Dumbledore with a grin.
He said triumphantly, "DA, Dumbledore's Army..."
Darren immediately said, "It's Darren's Army, my army, and it has nothing to do with Headmaster Dumbledore!"
Dumbledore laughed.
He patted Darren on the shoulder and said, "Don't be afraid!"
Then he looked at Fudge and said, "That's right, it's Dumbledore's army, it's my army!"
Fudge's eyes lit up.
He looked at Kingsley and Dexter beside him and shouted happily, "Look, he confessed! Put him in Azkaban!"
The man named Delicious immediately and discreetly reached for his wand.
Dumbledore scoffed, "Darculus, you think you can catch me, you're a fine Auror?"
"Dumbledore, do you think you can handle me, Dolores, Kingsley, and Drax?"
Fudge sneered...
Darren stood in front of Dumbledore.
He said softly but firmly, "Of course, I'm here too!"
"enough!"
Fudge shouted.
A flash of silver light flashed.
Darren knocked Fudge down.
Then he rushed in front of Harry, pinned him down, and another beam of red light struck Umbridge.
Umbridge fell down. Dumbledore had already dealt with Dexterity.
Darren looked at Marietta.
Marietta was being protected by Professor McGonagall. She still had a dazed expression.
Darren hesitated for a moment before saying, "Didn't she have a change of heart?"
"How could she possibly have a change of heart? I altered her memories. You're really something, kid!"
Kingsley walked over and looked at Darren with admiration. Dumbledore smiled.
He grinned, as if praising himself, and said happily, "He's impressive, but he's too trusting of others."
This child actually believed others would have a change of heart; I worry he'll die from trusting others one day.
Dumbledore said.
Then he looked at Kingsley and said, "Looks like I'll have to give you a spell too." Kingsley nodded and resisted a few times.
Then he lay down on the ground too.
Dumbledore then continued, "In a moment, you'll pretend they just lay down. Oh, and I still need to modify their memories."
We can't let them remember that it was Darren who did it. He still has to stay in school, Darren. Don't worry, I'm leaving school. They'll always beg me to come back.
And I still have these things to do, I won't be idle, so this is a good excuse to leave.
Take care, and be very careful!
Dumbledore hugged Darren. Then he looked at Harry.
"Harry, learn Occlumency as soon as possible... I know you still have nightmares, you must control yourself."
"Besides, I knew about your DA event a long time ago; after all, Darren and I haven't been practicing Occlumency for nothing."
Harry nodded.
He discovered his scar was starting to throb with pain. He wanted to attack Dumbledore!
He now knew why Dumbledore wouldn't hug him...
