"Ahem, ahem" Umbridge cleared her throat again, suppressing her fear of Lucas.
She is a shrewd person who knows that in the face of absolute strength, one must maintain one's obedience.
Sizing up the situation, making a decision before making a move, is the principle of doing things engraved in the bones of every Slytherin.
"Tell me about your deal."
"Mr Grindelwald, my distant relative in Germany is a small captain of the German Auror Command, he can help you take the people out of the castle."
"I venture to guess that your father should have some minor problems. The Ministry of Magic of the two countries does not seem to intend to let him leave Nurmengard, let alone allow the healer to enter the castle, right?"
Lucas glanced at her with a half-smile.
"You're a smart person, so what do you want?"
"Actually, it's nothing more than a piece of cake for you, I would like to ask you to help find Harry Potter's hiding place."
"D.A?"
"Mr Grindelwald really knows about the D.A."
Lucas looked up at the ceiling, thought for a long time before saying: "Umbridge, your purpose is probably to make me conflict with Dumbledore, right?"
Seeing the coldness in the eyes of the blond boy, she hastily waved her hands, and her face turned even paler.
"I dare not, I just want to punish the unruly Harry Potter, he has a great reputation, if I punish him, other students will become more honest."
"Kill the chicken to scare the monkeys?"
Umbridge nodded apprehensively and said, "That's right, it's killing chickens to scare monkeys, killing chickens to scare monkeys!"
Lucas sneered and said, "Don't be nervous, I'm just talking casually, I agree to your conditions, but when will you finish what you promised me?"
"I will write a letter tonight, and let a family member use a portkey to deliver the letter, and there will be a reply tomorrow at the latest."
"Okay, tomorrow happens to be a meeting of the D.A, and you'll get things done. I will personally help you to catch Harry Potter."
A gleam flashed in Umbridge's eyes.
She didn't expect things to go so smoothly. It seems that the situation in Nurmengard is not optimistic.
"Mr Grindelwald, then I won't bother you."
"Wait, I have one more request."
Umbridge, who was about to leave, stopped immediately.
"Please tell me."
"You should know Ronald Weasley, right?"
Seeing the toad nodding, Lucas continued: "Recently he said something that shouldn't be said. As the High Inquisitor, you should be in charge of this matter, right?"
Umbridge's eyes lit up: "The student's virtue is also my responsibility as the High Inquisitor, I promise to make him stop talking nonsense in the future and be a good boy with good manners."
The reason why she agreed so readily is all because of Ronald Weasley's identity.
The Weasley family, Dumbledore's supporters.
If she accidentally punished Ronald Weasley too severely, it would be on Lucas.
Then the relationship between Lucas and Dumbledore might become even worse, right?
After sending off Umbridge, Lucas took out a letter and handed it to Medusa.
"Send it to the old Prewett house."
"Okay!" Medusa held the envelope in her mouth and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
…
Harry was discussing the D.A with Ron and others.
"Are we really going to start learning the Patronus Charm tomorrow?" Neville asked curiously.
"That's right, it's a pity that we don't have a Boggart, otherwise you would learn faster. I used a Boggart to learn."
Seeing Harry's regretful expression, Ron immediately comforted him and said, "Don't worry, I believe everyone can learn it."
"And we have such a great teacher, don't you think?"
Neville and Seamus nodded again and again.
During this period of time, the members of the D.A have indeed improved compared to the past.
They can now use the Disarming Charm, Stunning Charm and Reductor Curse proficiently.
Talking about learning content, the four chatted about Umbridge again.
Since they are in the dormitory, they don't have to worry about being heard by others when they speak, so the topic revealed a lot about the Room of Requirements.
"Malfoy is really stupid. A few times we left through the side corridor, and they didn't even notice."
As the nemesis of the Malfoy family, Ron Weasley first laughed at him.
Harry smiled and said, "I think Umbridge is the most stupid, after all this time, she still can't find a way to enter the Room of Requirement."
"Thanks to Fred and George, if it weren't for them, the D.A wouldn't have such a secret training place."
When it comes to the Room of Requirement, several people seem to have endless topics to chat about.
Seamus said he once entered a room full of food and rum.
Neville said that he had entered a place full of plants.
When the three of them looked at Ron, he said with a strange expression: "I once wanted to find a room to hide things, but when I went in, there was nothing in it. I suspect that having a room for emergencies is a bad sign."
The other three didn't take it seriously, they just thought it was Ron himself who made a mistake.
After a while Ron rolled his eyes and said, "Let's make a bet on when Umbridge will find us."
"One more month." Neville said with a sneer.
Seamus shouted, "Three months."
"Then I bet when the semester is over, how about you, Harry?" Ron looked at his friend beside him.
Harry looked at the three of them, laughed and said, "I bet she'll never find it!"
There was loud laughter in the bedroom, but the sky outside was getting darker and darker.
…
In the blink of an eye, it was the evening of the next day.
After dinner, all the students walked to their dormitories.
But there were also many young wizards sneaking towards the Room of Requirements on the seventh floor.
In the Slytherin common room, Lucas sat on the couch with his eyes closed.
At this moment, a human face was reflected in the flames in the fireplace.
"Mr Grindelwald, Argus said that another person disappeared from the seventh floor."
"Got it." Lucas opened his eyes, got up and walked out.
All the Slytherin's students followed behind him.
Lucas' goal moving forward is very clear, the Room of Requirement on the seventh floor.
Slytherin's actions on such a large scale naturally attracted the attention of other students.
As a result, the number of people heading to the seventh floor expanded again.
When everyone came to the tapestry on the seventh floor, they saw the trolls beating Barnabas the Barmy with sticks.
Umbridge had been waiting with Filch for a long time.
"I will trouble you next time, Mr Grindelwald."
Lucas didn't care about other people's gazes, and turned to look at the Slytherin year chiefs beside him.
Needless to say, they immediately understood what he meant.
In an instant, the entire seventh-floor corridor was surrounded by Slytherin students.
Lucas didn't bother to follow the process and raised his wand directly to the door of the Room of Requirement.
"Bombarda Maxima."
White light flashed, and a hole was opened in the wall.
This spell was so strong that it made the entire Hogwarts castle tremble.
Through the breach, people outside could already clearly see the people of the D.A hidden inside.
Seeing Lucas outside holding his wand, Harry turned around and shouted, "Run, run out through the other passage!"
The others reacted quickly and immediately opened other passages in the Room of Requirements.
They had practiced this way many times, and most of them had already run out before Lucas broke through the gate.
The members of the D.A thought they would sneak away from the side as before.
But as soon as they walked out of the Room of Requirements, all kinds of control spells flew around them.
For example, the tripping curse, the imprisonment curse or even the summoning charm on their clothes.
For a time, a large number of members of the D.A were captured by the students of Slytherin.
And on the front Lucas raised his wand and used "bombarda maxima" again.
The door to the Room of Requirement was blasted open and they saw a few people inside who hadn't had time to escape.
Lucas waved his hand, and Draco and others walked in.
"Let me go, let me go, Malfoy!"
Harry was brought out by Draco with his hands tied behind his back.
Seeing Lucas with a calm face, Harry asked angrily: "Why did you do this? Dumbledore trusted you so much."
"I'm just complying with the Educational Decree N. 24. I don't think it has anything to do with Dumbledore, or is it him who instructed you to form this unapproved organization?"
Lucas's words were like a guiding light, immediately reminding Umbridge beside him.
Just when she was about to take people away, Dumbledore's figure appeared above the stairs.
At this moment, the centenarian looked gloomy, watching Lucas under the stairs closely.
"Dumbledore, according to the Ministry of Magic…"
Umbridge didn't manage to finish her sentence, because the anger of the centenarian had fallen on her.
But at the moment, she felt a little happy in her heart. Because she saw disappointment in Dumbledore's eyes, disappointment in Lucas.
"Lucas, it looks like we have to talk."
"Of course, I have no objection."
Lucas turned to let the Slytherins go back first, then he followed Dumbledore to the headmaster's office.
Umbridge certainly didn't want to miss the conversation between the two.
So she asked Filch to take Harry Potter and they followed.
