Chapter 624 How Do You Use the Forgetfulness Spell?
As if to prove her loyalty to Fudge, Umbridge immediately took action after getting the title of Senior Inquisitor.
Of course, she was not stupid. She did not set her authority on Professor McGonagall or Professor Flitwick at the beginning, but chose a relatively soft target.
Professor Sybill Trelawney of Divination.
However, she chose to audit the fifth-year Divination class. At noon that day, Kyle came to the hall and happened to see Ron sitting at the long table of Gryffindor, describing the scene vividly.
"That Umbridge was sitting at the back of the classroom, holding a quill in her hand, constantly scratching on the writing board. I dare say she must have been grading Professor Trelawney at the time..."
Ron was surrounded by many people, from various colleges, and everyone seemed to be eager to know what the so-called Senior Inquisitor was for.
Kyle was also very curious, but because the last class was the Herbology class, he came a little late and couldn't squeeze in at this time.
But at this time, Hermione just walked in from outside with a few books, and she was followed by an angry Harry.
"I think Professor McGonagall is right." Hermione said as she walked, "You must control your temper and don't go against Umbridge in everything. It won't do you any good."
"I can't stand it." Harry said angrily, "She said bad things about Sirius, and am I wrong? Voldemort is stuck on the back of Quirrell's head. I just told the truth."
"But your truth is not what she wants to hear. Hermione said, "and she can put you in detention at any time, and you will suffer in the end."
"I don't care!" Harry said, "I won't let her succeed. No matter how she punishes me, I don't care... and I'm not the only one who does this. Don't forget that Kyle has also refuted her!"
"In fact, I don't want you to learn from me. "
Hermione and Harry were startled by the sudden voice, and when they looked up, they found Kyle standing next to them.
Harry looked a little embarrassed, but soon recovered.
"Kyle, when did you come here?" Hermione asked.
"I've been here since you entered the hall." Kyle said, "but you didn't seem to see me."
"Sorry, I didn't notice." Harry whispered, "I didn't mean to mention that you were in detention, I was just too angry."
"Angry?" Kyle asked, "What happened."
"It was the Defense Against the Dark Arts class this morning... She said that except for Quirrell, all other Defense Against the Dark Arts professors, including Sirius, were incompetent.
"But we all know that Quirrell is the most incompetent one... because he let Voldemort stick to the back of his head."
"So you were so angry that you argued with her?" Kyle said.
"That's right!" At this point, Harry's voice suddenly became much louder, "But it seems that everyone thinks that I was wrong to refute Umbridge. Whether it's Professor McGonagall or others, they all think that I should turn a deaf ear and let her talk nonsense there..."
"Is there anything wrong with this?" Kyle said, "They just don't want to see you punished. I also think you should do this."
Harry was stunned for a moment, looking at Kyle in confusion, "But, didn't you refute her... I thought you would definitely understand my thoughts, and we should let everyone know what the truth is."
"These are two different things." Kyle said, "Understanding does not mean support, and people will not change their attitudes because of your two words. Neither you nor I have such great power.
"In addition, as I said just now, I don't want you to learn from my approach. This will only make you suffer a few more days of physical pain, and nothing else can be changed, unless..."
At this point, Kyle suddenly paused.
"Unless what?" Harry asked.
Kyle thought for a while and said, "Let me ask one more question, how do you use the forgetfulness spell? "
Harry blinked, not understanding why Kyle suddenly asked this, but after hesitating for a moment, he still stammered: "It's, it's okay."
Although he said so, Kyle had already got the answer from his evasive eyes.
Harry's so-called okay should be just a decent statement, and the real situation is probably a mess.
"Forget the spell... Does this have anything to do with being detained by Umbridge?" Harry asked.
"It doesn't matter, I'm just asking casually, you don't have to care." Kyle shook his head, then changed the subject and said: "By the way, you were there in the fifth year Divination class, what did Umbridge, the senior investigator, do."
"I don't know." Harry said, "But I guess she should be grading the professors, and she kept asking Professor Trelawney questions during class...asking her how long she has been in this position and her life experience. "
Kyle nodded. These were the usual methods used by the Ministry of Magic. There was nothing new.
Harry thought for a moment and continued, "By the way, Umbridge finally asked Professor Trelawney to make a prophecy for her."
"Prophecy?" Kyle asked curiously, "What is it?"
"It's the same old stuff." Harry lowered his voice and said, "You must know that Professor Trelawney, this big liar, can't make any prophecies except scaring people, so she still wants to use the same old trick this time.
"She told Umbridge that she was stepping into a trap and that she would be in terrible danger.
"But Umbridge didn't seem to believe it and expressed doubts about Professor Trelawney's ability to predict the future."
"Trap?" Kyle raised his eyebrows.
"That's what Professor Trelawney said." Harry said nonchalantly, "But it's definitely fake. I hear similar words three times in every class."
"That's not necessarily true..." Kyle muttered in a low voice.
"What did you say?" Because the voice was too low, Harry couldn't hear it clearly.
"Nothing, I said thank you." Kyle patted Harry's shoulder, "In return, I can tell you in advance what Umbridge's detention is."
"What is it." Harry asked eagerly.
Kyle said calmly: "Carve words on your hand with a knife."
Before Harry could react, Hermione shouted first: "She can't do this! Even in the last century, Hogwarts has never had such a cruel detention punishment... No, I'm going to tell Professor McGonagall. "
"Don't worry." Kyle stopped Hermione who was about to run out and continued, "I just provided a possibility. What if she changes to another way at that time? This is all possible.
"And no matter what the punishment is, Umbridge can't do it openly. Even if Professor McGonagall goes, it may not be useful, so there is only one best way."
Kyle looked at Harry again, "When you are in detention, don't say anything, just take the initiative to admit your mistakes, maybe you can escape."
"Kyle is right." Hermione agreed, "Umbridge is a professor, you can't go against her."
"Impossible, I will never admit my mistakes to her!" Harry said with his neck stiff.
"Don't talk nonsense, it's not good for you."
"But I didn't say anything wrong..."
Harry and Hermione quarreled again, just like when they first came in.
But at this time, Kyle had returned to the Hufflepuff table.
If even Hermione couldn't persuade Harry, then it would be useless even if he had one more.
