It was about the time before the class bell in the first class sounded, and when they searched for the Umbridge trail in the A History of Magic classroom, Marx left his office.

To be precise, he happened to be on the third floor of the main fort, the corridor in front of the Office of Professor Defense Against the Dark Arts.

The wind outside the window screamed with enthusiasm, and the sky was darker and darker. It seemed that there might be a violent shower pouring down.

Going out from the window opening, the sky with thick clouds seems to be within reach.

“This weather, I feel sorry for the atmosphere created by nature.” Marx walked forward and looked at the gray outdoor, muttering.

Suddenly, a slam “creak” in front of the door opened, and a silhouette stepped out of the room and turned and walked over here.

It seems that there is something important to do, and it is time to hurry!

“Oh – Professor McLorne?”

The man was paused, although it was obviously a little hasty, but he did not forget to politely bow to Marx. It was just that when he first hit Marx, his eyes looked a little weird.

“Good morning… um, sorry, professor… I have to go to class quickly, or I should be late.”

Marx was nodded towards him, and he returned home to complied, then looked back and quickly left.

After the opponent’s back disappeared at the corner, Marx turned back and glanced at the door he came out – the Office of Professor Defense Against the Dark Arts.

“…Sokaradis.” He thought about it, but then he shook his head again. “It doesn’t matter. Anyway, it’s just asking one less question…”

While thinking darkly, Marx has already reached the front of the door, knocking his hand twice with the slightest hesitation.

“笃笃”

“… please come in.”

There was no immediate response in the room, but it took a few seconds to wake up.

Without waiting for the voice to settle, Marx twisted the doorknob and went straight inside. The next moment, as the “peng” sounded, the door closed tightly.

“Good morning, Umbridge Senior Investigator.”

“You want to do -“

Umbridge was shocked by Marx, who suddenly appeared in front of her eyes. But the next moment, she forced herself to press the heart that she almost pulled out, and her face showed some kind of stiff smile.

“Cough… Well, I mean… Good morning, Professor McLorne,” she said dryly. “So come over so early, is there anything I am looking for?”

“Of course,” Marx smiled and nodded. “A little thing…”

As he spoke, he turned his head and looked at the side wall. Then he took a step, just like walking in the garden and coming to the wall.

“You – coughing -” Umbridge sat behind the desk, and some of them couldn’t help but move their ass. “Do you like the decorative tray of the ‘Playing Cat Series’? They look cute, aren’t they?”

“Cat?” Marx turned his head and smiled. “Yes, that’s right… I like these little animals very much, but I prefer real cats, not these decorative plates.”

He seemed to arbitrarily reach out and knock on the black Mumbai cat’s plate, and the black cat at the bottom of the plate lazily moved to the side. Coincidentally, Umbridge moved again and looked like it was a bit restless.

She found that using this as an excuse was a very stupid decision.

“Oh… I said…” Umbridge hurried, “Professor McLorne, is there anything you have come to me? Is it better to talk about it first?”

“Oh – of course, if you want,” Marx shrugged said. “But before that -“

“ka-cha -“

When he hadn’t finished speaking, he saw a crack on the edge of the decorative plate and quickly spread to the entire plate. The next moment, with the sound of “hua la”, the plate was completely broken into pieces.

“you–“

At the time of Umbridge’s horror, Marx looked at the flesh at the foot.

“You can say it first, I haven’t planned to break it yet…” He shook his head. “But… forget it, it’s just one of those two…”

“What do you want to do?” Umbridge clenched the wand under the desk, and the voice was sharp. “I am a senior investigator, representing the Ministry of Magic! You can’t do anything to me!”

“Well, then?” Marx looked at her.

“And then? You still don’t understand? If you don’t want to be invited by the Ministry of Magic to drink tea, if you don’t want Hogwarts to stop school and close the school, then you will –“

“Okay,” Marx interrupted Umbridge, who was somewhat hysterical, calmly. “I understand what you said. In fact, I don’t want to make any noise at this time…”

“Then you still -“

“Close your mouth,” Marx expressionless walked over Umbridge. “If there weren’t many things lately, I wouldn’t mind playing with you for the game, but now the situation is different.”

“You, don’t come over -“

The smirk on Umbridge’s face no longer exists. As Marx stepped closer, her forehead oozes fine sweat, making the thick foundation begin to become a little sticky.

She held the hand of wand and shivered slightly under the table. She raised her right hand in her head and made her feel like a wand.

then……

No, no, then! She couldn’t imagine what kind of picture would be after that!

“Don’t go any further, don’t get closer -“

Marx’s pace didn’t go down a bit. At the moment he was almost a few steps away from Umbridge, the string in Umbridge’s mind broke.

“Drilling heart -“

The spells haven’t finished yet, Umbridge feels slippery, and wand suddenly falls into the hands of Marx.

“The last person who dared to curse me at such a close distance, you are not so lucky,” Marx smacked the wand in his hand, whispering, “Birch, Dragon Heart String… Well, just eight inch?”

He placed Umbridge’s wand on the table in front of him and looked straight at him with his cold eyes.

“I tentatively ask you—” Marx chuckled. “If I tell you now, your younger brother has been living in the prison of muggle world for a few years… Do you have any thoughts?”

“What do you want to say? Where do I come from the younger brother?” Umbridge’s back leaned against the back of the chair and tried to stay away from Marx. “Don’t get closer! You can’t move me, you have to figure out that you are What to do-“

Her face was distorted by fear, which made her face with makeup look even more ugly.

“Is this your answer?” Marx was nodded. “If this is the case, then forget it…”

The woman in front of him is very famous in the Ministry of Magic, although she is always pondering the endless sinister means of excluding dissidents.

She is obviously a half-blood, father is a wizard, and mother is a muggle. After the couple gave birth to her, they also gave birth to a son.

However, her pro-younger brother is a squib insulated from magic.

To this end, Umbridge and her father all blamed the muggle mother, even when she was fifteen, forced her mugle mother and the younger brother out of her family.

After that, the eldest daughter of Umbridge lived with the father in the magic circle, and her younger brother returned to the world of the muggle with mother.

According to Marx, when Umbridge worked at Ministry of Magic, she tried to prevent her family from being leaked out. She refused to persuade father to retire early, and then falsified her origin with a complete lie.

But there is a wall that is impenetrable in this world. Most of her colleagues know this. After all, her father used to work in Ministry of Magic.

When Marx saw her hearing about the pro-younger brother’s recent situation, the first reaction was actually to deny his existence, and could not help but laugh at himself.

“When did I start to take care of these things…” He raised his eyebrows and thought, “Is it because of Luna?”

Putting the thoughts aside for a moment, Marx pulled out a bottle of potion and placed it in front of Umbridge.

“Veritaserum and Legilimens, choose one yourself!” He pointed to the potion bottle and wand on the table, and chose the choice question that didn’t matter much.

Umbridge’s hands couldn’t help but tighten, and the line of sight slid back and forth between the table and Marx’s face, and the invisible pressure made her gasp difficult.

In the face of real power, her little means are ridiculous. The blue-white column in the magic class, and the chill that went deep into the bone marrow at that time, seemed to span the time and space, freezing her whole body.

The flame in the fireplace is still beating, but she feels like she is in the hail.

“Well, since you don’t know how to choose, let me help you choose…” Marx said faintly. “As far as I am concerned, it is better to choose the Legilimens curse – Veritaserum is not cheap!”

He gently picked up the wand, Umbridge subconsciously wanted to escape, but because of the tight and stiff joints, it seems to be rusted, how can not move.

Even the mantra was not heard, and a huge mental shock directly penetrated her mind; the next moment, her consciousness was blank.

For a moment, Marx took the wand to the table and picked up Veritaserum and walked to the door.

“peng!”

The door of the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor’s office was closed again, and the office was full of pink, leaving only a chunky silhouette that was soft on the chair.

The old face with his eyes wide open still has horror and confusion.
