Chapter 989 Veritaserum

Treat yourself to tea?

Could it be that Umbridge has a brain problem, or maybe there is something wrong with the way Fan Lin opened the door.

Open with error?

He had just taught Malfoy a lesson with a spell, and then Umbridge was sitting here and treating him to tea?

It's hard to say, Dumbledore's resistance made them panic? Then come and make up?

Almost instantly, Fan Lin got rid of this unrealistic idea from his head.

Not to mention whether they are willing or not, as far as the Order of the Phoenix is ​​concerned, there is no room for negotiation at all if Fudge does not step down.

She wouldn't poison the tea, would she?

Almost instantly, this thought flashed through Fan Lin's mind. In his opinion, this possibility was the greatest.

Very well, now, Mr. Al. I think we should talk, after the painful events of last night.

Fan Lin didn't say anything, just looked at Umbridge with great interest.

Sorry, professor, I thought you were doing it because of what happened just now. Fan Lin said.

What happened just now?

Yes, just now, I was still lamenting Professor Umbridge's control over Hogwarts. It seems that I don't want to spread rumors. In fact, you have been recognized, haven't you? Fan Lin said lightly , ignoring Umbridge's gloomy expression.

And just now, some people who pretended to be powerful, without your order, disrupted the order of Hogwarts, which forced me to stop them. Speaking of which, I am also partly responsible. Fan Lin said, In fact, I should give them the right guidance.

The scene was very embarrassing at one time, but since the face has been torn apart, there is no need to put on such a show.

Umbridge just sat in her seat, while Fan Lin held a pink teacup in his hand.

It seems that these teacups are of high value, and the patterns are nice.

A few minutes passed in such silence, and Fan Lin did not continue to provoke Umbridge, and Umbridge's eyes fell on the teacup in Fan Lin's hand from time to time.

She suddenly said,

You're not drinking!

Oh? Valindo glanced at Umbridge, there must be something in this cup, he raised the cup to his lips, and suddenly put it down. Behind Umbridge, blue eyes in a drawing of a kitten, like Moody's magical eyes.

Mad-Eye Moody once told everyone not to drink anything the enemy gave them.

No doubt, since Umbridge cared so much...

Fan Lin put the teacup in his hand again, as if he wanted to see something.

The British are very fond of tea. Naturally, Fan Lin is no stranger to tea, and there seems to be nothing unusual about it. Of course, many potions mixed in tea will not produce any abnormalities. For example, colorless Tasteless Veritaserum?

What's the matter? Umbridge said innocently, still looking at him. Do you want sugar?

No, Fan Lin said. It's not necessary. I think the original tea is better.

He raised the cup to his lips again and pretended to be sipping, although he closed his mouth tightly, and the hand hidden in the sleeve turned slightly, using the disappearing spell to control the disappearing mouthful of tea.

Alright, no matter what... the taste is still okay!

This made Umbridge smile even wider.

This made Fan Lin more sure of his reaction. This woman really did not exceed his expectations. To be exact, Umbridge's performance had never disappointed them.

Was this a godsend opportunity, or was it just Umbridge's personality that allowed him to give her a good lesson before leaving?

Okay, she whispered. Very good. Now. She turned slightly.

So, where did you, Harry Potter, and Dumbledore go during the Christmas holiday?

Is this a test?

Fan Lin was a little surprised. He thought Umbridge would directly ask him where the headmaster was. This is probably the most concerned issue of the Ministry of Magic right now.

Fudge is a life-saving person. It can be seen from the fact that he is accompanied by at least two elite Aurors from the Ministry of Magic. You must know that the Auror Department has always been not very interested in Fudge, whether Barty Crouch is alive or not. Scrimgeour was still at that time.

Both of these men were combatants.

I went back to London Professor, with Hermione, Mr. Granger invited us to go skiing, as for the others, sorry Professor, I don't know very well, leaving early is to prepare for surprises, you know Professor, Hogwarts Teaching is not too difficult for me.

Fan Lin answered honestly, even his gaze was dull, but he hadn't completely lost his expression. He knew exactly what state Veritaserum should be in, and through Occlumency, Fan Lin could perfectly control his emotions.

You went home? Umbridge was obviously very dissatisfied with this answer, So, where is Potter, and Dumbledore?

Probably to see Sirius, professor, as you know, Sirius is Harry's godfather.

So you all get together and leave? Umbridge asked.

The reason was really bad, anyone could tell that it wasn't a reason at all, and even coincidence couldn't explain it, but Umbridge had to believe that it was in the case of Veritaserum.

Very good, I think, let's take a sip and continue. Umbridge said, and the corners of Fan Lin's mouth twitched.

Veritaserum is worse than the Imperius Curse. It is a magic drug, and it is impossible to have no side effects. Taking too much Veritaserum can lead to dementia, and it is irreversible.

Umbridge didn't care about anything else, she just wanted the information she wanted.

Fan Lin took another sip as he did.

Fine, so... where is Albus Dumbledore? Umbridge asked.

I don't know, Fan Lin said with a slightly stiff shake of his head.

So, where did Sirius go during the time he disappeared?

disappear?

Just after resigning from the Ministry, said Umbridge.

Oh, maybe he went on vacation. You know that Sirius stayed in Azkaban for a long time. He always complained to Harry. I think he should go to a place with beautiful scenery for a short stay.

Drink, drink, drink it up, Mr. Al! she said, still smiling. Now, Mr. Ayre, we don't play innocent games. I know you already know where he's gone. You and Dumbledore have been together since the beginning. You need to consider your position, Mr. Ayre.

position?

What good is it for you to be against the Ministry of Magic all the time? You must know that you were honored by the Ministry of Magic before, and even more famous than Potter. In the World Championships, you still...

I'm not against the Ministry, Professor, and, I think, it's the Ministry that's gone astray.

Do you really think so? Do you think the Ministry of Magic doesn't understand your dirty things at all? Umbridge said angrily, I'm asking you again, where did Sirius go?

I don't know where he is, Fan Lin repeated. He pretended to drink again but there was no more tea in the cup.

Umbridge was watching him very closely.

Very good, she said, though she looked unhappy. In that case, you will tell me the whereabouts of Sirius Black very quickly.

In that case? Fan Lin said with some amusement, I don't know, professor. His attitude was very sincere.

Mr. Al, said Umbridge, let me remind you that I almost caught him in the Gryffindor furnace in October. I knew full well he was coming to see you and Potter, and he Met you, and if I had proof, you would not be free today, I promise you. I repeat, Mr. Potter. Where is Sirius Black?

I don't know, Fan Lin said loudly, pretending to be angry. No leads.

They stared at each other for such a long time, Fan Lin felt his eyes seemed to be wet. Then Umbridge stood up. Very well, Al, I will remember what you said, but be warned: the Ministry of Magic is mine. This school is under surveillance. A Floo network adjuster is on the way at every Hogwarts Watch in the furnace - except for myself, of course. My Inspector will open and look at every letter that the owls bring in or out of the castle. Also, Mr. Filch is watching all the secret passages.

Oh, of course, that's what you've always done, Professor Umbridge, Fan Lin said.

Also, I have to remind you, Umbridge said angrily, You and Harry Potter once formed an illegal student organization in the school, and you recruited students to join this organization in the Pig's Head Pub.

Fan Lin narrowed his eyes, it was no surprise that Umbridge knew this information. There are many people in the Pig's Head Bar, and anyone may inform.

You have already repeated this matter. Fan Lin said truthfully, We did set up such an organization when we were in the principal's office.

Hearing Fan Lin's words, Umbridge showed a slightly satisfied expression on his face, although the answer to this question was right there.

We did have such a plan! Before she could speak, Fan Lin continued, But it was not illegal at the time. After the Ministry of Magic's decree banning all student associations was implemented, we terminated this organization, and there is no further Keep going.

Really? Umbridge looked at him suspiciously.

Yes, Fan Lin said, but then everyone felt that the Defense Against the Dark Arts class was too bad, and we couldn't learn anything, and we were about to face the ordinary wizard level exam, and one of them had never even used a wand There's no way students would pass the Ordinary Wizarding Ranks, so we have to practice in private.

Then what's up with your names?

The acronym for Defense Against the Dark Arts, Fan Lin said truthfully, so we all think that Dumbledore was wronged.

you are lying!

I didn't! Fan Lin pretended to be aggrieved.

Professor, what exactly do you want to know? Fan Lin looked at her and emphasized, I'm telling the truth.

I want to know what's the relationship between Black and the escaped Death Eaters? Umbridge's smile disappeared, leaving only a grim expression.

Umbridge leaned his body towards Fan Lin, and the ugly toad stared at Fan Lin firmly.

This is a very terrifying action, at least in Fan Lin's eyes, a constantly enlarged toad face?

But Fan Lin still finds it ridiculous, the article in the Daily Prophet?

The article about Sirius helping the Death Eaters break out of prison is still a laughingstock in the Daily Prophet.

There is no evidence that Sirius Black helped the Death Eaters escape from prison, the only connection is probably the useless blood relationship between the nobles, and everyone knows what is going on.

But now, they still haven't given up the idea of ​​pushing the pot. They want to use Veritaserum to get some evidence from Fan Lin to prove that Sirius helped the Death Eaters escape from prison.

Fudge and Umbridge's heads were absolutely flooded. Even with so much evidence, they were still unwilling to believe the fact that Voldemort had returned from the resurrection. Instead, they were doubting Sirius, or more precisely, Dumbledore.

They were afraid of Voldemort. From the beginning to the end, Fudge had this attitude, never daring to face an opponent he could not handle.

Dumbledore's good-natured appearance paralyzed the Ministry of Magic so much that after Dumbledore resisted, they couldn't wait to attack those around Dumbledore.

As far as I know, they don't seem to be connected. Fan Lin replied truthfully, Sirius has always resisted the Death Eaters. They are enemies. If you follow Dumbledore's advice and replace the dementors, Ah Zkaban will not have a large-scale escape, and there is no doubt that Voldemort is more in line with...

Don't mention that name, and don't deny the fact that it has happened. It is illegal in Hogwarts according to the Ministry of Magic. Umbridge stood up and shouted, but then she sat down again .

She seemed to realize that Fan Lin had just taken a large amount of Veritaserum, so it was impossible to tell lies.

This brought a smile to her lips again.

It seems that you are not as important as I thought, Mr. Al, they didn't tell you all the important things, did they?! Well, let's change the subject, what is your relationship with Nicolas?

Teacher and student, professor. Fan Lin replied, I'm Nicole May's closed disciple, and the teacher also said that I will represent him in the International Alchemy Conference after a while.

So Nicolas has completely lost his power? Umbridge asked with interest.

No, Fan Lin shook his head and said, Mr. Nicole May is the greatest alchemist in the past centuries. He has a lot of methods to prolong his life. Moreover, my study is not completely over yet. It is impossible for the teacher to Let me do my own clueless research...

Umbridge frowned.

So, Nicolas May won't die in a short time?

Oh, it's not... Fan Lin thought about it and said, Mr. Nicole May didn't leave much elixir for himself. In the words of the teacher, he still needs a few years to explain some of them. After all, after all, it is the accumulation of more than six hundred years, and the teacher still has a lot of things to deal with.

Process, process what?

Some alchemy products. Fan Lin thought for a while.

Alchemy products? So... Umbridge asked, Did Nicolas leave any for Dumbledore...

Oh, of course, they are good friends, the silverware in the principal's office is one of them, and now, Professor Nicolas is still helping Principal Dumbledore refine...
