Hogwarts: I'm Harry's older cousin

Chapter 378, Section 372: I'm going to send you all to Azkaban.

"I don't remember."

Colin turned his head away, trying hard not to look at the disgusting toad face opposite him.

"Wow, there are so many that I can't even count them all, hehehe~~"

Umbridge covered her mouth and chuckled with an exaggerated expression.

If the person opposite you were a young girl, at least it would be pleasing to the eye, but since it's her sitting opposite you, this forced voice only makes people feel disgusted.

Colin, being a normal person, thought the same way, so he was even more unwilling to turn his head. Seeing that Colin remained unresponsive and showed no intention of replying, Umbridge took out a white quill pen and gently ran his fingertip across the quill.

This quill pen was used to punish Colin and his gang; every time they wrote with it, their blood would be continuously drawn out.

It's worth mentioning that this quill, which can be used as a tool of punishment, is not classified as a dark magic item.

Just as Mr. Weasley left himself a way out when drafting the law against the misuse of Muggle items—that "modified Muggle cars do not constitute a violation of the misuse of Muggle items"—Umbridge, who participated in drafting the latest law on dark magical items, also left himself a way out.

And that's how this quill pen came to be.

This is why Umbridge dares to use it openly without worrying about being sued.

Moreover, she was much bolder than Mr. Weasley, and the escape routes and loopholes she left for herself were not just one or two.

Umbridge smiled, gazing at Colin with her bulging "frog eyes," and said in as gentle a tone as possible, "Child, tell me, what are you planning to do?"

"Rest assured, we are the Ministry of Magic, representing justice. Whatever you have done, we will forgive you."

"You're all still just kids. Have you been misled by someone, like a professor or a principal?"

If it were the first time you met her, you could easily be deceived by her appearance. Unfortunately, this wasn't the first time Colin had dealt with her.

He knew perfectly well that the old toad was just saying it for show.

The last sentence was so blunt it couldn't be more so; it was blatant seduction.

If it were any other junior wizard, they would have immediately blamed the professor.

Seeing that Colin still wouldn't speak, Umbridge's smile gradually disappeared, along with her patience, replaced by anger. This emotion made Umbridge's toad-like face look even more terrifying, and her tone became stern and harsh.

Perhaps this is her true personality.

"What are you planning to do? What are you all planning to do?"

"My patience has its limits."

"I know you've been secretly gathering together, I know you've assembled a large group of people, and this is a blatant violation of the Ministry of Magic's regulations."

"Do you know what this means? You'll be sent to prison, to Azkaban prison."

"If you don't want to be expelled from school and your parents to be implicated, then you'd better tell me right now."

"If you tell me now, I'll let you go. We can pretend nothing happened, and no one else will know."

When inducement failed, he resorted to threats. Umbridge's demeanor and tone were reminiscent of a "Wei Junjie" (a famous Chinese businessman).

If it were an ordinary novice wizard, they would have been terrified by this and would have told everything.

Unfortunately, she was facing Colin, Colin who looked up to Harry Potter and was the leader of the Harry Potter fan club.

Even when he was frightened by the other person and his eyes started to turn red, he resolutely refused to say anything.

"Very good, very good."

Umbridge reverted to her previous appearance, her transformation so swift it was astonishing.

"You think nothing will happen if you don't tell? You think I won't find out if you don't tell? Hehehe~~~"

As he spoke, Umbridge wiggled his large buttocks, then opened a drawer and took out a small bottle filled with a clear liquid.

"Oh, the enchanting potion, so alluring."

Umbridge shook the bottle, her face filled with fascination: "Do you know what this is?"

"It has a very pleasant-sounding name—truth serum."

"Just two or three drops are enough to uncover the deepest secrets hidden in your heart."

Colin stared blankly at the small bottle. He knew about the Truth Potion; Snape had introduced it in Potions class, and it could uncover the secrets of other people's hearts.

He didn't know what was so pleasant about the words "truth serum"; he only knew that he absolutely could not drink it.

"Using truth serum without authorization is illegal and will result in being sent to Azkaban prison!"

Colin's forehead began to sweat, and his expression became tense.

"Not bad, not bad. You actually know the consequences of abusing Veritaserum, but your understanding of the regulations is still very superficial." Umbridge seemed to admire Colin's appearance. "To correct you, Mr. Crevy is not affiliated with the Ministry of Magic. He is prohibited from abusing Veritaserum when engaging in activities unrelated to the Ministry of Magic. The maximum penalty is imprisonment in Azkaban."

This is similar to the fact that the most serious crime is punishable by death, but it doesn't mean that every crime is punishable by death.

"I am currently a Senior Investigator at Hogwarts, Ministry of Magic. Using Veritaserum is legal and compliant with regulations."

Colin's first instinct was to escape, but before he could act, he was struck by a binding spell and frozen in place.

Umbridge slowly walked to Colin's side, holding a very short wand. She let out a giggle, which, although she considered herself very girlish, sounded no different to Colin than the death knell of banshees.

"Eat it and then tell me what you're going to do."

Umbridge roughly pinched Colin's mouth shut. Colin struggled desperately, but his strength was completely suppressed. Umbridge's fat body seemed to contain the power of the "Nine Toads," and he forcefully pried open Colin's mouth.

Then she twisted open the bottle and was about to pour the vomit-reducing agent into Colin's mouth.

With a loud bang, the door was kicked open from the outside, and a group of people—or rather, a group of young wizards holding wands—filed in.

The cats in the portrait in the room seemed to be startled by the sudden noise, and they all disappeared from the frame with their hisses.

"Harry Potter, look what you're all doing! Who gave you the right to barge into the room of a professor and a Minister for Magic?"

Umbridge gripped her short, thick wand and shouted angrily at the leader.

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw the Auror lying on the ground, and her voice immediately rose several decibels: "What are you doing?! Look what you've done?! You even attacked an Auror?!"

"I'm going to send you all to Azkaban."

Is that reader with the heavy taste who likes Umbridge and wants her to be the female lead still around?
