By the Black Lake, Dumbledore and Crouch had already arrived at the scene.

On the way, Madam Hooch had told them roughly what had happened.

The matter was very simple. Madam Hooch had applied for the replacement of the school's brooms many times. The brooms provided to students for flying classes were the Comet and Meteor series from decades ago, and many of them had even lost all the hair on their tails.

Not to mention the flying speed, stability and safety alone are also a big problem.

Umbridge was here to conduct an inspection. If she determined that these brooms would endanger the safety of students, she would apply for funds from the Ministry.

Madam Hooch was quite happy and felt that Umbridge was finally going to do something human.

But what she didn't know was that Umbridge was holding back something bad.

If there were really safety hazards, she would not help replace the new brooms, but would directly cancel the flying class through the Ministry of Magic.

Mrs. Hooch was practicing flying with the first-year students, and Umbridge was standing by the Black Lake, expecting an accident to happen, even if someone fell from the sky.

It was at that time that she did not notice that the calm Black Lake had a wave.

Umbridge did not turn back until a student screamed, but it was too late.

The tentacles of the giant squid had already reached out, and with a gentle roll, Umbridge was entangled by the tentacles and dragged into the Black Lake.

After understanding it, Dumbledore didn't know what to say.

He was also very strange in his heart. Even the squid disliked Umbridge?

You know, the giant squid has a very gentle temper. In the past, it would send the little wizards who accidentally fell into the water back to the shore, and never took the initiative to attack people.

There is even an extremely unreliable legend in the school-the giant squid is the trump card left by Gryffindor to protect the school.

There is no basis for this statement, but the squid... is indeed related to Gryffindor.

Back then, Gryffindor felt that the Black Lake was too deserted, so they brought back a lot of seafood, including the fishman tribe, and the squid appeared at that time.

"Albus, what should we do now?" Madam Hooch panicked.

It has been ten minutes since she called people. Could Umbridge be dead?

There are still many first-year students around. They were all in the flying class just now. They were frightened by the sudden rise of the giant squid. They looked at the calm Black Lake in panic.

"Fawkes." Dumbledore called softly, and a ball of fire appeared in front of him, and Fawkes flew out.

"Help me find Newt and bring him here, the sooner the better."

After Dumbledore gave the order, Fawkes flapped his wings and flew high into the sky. Judging from the direction he left, it should be the Forbidden Forest.

That's normal. Newt almost never stayed in the office assigned to him by the school. Whether in class or at ordinary times, he basically took students to the Forbidden Forest.

Seeing Madam Hooch's panic, Dumbledore comforted her softly: "RoLanda, don't worry, the giant squid is gentle and has no habit of eating people. "

"And Umbridge is a wizard, with a wand in her hand, she can protect herself no matter what."

"Principal, do you mean that wand?" A first-year wizard said weakly, pointing to a small wooden stick floating on the lake.

Looking at the length, Umbridge is the only one in the whole school who uses this deformed wand.

Dumbledore: "......."

He couldn't hold it anymore.

Mrs. Hooch's face became even paler. Fortunately, Fawkes came back soon, and Newt was also brought over, looking confused.

"Dumbledore, why are you looking for me so urgently?"

"Umbridge was dragged into the lake by a giant squid, and I need your help to rescue her."

"I know. "Hearing this, Newt also knew that the situation was urgent. He opened the box without hesitation and put his head in.

After a while, in the amazed eyes of the little wizards, two kelpies came out.

Newt grumbled a few words, and then fed a few pieces of meat, and the kelpies jumped into the water.

While the kelpies were saving people, Newt also asked curiously: "How did she provoke the giant squid? This is the first time I have seen it angry."

"I don't know." Dumbledore shook his head and whispered: "Rolanda said that Umbridge just stood here and didn't do anything out of the ordinary."

"That's strange--" Newt said subconsciously, and suddenly thought of something, and his voice became smaller and smaller.

Dumbledore noticed his abnormality: "What did you think of?"

"No, nothing, I don't know anything. "Newt lowered his head guiltily, not daring to look at anyone.

He suddenly thought... Could this matter be related to Wayne?

The giant squid is docile in nature, and it will suddenly go crazy if it is not provoked. There is only one possibility.

Someone has done something.

There are three people in the whole Hogwarts who can make friends with magical animals and even command them - himself, Hagrid who has not returned yet, and a little wizard Hufflepuff who is both good in character and learning.

And for those who have a grudge against Umbridge, the result is obvious.

Dumbledore saw that Newt, who could not lie, helped to cover up, and he understood everything at once.

The two looked at each other, smiled awkwardly at the same time, and tacitly hid their guesses in their hearts.

Others did not notice, but Crouch saw it, and his expression became strange.

With each of them thinking about it, another fifteen minutes passed.

"It's out. "Newt suddenly said.

Dumbledore narrowed his eyes and cast an Eagle Vision spell on himself, only then could he see clearly that a water monster jumped out of the water in the center of the lake, with a figure on its back.

Soon, the water monster reached the shore and threw the unconscious Umbridge to the ground. Newt tookAfter feeding the two water monsters with meat and small fish, they put them back into the box.

The students just glanced at Umbridge, who was covered with mucus and exuding a pungent stench, and looked away with disgust, their attention was all attracted by the magical box.

Dumbledore squatted down, covered his nose and checked it.

"She's still alive. Send her to Madam Pomfrey first, Fawkes."

"Chirp chirp!" Fawkes pecked off a few of Dumbledore's hair angrily, and flew away without even looking at Umbridge.

Dumbledore smiled bitterly, he knew Fawkes was angry.

Phoenixes love cleanliness the most, and Fawkes didn't set fire to Umbridge's ruined appearance, which was a face-saving thing for him.

Using a spell to control Umbridge to float, Dumbledore looked sideways at Crouch: "Sorry Barty, you can't take Umbridge with you today. We must ensure the professor's safety." (To read the exciting novel, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

Crouch looked embarrassed, hesitated for a moment and said: "I will talk to him, listen to his advice."

Dumbledore knew who he was referring to here, nodded and took Umbridge away.

The little wizards who were gathered here also dispersed. They walked towards the castle excitedly, and couldn't wait to share the melon with their friends.

At night, Wayne was still arguing with the system about the name of the achievement.

It was too damn eye-catching.

The combination of the two words "binding" and "Umbridge" could make him vomit all the leftover food from yesterday.

But after the system followed the advice, the changed name of the achievement made him black out.

What white turbidity, what tentacles rushing forward, what fierce battle...

Wayne finally accepted it with a pinch of his nose.

On the Black Lake.

The boy sat on the head of the giant squid and looked up at the stars.

"Rost, what did you do to Umbridge today?"

The giant squid made a low and long humming sound, Wayne understood it, and showed a look of disgust in his eyes.

"So disgusting, I just let you play with it, but you actually excreted it..."[]

Rost: "......."

It felt so wronged, didn't you ask me to treat that woman well, and now you think it's disgusting.

"That's enough." Wayne patted Rost's smooth big head: "Go back and wash yourself, eat some clean and hygienic food, I'll bring Astoria to play with you in a few days."

The buzzing sound rang again, but this time it was much weaker, as if it was still sad because of being despised.

Rost came to the shore and stretched out a tentacle to connect to the land. Wayne slid down like a slide and came to Newt who had been standing there for a long time.

"Senior, you're still not sleeping so late, this is not good, it's not good for your liver."

"You have to be able to sleep." Newt didn't care about Wayne's teasing, watching the giant squid slowly sink into the lake.

"~Umbridge has woken up, but she was very frightened and kept shouting. She was knocked unconscious by Pomfrey with a spell and will be sent to St. Mungo's for treatment tomorrow."

"Senior, you are not sympathizing with her, are you?" Wayne looked at the old man.

Newt hesitated for a moment, but still nodded: "I know you don't get along, but this is... this is too miserable."

"If you don't like her, just drive her away and expel her from the Ministry of Magic. With your current influence, you can do this."

Wayne knew that Newt's good-natured personality had come out again. He was merciful to Grindelwald back then, so it's not surprising that he could say such words.

But... driving Umbridge out of the Ministry of Magic, isn't it more painful than killing her?

For a powerful creature like Umbridge, humiliation, injury, and even sacrificing life are not as painful as having the power taken away from her.

"Senior, don't worry about it." Wayne laughed dumbly, "The Ministry of Magic will give Umbridge the most fair punishment according to the rules, don't you think, Mr. Crouch?"

Not far away, Crouch walked out from behind a big tree and came to the two of them.

"Mr. Scamander, please believe in the fairness of the Ministry of Magic and the Department of Integrity. They will not let any bad guy go, nor will they wrongly accuse any good guy."

Crouch said very seriously. Seeing his righteous look, Newt nodded slightly.

Unfortunately, what Senior Newt didn't know was that Crouch's definition of good and bad people had been distorted.

Everything is subject to Lawrence's will.

If Wayne says you are black, you are black.

If Wayne says you are white, even if he uses the Unforgivable Curse in front of him, Crouch can find a reason to excuse him.

The bottom line is so flexible.

"It's getting late, Mr. Crouch should go back first. (Nono Zhao)" Wayne took out a bottle of magic potion and handed it over. Crouch took it, bowed slightly, said goodbye to Newt, and walked slowly towards Xueda.

"Is there something wrong with his body?" Looking at his back, Newt frowned slightly.

"No." Wayne smiled and shook his head: "I asked for medicine for others."

In fact, this bottle of magic potion is a soul-nourishing liquid for Mrs. Crouch.

Souls are not ghosts. According to the rules of the world, they should not stay in the world. Even if they have the resurrection stone as an anchor, they will gradually weaken before they have a physical body, and eventually return to the ancient road again.

With this bottle of soul-nourishing liquid, Mrs. Crouch should be able to hold on for a few more months. When Crouch finishes his work, Wayne will naturally revive her completely.

"By the way, senior, did you bring the cat leopard here?" Wayne suddenly asked.

Newt glanced at the suitcase and took a step back cautiously: "Don't think about Charles."

Charles is the name of his cat panther.

Wayne said in a very aggrieved defense: "No, Dumbledore hopesI'm teaching Harry Legilimency, and I just thought of the cat panther, lend it to me."

Newt was relieved a little.

Every cat panther is a natural Legilimency master, and it is indeed a good coach.

After hesitating for a moment, Newt agreed: "I can lend it to you, but you must return it to me when the time comes."

Newt was also afraid of being fleeced.

Now Zou Wu is still in Wayne's hands.

"I promise to return it to you."

This sentence was said sincerely, after all, the cat panther did not grow up to Wayne's aesthetic taste, and he was not interested in it no matter how powerful it was..
