This lady, food can be eaten arbitrarily, but words cannot be spoken arbitrarily.
I don't know Sirius Small, nor do I have any relatives with him. Why should I help him?
If you had merely asked Mr. Scrimgeour about my background, you wouldn't have come up with such a foolish conjecture."
George sized up the chubby middle-aged witch dressed in pink, making a rough guess of her identity and speaking in an extremely unfriendly tone:
"And what's so difficult about inventing new spells? I invented the flying spell in first year, and now I've come up with a spell that can kill Dementors—what's there to be surprised about?"
Don't compare your useless pig brain with mine, a magical prodigy."
With a clean white pair of wings spread out behind her, George surrounded by the golden light emanating from the Field of Light beside her, looked like a holy deity.
Not only did the surrounding junior witches gaze at her with a dazed look, but even the Death Eaters seemed to be somewhat entranced.
At this moment, George is no longer the George from first year. His strength doesn't require him to go around pretending to be someone else.
You should be arrogant when you should be, and there's no need to suffer the whims of others.
Not just a mere Umbridge, even Dumbledore, he no longer needs to be so careful.
The key is that he said these spells were all his own inventions, none could dispute him because these spells were not magic from this world, only he could do them.
"You, you..."
Hearing George, a second-year witch, dare to speak to him like this, as the Deputy Minister for Magic, Umbridge was so angry her hair seemed to be smoking.
Seeing Umbridge being put down by Scrimgeour, he felt delighted.
In his heart, he looked down upon Umbridge, who had risen to the position of Deputy Minister through flattery and bribery rather than true skill or competence.
"Since it was an accident, let's just let it go. Rest well, the train will be leaving soon, and we'll be at Hogsmeade Station in less than an hour."
"No, this kid has killed a Dementor."
Umridge would not give in so easily, but before she could finish speaking, Scrimgeour interrupted her.
"Deputy Minister, you must understand that we haven't found Sirius Black."
For the matter of stopping the Hogwarts Express without permission and allowing Dementors to search the train, the Minister needs to personally apologize to Dumbledore.
"If you continue to trouble this student, it will be even more difficult for the Minister."
Without Dumbledore's permission, to send Dementors to search the Hogwarts Express is one thing; if they had found Sirius Black, there would be no argument. But since they found nothing, it's an awkward situation.
Not only Dumbledore but also the parents of these students will surely cause trouble once they find out about this.
At this point, pushing Dumbledore's limits any further would certainly be something the Minister doesn't want to see.
Dumbledore's influence in the magical world is not something to be taken lightly.
Moreover, since they didn't find Sirius Black on the Hogwarts Express, the plan for the next step is to send Dementors to guard all the entrances and exits of the school to prevent Sirius Black from entering.
Pissing off Dumbledore means he won't agree, making it difficult to carry out the following plan.
After realizing the seriousness of the situation, Umbridge stopped talking and, with a cold sniff, Apparated away.
Since we haven't reached the grounds of Hogwarts Castle yet, it is still possible to use the Patronus Charm.
"George, that's great to hear. Keep studying hard at Hogwarts and you will surely become a great wizard like Dumbledore."
Seeing Umbridge leave, Scrimgeour reached out and patted George on the shoulder.
He never thought that the kid who was adopted and abused by a Dark wizard could have such terrifying magical talent, and it had only been a year since he last saw him.
"I will strive!"
George folded his wings and nodded in agreement.
Scrimgeour retreated with the Aurors, and the train started up again, making George the focus of all the young witches and wizards.
For the next hour, a stream of young witches passed by George's room, stopping by as if by chance to glance inside.
Including other young witches who came over from other compartments after hearing the news.
At the same time, Harry, Ron, and Hermione, his friends, came to the room to find him and ask about the situation. He also found out that Harry had not been attacked by a Dementor.
He guessed that the Dementor hadn't yet found the room Harry was hiding in when it was drawn to him and then scared away.
Of course, this small change was of no importance to him.
The Hogwarts Express soon arrived at its destination. The first-year students continued their traditional boat ride to the castle, while they traveled by a carriage pulled by the Unicorn.
Upon arriving at the castle, they went straight to the Great Hall for the Sorting Ceremony, as usual. However, before dinner, Dumbledore spoke about a few things.
The most important thing was that Dementors would be stationed at all entrances and exits of the school until they caught Sirius Black, so Dumbledore warned the young witches not to provoke them.
The second thing was the introduction of the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, Remus John Lupin, and the new Care of Magical Creatures teacher, Rubeus Hagrid.
The party ended, and George was preparing to return to the Slytherin common room when he saw Professor McGonagall calling Hermione aside alone, and he was also called over by Snape.
"Madam Pince, what is it?"
George followed Snape to the stairs of the Great Hall, his mind racing with some guesses.
Snape did not keep it from him and said directly:
"It was Dumbledore who wanted to talk to you and learn more about what happened on the train."
"Oh, what about Hermione?"
George looked over at Hermione, who was being led over by Professor McGonagall, and a confused expression appeared on his face.
It shouldn't have been Hermione who was brought in for questioning about what happened on the train. Instead, it should have been Ginnie, Colin, and Luna. Hermione and George weren't even in the same room.
Snape glanced over at Hermione and replied:
"She's not going to the headmaster's office, it's just Professor McGonagall who needs to talk to her alone, which is good news. You don't need to worry."
With Snape's explanation, George immediately figured out that it was McGonagall who was going to give Hermione the Time-Turner.
The Time-Turner, the most broken magical artifact in this world, can reset time back up to five hours, created from the Time-Turner spell.
In the original book, Hermione and Harry used the Time-Turner to return to five hours ago and save the life of Sirius Black and Buckbeak.
He had read many books about time magic before.
But without exception, all the magical books had a key note that time magic was an extremely dangerous and unstable type of magic.
One wrong move and you could kill both your past and future selves, making yourself disappear completely from this world, or even affecting the descendants and other witches and wizards.
