Umbridge attached great importance to the information "pried" from the mouths of Harry and Ron, and reported the "good news" as soon as possible, which was highly praised by Fudge.

However, it is quite difficult to nip the danger in the bud.

Fudge couldn't possibly ask the Ministry of Magic's elite Aurors to go to the Forbidden Forest to exterminate the Acromantulas. Even if he really dared to issue an order to exterminate the Acromantulas, the Aurors would not be able to accept it. In a ghostly place like the Forbidden Forest,

Those Acromantulas are even more dangerous than dark wizards, and even the most elite Aurors may lose their lives.

Therefore, catching Fred and George and prying them into the secret base of the Order of the Phoenix is ​​the best solution at present, which is more reliable than destroying the Acromantula's nest.

Umbridge was therefore appointed by Fudge to handle the matter with full authority.

"What if Albert Anderson steps in to stop it?"

Before leaving, Umbridge did not forget to mention her worries.

"After all, Anderson and Weasley are very good friends. I suspect that Weasley's actions are supported by him. As we all know, the Weasley family is not rich."

Although there was no evidence, Umbridge's intuition from many years of work told her that Anderson was suspicious and might be secretly doing something behind the scenes.

"If that guy tries to prevent you from capturing Weasley, then arrest him too. I believe that spending a few months in Azkaban Prison will allow his smart mind to completely calm down." Fudge said coldly,

He would never tolerate someone trying to oust him.

No one can!

"I will take care of it." Umbridge returned to Hogwarts in a happy mood.

Such a good mood did not last long, because the plan to capture Fred and George did not go as smoothly as expected. Even the twins were not seen. On the contrary, the anti-toad movement became more and more powerful.

With the Marauder's Map, Fred and George could easily evade capture and play with Umbridge's group in the palm of their hands.

The unlucky Filch became one of the special targets of the Anti-Toad League because he had taken refuge with the toad. He had to go to the school hospital every day, and it almost became his new home.

"Damn it, damn it."

At this moment, in the Defense Against the Dark Arts office, a furious Umbridge was breaking things to vent her anger.

It was really hard for Umbridge to imagine that she was unexpectedly attacked by those despicable and shameless people. When she woke up, she found herself covered in a layer of smelly mud, squatting like a toad on the platform of the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom.

On the blackboard behind it are the propaganda slogans of the Anti-Toad Alliance and the symbol of Umbridge's toad spitting out snakes.

What made Umbridge most angry was that she stood in that position on the podium for an entire class, but no one helped her remove the binding spell from beginning to end.

"Madam, I'm afraid we have to find another way." Filch said in a depressed tone: "We can't catch those two little beasts with ordinary methods."

The administrator had given up on catching Fred and George through conventional means. Just a few days ago, he encountered Fred and George wandering around late at night. Not only did the two beasts use a spell to lock them in their original place,

The ground was wet and his clothes got wet, causing Filch to catch a severe cold.

"You're right, we have to find other ways." Umbridge was also tired of this cat-and-mouse game.

She found that the methods used to deal with students could not deal with the Weasley brothers, and they should be regarded as the most vicious dark wizards.

Yes, in Umbridge's eyes, Fred and George are more hateful than the dark wizards.

Because they are trying to overthrow the Ministry of Magic.

However, there is nothing Umbridge can do for the time being.

At this moment, there was a rapid knock on the door outside.

"Come in."

Umbridge calmed down her emotions and put on her fake smile again.

"Principal Umbridge, someone is spreading unfavorable rumors about you in the castle." Malfoy said straight to the point the latest news he had just heard.

"What rumors?" Umbridge had a bad feeling.

"Many people are spreading rumors that Fred and George will return to school next month with a secret weapon...and while driving you away from school, they will send you to Azkaban." Malfoy said from other students.

After hearing about this incident, he immediately came to inform Umbridge.

"I will not let their conspiracy succeed." Umbridge gritted her teeth and said, "Absolutely not."

"By the way, it seems that someone threw a few gas bombs into Mr. Administrator's office. You can smell the stench when you pass by." Malfoy glanced at Filch and continued, "There is also a cat hanging in the office.

On the wooden door, this should be a good thing done by that group of people."

"Damn, my cat."

Filch immediately realized something and rushed out of the office.

Looking at Filch's leaving figure, Umbridge frowned slightly.

"Headmaster Umbridge, you seem to be in trouble." Malfoy asked knowingly.

"Mr. Malfoy, if it were you, is there any good way to catch the little beast of the Weasley family?" Umbridge looked at the young Malfoy in front of her. She had some friendship with Lucius Malfoy.

.

"It is said that they know the secret passages of the Ministry of Magic better than anyone else. It is not easy to catch them using ordinary methods." Malfoy raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he was seriously thinking about the so-called method, "Perhaps, we can start with resistance.

Organize the plan. Harry Potter is undoubtedly one of the masterminds of this conspiracy. He can try to arrest them and claim that they are the creators of these conspiracies, forcing the Weasley twins to show up."

Forcing the Weasley twins to appear?

Of course not.

Malfoy just wanted to blame Harry Potter so that Umbridge could find an excuse to expel Harry Potter from Hogwarts.

"However, even if the Weasley brothers appear to bear all the charges, it will not be easy to catch them." Malfoy did not forget to remind him.

Although they are reluctant to admit it, Fred and George's duel level is indeed much higher than that of the members of the investigation team.

Two days ago, most of the members of the investigation team were attacked by Fred and George and were admitted to the school hospital.

Just as Umbridge and Malfoy were discussing the feasibility of the plan, there was suddenly a rush of footsteps in the corridor outside, and Filch burst into the office holding the stiff cat.

"Madam, please save my cat!"

Mrs. Norris was petrified again, her body as stiff as a stone.

Umbridge looked at the cat on the table and frowned slightly. Finally, under Filch's expectant gaze, she pretended to try a few ways to break the curse. After confirming that it had no effect, she could only take Filch with her.

Go find Snape.

No matter what, Filch is the only helper Umbridge can win over at Hogwarts, and she will never give up on him easily.

"A very powerful petrification magic."

Snape poked the cat on the table lightly with his finger and gave his judgment.

"Can it be cured?" Umbridge asked directly.

"It should work."

"should?"

"If the method to break the curse doesn't work, you can only try to use mandrake to brew a potion to break the spell." Snape picked up the wand and tried to break the curse on Mrs. Norris.

He tried several ways to break the curse and found that one of them worked, but the effect was very poor.

After using it several times, the cat on the table finally broke free from the petrification magic and recovered.

"thanks, thanks."

Filch held Mrs. Norris in his arms and kept thanking Snape.

"It must be those two little beasts." Umbridge said through gritted teeth.

"It is difficult for Hogwarts students to master such advanced dark magic." Snape did not agree with Umbridge's words.

At least, he didn't think Fred and George could do that.

"There is someone who can definitely do it," Umbridge said firmly.

"You mean Anderson?"

Snape raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Umbridge. He felt that the guy in front of him was trying to cause trouble.

"Yes, that's him."

"Anderson does have such ability, but the probability of him doing that is actually not high." Snape shook his head, feeling that Umbridge was completely running towards death.

Although Albert was easy to get along with, in fact, it was just an appearance. He was a very vindictive guy. Although Snape didn't like Albert, he never denied his abilities.

"Why?" Umbridge asked suspiciously.

"Because Anderson is not an idiot." Snape said directly. "A smart guy like that would never do something stupid where you can guess who did it at a glance. If he really wants to do something, you can't find him."

It’s time for the cat.”

Umbridge was speechless and took the initiative to change the subject, "I hope you can brew the veritaserum as soon as possible. I will need it soon."

"You have to wait at least another half month, unless you want to poison the user." Snape felt that Umbridge really wanted to cause trouble. He frowned and reminded: "There is one more thing I have to remind you.

You, Veritaserum actually has an antidote, and with Anderson’s level of medicine, it’s not difficult to brew the antidote to Veritaserum.”

From the very beginning, Snape had no intention of giving Umbridge the real Veritaserum, so here is a reminder.

Veritaserum not working?

That was naturally the antidote to the other party's use of truth serum.
