Having sent away Harry, Dumbledore turned around to see Lucas reappearing on the couch.
"It appears that Harry is in contact with Voldemort more and more frequently."
"Headmaster, did you see Mr Potter's eyes just now?"
Dumbledore nodded solemnly: "Although those snake eyes appeared for just a moment, they still didn't escape my eyes."
"I think it's better to inform the members of the Order of the Phoenix to take turns guarding the gate of the Department of Mysteries. Whether Voldemort has noticed the connection with Potter will be known soon."
Dumbledore agreed with Lucas's proposal very much, so he immediately wrote a letter and handed it to his Phoenix, Fawkes.
With a flash of fire, Fawkes disappeared from the sycamore wood perch.
"A friendly reminder, you'd better prepare some portkeys leading to the Prewett family home."
Watching the back of Lucas leaving, Dumbledore frowned, not understanding why he said this suddenly.
…
Time flies, this year's Quidditch cup is coming as scheduled.
A whole year has passed and the students have long wanted to compete and watch it.
The first match of the year will be Slytherin vs. Gryffindor.
It can be said that the meeting of two enemies is full of highlights, but Lucas did not go to watch the game because he was very confident that Slytherin would win.
The "Weasley is Our King" song did not appear this time because Lucas didn't want the attention of the whole school to be on Slytherin House again.
The result was no surprise and the Slytherins were victorious.
Although the Golden Snitch was finally caught by Harry Potter, Ronald Weasley was like a colander.
The Slytherin chasers managed to score 18 Quaffles before Harry caught the Snitch.
If Harry hadn't stopped the loss in time to end the game, the score might have continued to expand.
At the end of the game, Ron blamed himself for the loss.
Just when Harry was thinking about how to comfort his friend he happened to meet professors Umbridge and McGonagall.
The Toad said in her annoying voice: "Although I didn't agree with Gryffindor House to form a Quidditch team, I didn't expect you to go directly to the headmaster in the end."
"Forget it, since it has been established, I won't bother with it anymore, but please take a look at the latest education decree."
McGonagall took the parchment from Umbridge's hand and saw that it said: "Education Decree No. 25."
"Another one?" Professor McGonagall's tone was slightly exasperated but her eyes continued to look down.
"The High Inquisitor will henceforth have supreme authority over all punishments, sanctions and deprivation of rights involving Hogwarts students."
"And have the right to modify such punishments, sanctions and deprivation of rights made by other faculty members."
At the bottom of the parchment was the signature of Minister of Magic Pius Thicknesse.
"How could Pius..."
Umbridge proudly retrieved the parchment.
"I am now suspending Harry Potter because I have received information that he has violated the Educational Decree No. 24."
"There is reliable news that he secretly formed a group and is training them in secret. Until this news is verified, he will not be able to participate in the following Quidditch matches."
"Banned?!!!" Harry couldn't help but let out an exclamation.
The two professors looked towards the foyer, where Harry and Ronald were standing.
Umbridge said proudly: "That's right, it's a suspension."
Then she grinned and turned to walk away.
Harry knew that she was coming for him, so after being suspended, he devoted more energy to the training of the D.A.
Umbridge had expected the other side to give in, but unexpectedly, he did the opposite.
After chasing and trying to intercept them again and again, she was always unable to catch the members of the D.A, which made her more and more irritable.
She asked Draco for help several times, but was also cleverly rejected by the other party.
Harry found joy in the battle of wits with Umbridge and fought with great joy every day.
Time went by like this for weeks.
During this period of time, more and more education decrees were promulgated.
Umbridge also became the most annoying professor Hogwarts has ever seen.
She couldn't take it anymore after not being able to get hold of Harry Potter for so long, so she took the initiative to meet Lucas.
When Draco sent the news back, the corners of Lucas' lips rose slightly.
The pink toad finally took the bait.
Knock nock nock~
In the evening, Lucas knocked on the door of the Defense Against the Dark Arts office.
Getting the reply from inside, he pushed open the door and walked inside.
Umbridge's office was full of pink, with plates with magical images of cats adorning the walls.
"Mr. Grindelwald, please sit down."
"I don't know why Professor Umbridge asked me to come. We seem to have been in peace recently, right?"
"Of course, I had some misunderstandings about Mr. Grindelwald in the past. I called you here today to resolve this misunderstanding."
Lucas said with a smile: "I am here for this purpose as well."
"As a Slytherin, you and I actually understand that only when we cooperate will it be beneficial to both parties, don't we?"
Umbridge nodded yes, but didn't think the same in her mind.
It is true that if she is only the Senior Undersecretary of the Ministry of Magic, there is no harm in cooperating with Lucas, but unfortunately, she has another identity.
The task of her other identity is to worsen the relationship between Lucas and the Ministry of Magic.
However, it is not impossible to temporarily use Lucas to deal with Harry Potter.
"I heard that Mr. Grindelwald is also planning to form a study group?"
"That's right. In my spare time, I want to organize students to read texts in the common room to pass the boring time."
"I see." Umbridge nodded and said, "If it's just reading, I can't think of any reason to reject you children who love to learn."
Lucas smiled and put the application form of the study group in front of her.
When he saw Umbridge put her signature on it, Lucas immediately said: "Tomorrow morning, Draco and others will come to you to report, maybe you can ask them to set up a team to check those students who have poor discipline."
"It's a good idea. It seems that we hit it off very well, Mr. Grindelwald."
The two hands shook lightly.
The two smiling people were calculating each other in their hearts.
…
As the days kept passing. Under the instruction of Lucas, Draco and others showed a positive attitude.
But every time, they were just a little late to catch Harry's D.A.
This annoyed Umbridge but there was nothing she could do about it.
On this day, another meeting of the study group came.
In the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets, everyone was practicing Sectumsempra against the wooden humanoid target...
The practice of the Killing Curse came to an end last month.
Even if some don't have enough power to use the Killing Curse at full power, at least they can cast it successfully.
For them being able to do this, Lucas was already very satisfied.
So the second spell he taught everyone was the dark cutting curse invented by Professor Snape.
This spell does not need to be backed by powerful magic, and the casting action is equally simple, while its power is not bad either.
If it hits a vital part, it is also a one-hit kill.
The time slowly came to 11 o'clock in the night, so Lucas stopped everyone who was practicing: "This is the last group activity this semester, and the next activity will be after the Christmas holidays. I hope you all have a pleasant holiday."
Waiting until everyone left, Lucas looked over to the Weasley twins who were left behind.
"How about the alchemy I taught you?"
The two looked at each other, drew two alchemy circles on the ground, and then put a damaged humanoid target into each of them and after activating them a red light bloomed.
The damaged humanoid targets were restored to their original state.
Lucas drew out his wand and said to the target, "expelliarmus!"
The magic spell was completely absorbed when it hit the target.
Not long after, the wand in the human target's hand also shot a disarming charm.
"Elementary alchemy object, not bad!"
After months of practice, the twins' alchemy studies have finally paid off.
Lucas taught alchemy to the two of them. It is also because he hoped that the two could use alchemy to create more weird and effective alchemy props.
He'd always thought that alchemy would suit the Weasley twins.
Being complimented by Lucas, the twins looked at each other and smiled.
"Thanks to the teaching of the boss."
"When our store opens, we will definitely give you a surprise."
Lucas doesn't care about surprises, he only hoped that the two of them would become proficient in alchemy as soon as possible.
Whether it is for themselves or for the future war, it can help.
…
Harry lying on the bed fell into a magical dream again.
Having learned the exact reason why this happened from Dumbledore, he was no longer afraid, and even felt that it was very good for him to probe Voldemort's secrets like this now.
This time the angle of view was still very low, and his body was still soft and icy cold.
After experiencing it many times, Harry probably guessed what perspective he was in.
A snake!
He was now a snake.
Harry tried to keep his eyes open and found himself in a dark corridor.
And at the end of the corridor, there was a person sitting in front of a door and sleeping.
That person looked familiar to Harry, but because it was too dim, he didn't recognize who it was.
As his vision got closer, Harry found himself next to the man.
At this moment, the man was suddenly awakened and the silver blanket slid from him.
Harry's eyes widened, no wonder the person looked so familiar, it was actually Ron's father, Arthur Weasley.
Before he recovered from his surprise, he found that the snake he had turned into bit Mr Weasley's arm.
"No!"
Harry screamed and sat up on the bed, which awakened Ron, who saw Harry clutching his forehead, so he hurried to his bedside.
