Chapter 606: Come, Good Girl!!
"Come, good girl. Repeat what you said in my office. And tell usâwho exactly organized this?"
Umbridge shoved Marietta forward.
Then she added with a smile toward Fudge,
"Minister, her mother is Mrs. Edgecombe from the MinistryâMagical Transportation Department, Floo Network Office. She's been helping us monitor the Hogwarts fireplacesâŠ"
"Well then, with a mother, a wife, and a daughter to think of! Good girl, speak quickly!"
Fudge praised her while urging her on.
Marietta looked into Darren's eyes. Suddenly, she screamed and covered her eyes tightly with her hands.
"Hurry up! Hurry up and tell everyone what you said when you came into my office today!"
Umbridge shouted.
But Marietta only cried louder, burying her face in her robes.
Fudge frowned.
"Her faceâŠ"
"This young lady came into my office and told me she wanted to report somethingâsomething that would benefit me. She said there was a place called the Room of Requirement. And the moment she said that, the curse on her face activated. After that, she couldn't say another wordâŠ"
Umbridge said loudly.
Marietta let out another wail of pain.
Fudge said impatiently, "Can't you remove this curse?"
"We don't have the conditions for that at the momentâŠ"
Umbridge said in frustration. She couldn't even break Hermione's curse.
Still, she forced herself to continue,
"If she can't speak, then I'll speak for her. Minister, do you remember the incident I reported to you last OctoberâŠ"
She was referring to Harry and the others gathering at the Hog's Head. At the time, Dumbledore had argued that the decree hadn't yet taken effect and demanded proof that Darren had organized anything after that.
Umbridge pointed straight at Marietta.
She said viciously, "Child, if you did continue holding meetings, just nod your head. I don't think you're even capable of doing that, are you?"
Harry's heart leapt into his throat.
He saw Darren close his eyes in frustration.
Harry was already preparing himselfâif Darren was expelled, he wouldn't let him end up on the streets no matter what.
Then he heard a strange sound. It seemed like Fawkes's cry.
Everyone looked on.
Fudge stared at Marietta.
"You tell usâdid those later gatherings still exist?"
Marietta's gaze went blank.
She whispered,
"No⊠we never held that kind of gathering again."
Harry saw Darren's eyes fly open in shock.
It seemed even Marietta herself hadn't expected to say that.
Darren, however, appeared to believe that she had spoken out of conscience. He even gave her a gentle, reassuring smile.
Harry smiled helplessly.
Pure Darren.
He was just about to warn himâ
When Umbridge suddenly grabbed Marietta and shook her violently.
Darren angrily flicked his wand, blasting Umbridge away.
"What are you doing?" he snapped. "Bullying an unarmed girl just because she spoke in our favor?"
Umbridge opened her mouth to retort.
But when she saw Darren raise his wand again, she subconsciously staggered back in fear.
Even the Aurors present fell silent.
"Well, Dolores, I think we still have other evidence. As long as we can prove they were gathering here tonight!"
Fudge said briskly.
Umbridge immediately looked startledâthen her face twisted into a look of glee.
She pulled a piece of parchment from her pocket and handed it to Fudge.
"I asked Mr. Filch to check for anything missing," she said smugly. "And he found this."
"Just this listânames includedâshould be enough to send someone to Azkaban!"
Fudge took the parchment.
He grinned broadly and passed it to Dumbledore.
"D.A. ⊠Dumbledore's ArmyâŠ"
Darren immediately said, "It's Darren's Army. It's my army. It has nothing to do with Headmaster Dumbledore!"
Dumbledore laughed.
He patted Darren on the shoulder.
"Don't be afraid."
Then he looked at Fudge.
"That's right. Dumbledore's Armyâit's my army."
Fudge's eyes lit up.
He turned to Kingsley and Dawlish beside him and exclaimed,
"You hear that? He admitted it! Take him to Azkaban!"
The man called Dawlish quietly reached for his wand.
Dumbledore scoffed.
"Dawlish, you're a fine Auror. Do you really think you can catch me?"
"And do you think you can handle all of usâme, Dolores, Kingsley, and Dawlish?"
Fudge sneered.
Darren stepped in front of Dumbledore.
He said softly but firmly,
"Then there's still me."
"Enough!"
Fudge shouted.
A flash of silver light erupted.
Darren stunned Fudge.
Then he dashed in front of Harry, knocking him aside, and another jet of red light struck Umbridge.
Umbridge collapsed. Dumbledore had already dealt with Dawlish.
Darren looked toward Marietta.
She was being escorted by Professor McGonagall, her expression still dazed and confused.
Darren hesitated.
"Didn't she⊠speak out of conscience?"
"How could she possibly do that?" Kingsley said, walking over with admiration in his eyes. "I modified her memory. Good boyâyou were incredible."
Dumbledore laughed.
Grinning as if he were praising himself, he said cheerfully,
"Powerful, yesâbut far too trusting. You really believed someone would suddenly confess out of conscience. This child⊠I worry that one day he'll die because he trusted others too much."
Dumbledore continued, then turned to Kingsley.
"Looks like I'll need to give you a little spell as well."
Kingsley resisted a few timesâthen collapsed to the ground.
Dumbledore went on,
"In a moment, you'll all pretend to be unconscious. I'll also need to adjust their memories."
"They can't remember that Darren was involved. He still needs to stay at Hogwarts. I, on the other hand, will have to leave the schoolâbut don't worry. They'll beg me to come back eventually."
"I won't be idle while I'm gone. I'll simply find a reason to leave."
"Take care. Be careful."
Dumbledore hugged Darren.
Then he looked at Harry.
"Harry, you must learn Occlumency as soon as possible. I know you're still having nightmaresâyou need to control yourself."
"And also, I've known for a long time that you were holding D.A. meetings. After all, Darren and I practiced Occlumency together for quite some time."
Harry nodded.
At that moment, he felt his scar flare with sharp pain.
Something was trying to reach Dumbledore.
He finally understood why Dumbledore hadn't hugged himâŠ
