Harry doesn't want to be a wizard, he wants to be a superhero

Before long, Dumbledore emerged from Hogwarts Castle.

He first made eye contact with Harry, and after Harry nodded to confirm that the plan was correct, he then walked up to the group of professors and confronted the Ministry of Magic officials:

“I understand why you all came here. Why don’t we find a place to talk privately? You don’t want to disturb these young wizards, do you?”

The Ministry of Magic officials, who had no junior wizards attending Hogwarts regardless of family background, were about to refuse, but Lucius readily agreed:

“Alright, then Headmaster Dumbledore, why don’t we choose a location and go there to discuss this in detail?”

Dumbledore asked, "How about the Quidditch pitch?"

Just as Lucius was about to agree, a Ministry of Magic official beside him loudly retorted:
"No, we absolutely cannot choose the Quidditch pitch."

Other Ministry of Magic officials echoed, "That's right, we absolutely cannot choose the Quidditch pitch."

Lucius glanced around and was astonished to find that the people who had just vehemently argued with him were the same officials who had gone to Hogwarts with him and former Minister of Magic Fudge to question Dumbledore.

Because of them, Malfoy was reminded of their miserable experience when they last came to Hogwarts.

Last time, Dumbledore didn't even have to lift a finger; Harry Potter defeated them all by himself.

Following this incident, numerous Ministry of Magic officials held a meeting at the Ministry and concluded that it was highly likely that some kind of magic had been solidified on the Quidditch pitch, greatly amplifying Harry Potter's power.

Therefore, they never wanted to talk at the Quidditch pitch again.

Of all the people, only Malfoy knew that there was no solidification magic on the Quidditch pitch, and Harry had not received any enhancements.

That was entirely due to his own power. Whether these Ministry of Magic officials believed it or not, Harry Potter could defeat more than a dozen Ministry of Magic officials all by himself.

Ultimately, after discussions between the Ministry of Magic and Hogwarts, they decided to hold their talks in the Forbidden Forest.

The young wizards nearby overheard their words and expressed their dissatisfaction. They also wanted to know how things were progressing and didn't want to be completely ignorant.

But despite the possibility of these young wizards achieving great things in the future, they are currently the most vulnerable group in the entire wizarding world because they have no power and no voice.

The professors, senior students, and officials from the Ministry of Magic arrived together at a clearing in the Forbidden Forest.

Lucius said calmly, "Headmaster Dumbledore, I have fulfilled your request. Now, shouldn't you and Harry Potter surrender and go to the Ministry of Magic for trial?"

Professor Flitwick gripped his wand tightly and shouted, "No way! We're not going to let you take Headmaster Dumbledore and Mr. Potter away!"

Professor Snape's face darkened, and he gripped his wand tightly, an action that revealed his attitude.

Suddenly, a sharp, piercing voice rang out in the classroom: "Hogwarts professors, you have all been deceived by Harry Potter."

Umbridge stepped out of the crowd with a smug look on her face, stood in the open space between the two opposing sides, and stared at Harry with a vicious glare, saying triumphantly:
"During the months I taught at Hogwarts, I carefully researched various materials about Harry Potter."

Guess what I found out? Harry Potter secretly contacted those filthy Squibs, borrowing magic from demons with evil magic to give them spellcasting abilities they shouldn't have.

Not only that, he was also secretly practicing ancient magic, which is an evil form of magic banned by the Ministry of Magic worldwide.

I even heard from inside sources that the kidnapped Ministry of Magic officials were all ordered by Harry and his men to do so.

Any one of these sins could condemn Harry Potter to his death in Azkaban; we absolutely cannot let him go.

These words caused an uproar at both the Ministry of Magic and Hogwarts.

Needless to say, after hearing about these sins, the Ministry of Magic looked at Harry with the same eyes they would give a third Dark Lord, their eyes filled with apprehension and fear.

Even the professors and young wizards at Hogwarts were shocked, though for reasons different from those of the Ministry of Magic.

They were shocked because Harry had kept so many things from them.

Dude, you should have told me in advance so we could have worked together and covered it up. It would have been too passive if it had been exposed all of a sudden.

Given the professors' various reactions, Umbridge immediately knew that Harry had done something that even the professors didn't know.

She grew increasingly smug, and the hatred in her eyes as she looked at Harry became even more pronounced.
"Harry Potter, you should have known this day would come when you showed me no respect during your Defense Against the Dark Arts class."

Your crimes are unforgivable; you'll spend the rest of your life in Azka Bay.

Professor McGonagall frowned slightly and retorted:

"Where is the evidence? If you have no evidence, you are slandering Mr. Potter, and we will not allow Mr. Potter to be taken away by you."

What Harry did was serious, but not fatal.

Many professors knew about the matter of helping the Squirt regain its spellcasting ability and considered it a good thing.

Even studying ancient magic isn't a big deal. The reason ancient magic is dangerous is because its power is too great, and it might be exploited by people with ulterior motives.

Furthermore, ancient magic is extremely prone to getting out of control, and if it does, it can cause major disasters.

But all the professors believed that Harry was perfectly capable of wielding and utilizing ancient magic without having to do anything wrong.

The only difficult case is the kidnapping of members of the Ministry of Magic. If this charge is confirmed, many professors will be speechless.

But how could Umbridge possibly produce any evidence?
The most damaging news, in particular, about Harry Potter kidnapping Ministry of Magic officials, was something Umbridge heard from rumors, and even she herself didn't believe Harry Potter would be so audacious.

But Umbridge remained unperturbed, since the Ministry of Magic had regulations allowing them to temporarily detain suspects for up to a week.

If she operates properly during this week, whether it's using truth serum or torture, she can convict Harry Potter.

So she said to Lucius, "Minister Malfoy, Harry Potter is now a suspect, and we should detain him at the Ministry of Magic for a week to prevent him from escaping."

Even if he's truly innocent, we can release him after a week; it's a win-win situation.

Lucius's eyes darted around halfway, and the snake head carving on his cane tapped lightly against his palm.

He glanced at Harry, who was being protected by the professors, and the usual contemptuous smile on his lips deepened. "Professor Umbridge is right." His voice was icy. "The Ministry of Magic's regulations are not just for show. Temporary detention is a necessary procedure for suspects involved in kidnapping officials or colluding with rebels."

He took half a step forward, his black robe sweeping across the dew-kissed grass:
“Dumbledore, and you, Potter, instead of wasting time arguing here, come with us.”

A week from now, the Ministry of Magic's hearing will give you a chance to 'clear your name,' provided you can truly prove your innocence.

Professor McGonagall was about to retort when Lucius raised his hand to interrupt her, his eyes suddenly sharpening:

“Minerva, don’t forget your current position. Obstructing the Ministry of Magic from carrying out its duties is not something a Hogwarts professor should do.”

Bring them here quietly, lest you frighten the esteemed Headmaster Dumbledore and the savior Harry Potter.

Umbridge stood to the side with a fawning smile, his large fingers clenching his handkerchief tightly.
"Minister Malfoy's consideration is too thorough. This approach complies with the regulations and allows the matter to be resolved as quickly as possible. It couldn't be more appropriate."

Lucius ignored her flattery and simply gestured to Harry and Dumbledore again with his wand:
“Mr. Potter, Headmaster Dumbledore, I think we should get going. You don’t want to be without magic when Voldemort returns, do you?”

Professor McGonagall hesitated, but at that moment he really didn't know how to refute Lucius.

Dumbledore patted Professor McGonagall on the shoulder to signal her to relax, then walked toward Lucius.

Dumbledore had already surrendered, and all eyes were on Harry.

To be honest, the Ministry of Magic officials were more nervous when facing Harry than when facing Dumbledore.

It's not just because of Harry's great strength, but also because Harry is a young man.

Because they are young, they are arrogant and passionate, and they often do some extreme things on impulse.

If Harry doesn't surrender, the Ministry of Magic might clash with Hogwarts, something neither side wants.

But Harry ultimately did not choose a lose-lose approach. Like Dumbledore, he stepped forward and surrendered to the Ministry of Magic members.

The professors and wizards of Hogwarts watched with complicated expressions as Harry and Dumbledore were led away by Ministry of Magic officials, and the atmosphere fell silent.

Professor McGonagall was even more so; she was somewhat angry and couldn't understand why the Ministry of Magic had become like this.

Why would Voldemort, who was wreaking havoc outside, engage in internal strife with Hogwarts?
Hermione was a perceptive girl, and she keenly sensed Professor McGonagall's sadness, so she secretly tugged at her sleeve.

When Professor McGonagall turned around, she looked around and, seeing that no one was paying attention, whispered:

“Professor McGonagall, don’t worry too much about Harry and Professor Dumbledore. Everything is still in the planning stages.”

Upon hearing Hermione's words, Professor McGonagall paused, then looked thoughtful.

It seems that Harry and Dumbledore are playing a long game, so why didn't they tell him?

Could it be that you're afraid I won't agree?
Professor McGonagall was clearly aware of her own rigidity; it seemed that Harry and Dumbledore had done something rather extreme, which was why she had kept it a secret.

However, she didn't care that Harry and Dumbledore were hiding things from her; she was more concerned about whether her students and friends were safe and well.

………………

Suddenly, the fireplace in the center of the Ministry of Magic's hall burst into a ghostly green flame, and sparks flew towards the high dome like startled moths, casting distorted shadows on the cold marble floor.

Lucius Malfoy's black robes landed before the flames, and behind him, the Aurors escorted Harry and Dumbledore out of the embers of the fireplace, their boots crunching over the lingering embers.

Harry's wrists were twisted behind his back as Umbridge pushed him forward.

Behind him, Dumbledore received the same treatment; both of their wands had already been confiscated, and in the eyes of these Ministry of Magic officials, they had no power to resist and could only let them do as they pleased.

A moment later, Lucius stopped beside an iron door with a serpentine knocker. He tapped the eye of the knocker with his wand, and the heavy metal door made a dull creak as gears turned, like a giant beast yawning.

The solitary confinement cell was smaller than I had imagined, with walls made of obsidian that gleamed with a cold light, and even the air felt unbearably dry.

The only light source came from a magic lamp embedded in the center of the ceiling, but the light was weak, making the cell very dark.

After the Ministry of Magic officials imprisoned Harry and Dumbledore, they all left.

Harry and Dumbledore had been in the cell for over an hour when the locks on the iron doors began to turn with a screeching sound. Umbridge was the first to enter the cell.
Behind her, Lucius stood with his arms crossed against the wall, his eyes filled with amusement, ready to see what would happen next.

“Oh, look who’s here.” Umbridge’s voice was like honey-soaked sandpaper, sticky and rough.

She walked up to Harry, deliberately straightening her back. Although she was only up to Harry's shoulder, she tilted her chin up so that the tip of her nose almost touched Harry's chest.

“Mr. Potter, do you remember how you treated me in the Hogwarts classroom?” She suddenly raised her voice, waving her large hand in the air. “Back then, you probably thought that with Dumbledore protecting you and those foolish professors fawning over you, you could boss me around?”

Harry didn't answer, he just remained silent, his gaze fixed on Umbridge like a still, deep pool.

Umbridge thought Harry was scared, and she was pleased by the silence:
"And now? Your wand is gone, your protector is locked up next to you, and you're trapped in this cage, unable to even see the sunlight."

This is what happens when you disrespect your teacher, Potter, but don't worry, I'm always fair.

For the next seven days, I will treat you well. For example, we can talk about the secrets you and Dumbledore have been hiding.

Enjoy it, Potter. After all, not everyone has the chance to be personally looked after by the Deputy Minister of Magic.

"Are you done?" Harry suddenly smiled coldly and said sarcastically, "Lucius, I have no interest in watching this ugly old woman make a scene here. Our plan is about to begin. Let's lock this old woman in this cage and let her enjoy herself!"

Upon hearing Harry's words, Umbridge froze, a strong sense of foreboding washing over her.

What made her even more uneasy was that Lucius, the Minister of Magic, not only didn't reprimand Harry for his impoliteness, but instead bowed slightly and nodded, saying:

"Yes, Mr. Potter!"

Umbridge was completely stunned! (End of Chapter)
