A magical journey that begins at Hogwarts

Aaron nodded in satisfaction as he watched the students training below from the podium. Besides a sense of accomplishment, he felt mostly relaxed.

During this period, he taught everything he needed to, and all that's left is to train hard.

He directly assigned the task of supervising training to Harry Potter, a job he didn't want to do, but Harry enjoyed it immensely.

Suddenly, he felt a burning sensation in his pocket, and his brows furrowed.

"Stop training! Stop all training!" Aaron shouted with a megaphone spell, his expression becoming extremely serious.

More than thirty students stopped what they were doing and looked at Aaron with puzzlement.

"Something has happened, and I have to announce that DA will be officially suspended today."

"What happened?" Fred and George asked.

"It's a pity, but there was a traitor among us."

After he finished speaking, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

They had been training at the Room of Requirement for almost half a year without any problems. The word "traitor" came too suddenly and caught them off guard.

"Where's Malfoy?" Ron searched around without any attempt to hide it. "Is he not here?"

I knew it must have been him who snitched, ever since Harry accused his father in The Quibbler…”

“Shut up, Weasley,” Draco said menacingly.

A look of embarrassment flashed across Ron's face. "You're here!"

"What? Did I disappoint you?"

“Uh… your presence here doesn’t prove you weren’t the one who tipped him off,” Ron said boldly, and many people’s gazes toward Draco turned hostile.

Although it may seem impolite, Malfoy is the most likely person to betray you in this classroom.

“It’s not him.” Hermione quietly tugged at Ron’s sleeve and whispered, “I’m sure it’s not him. I put a spell on that list.”

"There aren't any disgusting bubbles on my face, are there?" Draco sneered meaningfully.

“Your contract was a little incomplete,” Aaron said, then took the DA list out of his pocket. “So I added an extra layer of insurance.”

He unfolded the parchment, and a name shimmering with red light became particularly eye-catching.

"Who is Marietta Eckmore? Has she arrived?"

"It seems not." Qiu Zhang weakly raised her hand and said, "She is my friend, and her mother works for the Magical Transportation Department's Flyway Network Administration."

“That’s no excuse for her snitching!” Aaron sneered. “But Ron, shouldn’t you apologize to Draco?”

"Uh..." Ron blushed and hesitated for a while before reluctantly walking up to Draco and saying "I'm sorry" in a voice softer than a mosquito's buzz.

"Can you speak louder? I didn't hear anything."

"Don't push your luck, I've already apologized."

"Tch!" Draco scoffed, "I didn't feel a single bit of sincerity from him!"

“That’s enough,” Hermione said nervously. “We should leave here first.”

“No rush, there’s still some time,” Aaron said. “This list has just changed, which means she just told Umbridge DA about it. Even if she wanted to capture us, she would have to organize her forces.”

In other words, there is still enough time to evacuate; it's just that the Room of Requirement will be unusable afterward.

"I'm sorry, I was the one who dragged her in," Qiu Zhang said guiltily.

“It’s not your fault,” Harry immediately comforted her, feeling sorry for her.

Aaron gave him a disdainful look. Cedric is still alive and well, and their relationship hasn't ended. Your concern is a bit off.

Harry returned a look without any politeness, as if to say, "Do you even know what the value of first love, no, unrequited love for a goddess is?"

Aaron: ......

"Ahem! There's no point in saying all this."

Fortunately, I taught everything I needed to, so the Room of Requirement wasn't really necessary.

However, Miss Eckmore has been attending our classes for almost half a year now, and since she's a Ravenclaw, she must know everyone's name.

As soon as he finished speaking, fear appeared on everyone's faces.

They all overlooked this point: if Marietta had submitted the list, they would have been wiped out.

“Actually, there’s no need to worry too much,” Aaron said calmly. “If, unfortunately, Umbridge comes after one of you, the best thing to do is to deny it to the death.”

The DA is entirely fabricated by Marietta; we know nothing about it.

“Umbridge won’t believe it,” Lee said worriedly. “She’s very likely to use some terrible methods to force us to confess.”

“That’s true. Umbridge has never been one to back down.” Aaron said after a moment of thought. “If you really can’t hold on, then put up a token resistance and then reluctantly admit it.”

"Huh?" George and Fred exchanged a glance. "Is this really appropriate?"

“Of course it’s appropriate,” Aaron said seriously. “To confess directly is called ‘confess and seek leniency,’ while to resist and then confess is called ‘torture and forced confession.’”

If her punishment is too severe, we can certainly sue her.

"Uh... something feels off, but it seems to make sense," Angelina said with a strange expression. "It just feels like we're the ones cheating."

“That’s not how it works.” Harry agreed with Aaron’s strategy. “You can’t reason with someone like Umbridge, or we’ll be the ones who suffer.”

“I heard you.” Aaron shrugged. “Umbridge didn’t catch us red-handed. Our biggest advantage is that she has no evidence.”

Alright, everyone, you can leave now. It's best not to come here again until she's expelled from Hogwarts.

Also, when leaving, be natural and avoid going in large groups; it's best for people from different colleges to leave separately.

Chapter 480 The perfect scapegoat, like mother, like daughter

The members of DA took one last reluctant look at the Room of Requirement before leaving one by one.

Aaron showed no intention of leaving. He casually found a seat, sat down, and then focused his attention on the task panel.

Be a responsible and dedicated class leader (from now until the end of this semester);

The reward for completing the task is 1200 magic points; there is no penalty for failing the task. [Accepted]

[Teach students who wish to learn Defense Against the Dark Arts (fulfilling the duties of a teacher); 500 magic points reward for completion; Completed]

Upon seeing the completion of the second task, he suddenly felt an urge to cry.

After nearly half a year of hard work, it's finally time to reap the rewards. Although the effort and labor are not proportional, it's still a great comfort.

"receive."

"Congratulations, host, you have gained 500 magic points. You now have a total of 730 magic points, just enough for some spending." The system said somewhat ingratiatingly, "Mist Illusion Naraku only has 600 magic points, right?"

"Tsk!" Aaron clicked his tongue, saying with obvious disdain, "Can't you have any shame?"

"The system needs to be upgraded too!"

Preliminary estimates suggest the host needs to spend at least 12,000 more magic points to barely meet the upgrade requirements.

"Twelve thousand." Aaron gasped. "You really dare to dream, but you can forget about it for the next three years."

Before Voldemort dies, I'll put most of my magic points into mana. The software needs to be upgraded, but the hardware needs to keep up!

Therefore, all 730 magic points were added to mana.

system:......

Feeling the increase in magical energy, Aaron's lips curled up slightly, his sense of security increasing.

Crunch!

A dozen minutes later, the door to the House of Requirement suddenly opened.

Just as Aaron thought Umbridge was coming, Harry, his two friends rushed in.

"What a generous gift of crabs! What are you three doing back here?"

“I knew we’d left someone behind.” Hermione rolled her eyes at him. “You’re coming with us; you can’t stay here.”

“That probably won’t work. Since Marietta has decided to betray us, she’ll definitely sell us out completely.”

Umbridge knew the location, obtained the list, and prepared the manpower for the arrest. She would not give up if she came up empty-handed.

"So you're planning to stay behind by yourself?" Harry asked.

“Obviously,” Aaron said, both anxious and helpless. “Who told me to be the teacher? In other words, I’m the leader, so when necessary, I’m naturally the only one who can take the blame.”

“But the DA was an organization we proposed,” Hermione said with some self-reproach. “Even if you have to bear Umbridge’s wrath, it shouldn’t be you.”

"Come on! Even if she catches me, she might not be able to do anything to me, but if it were you, I don't need to remind you of the consequences!"

The three were speechless for a moment, and they had to admit that Aaron's words made a lot of sense.

Umbridge might consider his family background and put him in solitary confinement for a few days, but the other three are a different story. If they fall into her hands, they will most likely be expelled.

"Maybe things aren't that serious!" Ron said weakly.

"Do you believe that?" Aaron said speechlessly. "Or do you think Umbridge has any conscience at all?"

"this..."

"Alright, if there's nothing else, hurry up and leave. I won't be responsible if you get caught."

The three looked at each other, their hearts heavy, and walked outside.

But as soon as they reached the door, the whole room began to shake slightly.

boom! boom! boom!

The sound of the explosion grew clearer and clearer. Aaron seemed to realize something and immediately pulled them back.

"What's going on?" Ron asked nervously.

"What could have happened? An explosive spell blasted the door." Aaron said irritably, "You wouldn't leave when I told you to, and now it might not be so easy for you to leave."

"What should we do?" Hermione's face turned pale; she knew without even thinking who was outside the door.

The worst thing still happened; they were caught red-handed.

"Don't speak, don't make a sound," Aaron said very seriously, then cast a Disillusionment spell on them. "You can leave after she takes me away."

Just as the three people's bodies became transparent, the door was blown open completely.
