A magical journey that begins at Hogwarts

"Headmaster, did you get special training in changing your face?" Aaron said speechlessly. "Professor Snape asked me to do him a favor before, and the truth serum was only a small part of the reward."

"That's great, take it out quickly."

"Why should I take it out?"

"I am the principal."

"Even if you're the principal, you don't have the right to requisition students' private property!" Ya Lun said confidently. "Wouldn't it be bad if word got out?"

Umbridge's face turned pale and then purple. After a few seconds of silence, he pointed to the door and said, "Get out, both of you. Leave my office."

“Yes, Headmaster, we’ll be off now,” Professor Snape said sarcastically.

“Bigfoot.” Harry suddenly looked at Aaron. “Did you tell him about Bigfoot?”

“Of course, you can rest assured.” Aaron shrugged. “I’m not like those brain-dead Gryffindors. I’ll choose the optimal solution, the safest one.”

As for the difference... just compare your current situations and you'll see I'm right.

"Bigfoot? What bigfoot?" Umbridge felt he had grasped the key point. "What is he talking about?"

“I have no idea.” Professor Snape pursed his lips and slowly retreated outside the office.

Just as Aaron was about to leave, Umbridge quickly blocked the doorway, saying, "You can't leave."

"Headmaster," Professor Snape said coldly, "I don't recall any of my students violating school rules. Even if they did, it's my job as the Headmaster to decide on the punishment!"

Umbridge was startled by Snape's state, and her tone involuntarily softened, "Don't be nervous, Snape. I just have some questions I want to ask him."

Snape raised an eyebrow dismissively, one hand already resting on the end of his wand.

He knew perfectly well who Umbridge was: not very capable, but ambitious, and willing to do anything to achieve his goals.

What if something happens to Aaron if we leave him here?

"Professor, you should go ahead and do your work!" Aaron said confidently. "You should know my strength."

Upon hearing this, Snape realized that Umbridge might not actually be able to defeat him, and immediately put away his wand and left without looking back.

Snapped!

Umbridge quickly closed the door and then pulled Aaron to sit down in a chair.

"Tell me, who is Bigfoot?"

"Hmm..." Aaron pretended to ponder, "Professor, you need to think about it from a different perspective. What normal person would have the name Bigfoot?"

"Not human?" Umbridge asked skeptically. "Then what is it?"

"how could I know?"

“No, you’re lying to me, you must be lying to me. You just said you told him about Bigfoot.” Umbridge raised her hand indignantly and slapped Aaron across the face.

Snapped!

Aaron grabbed Umbridge's right wrist and held it in mid-air.

"Professor, I must say, you are quite strong."

Umbridge gritted her teeth, trying to pull her fat hand out, but no matter how hard she tried, her right hand seemed to be firmly clamped by steel, and she couldn't break free at all.

"Let go, I command you to let go."

Aaron smiled dismissively. "If you tell me to release him, I'll release him. Wouldn't that be incredibly humiliating?"

Umbridge immediately drew her wand with her left hand, "Strength..."

However, Aaron increased his strength when she was only halfway through her incantation.

Umbridge cried out in pain as an unhealthy purplish-red color appeared on her right hand. She bent over in pain, as if that would make her feel a little better.

"Professor, there will be consequences for attacking me."

I'm different from others; I'll fight back, no matter who you are.

"I know, I was wrong just now. Can you let go of my hand?" Umbridge pleaded humbly.

Everyone else stared in astonishment at the scene. Umbridge had given them a vivid lesson, the topic of which was bullying the weak and fearing the strong.

"Tch!" Aaron released his left hand in disgust. "You're smart enough to know what's good for you, otherwise I would have crushed your bones."

Umbridge glanced at him in alarm, took a few steps back, and carefully rubbed her right hand. When the pain subsided, she pointed her wand at Aaron again.

"What? You want to take action?" Aaron asked playfully. "Then I'll have to think about what kind of magic to use."

"Stop bluffing. Do you think I'll give you a chance to use your wand?" Umbridge took a deep breath. This time, she had created distance and firmly grasped the initiative. There was absolutely no way she would be caught off guard.

Once Aaron is captured, she can take revenge properly. As long as she can extract information related to Bigfoot through torture, she will have done nothing wrong, and even Fudge won't be able to say anything against her.

"Immediately imprison them."

A rope shot out from the wand, heading straight for Aaron.

However, the next moment a red light struck the rapidly extending rope, which instantly shattered into powder and dissipated in mid-air.

Umbridge swallowed hard as she watched Aaron cast the spell.

“The biggest advantage of casting spells without a staff is that it can lower your enemy’s guard,” Aaron said meaningfully. “Professor, would you like to have a fair duel with me?”

“A fair duel?” Umbridge laughed as if he had heard a funny joke. “This office is full of my men.”

"I almost forgot, when you ambushed Professor McGonagall last night, it was also because you outnumbered her."

"Good to know." Umbridge calmed down, but was not ashamed.

Although her methods last night were somewhat despicable and underhanded, they were effective. She eliminated her biggest rival and drove away Dumbledore's die-hard supporters.

“Mr. Gaius, I don’t want to make things difficult for you either.”

If you can tell me who Bigfoot is, what his relationship is with Dumbledore, and where they are, then you'll find out.

"What just happened was all a misunderstanding, and I can let it go."

"Heh!" Aaron rolled his eyes speechlessly. "It seems like you've been the one stirring up trouble all along. I've already been very magnanimous by not pursuing this matter."

“I’m doing this for the sake of school discipline, and it also involves the security of the Ministry of Magic,” Umbridge said matter-of-factly. “Harry contacted certain people through my Floo Network, most likely Dumbledore, and I had to investigate.”

“Not Dumbledore,” Harry said immediately.

“Then tell me who you’re talking to?” Umbridge retorted.

Harry was speechless. Although he hadn't managed to speak with Dumbledore, the existence of the Order of the Phoenix absolutely could not be revealed.

"Can't say it now, huh?" Umbridge glared at Harry, then turned her attention to Aaron. "You know perfectly well about Bigfoot, but you're pretending not to know."

At best, this disrespects the headmaster and encourages misbehavior among other students; at worst, it fails to cooperate with the Ministry of Magic's actions.

Aaron did not refute it; in a sense, Umbridge was right.

"I'll give you one more chance. Will you cooperate?"

"boring."

"What are you all standing there for?" Umbridge shouted. "Stop him!"

However, the students in the investigation team looked at each other, but none of them showed any intention of taking action.

“You?” Umbridge stared at her men in disbelief. “Are you deaf?”

"That's a bit insulting," Aaron said, standing up for the group. "Professor, you should have been fairer when you chose the members. The investigation team is all Slytherins."

You might think Slytherin will help you suppress the other three houses, which isn't entirely wrong, but unfortunately, I happen to be a Slytherin prefect.

“I am the headmaster, the headmaster!” Umbridge stamped her foot angrily. “I am the headmaster of Hogwarts now, and you should all listen to me.”

“That’s true, but…” Monta said haltingly under Umbridge’s questioning gaze, “but we can’t beat him.”

“We really can’t beat him.” Milison added awkwardly, “Principal, it’s not that we don’t listen to you, but even if we all joined forces, we still wouldn’t be a match for him.”

Umbridge: ......

Aaron shrugged and laughed, "Although I was chosen as a prefect by the previous headmaster, I earned Slytherin's respect through my own abilities."

After all, if your strength isn't up to par, you can't manage the unruly Slytherin school, right?

Umbridge's lips twitched slightly, and she gradually lowered her raised wand.

She forced an awkward yet polite smile. "Aaron, I acted impulsively this time. You can leave now."

"And what about them?" Aaron pointed to Harry and the others.

“That won’t do.” Umbridge firmly shook her head in refusal. “They have genuinely violated school rules and regulations. As the principal, I can’t just turn a blind eye!”

Aaron frowned slightly. "So, what are you going to do with them?"

“Everyone else is fine, just put him in solitary confinement, but I don’t have a better way to deal with Harry Potter.” Umbridge feigned difficulty. “Without truth serum, and he won’t cooperate, I have to think of some other way to get him to talk!”

"for example?"

"How about the Cruciatus Curse?"

“No, that’s illegal,” Hermione exclaimed in panic. “The Minister won’t allow you to break the law, Professor Umbridge.”

“As long as Connelly doesn’t know, it won’t bother him.” Umbridge took a deep breath, her breathing slightly rapid, as if making this decision was difficult for her as well.

Aren't you worried we'll tell Minister Fouché?

"As long as I get valuable information out of them, who cares if I use some tricks!"

Just like last summer when I ordered the Dementors to hunt Potter, Connelly didn't know, but he was still happy to have the opportunity to fire Potter.

Harry's eyes widened in disbelief. "Did you send those Dementors?"

“Someone has to take action!” Umbridge said matter-of-factly. “Many people told you to shut up, but I was the only one who actually did it.”

"How disgusting!" Aaron looked at her with disdain. "How did you become the vice minister?"

“No comment,” Umbridge said coldly. “Mr. Gaius, I won’t make things difficult for you, but you’d better not stop me from doing so.”

You should know the consequences of attacking the principal; I doubt you're prepared to be expelled!

Aaron smiled, neither confirming nor denying.

Umbridge picked up her wand and walked over to Harry. "Crunch Heart..."
