"Professor, I have to say, you were quite handsome just now." Harley said sincerely, looking at Kayson walking out of Wizengamot Hall alongside her.
"I'm a top student, after all. It's no problem to give these Wizard courts, with their numerous legal loopholes, a dimensional attack." Kayson said with a smile.
Meanwhile, Lupin and Sirius, who had been observing from behind, quickly caught up.
"Why was that pink toad's act so small this time? I didn't feel anything. I remember last time she made Fudge lose an arm, but this time he only lost face." Lupin said as he walked over.
"To be honest, I don't quite understand the behavior of people like her. She went to all that trouble just to expel Harley? The problem is, shouldn't their real enemies be Barty Crouch and Scrimgeour now? Dumbledore should even be a potential ally he needs to find an opportunity to ally with. Umbridge causing trouble for Harley is all harm and no benefit to them, so why?"
Kayson wasn't the only one who didn't understand Umbridge's thinking.
Even Fudge didn't understand. At this moment, in the Minister's office, he was looking at Umbridge standing in front of him.
"Please explain to me, what kind of psychology and profound thought allowed you to gain control of the Dementors, and then you did nothing proper? First, you transferred a large number of Wizengamot members to help Barty Crouch do things."
"Then, you, on your end, used Dementors to set up Harry Potter, offending Dumbledore, and causing trouble for us!"
"Why?! How could such a plan pop out of your brain?!" Fudge asked, bewildered.
"I'm very sorry, Minister, I've been abroad for a long time and don't understand the domestic situation very well. I thought your enemy was Dumbledore." Umbridge quickly said.
"On the contrary! Dumbledore is now an ally I need to win over! Idiot! An idiot who could fit in a Chocolate Frog!"
Fudge slammed his Alchemy arm down on the office desk, making Umbridge flinch.
"Please forgive me, Minister…" Umbridge said timidly.
"Forgive you? How can I forgive you! The premise of forgiving you is that you are a human, a person whose thoughts can be understood, but on the contrary, I don't understand your thoughts. I want to ask, even if my enemy really is Dumbledore, what good does framing Harry Potter do for us? What harm does it do to Dumbledore?" Fudge continued to ask.
"Uh… it could weaken Dumbledore's pawns?" Umbridge asked tentatively.
"The problem is Harry Potter, a boy who will only be in his fifth year next semester, what kind of proper pawn is he! What power does he have? He's only in his fifth year! What other use is there for you to do this besides making Dumbledore guard against us and dislike us in advance?!" Fudge roared loudly.
"…Annoy him?" Umbridge struggled for a long time before finally uttering this sentence.
Fudge took a deep breath. It could be said that Kayson cutting off his arm with a sword earlier didn't hurt him as much as what Umbridge said to him today.
How could a person say something so outrageous?
"Umbridge… I don't know if you annoyed Dumbledore, but now I can guarantee that you have indeed annoyed me."
"Now, get out!" Fudge roared.
Umbridge scrambled out of the office, but in just a second, she poked her head back into the office: "Minister, where should I go?"
Fudge took a deep breath. How he wished Avada Kedavra could be legally cast, or that he and Umbridge were in some deserted place where no one had been for eight lifetimes.
But in the end, he still forced himself to swallow it down: "I told you to get out… not to roll back in."
"Understood, Minister!" Umbridge exclaimed with surprise.
On the other side, Kayson, who had just walked out of Wizengamot Hall, saw a letter abruptly appear in front of him.
"What is this?" Harley asked.
"Dumbledore's letter. He needs us to gather in one place to form his private armed force. Oh, of course not that, but his private society… How do I even say it?" Kayson frowned, feeling his tongue was disobedient.
"Where?" Sirius, behind Kayson, asked.
In an instant, Kayson, Harley, and Lupin's gazes all focused on him.
Kayson pursed his lips, suddenly realizing that this letter might not be for him, but for Sirius.
When he handed the letter to Sirius, sure enough, the latter could synchronize with Dumbledore, just like at this very moment. He read for a full four minutes before he could make out the words between the lines.
The entire sheet of paper contained only one sentence.
"Need a house!"
Sirius's mouth twitched, but he was still very keen on striking Lord Voldemort.
He pulled a chicken feather from his chest, rubbed it with his finger to get some ink on it, making it a quill, and then wrote a reply on the letter.
The next moment, the letter vanished with a pop.
"Has he been waiting for me on this matter all along?" Sirius suddenly asked.
"Looks like it, obviously."
...
This holiday could be described as an eventful autumn, and the Dursley Family's house being entered by Dementors was a truly huge matter. This meant that Harley's three Muggle relatives' lives were truly beginning to be threatened.
Moreover, Harley no longer had any intention of continuing to live with the Dursley Family.
Even if Dumbledore wanted Harley to continue living there, Dumbledore was not a god after all; he could not control people's will.
So, in the end, the two groups of people still did not live under the same roof.
Kayson was also temporarily pulled in by Sirius and Lupin to be a laborer. According to them, those two great detectives had now escalated from a battle of wits to gang warfare in America, so there was no need to worry about them being found by Lord Voldemort.
Now, it was best for them to stick together for safety.
So…
"Ahem, that's why I'm here." Kayson looked at Neville's somewhat resentful little gaze at the end…
Because even now, after almost five years, Kayson still hadn't gone to his house for a family dinner with him.
But today, he was tricked into coming here by Sirius.
How is that a bit impressive?

I'm sorry
