Chapter 238: New Notice (2/2)
”Who?” Ginny, Hermione and Ron said.
”Smith?” Chris guessed.
”Cho Chang,” Luna sighed.
”Wait, what?”
”Yes,” Luna grimaced. ”Her best friend Marietta Edgecombe insisted her to tell why a few particular Ravenclaws left the tower so frequently?”
”And she told her?” Ginny said outraged.
”Yes, she did, she told her about the place but as soon as she uttered ”D. A.” Chris' curse worked and she got tongue-tied. But when Cho still tried to talk, Hermione's purple pustules showed up all over her face.”
”And Marietta Edgecombe ran straight to Umbridge,” said Hermione hatefully. ”She was her secret informant.”
”That's why Cho didn't show up last night,” said Ron.
”But how did you know so much, Luna?” Chris asked.
”Terry Boot got all out from her last night when she talked nervously and looked shocked to see us out of trouble,” said Luna. ”But don't worry, I erased her memories.”

”You did what?” asked Hermione.
”We're good at memory charms, Hermione,” said Luna pointing at Colin, Ginny and Chris. ”Comes handy for this kind of situations.”
”That's — that's amazing,” said Hermione looking shocked and impressed.
As the day dragged on, Chris didn't feel so much happy. Cedric looked very depressed at his girlfriend's betrayal (”Well obviously, no one expected her to this after Cedric went through so much,” said Ernie Macmillan). Fred and Angelina had a big fight and they almost broke up (according to Ginny). Then Harry told them that Umbridge had called him to question about the meetings, obviously, he didn't say anything but the suspicious part was she offered him tea before questioning (”I bet, there was truth serum in it,” said Hermione. ”Good thing you didn't drink, Harry.”), but Cho wasn't that lucky, Umbridge gave her the truth serum and without knowing she drank. Because next morning, they heard that Dumbledore had attacked Umbridge and few Aurors in the hospital wing and took off.
”What do you mean Dumbledore attacked her?” asked Ginny to a portrait, who was telling the story very enthusiastically.
”When Dumbledore realized that she had put truth serum on that Ravenclaw girl, he went to stop her but Umbridge refused to stop,” sighed the portrait wizard. ”He used magic to stop him, but the Aurors said that he attacked the high Inquisitor and tried to seize him so he left.”
”That's really stupid,” said Chris. ”It's clear that he was framed.”
”Everything the ministry does is stupid,” said Luna.
”But Hogwarts without Dumbledore?” Chris was more shocked than she led on. She tried to look calm but Dumbledore's departure had shaken her from inside.
On the way, she saw the new notice and her blood boiled with anger.
