Once inside Umbridge's office, the Inquisitor's Squad stands at one side while Snape and Serenity stand at the other side. Umbridge sits by her table.

"Well now, shall I begin........" say Umbridge as calmly as she can.

"May I say a few words Madam Inquisitor?" say Snape politely.

"Of course, Severus," said Umbridge sweetly but obviously she worries.

"I can vouch that Serenity had nothing and know nothing about Potter, Granger and Weasley. I have told Serenity to cut off her friendship with Miss Granger for her own good. As proof, the Veritaserum that I produce for you is one of your interrogation tools on students. Use it on Serenity, right here right now" say Snape seriously.

Everyone is taken aback.

"My goodness Severus, there is no need to go to that extent," says Umbridge.

"The Slytherin is fighting among themselves. And they even injured one of their own in the process. The Little Miss Greengrass is not in good health and any misfortune that falls onto her may lead to instant death, am I wrong here, Miss Greengrass?" ask Snape to Daphne.

Daphne jumped a bit and slowly node her head.

"Slytherin's name and honour are at stake here and as the head house of Slytherin, I want to clear this once and for all. Like I said before, my daughter is mud blood and she is friends with Miss Granger. It is just impossible for her not to know anything. My daughter will never lie and I implore that you used the Veritaserum to conclude this" press, Snape.

Umbridge looks like she is about to lose it but is held back.

"As you wish," say Umbridge and takes out the bottle of Veritaserum and hands it to Snape.

"No Madam Inquisitor, it is you have a suspicion about Serenity then it is you have to administer the serum to Serenity," said Snape.

"Alright then," said Umbridge, doing her best not to show her anger towards Snape.

Umbridge walks in front of her table and stands there.

"Come here Miss Snape," said Umbridge.

Serenity walks and stops in front of Umbridge.

"Open up," said Umbridge.

Serenity opens her mouth and Umbridge drops the Veritaserum into her mouth. She was shocked when she felt three drops of Veritaserum in her mouth. All they need is a drop and a person will talk about anything like, nonstop like a cuckoo bird. Serenity doesn't know if it is accidental or not, she starts to feel unwell.

"Now, are you a good friend with Miss Hermione Granger, Mr Harry Potter and Mr Ronald Weasley?" asked Umbridge.

"Hermione is my best friend. I'm not a friend of Mr Potter but I have no problem with him. But I hate Mr Troll as he makes Hermione's life miserable with his stupidity" answered Serenity right away.

Everyone was shocked by Serenity's answer.

"I'm sorry my dear but who is Mr Troll?" asks Umbridge confusedly.

"That is how I address Ronald Weasley" answered Serenity.

Umbridge rise her eyebrows while the rest of the squad smirked except for Draco.

"Please explain why you call Mr Weasley as Mr Troll?" ask Umbridge, trying to understand.

"Like I said before, madam. He makes Hermione's life miserable with his stupidity. He is as stupid as a troll. It is fitting to call him that" answer Serenity right away.
