For the next few days, Jon's life at Hogwarts was peaceful.

The history of magic class, the astronomy class, and the ancient rune class are no different from previous years...... Except for the classmates who took the class together, there was a slight change.

However, during the Potions class, Jon deliberately kept an eye on it.

His new partner in Potions class is Tiffany Selwyn, while Astoria's partner becomes Madeleine Yaxley.

Jon behaved just like the average Slytherin student in Potions class, maybe slightly better than them...... Since he was a student of Slytherin, Professor Severus-Snape didn't criticize him too much.

Jon was mainly worried that if the standard of performance was too high, it would arouse the suspicion of Snape, a veteran undercover agent.

After all, Snape wasn't like ordinary teachers who could be fooled by casually.

The first week back at Hogwarts was coming to an end.

On the one hand, I got along well with all the students, and on the other hand, I also got Astoria's understanding...... The only thing Jon didn't understand was that Dumbledore hadn't contacted him yet.

He had thought that the night after the sorting ceremony, he would have to go to Headmaster Dumbledore's office and arrange tasks for himself.

But that's a good thing, at least it won't get you into any trouble.

If he could, Jon would rather Dumbledore not look for him this term.

This way, he can rest assured that he will be able to manage Christoph Patrick's new identity at Hogwarts.

......

On Sunday night, when Jon opened the Daily Prophet, he saw a headline on the front page.

The first thing that catches your eye is a picture of Dolores Umbridge, an old pink toad smiling and nodding her head around from time to time.

Above is the headline: "The Ministry of Magic Seeks Educational Reform, Dolores Umbridge Appointed as the First High Inquisitor at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry." ”

The following text reads:

"The Minister for Magic, Mr. Cornelius Fudge, takes the current state of Hogwarts very seriously and is increasingly uneasy.

Considering the aging Headmaster Albus-Dumbledore's recent coma, many Ministry of Magic officials and parents of students believe that the school is going in a bad direction.

A week ago, on August 30th, the Ministry of Magic had just passed the Twenty-Second Education Order...... Make sure that if a vacancy arises at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the Ministry of Magic has the right to recommend a suitable candidate.

As a result, Ms. Dolores Umbridge was recommended as a conservation magical beasts teacher at Hogwarts.

This beautiful and conscientious female teacher has been recognized and supported by many parents of students in just one week since she took over the position......

And she provided the Minister with timely information about Hogwarts, where the real situation was worse than we thought.

At 9 a.m. GMT this morning, the Ministry of Magic's Education Order No. 23 came into effect by a vote, creating a new position of "Hogwarts Senior Inquisitor".

The Hogwarts Senior Inquisitor will have the authority to vet her fellow faculty members to ensure they are up to par, and Professor Umbridge has been granted a position outside of her faculty position, and we are pleased to say that she has embraced it. ”

These new measures by the Ministry of Magic have received enthusiastic support from the parents of Hogwarts students.

"I was relieved to know that Hogwarts was back on track. Forty-one-year-old Mr. Lucius Malfoy said last night at his Wiltshire mansion: "Many of us who care about the vital interests of our children have been worried about Dumbledore's strange decisions in recent years, and it is gratifying to know that the Ministry of Magic is keeping a close eye on the situation. ”

Of course, it is also rumored that Albus Dumbledore, who was once the president of the International Confederation of Wizards and the chief wizard of the Wizengamot, is no longer able to take on the responsibility of running the prestigious school of Hogwarts.

Some Ministry of Magic officials have suggested that Professor Dolores Umbridge, who is popular with students and their parents, be appointed Headmaster of Hogwarts.

The proposal was eventually abandoned due to an outcry from Wizengamot's patriarchs, Grecilda Macbans and Tiberus Ogden. ”

......

Reassuring the Daily Prophet in his hand, Jon fell into a brief thought:

It looks like everything is back on track, and Umbridge will be the High Prosecutor at Hogwarts, just like in the books.

Even if she's a Conservation Magical Beasts professor now, not a Defence Against the Dark Arts professor.

But this has nothing to do with me, and I won't be reckless and directly confront Umbridge.

Dumbledore was the same, no matter what Umbridge did at school, he never took her seriously, let alone took the initiative to provoke her.

After all, in this case, Voldemort and the Death Eaters were the real enemies, and the people in the Ministry of Magic were just people who didn't know the truth.

Therefore, Dumbledore has always chosen to tolerate and not have a head-on conflict with the Ministry of Magic to avoid unnecessary losses.

Sooner or later, the truth will come out, and Fudge and Umbridge will be liquidated......

As Jon pondered, he threw the Daily Prophet into the flames of the fireplace and watched Umbridge's ridiculous face burn in the flames.

"What are you burning?" Tiffany Selwyn walked into the Slytherin common room just then, to the fire.

"Nothing!" Jon said with a smile, "It's just a finished newspaper, mainly for—"

Looking at the fireplace, his face changed slightly.

Jon took out his wand and waved it lightly...... The flames in the fireplace burst out and turned into a flaming serpent, which flew around the common room a few times, to the applause.

"It's beautiful!" Selwyn exclaimed, clapping his hands.

"It's okay!" Jon looked embarrassed, quickly stood up and walked out of the Slytherin common room.

At the same time, the newspaper in the fireplace was completely reduced to ashes.

The flaming serpent also flew out of the common room with him.

......

In the corridor of the basement, there was silence as it was getting late.

The flame serpent gradually extinguished, and finally turned into a bright red bird.

"Why are you here!" Jon retorted, lowering his voice.

When he saw Fawkes in the fire just now, it startled him...... Luckily there was no one else around, and Selwyn didn't notice anything in the fireplace.

Otherwise, if the Slytherin students saw a phoenix messing with him, they would have jumped into Lake Hogsmeade and couldn't be washed.
