"Dumbledore just needs a mascot that he can control. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Although Connelly thinks the same way. Holly shrugged, a little speechless about the two men's common goals.

Malfoy chuckled and didn't continue.

The Dark Lord had a similar idea, but more of a desire to publicly execute the only person who had "defeated" him head-on, and then prove that he was powerful, but no one would tell this secret that everyone in the Death Eaters would tell.

On the one hand, the Death Eaters need to use the power of the Dark Lord to cleanse the wizarding world and clean up the part of the wizard group that purebred wizards can't look down on, on the other hand, for the Dark Lord's unusually willful behavior, the older and slightly calmer Death Eaters are also very aware that this is a problem in the Dark Lord's upbringing, but this is also a point that these purebred wizards can take advantage of.

It can only be said that the pure-blooded wizards like Lucius Malfoy are temporarily at a disadvantage in the process of using each other with the Dark Lord, but this does not mean that they do not have the ultimate chance to win, the inheritance of hundreds of years has given them countless ways to fight the Dark Lord, but everyone is not doing so now.

A powerful thug who is obsessed with his own bloodline, this is the definition of the Dark Lord by the old monsters of the pure-blood wizard family, and in fact, they do just that.

A person who does not have his own concerns, a person who does not need to leave a back road for himself, will have extremely destructive power. Considering the panic that Grindelwald once brought to the wizarding world, you can understand the destructive power of the Dark Lord.

It's just the same way, no inheritance, which means no foundation...... Even Dumbledore can't withstand the erosion of time, the passage of time, not to mention that the Dark Lord is still induced by the mistakes of all parties to go down a path of self-destruction.

It's always pleasant to talk to smart people. At least communicating with Lucius Malfoy is much more comfortable than with Fudge.

After figuring out the key points of Dumbledore's exchange with Fudge, Holly can also make some targeted arrangements and respond in advance.

Lucius, on the other hand, was prompted by Holly to go home and pick up Draco Malfoy.

In the battlefield where Dumbledore and many other forces are not seen in Hogwarts, not everyone is qualified to enter the arena to play chess.

If you enter the market rashly, you will only become a pawn or victim of others. While he was sure that no one would discard or erase Draco, Lucius didn't want Draco to get too involved in the distractions. At least compared to the two girls who had been playing games with Hogwarts at the Ministry of Magic years ago, Draco was still too tender, too tender. Maybe he could learn a little bit after the two of them, and maybe Lucius himself needed to mention something, but, at least for this year, Lucius didn't think he had enough energy to get involved in the Hogwarts battlefield.

And...... The fragile tacit agreement had been reached, with Lucius balancing Cornelly Fudge at the Ministry of Magic not to make too much of a mess in the wizarding world, and Holly and Erinka at Hogwarts maintaining the balance in the school.

---

When Holly returned to Little Hangleston, he received good news - the Weasley twins said they had gotten their hands on the qualifying item in the cupboard, but it was just ...... Mrs. Weasley seems to have recently stepped up surveillance of the two men, at least in the words of the twins, Mrs. Weasley longs for them to be by her side twenty-four hours a day.

Thereupon...... Even though Holly was looking forward to what the Weasley twins had helped her get, she sent a letter to remind the two of them not to get too close to it......

The start of school is getting closer and closer, but the Hogwarts book list has not yet arrived, and the list of teachers that Hogwarts has reported to the Ministry of Magic as usual, and the Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher column is still vacant - there is no shortage of malicious speculation in Holly, and perhaps Cornelius Fudge has searched for all his reassuring subordinates, only to find that none of them can take on the job......

Fudge did have a headache the other day, but ...... Now he had found a solution, or someone had volunteered to take on the task of going to Hogwarts to play against Dumbledore.

Fudge was a little uneasy about Umbridge's volunteering, but it seemed that there was no better option for his men than Umbridge.

It's not that Fudge hasn't considered finding a retired Auror or some other wizard to take on the role, as Dumbledore did the previous year, it's just that ...... The Aurors, who are violent law enforcement, don't seem to want to go on this troubled waters, and the older wizards seem to be more willing to trust Dumbledore, even if they don't believe in the Dark Lord's return, but they are also unwilling to act as Fudge's thugs to fight against Dumbledore.

In this case, Umbridge is almost the only person Fudge can handle...... Even this candidate was promoted through improper channels not long ago.

However, Lucius and Holly both raised their hands to welcome Umbridge's appointment...... Although there is not much contact, both of them know that such a woman can definitely cause Dumbledore enough trouble.

The destructive power that a jealous old woman can bring is definitely not something Dumbledore can imagine.

In the spirit of the idea that if he could cause trouble for Dumbledore, he would relieve himself, and with Holly's acquiescence and Lucius's approval, Umbridge's letter of appointment finally appeared on Dumbledore's desk two days before school started.

And the notices that had been prepared for a long time to be sent to each student were also sent to all corners of the UK by the owls as soon as possible.

At the same time as the owl, there are also the prefect badges of each house and, of course, the notice of appointment of the student president.

Unsurprisingly, Holly was once again captured by Dumbledore as the president of the Girls' Student Council, and the position of prefect he had held last year was handed over to Padma Pettier by Flitwick.

As for whether Padma will be frightened after receiving the prefect badge, it is not for Holly to consider.

This year, Holly didn't want to be trapped by Dumbledore with those trivial things, at least, the Student President didn't have a bunch of trivial things to deal with like the prefect (although Holly didn't deal with that stuff last year), and at the same time, the Student Council had more privileges...... This is important to Holly.

As for the Gryffindor prefects......
