Chapter 21: Troubled
"Jack, a lot of people have told me that they want to learn something cooler than the Stun Charm and the Iron Armor Charm. Hermione grinned, "I also think the spells you've been teaching lately are a little too ordinary. ”
"Hermione. Silver said angrily, "Why are you the top student also heathing?" Stun Charm and Iron Charm are the most practical spells, and Defence Against the Dark Arts is meant to protect themselves from aggression, not to learn the cool and cool offensive magic, and the Stun Charm and Obstacle Charm are enough for them. ”
But they said that if they still practiced the spells, they wouldn't renew them next month. Hermione blinked.
"Well, that's a problem. Silver mused, adding a fat loaf to his plate.
"Well, I'll teach the Transfiguration Charm in the next class, and with that, I'll be able to avoid Filch's free night tour of the castle. ”
"Don't always instigate others to break the school rules. ”
"Do I have one?"
The owl's arrival interrupts their conversation, and a prophet's forecast is thrown in front of Hermione.
"Albus Dumbledore running for Minister of Magic?"
Dumbledore's picture was published on the front page of the Daily Prophet, with occasional nods.
"You didn't tell me, Jack. Hermione hurriedly opened the newspaper and read it.
Albus Dumbledore, the headmaster who left Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, said it was time for a change of minister. ”
"Jack, is there such a thing as an electing minister in the wizarding world?" asked Hermione.
"It depends on how you interpret it, the election of wizards is still a little different from the election of Muggles. "The Minister of Magic is usually chosen from among the Directors of the Department of Executive Affairs and the Directors of the Auror Office of the Ministry of Magic. ”
"And can Professor Dumbledore run for office?" asked Hermione.
"Of course, Professor Dumbledore is certainly eligible to run for Minister. There have been several Hogwarts Headmasters who have served as Minister for Magic after leaving office. With Dumbledore's credentials and prestige, it was more than enough to serve as England's Minister for Magic - after he defeated the dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald who swept Europe in 1945. There are many who want him to come forward to the post of minister. ”
"What do you say about the term of office of the Minister of Magic? should it have been changed this year?" asked Hermione.
"No, no, no, Hermione. Silver shook his head, "There's no clear term of office for the Minister of Magic, but if you can get the approval of most of the key people, then you can impeach the Minister of Magic and ask him to step down." ”
"So can Professor Dumbledore succeed?"
"At least half the battle, many people are now unhappy with Fudge - they know that the Dark Lord has been resurrected, but Fudge still doesn't put the effort into capturing the Death Eaters and the Dark Lord, as if nothing happened. The process of impeaching the Minister should be able to pass through the Wizengamot, but Professor Dumbledore will be able to run smoothly. Then maybe it's going to happen. Silver slurred the bread into his mouth and mumbled.
"But that's a good thing, at least Umbridge won't be so frustrated, and I think she'll be more kind to me later."
Silver, however, was only half right.
Because Umbridge was even more frustrated when he got the news - especially with Harry Potter.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
"What's in your hand? Potter. Umbridge pointed to a copy of Harry's monthly Contrarian magazine, which Ron had gotten from a third-year Ravenclaw student. Ron felt that this thing would make Harry feel better.
"It's nothing, Professor Umbridge, it's just a regular magazine from my friend. ”
"Magazines?" Umbridge skeptically snatched the magazine from Harry's hand.
She opened it to reveal a large red line printed on the magazine: Albus Dumbledore is about to be inaugurated as Minister for Magic.
"What kind of mess is this, Potter?" Umbridge tore the contrarian to shreds. "It's as if it's happened, do you believe the magazine? ”
"I think what the editor-in-chief said makes a lot of sense. Harry said.
"What nonsense! Mr. Potter," she whispered, "you think this nonsense tabloid makes sense." ”
She took a deep breath. "Fifty points for Gryffindor, Mr. Potter, if I ever find you reading this mess of tabloids and magazines, you'll be locked up. ”
She stammered and walked away. Less than noon. Huge notices were plastered all over the school, not only on the college bulletin boards, but also in the hallways and classrooms.
Orders from the High Inquisitor at Hogwarts
Any student who is found to be in possession of the magazine "Singing Against Tune". It should be brought to Senior Ombridge for immediate and severe punishment
The above regulations are in accordance with Education Order No. 27
Signed: Senior Investigator Dolores Jane Umri
But in Hogwarts, if you want to make one thing known to everyone, then the best thing to do is to ban it from spreading at Hogwarts.
"Professor Dumbledore will definitely kick that damn old woman out of Hogwarts, I've had enough!"
Umbridge was half, and she and Filch stopped the students in the hallway from time to time to check their school bags, but to no avail.
Soon, even the first-year students were there talking about what Dumbledore would do when he became Minister for Magic.
Umbridge sees Harry Potter as a breakthrough, and she will lock Harry Potter in confinement if she has nothing to do, and ask him about Dumbledore's alleged anti-Magic plan.
Harry's life became torturous, dealing with Umbridge's interrogations and Snape's Occlumency classes when he was awake, and haunting him with strange dreams that came and went when he fell asleep.
Luckily, Ron had the happy news that Hagrid was back. (To be continued......)
