Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Dolores Umbridge (High Inquisitor) is hereby ordered by the Ministry of Magic to take over as Headmaster of Hogwarts.
The above regulations are in accordance with Education Order No. 28.
The notice was posted all over the school overnight, and the castle was divided into different opinions, as no one knew why the headmaster of Hogwarts had changed overnight.
"Where's Professor Dumbledore?" Harry Potter and other insiders were quickly dug up. People don't get tired of asking them.
"That's enough! I don't know anything, so why don't you ask Silver and Malfoy? The Investigative Team knows these things better than I do. Harry blurted out in a hurry.
"Because the people in the investigative action team will deduct points from everyone who asks them that question. The people said so, and then continued to ask. "Tell us a little bit more, Harry. β
"I-what--what--no-know-way!"
Harry yelled.
Instead of dispersing the crowd, his voice drew a surprise - someone tapped him on the shoulder.
Harry turned, and now he was almost face to face with Filch, the Administrator. He hurriedly took a few steps back, thinking that it would be best to watch Filch from a distance.
"Headmaster Umbridge wants to see you, Potter. He squinted at Harry with malicious slight.
"It's the acting principal. Harry corrected.
Filch laughed silently, the drooping flesh of his chin trembling.
"I'm not interested in playing word games with you, Potter, the headmaster is the headmaster, and it doesn't matter to me whether the word acting is removed or not. He gasped and said, "Follow me." β
Harry could only follow Filch back to the foyer as he greeted the flood of hungry students.
Filch seemed to be in a particularly good mood. As they walked up the marble staircase. He hummed quietly and intermittently. When they reached the first landing, he said, "Things are changing here, Potter. β
"I don't think so. Harry said coldly.
"Not necessarily, you little brutes really don't shed tears when they don't see the coffin. Filch said.
"I've been telling Dumbledore for many, many years that he's been too lenient to you. Filch said, laughing softly and unpleasantly.
"If only I had known that I had the right to whip you to the flesh. You despicable little brutes won't throw stink bombs again, will you? If I can hang you by your feet and necks and hang you upside down in my office, then no one is going to throw toothed saucers in the hallway, right?" Filch said excitedly, spitting.
"Now. When the opportunity came, Professor Umbridge became the rector, and as soon as the Twenty-Nine Education Order came into effect, Potter, I would have the authority to do so. She also promised me that she would ask the minister to sign an order. Banish Peeves. Ha, with her in charge, things will be very different here, and I'd love to see Professor Umbridge become the full Headmaster of Hogwarts. β
Umbridge was clearly going out of her way to pull Filch to her side, and Harry thought with a chill in his heart - Filch knew Hogwarts too well, and he might well be a serious threat. Speaking of familiarity with the secret passages and hiding places in the school. He is probably second only to the Weasley twins.
"Here we are. Filch said, squinting at Harry, knocking lightly on Professor Umbridge's door three times, then pushing it open, "Potter kid has come to see you, Headmaster." β
Umbridge sat behind her desk, busy writing something on pink parchment, and when they entered, she raised her eyes with a smile on her face.
"Thank you, Argus. She said kindly.
"You're welcome. You're welcome, ma'am. Fish, who suffers from rheumatism, said as he bent down as best he could, and at the same time stepped out.
"Sit down. Umbridge pointed to a chair and said briefly. Harry sat down. Umbridge continued to write for a while. On the plate above her head, several ugly cats were bouncing around, and Harry looked at them. I can't guess what new trouble I will encounter.
"All right," said Umbridge at last, putting down her quill, the expression on her face like that of a toad about to swallow a deliciously juicy fly, "what would you like to drink?"
"What?" said Harry, feeling that he must have misheard.
"What to drink, Mr. Potter. Umbridge said, smiling even more happily, "Tea, coffee, pumpkin juice?"
She waved her wand lightly as she said each drink, and a teacup or glass with a drink appeared on her table.
"No thanks. Harry said.
"I wish you could have a drink with me. Umbridge said, and her tone began to become both intimidating and pleasant.
"I'm afraid I don't have the privilege yet, Professor. Harry said. "If you have something to say, just say it, Professor Umbridge. β
Umbridge smiled back, "Looks like we've finally come to a consensus, Mr. Potter." β
"Do you know more about Dumbledore's plans to plot against the Ministry of Magic?" she leaned forward slightly.
"What are you talking about?! Harry exclaimed.
"Potter, you'd better be honest. Umbridge's toad's eyes glowed with an eerie glow, "There's no point in fighting the Ministry of Magic. β
"You're asking me to fabricate the facts, even if Professor Dumbledore wanted to do something, he wouldn't say anything more to a fourth-year student, would he? β
"So you admit it, Dumbledore has this plot against the Ministry of Magic?" Umbridge clapped happily, her quill writing automatically on the parchment.
"Harry Potter admits that Dumbledore has plans against the Ministry of Magicβ"
"What are you doing?!" Harry stood up and snatched the quill and folded it into a ball.
"Harry Potter, you have a probationary on you right now, and I can ask you to leave at any time-"
"This authority belongs to the Headmaster of Hogwarts, and unfortunately, Professor Umbridge, you are only the acting Headmaster now. Harry said, "Professor Dumbledore told me before he left Hogwarts. β
Umbridge smirked again, "Harry, I'm really optimistic about you, you don't need to hang out with an outdated old guy like Dumbledore, you should have a brighter future - so be it, if you're willing to admit it, I can promote you to the head of the investigative operations team, and let you overtake Jack Silver and Draco Malfoy." β
"It might be more useful to say that before your men arrest me, Professor Umbridge. Harry's tone was **, "I admit I don't like the two guys you're talking about, but if you use guΓ² to outsmart them, I'd rather be expelled, goodbye, Professor Umbridge." β

"This damn old woman!" Malfoy said indignantly, "wants Potter to ride on top of us." β
"Very good, this thing. Silver shook the headphones in his hand, "Muggle stuff combined with magic is so wonderful. β
"You're breaking the law, Jack. Malfoy said.
"Are you saying I'm bugging the Headmaster's office or misusing Muggle items?"
"Both. Malfoy said. He then came to his senses, "What am I telling you to do this? I ask you, Umbridge does this, don't you have anything to say?"
"What do I have to say?" Silver shrugged, "Umbridge isn't a good man, and if you work with her, whoever takes advantage of her can't tell, Draco." β
"Who knows what this old woman wants to do!" Malfoy said.
In addition to taking down Dumbledore once and for all, she also wanted to be the headmaster of Hogwarts - don't underestimate this position, at least more than half of the Ministers of Magic have been headmasters of Hogwarts. β
"So- Dumbledore after he leaves office?" Malfoy mouthed.
Silver smiled very brightly.
