Valentine's Day night dinner at school was sumptuous, and even Ryan, who had eaten a lot of snacks at Hogsmeade before, ate quite a lot at dinner.

Unlike Ryan's middle school in his previous life, Hogwarts has always taken a neutral and even slightly encouraging stance on the love of older students. Because the British wizarding world is so big, most of the people will find their other half in school. Not to mention that the British wizarding world has always faced the problem of population shortage, and everyone wants students to get married immediately after graduation. Then it's better to have more children.

For example, Ginny told Hermione that in the wizarding world, there is a maternity allowance for the third child, and the more children after that, the more allowance she will give. This explains why so many of the Weasleys' children are supported by Mr. Weasley, a low-level staff member of the Ministry of Magic. Of course, the amount of this subsidy is not too much, so the Weasleys can afford to raise their children, but life is still tight.

Because of this habit in the wizarding world, the banquet on Valentine's Day night will naturally be a little more sumptuous than usual. It's just that unlike other festivals, this festival is not normally celebrated in the open.

"Harry, what's wrong with you?" Ryan, who was eating a piece of roast beef, asked curiously when he saw Harry, who was sitting across from him, looking a little wilted.

"Ginny and Ron are training today, and Sirius is in trouble. Visiting Hogsmeade alone is so boring. Harry said depressedly. "Not to mention Hegla's babbling about all sorts of strange things, I could see that he wasn't happy and hiding something, but he seemed determined not to accept help. Anyway, I had a terrible day. How are you and Hermione today?"

"It was nice and I had a chat with Lupin. Ryan said after swallowing the beef in his mouth.

"Oh my God, I actually got out of the way with you, and I guess I just came out of the three brooms when you got in. Otherwise, it would be nice to talk to Lupin. Harry looked a little annoyed.

In the common room after dinner, Hermione was writing her homework, while Ryan sat across from her, deducing a large number of seemingly complex runic formulas on parchment, and even pulling out a metal plate with something carved into it.

"Hi and good evening. "Suddenly, the twins sprang out from behind.

"It's complicated. Fred said after glancing at the runes that Ryan had carved on the silver plate. "That's why we can make some magic items at best, but not alchemy products. I guess this kind of boring stuff is the only thing you can keep studying. ”

"You know, whether it's Dumbledore or the Mysteries, they put a lot of money into the pursuit of learning, and that's where their strength comes from. So it doesn't hurt to have some free time to do a little more research. Ryan asked after a slight gesture, "By the way, I see you sitting in the stands at the Quidditch pitch today watching our academy train." How's the newcomers going?"

"Ron and Ginny aren't there?" Fred dragged a chair over and looked around, seeing Harry shaking his head, he said, "That's good." Although they are our younger siblings, we would also like to say that after watching the whole training session, we felt that they would lose everything, and without us, they would be a pile of waste. ”

"Don't say that. George interrupted his brother. "Ginny was not bad, even far beyond expectations. Seriously, she's already very good at practicing to this level herself. Ron didn't look like our brother compared to him. ”

"Is it that bad?" asked Hermione, looking up from behind a thick pile of books. "He's also a brother who has been trained with you since childhood, is it that bad?"

"Let's put it this way, if no one looks at him, he can pounce. Fred hung his head and said, "Maybe we can only win if he's on the court alone." ”

The twins' prediction was correct, and the Gryffindor team still lost 230-240 on Saturday after catching the Golden Snitch, and it wasn't just a goalkeeper problem, all the newbies were dropping the chain. Thankfully, the game ended after only 22 minutes, and Ginny finally saved a bit of face to make the score less ugly.

On Monday, the latest issue of "Singing Against the Tune" was published and swept the castle by storm. On the cover is a picture of Umbridge smugly enacting the Decree of Education, with the words "Umbridge's Struggle" written in floral script at the bottom. ”

"Dolores?? Simple?? Is Umbridge Alford?? Umbridge and Alan?? Cranelle's eldest daughter, and the only daughter in the family—"This article is a thorough revelation of Umbridge's roots, especially as it describes in detail how she persuaded her father to accept a small allowance for early retirement, in order to ensure that he would quickly lose news in her world. And how she declared that your father was a prominent figure in the Wizengamot during his lifetime and unlucky those who inquired about the truth of the matter.

In addition to some of the comments she had privately discussed about how to secretly use "what they deserve" against non-magical groups, Ryan noticed that her theories were uncomfortable even for many Slytherin students.

The most important of these is that at the end of the article, it is clearly stated that when the Minister for Magic, Fudge, was delusional that Dumbledore might steal his place, Umbridge used a series of tactics, including inciting Fudge's vanity and panic, to climb himself to the top of power, while convincing him that he was one of the few people he could trust.

"Hopefully Fudge will be dog-eat-dog with Umbridge, or at least so that Umbridge can be distracted and not keep his focus on school. In the common room, Ginny said excitedly.

"It would be great if things did go that way, but I'm really worried that this article will spur Umbridge into doing something more extreme at school. Hermione wasn't so optimistic, and it quickly turned out.

A few days later, Ryan and Hermione were writing in the library when they heard a cacophony coming from downstairs. At first they didn't care, but then it got louder and louder.

"What the hell is going on?" Hermione looked up, "Why did Mrs. Pince, who barely left the library, go downstairs too?

"Let's take a look. Ryan said as he packed his things and ran downstairs with Hermione. It turned out that Professor Dumbledore announced that as Headmaster, he had the right to let the dismissed Trelawney continue to live in the castle.

"I can't believe that this cow would dare to make such a big move under such circumstances. Hermione said with a frown.

"Expected. Ryan clasped his hands to his chest and said, "At this time, Umbridge must definitely show his absolute loyalty to Fudge, and firing a professor on Dumbledore's side is the best way to show his position." ”

Umbridge began to question what if there was a new divination teacher, and Dumbledore said that he had found a new professor.

"Ferencze. Looking at the blond-haired, blue-eyed, tawny horse-man walking in, Ryan and Hermione immediately waved to greet the handsome centaur.

"Looking at Umbridge's appearance, she would never have thought that Professor Dumbledore would be able to find the Divination Professor so quickly. Looking at the stunned Umbridge, Hermione smiled happily.

"yes, the Ministry of Magic went too far this time. Ryan turned to Hermione. "Mr. Headmaster just hopes to unite more people when facing the mysterious man, but that doesn't mean he has to back down completely. As the number one white wizard in the world, Deng Liduo made a counterattack this time in the hope that Fudge could stop in moderation, and not let the mysterious man seize the opportunity to defeat us all because of infighting. ”

"Does this work?" asked Hermione.

"Professor Dumbledore found it useful. Ryan lowered the hand he was holding on to his chest and spread it out. "But I think Fudge, who has been completely blinded by power, will probably not take our headmaster's kindness, and will do something worse. ”
