Time flies, years are like water, in a blink of an eye, the new semester has passed more than a month, obviously, since Augustus was in the first class, Umbridge was newly arrived with the power of the Ministry of Magic completely suppressed, this celebrity around Fudge, has completely ceased to be as arrogant as at the beginning, during this period of time, whether it is classes, or daily activities, have changed the arrogant and domineering style of the day, completely a low-key code of conduct, I have to say, this world, as always, realistic and cruel, when it relies on the momentum, When there is no effect at all, you can only clamp the tail and act carefully.

However, although Fudge has a soft personality in a certain way, it is absolutely impossible to tolerate factors that will threaten his position, such as the rumors of Voldemort's return, and the so-called rumors from Hogwarts, obviously, with Umbridge's current status as a teacher, it does not seem to have much effect.

In the early morning, sitting at the Slytherin table in the cool breeze, the owl delivering the letter had just flown off the milk jug, and a hint of surprise appeared in Lillian's crimson pupils, and she unfolded the newspaper, and in front of her was a large picture of Dolores Umbridge. She smiled and winked at them, with the headline on it: Ministry of Magic Seeks Educational Reform Dolores Umbridge Appointed First High Inquisitor "Umbridge." ”

"Senior Investigator?" The corners of Augustus' mouth tugged at a strange smile, flicking the owl's withered feathers on the black robe, and his gaze turned to the Daily Prophet in Lillian's hand.

In front of my eyes, the remarks about the senior investigator appeared one by one.

"In an impromptu operation last night, the Ministry of Magic issued a new decree that brought its control over Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to an unprecedented level."

"For some time now, the Minister has become increasingly uneasy about the current state of Hogwarts." Assistant Secretary Percy Weasley said, "He took action after listening to the concerns of parents who felt that the school seemed to be moving in a direction that they disapproved of." ”

"Tsk, the Minister has a lot of opportunities, and he still has time to listen to the opinions of the parents of Hogwarts students. Augustus took a slight sip of the pumpkin juice on the table. There was a hint of banter on his face.

Lillian sighed lightly, "Obviously, for you and Dumbledore, the Minister for Magic has made an imaginary enemy. Of course, with the influence of the Julius family, he naturally would not make any out-of-the-ordinary moves, but in order to subtly achieve his goal, it is naturally very convenient to change the identity of a senior investigator for Umbridge. ”

Augustus waved his hand and said with a slight smile, "Politics is always in the service of power, and a great man in China once said that the change of regime always comes from a stronger force." Of course, Fudge thought too ideally, and it can only be said that he was too naïve, even in the Muggle world, if he wanted a revolution, he needed an army. Without power, a qiē is just empty talk. ”

"You're right." Lillian brushed her breezy hair, and a smile appeared on her snow-white cheeks, "In that case, let's see what kind of storm this so-called senior investigator can stir up." ”

Augustus nodded slightly, a relaxed smile on the corner of his mouth. Lilian's family seemed to have some personal matters, and after finishing the meal, they said goodbye to Augustus and left the hall.

Picking up the newspaper again, Augustus's leisurely expression grew to a grimace, and he slowly examined the detailed report on the order.

The most recent temporary operation came into effect with the approval of the Ministry of Magic's Education Order No. 23, which created the new position of Senior Inquisitor at Hogwarts.

"This is an exciting new step in the Minister's plan to control the so-called decline in education at Hogwarts." "The investigator will have the authority to vet her fellow faculty members to make sure they all meet the standards," Weasley said. Professor Umbridge has been awarded this position in addition to her faculty membership, and we are pleased to inform you that she has gladly accepted. ”

Have the right to vet her fellow faculty? Augustus stared slightly at this line.

It seems that Fudge is no longer satisfied with merely changing and transforming the minds of his students, and instead focuses on the teachers of Hogwarts.

In this way, this so-called senior investigator has indeed great authority and convenience.

Augustus frowned slightly and continued to look down.

"Now that I know that Dumbledore will be judged fairly and objectively, I feel much more at ease." Mr. Lucius Malfoy, now forty-one, said last night at his Wiltshire mansion, "Many of us who care about the vital interests of our children have been concerned 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. ”

Those outlandish decisions, which undoubtedly included the appointment of controversial faculty members, have already been commented on by this newspaper, including the hiring of the werewolf Remus Lupin, the half-hybrid giant Rubeus Hagrid, and the fake former Auror "Mad Eye" Moody.

Is this a further argument for the necessity of the Inquisitor? Obviously, this move is very good, and this senior inquisitor, with Fudge's appetite, will definitely not be satisfied with this, starting from students, to teachers, to public opinion in the outside world, three levels, step by step to dismantle Dumbledore's prestige and reputation. The final chess to force the palace, the ultimate goal, must be the real ruler of Hogwarts, Dumbledore.

Moreover, even if he fails to reach the goal, but is taken by the other party first, he is just a loss of a dispensable chess piece, and for Fudge, a chess piece like Umbridge can definitely be sacrificed. With a small and a big one, this big gamble is definitely a situation of winning without loss.

After all, he still underestimated Fudge, and Augustus had a chuckle in his deep gaze. How can a character who can sit firmly in the position of minister for decades not have his own strategic government. It can only be said that too many people are despised by Fudge's usual weakness. I have to say that he did hide it perfectly. A politician, if any person can find out your true face, such a person is afraid that he will die very early.

However, when it comes to politics, these people, even Dumbledore, who can compare with Augustus, who has been up and down in the imperial officialdom for decades, when he first came, he put his horses in full swing and gave Umbridge a horse, and his position and purpose were extremely clear. It seems to be very in line with the clear character of a genius boy who is flying and domineering and has a deep family. However, who can understand the real purpose hidden under the mask of truth.
