Who are you? Another Chinese professor?"

"Dolores Jane Umbridge, Senior Deputy Minister for Magic, will also be one of the Defence Against the Dark Arts professors at Hogwarts for the next year, depending on Professor Dumbledore's arrangements, and ......"

Umbridge squeezed a sweet, disgusting smile out of his flabby face, and said in that high-pitched, contrived voice.

and...... Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Special Senior Inquisitor for this educational pilot. ”

"Wait, Senior Investigator, when will there be an official stationed in the school?!"

A tall, dark-haired wizard with dark gray eyes frowned and interrupted somewhat unceremoniously, judging by the man's silhouette, he should have been quite handsome, and his thin appearance looked as if he had just gone through a long torture.

"Professor Dumbledore, I don't know of any new education that includes this, and it's not a good idea to let the claws of these rotten bureaucratic politicians stick their claws into the school. Besides, Defence Against the Dark Arts, just you?"

"I'm sorry, Sirius Black, but the Ministry of Magic doesn't seem obligated to keep you informed at all times. ”

Umbridge turned her head to look at the man with an undiminished smile, a screaming voice like a little girl with a chilling indifference.

"At least I won't be violating four or five Miniss' bans in a row less than a month after I was released from prison, and maybe the Black family has enough assets for you to squander, but if you were to teach at Hogwarts - even if it's just a trainee professor in Transfiguration - it seems to me that it's obviously a debatable venture, and that's the opinion of the Ministry. ”

"And I'm the first senior investigator assigned by the Ministry of Magic. ”

After a slight pause, Umbridge's stubby fingers twirled across her pink cardigan, smirking.

"By the way, the establishment of an inquisitor in the school is not a plan of the Ministry of Magic. This is Professor Dumbledore's initiative to avoid diverting the educational pilot from reality and its original purpose - it must be said that it is a very sensible, admirable and exciting proposal, which is why the greatest wizard of our time is Professor Dumbledore, not you. ”

Hearing this, the old man sitting at the desk finally couldn't help but interrupt.

"Dolores, this is a very exalting assessment, there are too many wizards in this world with talents and abilities that I can never match, such as I can't invent a recipe for wolf poison potion, and I have never had a best-selling work......"

Dumbledore took off his glasses from the bridge of his twisted nose, rubbed his eyebrows and continued.

"Sirius, maybe your past experiences have made you a little distrustful of the Ministry of Magic, but I'm sure the Ministry of Magic won't joke with the students' studies - just as we have done for hundreds of years, we have given the officials of the Ministry of Magic trust, respect, and a certain degree of regulation and adjustment, and they will use these powers sparingly, right?"

Dumbledore tilted his head and looked at Umbridge meaningfully.

Facing the old man's piercing gaze, Umbridge subconsciously looked away and muttered cautiously.

"Of course, of course, Professor Dumbledore, you're right. Ancient skills unique to the wizarding world must be passed down from generation to generation and innovated or they will disappear. The precious repositories of magical knowledge accumulated by our ancestors must and can only be protected, supplemented and perfected by men like you who aspire to noble educational careers. ”

At this point, Umbridge stopped talking and bowed slightly to the other professors in the office.

While the vast majority of people didn't choose to return the salute to her, many of the wizards who were concerned about the debate had noticeably better looks on their faces—even if they knew it was a bureaucratic compliment, it sounded good until there was no conflict of interest.

Unlike the delicate relationship in the original worldline, Cornelius Fudge and the Ministry of Magic at this time were far less powerful.

To be more precise, due to the sudden "crisis" that occurred in the past year, the honeymoon period between Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and the British Ministry of Magic has become extraordinarily long.

And from the perspective of the vast majority of people, this intimacy can be said to be logical and gratifying:

In the "mortgage crisis" of last year's "first half", the Ministry of Magic took the initiative to absorb debts, trying to do everything possible to prevent Hogwarts Castle from falling into the hands of goblins;

In the "second half", it relied on Hogwarts to turn the tide, accidentally exposed the conspiracy of Voldemort and Peter Pettigrew, and recovered the loss of financial fraud.

It is true that Hogwarts' intervention in Gringotts and the bundling of "Hawking" did put some pressure on the Ministry of Magic, so Cornelius Fudge was a little resistant when he first received the Hogwarts "New Curriculum Standard" proposal.

However, before he could think of a reason for refusing, Dumbledore offered a price that he couldn't refuse.

What the Ministry of Magic has always wanted from the beginning of its existence - a foothold at Hogwarts.

And if you read it carefully according to Albus Dumbledore's proposal, I am afraid that the Ministry of Magic has gained more than just a foothold, and in some specific cases of the proposal, the power of the "High Inquisitor" is even above that of the Headmaster.

Whether it is the right to evaluate and supervise professors who are inactive, morally corrupt, and unskilled, or the right to judge the school's external image, enrollment and talent introduction, or even in the school, for those students who violate discipline, suggestions, commendations and rewards......

These were all great trusts that Cornelius Fudge had never even dreamed of, and the rights he craved.

Needless to say, this is a great development that will go down in the history of the Ministry of Magic.

There may be greater Ministers of Magic in the future, but Cornelius Fudge is sure that if this succeeds, there will be no more successful Minister of Magic than him.

Dolores Jane Umbridge, the "first senior investigator," is clearly aware of this.

For the Ministry of Magic and Hogwarts, replacing a "High Inquisitor" is not a big deal, and when the education reform begins, there will be a large number of wizards who will sharpen their heads and try to squeeze into the position.

The trust Hogwarts has given is too great, far more than the Ministry of Magic should have.

After so many years of working in the Ministry of Magic, Cornelius Fudge and Dolores Umbridge almost immediately anticipated the old wizard's reason for doing so—the right to be the delicious fish of the sea that smelled of blood, and the countless hunters hidden in the shadows expected them to make a mistake and then find a way to tear a piece of flesh from it.

If nothing else, they will soon be greeted with skepticism and pressure from all corners of the wizarding world.

Most of the rights that are clearly unreasonable will not be retained for long, and the seemingly innocuous terms will be over-interpreted, and the amount of ground they will eventually have in their hands will depend on how careful they are in their response.

"So, Professor Dumbledore, rest assured...... As a Senior Investigator, the first thing I will assess is the quality of the course I will be responsible for later on—and of course, when I present it to your professor about some flashy wizard or misconduct, I hope that you will be impartial and will not let me down. ”

Umbridge glanced at the old man beside him, with a bit of flattery and a deeply hidden jealousy.

As the wisest wizard in the wizarding world today, Albus Dumbledore was terrifying.

This kind of layout, which is difficult for ordinary people to achieve, is like a "bright card" royal road proposal that cannot be refused like the noon sun, even if the Ministry of Magic knows that it may become the target of public criticism, but in the face of this temptation and sincerity, they can't give birth to the slightest anger in their hearts.

Dumbledore let out a long sigh after glancing at the senior deputy minister of the Ministry of Magic with a respectful look.

Are you expecting all of this? Elena Kaslana.

Something like this clever manipulation of minds and politics, oh no, it was almost an art, something he would never have mastered, and she was an infinite number more dangerous than Grindelwald.

Elena Kaslana, the demon king who has not yet grown up, is really terrifying.
