At Ivan's inquiry, Umbridge was quick to explain.

Three days earlier, as she was passing by the foyer, she had overheard a few students talking about the assembly, and out of curiosity, she stopped them for questioning.

"At first, these obnoxious imps weren't going to tell the truth, but after I threatened to tell their parents about it and expel them all, they revealed everything about that rally......

Umbridge said with some smugness, and the movements of his hands did not stop, and the black quill pen kept writing and drawing on the parchment, but strangely, the handwriting on the parchment was blood red.

And every time Umbridge slid a stroke on it, the back of her pen would open flesh, and the same scratch would appear, and after the small half of the paper was written, the scratch on the back of the hand had been connected, and it was faintly printed with "Abide by the School Rules and Discipline".

But this small injury did not interfere with Umbridge's interest in speaking, or the pinprick tingling sensation made her more and more excited.

Listening to Umbridge's story, Ivan nodded, it seemed that the situation was a little better than he imagined, it was not that someone took the initiative to contact Umbridge to report him, but someone accidentally overheard Umbridge when they were talking.

As for the little ghosts who revealed the information of the assembly, Ivan didn't blame them, after all, they were all underage wizards, and they couldn't stand the scare, and the average student was still very afraid of dropping out of school and calling their parents......

Umbridge was still talking. "After learning that there was an illegal student organization in the school, I reported the matter to the Ministry of Magic, and Minister Fudge thought that it must be Dumbledore's backing, so he held an impromptu meeting to pass the Education Order Twenty-Four, and asked me to investigate the matter thoroughly......"

"So, does the Ministry of Magic already know?" Ivan touched his chin and muttered to himself.

Last time, after discovering that the so-called "interest group" had more than 100 members, he guessed that this matter must be impossible to hide.

It's just that Ivan didn't expect to be exposed so quickly, he originally thought that Umbridge wouldn't notify Fudge so quickly.

Fortunately, Dumbledore helped him carry the pot......

Ivan thought for a while, quickly noticed, and immediately spoke. "Well, so be it, Umbridge...... The next time you go back, tell Fudge that this illegal student organization is indeed related to Dumbledore. ”

"But this old slippery head is very careful, you can't catch his handle for the time being, you will be startled, you need some time to collect evidence, remember?" Ivan looked at Umbridge and commanded solemnly.

Ivan didn't plan to go toe-to-toe with the Ministry of Magic until the preparations were completed, and it was the right thing to do to avoid trouble for the time being.

Of course, this time will not be too long, according to the latest information he has received, Voldemort can't wait, and within a month, there is a best time to make a move against the Ministry of Magic......

Umbridge did not dare to disobey Ivan's orders, and took them to heart.

"If Minister of Magic Fudge dies, who will be next?" Ivan asked suddenly.

Umbridge was stunned, unable to pay attention to Ivan's meaning, but still thought about it under the control of the Imperius Curse, and replied.

"Most likely, it will be Rufus Scrimgeur, the head of the Auror office, who is currently the most popular candidate for the next minister, and of course the director of the executive department, Piers Hinkenes, also has a chance to ......"

"Rufus and Pierce?" Ivan touched his chin, thinking about the two men's information in his mind.

None of them seem to be easy characters to deal with, they are all resistance factions in the original plane, and they have not surrendered to Voldemort, so they are naturally unlikely to take refuge in themselves.

Neither of them did well, Rufus was tortured to death, and Pierce was controlled by the Imperius Curse to become a puppet minister.

While he could learn from Voldemort to use the Imperius Curse to forcibly control a Minister of Magic, it wasn't a long-term solution......

Just as Ivan was thinking, Umbridge suddenly pointed at himself with a whimsical gesture.

"There are ...... others who can be the Minister of Magic And me! ”

Her current position is a senior deputy minister of the Ministry of Magic, and she naturally has the qualifications to serve as the Minister of Magic, but her foundation is shallow, and there are not many people willing to support her, so she is not a popular candidate.

It is based on this that she is willing to become Fudge's pawn against Dumbledore, hoping that after defeating Dumbledore, she can get the full support of Minister Fudge and become the most powerful candidate to succeed the Minister of Magic in the future.

"You...... Or forget it, right? Ivan glanced at Umbridge and thought she was thinking beautifully.

Although in a sense, Umbridge is very suitable, has the possibility of becoming the Minister of Magic, and is a good dogleg who is obedient enough, but Ivan does not have any good feelings for her, and it is really a bit embarrassing to choose her as the minister.

After Ivan made it clear that he refused, Umbridge was somewhat disappointed.

It's just that Ivan didn't bother to pay attention to her mood changes, and then asked for information from the Ministry of Magic.

Under the control of the Imperius Curse, Umbridge did not dare to hide anything and confided everything she knew, as the senior deputy minister of the Ministry of Magic, she knew most of the Ministry's secrets.

"You mean, the Ministry of Magic also has an anti-illusion alchemy circle?" Ivan asked curiously after listening to Umbridge's story.

"Yes, Mr. Hals, but only in case of emergency." Umbridge replied with a very deferential remark.

"For example, during the last wizarding war, the Ministry of Magic opened the alchemy circle of anti-apparition and sealed off all the fireplaces, and combined with the protective circle within the Ministry of Magic, the headquarters was built into an insurmountable fortress...... Withstood several attacks from the Mystery. ”

"Is it any wonder that Voldemort was reluctant to attack the Ministry of Magic because he tried in the last war and suffered some dark losses and failed to enter it?" Ivan's eyes showed a bit of understanding.

In the original plane, after Dumbledore's death, Voldemort had no rivals to compete with him.

But even so, this cruel Dark Lord did not mean to lead people to attack the Ministry of Magic directly, but chose to corrupt and control the high-ranking officials of the Ministry of Magic around the bend and indirectly control this place.

Ivan had always thought that Voldemort was as reluctant to increase subsequent management costs as he was, but now it seems that the Ministry of Magic's protective circle does have merit, at least it will make Voldemort feel that it is not suitable to be touched.

Since it is not easy to attack from the outside, it can only begin to disintegrate from the inside, and it is also in harmony with him......
