After afternoon tea, in the office of the Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge.

Dolores Umbridge, Senior Deputy Secretary of the Ministry of Magic, Amelia Bones, Director of the Law Enforcement Division, Cuthbert Mokridge, Director of the Elven Liaison Office, John Delix, Deputy Director of the Auror Office, and other trusted officials of the Ministry of Magic gathered together to casually chat about what had happened in the wizarding world recently.

In the past month, not only has the situation in the non-magical world been turbulent, but all kinds of rumors in the magical world have also been flying in the sky, and Gringotts has warned the Ministry of Magic about the impending run last week.

On the other hand, the rumors of the return of the mysterious man also made Cornelius Fudge feel particularly troubled, in fact, the most powerful response was that Albus Dumbledore was able to stand in front of the stage and help the Ministry of Magic stabilize public opinion, but due to the mortgage conspiracy involved in Hogwarts half a year ago, Dumbledore has not been very willing to speak out in public recently.

If it weren't for the fact that it was related to the teaching reform of Hogwarts next school year, Cornelius Fudge even wondered if Dumbledore was planning to completely cut off contact with the outside world during this time, away from all the turmoil of the non-wizarding world and the wizarding world, and stay in the peaceful Hogwarts castle wholeheartedly, teaching the lively little ones.

"Introduce some non-magical basic subjects into the Hogwarts curriculum as a minor and pre-foundation course for some magical courses, and apply for the establishment of a faculty and staff family area in Hogsmeade Village around Hogwarts to meet the daily accommodation and living needs of faculty and staff hired from the non-magical world......"

Cornelius Fudge's thick fingers tapped on the desk, pinched the letter of application sent by Dumbledore, read it again, looked around the office of his cronies, and asked thoughtfully.

"What do you think Professor Albus Dumbledore is trying to do......"

"Clearly, Professor Dumbledore has always had a different interest in Muggle-born, or Muggle-blooded young wizards, and this educational reform is clearly a signal to the current state of the wizarding world, and he wants to further increase the ratio of half-blood wizards to Mudbloods, just as he has been secretly doing before, but this time in a different way. ”

Dolores Umbridge put down the teacup in his hand and replied sharply, a slightly oozing smirk appeared on his pale and drooping face, and after carefully observing Fudge's expression, he continued unhurriedly.

"I won't comment on Professor Dumbledore's philosophy for the time being, but purely from this matter, after thinking about it carefully these days, I don't think it's completely unacceptable, but I have to reconsider the pros and cons. ”

In fact, as the descendants of pure-blood wizard families, the vast majority of wizards in the Ministry of Magic are inclined to the "bloodline theory", so as soon as they received Dumbledore's follow-up expression, Cornelius Fudge and the others directly chose to put the delaying policy on hold for the time being...... This delay is nearly three months, from Christmas to now.

However, since Cornelius Fudge brought up the matter again at this time, it means that his attitude has changed again.

As Cornelius Fudge's closest deputy, Umbridge was naturally the most keenly aware of Fudge's thoughts, and quickly understood what the Minister of Magic was hesitating about in connection with what Fudge had said a few days ago and what Fudge had said before.

"The curriculum at Hogwarts has always been slowly added over time, and the sudden addition of courses is a huge test for both the wizarding world and the school...... As things stand, it would take up most of Professor Dumbledore's energy, leaving him no longer interested in the problems that are happening in the wizarding world......"

Umbridge said slowly, glancing at Cornelius Fudge, who nodded slowly, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

"Admittedly, we don't know much about some of the courses in the non-magical world, but Professor Dumbledore has provided a detailed teaching improvement report some time ago, explaining the connection between most of the introduced teaching content and the existing magic curriculum, and Minister Fudge and I both feel that there is some truth after reading it. ”

Contrary to previous general and cursory communications, a week ago Albus Dumbledore wrote a long letter detailing the teaching reforms he planned to carry out in the future, as well as the subjects involved.

Of course, the most important thing is that Dumbledore implicitly stated in the letter that if the Ministry of Magic can support his educational reform plan, then he can also cooperate with the Ministry of Magic to carry out a series of public opinion pacification efforts before devoting himself to teaching in the new year, which can be said to be unprecedented in the previous negotiations.

In the face of Dumbledore's initiative, even if Cornelius Fudge was reluctant, he could not continue to put it on hold.

Not to mention, Dumbledore's transformation happened to be the stabilizer he and the Ministry of Magic needed the most at this time.

Of course, this kind of secret exchange of favors is naturally not suitable for the table, and they need a more reasonable reason to convince other officials of the Ministry of Magic who represent the interests of the majority of pure-blood wizards, as well as the original concept of the wizarding world.

To Umbridge and Fudge's please, Professor Dumbledore had already found a reason - or rather, Albus Dumbledore had been thinking as an educator all along, which undoubtedly made Cornelius Fudge, the current Minister of Magic, feel more at ease.

"Details of the new version of the education reform, do Muggles have any knowledge needed to learn magic?"

Amelia Bones, director of the Law Enforcement Division, frowned and looked at Umbridge with some confusion.

Umbridge glanced at Cornelius Fudge, saw the wizard nod, smiled and pulled out his wand and tapped it lightly on the blank table, and the common subject names appeared on it, along with a few textual explanations.

"According to Professor Dumbledore's thoughts, it's not a new core course as we imagined before, but more often than not, it's actually a neglect of various magical families in preschool education, and the unified minor in general knowledge, popularizing a little bit of Muggle knowledge, is mainly for the purpose of learning magic. ”

"For example, this mathematics course is just about the knowledge of some number symbol learning and simple number calculation, which is also a supplementary teaching plan for students in astronomy, arithmetic divination and other courses. ”

"For example, this chemistry class is actually mainly to teach students what is wood, what is steel, what is stone, and how to use glassware correctly...... The main reason is that before this, there were indeed many problems in the Potions class and the Transfiguration class, for example, the professor asked to conjure a bronze button, but some students didn't know what the bronze looked like, or they were clumsy and caused a lot of unnecessary trouble in the Potions class......"

"Oh, and this physics class, but it's just a little bit of a superficial knowledge of how to boil water......"
