In fact, Percy's letter did not take them to heart, maybe in Percy's eyes, they had a big problem, but in their eyes, Percy was not like this.

Inevitably, though, writing a letter can give rise to some absurd ideas.

Sirius's communications, however, did allow everyone to recover from this state.

Sirius still brought some good news, at least, some of the influx of dark wizards in Britain has been alleviated, however, this is also the emergence of Voldemort who has not yet said that it is really coming, and on the Norwegian side, the vampire convergence has also made the Ministry of Magic a partial success, which is probably what will be reported in the next two days, but this is not the focus of tomorrow's Daily Prophet.

However, Sirius doesn't seem to be planning to stay in the Ministry of Magic, which has enough Kingsley, Tonks, and Weasley Sr., and it's important to wait for the yellow mission now.

Either way, Sirius's message made Harry calm, at least, a good night's sleep was necessary, it wasn't that they still got it to 12 o'clock, and it was only after Verlin had joined the steps of the revision homework, Hermione alone was too slow.

The next day, they pored over Hermione's Daily Prophet, hoping to find what Percy had mentioned in the letter.

However, before she could remove the owl stains from the top of the milk jug, Hermione gasped and flattened the newspaper to reveal a picture of Dolores Jane Umbridge.

And at this moment, Umbridge was winking at them with a smile under the headline.

"The government is exploring educational reform, Dolores Jane Umbridge is appointed as the first senior prosecutor"

Umbridge ?...... High Prosecutor?" Harry's face darkened, and half-eaten toast slipped between his fingers, "What does that mean?"

Hermione read aloud, "A surprising change, last night the Ministry of Magic passed new legislation to strengthen the management of magic in Hogwarts schools"

"The Minister has been deeply disturbed by the changes that have taken place at Hogwarts for some time," said Percy Weasley, a young assistant to the Minister, "and many parents are unhappy with these changes in the school, and the Minister has begun to react to the situation. ”

"In recent weeks, Minister Cornelius Fudge has been influencing the improvement of magic schools by introducing new legislation, and this is not the first time that this has happened. The Education Decree No. 22, recently issued on 3 August, is intended to ensure that if the current principal cannot find a suitable candidate, the minister will personally select the right person to take on the role."

"That's why Dolores Jane Umbridge was able to be appointed as a member of the Hogwarts staff," Van Lin continued, "and Dumbledore couldn't find a suitable person, so the Minister arranged for Umbridge, and of course, her job was fruitful——。 ”

Reading this, Van Lin completely gave up the idea of reading, he had read those letters before, and they were all letters, only more complete.

She ...... How ???," Harry said aloud.

"Don't bother, there's more to it. Hermione said solemnly. "—Very productive, in general, in addition to teaching Defence Against the Dark Arts lessons, while also providing the Minister with first-hand information about Hogwarts students. This is the latest function acquired by the Ministry of Magic through the enactment of the Twenty-Three Education Act, which creates a new position - the High Prosecutor of Hogwarts. ”

"This is an exciting new phase in the Minister's plan to make corrections to what people in Hogwarts school feel is lowering standards," Percy Weasley continued, "and the prosecutor will have the right to check her fellow professors to make sure they meet the standards." At the moment, Professor Umbridge seems to be up to the task, and we are pleased to see that she is also very popular. ”

This latest change to the Ministry of Magic has garnered a strong response from parents of current Hogwarts students.

"My mind can easily feel that Dumbledore is being evaluated fairly and objectively. "Over the past few years, most of us, as well as our children, have been concerned about Dumbledore's bizarre decisions, and now the happy Ministry of Magic is beginning to take them seriously, mainly in the form of previously controversial staff hirings, including Lupin the Werewolf, Hagrid with giant blood, and the mad predecessor Auror, Moody." Rumours are rife, of course, that Dumbledore, once the greatest wizard of the International Federation and the head of the International Confederation of Wizards, is no longer qualified to be the headmaster of the prestigious Hogwarts school."

An internal Ministry of Magic official revealed yesterday that "I think the installation of the Prosecutor is the first step in ensuring that the actions of the Headmaster of Hogwarts allow us to relax", and that veteran wizards Sirius, Black, and Grandini have resigned in protest against the installation of the Prosecutor at Hogwarts.

"Hogwarts is a school, it's not an outpost of Cones Fudge's office!" said Mrs. Merreby, "and this is a disgusting attempt to distrust Dundebland" (for a detailed account of Ms. McRebe, a group of clowns engaged in subversive activities, turn to page 7)

Hermione finished reading the report and looked over the table at the few of them.

"Now we know why Umbridge is here!Connelly Fudge forced her to supervise us through the Education Act!And now he's giving her the right to supervise other professors!" Hermione's breathing was a little short, and her eyes lit up, "Unbelievable!

"Indeed," Harry said. He looked down at his right hand, which was clutching the top of the table, at the white scars that remained on his skin after Umbridge punished him for writing. However, a toothy grin was unfolding on Ron's face.

"What?" Hermione and Harry said as they stared at him, "Oh, I can't wait to see Professor McGonagall examined," Ron said happily, Umbridge not knowing what he was up against. ”

"Very well, hurry," Hermione said as she jumped up from her chair, "and we'd better hurry up before Umbridge checks Binns' class." However, Professor Ambregie did not check their history of magic lesson...... A boring class on Mondays, and there was no basement where Snape was classing...... There was nothing but a report of Harry seeing his moonstone, a black "d" scrawled like a road spike in a corner of it.

"I'm going to grade you as you would on a graded exam," Snape smirked, his gaze sweeping over them as he looked at the assignments handed in, you should have a realistic idea of what to expect from the exams!

Snape walked to the door of the classroom and turned to face them, "The standard of homework is unpredictable, for most of you will face failure, this is the exam, I think, this will have a huge impact on the report on the diversity of the Venom Antidote, maybe I should start confining the inferior students who have "D's?" he snickered as Malfoy, adding "Some people got 'D's, ha!"

Harry understood, and Hermione was looking over to him, trying to see what rank he had gotten. He put his report on the moonstone into his bag as quickly as he could, so that he could still feel personal in his self-deception. In order not to give Snape any excuse to fail the class, Harry read every instruction on the blackboard at least three times before proceeding.

However, this caution did not make the color exactly like the turquoise of Van Lin's, but it was at least not the pink of Neville's, and when he handed the reagent to Snape's lectern at the end of the lesson, he felt the contempt in Snape's gaze lighten with contempt.

As they came out of the basement, climbing the steps, Hermione said, "Well done, at least not as bad as last week, isn't it?"

"I think next time, Professor Snape will judge you higher, but that's a good thing for you. Van Lin patted Harry on the back, sending a chill down Harry's spine.

"Forget it, I don't want to. Harry said, quickening his pace.

Van Lin and Hermione followed with some reluctance, while Ron had just arrived in a daze.

They made their way to the entrance of the hall, ready for lunch

"Looks like this homework isn't bad, is it?" Hermione said with a word, and neither Ron nor Harry said no, she continued, "I mean, of course, I don't expect to get the highest grades, if he asks for the grades, but if he can pass his requirements, it's a kind of affirmation of his grades, isn't it?"

Harry felt his throat feel uncomfortable.

"Of course, there will be a lot of unforeseen things compared to the actual exam, but we have plenty of time to improve, that is, the level we get now is our benchmark, and we can work on it, right. “

Van Lin looked at the unnatural Harry, but still gave Hermione great affirmation, in the face of such a thing, it should be sold, it was useless.

They sat together at the Gryffindor table.

"Obviously, if I get an 'o', I'm going to be very shaky. Hermione continued to discuss.

"Hermione," Ron said sharply, "if you want to know what rank we've got, just say hello." ”

"I didn't, I mean, well, if you guys can tell me......"

"What I got was...... Uh-huh......" Ron said as he scooped the soup into the bowl with a spoon, "How's it going?"

"But there's nothing to be ashamed of," said George, Jordan, and Fred, who sat to Harry's right, and added, "It's nothing to get a 'p'." ”

"But," Hermione asked rhetorically, "doesn't 'p' mean anything?"

"Poverty, huh?" said Jordan, "but it's much better than 'd', isn't it?

Harry felt his face flush a little and coughed lightly to hide himself, but Hermione was still immersed in the conversation about the wizarding exams.

"That is, the highest rank 'o' stands for 'outstanding,'" she said, "and the latter ''——..."

"No, the 'e'," corrected George, "the 'e' stands for 'out of expectation,' and Fred and I often get 'e's in every way, because we always make test scores feel like expectations." ”

Except for the hard-working Hermione, everyone else was amused.

"That means the 'e' is followed by the 'a', which means 'barely acceptable' and is the last grade, right?" Hermione said.

"Of course," Fred replied, turning the bowl and carefully sipping the hot soup. "If you have a 'p' for 'poverty,'" Ron raised his arms to imitate, "'d' stands for 'terrible'?"

"And,' reminded him.

"'t'?" Hermione asked, a little puzzled, "is there anything lower than 'd'?" and what does 't' represent?"

"Sing loudly. George said quickly. Harry was amused, and although he wasn't sure if George was joking, he imagined hiding his 't' from Hermione on the graded exam, but he immediately made up his mind to work hard from now on.

"Have you been inspected by the senior prosecutor?" Fred then asked. "No," Hermione replied immediately, "what?

"Just now, just before lunch," said George, "magic lesson." ”

"And what did she do?" said Harry and Hermione in unison, and Fred shrugged.

"Nothing, Umbridge just sat in a little corner, taking notes with his pen from time to time, and you know what kind of teacher Flitwick was, he treated her as a guest, and he didn't interfere with his lessons at all, and besides, she didn't ask anything more. I simply asked Lina two questions about the course and told her that the class was very good, and in fact it was, right? ”

"I don't think I'll think I'll think too low about Flitwick," George said, "and he's always made it easy for all of us to pass the exams." ”

"Who's in the afternoon?" Fred asked Harry

"Trauny"

"I see a 't'. ”

"And Umbridge herself, of course"

"Oh, she wouldn't do that, but...... Professor Trauny's style is really hard for people to accept, I suspect Umbridge will take Professor Trauny under the knife, anyway, Harry, you have to pay attention in the afternoon, although she can't move the dean of the house, but these people ......"

Van Lin said with some concern, although Professor Trawney is very unreliable most of the time, but after all, prophecy is not something that can be touched every day, which is not a reliable profession in itself.
