Chapter 150: Red Face and White Face
In fact, this is a very ordinary sentence, and it is only a basic statement of purpose.
Even, this can be a little better, and the matter can be completely solved in the middle of a joke.
However, the pink toad named Umbridge completely ruined the irreparable situation.
Her attitude was anything but businesslike, and her pretentious attitude had provoked the instinctive discomfort of the Hogwarts students.
"What kind of person is this?"
"Does Professor Dumbledore need to be close to you!"
As the strongest wizard in the world, Dumbledore, who has saved the wizarding world head-on, has many stories and legends, and children today have heard some stories about him.
These little fans will never allow their idols to be slandered like this.
In their eyes, Dumbledore was the best in the world!
"If Professor Dumbledore had been willing to take on the role of Minister of Magic, where would it be the turn of these people to be arrogant."
As Connor was watching, he heard his friend say something like this.
It was Ernie, who was looking indignant.
Seeing his appearance, Connor just reluctantly spoke:
"Professor Dumbledore is not going to be Minister of Magic...... When hell freezes over. ”
"I know that the professor is already old no matter what, and a school has already bothered him to work hard, and there is no reason to add any burden to him."
Ernie thinks so.
However, the reason here is not so simple.
"Don't measure a wizard by sheer age......"
"What did you say?"
For a moment, Connor's voice seemed to be a little softer, and Ernie didn't fully hear it.
But Connor didn't want to repeat it.
"Nothing."
Turning his gaze back to the elderly headmaster on the throne, Connor just stared at his peaceful smile.
No one would have thought that the white-haired old man was by no means as indifferent to fame and fortune as they thought.
The position of Minister of Magic was not just a life experience for him, but a real sense of power - which was exactly what he wanted to avoid.
He can accept admiration, he can accept all kinds of honors, but he has always avoided his real power.
Because he's afraid of that authority.
Even the position of Minister of Magic does not necessarily mean that he can control the entire British wizarding world, but he is reluctant to start in this regard.
Connor felt that he could understand the conservative thinking of this old man who had been through the world to a certain extent, but seeing this scene, he still wanted to ask:
"Do you regret it?"
The sound was so soft that few could hear it.
"This should have been avoided."
Even Ernie and Cedric, who were very close, could only faintly hear certain sounds, and even the direction of the sound was difficult to discern.
But the old legendary wizard seemed to notice.
Straightening up, his elder-like soft gaze easily glanced at the students below.
Then, the eyes of an old man and a young man met.
Connor could clearly see the old man smiling, as if to reassure and explain.
"I can fix it."
Dumbledore was conveying that meaning.
Then, he spoke:
"Please be quiet, children."
The headmaster's prestige made his words the only voice.
Just when the students were completely silent, his gaze slowly fell on the Minister of Magic's party.
"Fire dragons, huh? Actually, I'm trying to explain ......"
"You admit that Hogwarts illegally raised dragons?!"
Before the old headmaster could say anything, the woman named Umbridge came up with a hat.
And this time, someone finally scolded her:
"Shut up! Stand down! ”
To the surprise of most people, it was the Minister of Magic, Fudge, who spoke.
Under his reprimand, the pink toad, who was still arrogant, suddenly suppressed his voice and retreated like a chicken with its neck choked.
She can ignore her days at Hogwarts, and she can be arrogant to dictate to anyone in Hogwarts.
But in the eyes of such a lawless person, a person like Fudge must not be offended.
"Humph......"
Seeing Umbridge's bowed head, Fudge didn't care about her anymore.
After straightening his hat slightly, he smiled kindly.
"There are some things that can't be ...... Albus, other people's reports have already been sent to me, and I can't turn a blind eye to this kind of thing. ”
"Of course I understand you, Connelly, but there's no way to negotiate this kind of thing here, and you've interrupted the children's breakfast time."
After brushing over these seemingly unimportant matters, Headmaster Dumbledore reached out.
"Let's talk as we go."
So, the headmaster left with the people from the Ministry of Magic.
He walked in front of him alone, looking like he was strolling leisurely, while the otherwise imposing members of the Ministry of Magic followed him.
Even the Minister of Magic had to take a half-step back, not in the slightest to stand alongside the old Headmaster.
In the end, the whole auditorium also returned to its original calm, but the children's minds were finally involved in the departure of the principal.
"These guys from the Ministry of Magic...... It's not going to be a reproduction of Halloween again, is it? ”
Justin couldn't help but grumble.
"At least the Minister of Magic doesn't look so stupid."
Ernie was looking for solace in the worst of circumstances.
"Although I don't know why Minister Fudge had such a fool with him, that pink woman was as annoying as a toad, and she didn't have any brains."
But before he could continue to complain and insult, a calm and strange inquiry came to his ears:
"Do you really think that woman has no brains?"
"Huh?"
"If you're a fool, you wouldn't have climbed to that position."
When I had followed the headmaster away, the woman named Umbridge was standing in an interesting position.
She was right behind Fudge, more advanced than the strikers, the experts of the Magical Beasts Management and Control Division, which said a lot about her status.
"Then you mean ......"
"Do you believe it, that woman's previous behavior was all within the permission of our Minister of Magic?"
"That means ......"
"The Ministry of Magic is not good, the fire dragon or something, this is actually not the end at all, the focus is on what the Ministry of Magic itself has to do."
With that casually speaking, Connor casually ate his portion of the sandwich.
Then he shifted his gaze to Gryffindor.
Harry and Ron's expressions were clearly not very good-looking.
"Professor Dumbledore......"
