Moody took a leave of absence longer than anyone else thought, and it was about a month before he returned to Hogwarts.

On Friday night, while everyone was enjoying dinner, the door of the auditorium was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and Moody limped in with a gloomy face.

Although Moody's usual expression is also very serious, and it can even be said that it is a little scary, today everyone can still see at a glance that he is in a bad mood.

The face full of scars was tense, and the magic eyes in the eye sockets did not stop, and they were quickly looking at everyone around them.

Seeing this situation, some students who originally wanted to say hello to him also dispelled this idea and sat there honestly, not even daring to look at Moody's.

"Kyle, guess what's going on." At the long Hufflepuff table, Cedric whispered, "It's the first time I've seen Professor Moody so angry." ”

"I don't know." Kyle shook his head, "But I guess it has something to do with what happened in the Ministry of Magic lately. ”

He glanced at the Daily Prophet at hand.

In the position of the front page of the newspaper, there is a line of eye-catching headlines.

[Former Deputy Director of the Law Enforcement Division of the Ministry of Magic, Dolores Jane Umbridge was transferred to the Minister's Office as Senior Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Magic]

Unlike the few words he had made when Crouch was reported a month ago, the new deputy secretary of Umbridge was a man who occupied the front page of the newspaper.

It details her past exploits and contributions to the Ministry of Magic.

Most of them Kyle didn't even look at, just glanced at them and ignored them, except for the last one that caught his attention.

It says that Umbridge thinks that the Aurors are too powerful and should ban the use of some of the spells that were powerful in the past, such as the Demolition Charm.

In addition, she also said that the Aurors were too loose before, and they should all be under the minister's office like the strikers, instead of being directly led by the Auror office as they are now.

Looking at the time, this is a proposal that appeared half a month ago, and at the end it was marked pending, apparently still under discussion, and it was not adopted or vetoed.

Professor Moody's must have taken so long to come back because of this.

If so, it's no wonder he's so angry.

The Aurors and Strikers are two different divisions, with the Aurors dealing primarily with notorious dark wizards, whose missions are more sinister, and each mission is even a dance on the tip of a knife.

Once you are forbidden to use more powerful spells, you can imagine the consequences.

Moreover, being redeployed in the minister's office meant that the Aurors had to add an extra formality to each action, which would also greatly reduce their efficiency.

Sometimes, especially in an emergency, an extra second of delay can make things worse.

Moody was retired, but there was no way he could watch the Ministry of Magic send the Aurors to his death.

Fudge is overinflated, this outrageous proposal was not rejected at the first time.

Other countries are trying to improve the treatment of the Aurors in order to attract more talent, and he is good, but he wants to do the opposite.

Kyle could guess a little, he probably wanted to take the Auror office into his own hands, but it was a bit stupid to do so.

If this is seen by people in other countries, then ......

Well, in fact people from other countries have seen it.

Fleur sneered at the newspaper.

While Kyle wasn't sure if she was laughing because of the news, there didn't seem to be much else in the newspaper today.

And on the other side of the Slytherin table, Krum did not eat without saying a word, as before, but chatted and laughed with the other Durmstrang students in Bulgarian.

And he also has a copy of the Daily Prophet at hand.

Kyle shook his head helplessly.

It seems that Sirius is right, and the absence of Crouch is really not a good thing for the Ministry of Magic.

But he didn't have to worry about that, Dumbledore wouldn't let that go through.

Kyle glanced in the direction of the teacher's seat, where Dumbledore was talking to Moody, his face equally serious.

……

The next morning.

When Kyle arrived at the Headmaster's office on the eighth floor as usual, he didn't see Dumbledore here...... I guess he's going to the Ministry of Magic.

Kyle had thought of the situation before he arrived, so he only waited in the principal's office for ten minutes before getting up and leaving.

It's not bad to take a week off once in a while, and it's Hogsmeade Week, and after more than a month of pumpkin juice, Kyle is ready to go to Three Broomsticks and order a cold Butterbeer.

After leaving the eighth floor, Kyle meets Sirius and Harry in the foyer, and looks like they're about to head outside.

"Kyle?" Sirius was a little surprised, "You don't need to learn spells from Professor Dumbledore today?" ”

While most of the students didn't know about it, the professors knew it, and Sirius even had the cheekiness to go to the principal's office for a class.

It's just that he only lasted ten minutes that day, and then left without looking back.

I don't understand, I don't understand at all.

Those complicated magic formulas made him look like a head or two, and he didn't choose the ancient runiwen course when he was in school, and the few little knowledge reserves he had had almost forgotten in the past twelve years.

"What, Kyle is studying spells with Professor Dumbledore?" Harry, who had heard this for the first time, asked with some surprise in his tone, and there was still some envy in his tone.

That's Dumbledore, the greatest wizard of the century, and he must have learned a lot from being the professor.

"That's right...... Well, for the Triwizard Tournament. Sirius blinked, then whispered, "Remember not to tell anyone else." ”

"No problem, I'll keep it a secret." Harry put away the envy in his heart and nodded repeatedly.

He was still thinking about telling Ron and Hermione, but since Sirius said so, he should wait a little longer.

When the secret is told at the beginning of the third project, their expressions must be wonderful.

Harry looked at Kyle and said, "So you've learned it now?" I really hope you can win the championship. ”

"Learned? It's still early. Kyle said, "Professor Dumbledore isn't at school today, I'm going to go and drink something from the three brooms, what about you......"

"It just so happens that we're going to Hogsmeade too." Sirius smiled and said, "Remus is there too, if you don't have anything else to do, would you like to go along?" ”

"Professor Lupin? Absolutely. Kyle nodded.

It's been a long time since he's seen Lupin, the former Defence Against the Dark Arts professor.

Looking at Sirius, it occurred to Kyle that he had taken Lupin's class...... It can only be said that they are good friends, and even their work is the same.

I just don't know if Sirius will be able to retire from this position like Lupin at the end of this school year.

One thing to say, in the past few years, Lupin's ending has been the best, although his identity as a werewolf was exposed, and he could only be forced to resign, but he did not suffer any substantial damage.

This alone is already more than 99% of colleagues.
