Ministry of Magic.

The most central area.

"Da Da Da ......"

There was a crisp sound of small sandals tapping on the floor.

The owner of the voice slowly appeared.

I saw that she was short and fat, with short taupe hair with a fist, and a very ugly pink bow on it, which matched the fluffy pink cardigan she wore over her robe, as well as a frilly skirt, a small and cute pink handbag, pink girly high heels, and even a magic wand was pink.

A pale, toad-like face and a pair of eyes with droopy eyelids and bulging eyeballs.

But she is obviously very ugly, but she still thinks that she is a beautiful girl, holding her head high, more like a clown who makes people laugh.

A pair of young witches and wizards were talking and laughing from the other side of the hallway.

Seeing this dazzling pink figure from a distance, he immediately stopped his voice.

Proceed cautiously.

As the three of them passed by, the two young wizards bowed slightly, and said with some nervousness, "Hello, Deputy Minister Umbridge." ”

"Hmm. Umbridge thought he was reserved, but in fact he just looked up arrogantly and nodded in response.

Umbridge glanced at the young and beautiful wizard, jealous of her youthful beauty, and silently noted that the badge on her chest belonged to the Ministry of Justice, and was ready to find an opportunity to kick her out of the Ministry of Magic.

......

Umbridge was seen squirming towards the minister's office.

The sorceress asked curiously, "What do you say about this old witch?"

The wizard shook his head, "I don't know, but I think she's one of the few idiots in the Ministry of Magic." ”

The sorceress asked, "How?"

The wizard smiled: "Everyone knows that she used to be Minister Fuji's person, but Minister Dumbledore has been in power for so long, she didn't even say anything, and thought that she was the same as before, high up and independent of the power struggle." Our office is laughing at Umbridge's IQ, she is now holding the title of deputy minister, and she has long lost any rights, but she doesn't know it. ”

......

Umbridge stood outside Minister Dumbledore's office, confidently thinking about the plan in his head, coughing twice and clearing his throat.

"Dangdang......" she said as she knocked on the office door and said in a sweet, goosebump-inducing voice, "Albus, I'm Dolores." ”

"Come in. Dumbledore's deep voice came from inside the room.

Umbridge pushed the door open and walked in with a smile on his face.

Dumbledore was on business, he looked up, his blue glasses glowing, "Umbridge, what's the matter?"

Umbridge smirked and said in a sharp, thin voice like a little girl, "Albus, I have an idea. ”

Dumbledore stopped his pen and listened to her.

Umbridge coughed, "According to previous Ministry of Magic policy, educating young wizards was a very important matter. Some of their innate and valuable talents can be fruitless if they are not nurtured and exercised under careful and meticulous guidance. Ancient skills unique to the wizarding world must be passed down from generation to generation, or they will be lost. The precious repositories of magical knowledge accumulated by our ancestors must be protected, supplemented and perfected by those who have had the privilege of pursuing a noble profession of education. ”

Listening to Umbridge speak in a serious manner, Dumbledore's eyebrows raised in surprise.

Umbridge saw that Dumbledore, who had always been calm, had such a big reaction, and thought that he had spoken to his heart.

She looked at Dumbledore and first boasted, "The headmasters of Hogwarts have been innovative in their responsibilities in managing this historic school, especially in the decades that you have been the headmaster of Hogwarts. Innovation and reform must be continuous, because if there is no progress, it will stagnate and decay. At the same time, however, progress for the sake of progress should never be encouraged, and our traditions are tempered and often do not need to be poorly revised. To strike a balance between the old and the new, between permanence and change, between tradition and innovation......"

It is estimated that most people are confused when they hear this misty nonsense, but as cunning as Dumbledore, he vaguely guessed Umbridge's true intentions.

He gently put down the quill, crossed his fingers, sat upright, listened attentively, and seemed to say: You say, I listen.

Umbridge seemed to be greatly encouraged, she puffed out her chest, coughed, and continued: "Because some changes work well, while others are found to be mistakes in decision-making when the time is right. At the same time, there are old habits that will be preserved, which is understandable, and there are habits that are obsolete and must be abandoned. We should keep moving forward and enter a new era of enlightenment, efficiency and reasonableness, resolutely maintaining what should be maintained, perfecting what needs to be perfected, and discarding those ...... that we should prohibit"

Dumbledore smiled, "Umbridge, if I'm not mistaken, you mean that the Ministry of Magic should interfere in the management of the Ministry of Magic at Hogwarts?"

"That's right. Umbridge smiled with a toad-like eyeball. Very sharp teeth are exposed.

"When you were at Hogwarts, Hogwarts was always at peace. But after you leave, I think it's a good choice to let the Ministry of Magic intervene in Hogwarts, which is the largest school of witchcraft and wizardry in the world, and it is bound to be a big problem if it is not controlled by the Ministry of Magic. ”

Dumbledore said, "What do you think is the best way to deal with it?"

Umbridge coughed, as if she had already thought of an answer, and said, "How about creating a new position - Hogwarts High Inquisitor, stationed at Hogwarts." ”

Dumbledore didn't react much, but said softly, "Then what do you think this senior inquisitor needs to do?"

Umbridge said excitedly: "Since you represent the Ministry of Magic, your status is naturally transcendent. It is not under the jurisdiction of the Headmaster of Hogwarts, and can issue decrees on behalf of the Ministry of Magic to supervise all professors and students. Professors can be reviewed for qualifications to teach at Hogwarts, and have the right to make decisions about whether they are expelled or left from the school, and the Headmaster cannot intervene. If anyone ignores the Inquisitor's orders, they can even be handed over to the Auror Office and imprisoned in the Wizard's Prison. ”

"That's right......" Dumbledore stood up from his desk, thoughtful.

"Seems like a good idea, but who is going to take on the responsibility?" Dumbledore wandered around the room.

He looked up, looked down, and muttered to himself, "Alastor Moody, no, he annoys those imps to death, and the last time he asked him to be a Defence Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts, he refused." Sirius Black? No, although he had fought against Voldemort in the same camp as the Ministry, he was never a regular member of the Ministry. Arthur?? Well, that's a good candidate, he's a good guy, but he has other important responsibilities that he can't afford to leave to work as a Senior Inquisitor at Hogwarts......"

Every time a name popped out of Dumbledore's mouth, Umbridge's face turned pale, and when Dumbledore gave up the choice, Umbridge returned to normal, and the cycle repeated.

"Ahem, cough, cough, ......"

Umbridge coughed incessantly, as if to suggest something.

Dumbledore finally noticed Umbridge, and he asked with concern, "Umbridge, are you unwell?"

Umbridge looked stiff: "No, I'm fine. ”

She had thought that she would propose the job after she finished her idea, but Dumbledore didn't give her a chance to start talking to herself, and she didn't have a chance to interject.

Suddenly, Dumbledore's eyes lit up, he stared at Umbridge firmly, and said in surprise: "Umbridge, how did I forget you." ”

Happiness came too quickly, and Umbridge hadn't reacted yet.

But Dumbledore suddenly wondered: "No, this can't be." ”

"Why not!" said Umbridge, hurrying.

Dumbledore said, "Because you are now a deputy minister, and you are given such an important position as the High Inquisitor at Hogwarts, you know, those people in the ministry have any virtues, and they will be jealous of you and will not approve of my decision." There are also the Hogwarts trustees, they don't want someone to step on their heads all of a sudden, their influence on the Ministry of Magic cannot be underestimated, and trying to get them to agree is not an easy thing to do. ”

"Well......" Dumbledore mused, "but it's not absolutely impossible, if you step down from the post of Deputy Minister of Magic first, I think the ministers of the various departments will not have too much opinion, and the school board will not see you as a huge threat and resist you too much." ”

Dumbledore patted the fat and short Umbridge on the shoulder, and said seriously, "Umbridge, this is a very heavy burden, now I put the choice in your hands, no matter what you do, I support it." ”

Umbridge's face changed from one to another, and finally he said firmly, "I'm willing to go to Hogwarts." ”

Dumbledore smiled, "That's good. Rest assured, it won't take me half a month to convince those school directors that they have to accept the 'Hogwarts High Inquisitor' appointed by the Ministry of Magic. ”

In the end, Umbridge walked away satisfied.

She felt she had made the right move, and she should have done it a long time ago, the moment Dumbledore became Minister for Magic.

It was impossible for her not to know that she had been marginalized in the Ministry of Magic, but there was nothing she could do.

So she hit the idea elsewhere.

That's Hogwarts.

She saw that when Dumbledore intended to become Minister for Magic, the responders were crowded.

This is the result of his teaching at Hogwarts for most of his life, and his reputation is unmatched, so he responds to every call.

So, since the Ministry of Magic can't stay there, it's better to go to Hogwarts and lurk.

Once she's engraved her brand on Hogwarts, will she be able to follow the path Dumbledore has walked again?

That's the perfect plan for Umbridge.

Dumbledore, you hurry up and die, if you die, I will be on the throne.
