Hogwarts on the Tip of the Tongue - Chapter 1288
Every Monday morning is the most frequent time for owl messengers to visit.
Clearly, Dolores Umbridge wasn’t the only person in the auditorium who subscribed to the Daily Prophet.
Almost everyone is eager to know the latest news. Although many people did not have the habit of reading newspapers before, the “Daily Prophet” will publish the latest issue of the “Hogwarts Acting Principal Candidate” support rate changes.
Everyone wants to know which of the two “alternate acting principals” will have the edge in the new week.
Hermione walked outside the “no-air zone” where Elena was, and received various newspapers one by one from those owl postmen.
Elena, on the other hand, drank orange juice leisurely, enjoying the wonderful performance on the faculty seat with great interest.
“No way, crazy, this guy is crazy—lawless—”
Umbridge’s voice trembled, and he looked gloomily at the wizard on the newspaper cover.
The process of impeachment of a minister at the Ministry of Magic is not so simple to start, which means that at least a quarter of Wizengamore members have defected.
What made her even more incredible was the slogan that Gilderoy Lockhart put forward in the newspaper:
The idealized civilized world – wizards, muggles, half-bloods, aliens, and even all intelligent creatures who can be regarded as “humans” live in equality and harmony, and any discrimination, unequal behavior and regulations – all are madly attacked by Lockhart’s ideas object.
In fact, Lockhart even went so far as to go so far as to quote Grindelwald directly: “For the greater good.”
However, he added a note after this sentence, “Fight for all the good in the world.”
These explosive remarks are obviously what journalists, as well as all sectors of society, love to see.
Especially when Lockhart successfully launched the impeachment, and also made a high-profile announcement that he intends to run for the next Minister of Magic.
“What the **** is going on, are those guys from Wizengamoor crazy…”
Umbridge opened the newspaper impatiently, trying to figure out what was going on outside.
Whether it’s the Minister for Magic’s impeachment, or Lockhart’s wild remarks, when they hit the newspapers, it means something’s not going well.
Just then, another owl landed in front of her with a brown envelope in its mouth.
“Why is there another letter—”
Umbridge looked up and glanced at the recipient’s name and address.
【Hogwarts School】
【hall】
[Dolores Umbridge]
At this time, why would anyone send her a letter on their own initiative?
She frowned, raised her hand and was about to take the envelope, but three, four, five owls flapped their wings and landed next to her.
The six owls were squeezing around on the table, stepping on the butter and knocking over the salt shaker, all wanting to be the first to give her the letter.
Before Umbridge could figure out what was going on, seven more owls landed in the first batch.
They screamed and flapped their wings, and the whole staff table was looking in here with their heads outstretched.
“Professor Umbridge,” Professor McGonagall raised his eyebrows with a half-smile, and handed over a magazine he just opened, “it looks like you’re in trouble.”
Umbridge rudely took over the magazine—it was the latest monthly issue of The Quibbler this month.
She unfolded it and saw a botched cartoon on the cover.
A fat witch in a pink coat with a black bow on her forehead and a group of wizards kneeling on the ground begging for mercy.
On the top of the comic is a line of blood-red characters:
[Who the **** has the Ministry of Magic arrested:]
【Wolfman? Or a poor fellow on the fringes of society? 】
“It’s scary, isn’t it?”
Professor McGonagall stood up, patted Umbridge on the shoulder, and said with a serious look.
“The content just printed yesterday, there are also live photos and introductions. It seems that your previous werewolf encirclement and suppression operations were somewhat controversial?”
She raised her finger and pointed to the owls who were huddling around before Umbridge bought it, and continued.
“Cough~www.mtlnovel.com~ I personally suggest that you’d better take the envelope first, after all other teachers in the school have to eat breakfast, and if this goes on, the long table of the staff may be full of owls delivering letters to you. Perhaps, you can also go outside the auditorium to receive letters?”
“How is this possible, slander, vile slander—”
Umbridge shivered all over, ignored the owls, and quickly opened the book of The Quibbler.
Unlike other magazines, the first few pages of this issue of The Quibbler are full of black-and-white magic photos.
Photos of the Ministry of Magic Aurors attacking werewolf villages, arresting suspicious individuals…
These are not deadly things.
What’s really scary is that there’s a creepy roster attached to the back of those photos.
The roster details the list of people arrested in the previous “Wolfman Village Purge” led by her, as well as their names and brief resumes – something that even the Ministry of Magic does not have, and Aurors never Will count werewolves’ names.
and also……
The time each of them transformed into a werewolf…
On the roster, bright red lines delineate a slew of people who were turned into werewolves after arrests at the Ministry of Magic.
as well as–
“I’m very ashamed that I was silent at the time, it’s a shame.”
Behind all the rosters, there is another special column, the cover picture is the face of an old lion-like middle-aged wizard.
Below this headless introduction is a line of bold, unadorned headlines.
