Hogwarts on the Tip of the Tongue - Chapter 1289
Rufus Scrimgeour’s interview is not very long.
In fact, Scrimgeour doesn’t tell too many dark stories about the inside of the Ministry of Magic.
He merely stated the truth about the werewolf operation and the subsequent press conference that the Ministry of Magic had expanded the number of arrests for political achievements.
“Why,” Umbridge jumped to his feet and walked up to Scrimgeour, “why did you do this?!”
“A reporter asked me questions, and I answered her questions truthfully,” Scrimgeour said calmly.
“Don’t forget, you are the first person in charge of the werewolf capture operation!”
Umbridge’s voice was sharper and higher than usual, causing the surrounding little wizards to subconsciously turn their heads to look over.
She placed The Quibbler heavily on Scrimgeour’s table, with unsightly patches of mauve on her doughy face.
“I didn’t forget, I never dared to forget. This is the most shameful and despicable thing in my life.”
Scrimgeour said, looking up at Umbridge, his voice low and hoarse.
“The Ministry of Magic, the Auror Office, we people are supposed to be the protectors who maintain the order of the magic world and protect ordinary people from being violated – but if we are for the so-called political achievements and merits, we even don’t hesitate to move towards those who should be protected. People shoot, so what’s the difference between us and the dark wizards? No, I think it’s worse than the dark wizards.”
“Recognize the reality, Ms. Umbridge, the Ministry of Magic is corrupt… This is a very dangerous signal, and someone must stand up.”
“If the Wizengamore court summons me to go to trial, I will honestly admit my mistake, and you should have the same awareness.”
“Trial, trial… a joke!”
Umbridge said her voice trembled a little.
“I expelled those half-humans and half-beasts, and most people will support me.”
“But people are more afraid of being called a werewolf someday,” Scrimgeour said softly. “I used to think… thought…” He took a deep breath, “I thought silence and inaction meant neutrality. , but I’ve come to realize these days that silence is not going to make things better. The scrutiny from the Ministry of Magic, and the storm of public opinion from the magical society will arrive soon, and I will not shy away from those accusations – as for what are you going to do , it’s up to you.”
“you–”
Umbridge stared at Scrimgeour in exasperation, his stubby fingers shaking violently.
“Wait and see, wait and see – as a traitor to the Ministry of Magic, you’ll soon find out what you’re doing!”
She stomped away, clutching The Quibbler tightly to her chest, and the eyes of many students followed her.
Before noon, a huge notice was posted on the college’s bulletin board:
[Hogwarts Senior Investigator Order]
“After a report, Rufus Scrimgeour was suspected of serious malfeasance during his tenure on the post, and he is now temporarily exempted from his Hogwarts “guiding principal” status.”
“During the vacancy of the superintendent’s post, senior advisor Dolores Umbridge will perform the day-to-day duties.”
“The above regulations are in compliance with Education Order No. 32.”
For some reason, when Scrimgeour saw the notice, he sighed with mixed emotions.
“You don’t seem too happy?” Elena asked.
“Oh, Miss Kaslana, is there really no second way to set things right?”
Scrimgeour said softly, “I know Umbridge’s character very well. She’s not the kind of person who can fight back!”
“I know, so we’re going to set two targets for her – so as not to accidentally hurt innocents.”
“target?”
“Mr. Scrimgeour, Professor McGonagall intends to establish a campus guard in the Hogwarts area to ensure the safety of Hogwarts teachers and students.”
Elena took out a piece of parchment from her bosom and handed it to Scrimgeour, “Warning, the jurisdiction is from the school castle to the Hogwarts off-campus research area.”
“…Is there really going to be someone attacking Hogwarts?”
Scrimgeour took the parchment and asked suspiciously.
In fact, that’s one of the reasons he was sent to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Before leaving, Dumbledore asked the Ministry of Magic for help once, hoping that the Ministry of Magic could send experienced wizards to assist in the defense of Hogwarts.
“Fenrir will definitely come, this time the Ministry of Magic’s actions against werewolves have gone too far…”
Elena said earnestly, and glanced at the students who were laughing and fighting not far away, “After the werewolf incident broke out, the Ministry of Magic will definitely become the center of the storm of public opinion.”
“Connelly Fudge will not be stupid enough to help Umbridge bear the infamy. The situation is very clear. In order to deal with the impeachment proposal, he must remove himself from all kinds of unfavorable public opinion as much as possible. The two of Murich are completely opposed to the present, and your gesture of showing favor to Professor McGonagall will become a vote.”
“…So, that target is me?”
“No, I think it’s Professor McGonagall – a drowning ghost whose favorite thing to do is drag down people who are about to go ashore.”
Elena glanced at Scrimgeour, who was hesitant to speak, and stood up and patted the other’s shoulder, “This is a war between witches, just watch the play next to you.”
Scrimgeour had to admit that the Hogwarts witch’s judgment was very accurate.
Umbridge’s attention instantly turned back to Professor McGonagall after he offered to be the captain of the guard.
By the end of the day, although Scrimgeour had also been bombarded with letters from owls, it was clear that Umbridge was the center of the vortex.
Scrimgeour noticed the little wizards whispering between classes. Maybe they didn’t understand the seriousness of the Ministry of Magic’s reversal of black and white, but they at least saw Umbridge and the Aurors trying to take Professor Quirrell from the school. When the werewolf incident broke out, everyone quickly turned it over from memory.
However, the situation was not as completely one-sided as everyone imagined, and Umbridge resorted to the last killer move.
“Professor McGonagall was ordered to temporarily suspend classes? Why! How did that woman do it?!”
Hermione looked at the empty lectern in shock, then turned to look at Elena, who seemed to have expected it.
“Elena, didn’t you say that the power of the two candidates is equal, why can Umbridge interfere in Professor McGonagall’s class!?”
“Well, it’s not strictly a ‘suspension of classes’, Professor McGonagall just asked everyone to study for a while~www.mtlnovel.com~ Elena pointed to the class suspension instructions on the blackboard in front of me. Before leaving the classroom, the older catgirl Still left homework on the blackboard.
One of the Hogwarts “acting headmaster” candidacy rules states that the candidate must be a professor who is currently teaching.
In response to this, Umbridge presented a multiple-choice question to Professor McGonagall through the Ministry of Magic:
Return to the original Transfiguration content, or suspend classes and pass the new theory review.
Professor McGonagall chose the latter without hesitation.
The Transfiguration class during this period allowed her to once again verify the correctness and necessity of the new theory from an objective point of view.
Magic depends on thinking.
If wrong, outdated theories are smeared in as students shape magical thinking, it will take a lot of time to correct them later.
“Everything Umbridge has done is the most powerful endorsement for Professor McGonagall or the teaching reform at Hogwarts…”
Elena looked at Hermione and explained in a low voice, “When all her doubts are resolved, and there are no problems with all the procedures and regulations, we will get a complete set that can be used in any new theories and new disciplines. Approval template on -”
“The judging meeting will be held in the Transfiguration classroom tomorrow night, and I have secretly secured two seats for the audience.”
“When Hannah is on duty outside, the two of us can go in and watch Professor McGonagall’s defense – this may be the highest-level academic defense of Transfiguration in recent decades… As for Professor Umbridge, I am Looking forward to her constructive comments.”
