Rebirth of the Harry Potter - Chapter 402
Ministry of Magic.
The most central area.
“Da da da……”
A burst of small sandals hit the floor with a crisp sound.
The master of the voice appeared slowly.
She was short and fat, with short curly gray-brown hair, and a very ugly pink bow on it, and the fluffy pink cardigan that she covered over her robe. It matches well, there are frill skirts, small and cute pink handbags, pink girly high heels, and even the magic wand is pink.
A pale, toad-like face and a pair of eyes with saggy eyelids and protruding eyeballs.
But she was so ugly, but she thought she was a beautiful girl with her head up high, and she looked more like a funny clown.
A pair of young wizards and wizards were talking and laughing from the other side of the corridor.
Seeing this dazzling pink figure from a distance, he immediately stopped his voice.
Go forward cautiously.
When the three passed by, the two young wizards bowed slightly to salute, and said nervously, “Hello, Vice Minister Umbridge.”
“Yeah.” Umbridge thought he was reserved, but actually just raised his head with arrogance and nodded in response.
Umbridge glanced at the young and beautiful witch, jealous of her youthful beauty, silently noted that the badge on her chest belonged to the Ministry of Justice, and planned to find an opportunity to kick her out of the Ministry.
…
Saw Umbridge twisted and twisted towards the minister’s office.
The witch asked curiously: “What do you say about this old witch?”
The wizard shook his head: “I don’t know, but I think she is a fool well-known by the Ministry of Magic.”
The witch asked: “How to say?”
The wizard chuckled and said: “Everyone knows that she was Minister Fudge’s person before, but Minister Dumbledore has been on the stage for so long, and she didn’t say anything. She thought that she was the same as before, aloof, independent of the struggle for power. Outside. Our office is laughing at Umbridge’s IQ. She now has the title of deputy minister. She has no rights anymore, but she doesn’t know it.”
…
Umbridge stood outside Minister Dumbledore’s office, confidently thinking about the plan in his head, and cleared his throat with a cough twice.
“Dangdang…” She knocked on the office door and said in a sweet, goosebump-like voice: “Albus, I’m Dolores.”
“Come in.” Dumbledore’s deep voice came from the room.
Umbridge opened the door and walked in with a smile on his face.
Dumbledore was dealing with official duties. He raised his head, his blue glasses glowing: “Umbridge, what’s the matter?”
Umbridge smirked, and said in a sharp and thin voice like a little girl: “Albus, I have an idea.”
Dumbledore stopped writing and listened to her.
Umbridge coughed: “According to the previous Ministry of Magic policy, educating young wizards is a very important thing. They are born with some precious talents, if they are not trained and exercised under careful and careful guidance, they may be No results. The ancient skills unique to the magical world must be passed on from generation to generation, or they will disappear. The precious treasures of magical knowledge accumulated by our ancestors must be treated by those who are fortunate to engage in noble education. Protect, supplement and improve.”
Listening to Umbridge’s serious and false accent, Dumbledore’s surprised eyebrows were raised to the sky.
Umbridge saw that Dumbledore, who had always been calm, had such a big reaction, he thought he was talking about his heart.
She looked at Dumbledore and first praised: “The previous principals of Hogwarts have all innovated in the important task of managing this historically famous school, especially during the decades you have been the principal of Hogwarts. Innovation and reform must continue, because if there is no progress, it will stagnate and decline. However, at the same time, the practice of progress for progress should never be encouraged. Our traditions have been tempered and often do not need to be clumsy. Amendment. To achieve a balance, between the old and the new, between permanence and change, between tradition and innovation…”
This misty nonsense, it is estimated that most people will be confused after hearing it, but as cunning as Dumbledore, they vaguely guessed Umbridge’s true intentions.
He gently put down the quill, crossed his fingers, sat upright, and listened carefully, as if he was saying: You say, I will listen.
Umbridge seemed to be greatly encouraged. She straightened her chest, coughed, and continued: “Because some changes have achieved good results, and other changes when appropriate, they will be found to be decision-making mistakes. At the same time. It is understandable that some old habits will be retained, and some habits are obsolete and must be discarded. We should keep moving forward and enter a new era of enlightenment, efficiency and sensibility, and resolutely maintain what should be maintained and perfect the need Perfect, get rid of those we should ban…”
Dumbledore smiled and said, “Umbridge, if I understand correctly, you mean that the Ministry of Magic should intervene in the management of the Hogwarts Ministry of Magic?”
“Yes.” Umbridge said with a smile, staring at his toad-like eyes. Showing sharp teeth.
“When you were at Hogwarts, Hogwarts always stayed safe. But after you leave office, I think it is a good choice to let the Ministry of Magic intervene in Hogwarts. After all, it is the largest magic school in the world. The control of the Ministry of Magic is bound to cause major problems.”
Dumbledore said, “What do you think is the best way to deal with it?”
Umbridge coughed, as if she had already thought about the answer, and she said: “How about creating a new position-Hogwarts Senior Investigator, stationed in Hogwarts.”
Dumbledore didn’t have any major reactions, but said softly, “Then what do you think this senior investigator needs?”
Umbridge said passionately: “Since he represents the Ministry of Magic, his status is naturally detached. It is not under the jurisdiction of the President of Hogwarts. It can issue laws on behalf of the Ministry of Magic to supervise all professors and students. It can check whether the professor is in Hogwarts. He has the right to teach and has the right to decide whether to expel or leave school. The principal cannot intervene. If anyone ignores the investigator’s order, he can even be handed over to the Auror office and imprisoned in the Wizarding Prison.”
“So…” Dumbledore stood up from the desk, thinking.
“It seems like a good idea, but who will take the responsibility?” Dumbledore wandered in the room.
He raised his head sometimes, sometimes bowed his head, muttering to himself: “Alastor Moody? No, he is so annoying to those little ghosts. Last time he was asked to teach in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class at Hogwarts, he refused. No. Sirius Black? No way. Although he was in the same camp as the Ministry of Magic against Voldemort, he was never a regular official of the Ministry. Arthur Weasley? Well, this is a good candidate, he is steady. , But there are other important responsibilities entrusted to him, and he can’t get away from him before going to Hogwarts as a senior investigator…”
Every time a name popped out of Dumbledore’s mouth, Umbridge’s face turned pale. When Dumbledore gave up this choice, Umbridge returned to normal, and the cycle repeated.
“Cough cough cough cough…”
Umbridge kept coughing, as if to suggest something.
Dumbledore finally noticed Umbridge, and he asked concerned: “Umbridge, are you feeling well?”
Umbridge looked stiff: “No, I’m fine.”
What she originally thought was that she would recommend the job after she had said her thoughts, but Dumbledore started talking to herself without giving her a chance, and she had no chance to interrupt.
Suddenly, Dumbledore’s eyes lit up, staring at Umbridge firmly, and said in surprise: “Umbridge, why did I forget you.”
Happiness came so quickly, Umbridge hadn’t reacted yet.
But Dumbledore suddenly said, “No, it’s impossible.”
“Why not!” Umbridge said anxiously.
Dumbledore said: “Because you are now in the position of Deputy Minister, and if you are allowed to serve as an important position as a senior investigator at Hogwarts, you know, those people in the Ministry are all virtuous, and they must be jealous of you. , I won’t agree with my decision. And the Hogwarts board of directors, they don’t want someone to step on their heads suddenly~www.mtlnovel.com~ Their influence on the Ministry of Magic cannot be underestimated, and they want to get them to agree. It’s not easy to do.”
“Hmm…” Dumbledore thought: “But it’s not absolutely impossible. If you step down as the Deputy Minister of Magic first, the ministers of the various departments will probably not have too much opinion, and the school directors will not regard you as A huge threat, but too much resistance.”
Dumbledore patted the fat and short Umbridge on the shoulder, and said earnestly: “Umbridge, this is a heavy burden. Now I leave the choice in your hands. No matter what you want to do, I All support.”
Umbridge’s face changed, and finally said firmly: “I am willing to go to Hogwarts.”
Dumbledore smiled and said: “That’s good. Don’t worry, in half a month, I can persuade those school directors to accept the Hogwarts Senior Investigator appointed by the Ministry of Magic.”
Finally, Umbridge left contentedly.
She felt that she had taken this move too right, she should have done it long ago, at the moment Dumbledore became Minister of Magic.
She couldn’t help knowing that she was marginalized at the Ministry of Magic, but she could do nothing.
So she put her idea elsewhere.
That is Hogwarts.
She saw that when Dumbledore intended to become Minister of Magic, the responders gathered.
This is the result of his being a professor at Hogwarts for most of his life. There is no one in the world, so his reputation is unmatched.
So, since the Ministry of Magic can’t stay, it’s better to go to Hogwarts and hide.
After she engraved her brand on Hogwarts, would she be able to walk the road that Dumbledore had walked again?
This is the perfect plan Umbridge thought.
Dumbledore, you can die quickly. If you die, I will be on top.
