Hogwarts was in full swing preparing for the Halloween party, and in the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor's office, Umbridge was excitedly looking at the parchment in her hand.
"Ministry of Magic Education Reform"
The Ministry of Magic seeks education reform, and Dolores Umbridge is appointed as the first High Inquisitor, and Hogwarts House must not violate it.
sign:
Department of General Affairs, Ministry of Magic.
Minister of Magic.
…
The last education order was judged by McGonagall as Hogwarts as a whole has no downward trend, and as a member of Hogwarts, Bree Ord created "Fundamentals of Natural Magic", which added more value to Hogwarts.
On the grounds of new glory and glory, he rejected the education order from the Ministry of Magic.
This made Fudge and Umbridge very angry.
But this time, Umbridge had absolute control.
Umbridge excitedly took the parchment and walked out quickly.
At this time, in the hall of Hogwarts, the little wizards were looking at the newspapers in their hands in disbelief.
Because it was also reported above that Umbridge became a senior investigator recognized by the Ministry of Magic, no one can change it.
And parents also agreed with this.
This is ridiculous!
"Ahem!" Umbridge stepped into the auditorium of Hogwarts, with a smile as bright as a flower, and stepped onto the podium excitedly.
The other professors who were enjoying lunch at the professor's chair had a look on their faces. They stopped their knives and forks when looking at the pink figure in front of them and lost their appetite.
"I'm very happy. I think everyone has heard about it." Umbridge was so arrogant that her nostrils were about to reach the sky.
She smiled crookedly and said, "Yes, I, Dolores Umbridge, am confirmed to be the first Senior Investigator."
As she said that, she looked back at Mag and said, "You won't stop it this time. This is the latest order issued by the Ministry of Magic, and everyone has agreed."
Mag opened her mouth, but this matter was beyond her rights.
The Ministry of Magic's campaign for Umbridge has gone too far.
Moreover, Dumbledore has not been back for a long time, and rumors are flying around, questioning Hogwarts, which makes McGonagall lose some power.
"Of course, but I'm curious about what this investigator does?"
"It's the Senior Investigator, Minerva." Umbridge said cordially.
Snape stood up and left the hall without turning his head.
Umbridge frowned, remembering Snape in her mind, thinking that she had more important things to do.
She glanced around, but Brie wasn't there.
Okay, wait a minute.
She ignored the disgusted looks from the other professors and turned around with a smile: "As a senior investigator, I am very worried about the teaching at Hogwarts because we don't have good professors. Of course, this was before I came here."
In one sentence, all the professors were angry.
But looking at the red-stamped parchment in Umbridge's hand, she couldn't bear it.
"I will investigate every professor and evaluate their teaching. If they do not comply with the Ministry of Magic's education regulations, I have the right to impose some punishments."
"Haha, I'm sorry." Umbridge turned around and pretended to apologize: "I think every professor can pass, as long as you don't have any problems."
"Of course!" Umbridge suddenly looked at the little wizards below, glanced at their panicked faces, and said gently: "I will also investigate the order of Hogwarts, and I have the right to change some unreasonable rules.
, and some reasonable regulations can also be added.”
"I think this is my duty and no one can stop me."
Umbridge glanced at Bree's empty seat.
"Otherwise, this is going against the Ministry of Magic."
After saying that, Umbridge was so excited that she didn't even eat, so she trotted back to the office and started planning which professor to start with.
At the professor's chair, the other professors all looked at McGonagall.
Mag shook his head.
His own wind direction is very unfavorable to Dumbledore, and Dumbledore is already regarded as the cornerstone of Hogwarts.
It was okay for him to retire from the position of principal before and become the vice principal, but now that he has not appeared for a long time, there are more and more slanders without an explanation...
"Oh, I will inform Dumbledore. This is a helpless move."
It is indeed time for Dumbledore to come back. According to McGonagall's understanding, the Order of the Phoenix in the UK has almost been established, and part of it is due to McGonagall's efforts.
…
In the corner building, Bree is studying the small world in the notes.
In other words, evolution.
Edit the rules of the world.
In the process, Bree made vague new discoveries.
I saw that in the small world——
Bree's wand has turned into an illusory giant tree. It is the core of the world. Its roots have evolved into the thick earth, the crown of the tree has become the blue sky, and the branches have connected to form an island suspended in the sky, a strange little island.
The world keeps coming together.
As the small world grows, the entire world is divided into the ground world and countless islands.
The islands are connected by tree trunks that cannot be seen so as not to separate from the world.
The small world is not very big. According to Bree's estimation, it can probably accommodate three places: Hogwarts, the Forbidden Forest, and the Black Lake.
but……
Bree nodded with interest as he watched the faith stored in the notes gradually pour into the world, causing the world to grow rapidly.
These beliefs come from wizards who study natural magic. Because the base of wizards is here, there are not many in comparison, but they are very pious.
Bree thought, there is no one who would not be pious to the behavior of strong self.
"Using faith to strengthen the small world can enhance the world's foundation and make the world's barriers more stable."
Of course, this is not without its disadvantages - the world will gradually become weaker and broken if it loses faith.
"Maybe that's not a bad thing."
Bree's eyes flashed.
"Faith comes from wizards' belief in natural magic... If wizards no longer believe in natural magic, then the world will be broken."
The master of nature is Bree, and Bree agrees with this disadvantage.
Spread the notes on the table, and an illusory shadow of the world is projected on it, floating and very gorgeous.
Bree could feel that she was the controller of this small world.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! However, there are too few rules in the small world, and there are not enough elements. He still needs to continue to add.
"Dongdongdong!" There was a knock on the door.
Outside the portrait of the big tree, there are students looking for Bri. There have been a lot of people coming in the past few days, and most of them are here to guide the students from outside the school.
Yes, the name used by young wizards to help foreign students is fixed on the word guide.
"Please come in."
Not long after, the little wizard walked in.
Many acquaintances.
It was Hermione, Yana, Luna, Qiu and several girls who looked both familiar and unfamiliar.
Compared to boys, girls are more enthusiastic about being leaders.
"This is Marietta Acmo." Qiu pointed to the strangest girl in Bree and said: "You may have forgotten that she is Kayin Gibson. She was on the carriage when she entered school..."
There is no need for Qiu to introduce her. This is the girl who came to see Bri with Qiu when Bri was in school. However, the relationship ended later. It is said that she is an extremely pure-blooded girl.
"Hello, Professor Oude, I hope to become the leader of Beauxbatons College. I hope you can agree that I am proficient in various languages in Europe."
This is a very elegant girl. It can be seen that she has lived in France.
Bree made a note of an alternative for him.
Then he looked at the twins.
"Professor Odd, I am Parvati Patil from Gryffindor House, and this is my sister Padma Patil from Ravenclaw House."
This was a pair of Indian girls. Bree remembered that they were the girls who danced with Harry and Ron at the Yule Ball in the Goblet of Fire. Of course, they were boys at the time.
"Do you want to be the leader of xz academy?" Brie asked.
India is not far from xz, maybe these two can do the job.
But to Bree's surprise, the two men shook their heads at the same time.
Parvati Patil said: "We don't know much about the XZ Academy. It's too mysterious and we don't know Chinese...but we know about Wagadu in India. We like astronomy and divination."
Wagado in Africa has indeed made achievements in this regard.
Parvati Patil continued: "We think that only Qiu is suitable for xz Academy."
Parvati Patil pushed Qiu up.
Qiu said embarrassedly: "I know some Chinese, but I'm not sure what xz Academy said..."
"The official language of XZ Academy is Chinese, don't worry." Bri also thinks that Qiu is suitable for XZ Academy.
And Africa can also bring twins.
After writing it down in her notebook, Bree looked at the others.
Hermione was the first to come up. She would never give up the opportunity to communicate with students from other schools.
"I hope to get to know Durmstrang. I have been to Northern Europe and I have relatives there."
Bree nodded without going into details. Anyway, the three magic schools in Europe and the Invermorny School of Magic in the United States have the same cultural foundation, and they are similar to everyone.
Luna chuckled and said, "Yana and I are here to take a look. We both often get lost in Hogwarts."
"I want to guide the Russian Kodosdorez..." Yana looked at Bree with some expectation, but of course, there was not much expression on her face.
"Let me think about it. If nothing happens, you can go back first."
Brie didn't explicitly say who could, and of course, it's not a big deal.
…
"What, no flying!"
Outside Hogwarts Castle, the Gryffindor Quidditch team holding broomsticks was stopped by Umbridge.
George and Fred looked at each other, both having some thoughts.
Harry and Ron looked at Umbridge, hoping for an explanation.
Because students from other schools are coming to Hogwarts, and those students don't have experience in fantasy games, but they do have Quidditch.
So they wanted to have some small competitions and practice for a while today.
"Sorry." She said sorry, but with a smile on her face, Umbridge said: "We are not sure whether Quidditch is dangerous, and it will delay your study time."
"This is for a competition with people from other schools!" Ron said loudly.
The surrounding young wizards gathered around, and after understanding the situation, they all looked at Umbridge with disgust in their eyes.
"Oh, an external school?" When talking about an external school, Umbridge looked a little ferocious, because none of the other professors informed her about it. She only found out about it later in the conversation with the young wizards.
Of course, she will not stop such a large school exchange event, which will bring her great popularity, as long as she can handle everything.
Umbridge has great ambitions, and now is her first step.
"In my capacity as the Senior Investigator of Hogwarts from the Ministry of Magic, I declare!" Umbridge's voice was harsh, like an old witch singing hoarsely.
"From now on, in order to ensure the safety of little wizards, flying is prohibited within the Hogwarts campus, including the Quidditch pitch!"
Umbridge smiled, regardless of the dazed expressions of the young wizards, and continued: "Including illusions..."
Umbridge stuttered, then she thought about it and didn't say anything.
"Of course, fantasy games are okay."
Umbridge thought that when communicating with people from other schools, there must be something that can compete. The Fantasy Game is good, but she must first get the education order and let the Fantasy Game Club fall into her hands...
"Please carry out the order of the senior investigator, otherwise I have the right to expel students!"
After Umbridge finished speaking, she waved her wand and took away all the broomsticks from the hospital team's hands, levitating them away and preparing to lock them in the utility room.
Only after Umbridge left did the little wizards react.
"She, what on earth is she thinking!" Ron said in disbelief.
On the other side, Hermione, who had just arrived late from looking for Bree, looked at the empty hospital team in her hands and wondered: "Where is the broom?"
"We can't play anymore, beautiful lady." Fred sighed helplessly.
So was George beside him, and the two of them sang together, recounting Umbridge's crimes.
Hermione's face darkened, and she said, "I'll go find Principal McGonagall and ask!"
…
Hermione's actions were in vain, because not even McGonagall, a fanatical Quidditch player, could stop Umbridge from enforcing the ban.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! With the Ministry of Magic as a backstage, it is difficult for Umbridge to find an opponent at Hogwarts.
"Dumbledore, you must find a way."
In McGonagall's office, Dumbledore, who had not been out for a long time, finally appeared.
But Dumbledore had no intention of stepping forward to deal with it. Instead, he said to McGonagall: "We should respect the Ministry of Magic, Minerva."
"Oh, you ate expired candy outside, did something go wrong, Dumbledore!" McGonagall stared at Dumbledore seriously, clenching her fists.
"Minerva, we have to have a reason. Now is not the time."
Dumbledore was outside and heard the Ministry of Magic's slander against him, but this was not a big deal. What Dumbledore wanted to do now was to establish the Order of the Phoenix and spread the radiation range of the Order abroad.
Only when the Order of the Phoenix covers the whole of Europe can Dumbledore confront Voldemort and Grindelwald at the same time.
But... Dumbledore was a little hesitant, his actions were very slow, and it was as if he was just writing some blank checks to the Ministry of Magic abroad, just to comfort them with words.
Because Grindelwald has not officially appeared yet.
"Isn't it the right time?" McGonagall yelled at Dumbledore loudly: "When is your right time? Are you going to wait for Umbridge to mess up Hogwarts?"
Seeing McGonagall so excited, Dumbledore had to tell the truth.
"Neither Grindelwald nor Voldemort took action, I must hide."
"Minerva...if you can, please believe me, as long as Odd is here, no matter how messed up Umbridge is, nothing will happen."
"You just need to keep an eye on Oude and train him to become a qualified principal, and everything will be no problem."
Mag calmed down for a while, took a deep breath and said: "Of course, Bree has done many great things, and has made more achievements than you have been in office for so many years."
McGonagall told Dumbledore about the foreign school, and Dumbledore nodded frequently.
"I think Ode can be promoted to principal next year."
The two of them ended the smoke they just had.
"I will stay in the Order of the Phoenix and put aside my international affairs for the time being."
After Dumbledore's comfort, the Ministry of Magic outside had stabilized a lot, and he could concentrate on dealing with Voldemort.
Dumbledore waved his hand, and soon a phoenix chirped and the phoenix appeared.
"The Phoenix is left for you to correspond with me, Minerva."
Phoenix is an excellent messenger, and it stands to reason that staying with Dumbledore would be more useful to him, but Dumbledore doesn't want to interfere with foreign affairs recently.
"Okay." Seeing that Dumbledore had taken out all the phoenixes, McGonagall didn't know what to say.
Suddenly, Mag had a guess.
"Dumbledore, I don't think you would let people from the Ministry of Magic cause trouble in Hogwarts for no reason."
From the beginning, Principal McGonagall had doubts about Dumbledore's reason for letting Umbridge in, and now it seems that she has the answer.
Dumbledore was silent for a moment, allowing McGonagall to confirm her suspicion.
Dumbledore said before leaving: "When Grindelwald awakens the saints and the Death Eaters make trouble again, the forces of the Ministry of Magic headed by Fudge will never be biased towards me."
"So, please, please direct their energy here."
After that, Dumbledore used Apparition and left Hogwarts...
