Every Monday morning is the time when owl messengers visit most frequently.
Apparently, Dolores Umbridge was not the only person in the Great Hall who subscribed to the Daily Prophet.
Almost everyone is eager to know the latest news. Although many people have not been in the habit of reading newspapers before, the latest issue of the "Daily Prophet" will publish the changes in the support rate of the "Hogwarts Acting Principal Candidate".
Everyone wants to know which of the two "alternative acting principals" will have the advantage in the new week.
Hermione walked outside the "forbidden area" where Elena was, and collected various newspapers and periodicals one by one from the owl postmen.
Elena, on the other hand, drank orange juice leisurely and enjoyed the wonderful performance on the faculty and staff seats with great interest.
"This is unreasonable, crazy, this guy is crazy - lawless -"
Umbridge's voice was trembling, and she looked at the wizard on the cover of the newspaper with a gloomy expression.
The impeachment process for the Minister of Magic is not that simple to start, which means that at least a quarter of the Wizengamot members have defected.
What made her even more unbelievable was the slogan Gilderoy Lockhart put forward in the newspaper:
In an idealized civilized world - where wizards, Muggles, mixed-bloods, aliens, and even all intelligent creatures that can be regarded as "human beings" live in equality and harmony, any discrimination, unequal behavior and regulations - are all crazily criticized by Lockhart's ideas
object.
In fact, Lockhart even went so far as to quote Grindelwald directly: "For the greater good."
But he added another explanation after this sentence, "Fight for all the good in the world."
These explosive remarks are obviously what reporters and all walks of life love to see.
Especially after Lockhart successfully launched an impeachment and also announced in a high-profile manner that he planned to run for the next Minister of Magic.
"What's going on? Are those guys in the Wizengamot crazy..."
Umbridge opened the newspaper impatiently, preparing to find out what was going on outside.
Whether it's the impeachment of the Minister of Magic or Lockhart's crazy remarks, when they are printed in newspapers, it means something is wrong.
Just then, another owl landed in front of her, holding a brown envelope.
"Why is there another letter——"
Umbridge raised her head and glanced at the recipient's name and address.
【Hogwarts School】
【hall】
【Dolores Umbridge】
How could someone take the initiative to send her a letter at this time?
She frowned and raised her hand to take the envelope, but three, four, or five more owls flapped their wings and landed next to her.
Six owls crowded around the table, stepping on butter and knocking over salt shakers, all trying to be the first to give her the letter.
Before Umbridge could figure out what was going on, seven more owls landed among the first group.
They screamed and flapped their wings, and everyone on the faculty table craned their heads to look at them.
"Professor Umbridge," Professor McGonagall raised her eyebrows with a half-smile and handed over a freshly opened magazine, "it seems you are in trouble."
Umbridge roughly took the magazine - it was the latest monthly issue of "The Quibbler" this month.
She unfolded it and saw a poor caricature drawn on the cover.
There was a fat witch in a pink coat with a black bow on her forehead. At her feet were a group of wizards kneeling on the ground begging for mercy.
A line of blood-red characters was printed above the comic:
[Who did the Ministry of Magic arrest:]
[A werewolf? Or a poor guy living on the fringes of society? 】
"Pretty scary, isn't it?"
Professor McGonagall stood up, patted Umbridge on the shoulder, and said seriously.
"The contents just printed out yesterday include on-site photos and introductions. It seems that your previous werewolf encirclement and suppression operations were somewhat controversial?"
She raised her finger and pointed at the owls that were still jostling around before Umbridge bought them and continued.
"Well, I personally suggest that you'd better accept the envelope first. After all, other teachers in the school have to eat breakfast. If this continues, the desk of the dean of staff may be full of owls delivering letters to you... Maybe, you also
Can I go outside the auditorium to receive the mail?"
"How is this possible? Slander, despicable slander—"
Umbridge trembled all over, ignored the owls, and quickly opened the book "The Quibbler."
Unlike other magazines, the first few pages of this issue of The Quibbler are all black and white magic photos.
Photos of the Ministry of Magic's Aurors attacking the werewolf village, photos of arresting suspicious persons...
These are not fatal things.
What's really scary is that behind those photos is a horrifyingly detailed roster.
The roster details the names of those arrested in the previous "Werewolf Village Clearance" operation led by her, as well as each of their names and brief resumes - this is something that even the Ministry of Magic does not have, and Aurors never do.
Will count the names of werewolves.
besides……
The time each of them transformed into a werewolf...
On the roster, a bright red line outlines a large list of people who were transformed into werewolves after being arrested by the Ministry of Magic.
as well as--
"I am very ashamed that I kept silent at that time. This is a shame."
Behind all the rosters, there is another special column. The cover picture shows the face of a middle-aged wizard who looks like an old lion.
Below this meaningless introduction, there is a line of bold headlines without any modification.
[Former Auror Office Chief Rufus Scrimgeour reveals the secrets of the Ministry of Magic]
