The interview with Rufus Scrimgeour is not very long.
In fact, Scrimgeour doesn't tell much about the dark stories within the Ministry of Magic.
He simply stated the truth about Operation Werewolf and the subsequent press conference in which the Ministry of Magic expanded the number of arrests for political achievements.
"Why," Umbridge stood up and walked to Scrimgeour, "why did you do this?!"
"A reporter asked me a question, and I answered her question truthfully." Scrimgeour said calmly.
"Don't forget, you are the first person in charge of the werewolf capture operation!"
Umbridge's voice was shriller and higher than usual, causing the little wizards around her to turn their heads subconsciously.
She placed "The Quibbler" heavily on Scrimgeour's table, with patches of ugly purple-red appearing on her doughy face.
"I haven't forgotten it. I never dare to forget it. This is the most shameful and despicable thing in my life."
Scrimgeour said, his voice low and hoarse as he looked up at Umbridge.
"The Ministry of Magic, the Auror Office, we are supposed to be the protectors who maintain order in the magical world and protect ordinary people from being harmed - but if we do it for the so-called political achievements and merits, we will not even hesitate to attack those who should be protected.
If someone takes action, what is the difference between us and the dark wizards? No, I think this is 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 Wizengamot Court summons me to go to trial, I will truthfully admit my mistakes, and you should have the same awareness."
"Trial, trial...a joke!"
Umbridge said, her voice trembling.
"I expel those half-men and half-animals, and most people will support me."
"However, people are more afraid of being accused of being werewolves one day," Scrimgeour said softly. "I used to think... thought..." He took a deep breath, "I thought silence and not expressing one's stance represented a neutral stance.
, but these days I have gradually realized that silence will not make things better. The Ministry of Magic's review and the storm of public opinion from the wizarding society will soon arrive, and I will not avoid those accusations - as for what you plan to do
, it depends on your own thoughts."
"you--"
Umbridge glared at Scrimgeour angrily, her stubby fingers trembling violently.
"Just wait and see, just wait and see - when you become a traitor to the Ministry of Magic, you will soon know the consequences of doing so!"
She stomped away, clutching "The Quibbler" tightly to her chest, and many students followed her.
Before noon, a huge notice was posted on the college’s bulletin board:
[Hogwarts High Inquisitor Order]
"After reports, Rufus Scrimgeour was suspected of serious dereliction of duty during his tenure and is temporarily exempted from his status as the "Guide Headmaster" of Hogwarts."
"During the vacancy of the position of Headmaster, Senior Counselor Dolores Umbridge will handle the day-to-day duties."
"The above regulations are in compliance with the Education Order No. 32."
For some reason, Scrimgeour sighed with mixed emotions when he saw this notice.
"You don't seem happy?" Elena asked.
"Oh, Miss Kaslana, is there really no second way to bring order to the chaos?"
Scrimgeour said softly, "I know Umbridge's character very well. She is not the kind of person who will just surrender. She will definitely fight back crazily!"
"I know, so we have to set up two targets for her to avoid accidentally hurting innocent people."
"target?"
"Mr. Scrimgeour, Professor McGonagall plans to set up 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 arms and handed it to Scrimgeour, "Warning, the jurisdiction is from the school castle to the Hogwarts off-campus institute area."
"...Will someone really attack Hogwarts?"
Scrimgeour took the parchment and asked doubtfully.
In fact, this was one of the reasons why he was stationed at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Before Dumbledore left, he sought help from the Ministry of Magic, hoping that the Ministry of Magic could send experienced wizards to help defend Hogwarts.
"Fenrir will definitely come. This time the Ministry of Magic's actions against werewolves have gone too far..."
Elena said seriously, glancing at the students laughing and playing not far away, "After the werewolf incident broke out, the Ministry of Magic will definitely become the center of the public opinion storm."
"Cornelly Fudge will not be stupid enough to help Umbridge bear the infamy. The current situation is very clear. In order to deal with the impeachment proposal, he must try his best to remove himself from all kinds of unfavorable public opinion, and between Fudge and Umbridge
Now that Mr. and Mrs. Rich have completely turned against each other, your act of showing kindness to Professor McGonagall will become a vote of confidence."
"...So, that target is me?"
"No, I think it's Professor McGonagall - a drowning ghost. What he likes to do most is drag people down who are about to land."
Elena glanced at Scrimgeour who was hesitant to speak, stood up on tiptoes and patted the other person's shoulder, "This is a war between witches, you can just watch the show."
Scrimgeour had to admit that the Hogwarts Witch's judgment was very accurate.
After he offered to Professor McGonagall to serve as captain of the guard, Umbridge's attention instantly shifted back to Professor McGonagall.
By the end of the day, although Scrimgeour had also been bombarded with letters from owls, Umbridge's side was clearly the center of the whirlpool.
Scrimgeour noticed the young wizards discussing quietly during the break. Maybe they didn't understand the seriousness of the Ministry of Magic's confusion of right and wrong, but at least they had seen with their own eyes Umbridge and the Aurors trying to take Professor Quirrell away from the school.
When the werewolf incident broke out, everyone quickly recalled the incident from their memories.
However, the situation was not as completely one-sided as everyone imagined, and Umbridge made her final move.
"Professor McGonagall was ordered to temporarily suspend classes? Why! How did that woman do it?!"
Hermione looked at the empty desk in shock, then turned to look at Elena next to her who seemed to have expected it.
"Elena, didn't you say that the two candidates have equal power? Why can Umbridge interfere in Professor McGonagall's class!?"
"Well, strictly speaking, it's not an 'order to suspend classes'. Professor McGonagall is just asking everyone to study by themselves for a period of time."
Elena pointed to the suspension instructions on the blackboard in front of her. Before leaving the classroom, the older cat girl left her homework on the blackboard.
There is a provision in the candidate rules for Hogwarts' "acting principal" that the candidate must be a teaching professor.
In response to this point, Umbridge asked Professor McGonagall a multiple-choice question through the Ministry of Magic:
Return to the original content of Transfiguration, or suspend classes and wait for the new theory to pass the 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 perspective.
Magic depends on thinking.
If incorrect and outdated theories are applied to students in the process of shaping their 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 Hogwarts' teaching reform..."
Elena looked at Hermione and explained in a low voice, "When every one of her doubts is resolved and all the procedures and regulations are clear of any problems, we will have a complete set that can be used in any new theory or discipline."
The approval template on -"
"The judging meeting will be held in the Transfiguration Classroom tomorrow night. I secretly obtained two privileged audience seats."
"At that time, Hannah will be on duty outside, and the two of us can go in and watch Professor McGonagall's defense - this may be the highest level academic defense on Transfiguration in recent decades... As for Professor Umbridge, I am
I hope she can provide more constructive suggestions."
