"...The most important thing is that this group of Muggle professors are all Muggles from the former Soviet Union."
"Therefore, our Ministry of Magic does not need to pay any remuneration for this group of people. Just the potatoes grown at Hogwarts can be used as remuneration. After all, they are just a group of fleeing Muggles. There is a place that is willing to pay them.
It's already good enough to take them in. It's not their turn to use the gold galleons or anything like that."
Umbridge raised her eyebrows contemptuously and ended the topic with a slightly mocking laugh.
Immediately afterwards, the wand in the witch's hand lightly tapped on the table, erasing the writing on it.
The shape of the wand is very similar to her own. It is very short. The dark wood is made into densely packed concentric rings, which looks a bit disgusting. An exaggerated pink gemstone divides the wand into two parts.
After a moment of silence, Bones, the director of the Legal Enforcement Department, frowned and said with some concern.
"I'm worried that if we make good promises now, when those Muggles arrive, Hogwarts will ask for more financial subsidies. With Albus Dumbledore's reputation, as long as he lowers his face and takes the initiative to ask, we will still
It’s hard to say no.”
During this period of time, everyone can feel the changes in Dumbledore.
Compared with the patron saint of the wizarding world who once refused to take any hard measures, Albus Dumbledore is now more like an elder statesman who has been immersed in politics for many years. Whether it is dealing with people or discussing negotiations, he shows his integrity everywhere
A perfect tact and sophistication, this is naturally what the Ministry of Magic officials want to see.
Of course, this also proves what Fudge has been firm about for a long time - the omnipotent Albus Dumbledore is not unskilled in politics, but he was just too lazy to spend energy dealing with ordinary officials in the past.
There is no doubt that as the Minister of Magic personally recommended by Albus Dumbledore, Cornelius Fudge and the members of the current leadership team of the Ministry of Magic have different statuses in Dumbledore's mind, which means that for
Government respect.
Hearing Amelia Bones' confusion, Cornelius Fudge smiled and shook his head.
"Professor Dumbledore will probably not make any more demands. If he really needs it, his character will definitely say it in advance or at least leave some room for it, instead of blocking his own way and leaving the matter in our hands.
.Hogwarts, the wizarding world, and the Ministry of Magic are, after all, an ever-rising ladder, and as the principal, he naturally understands that."
"For so many years, Professor Dumbledore has been obsessed with teaching and educating people, hoping that his students will become better and better. However, the excellence of a wizard is not only determined by school results, but also by their evaluation for most of their lives.
, we still have to rely on the wizarding world, or our Ministry of Magic to complete it. Now, whether it is the introduction of Muggle education or his change of attitude, I think it is a message seeking cooperation. After all, it is all for the students.
.”
"Mr. Minister is right," John Deliss nodded. "As for the recent reform of Hogwarts, most people in the wizarding world and the ministry also think so. I asked several people who have children who are attending Hogwarts.
Colleagues who are studying at Hogwarts all said that although Dumbledore has implemented frequent changes in the school this year, they are all aimed at supplementary improvements in the details of the students' lives...such as improving food, strengthening their bodies, etc.
Strengthen practical skills and consolidate basic knowledge..."
"It's just...Professor Dumbledore's recent changes are still a bit disturbing."
Amelia Bones glanced at Delis, hesitated for a while and couldn't help but say one more thing.
"I'm worried about whether..."
As a member of the Wizengamot Court, her opportunities for direct contact with Dumbledore were actually no less than those of Cornelius Fudge and others. Because of this, she could feel Albus Dumbledore better.
Such strange changes recently.
How should I put it? Although there is nothing wrong with his expression, appearance, clothes, or magic power, Amelia Borth always feels that there is always an unseemly look in Albus Dumbledore's eyes these days.
Joking, just like those wizards who deceived the jury through sophistry in court and successfully exonerated themselves,
"Oh, Director Bones, you have an occupational disease..."
Umbridge laughed softly, her hoarse voice trying to imitate a little girl, her eyes narrowed like a large pink toad squatting on a lotus leaf, and she spoke in a high-pitched voice.
"What are you worried about? Albus Dumbledore was hit by the Imperius Curse, or someone broke into the headmaster's office at Hogwarts, drank Polyjuice Potion and turned into Dumbledore to discuss education with the wizarding world.
Reform? Compared to these, I would rather believe the latest joke in "The New Quibbler" - after the mysterious man returns, the first thing he does is to go to Hogwarts to teach students how to defend against dark magic.
.”
Cornelius Fudge also smiled and patted his knee, with a relaxed look on his face.
"That book "The New Quibbler" is indeed quite interesting. At least now people know that it is full of ridiculous jokes, and it has played a role in curbing the rumors. It's a pity that Xenophilius Lovegood
People's brains are not normal. I have been in contact with him before, so I can't expect him to write some truth..."
"Speaking of which, I heard that Quirrell, the original Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, was admitted to St. Mungo's Hospital? Now he was temporarily replaced by an old wizard hired from who knows where? His name was Otto Apokalis? Yes.
Won't……"
Cuthbert Mockridge, director of the Goblin Liaison Office, asked curiously.
He finally found a place where he could interject. He had read that issue of "The New Quibbler" and even made a special contribution to comment on it, and carefully learned about the current situation of formal professors at Hogwarts.
"I know this matter well. The old wizard is completely reliable. There is no need to discuss this anymore."
Cornelius Fudge waved his hand, ended the topic, and exchanged glances with several high-ranking officials around him.
Regarding the temporary hiring of the legendary wizard "Paracelsus" from Austria, Dumbledore had already reported to the Ministry of Magic and the International Council of Wizards a long time ago, but ordinary people like Mockridge
Officials are naturally not qualified to have access to secret information at this level, so they are a little confused.
"It's you...Director Mockridge, what's going on with the goblins in Gringotts now..."
