The teachers and students of Hogwarts did not see Umbridge in the Great Hall the next morning.
The shattered foyer quietly returned to its original state at some point, and the atmosphere at the desk of the faculty and staff was harmonious and normal. It was as if all the professors had forgotten the conflict that occurred at Hogwarts yesterday evening, and Professor Umbridge just happened to be sick.
, just failed to appear in the auditorium.
However, just like the students who had been excited all night, the reporters obviously would not forget yesterday's big news.
As the owl carrying the message flew away from the milk jugs and toast slices of the little wizards, the students gathered together in small groups, hoping to find out some content from the newspapers that the professors did not intend to discuss in detail - however,
The students soon discovered that they did not need to "search" at all, because the covers and first few pages of all newspapers were full of "first-hand" breaking news about Umbridge, the Ministry of Magic, and Hogwarts.
Hermione opened the Daily Prophet, and the first thing that caught her eye was the snapshot from yesterday's battle in the foyer.
I have to admit that as one of the top newspapers in the wizarding world today, this newspaper is indeed very skilled in graphics, text, and titles.
Among the broken and messy rubble, Umbridge cast a spell forward with a fierce expression, while her opponent, the old wizard, was telling the onlookers something while casually waving his wand and knocking her away easily——
The image keeps repeating like a GIF.
The caption above the picture is:
"Secret Arrest! Hogwarts = Criminal?"
"The senior officials of the Ministry of Magic suffered a tragic defeat at the hands of the mysterious castle administrator!"
"Umbridge may face indefinite suspension!"
"Umbridge... suspended indefinitely?" Hannah glanced over her head and swallowed a large piece of toast in a good mood, "So we can finally get rid of those annoying, boring black devils who copy books.
Are you on guard? If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have done that homework on the weekend."
"Not sure yet. There is no mention of job changes in Defense Against the Dark Arts. You see..."
Hermione shook her head, opened the newspaper and read aloud.
"Last night, Senior Undersecretary of the Ministry of Magic, Dolores Umbridge, launched a secret arrest operation. She determined that a regular professor at Hogwarts was at high risk and planned to conduct an emergency arrest in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Statute of Secrecy.
He was arrested, but when he finally left Hogwarts, he was stopped and questioned by the new castle administrator Professor Apokalis, and the two sides subsequently had some unpleasant quarrels and pushing behavior——"
"Almost a quarter of the foyer was broken into pieces. What is this called unpleasant pushing and arguing?" Hannah said with a strange expression.
"Don't interrupt, drink your milk and eat your bread!"
Hermione said with a straight face, continuing to read the large report published on the front page of the Daily Prophet.
"——The pushing and shoving behavior later evolved into a magical conflict. Fortunately, Minister of Magic Fudge and Hogwarts Principal Dumbledore happened to be discussing matters related to teaching reform. After learning that the conflict occurred, the two
We rushed to the scene as soon as possible and quickly brought the situation under control."
"It has been learned that Quirinus Quirrell, Professor of Muggle Studies at Hogwarts, has been accused of illegally possessing high-risk Muggle products. To this end, Dolores Umbridge dispatched including Director of the Auror Office Lu
Five elite Aurors, including Firth Scrimgeour, arrived at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, conducted a forcible search, and secretly arrested Quirinus Quirrell. The Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge, later stated that he had no knowledge of this.
.”
"'As the Senior Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Magic, Ms. Umbridge has the right to initiate ministerial orders based on her personal judgment. This is the legal right granted to her by the magical government and magical society. From the perspective of process compliance, I personally don't think there is any problem.
.’ At the subsequent press conference, Minister Cornelius Fudge answered reporters’ questions directly, ‘In her career over the past few decades, Ms. Umbridge has performed at a very high level. I believe in her.
Judgment at a critical moment. But that doesn't mean I think the way she chose to handle this incident was completely correct.'"
"Obviously, as a wizarding school, Hogwarts cannot fully implement the laws of the wizarding society. Forcibly arresting the teachers of underage wizards in front of their eyes is undoubtedly a very bad and ill-considered act. Especially.
It was the problem caused by Ms. Umbridge's dual identity when she was also the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts that the Ministry of Magic had not noticed before."
"In recent months, the cooperation between the Ministry of Magic and Hogwarts has become more frequent and in-depth..."
"The rapid and steady advancement of Hogwarts' new magic curriculum standards (hereinafter referred to as the 'new curriculum standards') is the unanimous vision of both parties. Just last weekend, Minerva, deputy principal of Hogwarts and professor of transfiguration,
·Professor McGonagall published the "Modern Theory of Transfiguration". If the theory is finally determined, it will be possible to replace and overthrow a series of basic theories such as Gamp's Law of Transfiguration that have existed in the magical world for centuries, and restart the field of Transfiguration - and this is just
These are just some of the more dazzling phased achievements in the process of advancing Hogwarts’ new curriculum standards.”
"It is reported that there are many blockbuster academic papers that are already in the preparation stage for publication..."
Hermione glanced at the content below, paused in surprise, and turned her head to look at Luna, who was working hard to stir her own mashed potatoes.
"Luna, your father's name is also mentioned here. This is really weird for the Daily Prophet - look."
"'Ms. Dolores Umbridge was parasitized by the Reflection Monster. She attracted multiple Reflection Monsters. They fought and bit each other in the poor lady's body, disrupting her normal thinking ability.
.' Xenophilius Lovegood, the editor-in-chief of "The Quibbler", commented at last night's press conference, "The Ministry of Magic should remove her redundant position and help this lady get rid of the reflection monster - Reflection.
A monster is an invisible [unspeakable monster] that easily attaches itself to the souls of powerful people - school is not a suitable place for a reflection monster to live!'"
"This is normal. Dad said before that the magazine editors of the Daily Prophet are just a little slow and arrogant, but when the truth of the world is clearly presented before their eyes, they will make some progress."
The Quibbler is the best magazine in the wizarding world, and to quote the editor of the best magazine in the world, it's nothing to be alarmed about, but..."
Luna shook her head calmly, glanced at the newspaper in Hermione's hand, frowned slightly, and said in confusion.
"I remember that reflection monsters don't bite and fight. They should grab your throat as silently as darkness, make it difficult for you to breathe and then start talking crazy and nonsense, and reflection monsters are reflection monsters, there is nothing [
"Unspeakable Monster" is such a strange name."
"It's like in class, the professor teaches exactly the same content, but everyone's academic performance is different."
Elena explained casually while cutting the egg tarts.
"Those reporters, editors, and aunts heard Mr. Lovegood's story with their own ears for the first time. The level of absorption and mastery depends entirely on their own understanding. It's normal to have more or less - you
Don’t forget, there are many similar situations in Potions class.”
"But, this is too incredible, isn't it?!"
Hermione said with a strange expression, looking over the newspaper in her hand several times.
"Reflection monsters, harassing flies, curved-horned snore beasts... these things sound like they are made up, but the "Daily Prophet" and "Wizard Weekly" will actually publish them in current affairs news in a serious and serious manner.
point of view, anyway, I just don’t believe it——”
Hermione glanced at Luna, who raised her eyebrows angrily, and launched a defensive attack rather forcefully.
“Unless you catch one and show it to me, those are fictional creatures that don’t exist. There are no records of these creatures in any book, including Professor Newt Scamander’s Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.
No. Elena, these are actually advertisements, right? Advertisements placed to promote "The Quibbler"? Otherwise there is no way to explain it..."
"This is not an advertisement, they read Mr. Lovegood's intelligence."
Elena shrugged her shoulders, shook the fork in her hand, and whispered mysteriously...
"Hermione, do you remember the flash of light after Mr. Lovegood finished speaking last night? That was a great piece of adult wisdom."
The moment Mr. Lovegood spoke last night, Elena anticipated what might happen next.
It is the fate of the speaker to be misunderstood, and it is not that important what Mr. Lovegood really meant to portray.
What's important is how people view and understand this top media personality who is in charge of "The Quibbler."
Today's Xenophilius Lovegood is not the crazy idealist he was a few years ago.
As the apparent helmsman and creator of many popular emerging sub-magazines such as A Bite of Hogwarts, Into the Magic, and Lovegood, Xenophilius Lowe
Fugood is almost an eccentric genius who is almost deified in today's wizarding press.
And of course, when people interpret Lovegood's words from this standpoint, strange things happen.
A vicious political metaphor.
This is a brand-new method of publicity that has never appeared in the magical world before.
