The school dinner was very sumptuous on Valentine's Day night. Even Ryan, who had eaten a lot of snacks in Hogsmeade before, also ate a lot during dinner.
Unlike the middle school where Ryan attended in his previous life, Hogwarts has always taken a neutral or even slightly encouraging stance towards romance among senior students. Because the British wizarding community is so large, most people will find their future partners in school.
Not to mention that the British wizarding community has been facing the problem of underpopulation. Everyone hopes that students can get married immediately after graduation. Then it is best to have more children.
For example, Ginny told Hermione that in the wizarding world, you get maternity benefits after the third child is born, and the more children you have, the more subsidies you will get. This also explains why so many children in the Weasley family only rely on Weasley.
How does Mr. Sly, a low-level employee of the Ministry of Magic, support himself? Of course, the amount of this subsidy is not too much, so the Weasley family can afford to raise their children, but their lives are still tight.
Because of this habit in the magical world, the banquet on Valentine's Day night will naturally be a little more sumptuous than usual. However, unlike other holidays, this holiday is not normally celebrated openly.
"Harry, what's wrong with you?" Ryan, who was eating a piece of roast beef, saw Harry sitting opposite looking a little tired, so he asked curiously.
"Ginny and Ron are both training today, and Sirius is also busy. Walking around Hogsmeade alone is really boring." Harry said depressedly. "Not to mention that Heigla dragged me and talked about a lot of strange things.
, I can tell he's unhappy and hiding something, but he seems determined not to accept help. Anyway, I'm having a terrible day. How are you and Hermione today?"
"It's very good, and I also chatted with Lupine." Ryan said after swallowing the beef in his mouth.
"Oh my god, I actually got sidetracked from you. I guess I just came out of the Three Broomsticks when you entered. Otherwise, it would be nice to have a chat with Lupin." Harry looked a little annoyed.
In the common room after dinner, Hermione was writing her homework, while Ryan sat opposite her and deduced a lot of rune formulas on parchment that looked very complicated, and he would even take out a metal plate.
What is engraved on it?
"Hi, good evening." Suddenly the twins came out from behind.
"It's so complicated." Fred said after taking a look at the runes carved by Ryan on the silver plate. "This is why we can at most make some magic items but not alchemy products. I guess such boring things can't be made."
Only you can persist in your research."
"You have to know that both Dumbledore and the mysterious man have invested a lot in the pursuit of knowledge, and their strength comes from this. So it doesn't hurt to do more research when you have free time." Ryan made a little mention.
Question: "By the way, I see you are sitting in the stands of the Quidditch stadium today watching our academy train. How are the newbies?"
"Ron and Ginny aren't here?" Fred pulled up a chair and looked around. Seeing Harry shaking his head, he said, "That's good. Although they are our younger siblings, we still have to say that we are here.
After watching the entire training session, we felt that they would lose miserably and that without us, they would be a complete pile of rubbish."
"Don't say that." George interrupted his brother. "Ginny is not bad, even far beyond expectations. To be honest, she is already very good at reaching this level. Compared with him, Ron is simply inferior.
Like our little brother."
"Is it that bad?" Hermione raised her head from behind a pile of thick books and asked. "He is also your brother who trained with you since childhood. Is it that bad?"
"Let's put it this way, if no one is looking at him, he can pounce." Fred said dejectedly, "Maybe we can only win when he is alone on the court."
The twins' prediction was correct. In Saturday's game, Gryffindor still failed 230:240 despite catching the Golden Snitch. It was not just a problem with the goalkeeper, but all the newbies were losing their chains. It is worth celebrating.
The game ended in only 22 minutes. At the same time, Ginny finally saved a little face and made the score less ugly.
On Monday, the latest issue of "The Quibbler" was published and swept the castle as quickly as possible. On the cover was a photo of Umbridge proudly issuing an education order, and underneath it was written in cursive letters: "
Umbridge's Struggle."
"Dolores Jane Umbridge is the eldest daughter of Alford Umbridge and Ellen Cranell, and the only daughter in the family." This article completely exposed Umbridge's background.
, especially the detailed description of how she convinced her father to accept a small stipend and retire early, thereby ensuring that he would be quickly lost in her world. And how she claimed that your father was a Wizengamot during his lifetime.
An outstanding figure, and brings misfortune to those who ask for the truth.
In addition to her private discussions about how to secretly use "their dues" against non-magical groups, Lane noted that her theories even made many Slytherin students uncomfortable.
The most important thing is that it is clearly pointed out at the end of the article that when Fudge, the Minister of Magic, thought that Dumbledore might take his position because he was murdered, Umbridge took advantage of it, including inciting Fudge's vanity and panic.
A series of other means allowed him to climb to the highest level of power, and at the same time made him believe that he was one of the few people he could trust.
"I hope Fudge can fight with Umbridge, or at least distract Umbridge from focusing on school all the time." Ginny said excitedly in the common room.
"It would be great if things can really develop like this, but I am really worried that this article will stimulate Umbridge and make her do some more extreme things in school." Hermione was not so optimistic, but the fact is
This was quickly proven.
A few days later, Ryan and Hermione were writing in the library when they heard a noise coming from downstairs. They didn't pay attention to it at first, but then the sound got louder and louder.
"What happened?" Hermione raised her head, "Why did Mrs. Pince, who rarely leaves the library, go downstairs? Is this something big?"
"Let's go take a look." Ryan said, packed his things and ran downstairs with Hermione. As a result, he saw Professor Dumbledore announcing that as the headmaster, he had the right to let the fired Trelawney continue to live in the castle.
"I can't believe that this cow actually dared to make such a big move under such circumstances." Hermione frowned and said.
"As expected." Ryan said with his arms folded in front of his chest. "At this time, Umbridge must show her absolute loyalty to Fudge. Firing a professor on Dumbledore's side is the best way to show her position.
Already."
At this time, Umbridge began to question what if there was a new Divination teacher? Dumbledore said that he had already found a new professor.
"Looking at Umbridge, she would never have thought that Professor Dumbledore could find the Divination professor so quickly." Looking at the stunned Umbridge, Hermione smiled happily.
"Yes, the Ministry of Magic went too far this time." Ryan turned to Hermione and said. "The principal just hopes to unite more people when facing the mysterious man, but this does not mean that he will completely
Give in. As the world's number one white wizard, Dumbledore counterattacked this time in the hope that Fudge would stop, and not allow the mysterious man to seize the opportunity to defeat us all because of internal strife."
"Will this help?" Hermione asked.
"Professor Dumbledore thinks it's useful." Ryan put down the hand he was holding on his chest and spread it out. "But I think Fudge, who has been completely blinded by power, may not understand our principal's kindness, and may even do something like this."
