Chapter 10 Pushing Step by Step
"I think after this lesson, Porter should be more sober. Not all professors are so easy to talk to - to be honest, compared to Umbridge, Snape's attitude towards students is already quite tolerant." Silver held Crook Hill and said to Hermione.
"Anyway, I think Umbridge is too much." Hermione wrote the essay on the history of magic, "I can't accept her teaching philosophy."
"This is what the Ministry of Magic means, Umbridge represents the attitude of the Ministry of Magic. Some people in the Ministry of Magic think Dumbledore has taken control of Hogwarts." Silver scratched Crook Hill's chin, and Crook Hill snored with satisfaction.
"What does this mean?" Hermione stopped the quill in her hand.
"It's literally, Hermione." Silver blinked, "In fact, it's not just the people of the Ministry of Magic, but many school directors hope that President Dumbledore would be less great."
"It's incredible, Professor Dumbledore clearly—"
"President Dumbledore is the most powerful principal in Hogwarts in modern times. He has great magic power and outstanding reputation. After defeating the dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald who swept most of Europe at that time, he almost became the Minister of Magic." Silver smiled, "Of course, he was not elected as Minister of Magic in the end. The outside world generally believes that Dumbledore is a noble character and is more willing to engage in education. But in fact, the strong opposition of the wizard nobles is the biggest reason why Dumbledore did not take office as Minister of Magic."
"Why is this?" Hermione asked.
"Because a strong leader is not a good thing for the wizard nobles. After all, no one wants to see another wizard emperor. No matter what Dumbledore thinks himself, once a wizard like him takes up the position of minister, everything will be unpredictable."
Hermione shook her head in disbelief, "It's so unimaginable, oh. What is this."
The owl who delivered the letter suddenly flew in and threw down today's Prophet Daily.
Hermione took a breath of air conditioning. She unfolded the newspaper and revealed a large picture of Dolores Umbridge. She smiled and blinked at them one by one, with the title: The Ministry of Magic seeks educational reforms Dolores Umbridge was appointed as the first senior investigator.
"Umbridge, senior investigator?" Hermione said with a frown, and the quill slipped down from her fingers.
"Read it to me, Hermione, I'm curious, too," Silver said.
Hermione thought: "In a temporary operation last night, the Ministry of Magic passed a new ordinance, bringing its control over the Hogwarts School of Magic to an unprecedented level."
“For some time, the minister has been increasingly uneasy about the current situation in Hogwarts,” said Assistant Minister Percy Weasley. “He took action after hearing about the concerns of parents, and worried parents felt that the school seemed to be moving in a direction they disapprove.”
In recent weeks, it is not the first time that Minister Connelly Forge has adopted a new decree to implement improvements to the magic school. Just recently on August 30, the Ministry of Magic passed the Education Order No. 22, ensuring that if the current principal cannot provide a candidate for a certain teaching position, the Ministry of Magic will recommend a suitable candidate.
"It seems that this is how Dolores Umbridge was appointed as a teacher at Hogwarts," Silver said. "Dumbledore could not find anyone. Our Minister Fudge appointed Umbridge.
"Wait, I haven't finished reading yet," said Hermione.
"Umbridge's reforms were immediate and were immediately successful, which led to a breakthrough change in the Dark Magic Defense Arts Class. He also provided the Minister with on-site feedback on the real situation of Hogwarts."
The recent interim action officially came into effect due to the passage of the Ministry of Magic's Education Order No. 23, and at the same time, the new position of Hogwarts Senior Investigator was produced.
“This is an exciting new move in the minister’s plan to try to control the so-called decline in education at Hogwarts,” said Assistant Minister Percy Weasley. “Investigation officers will have the authority to review her faculty colleagues and make sure they all meet the standards. Professor Umbridge was awarded this position outside of his faculty and we are pleased to tell everyone she has accepted it.”
These new measures from the Ministry of Magic have received enthusiastic support from parents of Hogwarts students.
"I feel much more at ease now that Dumbledore will receive a fair and objective evaluation," said Mr. Lucius Malfoy, 41, at his Wiltshire mansion last night. "Many of us who care about our children's vital interests have been worried about Dumbledore's weird decisions in recent years, and now we are very pleased to know that the Ministry of Magic is paying close attention to this situation."
Those weird decisions, undoubtedly including the appointment of controversial faculty and staff, have commented on this newspaper, including the hiring of werewolf Remus Lupin, the one-half mixed-race giant Ruber Hager, and the fake former Auror "crazy-eyed man" Moody.
Of course, there are also rumors that Albus Dumbledore, once the chairman of the International Federation of Magicians and the chief magician of Wisengamo, is no longer able to assume the heavy responsibility of managing the prestigious school of Hogwarts.
"I think appointing an investigative officer is the first step to ensuring Hogwarts has a principal we can all trust," an insider of the Department of Magic said last night.
Vessengamor veterans Grissier Damacbans and Tiberus Ogden resigned for protesting the appointment of an investigative officer to Hogwarts.
“Hogwarts is a school, not an outpost of Connelly Fudge’s office,” said Mrs. Mark Bans. “It was an abominable act to further corrupt Albus Dumbledore’s reputation.”
(For detailed reports on Mrs. Mark Bans being accused of secretly colluding with the fairy subverting group, please see the seventeenth edition of this newspaper.) Hermione finished reading and looked at Silver.
"It seems that Minister Foggy can't wait to replace Dumbledore. It's really strange why he still did this." Silver thoughtfully, "But the situation is clear now. Hermione, don't contradict Umbridge. Now the Ministry of Magic fully supports her approach. If you really don't want to attend class, you can ask Professor McGonagall for a fake note, and Mrs. Pomfrey's place is OK."
"What are you talking about?" Hermione said angrily, "I have already issued a fake sick leave note to accompany you last time, and I want to open it again."
"...Okay, but you have to sit next to me. To be honest, I'm not too relieved to you, after all, you are a Gryffindor."
