Chapter 221 Dolores Umbridge

Soon the game started again.
Douglas didn't pay attention to the follow-up of the game, and dragged the reluctant Sirius towards the principal's office.
The first thing he did when he returned to the office was that Douglas arranged for Dobby to send the wooden sign that had been made to Bill.
There was still a difference between this batch of wooden signs and the ones given to Harry.
Harry's one is mainly prepared for dementors, so it can cast the Patronus Charm.
And this batch of wooden cards Douglas did not store the Patronus Charm inside, but when encountering black magic with large fluctuations in magic power, he could release the Iron Armor Curse three times on his own.
An hour later, Douglas saw the Minister of Magic Fudge leading people into the castle through the window.
Then soon he received a voice transmission from Dumbledore's patron saint, asking him to go there.
After Douglas arranged for Sirius, he walked straight to the principal's office.
After passing the spiral staircase behind the stone monster, he was about to push open the door of the principal's office when he heard Fudge's very dissatisfied voice coming from inside:
"Albus, this time there are more than a dozen, not one!"
Dumbledore's voice was very cold:
"Connelly, why did the dementors rush into the school, you promised me!"
Fudge's tone suddenly weakened, and he tried his best to say calmly:
"That...probably...you know they've been searching for so long..."
At this time, a sharp and thin voice first let out a burst of silver bell-like laughter, and then said:
"I think I must have misunderstood you, Professor Dumbledore, you seem to be questioning our esteemed Minister for Magic?
The problem shouldn't lie with those cute children who cast the Patronus Charm at will. I can't figure out why this kind of advanced magic is so rampant in Hogwarts?
You should know that this flood of magic will seriously affect the work of the dementors in the future, especially this time, I think they must have found traces of Black at Hogwarts, right minister. "
Fudge nodded quickly and said:
"Of course, the leader of the dementors reported this way, but it's a pity that it was interrupted at the most critical time."
At this moment, Douglas pushed open the door of the principal's office and said coldly:
"It seems that if you have time, you should go back to Hogwarts to make up the Defense Against the Dark Arts course. I think they entered Hogwarts regardless of the agreement because the joy radiating from the stadium is an impossible game for them. A feast of refusal. And the Patronus spell can only expel dementors, but cannot harm them...
Professor, as a professional Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, I can make this judgment. "
Halfway through Douglas' words, he was afraid that he couldn't help pulling out his wand, so he turned his head directly to Dumbledore.
Beside Fudge stood a short, stout face with a broad, flabby face, a neck so short it was almost invisible, eyes very large and round and slightly protruding, and a large, drooping mouth.
After Douglas came in, the other party first looked at Douglas with questioning eyes, and then seemed to recognize him, with an indescribable expression on his face, just like a big toad ready to stick out its long tongue to catch flies at any time.
Douglas recognized at a glance that the other party was Dolores Umbridge, who had just been promoted to Senior Deputy Minister of Magic not long ago.
Before that, the other party was the director of the Office of the Prohibition of the Misuse of Magic of the Ministry of Magic. Before Douglas became an adult, in order to secretly use magic outside the school, he did a lot of research on the legal loopholes and staff of the Prohibition of the Misuse of Magic Office.
Of course, the most important thing is that according to the information inquired by his editor, Slane, she is the signatory of the order prohibiting the release of his new book.
(The Misuse of Magic Office is responsible for punishing wizards who violate the International Statute of Secrecy, as well as enforcing the Reasonable Restraint of Underage Wizarding Act.)
As soon as Douglas finished speaking, Fudge saw that it was Douglas who came in, and said with a smile:
"It turned out to be Professor Holmes. Of course, what you said is very reasonable. After all, as the first person to be re-elected as a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts in the past few decades, of course it represents authority.
Just so I wanted to ask, what do you think about the disappearance of the dementors? "
Fudge was all smiles and looked very sincere.
Although Douglas scolded hypocritical politicians in his heart, he still said:
"As far as I know a dementor is not a loyal creature..."
Before he finished speaking, Umbridge's high-pitched and thin voice interrupted him directly:
"Mr. Holmes, this is groundless speculation. The Ministry of Magic has a good control over the dementors. They have been loyal to the Ministry of Magic for nearly three centuries. Of course, only wizards like us with heritage will know this. "
Douglas looked calm, didn't look at her at all, but stopped talking, but found a chair and sat down on his own, then took out a banana from his arms and ate it, then looked expectantly at Fudge and the others .
With this look of watching a play, even the excellent politician Fudge's expression froze.
Since Dumbledore came in, he never said anything like asking them to sit down and chat. As the Minister of Magic, he was standing still. After a young professor came in, he found a place to sit down by himself.
Anxious for the leadership, Umbridge said directly to Dumbledore:
"Hehe, Professor Dumbledore, I didn't expect the atmosphere in the school to be so relaxed. Although I don't want to criticize the way you manage the school staff, Hogwarts is also part of the British wizarding community and is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Magic."
Dumbledore, who had been watching the show since Douglas came in, blinked when he heard Umbridge's question:
"Of course, only the Ministry of Magic stands in this room, condescendingly interrogating the headmaster and professors of Hogwarts. This is my greatest respect for the Ministry of Magic."
When Dumbledore said this, Douglas was taken aback for a moment. He thought that Dumbledore would take advantage of the opportunity to directly ask the Ministry of Magic to sit down and let everyone chat slowly.
Not only him, but the Ministry of Magic didn't expect to hear such an answer. This made Fudge, who was planning to follow suit and find a chair to sit on, showed a constipated expression on his face.
After Dumbledore finished speaking, he glanced at Douglas again, and continued:
"For today's incident, thanks to Douglas teaching the Patronus Charm to the students in advance, no students were harmed in such a dangerous situation. If you have any questions, you can talk to him directly."
Douglas has no objection to this. After all, it is something he created by himself, and it really should be resolved by himself.
Fudge looked at Douglas and didn't speak. He probably thought that his level was equal to Dumbledore's in official business.
Umbridge on the side understood what Fudge meant, stood up and continued to say to Douglas:
"Oh, look how rude I am, I haven't introduced myself yet. I'm Dolores Umbridge, Senior Undersecretary for Magic, and you may call him Undersecretary Umbridge.
Going back to the original question, the Ministry of Magic hopes that Hogwarts can give an explanation about the dementors disappearing at Hogwarts twice.
And as far as I know, it was your Patronus who first interfered with the dementor search on these two occasions. How can Mr. Holmes explain this? "
Douglas ignored Umbridge at all, and looked straight at Fudge.
Douglas' ignorance made Umbridge's eyes almost fall out of anger.
Fudge frowned and said:
"As the senior deputy minister of the Ministry of Magic, Dolores can completely replace my attitude, Professor Holmes!"
Douglas didn't pay attention to the follow-up of the game, and dragged the reluctant Sirius towards the principal's office.
