Chapter 487 Teachers teach students and Dumbledore returns

Elena certainly knew the general situation of Umbridge! After all, when she just graduated, Umbridge appeared in the Foley Manor as Yang Tian's connection. At that time, the former deputy minister was extremely respectful to Yang Tian. More importantly, Umbridge was talking and laughing with old Barty, Mrs. Zabini and others at that time, and seemed to be friends in the same trench... These details are still fresh in Elena's memory, and made her doubt the real winner of this meeting. However, she clearly knows where her heart is, and she knows who she wants to help... So, now she wants to figure out how much her teacher guessed...

"I don't blame you for not being able to guess it this time. After all, you and Umbridge are not familiar with each other. But based on my many years of experience working with her, I know that she is not the kind of person who is blindly loyal." Amelia smiled mysteriously, as if everything was under her control: "Until now, I still remember how she looked when she fell heavily and was kicked out of the Ministry of Magic. No one said a word for her, not even her former master Fudge! At that time, I saw Umbridge's hateful and hidden eyes towards Fudge... and with her strength and vindictiveness, it would have been good enough if she hadn't killed Fudge in this life. How could she follow Fudge so wholeheartedly?" Amelia recalled the scene at that time with a disdainful smile on her face.

"You mean, Umbridge is not on Fudge's side?" Elena looked confused. "Then why did Fudge strongly recommend this woman?"

"Isn't this simple? Fudge was deceived. He ridiculously believed in the other party's loyalty." Amelia's expression remained calm.

"Minister Fudge is a veteran politician after all. Is he really that easy to fool?" Elena found it a little unbelievable.

"It's not that he's easy to fool, but that he's too confident!" Amelia said with a playful smile, "Umbridge relied on his support all the way to step by step to the position of Deputy Minister of Magic. If she didn't have another strong backer, her loyalty would be too natural... Moreover, old Barty grasped the timing very well this time. Just when Fudge's team was in a period of shortage of successors, he squeezed out a position... and this position eventually fell into Umbridge's hands..."

"You mean, Umbridge is Mr. Crouch's person?" Elena looked incredulous.

"That may not be the case. It's just that the coincidence makes me think more. As for Umbridge's current affiliation, I can only say that there are many possibilities." Amelia shrugged, but a trace of confusion flashed in her eyes: I just hope she is not on old Barty's side, otherwise... I can only make a choice as soon as possible..."

......

The consequences of the Dementor attack on Hogwarts came and went quickly. The campus was still like a paradise, well protected. Even if the outside world was in turmoil, it was still as peaceful as water. And reassuring news came one after another.

Scrimgeour's apology statement was published in the Daily Prophet the next day, and the Dementors gradually retreated, replaced by teams of strikers.

On Monday, Harry said goodbye to the infirmary and returned to the bustling campus. But he was not in a good mood, because of him, Gryffindor lost to Slytherin. Although his classmates did not blame him too much, and even encouraged him, he was still in a gloomy mood...

Then, Professor Lupin also returned to work, and it looked as if he had really been ill. The young wizards found that his old robes were looser than before, and there were deep dark circles under his eyes. But because of his return, the Defense Against the Dark Arts class was full of laughter and joy again...

When the campus gradually returned to peace and the young wizards were immersed in their intense study life, Dumbledore finally returned to Hogwarts. The first thing he did after returning to the principal's office was to ask Nagini to call Yang Tian over...

"Principal Dumbledore, are you looking for me?" Yang Tian gently pushed open the door of the principal's office and asked curiously.

"Come in, little guy, you are still as jokey as ever." Dumbledore said with a smile. It can be seen that he is in a very good mood now.

Upon hearing this, Yang Tian stopped pretending and hurriedly walked in happily.

"I have heard from Minerva about what happened in the school before. You did a good job. Fudge has been a little too eager for quick success recently. It seems that it is time to have a good talk with him." Dumbledore said as he made a cup of tea for the little guy.

"It's no big deal. I am still confident that I can deal with those Dementors." Yang Tian answered easily.

Dumbledore did not continue to dwell on this issue, but directly opened the next topic: "The main purpose of calling you here this time is to let you use your expertise... I believe you should already know that I have not been in Hogwarts for some time. In fact, I went to Finland and conducted a detailed investigation of the circus there."

Yang Tian's heart was shocked when he heard this. He listened quietly with anticipation, afraid of missing any important details.

"The circus itself doesn't have any big problems. Although it's quite large, it's still just a circus. The identities of their members are relatively simple. Even those who are in charge of shady businesses can be traced. In the final analysis, they are just following orders. Although they have done a lot of bad things, the harm they have caused is not great." Dumbledore said firmly: "The only strange thing is the director of this circus. He is the key figure in the whole incident. Moreover, I always have a feeling that he is the same person as the director I met when I was young..."

Dumbledore's words were like a thunderbolt, exploding in Yang Tian's heart, and his thoughts instantly returned to Nagini's previous report. At that time, Nagini had also mentioned that this person had many similarities with the leader of the year, even some subtle movements were very similar. Could it be that there was another hidden story behind this?

"Then how does the principal want me to use my special talents?" Yang Tian was really confused at this moment: "You have already exposed the circus's bottom line, what else do you want me to do? You can't go to Finland to fight against the circus, right?"
