Chapter 504: The End of Umbridge

The news of the mysterious man's return caused a huge wave in the entire magical world.

The Ministry of Magic has officially confirmed it, and there is no objection.

What's even more shocking is that the mysterious man also captured Azkaban and attacked the Ministry of Magic with the Death Eaters, killing the previous Minister of Magic Cornelius Fudge.

The ruined hall of the Ministry of Magic in the news stimulated the nerves of every wizard, making them recall the horror of the mysterious man.

In anxiety, people spent a not-so-happy Christmas holiday.

Even after school started, the students in the castle looked nervous, and the ease and laughter of the past were long gone.

Wherever you go, you can hear rumors about the attack. Some even start to worry about whether the You-Know-Who will bring Death Eaters to attack Hogwarts.

In order to prevent students from falling into panic and losing their focus on studying, professors took turns to ensure the safety of the school. At the same time, the prefects of each college were also tasked with calming the emotions of the little wizards and eliminating their fears.

"These guys have no common sense at all," Ron said with a look of disapproval, "How could the You-Know-Who break into Hogwarts? Professor Swann and Professor Dumbledore are both here. There is no safer place than here."

"They don't even use their brains. If it's dangerous here, how could the Ministry of Magic and St. Mungo's Hospital move to the new city of Hogsmeade?!"

During this holiday season, there is another piece of news that is just as hot as the return of the You-Know-Who: The Return of the Ministry of Magic and St. Mungo's.

All news media are reporting on the advantages of the new town of Hogsmeade, which can be summarized as being lively, convenient for living, and most importantly, safe.

In just a few days, the wizarding world was swept by a craze for moving to the new city of Hogsmeade. Fortunately, the new city had undergone secondary development and its area had expanded a lot, so it was able to easily accommodate this wave of people.

"I'm so tired. I've been explaining things to these little guys all morning. My voice is almost hoarse!"

Arriving at the auditorium, Ron poured himself a full glass of pumpkin juice without hesitation and drank it down in one gulp.

"Drink slowly, Ron, don't choke." Hermione also poured herself a glass of pumpkin juice and sat next to Ron, drinking it in small sips. Ron was not a class leader, and he worked so hard just to help her.

"By the way, Ron," Harry sat down opposite Ron, his tone somewhat concerned, "Are your parents still unwilling to move to the new city of Hogsmeade?"

"I don't know if you've seen the news. In order to ensure the safety of New City, Professor Swan and his team temporarily left Swan Manor and moved into the headquarters of Swan Alchemy in New City."

At the Order of the Phoenix meeting before the end of the holiday, Lupin proposed that the Weasleys also move to the new town of Hogsmeade, after all, it was safer there.

However, Mr. Weasley rejected the proposal and declined to hold a family meeting to discuss it further.

This delay lasted until the start of the school year, and until today Ron hadn't mentioned that their family was moving, which made Harry a little worried.

"Don't mention it... I still don't want to." When Ron talked about this, his face was filled with gloom.

To be honest, the brothers had long thought about moving. After all, after the mysterious man officially returned, the situation of their Weasley family became even more dangerous.

There is no telling how many Death Eaters are ready to wipe out this family of pure-blood traitors and then take credit for it from the You-Know-Who.

Hermione couldn't help but ask with concern, "I heard that Cedric's family has moved to the new city. Aren't your two families living close to each other? Do you want to use this to persuade your parents?"

"We know," Ron scratched his hair in annoyance, "Not only Cedric, but also the Luna family who live very close to us have moved to the new city of Hogsmeade under the persuasion of Professor Swann."

"Professor Swan also came to persuade my parents, but they still didn't want to move."

"Why?" Harry couldn't understand why Mr. Weasley was so stubborn. "Are you short of money? I can lend you some."

"It's not about money," Ginny came to sit next to Harry and whispered, "Dad is an employee of the Ministry of Magic, so he can easily get a loan to buy a house. In addition, Bill, Charlie, Percy, Fred and George have all expressed that they can come up with some money to let the family buy a big house in the new city."

As she spoke, she glanced at Ron and said, "Even Ron is willing to contribute his small savings to help the family buy a house."

"And Professor Swann, he also said that if my parents buy a house in the new city, he can make the decision and give us a 50% discount."

this......

If it’s not because of money, then what is it because of?

Harry looked confused and waited for Ginny to continue explaining.

"Dad said," Ginny looked around and lowered her voice again, "The Burrow is the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix. With the existence of the Fidelius Charm, safety can be guaranteed."

"But I think the bigger reason is that the Burrow was built bit by bit by him and his mother, and they are a little reluctant to leave there."

So that’s how it is…it’s hard to leave one’s hometown!

Harry nodded, and thinking of the effect of the Fidelius Charm, he decided not to give any more advice.

At this moment, a noise came from a distance. Umbridge, the senior investigator of the Ministry of Magic and professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts, was about to be dismissed by Professor Swann. In addition, a team of Aurors entered Hogwarts, saying that they wanted to take Umbridge away.

Now, no one could sit down and eat lunch in peace. Even some greedy Hufflepuffs took two jam pies and followed the crowd to the courtyard in front of the castle.

At this moment, there was no trace of arrogance on Umbridge's face. Her flat, round face, like a toad, was full of fear. From the thick dark circles under her eyes, it can be seen that she must not have slept well recently.

She had already learned about Fudge's death from the news. Without her biggest backer, she knew she was completely finished.

Originally, she thought she would be kicked out of Hogwarts soon, so she spent the holiday in fear all day long.

In fact, the reason why Umbridge was able to stay until now was entirely because Sebastian and Dumbledore were too busy and completely forgot about this guy.

Today was the first day of school, and Sebastian just remembered that there was such a disgusting guy, so he decisively called the Auror and exercised the power of the vice-principal at the same time.

"Dolores Umbridge, you are not qualified to teach Defense Against the Dark Arts."

"In the name of the vice-chancellor, you are fired!"

"No! You're just the vice-principal, you have no right to do this!"

Sebastian didn't bother to pay attention to Umbridge's struggle, and stepped aside slightly to let the Auror come up.

"Dolores Umbridge," Dawlish said righteously, "You are suspected of colluding with the Death Eater Yaxley and commanding the Dementors to attack the student Harry Potter. In addition, we have received reports that you illegally used truth serum in Hogwarts, intending to poison the future flowers of the wizarding world."

Even though she had fallen to such a point, Umbridge still refused to accept her fate. She shouted fiercely, "I am a senior investigator appointed by the Minister of Magic. You have no right to arrest me!"

"I'm sorry!" Dawlish said with a hint of sarcasm, "You are no longer a senior investigator. This is an arrest warrant issued by Acting Minister Amelia Burns herself."

"Come on, please cooperate with us in the investigation. Don't worry, we will use truth serum to make sure you are cleared of all charges..."
