Chapter 525 News Report

Hermione returned to Hogwarts on Monday morning.

This weekend, he already knew something about Lupine.

She stepped into the Gryffindor common room, and the atmosphere there was a little different than usual.

Several little wizards were gathering by the fireplace, their eyes fixed on the news being broadcast on the TV.

In the past, they would have eaten in the auditorium and read newspapers to learn about current events, but as Levin installed TVs in the lounges of each college, there are always some little wizards who like TV news.

They would come to the auditorium early, pack breakfast, and then return to the lounge to eat while watching.

Just like Harry and the others are doing now.

Hermione walked over quickly, and when she saw the picture on the screen, she couldn't help but take a deep breath.

She thought that the Ministry of Magic would further extend its reach into Hogwarts, but she did not expect that current events would change so quickly.

The figure of host Fleur Delacour appeared on the screen, and behind her was a huge photo. In the photo, Dolores Umbridge was smiling, her eyes seemed to be blinking towards them, her expression full of pride and provocation.

"This is the big news last night," Fleur's voice echoed in the lounge. "In order to promote education reform, the Ministry of Magic issued the "Education Order No. 23" and appointed Dolores Umbridge as Head of Hogwarts. ’s first senior investigating officer.”

"Umbridge - 'Senior Investigator'?" Harry said with a frown, the half-eaten slice of bread slipping from his fingers, "What does that mean?"

No one answered him.

"In an emergency meeting last night, the Ministry of Magic passed this new decree, which will give them an unprecedented degree of control over Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry."

Host Furong continued to introduce:

"In recent weeks, this is not the first time that Minister Cornelius Fudge has adopted new laws to improve magic schools. Not long ago, on August 30, he passed the "Education Order No. 22"" Fleur Added, "This decree stipulates that if the current headmaster cannot provide a candidate for a certain teaching position, the Ministry of Magic will recommend a suitable candidate. Regarding this matter, let us listen to the relevant personnel of the Ministry of Magic."

The scene suddenly changed, and Fleur appeared in an office scene. She transformed into a female reporter and was interviewing a red-haired man.

Ronald and Hermione recognized the familiar face at a glance - Ronald's third brother, Percy Weasley.

"Mr. Weasley, as a staff member of the Ministry of Magic, what do you think of this new law?" Fleur asked.

At this time, a label appeared on the big screen next to Percy: Percy Weasley, Assistant Minister of Magic.

The audience did not know that for this interview, the Offensive and French United TV Station deliberately chose Percy as the main interview subject, just to let him show more face.

Percy looked at the secret eyes in front of him, with a trace of imperceptible pride in his eyes.

He cleared his throat and began to answer: "For some time, the minister has been increasingly uneasy about the current situation at Hogwarts. He took action after listening to the concerns of parents. Worried parents felt that the school seemed to be heading towards It is developing in a direction that they very much disapprove of.” "

"It turns out that the Ministry of Magic promulgated the "Education Order No. 22" long before the start of the school year. At that time, Dolores Umbridge almost got a teaching position in the Defense Against the Dark Arts course because of it,"

Hermione stood aside, a flash of understanding flashing in her eyes, "No wonder Levin told us not to expect to learn anything in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class this semester on the train. When there is no suitable candidate for the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, In order to silence the Ministry of Magic, Dumbledore had to arrange for Lupine to be on top, preventing Umbridge from having the opportunity to implement "Education Order No. 22." Unfortunately, Mbridge finally got what he wanted."

"But what does this have to do with Senior Investigator?" Harry frowned, a hint of confusion in his voice.

"Wait, Harry, the news isn't over yet, you'll find out after reading it." Hermione said with a straight face.

"After the teacher known as the 'Werewolf Professor' was expelled from Hogwarts,"

The screen briefly cuts back to Furong, who is reading the manuscript in her hand intently.

"Ms. Dolores Umbridge will take over the Defense Against the Dark Arts course at Hogwarts. She vowed to bring breakthrough changes to the course and promised to promptly report back to the Minister of Magic on the true situation at Hogwarts. And Recently, the Ministry of Magic passed the "Education Order No. 23", and this temporary action has officially come into effect. At the same time, she will be given a brand new position - Senior Inquisitor of Hogwarts. The Ministry of Magic's These new measures have received enthusiastic support from parents of Hogwarts students, who hope to see a more standardized and efficient Hogwarts."

Then, the scene cut back to the interview scene in the Ministry of Magic office.

“This is an exciting new step in the minister’s attempt to rein in the declining standards of education at Hogwarts.

Percy said enthusiastically,

"The Ombudsman will have the authority to scrutinize her fellow faculty members to ensure that they all meet established educational standards. Professor Umbridge has been awarded this important position in addition to her faculty position, and we are pleased to say that she has embraced it. A challenge.”

Immediately afterwards, the screen switched again, and what appeared on the screen this time was a magnificent and magnificent mansion. A blond, well-dressed, middle-aged man was sitting elegantly on the sofa for an interview.

The label next to him reads: Lucius Malfoy, member of the Board of Trustees of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

"I feel more at ease knowing that Dumbledore will receive a fair and objective evaluation."

Lucius said slowly,

"Many of our parents who care about the vital interests of their children have been worried about Dumbledore's weird decisions in recent years. Now we know that the Ministry of Magic is paying close attention to this situation and taking practical and effective measures to improve the educational environment at Hogwarts. I feel very relieved.”

The screen returned to the live broadcast room again, and Fleur continued: "Those weird decisions undoubtedly include the appointment of some controversial faculty members. These include hiring the werewolf Remus John Lupin, one-half hybrid giant Rubeus Hagrid, and a A former Auror Moody known as 'Mad Eye' who was disguised by others. Of course, people also rumored that Albus Dumbledore, this old man once served as the president of the International Federation of Magicians and the Wizengamot The chief wizard, but now, he is no longer qualified for the important task of managing the famous school Hogwarts.

Immediately afterwards, the screen began to quickly switch to interviews with different people:

In the hall of the Ministry of Magic, a Ministry of Magic employee who was randomly interviewed expressed his views:

'.||I believe that the appointment of an Inquisitor is the first step in ensuring that Hogwarts has a Headmaster that we can all trust. We need to ensure that school leadership truly has the best interests of students at heart.

However, at the Wizengamot Liaison Office, two elders, Grisilda MacBance and Tiberus Ogden, resolutely resigned in protest against the appointment of inquisitors to Hogwarts.

Mrs. Markbans angrily said: "Hogwarts is a school, not an outpost of Cornelius Fudge's office. This is an attempt to further tarnish Albus Dumbledore's reputation and is disgusting behavior. We cannot Tolerate this Ministry of Magic interference in the school."

Finally, the screen returned to the live broadcast room again, and Fleur concluded: "The passage of this decree was very smooth, but it also represents that the Ministry of Magic's control over Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry has reached an unprecedented level. The future Hogwarts Let us wait and see in what direction it will develop.”

The news ended here. Harry was shaking with anger and turned off the TV.

"Now we finally know how we got an Umbridge!" Ronald's breathing was rapid, his voice full of anger (Qian Zhao's), "Fudge sent her to us through this 'education order'! Now he's giving her power. Check out other teachers! This is outrageous!"

Harry nodded, with the same anger flashing in his eyes: "It is indeed shameless! How could they treat Hogwarts like this? How could they treat Dumbledore like this?"

Hermione stood aside quietly, her eyes still fixed on the black screen of the TV, her heart filled with confusion.

She knew very well that Levin was behind this incident.

During the weekend, Levin took her to inspect the protected area and held a conference for industrial grouping. He was so busy that he did not go back to school until today. "There may not be any intention to sit back and watch this happen."

However, she also knew clearly that Levin had done his best in this matter.

As early as on the train, he had already persuaded Lupin not to go to school, but to no avail.

Knowing the risks, Lupine insisted on becoming a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor just to carry out Dumbledore's arrangements. And he, Levin, had no obligation to Dumbledore's ass.

Hermione didn't know what to do with herself.

The picture shows female host Furong.
