Science and magic at Hogwarts

Chapter 58 Absurd and Inhuman Comedy ([-])

During the interview, Mr. Fudge repeatedly emphasized:
"This attack is a blatant provocation to the Ministry of Magic, and all members of the Ministry of Magic will do their best to investigate and arrest this attack.

The magic world has been peaceful for more than ten years, and the Ministry of Magic will definitely continue to ensure the stable life of the people.

The conspiracy of some people to spread rumors and disrupt the magic world in the name of the Dark Lord will not be realized! "

When asked about Headmaster Dumbledore's claim that the attacker was the Dark Lord himself, Ms. Dolores Umbridge, the senior deputy minister, said bluntly:

"It is well known that the Dark Lord was defeated by Harry Potter 11 years ago.

Now Dumbledore says that the Dark Lord has reappeared in the wizarding world. This is obviously a lie fabricated by Dumbledore to cover up his dereliction of duty. He intends to use the Dark Lord to divert the public's attention and downplay the impact of this accident.

But the Ministry of Magic will not turn a blind eye to this accident, and will definitely investigate it to the end, and seek justice for those children who died with regret! "

Ms. Umbridge was very emotional when she spoke, and she obviously hated Dumbledore's approach. During the period, she also expressed her position several times:

"In recent years, some people have said that Dumbledore is an old lunatic and an old fool, but in view of his important contribution to the magic world, the Ministry of Magic has always turned a blind eye to some of his practices, and has always retained him, including the headmaster of Hogwarts. various positions within the

"But after this incident, we can see that he is no longer the great white wizard leader who defeated Gellert Grindelwald, and now he is just a crazy and arrogant villain!"

Ms. Umbridge, who was too emotional, had to stop speaking. Although Mr. Fudge beside him did not expressly agree, he clearly agreed with Ms. Umbridge's words.

For this attack, Mr. Gilderoy Lockhart also has a great say.

As we all know, in Mr. Lockhart's adventures, not only have to deal with evil creatures such as vampires and werewolves, but also always beware of dark wizards that may be encountered.

"The dark wizard who attacked this time is obviously very powerful, but there is no doubt that he is not as good as me.

Because I can think of several magics that achieve similar effects at the same time, and the attacker can only escape after casting the spell, which also proves that the attacker is not the Dark Lord himself.

After all, the strength of the Dark Lord is well known.

It is a pity that I was not there at the time. I believe that if I had been there, perhaps such a tragedy would not have happened.

But it doesn't matter, as an outstanding graduate of Hogwarts, I am willing to provide enough help for Hogwarts.

If I could, I'd even like to teach at Hogwarts next term - so as to help Hogwarts tide over the difficulties and resist dark wizards! "

Mr. Lockhart is indeed a powerful adventurer. I believe that if Dumbledore hired Mr. Lockhart to Hogwarts this year, he would not let the attackers hurt so many little wizards.

No, this assumption is not valid, because if Mr. Lockhart is at Hogwarts this year, I want to hear that he will definitely be able to remind Dumbledore of the loopholes in his protection, and at the same time discover the dark wizard in advance, and nip the danger in the bud!

After reading the full text, Kyle clearly felt Dumbledore's plight.

It seems that the officials are unwilling to believe his words, and because of this huge dereliction of duty, he has become even more embattled.

"How dare that old lunatic Dumbledore put such a dangerous item on campus!
Romilda Vane!Don't talk to me about the Dark Lord, you've been brainwashed by that old lunatic Dumbledore!

Now, you pack your luggage for me immediately, and I will pick you up right away! "

A loud noise interrupted Kyle's thoughts, it was a roaring letter.

Obviously anxious parents no longer trusted Dumbledore and the school, and decided to take the students home immediately.

And this is not the only place where such remarks are made.

Although it is not extreme enough to send roaring letters, it is not difficult to hear from the whispers of the small animals that there are not a few parents who decide to take their children home.

At this time, the atmosphere in the auditorium was no longer sad and dignified as it was before breakfast.

The little wizards turned their puzzled eyes to the teacher's seat, and to Harry Potter.

The anxious Potter was loudly explaining what happened to his classmates.

But the little wizards were not completely convinced.

Still firmly support Potter, there are only a few little wizards who support Dumbledore.

From their dialogue, it is not difficult to see that the opinions of parents are divided into three types.

One side firmly supports Dumbledore
One side believes the information announced by the Ministry of Magic, and then no longer trusts Dumbledore

and neutrals that swing from side to side.

This is obviously the current mainstream view in the magic world.

As the days passed, many students were picked up early, and very few students remained in the school.

The neutral person picked up the students with the idea of ​​staying away from danger.

Opponents also picked up the students because they no longer trusted the school.

Only Dumbledore's stalwart supporters remain at the school, but their numbers are dwindling.

The news on the Daily Prophet was also full of excitement, and celebrities from all walks of life jumped out to express their opinions.

But in public opinion, Dumbledore has already collapsed, and only a few people are still speaking out for him.

The same discussion took place in the headmaster's office at Hogwarts at this time.

Professor Dumbledore, who hadn't shown up for many days, and the two deans, McGonagall and Snape, were there.

"Albus, have you really decided? This is not fair to you, it is also unfair to Hogwarts, and to those who still trust you!"

Professor McGonagall was extremely emotional and strongly opposed Dumbledore's ideas.

But Dumbledore looked calm, without a trace of panic:
"Minerva, don't persuade me. I have already decided to resign as the principal. I am not forced by the Ministry of Magic and the school trustees, but I need more time to discover some truths!"

Dumbledore's words made McGonagall extremely unwilling:
"Do you just let the Ministry of Magic and the Daily Prophet slander you? There are fewer and fewer people who still support you..."

"Calm down, Minerva, we have all seen that Voldemort is not quite back.

At that time, he could only barely maintain it by possessing himself on Quirrell.

In order to exert greater strength, he even forcibly burned Quirrell's life.

This is also the reason why Quirrell was wiped out after blowing up the wall. "

"It means we still have time to make some arrangements before he comes back, which is why I had to resign as headteacher."

Professor Snape did not speak during the conversation between Dumbledore and McGonagall, but listened to their debate with a stiff face, brushing his left arm from time to time.

At this time Dumbledore also turned the topic to Snape:
"Severus, are you all right, is it responding?"

"Of course I'm fine, Dumbledore, it's just that you really need to speed up, I told you earlier, it's becoming more and more obvious!"

Snape's words left McGonagall speechless, and could only vent angrily:

"Those incompetent guys are just trying to raise their profile by pointing fingers at the Daily Prophet.

Total disregard for the truth!
Those guys who have gained countless benefits because of supporting you are also a bunch of fools, and they just abandoned you when they saw that the limelight was wrong!
And that Lockhart, such a powerful adventurer, how could he be deceived by the Ministry of Magic! "

"He is not deceived, you can see that he does not forget to promote his book when he is interviewed.

The sales volume of the Daily Prophet has not been as much as his new book. How can such a smart person be deceived by the Ministry of Magic.

He wished things would get bigger, even live in the Daily Prophet. "Snape sneered at Lockhart with a cold face.

"But it has to be said that Mr Lockhart is a good man.

Knowing that Hogwarts was in danger, he also submitted an application for employment as a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor to the school.

And expressed his hope to do his part to guard Hogwarts. Although he is a bit of a philistine, he is a good person. "

"Albus, are you going to interview in person for Lockhart's job application?"

McGonagall asked Dumbledore.

"You decide for yourself, you will be the principal from now on, Minerva."

The conversation in the principal's office ended hastily, and McGonagall began to prepare to take over the position of principal, while Dumbledore left the school again.

The personnel changes in the school had nothing to do with Kyle, but the farce of the past few days made Kyle very speechless.

Leaving aside the danger of Lao Fu's resurrection, the farce in front of him is no different from all the big melons in the entertainment industry in his previous life.

As long as a star's big melon explodes, the development of the situation will no longer be controlled by the star himself.

First, all kinds of self-media rubbed traffic, and jumped out to express a specious point of view.

Then paparazzi from all walks of life jumped out, scrambling to publish all kinds of evidence of the candid photos in their hands, no matter what was photographed, they dared to post it on P.

Coupled with an opening paragraph and a picture, the content is all based on the edited copy, even if you can't get money from the celebrity, you can still successfully attract a wave of attention and increase a wave of traffic.

Then people from all walks of life spoke enthusiastically, all big Vs, commentators, people and dogs came to show off.

Anyway, no matter what the truth of the matter is or what the outcome is, these people will make a lot of money.

And this is only in front of the stage, the capital game behind the scenes is wonderful.

Some people are protected by the capital, and some are abandoned. The hostile capital will add insult to injury, and the confrontation between the whitewashing troop and the discrediting troop will become even more chaotic.

No matter what the final result is, the people who eat melons eat it very well.

Fans of people from all walks of life soared, those who started live broadcasts started live broadcasts, those who brought goods brought goods, and those who received advertisements sent soft articles.

It doesn't matter whether the stars who pop melons lose money or make money, anyway, these passers-by will definitely make money.

The way of heaven is good for reincarnation, who will the heaven forgive?

Kyle thought that after timetraveling, he had successfully avoided all kinds of melons in the entertainment industry in his previous life, and his ears would be clean.

Unexpectedly, in the end, he was fed enough by the melons of the wizarding world.

I escaped the first day of junior high school, but I didn't escape the fifteenth day after all.

He is still too naive!
