Chapter 212
The Ministry of Magic held down the news of the Azkaban escape incident, which was a basic operation, but such a major event was circulated privately among wizards, and it seemed to have become a traditional art.

Lu Yunkai waited all night, and ran to warn Hermione when he didn't see relevant news on the Daily Prophet at noon the next day, let alone some sources who were worried about his children.

In fact, including Malfoy, many people had already learned about it on the night of the jailbreak.

Most of them were Slytherins, of course, but there were also a few wizard's children whose parents had attended that morning's breakout.

And most of this group got warnings from their parents "don't go out and talk nonsense".

Things may not have spread so fast in the first place.

Until the dinner on the second day of the prison break, which was also a dinner party on Halloween, and when it was time to see off the students who went back for the Halloween weekend, Dumbledore publicly stated at the banquet that because of "some reasons" the Halloween weekend students We may not be able to go home.

And Dumbledore found an extremely outrageous excuse (Lu Yunkai even thought he was making an excuse on purpose): the Hogwarts express train was going to be maintained.

This made many students (especially the first-year freshmen) who had been looking forward to this weekend for two months very unhappy.

But there is no other way, the school won't send it off, and the parents can't pick it up, they can only stay in the school...

However, the original home weekend has become a compulsory stay in school. It is inevitable that this group of upset students did not want to ask "why?", and at this time, the truth of the matter surfaced.

"The Death Eaters who were imprisoned in Azkaban escaped. Although most of them didn't escape, two of them managed to escape."

"This is not the same as Sirius Black who sneaked out of Azkaban a few years ago, but he broke in clearly! Then they broke into the Ministry of Magic! What does the Department of Legal Enforcement of the Ministry of Magic do? "

"What's even more frightening is that the Daily Prophet is still reporting that Minister Fudge went to watch the Quidditch League and kicked off in person..."

The unease that the Death Eaters had escaped, the resentment that they couldn't go home to see their parents, turned into anger at the Ministry of Magic's inaction.

This, of course, touched Umbridge's mold.

She would never allow anyone to question the authority of the Ministry of Magic.

……

"Umbridge has been idle for less than a month, and then he came out to cause trouble again?"

Malfoy slapped the table angrily.

None of the others beside him said anything.

The entire Slytherin lounge was very quiet.

Everyone seems to be in a bad mood.

Except Lu Yunkai.

He is very calm.

"She hasn't stopped this month! It's just that she didn't do anything to us Slytherins."

Lu Yunkai didn't seem to be persuading at all.

Malfoy froze.

Oh, yes!In the past month, Umbridge joined forces with Slytherin House to suppress students from the other three houses. Can it be called leisure?Here, Malfoy is very forward!
"Then what should we do? Let's hand over the mirror?" Gore, who was on the side, changed the topic with some embarrassment.

He is also one of the important members of Umbridge's law enforcement team.

"How is it possible!! My father spent so much money to buy me a gift, hand it over??" Malfoy glared at Goyle.

Gore was a little embarrassed and silent.

His mirror was cheap...but Draco's mirror cost tens of thousands of Galleons! !

"It's not about money." Lu Yunkai shook his head, "The main reason is that without a mirror, it's inconvenient to communicate with family members. Draco, you're not bad. Both parents are in China, and Daphne's father is abroad... "

As he spoke, he patted Daphne's shoulder beside him lightly.

Daphne lowered her head, holding the communication mirror in her hand, with a very depressed expression.

"Then there is nothing we can do, right? After all, Umbridge is qualified to make school rules... This is the authority given to her by the Ministry of Magic." Crabbe answered from the side.

Then he was rolled eyes by Lu Yunkai and Malfoy at the same time.

"School rules also have reasonable and unreasonable things. Maybe the principal has the power to abolish it, but we say it's really useless!" Crabbe pretended not to see the two people's eyes, and continued, "I think we should get rid of it as soon as possible." It would be better to send the mirrors home."

"No." Malfoy gritted his teeth, "This matter can't just be compromised like this!"

"What are your plans?" Lu Yunkai looked at Malfoy and asked.

It was the first day after the Halloween weekend, and just before lunch, Umbridge issued a new school rule.

Students at Hogwarts are prohibited from using communication mirrors on campus.

The reason for issuing this school rule, in fact, most students (especially Slytherins) are well aware: it is because in the past weekend, through the communication mirror and the whispering in the lounge, almost the entire school Students all know why this weekend when they could have gone home turned into mandatory detention.

Lu Yunkai even felt that Umbridge's prohibition of using communication mirrors in school was actually quite a "symptomatic" management method.

You must know that Sirius escaped from Azkaban the year before, and it took more than two months before he finally couldn't hold back, and when the news was released on the Daily Prophet, it still shocked most wizards.

But this time, the Ministry of Magic didn't even hide it for three days, and the whole Hogwarts knew about it...

No one would believe that it had nothing to do with the communication mirror that was only promoted this year.

What's more, Umbridge's school rule is not completely unreasonable.

You know, there are many spells that can be used outside of Hogwarts without any problem, but they are forbidden spells in school, such as the magic boosting spell that Lu Yunkai used in the duel with Hermione a few years ago.

Spells can restrict usage, so magic items can also restrict usage.

It makes sense in terms of law, so naturally it doesn't make sense.

Therefore, Lu Yunkai, who had figured this out, was very calm.

What's more, he had already been reminded by Snape a few days earlier that Umbridge might do something that would affect him.

Although Lu Yunkai didn't expect it to be this at the time.

But looking back, Snape's speculation was very reasonable.

Therefore, Lu Yunkai's dissatisfaction with Umbridge turned into admiration for Snape.

Snape's thoughts were far more meticulous than his!

And Lu Yunkai, who kept calm, didn't mind thinking about it deeply. This time Umbridge issued this ban in the school, maybe it was also a temptation: the Ministry of Magic couldn't ban it outside Hogwarts The use of communication mirrors is banned in Hogwarts, isn't that a big problem?

Then, perhaps it would be appropriate, to try to extend it elsewhere?For example, while working at the Ministry of Magic, it is forbidden to use...

Bit by bit, nibble.

Anyway, at Hogwarts, Dumbledore obviously doesn't want to confront her now, and she can do whatever she wants, so there is no problem in formulating a school rule that complies with legal principles as the first step.

If he can survive for a while, and even become part of the traditional Hogwarts school regulations... Umbridge may not be uninterested in becoming the next Minister of Magic.

It's just that she seems to have simplified the problem a little bit.

Just like after the Ministry of Magic seized the communication mirror shop, Umbridge's school regulations requiring the ban of communication mirrors in the school also aroused dissatisfaction among many people.

The Slytherins bear the brunt: after all, the students of the other three colleges do not have as many mirrors as the students of Slytherin.

And the Slytherin students... to be honest, not so easy to mess with.

Malfoy, for example, is extremely angry now.

Recently, his mood has become very sensitive because he is worried about his parents, and now he wants to ban the mirror through which he communicates with his parents...

"I want my father to go to the school board to protest." Malfoy said angrily, "When will it be Hogwarts' turn for the Ministry of Magic to decide?"

"...I think you'd better not bother your father at this time." Lu Yunkai reminded Malfoy friendly.

Malfoy one card.

But soon.

"No, absolutely can't bear it."

He shook his head firmly again.

"Okay." Lu Yunkai saw that he couldn't be persuaded, so he didn't stop him.

In fact, it is more in Lu Yunkai's interest to let Malfoy find his father...

Just do it.In front of a group of students around him, Malfoy directly took out the mirror and contacted Lucius.

As for Lucius, who looked obviously ten years older than the last time he saw him in the mirror, Lu Yunkai suddenly felt a little distressed...

But when he heard that Umbridge wanted to ban Draco from using the communication mirror, and possibly even confiscate it, Lucius jumped up.

"She must not be allowed to mess around in school!!"

Lucius hung up the call.Obviously, he wanted to solve this matter immediately.

After getting a promise from his father that wasn't a promise, Malfoy's expression improved a little...

After seeing Malfoy's actions, the other Slytherin students in the lounge also took out the communication mirrors in their hands and complained to their parents.

……

Only this time, things seemed to be a little off.

At noon the next day, the latest Daily Prophet.

front page.

"The Ministry of Magic issued Education Order No. 24: Senior Inquisitors will have the highest authority on all punishments, sanctions and deprivation of rights involving Hogwarts students in the future, as well as punishments, sanctions and deprivation of other teachers and administrators. Power matters have the right to amend. "
