Hogwarts: I am Harry's Cousin

Chapter 371 365. Education Order No. 22 (Please vote for me)

The next day, five Aurors came to Hogwarts on Fudge's orders.

It will fall under Umbridge's jurisdiction before the end of this term.

With the support from the Ministry of Magic, Umbridge began to expand. Although she still did not dare to target Slytherin, she began to try to intervene in the internal affairs of Hogwarts.

Yes, Umbridge is trying to meddle in the internal affairs of Hogwarts.

According to the previous contract, the Ministry of Magic cannot interfere with Hogwarts, but the rule is that the dead are alive. This is not impossible. If it didn't work before, then just create opportunities now so that he can do it.

So "Education Order No. 22", a decree issued by the Ministry of Magic, was born.

The content is very simple. In order to better cultivate the next generation of wizards, the Ministry of Magic recommends educational reform. The only educational reform in England can be called Hogwarts, and the target is very obvious.

Facing the menacing Ministry of Magic, the Hogwarts School Board fell into collective silence.

The Ministry of Magic is the most powerful organization in the wizarding world, and the School Board is strictly a private organization.

The legality is determined by the Hogwarts Contract, but this legality was originally granted by the Wizards' Council.

If the other party intends to be unruly and forceful, it will be very difficult.

Unless the school board is willing to collectively confront the Ministry of Magic.

Importantly, this education order also gives Umbridge the power to review other professors at Hogwarts to ensure that they meet the standards set by the Ministry of Magic.

That is to say, I am the referee, I am the judge, and I am the contestant.

"This is not good news, Harry."

In the Room of Requirement, Neville held up the latest issue of the Daily Prophet and placed it in front of Harry.

"If things continue as they are, Hogwarts will become an outpost of Cornelius Fudge's office."

"Many students have sent letters home. Naturally, parents do not agree with the Ministry of Magic's actions, but they have no choice but to send roaring letters to the Ministry of Magic, which is meaningless."

"Fudge has assigned someone to handle these letters, and he is determined to do so."

The Ministry of Magic is a powerful department. Once they risk their lives to lose public support, no one can threaten Fudge.

And Fudge is now determined to take control of Hogwarts.

If you want Fudge to step down, you can't just talk about it. After all, he is the Minister of Magic.

"If that doesn't work, let's go find D," Ron suggested weakly.

"No!" He was interrupted sharply by Hermione before he finished his words: "This is the test Dudley gave us. If we go to him whenever something happens, what's the point of us? Discipline Team What’s the point?”

"And Dudley has more important things to do now."

"Actually, there is no need to worry too much." Draco, who was leaning on the chair, said, his voice was lazy, as if he didn't have much energy: "Because no matter what we do at this stage, it won't have much effect. We just need to wait and see. Just change.”

He said so, but in fact Draco had been in close contact with his Slytherin classmates these past few days.

What happened at Hogwarts was not the intention of the Ministry of Magic. On the contrary, many officials in the Ministry held objections. The most vocal of them was Ms. Amelia Bones, the Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement. But Fudge was the one who was responsible after all. The Minister of Magic, under his will, others can only follow his arrangements no matter how strong their opinions are.

Several people looked at each other, and that was all they could do now.

With the power given by the Ministry of Magic to review the qualifications of professors, Umbridge often appeared in other professors' classes.

She held a notebook and kept writing and drawing in it, as if she was judging the ability of each professor.

Of course, because of her "unique" charm and the "Hem-Hem" sound she makes in class from time to time, no professor likes her.

But except for Professor McGonagall, who publicly criticized the pink toad, the other professors chose to endure it, including Snape, who always had a vicious tongue.

Professor McGonagall has been teaching Transfiguration at Hogwarts for thirty-nine years. Not only is she very powerful and capable, but she has students all over the world, so she is not afraid of Umbridge at all.

Soon after the initial success of "Education Order No. 22", the Ministry of Magic promulgated "Education Order No. 23 and No. 4" one after another.

The purpose of these two decrees is more clear.

All student organizations, associations, teams and clubs are hereby dissolved. Organizations, associations, teams and clubs are hereby defined as regular gatherings of three or more students. Reorganization can be requested from the Senior Inquisitor (Professor Umbridge). No student organizations, associations, teams and clubs may exist without the approval of the Senior Ombudsman. Students found to form or join any organization, association, team or club without the approval of the Senior Ombudsman will be immediately expelled.

Signed: Senior Investigating Officer Dolores Jane Umbridge.

There is such a message on the Hogwarts bulletin board.

While the Ministry of Magic is trying to undermine the principal's power to appoint professors, it also targets the disciplinary team.

To be precise, Fudge took aim at the disciplinary team. He believed that such an organization to assist Dumbledore did not exist in the same way.

So targeting... couldn't be more obvious.

At first, the little wizards didn't care, they just thought it was just a small announcement.

However, they didn't know that this announcement would not only ban the disciplinary team, but also the Duelist Club, Quidditch and Wizarding Card Games.

Umbridge intends to solve all problems at once.

"The Ministry of Magic has the power to expel students from Hogwarts?"

Ron asked Draco.

The latter shook his head: "Expelling a student requires not only the consent of the principal but also the unanimous consent of the twelve school directors."

"Then it works for her?"

Ron pointed to the notice on the bulletin board.

"Tsk, it's a bit complicated to explain. It's useless as long as the principal and school directors can resist it."

If you can't stand it, you will really be forced to be fired.

With the Quidditch game being shut down and wizard cards being banned, the little wizards were wailing, why don't you just let us have classes, now you can't even have entertainment? So the little wizards gathered together and planned to collectively protest to Umbridge.

It's a pity that this is just a spontaneous behavior of a group of second, third and fourth grade wizards. The fifth, sixth and seventh grade are not included. The internal unity is not as united as the fifth grade. Under the leadership of fourth grade Gryffindor College Colin Several of them stopped playing after Umbridge put them in solitary confinement for talking back in class.

But this is just the beginning for Umbridge.

She wants to master Hogwarts step by step.
