Hogwarts: I Am Such a Model Wizard

 Chapter 623 Fudge’s calculation

In addition to Dumbledore, there was another person who was also furious because of this article.

 Umbridge almost hated that Rita Skeeter. After seeing today's "Daily Prophet", she didn't even eat breakfast and hurried back to the Ministry of Magic.

Professors have all run away, so today’s Defense Against the Dark Arts course will naturally become inoperable.

But according to Umbridge's teaching method, it really doesn't make any difference whether there is a professor or not. Anyway, it's all about reading and copying. Without a professor, it feels more free.

　　During the afternoon class, the classroom was noisy. Because there was no professor, everyone was as excited as if the Christmas vacation had come early.

What’s even more gratifying is that there are no professors to teach, which means that they can do whatever they want except not leaving the classroom.

Mikel was playing wizard chess with Ryan, and several Gryffindor students even turned their textbooks into quaffles and threw them at each other.

　Judging by their excitement, if it weren't for the fact that the classroom wasn't big enough to ride broomsticks, they would probably have had a real Quidditch match.

Kyle was sitting in the bustling classroom, concentrating on his ancient runes homework.

This class is still the same as before, with one class per week and the same amount of homework.

  Among the fifteen-inch articles, the simplest and most troublesome are the two translation assignments. They are both dispensable documentary documents, long and boring.

“Kyle, do you think Umbridge will be dismissed just like that?” Connor asked with some expectation.

"It's unlikely." Kyle stopped the quill in his hand, sandwiched the translated documents in the textbook and said: "There are still big differences between the corridors of Hogwarts and the Ministry of Magic. Fudge can't possibly see it. come out.

"Of course, he will definitely not be happy. For Fudge, he knows that this is a fiction and he will not care at all."

"What a shame," Connor muttered, not liking Umbridge at all.

 In less than a month since Umbridge became Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, this course has surpassed History of Magic to become the most unpopular course at Hogwarts.

After all, in the history of magic, they can catch up on sleep when they feel bored, or do homework on other subjects, as long as they don't make too much noise.

 But in Defense Against the Dark Arts, they can only read the text over and over again and copy long paragraphs of nonsense. There is nothing else they can do.

　　"Will Umbridge cause trouble for Rita Skeeter?" Connor continued.

"Definitely," Kyle said, "but only if she can find someone to do it.

“Rita has written so many articles that make people angry. If she had not had some skills, she would have been beaten to death long ago...So it is not so easy for Umbridge to catch her.”

"That's good." Conner said, it was the first time she found Rita Skeeter's article so interesting. No wonder so many people still liked to read it even though they knew she was talking nonsense.

 Soon, get out of class is over.

Everyone felt as if someone had moved the time of this class forward, so they had no choice but to leave the classroom reluctantly.

“I really hope Professor Umbridge won’t be back by Wednesday.” Mikel said in an expectant tone.

 Because their next Defense Against the Dark Arts session is on Wednesday morning.

 Unfortunately, Umbridge came back the next day.

 The Daily Prophet arrived on the same day, and there were two pieces of news that no one had expected.

  【Sirius's identity is in doubt, and the Ministry of Magic decided to continue the investigation. 】

  【The Ministry of Magic seeks education reform, and Dolores Umbridge is appointed as the first Inquisitor】

 Two pieces of news caused everyone in the auditorium to talk about it.

“Senior Investigator?” Mikel looked at the newspaper and wondered, “What does this mean?”

"It's very simple. This is the Ministry of Magic's attempt to interfere with Hogwarts." Cedric said, "What is written below is very clear. The senior investigators can examine whether professors are capable and have the right to expel unqualified professors. The Ministry of Magic will then appoint new candidates." "Of course the professors are qualified." Hannah said indignantly: "Have you noticed? There is not a single word written on the criteria for judging whether a professor is qualified."

“Obviously, it’s Umbridge who has the final say,” Cedric said.

 “The headmaster won’t agree to it!” Justin Finch-Fletchley shouted.

"It's useless." Cedric pointed to the last sentence in the newspaper, "Look here, all the school directors have signed and agreed to the so-called "Education Order No. 22", even the principal cannot object."

 This result was somewhat beyond Kyle’s expectations.

 He originally thought that after the last report, even if Fudge did not doubt Umbridge, he would not entrust her with important tasks again.

 Unexpectedly...she actually got promoted.

I really don’t know what Umbridge said to Fudge throughout the whole day. Her rights in Hogwarts actually increased instead of diminished.

 Senior investigators can fire professors at any time. This power is not low. It is almost the same as that of a school director.

In addition, Kyle also noticed another piece of inconspicuous news.

  【Storgy Podmore illegally invaded the Ministry of Magic late at night and has been arrested】

If Kyle remembered correctly, this Stourge was also from the Order of the Phoenix, and he had met him at No. 12 Grimmauld Place during the holidays.

 Including Sirius, this is already the second member of the Order of the Phoenix to be arrested by the Ministry of Magic.

 Fudge knows his identity?

　　Probably not... Members of the Order of the Phoenix are very cautious and would not take the initiative to reveal their relationship with Dumbledore at this time.

Moreover, he was indeed caught by the guard on duty at the Ministry of Magic.

Kyle couldn't think of the purpose of running to the Ministry of Magic late at night?

But by such an accident, Fudge has already controlled two members of the Order of the Phoenix. The other one is naturally Sirius, who is also locked up in the Ministry of Magic and cannot get out.

As for Umbridge, the senior investigator, Fudge should also be preparing to take action against Dumbledore...

Everyone knows that the professors at Hogwarts support Dumbledore, there is no doubt about it.

 The senior investigator targeted the professor.

If that's the case, then Fudge is so disappointing. He shouldn't have thought that people like 'Minerva McGonagall', 'Filius Flitwick', and 'Pomona Sprout' are all He is probably famous because of his position as Hogwarts professor.

　　Or Professor of Hogwarts, is the most inconspicuous of all their names.

 It is simply a fantasy for just one Umbridge to deal with them.

Thinking of this, Kyle couldn't help but sneered, and the sudden laughter immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Sorry." Kyle said, "I was just wondering if Umbridge would give us a new History of Magic professor."

"Pfft..." Ryan couldn't hold it back and laughed, "If that's the case, that would be great."

History of Magic, the only course at Hogwarts taught by a ghost. And this course is boring.

The ghost's emotionless voice made him feel like he was hypnotized when he lectured. More than half of the students fell asleep every time.

"I think the Ministry of Magic would be reluctant to part with it." Cedric said with a smile: "It will be difficult for them to find another professor who does not need a salary, unless Umbridge himself is willing to take over this position for free."

“Forget it, if that’s the case, it might as well be a ghost.” Justin said, “At least now we can have a show to watch during class...unless she can also walk through walls.”

There was a burst of laughter at the Hufflepuff table.
