Hogwarts: I Am Such a Model Wizard

 Chapter 675 Umbridge was fired?

After the group returned to Hogwarts, Fred and George gloated over and asked in an exaggerated tone: "How is it, Mr. Future Minister of Magic, are you satisfied with the office Fudge has arranged for you?" ?”

 “Did he just give you his office?”

"If you work harder, you might be able to become a minister before graduation..."

 The two of them were giggling while talking.

 “You will be famous by then…”

 “No need to go to school…”

 “You can also issue yourself an N.E.W.T. certificate!”

"Just don't let Percy see you." Fred blurted out: "Otherwise he will live in front of your house..."

Before he finished speaking, the smiling Fred suddenly closed his mouth and said in an indifferent tone: "Sorry, I forgot that he no longer lives at home."

"That's good, isn't it?" George said. "At least we don't have to see him anymore, and no one sticks their head out to tell us to keep our voices down when we pass by the stairs."

"Actually." Kyle glanced at the two of them and said calmly: "We saw him when we came back, in the same elevator."

"Oh. Very good," Fred said. "Then did you give him a good beating for us?"

 “Or turn him into a Philobian caterpillar.”

 “We’ve always wanted to do this.”

"How is it possible...that's the Ministry of Magic." Kyle said, "If I do this, the Aurors can take me away without even leaving the door."

"Then we'll wait until he's not at the Ministry of Magic before we do it." George said through gritted teeth.

“I feel like he regrets it and wants me to apologize to Mrs. Weasley on his behalf.”

“Ouch!” Fred sneered: “If he really wants to apologize, he should do it himself instead of letting someone else deliver it to him.”

“He will never forget where his father’s office is.”

 “Kyle, you didn’t agree to help.”

"Of course not." Kyle said, "Actually, my answer is the same as what you just said."

"That's good."

Fred and George didn't seem to want to talk too much about Percy. After seeing Cedric behind them, they immediately changed the subject.

 “You should give us an explanation, Cedric.”

They came forward in a vicious manner and surrounded Cedric one after another.

George clenched his fists and said: "We agreed to run a joke shop together, why did you also go to work in the Ministry of Magic?"

"If your explanation doesn't satisfy us..." Fred looked him up and down and said viciously, "Then you're dead."

“It’s complicated to explain,” Cedric said, glancing at Kyle subconsciously.

“Anyway, we will definitely be able to work together after graduation!”

Fred and George were stunned for a moment. They thought about many possibilities, but they didn't expect Cedric to say that.

From what this means, is it possible that Cedric will not work at the Ministry of Magic after graduation?

But if that's the case, why would he go to the trouble of going to work for the Ministry of Magic at this time? It can't be for the salary of seven galleons per month.

 It doesn’t make sense…

 “You didn’t lie to us?” Fred took a step forward and asked.

 “Of course not, I swear.”

Even though he said this, the remaining conscience in Cedric's heart prompted him to turn his head and avoid Fred's eyes.

 Fortunately, Professor McGonagall also walked into the castle at this time, and Fred and George stopped asking further questions.

By the time dinner was served, those who went to the Ministry of Magic today inevitably became the talk of the school.

 In the past, there were very few students who could work in the Ministry of Magic before graduation. Now there are five more students. Naturally, everyone is very curious.

"It's nothing." Malfoy said loudly at the Slytherin table: "They only admit people with O.W.L. scores. I will definitely be able to enter the Ministry of Magic after this year. As you know, my father has a relationship with Minister Fudge. very good."

 On the other side, Gryffindor is also having this topic.

"Don't be discouraged, Hermione." Harry looked at Hermione who was silent and comforted: "There is nothing you can do about not having O.W.L. results in fifth grade. You will definitely be admitted next year."

"I know," said Hermione, "and that's not why I'm angry."

"Then what's your reason?" Ron put a piece of sausage into his mouth and said vaguely, "You've been angry since this morning."

"Haven't you noticed?" Hermione put down the tableware in her hand and said angrily: "The Ministry of Magic has admitted a total of five people, and people from the other three houses have been selected. Only our Gryffindor, not one No."

"What does it matter?" Ron said nonchalantly. "It just means we don't want to go to the Ministry of Magic."

"Only you would think so." Hermione said angrily, "I was not the only one who went to Professor McGonagall's office to submit an application, but no one was selected. I guess Professor McGonagall must be extremely disappointed."

"Maybe this has nothing to do with us, don't forget there is Umbridge." Harry said, "Everyone knows that she has always disliked Gryffindor because we don't follow the rules as she asks.

"It is very likely that she rejected Gryffindor's application. As the Deputy Minister of Magic, she should have this power."

"But she is also a professor..." Hermione frowned and said, "She shouldn't do such a thing."

"That's not necessarily the case. Umbridge wouldn't care about that."

Harry raised his head and glanced towards the other side of the auditorium, "Remember, we always see Slytherins running to Umbridge's office recently. I guess those two people are her creations...this morning's training Angelina said their results were not that good."

“That annoying guy.” Ron cursed under his breath, “It would be great if the principal could expel her.”

"Although everyone thinks so, it is unlikely." Hermione said softly, "Even if Umbridge is no longer a senior investigator, she still represents the Ministry of Magic, and the principal cannot fire her."

 The three of them sighed at the same time.

 …

 But at this time, none of them thought that Ron's seemingly impossible words would actually come true the next day during Hogsmeade Visiting Day.

 “Umbridge was fired?”

 In the Three Broomsticks, Professor McGonagall, who was drinking and chatting with Hagrid, heard the screams next to him and glanced back subconsciously.

 “Don’t be so loud, Potter, it’s not settled yet.”

"I'm sorry, Professor," said Harry, "but is this true? Is Umbridge really going to be expelled?"

If it were anyone else, Professor McGonagall would definitely tell Harry to add "Professor" after his name, but this time she said nothing.

"It's not expulsion," Professor McGonagall corrected: "It's just that the Ministry of Magic seems to have more important work to give to Professor Umbridge, so I'm afraid she won't have time to stay in school anymore." Hearing Professor McGonagall's words, Harry only felt that a huge surprise fell from the sky, just like they had won the Quidditch championship trophy in advance.

 No, it’s more exciting than that.

Harry's heart was beating so fast that he didn't even bother to buy some butterbeer and ran out of the Three Broomsticks without looking back.

 He just wanted to tell Hermione and Ron the good news as soon as possible.

At the same time, in the Defense Against the Dark Arts office, Umbridge was furious with Kyle?

　　"Is it a good thing you did!" Her face was so gloomy that it seemed like it could drip water, and she couldn't even put on her habitual fake smile.

"You, a despicable little man, must have said something in front of the minister for him to let me leave Hogwarts!"

 Being called a despicable person by Umbridge is quite a novel feeling.

Looking at Umbridge who was furious, as if she wanted to strangle him, Kyle said calmly: "Don't be so excited, Professor Umbridge, this is indeed a good thing."

"What?" Umbridge screamed, "Are you still trying to say that my expulsion was a good thing?"

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and she roared regardless: "Because of you, I lost my position as a senior investigator, and because of you, I can no longer even work as a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. Is this a good thing?"

While speaking, Umbridge directly took out her wand, pointed at Kyle and asked: "Why do you go against me everywhere!"

Kyle had thought that this would happen before he came here, and he moved his hands hidden in the sleeves of his robe.

The next second, Umbridge's wand flew out of her hand, spinning into Kyle's hand.

"I said, Professor Umbridge, don't be so nervous." Kyle said patiently: "This is really a good thing. Besides, you are not being expelled, but you have to do something more important."

Umbridge, who was about to have a seizure, felt teased after hearing Kyle's words, and roared angrily:

 “You lied, I didn’t receive any notification.”

"This matter is still in the confidentiality stage, and of course you will not be notified." Kyle said, "In fact, there will be no written notification. When you return to the Ministry of Magic, Minister Fudge will tell you this in person. Yes."

 “You didn’t lie?” she asked in a deep voice.

"You are leaving Hogwarts soon, do I need to lie?" Kyle shrugged, "Forget it, it seems you don't want to know, just treat me as nosy."

Kyle threw his wand on the table next to him and turned to leave.

"Wait a minute..." Umbridge didn't even bother with her wand and immediately ran to stop Kyle, "Speak clearly."

"Professor." Kyle said calmly, "If I tell you this, the minister will be angry."

 “Then you just...”

“It was just now, I don’t want to talk about it now.” Kyle glanced at her, “I kindly remind you that this is your attitude.”

Umbridge's expression kept changing.

“Sorry, I was so angry that I lost my mind.” She forced out her usual fake smile again, “Can you speak now?”

This is right, Umbridge still pretends to be fake, which is the most normal thing.

"Okay." Kyle cleared his throat, "Professor, you're in luck."

 “Lucky?”

"That's right." Kyle walked to a chair and sat down. "Do you know what is bothering Minister Fudge the most right now?"

 “Dumbledore?” said Umbridge.

"No. In the current situation, Dumbledore has no chance to compete for the Minister of Magic in the short term, and the attitudes of other professors are naturally irrelevant, so there is no use for you to stay at Hogwarts."

Kyle shook his head, and without waiting for Umbridge to ask, he took the initiative and said: "They are Death Eaters. After they escaped from prison, they hid and stayed put. The news that the Ministry of Magic had previously published in the newspaper turned into a joke.

“Many people now suspect that the mysterious man has not really been resurrected, and have sent many shouting letters to the minister.”

 “That’s unreasonable…” Umbridge said angrily: “How can they doubt the Ministry of Magic?”

This is very interesting... She only said that she should not doubt the Ministry of Magic, but she did not emphasize that the information released by the Ministry of Magic was true as before. This shows that she herself does not believe it.

"That's right." Kyle did not expose it and continued: "But there is no way, it has been a week since the incident happened, and the Ministry of Magic has not made any big moves, so it is inevitable that everyone will be suspicious.

"So we need our help at this time. The minister needs us to act like we did more than ten years ago, showing that the Ministry of Magic and the Death Eaters are incompatible with each other."

 “Then what does this have to do with me?” Umbridge asked with a frown.

"Haven't you figured it out yet?" Kyle knocked on the table impatiently, "There must be news about the Death Eaters before we can do anything."

Either Umbridge could rise all the way to deputy minister, she understood what Kyle meant almost instantly.

“Understood.” Kyle smiled and said: “This matter needs to be kept absolutely confidential. The minister cannot leave it to the strikers and Aurors. They are not loyal enough to take on this important task...”

Kyle stretched out his finger, "Only you, Professor Umbridge... No, it should be Minister Umbridge."

"It's the Deputy Minister." The corner of Umbridge's mouth twitched, and her voice was a little erratic.

"It's all the same." Kyle waved his hand, "After this time, you will become a hero in everyone's eyes...an anti-black magic hero. This is a huge reputation, enough to make you surpass all the department directors in one fell swoop.

 “Now you understand why I say this is a good thing.”

"But why did you give it to me." Umbridge took a deep breath, "You can do it yourself."

"Don't be kidding, I'm still a student." Kyle shook his head helplessly, "Dumbledore won't allow me to leave school, so I can't do this."

Yeah, Kyle is still a student, and he won't graduate for more than a year, which means he can only stay in school most of the time.

After realizing this, Umbridge's breathing became much heavier, and the smile on her face finally became less fake.

 “What else?” she asked.

"That's all I know." Kyle said, "How to do it depends on the minister's arrangements. He didn't tell me."

"That's right." Umbridge raised her head, "The fewer people know about this kind of secret operation, the better."

"I would like to remind you." Kyle looked at her and said solemnly: "You represent the Minister and the Ministry of Magic in this process, so you must show an attitude of being incompatible with the Death Eaters. The more resolute the better.

"If you don't know what to do, just refer to Mr. Barty Crouch or Alastor Moody. They have pretty good views on Death Eaters."

"I know what to do." Umbridge said dissatisfied: "You'd better figure out your identity. Even if you are trusted by the minister, you are still just an intern assistant to the minister. Don't teach me how to do things. "

“This is natural.” Kyle smiled, stood up and said, “Then I will be at Hogwarts, waiting to see the good news you bring, Minister Umbridge.”

I don’t know if it was an oversight, but Umbridge didn’t correct Kyle’s title again until Kyle left the Defense Against the Dark Arts office.
