The Admiral of Hogwarts

Regarding those non-human intelligent beings, Hugo had always suspected that they were also humans, just some subspecies of humans. After all, the lack of reproductive isolation was already a very telling point.

Therefore, an important research topic at the base on Mars now is to study the differences between different intelligent creatures from a genetic perspective and to look for the possibility of genetic enhancement.

After all, each intelligent creature has its own advantages, so if the advantageous genes from them can be summarized, it should strengthen the human body and lay the foundation for future space exploration.

Because if we want to explore the universe, the current human body is still too fragile. Although they have developed a way for ordinary people to master extraordinary power, the threshold is too high and it is not universal.

Therefore, Hugo and the others now hope to strengthen ordinary people, who are destined to be the main force in space exploration, through some simple methods, because only in this way can they truly achieve the space colonization plan.

However, it is not easy to do this. At least, even if Hugo and the others have knowledge from multiple worlds, they have only found a little clue. It may take several years to put this thing into use.

Fortunately, the entire space colonization plan is also a long-term plan, so several years is enough for them. At least, it is not needed in the current short-term solar system colonization stage.

After confirming that the ship girls' actions went smoothly this time and successfully rescued Haig and his brother, Hugo and the others began to write their homework. This is an important problem that students have to face, even if you save the world, you still have to do your homework.

The next morning, the owl delivered the new issue of "The Daily Prophet" as usual. But to be honest, this issue of "The Daily Prophet" should not have been delivered at breakfast, because the content was too unappetizing:

The front page used an entire page to print a large photo of Dolores Umbridge. She was smiling and blinking at them again and again.

Below this chapter with a strong emetic effect was the title: Ministry of Magic Seeks Education Reform, Dolores Umbridge Appointed as First Senior Investigator.

"Fudge's eating habits are too ugly." Hugo knew what was going on with just a glance at the newspaper. "He desperately stretches his mouth into the trough when he sees the benefits, and some shameless guys even stretch their front hooves in."

"What are you talking about?" Zhang Qiu, who had just finished reading the letter Cedric sent her, raised her head and asked with a puzzled look.

I have to say that compared to Percy, who is a bit too realistic, Cedric is indeed a very good man. For example, although he went to work in the Ministry of Magic this year, he still writes two letters to Zhang Qiu every week to tell each other's grievances.

"In a temporary action last night, the Ministry of Magic passed a new decree, giving it unprecedented control over Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. For some time, the Minister has become increasingly uneasy about the current situation at Hogwarts.

Because the teaching in this school has gone astray, both professors and students have been misled for too long, and they don't even know what the correct teaching method is." Hermione picked up the newspaper and read aloud, attracting many people to look over.

In recent weeks, Minister Cornelius Fudge has issued several decrees targeting Hogwarts, clearly reflecting the Ministry of Magic's attempt to intervene here.

For example, the "Educational Decree No. 22" was passed on August 30 not long ago to ensure that if the current headmaster cannot provide a candidate for a certain teaching position, the Ministry of Magic will recommend a suitable candidate.

"Dumbledore couldn't find anyone, so the Minister appointed Umbridge. Needless to say, she immediately achieved great success—"

"What, great success?" Zhang Qiu's eyes widened, because this was completely different from what she knew.

"Wait, it's not over yet." Hermione put on a calm gesture and continued to read.

"—immediately achieved great success, making a breakthrough change in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, and providing the Minister with timely on-site feedback on the real situation at Hogwarts.

This is an exciting new initiative in the Minister's plan to control the so-called decline in Hogwarts' educational level. The Investigator will have the power to review her fellow faculty members to ensure they all meet the standards. Professor Umbridge has been granted this position in addition to her teaching duties, and we are pleased to announce that she has gladly accepted."

"These new measures by the Ministry of Magic have received enthusiastic support from the parents of Hogwarts students. Mr. Lucius Malfoy, 41, was interviewed by us last night at his Wiltshire mansion," Hugo picked up another newspaper and read.

"He said that many people who care about the vital interests of their children have been worried about Dumbledore's bizarre decisions in recent years, and now they are very pleased to learn that the Ministry of Magic is paying close attention to this situation."

"Enthusiastic support from parents, but why didn't anyone ask us and the parents for our opinions?" A voice came from the group of people who had been attracted over. "My father wrote a letter yesterday worrying that I might not pass the final exam."

"If I were a parent like Malfoy, I would agree." Hugo said from the side in a somewhat sarcastic tone. "After all, in this way, families like them with inheritance will naturally gain an extra advantage in the exam."

"This is simply—"

"Too bad, this is really too bad."

After Hugo's voice fell, there was an immediate burst of complaints around him. For Ravenclaw students, they could naturally understand why the controllers behind the Ministry of Magic did this. Although there are many pure-blood families from Ravenclaw, they focus more on academics, and they are mainly technical officials and external technicians in the Ministry of Magic, and they do not have too many extra ways to cultivate their children.

So, at least now it seems that everything the Ministry of Magic is doing now hurts the Gryffindors the most. It has an impact on the united Hufflepuffs and the inherently intelligent Ravenclaws, but it is not a big impact, and Slytherin is obviously the beneficiary.

"Doesn't anyone have a different opinion on the Ministry of Magic's behavior?" After everyone muttered for a few minutes to vent their emotions, a voice suddenly asked.

"Of course there are, but the problem is that the Ministry of Magic has shown unprecedented will on this matter." Hermione said, turning to the back of the newspaper and reading the following passage.

"I believe that appointing an Investigator is the first step to ensuring that Hogwarts has a headmaster we can all trust," a Ministry of Magic insider said last night.

Griselda Marchbanks and Tiberius Ogden, elders of the Wizengamot, resigned in protest of the appointment of an Investigator to Hogwarts.

"Hogwarts is a school, not an outpost of Cornelius Fudge's office." Mrs. Marchbanks said, "This is an attempt to further discredit Albus Dumbledore, and it is a disgusting act."

(For detailed reports on Mrs. Marchbanks being accused of secretly colluding with the Goblin subversive group, please see page 17 of this newspaper.)
