"Oh, my goodness, Mafalda, what happened? Who made her angry?" Rufus placed the half-drunk drink on his desk and looked up at the sound coming from the office, asking his assistant.

"Someone sent her a letter," Mafalda glanced at the office door and whispered, "And then, it turned out like this."

Unlike Rufus, Mafalda was somewhat afraid of her boss. Whenever discussing her matters, she would be extra careful not to jeopardize her current job.

"A letter?" Rufus didn't quite understand, but he didn't continue to ask. He knew his boss's personality.

Yes, a letter—a letter that had been torn to pieces.

The Director of the Misuse of Muggle Artefacts Office had never been so angry. She felt threatened, and the one threatening her was Hestock Dagworth.

The name was not unfamiliar to her.

A few days ago, Hestock Dagworth had already come once, but he was promptly rejected by her.

This time, Hestock didn't come, but he sent a letter. The meaning of the letter was probably: If you don't apologize to him, he will apologize for you through the Daily Prophet.

Hestock even prepared a draft for his own apology and included it in the envelope.

Even without reading the draft, she knew what kind of trouble Hestock Dagworth, a renowned potion master, would cause for her if he apologized for the Ministry in the Daily Prophet.

No one would think that Hestock Dagworth was making a big deal out of nothing. They would wonder why the Ministry of Magic needed such an accomplished potion master to apologize.

Then, she would be the unlucky one.

The worst-case scenario was losing her current position. Many people were eyeing her position, and those colleagues she usually had a bad relationship with would surely kick her when she was down.

Apologize—this was the only thing she could do now.

Let Hestock Dagworth smoothly regain his Gold Member card; otherwise, who knows what he might do.

Why did things turn out this way? It was truly incomprehensible.

The problem still needed to be resolved.

Who was the guy that Hestock wanted her to apologize to?

"Mafalda."

The Director of the Misuse of Muggle Artefacts Office had long forgotten who caused her so much trouble, but she knew that her assistant knew. Mafalda was one of the few people who knew.

Finally, after checking the archive files herself, she wrote the apology letter. Actually, she could have had her assistant write it for her, but...in the end, she didn't, to avoid causing further trouble.

How could someone who could sit in the Director's seat of the Misuse of Muggle Artefacts Office be someone without a brain?

This little matter would be endured and pass. Endure... The quill in her hand bent.

...

On a weekend afternoon, Albert left Professor Rowena's office. Professor Smith was good at many things, and they had many common topics.

The exchange and communication in academics greatly expanded Albert's skills and experience.

Just as he returned to the common room, a senior student called out to Albert and handed him a letter. The envelope only had the recipient's name, but no sender's name, which was quite strange. However, when Albert saw the letter sealed with Waxen, he knew it was from the Ministry of Magic.

Albert already had a guess about the contents of the letter, so he opened it right then and there.

Mr. Anderson,

We have received a letter from Mr. Dagworth...

Albert quickly scanned it; it was full of insincere excuses and so-called apologies without any sincerity. But Albert didn't expect them to genuinely apologize anyway.

What mattered to Albert the most was the name of the sender: Dolores Umbridge, Director of the Misuse of Muggle Artefacts Office.

"Dolores Umbridge?" Albert looked at the sender's name and repeated it softly.

Then, Albert couldn't help but furrow his brow slightly and murmured, "Umbridge? It sounds familiar. Ministry of Magic? Umbridge... Defense Against the Dark Arts... pink... toad... Senior Inquisitor at Hogwarts!"

"Oh, so it's her!" Albert suddenly realized and finally remembered who this person was.

That Defense Against the Dark Arts professor who appeared in the fifth year? Unexpectedly, she was now the Director of the Misuse of Muggle Artefacts Office.

At this moment, Albert understood why Hestock disliked this woman so much.

Calling her an ugly woman was not an exaggeration at all!

In Albert's scattered memories, Umbridge was a woman who was arrogant, unreasonable, and had an insatiable desire for control.

Expect her to apologize? It seemed a bit difficult. Hestock was indeed in a dilemma; it wasn't easy for him to get back that Gold Member card.

Albert checked the envelope and compared it with the notes he made about the warning letter. It probably wasn't written by the person named Mafalda Hopkirk.

Actually, there was another clue.

The handwriting on the parchment was very deep, as if the writer wanted to poke a hole in it.

This was enough to indicate that the person writing the letter was very emotional at the time.

If Albert knew that Dolores Umbridge used up five quills just to write this letter, he wouldn't describe it as just "emotional."

In Albert's opinion, if the other party could calculate all these details, he could only accept this matter.

However, the likelihood of that was very small.

However, after knowing that Dolores Umbridge was the Director of the Misuse of Muggle Artefacts Office at the Ministry of Magic, Albert could understand why she would send Dementors to attack Harry.

After all, as the Director of the Misuse of Muggle Artefacts Office, she naturally knew the relevant laws very well.

"What's wrong? Whose letter is it?" Lee Jordan asked curiously.

"From the Ministry of Magic, it's about the last incident. It's resolved now." Albert folded the letter and put it back into his robe pocket. "Where are you going?"

"To the library. Want to come along?"

"Sure, wait for me, I'm just going back to the dorm to get something." Albert returned to the dorm to retrieve his things.

"To look up something?" Lee Jordan asked when he heard Albert's words.

"What do you mean?"

"You don't even know?" Lee Jordan looked at Shanna in surprise.

"Know what?" Shanna asked, looking puzzled.

"Albert and Kat's bet!" Lee Jordan explained with a smile. "I heard that they made a bet to answer riddles. I overheard Albert and Kat talking about it this morning. The time is estimated to be in the middle of the month. Let's see who can answer a hundred riddles correctly."

"A hundred riddles?" Shanna couldn't help but widen her eyes. Riddles weren't too difficult for her, but to answer a hundred riddles correctly wasn't an easy task.

Without a doubt, this was a contest between two geniuses.

"Who do you think will win?" Lee Jordan asked Shanna.

"Need to ask? Of course, it'll be Albert." Shanna said matter-of-factly, "That guy is a true genius. How could he possibly lose to anyone else?"
