Chapter 358: Hogwarts High Inquisitor

Since Dumbledore's battle with Grindelwald, the wizarding world has again fallen into peace.

At first, the specific details were not revealed, and all those in the know were vague about it.

In fact, the two of them did not issue any sealing orders at the beginning, and they were allowed to mention such words.

But the reason why smart people are smart people is that they think more than others and do things more cautiously.

If one day, Grindelwald saw that all the magical community was saying that he had lost to Dumbledore, would he be angry?

They don't know if there is such a possibility, and they won't gamble.

Therefore, the present delicate situation has been formed, and what happened that day has become more and more mysterious.

But no matter what, at least on the surface, Dumbledore suppressed Grindelwald, which made him dare not act rashly.

Therefore, most people also think Dumbledore is stronger and more secure in his heart.

This makes Dumbledore, who has been silent for many years, again on the international stage, and his fame is even greater.

In the British magical community, things are more complicated.

A few days ago, the Daily Prophet and the Ministry of Magic were frantically smearing Dumbledore.

Describe him as a conspirator, an old lunatic.

Many people believed it, but everyone had doubts after the news of Grindelwald this time.

When it comes to fighting the darkness, Dumbledore is absolutely unambiguous, so is it true that what he and Harry said about Voldemort's return?

This kind of thing happens not only outside but inside Hogwarts as well.

Seamus found Harry for a long talk, and Seamus decided to believe Harry's words and sincerely apologized.

The two are reunited.

Everything is developing in a good direction, but some people are unsatisfied.

Umbridge is one of them.

Her work at Hogwarts lately has been arduous.

Every day in class, students are asked to read or do some test papers she produced.

This reminded some old students of Lockhart, and Lockhart was the same at the beginning.

But Lockhart at least let them play the characters in the book, so they took a drama class.

Therefore, many unbearable students chose to skip classes. The Weasley twins' Puking Pastilles was so hot that it was out of stock.

They had to post recruitment information on the notice board, and the pay was so generous that Ron was jealous.

It's a pity that he doesn't know alchemy at all, and he's not very good at potions. It's also a mess when he goes, and Fred directly rejects him.

In the following time, Umbridge often found that some students would have fevers, nosebleeds, and faint in class.

She knew that it was definitely someone who was playing tricks.

But she continued to teach several students without finding any problems, so she could only let these people skip classes.

After coming to school, everything goes wrong, and Harry and Dumbledore become increasingly proud of themselves recently.

In a fit of rage, Umbridge went to find Fudge.

The following day, while Alvin, Cho, and the others were having breakfast in the Great Hall, Hermione skillfully opened the Magic Web.

Recently, the Daily Prophet and Alvin also began cooperating, selling electronic newspapers on it.

Every morning, the number of owls flying into the school was much less in an instant.

In fact, many people are fed up with owls delivering newspapers at breakfast.

It's okay to drop some feathers during the flight. Still, if you have unidentified excrement in your oatmeal, it's really disgusting for the whole day.

And Hermione, who was checking what news today was as usual, exclaimed, making Cho next to her curiously lean over.

"Ministry of Magic seeks education reform: Dolores Umbridge named Hogwarts High Inquisitor."

Seeing this title, Cho was a little confused. "What is a High Inquisitor?"

Hermione continued to read aloud. "To ensure the quality of teaching at Hogwarts, the Inquisitor have powers to inspect her fellow educators and ensure that they are coming up to scratch."

"Her evaluation will affect whether fellow educators can continue to serve in school."

"This is a highly controversial move, for which two Wizengamot elders who have opposed the creation of an Inquisitor have resigned from the Board of Education."

Hermione finished reading with an expression of disbelief. "This is just shameless! She has the face to say that she censors other professors at that level?!"

"Perhaps this is a way for Fudge to tighten his grip on Hogwarts." Luna responded softly.

"He made everything unreasonable from a legal point of view."

Others around the table saw the news and discussed it in whispers.

In the High Table, Dumbledore was not there, and Umbridge showed off something to Professor McGonagall on his device.

From the look on Professor McGonagall's face, we knew that she must be very unhappy, and her right hand was eager to grab the wand inserted in her robe.

And Alvin is indifferent to this. He is watching another big news.

"To strengthen the Ministry of Magic against the forces of darkness, Fudge has decided to form a brand new Auror Battalion under the direct command of the Minister."

That is an excellent idea.

Alvin commented in his heart it was clear that Fudge's fear of Dumbledore was now at its peak.

To strengthen the power in his hand, he skillfully used the name of Grindelwald to select Aurors.

And he also bypassed Scrimgeour, the head of the Auror's office, and became his own direct unit.

It's like killing two birds with one stone.

It's a pity that the idea is perfect, but he doesn't know what the result will be.

At least Alvin was going to put his man in it.

In the past, wanting to work at the Ministry of Magic required excellent academic performance and strict background checks.

But this time, as long as you can pass the Aurors' battle test and aren't a dark wizard on record, then you can join.

It's a policy tailored for Alvin.

With the development of the past few years, it was relatively easy for the Arya family to bring out more than a dozen Auror-level wizards.

At that time, most of Fudge's troops would be his own people, making him laugh to think about it.

After some calculations, Fudge made a wedding dress for himself.

Alvin clicked on Arya's avatar and issued a few commands with the Magic Web device.

Looking at the little witches who were still discussing, he reluctantly interrupted.

"I don't know what Umbridge is going to do. But if you go on talking, the professors will get you there first."

Hearing his words, Hermione jumped up. "The first class is Transfiguration. Alvin, let's go!"

After speaking, Hermione picked up a piece of bread in one hand and Alvin in the other and hurried to the classroom.
