Hogwarts: I'm Cousin Harry

Chapter 372 366. You can be interested in that position

"No, you can't do that."

The shrill voice echoed in the hall, and the little wizards stared at the scene in front of them in stunned silence. Professor Trelawney from the Divination class stood in the middle of the hall, her glasses on both sides of her ears were crooked, and her clothes were disheveled sitting on the ground, next to her There were two large boxes, one standing upside down, as if it had been thrown down the stairs.

Maybe it shouldn't be used as if it was actually thrown down the stairs.

There was no doubt that it was Umbridge.

This pink toad walked down the stairs coyly like a girl, looking at Professor Trelawney with a smile, but this smile was not so friendly in the eyes of the Divination Professor.

It can even be said to be a devil's smile.

"You can't fire me!" Professor Trelawney choked with a trembling voice, her eyes were red and bloodshot: "I am. I have been here for 16 years! A whole 16 years! Hogg Watts is me. My home!”

"Your former home, to be precise."

Umbridge still maintained a fake smile: "You have not passed the Ministry of Magic's review. We cannot tolerate a liar as a Divination teacher."

"You're fired, but I'm a kind person and can give you an hour. Please don't make things difficult for us, otherwise we can only take coercive measures."

As she finished speaking, the two expressionless Aurors behind her each took a step forward.

Although most young wizards don't like Professor Trelawney, and even other professors don't like her nagging character, seeing her driven away by Umbridge will inevitably make her feel a bit sad.

"Sybil!"

Professor McGonagall walked out of the crowd. The resolute Transfiguration professor ignored Umbridge's warning eyes and stepped forward to help Professor Trelawney up.

He hugged her and comforted her softly: "It's okay, no one will drive you away."

"No one? Professor McGonagall, I think I heard you right."

Umbridge looked at Professor McGonagall coldly and said in a resentful voice: "Then who approved it? I have Minister Fudge here."

"it's me."

Dumbledore stepped out of the crowd and looked levelly at Umbridge.

"It turns out to be Professor Dumbledore." Umbridge was not afraid at all when she saw the visitor: "You came just in time. Now we will deal with unqualified professors. According to the latest regulations of the Ministry of Magic's Education Order, I have the qualifications for a professor. Professors who are not qualified can be fired."

"The latest Ministry of Magic regulations did not pass the school board."

Dumbledore directly interrupted Umbridge's tirade: "So now these regulations are not in effect and I am the principal of Hogwarts. Only the principal has the power to appoint and dismiss professors."

Umbridge looked at Dumbledore bitterly and said harsh words: "Don't worry, don't worry, it will be passed soon, and you will also be removed from the position of principal by then."

"Then you just wait until that day comes first."

Dumbledore didn't pay any attention to Umbridge's gaze. He turned to Professor McGonagall and said, "Minerva, I need to trouble you to take Sybil back to rest."

Under Umbridge's malicious gaze, Professor McGonagall helped Professor Trelawney go upstairs.

That night, in the principal's office.

"Are you just going to let that pink toad go on doing this?"

Dudley teased Fawkes with a bag of magical creature rations.

As he raised more and more magical animals, his "cooking skills" became more and more exquisite. As a phoenix, Fox was inseparable from the rations he made.

"Didn't you take any action?"

"Professor, I'm just a kid, what can I do?" Dudley winked at him.

Dumbledore looked at this 'child' who was taller than him and looked like a hill with a speechless expression.

"It was Connelly who misunderstood. I don't want that position. I have no interest in power."

Dumbledore sighed, his tone rather helpless.

"Professor, sometimes running away is not a good idea."

Dudley shook his head, put a whole bag of 'rations' into Fawkes' nest, found a seat and sat down: "What matters is not whether you are really interested, but whether Fudge thinks you are interested."

“I think you could actually be interested in that position.”

Dumbledore shook his head reflexively, and was about to speak when Dudley beat him to it.

"Senior Tom has regained his body, and his magic power is gradually returning to its peak state. He is also followed by a large number of Death Eaters."

"You can ascend to the position of Minister of Magic, and leading Aurors to fight against him is the best choice."

"At worst, I can just resign after solving Senior Tom's matter."

"You really don't think about it?"

Dudley looked at Dumbledore seriously.

If Dumbledore could become the Minister of Magic, it would be much easier to deal with Voldemort.

Dumbledore paused, then shook his head.

What happened back then made him really not want to be exposed to things like power anymore, but what Dudley said was not unreasonable.

"Dudley, I have other ways, don't worry."

"Are you talking about the organization you secretly formed? The Order of the Phoenix? To be honest, I don't think much of them."

Dudley said without mercy.

"Please don't say that. More than ten years ago, they were the main force against the Death Eaters."

"You also said that it was more than ten years ago. As far as I know, most of the elite members of this organization died in the battle with the Death Eaters, such as my poor aunt and uncle. , for example, the remaining members of Neville’s parents have been baptized for so long. How many are left that are worthy of reuse?”

Dudley shook his head. The Order of the Phoenix might have been the main force fighting the Death Eaters in the past, but now
"I heard you included thieves."

When Dumbledore heard this, he immediately said seriously: "Mundungus Fletcher is a trustworthy wizard."

"Isn't that what you said about Peter Pettigrew back then?"

Dumbledore: .
Peter was one of the earliest members of the Order of the Phoenix. On the surface, he was more reliable than Mundungus Fletcher, although it turned out that he was also unreliable.

As for Mundungus Fletcher, he is also not good. Although he did not directly surrender to Voldemort like Peter, this guy almost never did anything reliable in the original book, because he was rushing to deal with the stolen crucible. Harry was unprotected and was attacked by dementors. He stole the pendant (Horcrux) that Regulus bought with his life and sold it. He escaped and indirectly killed Moody.
On the surface, having this person is worse than not having him at all.

It's not that Dudley is slandering him, it's that this thing is really useless.

Incompetent bungler.

Pig teammates are sometimes scarier than divine opponents.
