Hogwarts Homecoming

Ms. Umbridge's shrill scream came from the office behind the door, and this scream full of anger and hatred stopped as she knocked on the door. Delis outside the door hesitated for a moment, feeling a little regretful. However, the deep call from the minister behind the door left him no room for regret.

"minister--"

Opening the door, Minister Fudge was sitting in his office. His downcast eyebrows and gloomy aura made the paper cranes flying out of the fireplace dare not approach, while Ms. Umbridge's face The hostility made Delis deeply regret the time he chose to report.

Maybe the news he brought could make the two top figures in the ministry happy?

With this idea in mind, Delis walked into the minister's office.

"I hope you better tell me that you have found out the information about the sender of that damn package, Deluxe."

It was completely different from Dumbledore's office at Hogwarts before. The majesty of the Minister of Magic was deeply engraved on Fudge's chubby face, which made Delis panic.

"--H-I'm sorry, Mr. Minister, Ms. Umbridge, the Aurors are still tracking down the information about that package. You, you must know that it will take some time."

The oppressive atmosphere in the office before a thunderstorm simply made it difficult for Delis to breathe. Maybe wizards like Dumbledore and Brian could ignore the majesty of the high-ranking officials of the Ministry of Magic, but he definitely had no ability to resist the majesty of wizards from the top of power.

"I came here to report to you and Ms. Umbridge because of something interesting."

"interesting?!"

Fudge interrupted Delis's staccato narration unceremoniously. His last trace of ministerial demeanor prevented him from yelling at Delis to get out of his office. Didn't this stupid guy understand that nothing was wrong for him now? interesting?

"Oh, it's not important!"

Delis's stiff gray hair was full of sweat. He didn't bother to wipe his sweaty temples and immediately changed his statement,

"Maybe. I mean, the students at Hogwarts violated the Statute of Secrecy, and one of them was Harry Potter."

After dilly-dallying for a long time, Delis finally said the key things, and this really aroused the minister's interest. Even Ms. Umbridge, who had a somewhat ferocious look on her face, turned to him after being stunned. Came a focused gaze.

"Harry Potter violated the Statute of Wizarding Secrecy. This doesn't sound new."

But after the initial surprise, Fudge said without interest,

"This is not the first time that boy has done this. He used a hovering spell in front of a group of Muggles at the Muggle home where he was staying. He also lost control of his emotions and turned his aunt into a He bought a big balloon, during the days when Sirius escaped from prison. But Dumbledore likes this kind of boy who is full of rebellious spirit and treats the laws of the Ministry of Magic as a piece of paper."

As he spoke, Cornelius Fudge's brows and eyes were filled with anger again,

"Just because he is the 'Boy-Who-Lived' and has Dumbledore's protection. Oh, and now he has the protection of Brian, the Ministry of Magic must keep silent about his illegal activities. I promise you, more Lores, if another boy dares to behave like this, even if he is a descendant of Merlin, I will definitely let the dementors prepare a separate cell for him in Azkaban!"

"I'm more interested in that!"

Listening to Minister Fudge's somewhat frivolous complaints and tantrums, Delis looked disappointed.

After Minister Fudge, Ms. Umbridge and Ms. Bones went to Hogwarts because of the terrorist attack on Hermione Granger, Ms. Bones looked normal, but the Minister and Ms. Umbridge The poor expressions on their faces made it obvious that they must have suffered defeat at the hands of Dumbledore and Brain without asking any further questions.

Therefore, when he discovered that Harry Potter had violated the law, he came back to report excitedly. He thought he could please the minister, but unexpectedly, Minister Fudge did not pay attention to his discovery.

Fortunately, Ms. Umbridge seems to be interested in this.

"--What the hell did Harry Potter do, Dolith?"

When she came to her side, Ms. Umbridge became friendly and asked enthusiastically.

"Oh, that's right, Ms. Umbridge!"

Seeing the twists and turns of things, Delis didn't dare to slack off and immediately told everything he knew.

"In order to investigate the package, we went to the post office in Hogsmeade and checked the shipping information there.

Three students at Hogwarts: Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, Arthur's youngest son, and Hermione Granger, who was attacked today. Before the attack, they Went to the Hogsmeade post office and sent some things to London."

Looking at Ms. Umbridge who was fascinated by what she heard, Delis said quickly,

"The registered address was a Muggle orphanage. This caught my attention, so I asked the mailmen at the post office. Someone told me that he heard the red-haired man, Arthur's son, say 'Hopefully they'll like my old clothes, oh, but it's a pity I'm not like you, Harry, with all the gold to buy so many sweets for them'.

As you know, there is only one candy shop in Hogsmeade that attracts the most attention, and that is Honeydukes Candy Shop. So, I found the owner of that shop and asked, and he was indeed concerned about Harry Potter visiting his shop that day. There is an image, because that boy was the one who spent the most money that morning. He almost bought all the candies in their store! "

Afraid that the minister and Ms. Umbridge would not understand, Delis said eagerly,

"You must know that some of those candies contain magical elements. If they get into the hands of Muggles, the magic will be exposed. There is no doubt that this is a violation of the Wizarding Statute of Secrecy!"

"Send Honeydukes candies to the orphanage. That seems like a stupid thing that boy would do."

There was a moment of silence. Fudge touched the corner of his mouth that was a little angry and frowned. His dull look made Umbridge, who was blinded, almost gasp.

"Don't you realize... Well, I mean, this is a perfect opportunity, Minister!"

"A chance. But we still have to deal with the Muggles for that boy, you mean?"

Fudge looked at Dolores in confusion. When he saw that Dolores, who had just been furious because she had lost her rights, was now looking excited, Fudge finally came to his senses.

"--You mean, using it as a pretext to Dumbledore and Blaine. But you know, Dolores, this is just a small thing."

Umbridge glanced at the sullen Delis, thought for a while, and did not drive him out. She suppressed her excited voice and said in a bewitching tone,

"As I just said, Brian and Dumbledore have obviously tried to interfere with your decision-making in the Ministry. They will only become more and more excessive, and we must fight back. Of course, it is not possible to attack them directly. Wise, but now...we have a good chance!"

Umbridge gasped excitedly,

"We all know that Harry Potter is the favorite pupil of Dumbledore and Blaine. Oh, yes, it is indeed a small thing for him to make this mistake, but if..."

The excitement made Umbridge look more like a red-faced toad, but she was not aware of the ugly appearance caused by her ferocious smile, and her tone was sinister,

"What if those magical candies did more serious harm to Muggles."

Looking at the glint in Umbridge's eyes, a chill ran down Fudge's spine, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

He wanted to scold this female assistant who had always been firmly on his side. However, before he could speak, a few hours ago, in Dumbledore's office, while Brian was looking domineering, Dumbledore was uncharacteristically solemn. blocked his mind and cut off what he wanted to say.

"Of course I know the risks involved, Connelly--"

Umbridge whispered seductively,

"But as long as this time, the hidden danger can be completely eliminated. From now on, Dumbledore must surrender and obey the instructions of the Ministry of Magic, and Brian will be expelled."

Get Dumbledore to obey, get Amosta Brain out of Hogwarts, get out of Britain!

Unconsciously, Connelly's face turned red and his temples beat wildly. This bright future was indeed very tempting. If the boy could be used to achieve this goal, the Ministry of Magic would no longer have any constraints.

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Connelly, Dumbledore and Brian's attention is all on the little witch. They won't realize that we get the handle first and then wait for the right time."

Dumbledore and Brain are not senior officials of the Ministry of Magic, but their status in the hearts of the people is too high, their voices in the wizarding world are too high, and coupled with their unfathomable magic power, they are more powerful than any political opponents. Danger!

"What are you still hesitating about, Connelly?"

The urgency in Umbridge's voice gradually made Connelly's eyes turn red and his breathing became hot.

"What are you going to do, Dolores?"

Done!

For a moment, Umbridge's breathing became smoother. Suddenly, she turned her head and looked at Delis, who was shrinking her neck, with a happy smile on her face.

"Deluxe, can I believe that you are absolutely loyal to the Ministry of Magic and loyal to the Minister?"

With a sudden shudder, Delis's short gray hair exploded with tremors. He raised his head and found that not only Ms. Umbridge, but also the minister was looking at him with serious eyes.

"certainly!"

His voice became hoarse at some point, but with his neck reddening, he still tried his best to raise his chest to express his feelings.

"I am very loyal to the minister!"

"Very good, Delis!"

Umbridge let out a string of sickening laughter,

"You know that Bones is trying to expand the team of beaters. Delis, this matter has been resolved and will be implemented as soon as possible. This new team will be staffed by an employee who is loyal to the Ministry of Magic and the Minister."

Step by step closer to the excited and trembling Delis, Umbridge chuckled coquettishly,

"Go, Delis, and stop Harry Potter from committing a stupid act that may expose the wizarding world. I believe you will be able to complete the task beautifully, right?"

"You started the war first!"

Looking at Deluxe striding away, Cornelius Fudge's expression finally turned sinister behind the desk.
