Hogwarts: Harley from The Witch Way - Chapter 395

c380 The witch’s vision is indeed very accurate.

According to the latest statement reported by Ludo just yesterday, Fudge is on the verge of stepping down, and many decrees will be rejected.

Even now, those pure-blood families who secretly follow Voldemort are still supporting Fudge and trying to help him stabilize his current situation.

However, there is no way to stop the collapse of the building. Fudge will completely leave the Ministry of Magic within half a year at most, and may even disappear in a physical sense.

After all, his craziness during this period made him offend many neutral purebloods, and these people were not good people.

Unless Fudge is willing to voluntarily give up his rights now, he might still be able to get a consultant position in the Ministry of Magic without real power, and save his life so that he can live out his old age in peace.

However, Fudge is definitely not willing to accept this miserable reality. He is greedy for power, so he goes against Dumbledore.

Now let him give up his rights…it would be better to kill him.

The appearance of the pink toad in Hogwarts is the last struggle Fudge can make in the limited scope of power he now has.

Based on the information provided by Ludo, Rita and Dobby, Fudge probably maintained his original goal and wanted to directly attack Dumbledore’s reputation.

Since fabricating black material in newspapers doesn’t work, then artificially induce Dumbledore to create black material and let Professor Dumbledore stigmatize himself.

So Fudge first learned from old Lucius and young Draco that Hogwarts professors did not follow the syllabus set by the Wizarding Examination Authority during class.

In the two courses of Transfiguration and Herbalism, Professor McGonagall and Professor Sprout will probably refer to the progress required by the syllabus.

As for courses like Potions and Divination, the professor always puts the outline aside and advances the course as he pleases.

As for the Defense Against the Dark Arts course… there is no syllabus at all, and even the Wizarding Examination Authority has almost given up on this course.

After all, changing professors every year means no matter how good the outline is.

Fudge discovered clues and opportunities from this phenomenon.

He wants to ask the Wizarding Examination Authority to revise the syllabus so that the exam courses on the syllabus are no longer aggressive and practical, but more theoretical.

In Fudge’s conception, the professors at Hogwarts probably wouldn’t pay so much attention to the syllabus, or they would still not abide by the syllabus and continue to teach classes as planned.

In this way, he can conduct political maneuvers and find ways to twist the facts into Dumbledore’s attempt to create an army composed entirely of teenage wizards and overthrow the Ministry of Magic, thus completely stigmatizing it.

Although it sounds outrageous, according to Fudge’s low IQ, he feels that this is really worth a try.

But the members of the Wizarding Examination Authority naturally rejected his unreasonable request.

Among them, Gsilda Marchbain and Tirubeth Ogden, who were also senior members of the Wizengamot, became increasingly indignant because of Fudge’s attitude and behavior, and accelerated the adoption of the impeachment proposal for Fudge.

After this approach failed and personally added fuel to his own downfall, Fudge had no choice but to do the next best thing.

So Umbridge was promoted to Senior Undersecretary and Senior Investigator of the Ministry of Magic, and was stationed at Hogwarts.

The reason for Umbridge’s existence is also very simple. After all, Professor Dumbledore personally admitted that among the recent Defense Against the Dark Arts professors, Quirrell was the dark wizard who wanted to steal the Philosopher’s Stone, and Lockhart wanted to inherit it. A dark wizard of Slytherin heritage, while Lupine is a werewolf.

This completely proves that Dumbledore has problems in selecting professors, and the Ministry of Magic has the obligation to re-examine professors to ensure that the level of Hogwarts professors is online.

That’s what he said, but looking at the groveling look on Umbridge’s face when facing Professor Dumbledore, Harry didn’t believe that she was Fudge’s lackey.

Harley suddenly became interested in this and wanted to know what happened.

…………

Harley was still quietly arranging tasks for Rita and Ludo there, when the door of the auditorium opened.

The first-year students walked into the auditorium under the leadership of Professor McGonagall.

Professor McGonagall still held the familiar shabby stool in her hand, and the ancient Sorting Hat on it was still unwashed for a thousand years and was full of dust.

The exchanges in the auditorium gradually died down, and the first-year students lined up in front of the staff table, facing classmates from other grades.

All the teachers and students also held their breath and waited quietly. Then the slit next to the hat brim opened like a mouth and began to sing loudly.

This year, the Sorting Hat’s song has the same old-fashioned melody as always, but the content of the lyrics has undergone earth-shaking changes.

In the past, it was all about describing the differences between the four schools, praising Gryffindor wildly, occasionally praising Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff, and implicitly belittling Slytherin.

This is also understandable, because the previous owner of the Sorting Hat was Gryffindor.

Saying something about the cunning and cunning Slytherin has become its annual repertoire, and even the Slytherins are used to it.

Anyway, it’s just a spiritual comfort. After all, only the most powerful villain will be targeted by everyone.

But this year, the Sorting Hat went against its own character for the first time. It actually started praising Slytherin!

Something’s wrong, something’s really wrong! Even little wizards can see something is wrong!

But when the song reached the end, everyone understood why the Sorting Hat praised Slytherin.

It turns out it was meant to serve as a warning to everyone in the following song, asking for unity.

It can only be said that the Sorting Hat put down his greatest pleasure for the safety of Hogwarts!

It really sacrifices too much!

After the singing and sorting, Professor Dumbledore raised his hand and summoned a large number of delicacies that had long been in the kitchen.

During the dinner, Hermione also asked Nick if the Sorting Hat had ever issued a warning like this in the history of Hogwarts.

“Of course I proposed it.” Nick tried to remember,

“Whenever the Sorting Hat believes Hogwarts is in great danger, it will issue a warning.”

“The content of the warning is always unchanged. I hope everyone can unite and maintain internal stability.”

“When was the last time it gave a warning?” Hermione asked.

“Let me think about it…” Nick spun around in the air, weighing his head.

“I remember that during the last Wizarding War in Wizarding Britain, the Sorting Hat issued a warning at the beginning of every school year.”

“Further back…and even further back is when Principal Phineas Black was in office.”

“At that time, the Sorting Hat issued an extremely stern warning, but no one remembers the specific reason why, and it is not recorded in the school history.”

“Anyway, Principal Phineas is highly skilled in magic and calmed down the crisis at that time.”

Hermione nodded thoughtfully, and Harry suddenly remembered something.

“Sir Nicholas, did the Sorting Hat issue a warning when the dark wizard Grindelwald was roaming Europe?”

“That’s not true,” Nick scratched the non-existent hair on his head.

“But this is normal. After all, Grindelwald has been on the European continent and has never entered the magical world of Great Britain.”

“So the wizards in the wizarding world of Great Britain have no fear of Grindelwald, the Dark Lord of this generation. At most, they are just a little curious.”

“At that time, everyone still didn’t know why Grindelwald didn’t dare to set foot in Britain.”

“Later, someone specially came to ask Professor Dumbledore to take action. Professor Dumbledore also successfully defeated Grindelwald. Only after everyone realized that Grindelwald was afraid of Professor Dumbledore.”

After getting the information she wanted, Harley nodded with satisfaction.

Oh, Grindelwald is really afraid of Professor Dumbledore.

Thinking about what he saw and heard during the holiday, it seems that the relationship between the two is indeed worthy of careful scrutiny.

And I really didn’t guess wrong. As expected, the witch’s vision is still very accurate!
