While Mr. Weasley was attacked at the Ministry of Magic, the atmosphere in Hogwarts was also tense. The struggle between Umbridge and Dumbledore was like a silent storm, gradually brewing to a climax.

Professor Trelawney, who had been expelled before, although her predictions were sometimes accurate and sometimes outrageous, she did say one thing right - without her, Dumbledore would indeed cancel the Divination class.

This course requires extremely high talent from professors. Without that innate insight, how can we penetrate the fog of the future?

According to Trelawney, not everyone has the"Third Eye".

Even masters of fortune-telling like Trelawney, who are sometimes good or bad, are occasionally called old liars. Aren't those fortune-tellers without talent the real liars?

How could Dumbledore allow such a person to stand on the stage of Hogwarts?

It was precisely because of this that Umbridge chose to start from the position of Professor of Divination. Driving Trelawney away was just the first step in her plan. On the surface, this seems to be just a fight for the right to recommend positions, but in fact, Umbridge's goal is much more than that.

She wants to compete with Dumbledore for the personnel rights of Hogwarts.

Some things, the first time can lead to a second time.

Umbridge knows this truth.

As long as she can successfully recommend a professor, there will be a precedent for the Ministry of Magic to intervene in the appointment and dismissal of Hogwarts in the future.

What she was betting on was that Dumbledore would not be able to find a suitable candidate to fill the vacancy left by Trelawney in a short period of time.

For all this, Umbridge has already made full preparations.

She knew clearly that in the entire Yin Kingdom, there were only a handful of wizards with true divination abilities.

Most of them are either too old and incapable of teaching, or their whereabouts are a mystery and difficult to contact.

For the remaining potential candidates, she sent threatening letters in the name of the Ministry of Magic, completely cutting off their possibility of coming to teach at Hogwarts.

In this way, Dumbledore would be in a dilemma.

He was unable to find a suitable Divination professor in a short period of time, and Umbridge could rely on the power granted by the Ministry of Magic to dictate the teaching arrangements at Hogwarts and have the momentum to replace him.

Of course, Dumbledore could also choose to compromise and just find someone with no real talent and knowledge to make a fool of himself.

But not to mention whether Dumbledore's own morals allow him to do this, even if he is really shameless and insists on finding a parallel import to fill the scene, it will only make Umbridge happier.

After all, the existence of a parallel professor would not only damage the reputation of Hogwarts, but also Dumbledore's own face.

And, in that case, Umbridge would never give up.

She could drive away a true seer like Trelawney, and she could easily drive away a guy who taught divination.

In the end, Dumbledore was just wasting his efforts and had to face even greater embarrassment.

But on the other hand, if the Ministry of Magic found a parallel importer to be a professor, Dumbledore would not be able to expel him casually.

It's like no matter how bad Umbridge does, no one can just drive her away.

This is the benefit of occupying the name of the Ministry of Magic.

Although the Ministry of Magic has restrictions on what it can do, and in most cases it must be justified, the Ministry of Magic can take the initiative in all these matters.

If you want to fight against the Ministry of Magic within the rules, you'd better be invulnerable forever, because as long as you show the slightest flaw, the Ministry of Magic can kill you in the name of justice.

But on the other hand, if there is a problem with the Ministry of Magic, as long as it is not too excessive, then you basically only need to punish yourself with three drinks.

Umbridge paced around the office, feeling proud.

She thought her plan was flawless, and Dumbledore would be helpless this time. In order to avoid being criticized as much as possible, she even gave Dumbledore a few extra days to prioritize the candidates for the Divination class to avoid being considered ugly.

She imagined Dumbledore's anxious and helpless look, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but raise.

Judging from Dumbledore's reaction during this period, Umbridge firmly believed that her plan had been successful.

Because Dumbledore had never been able to name any candidates for the Divination class professor, she knew very well that even those Divination masters on her list who were qualified to be professors had not received a visit from Dumbledore.

Just when she thought she had a plan, Dumbledore gave her an unexpected surprise.

When she came to Dumbledore's office again, preparing to place"one of his own" into Hogwarts, Dumbledore told her calmly that he had already found a new Divination professor.

This news was like a bolt from the blue, leaving Umbridge speechless for a moment.

She angrily asked Dumbledore who his new divination professor was, but Dumbledore just mysteriously said he would know in a few days.

He even confidently assured that if the new professor did not arrive within three days, the Ministry of Magic could appoint a new Divination professor on its own.

The smile on Dumbledore's face gave Umbridge a very bad feeling, as if she was being manipulated by the other party. All her previous preparations were just a clown, and they were all jokes in the eyes of the other party.

After sending the frustrated Umbridge away, Dumbledore couldn't help but shook his head gently.

This wise man has always been known for his calmness and thoughtfulness, but at this moment, his face showed rare confusion. He walked slowly to the window, looking through the glass into the depths of the distant Forbidden Forest.

Just a few minutes ago, a piece of news in the Forbidden Forest reached his ears, like a heavy hammer, breaking the peace in Dumbledore's heart.

In front of Umbridge, he acted like he had no plans left, but in fact, he made a serious mistake in a certain link.

However, for an elderly principal who is always busy dealing with various affairs and needs to always think about the future of the school, occasional forgetfulness may be inevitable.

Dumbledore sighed softly, feeling helpless.

The new Divination professor he found to replace Professor Trelawney was Firenze the Centaur.

However, the relationship between centaurs and wizards has always been tense. They reject wizards and hate their superiority complex.

The superiority complex of most wizards always easily touches the nerves of centaurs.

Therefore, when the news of Firenze's decision to accept the professorship at Hogwarts accidentally leaked to the ears of the centaurs, it meant that a storm was coming.

Centaurs have always regarded being close to wizards as betrayal, and Firenze's move undoubtedly violated their bottom line.

Sure enough, bad news spread among the centaurs like wildfire, and the worst happened.

The person who was wiping this matter was Levin Green, who was drifting away from him and always worrying him.

"Hopefully the situation isn't too bad to be undone."

Dumbledore murmured to himself, and at the same time cast his hopeful gaze on the Forbidden Forest in the distance.

At the same time, Levin was diving into the depths of the Forbidden Forest.

The paths in the forest were winding, but he was walking on level ground. The crowd of galloping horses left.

At this moment, even Dumbledore's reputation would not have any effect on the centaurs, and Hagrid was not in Hogwarts. He was the only one who could stop this.

However, Before he could get close to the group of centaurs, a shocking scene unfolded before his eyes. He saw half of the group of centaurs angrily attacking a fallen figure, kicking them mercilessly with their iron hooves. On the other side.

Levin's heart suddenly sank. What he worried about finally happened.

"`.stop! Stop! What are you doing? Levin shouted angrily and rushed into the chaotic group.

His voice was like thunder, instantly blasting in the ears of the centaurs, causing their movements to freeze involuntarily.

Levin's reputation among the centaurs was indeed Yes, his words were like orders, causing most of the centaurs to stop their atrocities.

However, there were still a few stubborn centaurs who continued to punch and kick Firenze under the instigation of Bain.

See this scene , the anger in Levin's heart suddenly rose up, you still don't listen to what I say, right?

So, he took action without hesitation, his psychic powers were activated instantly, turned into telekinesis, and suddenly used the remaining Several centaurs pushed him away

"Mr. Levin, this is an internal matter within our community. Please don't interfere."

Bain glared at Levin angrily. He obviously didn't expect that the other party would interfere with their affairs so forcefully.

Under the impact of Levin's telekinesis, he almost stumbled to the ground.

Levin ignored Bain's protest. , he quickly stepped forward and helped Firenze up from the ground.

He saw that Firenze’s body was covered with deep horse hoof marks, and blood oozed from every place. He looked extremely miserable.

"Firenze betrayed us and degenerated into a slave to you humans."One of Bain's centaurs accused him angrily.

Levin glanced at the centaur coldly, his heart full of disdain.

He knew that the centaurs did not dare to attack him - after all, he had brought them It was a huge help - but their hostile looks still made him feel very uncomfortable.

"betray? Just because Firenze plans to become a professor at Hogwarts? Levin asked the group of stubborn centaurs in front of him dissatisfiedly,"Can't you understand his choice?" He made such a decision for the sake of peace and understanding between the two races!"

"Sorry Mr. Levine, but our customs are different from yours and our laws are different from yours."

Among the onlookers, Chief Margery took the initiative to step forward and explain. His tone was full of helplessness, but also carried the stubbornness unique to the centaurs,"Fierenze's behavior has violated our bottom line. We have to deal with this our way"

"All I saw was one murder. Levin sneered, with a dangerous light flashing in his eyes,"If this is your custom and law, then I can only say that such customs and laws are simply ridiculous and barbaric!"".
