Harry Potter's Bastard

"In my school days, that wasn't the case at Hogwarts. Umbridge said in a shrill voice in the Headmaster's room, "Professor Dumbledore, the state of education at Hogwarts looks worse than I expected, and the students are fighting in the common room!

"I think you're right, Dolores. Dumbledore sat behind his desk, his eyes invisible to the reflection of his glasses, "but I think everything has a cause." "

"Either way, take this vicious student brawl seriously, especially the main culprit!" Umbridge said, glaring viciously at the student standing next to Snape.

"Ah, Professor Umbridge. I couldn't agree more. Solim said in a slick tone, "But the main culprits have already received the punishment they deserve: when they get out of Madam Pomfrey, they will be locked up." I think they should have recognized their mistakes. And as one of the victims, I have forgiven them. "

Umbridge choked hard at Solim's reversal of right and wrong. If you were a victim, you would be the one lying in the school hospital!

Umbridge understood that there was no need to argue with Solim, and that the key was to put pressure on Dumbledore.

"Professor Dumbledore," Umbridge turned his gaze back to Dumbledore, "I'll report this to the Ministry of Magic, and I'll be honest about the situation at Hogwarts, but I also hope that you will show an attitude." "

"Oh?" Dumbledore slowly took off his glasses and began to carefully wipe them as if they were very important, "What do you want from Hogwarts?"

"Punishment must be set by example and show other students what is wrong and what must be forbidden!" Umbridge said righteously, "The students involved should be suspended from school and returned home until they are rehabilitated!"

The students involved?

Hearing this, Solim sneered in his heart, Umbridge was trying to drive Draco home? Solim didn't know if Voldemort had noticed that his diary was missing, but what was her purpose in sending Draco back to Malfoy Manor? Was Voldemort trying to use Draco to threaten the Malfoy family? Or was there another purpose?

While Solim was pondering, Snape spoke: "I think I'm the head of Slytherin, how to deal with them, what punishment to give them, I think it's my power and duty." "

"That's nature. Umbridge flashed her trademark smirk again, "But I think we'...... The Ministry of Magic will expect more drastic measures......"

Dolores ...... The Ministry of Magic cannot interfere with the teaching of Hogwarts. Dumbledore put his glasses back on, "Teaching at Hogwarts is led by the Headmaster and the Professors, I think you understand that. "

"Of course, of course...... But I think Hogwarts needs to make a change. Umbridge suddenly became a bit domineering, "Getting rid of the old, outdated rules will make Hogwarts better." "

"I remember your wonderful speech at the opening dinner. Dumbledore said gently, "But you are not the head of any house, let alone the head of Slytherin House, and only the headmaster, the vice-principal, and their head are qualified to intervene. "

Dumbledore's implication is that you, Umbridge, are nothing more than a Defence Against the Dark Arts professor shoehorned in by the Ministry of Magic and the Hogwarts Board, and you're not qualified to do that.

Umbridge clearly understood Dumbledore's words, and her expression stiffened slightly.

"Of course, Professor Dumbledore. I really don't have the authority to intervene in these matters 'at the moment......)," Umbridge said, "...... But I think things will change soon. "

"Have a nice evening, then. With that, Umbridge shook his head and left the principal's office.

After Umbridge left, Dumbledore turned his gaze to Solim, who was standing beside Snape.

"Can you explain?"

"Just a heads-up. Solim spread his hands, "Voldemort is back, and some people in the academy who don't know the height of the sky think they can do things unscrupulously, I'll just let them calm down." "

Dumbledore nodded, kind of accepting it. Then Dumbledore asked, "What do you think of this Lady Umbridge?"

"What do you think?" Solim glanced at the Sorting Hat that was twitching at the top of the bookshelf, and continued, "Do you want me to see her speech at the opening dinner, or where she stands, or what she plans to do at Hogwarts in the future?"

"What do you think of that sentence before she left?"

"Is it the phrase 'things will change soon?'" Solim scratched his neck with his fingers, "It's nothing more than some authorization through the Ministry of Magic, or some decree passed by the Ministry of Magic to interfere with Hogwarts in this way, it's not new at all......"

She would then create tension among the students and incite antagonism between the houses, as long as Hogwarts was torn apart. Solim said: "Anyway, she has a bunch of natural allies in our house, and there will be troubles in the future, although it will not get out of the control of the Headmaster, but it can still be done with your energy - I think this is the main purpose of Voldemort, so that the Headmaster must devote some of your energy to take care of Hogwarts." "

After listening to Solim's analysis, Dumbledore smiled and said, "Don't you really think about joining the Order of the Phoenix? "

"We'll talk about that then. Waving his hand, Solim said a classic excuse, "Since it's okay, then I'll go back and rest, and there will be classes tomorrow." "

Solim, who had reached the door, looked back at Dumbledore.

"Headmaster, what if...... I mean—if that woman surnamed Umbridge gets me in trouble, can I do something about it?"

"Oh, what kind of measures?" asked Dumbledore with interest, though he didn't think Umbridge would provoke a Selwyn without a long eye.

"Regular, measured, non-repercussive, and prudent measures. Solim said, "What's the answer?"

"Sounds good. "
