Hogwarts: Harley from The Witch Way

Oh? Oh! Fudge was taken aback for a moment, and then a suddenly enlightened expression appeared on his face,

I remember. You're Umbridge from that...that department, right? I remember, I remember you looking for me.

On Umbridge's face was the little girl's surprised expression when she saw the person she admired the most:

Ah, what a honour! Minister, you still remember me, a small clerk in the Misuse of Magic Office!

God, I will never forget this moment!

Listening to Umbridge's flattery, Fudge couldn't help nodding, a smile appearing on his face.

Although he is proficient in politics, this does not prevent him from liking to listen to others flattering him.

So what happened to my book? Fudge asked casually.

Ah, I took it upon myself to do a little more work. Umbridge smiled broadly,

I think your series of books, including From Prefect to Minister and Tips for Running for the President of the Student Council, are very well written.

Especially your My Minister's Life, I put it on the bedside day and night now, and read a paragraph every night.

So I took it upon myself to promote that series of books.

Moreover, the effect of the publicity is very good, and the sales of each book have been significantly improved.

Fudge's eyes lit up, and he nodded in satisfaction: Good job!

Who doesn't like this kind of subordinate who speaks nicely, flatters himself, and helps him make money?

Umbridge did not answer immediately, but looked at the position where Dumbledore was standing before, with an angry expression on his face:

Minister, that Dumbledore is too much! He didn't pay attention to you at all!

Obviously you are so great, under your leadership, the Ministry of Magic is thriving, and the magic world is becoming more and more peaceful.

Two years ago, Wolfsbane Potion appeared. One year ago, the Ministry of Magic solved the unjust, false and wrongful case fifty years ago, and returned Hagrid's innocence.

As a result... as a result, that Dumbledore actually ignored you!

Having said that, Umbridge panted desperately, his face flushed, and he seemed extremely angry.

The expression on Fudge's face darkened for a moment, but immediately changed back to the original.

He coughed twice and shook his head: You can't talk nonsense, Dumbledore is so great, how could he make mistakes?

But Fudge's eyes flashed a strange look.

Indeed, he had long been dissatisfied with Dumbledore.

Among other things, I am a dignified minister of the Ministry of Magic, but my influence is not as good as that of Dumbledore. What is this?

There is also the headmaster of a mere magic school in Dumbledore. His words are more effective than his own words to many Ministry of Magic staff!

The combination of these factors made Fudge even more dissatisfied with Dumbledore.

Fudge looked Umbridge up and down again out of the corner of his eye.

To be honest, Fudge is still very satisfied with this Umbridge.

She is smart, knows current affairs, understands her own thoughts, speaks nicely, and helps herself earn money.

Although Umbridge is indeed not very good looking, it seems that she has only this shortcoming.

I just don't know if what she said earlier is true.

Fudge shook his head: Don't talk nonsense if you have something. Let's go, and hurry back to work in the office of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement.

With that said, Fudge walked towards the elevator, followed closely by Umbridge.

On the way, Fudge seemed to inadvertently ask:

Director Colt is about to retire. Do you have the confidence to compete for the position of director of the Prohibition of Abuse of Magic Office?

Umbridge lowered his head and said coquettishly, Oh, I really want to compete. After all, I want to share more pressure for you.

Fudge nodded and said nothing more.

...

The investiture of the Order of Merlin, First Class, takes place at Merlin Cottage, just outside Salisbury.

Layers of magic are applied there, and it can only be accessed by magical means.

After all, the location of Merlin Cottage is a tourist attraction for Muggles, if you are not careful, it is easy to be discovered.

After landing smoothly, Harry immediately looked around.

The three of them landed outside Merlin's hut, and there were no waiting staff around.

But Professor Dumbledore didn't care, and walked towards the front hall with ease.

Come on, Harry. Professor Slughorn reminded,

Although I don't know if this Merlin hut was really built by Merlin, the design inside is very in line with Merlin's identity as a half-breed succubus, and the road is extremely complicated.

If you go alone, you will easily get lost.

Thank you, Professor, for reminding me. Harry said softly.

The vestibule is large, surrounded by a large number of rooms. Wizards from all over the world kept coming out of the room.

After all, the Order of Merlin is the highest honor in the British wizarding world.

Although Britain is no longer the sun never sets empire, as long as Dumbledore is still there, the British wizarding world will still receive the attention of wizards all over the world.

Naturally, the Order of Merlin attracts wizards from all over the world.

In the center of the vestibule stands a statue of a wizard.

The wizard was a kindly old man of thin build, wearing a white robe and holding a long, crutch-shaped wand in his hand.

At the foot of the wizard, there are countless flowers, symbolizing his nightmare blood.

Is that Merlin? Harry stopped to look at the statue.

Although the statue is an image of an old man, Harley always feels that this is a playboy, and he must have been romantic and suave back then.

Yes. Seeing Harry stop, Dumbledore also stopped in place, admiring the statue together,

Speaking of which, there is another interesting thing about Hogwarts.

According to historical records, Merlin was a famous wizard at the end of the fifth century AD, while the Big Four of Hogwarts were born in the tenth century AD.

But Slytherin has always insisted that Merlin is a wizard who graduated from Slytherin.

Although other colleges were unwilling to support this argument, they all believed that Merlin graduated from Hogwarts.

And there was always bits and pieces of evidence to be found in the Hogwarts historical records that Merlin had attended school there.

Harry blinked, looking thoughtful.

After thinking for a while, Harry suggested a possibility: Maybe it's because Merlin never died, so he came to school again as a little wizard?

After all, according to the legend, Merlin has the blood of the succubus, and lives in Avalon, where there is no concept of death in the legend.

So he can live for thousands of years, or even longer, until he gets tired of himself.

We don't know about that. Professor Dumbledore said with regret in his voice, Actually, I really want to meet the legendary great wizard Merlin.

Do you want to ask him about deeper magic?

This is just one of the reasons. Professor Dumbledore smiled and did not continue to explain.
