Admiral of Hogwarts

"I understand what you mean." Hermione is a very smart girl in her own right, not to mention that her abilities have improved by more than one level after becoming a ship girl.

"In other words, those pure-blood families chose Fudge, who was the most incompetent but also the one they had the most control over, so that they could be acquitted smoothly in the subsequent trial."

"That's right, take a look at the list of verdicts from the Ministry of Magic later. Except for a few of those who were sentenced for doing things that were too arrogant and could not escape guilt, most of them were successfully released." Hugo said with a smile. .

"After that, such a weak guy who is completely controlled by pure blood can also bring a lot of benefits to the pure blood family. This is why Fudge can stay in this position for so many years."

"And now, those pure-blood families hope that the Ministry of Magic can pay less attention to the mysterious people and buy time for them to develop and grow. So it is easy to stir up Fudge's inner uneasiness and greed, and let him start fighting with the principal."

"This is a very bad thing. It means that at this important moment when the mysterious man returns, the two most critical forces in the UK that can oppose the mysterious man not only fail to join forces to resist, but are constantly consuming their strength in internal strife. "

"Fortunately, we were prepared for this matter in advance." At this point, Hermione smiled. "For everything that follows, we just need to quietly watch the situation develop."

At this moment, there was a clash of tables, chairs and benches all around. Apparently Dumbledore had announced the disbandment of all teachers and students in the school, because everyone stood up and prepared to leave the auditorium.

Since Hugo and Hermione became prefects this year, they were naturally responsible for guiding the first-year students, so they quickly came to the edge of the hall to greet everyone.

It has to be said that the sorting level of the Sorting Hat is quite accurate, especially for freshmen. For example, compared to the noisy group of Gryffindor lion cubs, the Ravenclaw freshmen seem quite quiet. few.

More importantly, Ravenclaw and Slytherin originally had relatively few freshmen, so it could be said that management was much easier than those two academies with more people.

After shouting a few times to gather the freshmen together, Hugo stood at the end of the line and watched them go upstairs. Hermione walked at the front of the team, leading the way while introducing them to some basic knowledge of the school.

The freshmen are as curious about everything in this castle as they were back then, and they ask questions about some novel things from time to time. It took them more than ten minutes before they finally managed to get them to the Ravenclaw common room.

After giving a brief introduction to Ravenclaw like the female prefect back then, Hermione got up and joined her brother, only to find that he was discussing something with a group of senior Ravenclaw students.

"A bad news." Hugo said to his sister after seeing her coming over. "Mark's grandmother has a very good relationship with the person in charge of the Wizarding Examination Authority, March Class, and then she knew that our OWLs exam would be with It’s as strict as ever.”

"That sounds normal." Hermione frowned. "You know this exam is very important, so it's normal to be stricter. Otherwise, if you don't reach the level and learn the content of the improvement class, it will not only be useless, but also harmful."

Unlike ordinary people's academic studies outside, what wizards learn is not only various theoretical knowledge, but also a lot of practical operations.

Therefore, if a wizard's talent and skills are not up to par, if he forcibly learns more advanced magic, not only will he not be able to learn it, but he will also be prone to some very serious problems, which may even cause fatal dangers.

"You are right, but the problem is that the Ministry of Magic is trying to modify this year's teaching content." Hugo shrugged helplessly, "According to the information Mark got, this year the Ministry of Magic will try to reduce the number of practical exercises in the course as much as possible. part."

"What? Are they crazy?" Hermione's eyes widened, "I remember that the exam has always been about practical spellcasting, right? If there are fewer opportunities for practical operations in the classroom, how will the exam be done?"

"More importantly, the core of magic is not the theory class, but the ability to cast spells. If you can't cast magic, it will be useless no matter how good you are in the written test."

In fact, magic is just like driving. Theoretical knowledge is indeed indispensable, but the real core is practical operation. If you don't know the actual operation, theoretical knowledge is basically useless.

"You are right, but this year the Ministry of Magic seems to think that Dumbledore is using Hogwarts to cultivate his own power, so it hopes to use this method to weaken the fantasy Dumbledore's power." Hugo shrugged shrug.

"So this year's subjects, especially the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, the Ministry of Magic will cut down on practical operations as much as possible to achieve the goal of weakening Dumbledore's power."

"They shouldn't dare." Hermione frowned at this time. "Don't forget, Hogwarts can be said to be the training base for all wizards in the UK, and manipulating this place is equivalent to weakening the future of the entire British Ministry of Magic——"

"But in fact, for those pure-blood families, this kind of weakening is very useful." Hugo smiled, "Pure-blood wizards have their own inheritance. Even if they don't learn well in school, there are ways to make up for it."

"All the knowledge learned by mixed-bloods and hemp types can only be obtained from Hogwarts. Therefore, by limiting the content of Hogwarts courses now, it can effectively weaken the ability of hemp types and some mixed-bloods for a long time to come. the power of."

"Although I don't want to admit it, what you said makes sense." Hermione frowned, "But I think this is just a conjecture. The real situation may not be known until after class."

During dinner the next morning, many students began to discuss things about last year and summer vacation. From their discussions, Hugo discovered that there were more people supporting Dumbledore than he had imagined.

Especially for many students whose family members work in the Ministry of Magic, Umbridge's reputation is not very good, especially in terms of morality. She is often criticized, and with such a moral standard, she is naturally not suitable for being a professor.

So everyone thinks that Umbridge, as Fudge's crony, was sent to Hogwarts for only one purpose at this time, and that was to compete with Dumbledore in the ring to seize power.

"Now it seems that the mysterious man's conspiracy has been successful." Hermione felt that the situation was not optimistic after listening to everyone's discussion.

"It's only been half a year since the mysterious man came back, and we've already started to fight among ourselves." Hermione said rudely, "The Sorting Hat's warning also means the same thing: stick together -"

"You are right, but this is war." Hugo also sighed.

"The interests between pure-blooded wizards who are pure-blood supremacy and ordinary wizards cannot be reconciled at all. This is a life-and-death war. It can only end when one party falls completely. Before that, there is no compromise or negotiation. possible."

"Of course I understand, because what we are facing now is a war." Hermione sighed softly and said, "I can only hope that in the coming war, those wizards and even ordinary people will suffer less. loss."
