Admiral of Hogwarts

??

"Don't worry, we want to run our store into a century-old industry. How can we dig out our own foundation at this time?" After hearing Hugo's concerns about the quality of these defensive robes, Fred shrugged helplessly. .

"But the problem is that the purchase price given by the other party is two galleons for a set. The effect that can be achieved with such a small amount of money is already the limit. According to the information we have heard, our quality is already the highest among the bidders. .”

"Is the Ministry of Magic crazy?" Hugo shook his head in confusion and asked. "We think you should know that these things are basically useless, so why do they spend money to buy a bunch of useless things."

"This is because the Ministry of Magic needs to have its own purchasing channels for Aurors and Strikers who actually face Death Eaters, and these items are only sold to ordinary employees." Fred explained immediately.

"There are many employees there who can't even use the simplest armor spell, and they won't face those dark wizards, so the protective equipment they need is enough to protect against some small evil spells."

"Yes, it's just that users have different needs." George added later. "Although the other party only purchased ten sets at the beginning, judging from the current situation, the Ministry of Magic may need hundreds of sets of this type of thing before too long."

"Okay, I think what you said makes sense." Hugo nodded seriously, because according to what the twins said, this defensive robe really meets the needs now.

"By the way, when I went to Hogsmeade today, I saw Ron and Ginny taking your place in Quidditch training. How are their current levels?" After finishing their business, several people chatted, and it was easy to say On to Quidditch. "

You're not asking for information from Ravenclaw, are you? "Fred shrugged and said, "But some things really don't need to be kept secret. I can say that the overall level of the team has dropped significantly since the substitution. "

"Don't say that." George interrupted his brother. "Ginny is not bad, even far beyond expectations. To be honest, she is already very good at reaching this level by herself. Compared with him, Ron doesn't look like our younger brother."

"Is it that bad?" Hermione asked, looking up from behind a cauldron that was smoking silver. "He is also a brother who trained with you since childhood. Is it that bad?"

"Let's put it this way, if no one is looking at him, he can pounce." Fred said dejectedly, "Maybe we can only win when he is alone on the court."

The twins' prediction was correct. In Saturday's game, the Gryffindor team still failed 230:240 despite catching the Golden Snitch. It was not just a problem with the goalkeeper, but all the newbies were dropping their chains.

What is worth celebrating is that the game ended in only 22 minutes. At the same time, Ginny finally saved a little face and made the score less ugly.

And this is also good news for Ravenclaw, because they can face Hufflepuff in the next game, instead of the Slytherin team they least want to face now.

"What's going on?" While eating on Monday morning, Hugo saw many people gathered around the bulletin board to read the content on the bulletin board.

"Umbridge's new order." Zhang Qiu spread his hands helplessly and said. “Students with radios are required to turn them in to ensure inappropriate content is not listened to.”

"This inappropriate content is the Soviet Union's previously prepared broadcast to Europe." Veneto's voice rang in the minds of Hugo and others.

"They have recently been broadcasting information about the British Ministry of Magic's suppression of Dumbledore and the return of Voldemort. For this matter, the British Ministry of Magic has lodged several protests with the Ministry of Magic in the Western Balkans."

"How do you deal with these things?" Hugo asked curiously.

"We told the British Ministry of Magic that it was an illegal signal source, and we will try our best to hunt down the other party. It just depends on luck when we can catch it." Veneto said. "We are all members of the Ministry of Magic, so some things must not be rushed."

"So when Umbridge can't get rid of this signal source now, she might as well choose to get rid of the radios used for reception to ensure safety." Hugo shook his head helplessly. In his opinion, this was definitely a What an idiot.

Because if you want people to do something, then the best way is to ban it, so that people will naturally become interested in these prohibited things.

To give the simplest example, in the past, not many people actually listened to this channel from the Western Balkans, because people from all over the world prefer to listen to programs from their own countries.

But since Umbridge announced that she was forbidden to listen to those news, the content of the programs that not many people listened to before suddenly spread in the school.

In addition to the content about Voldemort's return, these contents also contain a lot of information about some secret transactions between the British Minister of Magic and senior officials.

After all, if this ordinary content alone is not very attractive to everyone, gossip like this can attract more people.

Most of these messages are true, but some are speculations based on existing intelligence. These contents may not be true, but they can be used as important weapons in the propaganda war.

For example, in the show, the ship girls directly pointed out that when Fudge, the Minister of Magic, thought that Dumbledore might take his position because he was murdered, Umbridge used various methods including inciting Fudge's vanity and panic. A series of means allowed him to climb to the highest level of power, and at the same time made him believe that he was one of the few people he could trust.

In the next step, Umbridge will use this trust to provoke greater conflicts and try to replace the incompetent Minister of Magic Fudge as the new Minister of Magic in the midst of chaos.

"I hope Fudge can fight with Umbridge, or at least distract Umbridge from focusing on the school all the time." For these news, Hermione hopes to bring good changes to the school.

"It's unlikely. This kind of news will at most put a thorn in the side between the two of them, and as long as Dumbledore is still sitting in the position of principal, the two of them will always work together." Hugo sighed. He said with a breath.

"I'm worried that these news may have the opposite effect. You know Umbridge is not the kind of reasonable guy, so I'm worried that he may take this opportunity to launch another attack on the school."

Many times, things tend to take a turn for the worst. For example, Hugo's guess about Umbridge's next action was very accurate.

A few days later, Hugo and Hermione were writing in the library when they heard a noise coming from downstairs. At first they paid no attention, but then the noise grew louder.

"What happened?" Hermione raised her head, "Why did Mrs. Pince, who rarely leaves the library, also come downstairs? Is there something big going on?"

"Let's go take a look." Hugo said, packed up his things, and then ran downstairs with Hermione and Veneto towards the place where the sound came from.
