A day at Hogwarts.

Snape feared Albert Anderson from the bottom of his heart.

Not only because Albert has the power of the mysterious man, but also because he can do whatever it takes to achieve his goals.

It's a lot like a Slytherin, if not more than a Slytherin, because that guy can always disguise himself so well that he can fool everyone with ease.

This can be seen from Albert's easy use of the Imperius Curse to control Yaxley. The guy obviously used black magic, and even the Unforgivable Curse, otherwise he would definitely not be so proficient.

This also cannot hide from Dumbledore.

However, for the dead old man, Dumbledore did not want to interfere in the world of the living, and he was only concerned with two things now.

Protect the students of Hogwarts, and whether you can defeat the mysterious man.

As for the hypocrite, Dumbledore thought he was of little danger.

At least on the surface.

But what about in practice?

It's hard to say, who knows what he will do in private.

Snape's idea was quickly confirmed, because Yaxley, who was controlled by the Imperius Curse, did not deny Umbridge's plan and directly strangled him to death in his stomach, but chose to put the pros and cons of this matter together. Tell Voldemort, and let their master make the final choice.

Voldemort was lukewarm about the matter, even a bit impatient, but he finally went through with Umbridge's plan, agreeing to use dastardly means to weaken the Defense Society.

As for the confusion that this incident might cause, Voldemort was not worried that British wizards would dare to stand up against him.

Yes, those cowards dare not.

Because someone has already done that.

Because people seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

"It's not as bad as you think. Umbridge has always been talented in some ways, and she can definitely help us solve a lot of problems."

When leaving the castle side by side with Snape, Yaxley did not forget to comfort the gloomy Snape, who did not look like he was controlled by Albert using the Imperius Curse.

"Umbridge is not as reliable as I imagined. Forget it, I will leave this matter to you." Snape did not show any emotional fluctuations, "I'll continue to prepare for the black magic exchange meeting!"

After receiving the good news brought back by Yaxley, the new minister, Pierce Thicknesse, immediately summoned his right-hand men to promulgate new laws as quickly as possible, and set up the "Whether the members of the wizard family engaged in illegal activities" Supervision and Review Committee", referred to as: Supervision Committee.

The committee consists of the experienced Deputy Minister of Magic Dolores Umbridge as the Director of the Supervisory Committee, and from that day on, it began to conduct a new review of the wizards of the British Ministry of Magic, whether anyone is doing "illegal" things .

As soon as the news of the establishment of the supervisory committee spread, it caused a lot of repercussions.

Because in everyone's limited impression, every time the Ministry of Magic introduces laws or new policies, it is always bad, and this time is obviously no exception.

Even those who didn't understand the headlines in the newspaper for a while, still understood what the Ministry of Magic wanted to do under the explanation of others.

This means that if you don't want your family to be unlucky, you must explain where you went, where you worked, and what you did.

If you are unwilling to register with the Ministry of Magic within half a month, it means that you will be considered to have violated the law, and your family will be implicated and unlucky.

I have to say that this trick really shocked many people. Even the members of the Defense Association started to discuss this matter intensely after seeing the headlines in the newspaper.

However, Albert's ideological work was done well, and everyone knew that this was the Ministry of Magic's conspiracy.

Maybe they wanted to use this to arrest them and take the opportunity to disintegrate the Defense Association.

"What should I do?"

This is undoubtedly the issue that everyone attaches great importance to. No one wants their family members to be affected by this.

"Of course I ignore it. If it doesn't work, I hide it."

"If they're really right..."

"Don't be stupid, how many people are here, how many people are hiding in the two shelters, can the Death Eaters arrest the entire British wizarding community?"

The debate didn't last long, and everyone was watching to see how the British wizarding community would react.

There are very few wizards who are willing to take the initiative to register with the Ministry of Magic. Except for the employees who work in the Ministry of Magic, everyone else is also waiting and watching, and they don't want to rush to show up.

After all, this inspection meeting is much more ruthless than the previous Muggle-Born Registration Committee.

Most wizards are extremely disgusted by this.

In the following time, because many wizards did not take this matter seriously, Umbridge, the director of the Oversight Council, could not continue his work. She brought the newly recruited thugs and began to visit those famous people from house to house. Wizarding families, to determine if anyone in their family is engaged in anything against the Ministry of Magic.

To the astonishment of everyone, Umbridge actually arrested him and published a newspaper asking his family to register with the Ministry of Magic in person, otherwise they might be fined heavily and jailed for engaging in illegal work.

"Is the Ministry of Magic crazy?"

After hearing the news, this absurd idea popped up in everyone's head. They really couldn't understand why the Ministry of Magic was so crazy, but the Ministry of Magic did just that.

"I think they want to use tough measures to attack groups that resist the mysterious people, especially the Defense Association on Albert's side."

"A lot of people are hiding and the Ministry of Magic seems to be trying to force them out."

At the meeting of the Order of the Phoenix, Kingsley mentioned the latest ridiculous policy of the Ministry of Magic, which is why they called this meeting.

"I think this should be a counterattack by the mysterious man. He intends the Ministry of Magic to make people submit to him, and use this to attack groups that resist the mysterious man."

"The Defense Association established by Albert has always been a thorn in their side, and Yaxley has tried to solve it more than once." Percy gave everyone a brief analysis of the matter based on the information he collected during his work at the Ministry of Magic. .

"Because we have been under the protection of the Fidelity Curse, the Mysterious Man and the Death Eaters have nothing to do, so they want to use their families to threaten those who try to resist the Mysterious Man to submit to obedience."

"I don't think other people will succumb." Harry shook his head. "Could it be that some people foolishly believe in the Ministry of Magic and take the initiative to go to the Ministry of Magic to throw themselves into the trap?"

"It's hard to say Harry about this kind of thing. As long as someone does that, the Ministry of Magic will be fine." Hermione reminded, "Not everyone is determined, let alone their own family members. impossible."

"Yes, the situation is almost the same as what Hermione said, there will always be people like that." Percy looked sideways at Fred and reminded, "I think you should be careful of traitors, this... "

"Albert has considered this issue from the beginning." Fred raised his hand and interrupted, "If someone in the association wants to betray everyone, we don't mind their betrayal, because we don't think anyone is stupid enough to betray We, and what benefits we can get from it, but whoever has a little brain will not be so stupid as to believe the mysterious man's nonsense."

As for the Ministry of Magic, whether it is to temporarily avoid the edge or other methods, it is time for them to make a choice.

"Should we continue to remain neutral, or join us in rebelling against the mysterious man."

Many people think that this bad idea of ​​Umbridge is a good opportunity for them, and it can definitely force more people to their side, so that they have to stand up and follow them to resist the mysterious man.

I'm afraid it will be difficult, most people seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, especially now that we are doing a good job of anti-mysterious people, most people would rather continue to wait until the end of this wizard war, rather than risking their lives to participate in this war personally.

"Because many people are not pushed to the limit, they don't have the courage to stand up, and there are many such people in the British magic circle."

Percy didn't think it would force many wizards to join the great cause against You-Know-Who.
