This Hogwarts is not normal

The Ministry of Magic's emergency high-level meeting in the evening was very different from previous ones.

Umbridge, who always played the role of Fudge's mouthpiece, kept her head down the whole time today and didn't even dare to breathe.

"Recently, several departments in the ministry are short-staffed. I hope you can all help share their work."

Fudge glanced at Umbridge nonchalantly, "I believe everyone already has a general understanding of the affairs of the Department of Magical Information, so I will not elaborate on them here."

He raised all the issues that Gary had raised, except for increasing benefits.

"The Department of Magical News is in urgent need of a director. Do you have any good suggestions?"

Umbridge raised her head and glanced at Fudge cautiously, then found that he was looking at her with a half-smile and quickly lowered her head again.

The Shafik family has even come to the Ministry of Magic in person to ask for proof of the whereabouts of the donations. It is simply wishful thinking for them to continue to take advantage of the Department of Magical News.

Soon, the top executives began to recommend each other or nominate themselves.

Some of them are truly committed to the development of the new department, while others are attracted by the lucrative opportunities in the new department.

Among so many people, Fudge had actually already decided who would be the director.

The reason I asked everyone if they had any good suggestions was not only to maintain an open-minded image, but also to test them.

The Department of Magical Information is an important department in the Ministry of Magic that controls public opinion. The director of the Department not only needs to have outstanding abilities, but also needs to have a serious work attitude and be able to keep his composure.

If someone were to interfere with the content of newspaper publication someday, similar incidents such as running to the Ministry of Magic to ask for proof would probably continue to happen.

Therefore, there was only one person who met the requirements in the huge Ministry of Magic.

"Bati, how is the work of the International Magic Exchange and Cooperation Department going now?"

The originally lively meeting room suddenly became quiet. When Old Barty was called, his face remained calm. "The warriors' first project will begin next month. We are working closely with the Department of Magical Games and Sports to prepare for it."

"I see..." Fudge nodded. "Bati, I intend to let you temporarily serve as the Director of the Department of Magical News. What do you think?"

Old Batty clenched his fists, his body trembled slightly, and a flash of excitement flashed in his eyes.

He groaned, "I don't have any idea. No matter which department it is, it's the same to me."

Fudge nodded again.

Old Barty's character can ensure that similar things will not happen again in the Department of Magical News. He is the only one who takes that strange article seriously. If the investigation he suggested can be carried out smoothly, perhaps things will not have become like this.

However, his overly rigid style of doing things might become another hidden danger, so he can only temporarily serve as the director of the Magic News Department.

Fudge looked around at the senior executives in the conference room, and after confirming that there was no better candidate, he slowly said, "Bati, you just need to focus on the work of the Department of Magical News. Your most important task now is to run this Triwizard Tournament well and beautifully."

Old Batty stopped his shaking hands and said, "I will."

With such an iron-faced and impartial director around, the Magical News Department will definitely not be able to make any money.

Fudge also handed over the task of setting up the audit department to old Batty, and then looked at the culprit of the whole thing with an extremely sharp look.

A confidant is a confidant, but since he made such a big mistake, he must be severely punished.

"Dolores, you seem to be very free lately?"

Umbridge didn't dare to look up and just kept nodding her head.

"That's perfect." Fudge glanced at the only empty chair in the conference room. "Battie is going to reorganize the Department of Magical News and prepare for the Triwizard Tournament. If you're free, please help look after the daily affairs of the Department of International Magical Exchange and Cooperation."

Umbridge continued to nod her head.

"And..." Fudge paused, "Ludo, I heard that there was a small problem when recording the Warriors' promotional video?"

Bagmanana nodded and said, "Mr. Minister, the main reason is that the instruction manual provided by Wayne Enterprises is too thick, and the content inside is very profound."

Fudge looked back at Umbridge, who had not dared to raise her head, and said, "Ludo, you just need to concentrate on the Triwizard Tournament with Barty.

Dolores, I believe in your abilities. You can handle the Department of Magical Games and Sports at the same time, right?"

Even if Umbridge had a hundred courage, she wouldn't dare to complain now.

"Yes, Minister, I will do my best to make—"

Fudge raised his hand to interrupt her, "Okay, just do what you have to do."

Witnessing this scene with their own eyes, the senior executives couldn't help but laugh.

The function of the Department of International Magical Exchange and Cooperation is just as its name suggests. It is a department aimed at promoting exchanges and cooperation between wizards from different countries.

Its daily work is to cooperate with the magical governments of other countries, establish trade standards, establish regulations for items, etc.

For example, the preparations for the Triwizard Tournament, or setting standards for the thickness of crucibles.

The Department of Magical Games and Sports is responsible for managing all events related to sports in the wizarding world.

For example, it hosts daily Quidditch matches, as well as events such as the Quidditch World Cup and the Triwizard Tournament.

The World Cup had just ended and she had nothing to do with the championship. It sounded good to say that she had to take care of two departments at the same time, but in fact, all the chores were left to her.

Fudge glanced around the conference room and noticed that several people were about to burst out laughing.

The anger in his heart had almost subsided, so he waved his hand and announced the adjournment of the meeting.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!

The senior executives left the meeting room one after another, and not long after, joyful laughter could be heard from the corridor outside.

Umbridge, still sitting with her head down, clutched the pink dress tightly.

Perhaps she used too much force, or perhaps her pink-painted nails were too sharp, and she tore two holes in the thick dress.

Then, her sharp nails scratched the palm and pierced deeply into the flesh.

"Ouch——" the piercing pain made her scream.

Looking at the empty conference room, she knew that she was finished this time.

Fudge did not give a specific time limit, which is a dangerous signal.

If she didn't perform well, she would probably have to stay in these two departments doing odd jobs.

Although the position of senior deputy minister was retained, there were many senior officials with this title in the ministry, not just one or two.

Umbridge raised her hands tremblingly and stared at the blood flowing from her palms.

She is a graduate of Slytherin House and a particularly ambitious wizard.

Despite her mixed-blood origin and her father being just a clerk in the Department of Magical Maintenance of the Ministry of Magic, she has always claimed to be a pure-blood wizard.

In order to further perpetuate her lie that she came from a pure-blood family, she gave her father, the janitor in charge of mopping the floor, a large sum of gold Galleons to let him leave shortly after she joined the Ministry of Magic.

This decision gave her an extremely high starting point, and by getting to know a large number of powerful wizards, she eventually became Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Magic.

However, this is not the end of her ambition, her goal is to become the most powerful person in the wizarding world, that is, the Minister of Magic.

But now, she encountered an invisible and intangible wall of air.

It seemed that she could still successfully turn over and walk in, but if she was not careful she would fall off the cliff and become the "bottom of society" like her father.
