Hogwarts: I inherited my legacy
Chapter 677: Secretary Umbridge
When the little wizards finished reading the reprints in their hands, they couldn't help but turn their eyes in the direction of the professors and focus their attention there.
Their attention is focused on Dolores Umbridge, the incoming Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement at the Ministry of Magic.
At the same time, he was also looking at the "acting principal" Cornelius Fudge who was sitting in the center.
At this moment, Umbridge's expression under her veil seemed complacent, but in sharp contrast, Fudge's face was extremely ugly.
Fudge was filled with resentment.
Why? They were both losers, but Cornelius Fudge couldn't even be promoted from acting headmaster to official headmaster, while Umbridge, who used to be his subordinate, was able to be reused and appointed as the Executive Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement of the Ministry of Magic?
As the previous Minister of Magic, Fudge was well aware of the cruel reckoning that would be faced by those who failed and their supporters.
Old Barty Crouch was sent to the Department of International Magical Cooperation. Although his position remained unchanged, he had actually become a marginalized figure.
As for Fudge's confidant Rufus Scrimgeour, he had been the head of the Auror Command Office for more than ten years.
Now, let's not talk about his voluntary withdrawal.
Why on earth?
Dolores Umbridge was obviously his confidant, but she was able to get such an important position - the Department of Magical Law Enforcement in the Ministry of Magic! This is a very important department in the wizarding world.
When it comes to whether Umbridge has the corresponding ability, Fudge knows it very well.
This pink toad is best at playing tricks and playing cunning tricks. She likes to use insidious and cunning schemes.
How could someone like her be capable of being the supervisor of the Aurors?
So the question is, why did Barty Crouch Sr. promote Umbridge, a guy who had failed miserably, to such a critical position?
Wait! The words "devil's trick" suddenly appeared in Fudge's mind.
He began to recall everything that had happened recently, especially the advice Umbridge had given him.
"First, strive for the title of acting principal, and then become the real principal in a legitimate way."
It was precisely because of following Umbridge's suggestion that Cornelius Fudge fell into such an embarrassing situation today!
An astonishing possibility suddenly came to Fudge's mind. At that moment, the probability of this possibility soared from 30% to 99.9% in Fudge's mind.
Fudge could almost assert that the thought that popped into his mind at one point had become a fact—Dolores Umbridge was actually an undercover agent and a traitor!
It didn't matter when she betrayed Fudge, she had already betrayed him and was working for her old boss again.
It is for this reason that when Fudge lost everything and even his position as acting headmaster was in jeopardy, she was able to be reused and was about to return to one of the most core departments of the Ministry of Magic and take up the position of director.
Apart from this, there is no other reasonable explanation.
At this moment, Fudge just wanted to draw out his wand and cast a [Cruciatus] on the witch who betrayed him.
How dare she!? How could she be so shameless!?
Who was it that helped her when she was ostracized by everyone and promoted her to the position of Deputy Minister? Yes, it was him - Cornelius Fudge!
So, who was it that took the trouble to contact the best black magic treatment hospital in the UK for her when she suffered the backlash of the [Patronus Charm]? The answer is still him - Cornelius Fudge!
Admittedly, Fudge knew very well that he was just a cold-blooded politician, but he did not owe Umbridge anything at all, and could even say that he respected her very much.
However, he never expected that Umbridge would betray him so easily and reconcile with her old classmate and former boss.
Fudge couldn't understand.
What confused him even more was why old Barty Crouch would easily forgive the witch who had once betrayed him?
Could it be that he had turned a blind eye to Umbridge's sarcasm and suppression of old Barty Crouch over the years?
However, it is no use discussing these matters at this moment.
Umbridge has returned to the center of power, and as for Cornelius Fudge, he is still just the "acting headmaster" who is in a precarious position.
Fudge never thought of giving up the political career he had worked hard to build over the years. He still hoped that one day he would be able to make a comeback and regain his glory!
Therefore, as an experienced politician, Fudge quickly suppressed his barely perceptible anger and buried it deep in his heart.
Then he put on a slightly flattering smile and looked at Umbridge, and said in his usual calm and majestic tone,
"Congratulations, Director Umbridge! I believe that under your wise leadership, the Department of Magical Law Enforcement will be able to catch all those dangerous elements in one fell swoop and make them disappear completely!"
Umbridge's true expression hidden behind the veil is elusive.
But her arrogant voice was clearly heard by Cornelius Fudge, who was not far away from her.
"Hem-hem, I'll take your advice, Connelly."
