Of course Fudge would not withdraw Umbridge, and in the letter he apologized to Hermione very sincerely.

Only he himself knows how many things he smashed in the office.

However, Fudge sent a Howler letter to Umbridge. Although Umbridge cast a soundproofing spell, it was said that the entire Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom was shaking.

Afterwards, Umbridge saw that they were all walking around, but she couldn't hide the hatred in her eyes.

Hermione's reputation soared after the opening ceremony. Many people confronted the professor, but Hermione was the only one who dared to slap someone in public and nothing happened.

The twins even jokingly called her "Duke Hermione" and called Mo Bai the Duchess.

Mo Bai always agreed happily, and then was chased and beaten by the shy Hermione.

Of course, it is not enough to just be famous in Hogwarts, he wants to make Hermione's name known throughout the wizarding world.

"Hey, it would be better if Hermione could participate in the Triwizard Tournament. It wouldn't have to be so strenuous."

In the principal's office, Mo Bai was picking up candies and complaining to Dumbledore.

"It seems that you have a complete plan for Hermione's future, but there is still one question..."

Mo Bai didn't even raise his head.

"Me, right?"

"As a white leader, how can you have a black lover?"

Mo Bai raised his eyes and raised his eyebrows, "Unless this white leader personally puts his old lover in jail."

Dumbledore coughed dryly.

"Hermione would never do such a thing."

"Of course not," Mo Bai rolled his eyes, "We are not like those two who are so awkward. We always say what we think."

"But..." He nodded his chin, "My background is indeed a bit troublesome."

"What do you think if I go back to Nurmengard and make peace with the old man?"

The old man cast a smiling look from behind his crescent-shaped glasses, "You can try..."

Mo Bai was silent for a moment, "Forget it."

"It's so embarrassing for a grown man to be hit by two Cruciatus Curses again."

As if he recalled that unforgettable feeling, his whole body trembled.

After a few teasing remarks, Mo Bai lowered his head and pondered.

He seemed to have thought of something and looked up at Dumbledore.

Dumbledore was a little frightened by his gaze. "What are you thinking about?"

"I'm thinking that simply creating public opinion may not be enough for Hermione. After all, objectively speaking, she is just a fourth-year girl from the Muggle world."

"To overwhelm or even trip Fudge, she would need a decisive feat."

"Harry was called the savior when he was still an ignorant baby, but just because he 'destroyed' Voldemort, no one cared whether he was a baby or not."

"And you are called the greatest wizard of this century. I don't need to explain your most remarkable achievements."

Dumbledore's eyes darkened.

He locked his beloved in a dark castle and never allowed her to leave.

"The Final Three was originally a good opportunity, but it's no pity to miss it."

"Now there's a better opportunity."

Dumbledore frowned.

"You mean, Tom?"

"But we still don't know exactly how many Horcruxes Tom has, and the prophecy says..."

Mo Bai waved his hand.

"Don't worry, little Tom is still under the care of our savior, and this pervert is too low-level to be Hermione's stepping stone."

"Then... who else?"

Mo Bai leaned lazily in the chair, the flickering candlelight hiding half of his face in the darkness, and only the slightly raised corners of his lips could be seen.

"We all know that there was a dark wizard in history who was much more terrifying than little Tom."

Dumbledore's hands trembled.

"If Hermione could turn the tide when Hogwarts was in danger and defeat Grindelwald's heir head-on, how much reputation would she gain?"

Dumbledore stared blankly...

The atmosphere in the Gryffindor common room was a little weird at this time.

Harry was doing his homework quietly. Hermione, Ron and Neville were beside him, while on the other side there was a group of people sitting in a clear separation.

The last time such a scene occurred was when Harry was mistakenly believed to be the heir of the Chamber of Secrets in his second year.

The reason was a quarrel between Harry and Seamus.

Seamus's mother is apparently an avid reader of the Daily Prophet, and she now thinks Harry is a liar and Dumbledore is a dopey old fool.

The so-called return of the mysterious man is nonsense.

Harry had been in a bad mood recently, and hearing such remarks was like dry wood meeting fire, which ignited him immediately.

In the end, it was Ron who used his status as a prefect to control the situation and supported Harry in teaching Seamus a lesson.

This also made Harry an outcast in the eyes of his classmates.

Hermione glanced at them from the side. "Don't worry about them, Harry, they are just bewitched by Fudge."

“Smart people are always a minority.”

"Hermione's right!"

Neville responded innocently.

"These guys will never understand us smart people."

Ron crossed his arms and looked gloomy, but the look he gave Amy revealed his thoughts.

Looking at these two talented individuals, Hermione pressed her forehead speechlessly.

"Don't frown. You're not pretty when you frown."

He pressed his slightly cool fingers on her temples and rubbed them gently.

Smelling a familiar feeling, Hermione looked up and met a pair of gentle eyes.

"you are back."

"Ah."

Mo Bai sat next to her and gently placed her head on his lap.

The people around were tactful and busy with their own things.

Even the tactless Ron left in silence. He had eaten a lot in the evening and couldn't eat any more.

"You went to the principal's place?"

Hermione closed her eyes and enjoyed his massage.

"Ah."

Hermione suddenly grabbed his hand, "Are you two secretly researching something shameful again?"

Mo Bai's hand froze slightly for a moment.

"How could that be? I was just listening to some old people's nagging."

As he spoke, the veins on his forehead hidden under his black hair twitched and bulged, which was the backlash from the soul oath.

But the fingers pressing against Hermione's temples remained steady and gentle.

It’s not that he wanted to lie to Hermione. He had to tell her about this, after all, he needed her cooperation.

But it's too early now.

He just has an idea, but he still needs to think it over in detail.

After all, this concerns Hermione's career, and he must ensure that everything goes well.

"You better be."

Hermione wrinkled her nose at him.

Mo Bai smiled and changed the subject.

"What do you think about this, Harry?"

Hermione frowned instinctively, but Mo Bai gently smoothed her brows.

After rolling her eyes at him, Hermione said, "After all, it's different now than it was back then with the Chamber of Secrets. Back then it was just a groundless rumor and you just made up a few words to get rid of it; but now the Minister of Magic is behind the 'rumor' and fanning the flames."

"How about I summon Voldemort, and the rumors will be broken by themselves~"

Mo Bai teased, and Hermione retorted.

"What about the safety of all the teachers and students in the school?"

"Besides, the Dark Lord is someone you can summon and dismiss at will~"

Who knows? I could throw a few Horcruxes into the Malfoy mansion, and that noseless creature would definitely come to Hogwarts the next day.

"I have an idea!"

Hermione's eyes lit up and she jumped up.
