[HP] Magic didn't give up on you

Hogwarts' Defense Against the Dark Arts professor's office is the place where Hogwarts staff changes most frequently, bar none.The office changed at least one owner every year, sometimes more than one, and Harry hated it as much as he liked it last year.When he walked into the office and saw Umbridge's smile of feigned surprise after a slight change of color, the disgust immediately intensified, almost making him feel sick.

Come on, it's as if you really want to see me. You've been calling me a little liar all the time, and you've closed the school newspaper and banned him from the game. It's all aimed at you.Harry thought annoyedly in his heart, and couldn't help but look up at his uncle for approval.But then he was surprised to find that his uncle was also smiling, and he and Umbridge looked at each other, and the expressions on their faces looked friendly.

Eli didn't have much dealings with Umbridge, but she had always heard her name. She was as famous for her seriousness in her work as she was in her bad manners.In the past ten years, when the Order of the Phoenix and the Ministry of Magic have been in frequent exchanges, Dolores Umbridge has been promoted smoothly in the Ministry of Magic, and finally became the director of the Office for the Prohibition of Misuse of Magic.She is a clear-cut anti-Muggle faction, and has always been dissatisfied with the bilateral cooperation led by the Order of the Phoenix. She has made some radical remarks several times after drinking, and he has heard of some of them in recent years.There is no doubt that Umbridge is the last kind of official he wants to deal with. He would rather spend hours debating with a well-founded opposition than dealing with this kind of hypocritical person , which is very unpleasant.

Compared with her immediate boss, Amelia Bones, Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, Umbridge is far behind in every aspect, even the part of her job that she is most proud of. .Eli once thought that as long as Amelia was around, the Order of the Phoenix would not have to deal with officials like Umbridge, but the world changed rapidly. With the new minister Cornelia Fudge taking office, Umbridge also He became Fudge's confidant at the fastest speed, reached the sky in one step, and became the deputy minister of the Ministry of Magic. He was very proud.

Every time Eli thinks of this, he feels unbelievable.There are still politicians in this world who regard someone they cannot control as their confidant. To be honest, Umbridge's promotion speed has always been much faster than Fudge's.

No one could tell what had fooled Fudge's brain into giving such a man such extraordinary trust.This made things a lot more difficult than facing Fudge directly.

Whether it's from the perspective of bilateral cooperation, from the consideration of not making a fuss, or out of personal preference, Eli doesn't want to deal with such a person.But when something is inevitable, there is only one way to deal with it.

Get this matter resolved as soon as possible, without taking too long.

"What brought you to my office, Mr. Smith?" Umbridge greeted him with a sweet smile, almost enthusiastically, turning a blind eye to Harry who was clutching the note, as if he really didn't care. know what's going on.She warmly invited them in, served them hot tea, and asked with a pretentious smile, "Honey, Mr. Smith?"

"Don't be busy, ma'am." Eli said with a smile, "I think you know that I have an important cooperation meeting to be held today. If it weren't for a series of special announcements from you, I would already be in the conference room to host Meeting."

"Work is important." Umbridge said with a smile, and gave Harry a quick glance. "Of course, the rest can be discussed later. I think some unimportant things can be put later. Make a small sacrifice for the overall situation. If it is some small matter, Mr. Smith does not need to make a special trip, after all, people with great responsibilities always have precious time."

"Really?" Eli asked calmly, nonchalantly, "As soon as I arrived at the school today, I heard that Harry's eligibility would be re-examined. I don't know if you have heard of it, Madam. Harry Potter is actually My nephew, my wife and his mother are sisters, and he lives with us during the holidays. Of course, I think the Ministry of Magic knows, I have seen people from the Ministry of Magic in my neighborhood pretending to be my neighbors, presumably the Ministry of Magic Li understands my situation better."

Umbridge's face froze briefly, and he smiled a bit forcedly, showing a more exaggerated expression of surprise: "There is such a thing? I don't know it at all. There must be some misunderstanding..."

"I think it's better not to comment on things that I don't understand at all, ma'am." Eli asked with a faint smile, "Or you plan to be responsible for your own remarks and bear all the corresponding follow-up results? All Everyone knows who my nephew is. His parents are both fighters who participated in wizarding wars and fought against Voldemort, and he himself is called the savior. All actions against him should be taken seriously. This is related to whether there is Voldemort The remnants of your party are looking for revenge. You speak so lightly and don’t take it seriously, and it’s easy for people to suspect that you are secretly exonerating someone, ma’am.”

Umbridge shut his mouth abruptly as if he had been strangled by the neck, his face was flushed from suffocation, and his expression showed an uncontrollable ugly look.Harry moved his body. Although his uncle described him as so important, he felt very uncomfortable, but looking at Umbridge's expression, he suddenly felt that he could bear all the uncomfortable feelings.

"You're joking, Mr. Smith." Umbridge said, trying to remain calm, still smiling warmly, "Of course I'm not trying to get someone off the hook... Reviewing Mr. Potter's eligibility is not what you think It's just because Mr. Potter recently told some wonderful lies, which caused great panic in Hogwarts, so the Ministry of Magic issued some related announcements. This is also to protect the savior and prevent It is a pity that he has gone astray due to some external factors, after all, he is our savior, and it is also the responsibility of the Ministry of Magic to ensure that he is not infested with harmful thoughts."

Speaking of the Ministry of Magic, she immediately puffed up her chest, showing a smug pride.Eli looked at her, smiled faintly, then pulled out his wand suddenly and nimbly, and pointed it at her.

"Mr. Smith?!" Umbridge was startled, stood up abruptly and took a step back, his face was pale, but suddenly flushed, with some unconcealable excitement.Her eyes sparkled, her voice was soft, and the smile on her face was surprisingly sweet.

"What are you doing, Mr. Smith?" she asked, her smile widening, and she whispered softly, "You're - attacking a high-ranking Ministry of Magic official? Is this what the Order of the Phoenix means? I think you should know that people will Pay the price for your own impulse—”

Eli looked at her and smiled, too.

"Senior officials of the Ministry of Magic? No, I don't think there are any here." He said slowly. "There is only a professor who is trying to slander innocent students at Hogwarts, has no morals, and is trying to turn a school of justice into a Your own words interfere with the internal affairs of the school and bully the teachers and students in the school. Ms. Umbridge, pay attention to what you say, every word of yours may be presented as evidence in the Wizengamot wizarding court. Now tell me again, what is your motivation for damaging the reputation of Hogwarts? Your own behavior, or the order of the Ministry of Magic? Is this a signal? The Ministry of Magic signed a circular against Hogwarts Has it been legally approved?"

Under Eli's pressing questioning step by step, Umbridge's expression froze for a moment.She stared at Eli dumbfounded, apparently not expecting her lines to be robbed so thoroughly.

"This—this is a kind of slander! It's an insult!" She cried out, and finally stopped trying to be girlish, and retorted with an ugly face, "The announcement process issued by the Ministry of Magic is completely legal! Approved by the Law Enforcement Division, signed by the Minister, accepted by the Hogwarts Board of Directors—”

"You can't prove it, ma'am." Eli said lightly, and tapped on her desk in front of her, and a magic phone popped up on it—Hogwarts uniformly installed in the teacher's office. , she's been hiding it since she's here, nowhere near as easily as Eli made it appear.

Eli's first call was to the Legal Enforcement Division.

"Ms. Burns." Eli asked her, "What about the notices and decrees issued by the Ministry of Magic against Hogwarts? Are they to be discussed and decided by the Secretary? I think there are many unreasonable things in the regulations. Excuse me. How to go through the official procedure to complain?"

"The content of the notice was submitted by the deputy minister to the minister for personal review, and it has not been reviewed by the Department of Legal Enforcement." Amelia Bones replied on the phone, saying in a businesslike manner, "The notice has been reviewed by the department according to the normal process. Regarding the regulations, there will be corresponding executive staff responsible for promotion, implementation, supervision and feedback. The notice submitted by the deputy minister has nothing to do with the Law Enforcement Department, and there is no one in the department. I don’t know who I should complain to the deputy minister, maybe the wizarding court ?”

"Thank you." Eli hung up the phone, and under Umbridge's ugly face, he called the executive office of the Hogwarts Board of Trustees.

"Those circulars from the Ministry of Magic? Yes, we signed, not everyone signed, but Lucius Malfoy believes that Hogwarts should fully cooperate with the work of the Ministry of Magic, which is what the school should do ..."

"Do your best to obey the order of the authority?" Eli asked with a relaxed tone, but his words were sharp. "Is this the school-running philosophy that Hogwarts must adhere to?"

"No! Of course not!" The school manager who answered the phone immediately denied it, and said hesitantly, "It's just... most of us don't think it's necessary to stop... Is there something wrong, Mr. Smith?"

"There's something wrong with the enforcement," Eli said gravely. "If the board of directors could pay more attention to the specific operation of the school, they would know that the students are being treated unfairly. The enforcement of a new provision, if there is no matching Supervision measures will become the words of the executors, and no one wants to see this result. The school board must pay attention to this when signing the consent letter, if it fails to pay attention.”

He paused, then smiled lightly.

He smiled and said lightly: "Then let Lucius Malfoy contact me, and I will explain the reasoning to him clearly. I believe he can make the rest of you notice, so be it."

When he hung up the phone and dialed the third number, Umbridge had already slumped on the chair, looking at him with a pale face, apparently unprepared for his sudden attack, and couldn't find him for a while. The way to deal with it.

"Minister Fudge." Eli greeted the person opposite the dialed third number, and said calmly, "Go to Hogwarts in two hours, thanks to your deputy minister, some things are urgently needed You deal with it. Ms. Evans, the chief of the special liaison office of the cabinet, and I are waiting for you here, waiting for you to give a reasonable explanation for a series of things that have happened in the Muggle world recently."

"... Muggle world?" Fudge stuttered, then asked in surprise, "What happened to the Muggle world?"

"You'll know when you come," Eli said lightly. "It's the way it is, Minister. If Voldemort doesn't make a comeback—"

He paused, smiled softly, and said: "Then you can pack up and get out of the minister's position. Choose one of the two. You only have one chance. You have two hours to think about it slowly. I wish you all the best!" good luck."
