Hogwarts: I'm a model wizard

Chapter 552 The Deputy Minister’s Outrageous Proposal

Moody's leave lasted longer than anyone expected, and it was about a month before he returned to Hogwarts again.

On Friday night, while everyone was eating dinner with gusto, the door to the auditorium was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and Moody limped in with a gloomy face.

Although Moody usually has a very serious expression, which can even be said to be a bit scary, today everyone can still tell at a glance that he is in a bad mood.

The scarred face was tense, and the magic eyes in the eye sockets never stopped looking at everyone around him.

Seeing this situation, some students who originally wanted to say hello to him also gave up the idea and sat there honestly, not even daring to look at Moody.

"Kyle, guess what happened." Cedric whispered at the Hufflepuff table: "This is the first time I have seen Professor Moody so angry."

"I don't know either." Kyle shook his head, "But I guess it may have something to do with what happened in the Ministry of Magic recently."

He glanced at the Daily Prophet in his hand.

There is an eye-catching headline on the front page of the newspaper.

[Former Deputy Director of the Legal Enforcement Department of the Ministry of Magic, Dolores Jane Umbridge was transferred to the Minister's Office and served as Senior Undersecretary of the Ministry of Magic]

Unlike the few words reported on Crouch a month ago, the newly appointed Deputy Minister Umbridge was just one person, occupying the front page of the newspaper.

The above details her past achievements and various contributions to the Ministry of Magic.

Kyle didn't even read most of them, just glanced at them and ignored them, but the last one caught his attention.

It said that Umbridge believed that the power of the Aurors was too great, and that some of the most powerful spells in the past, such as the blasting curse, should be banned.

In addition, she also said that the Aurors were too disorganized before. They should all be dispatched by the minister's office like the strikers, instead of being directly led by the director of the Auror office as they are now.

Looking at the time, this is a proposal that appeared half a month ago. It was marked as pending at the end. It is obviously still under discussion and has not been passed or rejected.

This is probably why Professor Moody took so long to come back.

If so, no wonder he was so angry.

Aurors and strikers are two different departments. Aurors mainly deal with those notorious dark wizards. Their missions are more dangerous. It can even be said that every mission is dancing on the tip of a knife.

Once banned from using more powerful spells, the consequences can be imagined.

Moreover, being dispatched by the minister's office means that the Aurors must add an extra procedure every time they act, which will also greatly reduce their efficiency.

Sometimes, especially in emergencies, a second of delay may make things worse.

Although Moody has retired, he certainly cannot watch the Ministry of Magic letting Aurors die.

Fudge must have gone too far. He didn't reject such an outrageous proposal immediately.

Other countries are trying to improve the treatment of Aurors in order to attract more talents, but he wants to do the opposite.

Kyle could also guess a little bit. He probably wanted to take the Auror office into his own hands, but it was a bit too stupid to use this method.

If people from other countries see this, then...

Well, actually people in other countries have seen it.

Fleur sneered at the newspaper.

Although Kyle wasn't sure whether she was laughing because of this news, there seemed to be nothing funny in today's newspaper except for this.

And on the other side of the Slytherin table, Krum did not eat in silence as before, but chatted and laughed with other Durmstrang students in Bulgarian.

And he also had a copy of the "Daily Prophet" in his hand.

Kyle shook his head helplessly.

It seems that Sirius is right. Without Crouch, it is indeed not a good thing for the Ministry of Magic.

But he didn't need to worry about this. Dumbledore would definitely not let such a proposal pass.

Kyle glanced in the direction of the teacher's bench. Dumbledore was talking to Moody, his expression equally serious.

the next morning.

When Kyle came to the principal's office on the eighth floor as usual, he didn't see Dumbledore here... I guess he must have gone to the Ministry of Magic.

Kyle had already thought of this situation before he came, so he only waited in the principal's office for ten minutes before getting up and leaving.

It's good to take a week off occasionally, and today is still Hogsmeade week. After drinking pumpkin juice for more than a month, Kyle is going to go to Three Broomsticks and order a glass of ice-cold butterbeer.

After leaving the eighth floor, Kyle met Sirius and Harry in the foyer. Judging from their appearance, they seemed to be heading out.

"Kyle?" Sirius was a little surprised, "You don't need to learn spells from Professor Dumbledore today?"

Although most students didn't know about it, the professors knew it. Sirius even had the audacity to go to the principal's office for a class.

But he only lasted ten minutes that day, and then left without looking back.

I don’t understand, I don’t understand at all.

Those complicated magic formulas made him a big head and two. He didn't take the ancient runes course when he was in school. What little knowledge he had, he had almost forgotten it in the past twelve years. .

"What, Kyle is learning spells from Professor Dumbledore?" Harry asked in surprise when he heard this for the first time, with a bit of envy in his tone.

That was Dumbledore, the greatest wizard of this century. If he were to be the professor, he would definitely be able to learn a lot.

"That's right...well, for the Triwizard Tournament." Sirius blinked, and then whispered: "Remember not to tell others."

"No problem, I will keep it a secret." Harry put away his envy and nodded repeatedly.

He was originally thinking about telling Ron and Hermione, but since Sirius said so, let's wait a little longer.

When the secret is revealed at the beginning of the third project, their expressions will definitely be wonderful.

Harry looked at Kyle and said, "So you have learned it now? I really hope you can win the championship."

"Learn? It's still early." Kyle said: "Professor Dumbledore is not in school today. I am going to go to the Three Broomsticks for a drink. What about you..."

"It just so happens that we are also going to Hogsmeade." Sirius said with a smile, "Remus is also there. If you have nothing else to do, do you want to go with us?"

"Professor Lupin? Of course, no problem." Kyle nodded.

It's true that he hasn't seen Lupin, the former Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, for a long time.

Looking at Sirius, Kyle suddenly thought, is he taking over from Lupin... I can only say that they are good friends, and they even work the same way.

I just don’t know if Sirius will be able to retire from this position like Lupine after this school year ends.

There is a saying that in the past few years, Lupine's ending has been considered the best. Although his identity as a werewolf was exposed and he was forced to resign, he did not suffer any real harm.

This alone is enough to surpass 99% of colleagues.
