At night, Umbridge was still working hard in his office.

It was not until she became the headmaster of Hogwarts that she realized that the headmaster was so busy and difficult.

Annual enrollment statistics, budgets for various courses, renovation and maintenance of the campus, replacement of faculty and staff...

All these disastrous jobs require her to make decisions alone.

If it's just that, then forget it.

No matter how much she said, Umbridge was an official from the Ministry of Magic from the Magic Law Enforcement Department, and dealing with some official documents was a piece of cake.

The key is that a large number of professors under her hand, represented by Minerva McGonagall, resisted her from the bottom of her heart.

The direct result of this is that these professors have adopted the classic ‘office fighting method’—passive sabotage.

Professor McGonagall began to refuse to perform any additional tasks after completing their teaching tasks.

A naughty student released a big dung bomb in the classroom, causing the whole floor to be smelly?

It's very simple, just a whirlwind sweep from any professor can solve it.

But they just don't want to deal with it.

This is no longer within their responsibilities, let Umbridge handle it.

The desk in the classroom is broken?

Although it can be repaired with a repairing spell, let's leave it to Umbridge.

Who made her the principal?

...

There are too many things like this.

This directly caused Umbridge's work intensity to explode instantly!

But Umbridge couldn't expel all the rebellious professors.

After all, these people are not trash like Trelawney, they are all professors with the highest teaching level in the entire country.

If Umbridge dared to expel them, the angry parents would rush into Hogwarts the next day and knock her on the head.

Worse still, Umbridge had to find a way to enter the principal's office on the eighth floor, which was already closed.

As long as she didn't sit behind that eagle-leg table for a day, she would be a bad name as a principal.

But it is very difficult to solve this problem.

Hogwarts Castle is a whole, in a sense, it is actually alive.

This kind of existence is somewhat similar to the Sorting Hat, but the intelligence of Hogwarts Castle is obviously lower.

But this poor intelligence is enough for it to recognize its owner, that is, the principal.

Umbridge did not get the principal's position through normal channels, nor did she obtain the permission of Dumbledore, the former principal.

This led to the fact that it is not a simple monster stone statue or a riddle that is blocking her.

It's permissions!

Ever since, after focusing on the work until the second half of the night, Umbridge was considered to have completed the work of the previous day.

Standing up and stretching, Umbridge looked at the pile of documents in front of him, and sighed when he thought that there would be more work waiting for him tomorrow.

The intensity of this work is almost equal to that of the workers in the London sweatshops in the 18th century.

The only difference between the two is that Umbridge is full of hope.

Because she is not working for the students, but for herself.

Although he has left the central authority, Umbridge still maintains a high degree of attention to the Ministry of Magic.

This also made her aware of the big storm that blew inside the Ministry of Magic recently.

Judging from the current situation, Minister Fudge is probably on the verge of failing.

And the next minister, there is a high probability that Barty Crouch, who is currently in full swing.

This is really bad news for Umbridge.

After all, in order to show her courtesy to Fudge, she, as a ‘little devil’, has always made things difficult for Old Barty Crouch.

It stands to reason that if Barty Crouch the old really gains power, Fudge party members like her should be cleared out in the first place.

But Umbridge found a ray of life in it.

That is Percy.

During the brief contact yesterday, Umbridge keenly discovered that Percy, the current assistant minister, is actually a very extraordinary figure.

He seemed to have received most of Fudge's ZZ resources with the support of a mysterious pure-blooded nobleman, and formed a close match with the old Barty Crouch.

Umbridge felt that, as a former senior Fudge Party, it is of course natural to join the Percy camp now.

Although it is a bit embarrassing to work with a boy who has just graduated a few years ago, it can at least save her ZZ life.

Of course, it is not reliable to rely on the past alone.

After all, she acted a little too late, and Percy's inner circle was basically solidified, and if she wanted to squeeze in, she needed something else.

For example-Jin Jialong!

It is not too difficult for Umbridge to make money.

She is the principal of Hogwarts!

There are too many ways to embezzle public funds.

You know, Dumbledore has supported the entire Order of the Phoenix only with the post of headmaster!

More importantly, there is still a rich man like Link Foley inside Hogwarts.

Umbridge had already planned it.

Tomorrow's inauguration ceremony is the first step in her plan.

At the ceremony, while strictly punishing D.A. members, she also relaxed teaching pressure on a large scale, relieved students, and implemented happy education.

After all, Umbridge knew the Hogwarts students too well.

Most of these little kids have no self-control. They are full of fun. If it weren't for the pressure of professors, they would have no intention of learning at all.

Umbridge vowed that if he continued with such a paper order, he would definitely win the favor and support of most of the students.

Even many professors will be very happy.

Because in this way they also save effort.

Of course, such an approach will cause the quality of Hogwarts graduates to plummet.

But Umbridge didn't care.

Based on the current situation of the Ministry of Magic, the talent gap for the Ministry of Magic will be huge in the next few years.

Especially in the Auror department, their desire for recruits has almost reached a frenzied level.

At that time, no matter how poor the quality of graduates is, they will still be able to find jobs.

In other words, in the next few years, the evil consequences of her happiness education will be taken over by the Ministry of Magic.

As for what to do after the Ministry of Magic fills the talent gap a few years later.

This kind of thing is not something she should worry about.

Because by then she must have returned to the Ministry of Magic and re-engaged in politics.

And after gathering the hearts of students and professors, she would imitate Dumbledore's approach and use her super prestige to embezzle and embezzle public funds.

Not only that, she also planned to pull one step on one another, and exert a strong suppression on Link Foley and his party members.

Then squeeze Link Foley, seize the M.O.M.H.L factory, and obtain a large amount of Jin Jialong.

The reason why she is so busy today is to trouble Link Foley, which is to execute this strategy.

After getting Jin Jialong, things became much simpler.

Umbridge will use money to make a way for people in the Percy faction, including Percy himself.

Thus returning to the Ministry of Magic.

This set of procedures is down.

She has made money, she has a good reputation, and her political achievements.

After returning to the Ministry of Magic to operate, it is estimated that you can directly become the director of the Magic Law Enforcement Department!

Imagining the glorious scene of his success in a few years, Umbridge was plunged into an exciting fantasy.

When she gradually woke up, the first ray of sunlight in the spring had been shining into her office.

Umbridge stared at the bloodshot eyes and looked at the precious sunshine like gold on the tabletop, feeling extremely comfortable.

Spring is the beginning of everything!

It was also the day when she started a new journey.

And this ray of sunshine is obviously a good sign.

Today's inauguration ceremony should be quite successful!

Umbridge washed carefully, then smiled and opened the door.

The inspectors had already been on duty in front of her office. They surrounded Umbridge and walked towards the auditorium with extraordinary momentum.

During the period, they also met many early-rising students.

The inspectors naturally drove forward, but this behavior was rarely prevented by Umbridge.

Umbridge pulled away the inspectors guarding her, walked in the forefront personally, and greeted everyone with a smile.

Although these greeted people are often reluctant to respond, Umbridge is convinced that no matter what the attitude of these people is, after today's inauguration ceremony, she will become the most popular among students in the history of Hogwarts. The principal!

However, what Umbridge didn't find was.

In the shadows, many more malicious eyes are watching her!

...

"Hurry up! Ron, we're going to be late!"

In a boys' bedroom in Gryffindor, Harry urged Ron anxiously.

"Come here!" Ron grumbled sleepily while wearing his clothes, "I really don't understand why you are in such a hurry. It was the inauguration ceremony of Umbridge's principal, not ours."

Harry didn't speak. He was actually very sleepy. Yesterday's changes and the increasingly onerous studies approaching the OWL exam resulted in him not falling asleep all night.

At this moment, he was anxious.

He failed to attend the small meeting yesterday, and was sent to the infirmary by Link on the grounds that he was worried that his body might have sequelae from Veritaserum.

But from what he had heard before, Link wouldn't just give up like that.

In the face of Umbridge's oppression and bullying, they must resist.

And the time for this resistance is likely to be at the inauguration ceremony this morning!

Finally, Ron wore his school uniform slowly.

Harry grabbed his hand almost immediately and rushed out of the Gryffindor lounge.

When the two of them came to the auditorium out of breath, the inauguration ceremony had entered the countdown to the beginning.

The faculty seats were already full of professors from various disciplines, and the four long tables in the audience were also full of students.

The most exaggerated thing is that they also saw Percy and another wizard who seemed quite familiar to Harry in the corner of the faculty seat.

Both of these two men's robes are embroidered with a large W with silver thread, which obviously shows that they represent the Ministry of Magic.

Harry and Ron apologized as they squeezed through the crowd and came to the place Hermione had reserved for them.

But from beginning to end, their sights were all attracted by the decorations in the auditorium.

They were surprised to find that in just one night, the entire auditorium was decorated in the same matte style as the Umbridge office.

The walls of large tracts were painted pink, countless colored ribbons and flags were flying in the air, the portraits on the walls were all replaced with cat pictures, dozens of cute cats of different colors were between the portraits and the portraits. Keep chasing.

In contrast, Umbridge, who sits at the top of the faculty seat, changed his usual dressing style today and only wore a solemn, neutral black wizard robe.

But Umbridge is obviously just a stopgap measure, and her aesthetics have not changed at all.

This can be seen from a pink cat button on the lining of her neckline.

"These decorations are really terrible!" Ron whispered, "I feel like I'm going to vomit with nausea!"

"Shhh! ~Stop talking like that!"

Just after Ron’s voice, Hermione at the side lowered her voice and pointed to the inspectors who were standing not far away and patrolling around. They warned, “A lot of people have been deducted points for complaining about the decoration of the auditorium before. Now, you'd better be honest, Gryffindor’s gemstone hourglass is about to bottom out!"

"It's already this time, who cares about the academy points!"

Ron retorted stiffly, but he didn't mention the decorative style very carefully.

While Ron was being trained daily, Harry was anxiously looking for Link and others, as well as George and Fred in the crowd.

It wasn't until he found them all in the overcrowded auditorium that Harry breathed a sigh of relief and felt a heart return from his throat to his chest.

However, his relaxed mood only lasted for a short while before he became melancholy again.

Harry's heart was actually very contradictory.

On the one hand, he was very worried that Link, George, and Fred would rashly confront Umbridge and cause serious irreparable consequences such as being expelled.

But on the other hand, he really expected Link and the others to do something ~lightnovelpub.net~ to completely oust Umbridge from the position of principal.

This can be regarded as revenge for Dumbledore.

At that time, Dumbledore should be able to return to Hogwarts, right?

With this mixed emotion in mind, Harry turned his head and looked at the high podium.

The golden bell there has rang three times in a row, which indicates that Umbridge’s inauguration ceremony has officially begun.

Soon, amid the fairly loud applause of the inspectors and a small number of ordinary students, Umbridge's smiling self-faculty seat stood up, ignored the indifferent group of professors around, and slowly walked to the speech. Before the stage.

"Ahem--"

She seemed to be a little nervous, and after clearing her throat with two coughs, she pressed her magic wand against her throat, cursing loudly with her voice:

"Dear classmates, colleagues, and exceptional leaders who came to observe the ceremony, good morning! I sincerely wish you good health and become stronger day by day! This kind of good wishes is so strong and sincere, just like ..."
