"...Mr. Fudge, in view of the serious aging of some Hogwarts facilities, which actually caused a Ministry of Magic staff member to be injured by a falling candlestick and fall into coma. In order to ensure the safety of students and avoid the recurrence of such incidents, we are applying for special funds of 20,000 plus Long, used to repair aging facilities..."
After reciting the application attached to the letter, Anishi picked up Lin Lu and took a big sip.
Very cool.
Dumbledore and McGonagall had strange expressions on their faces. Their mouths were pursed, but their eyes were crooked. It was unclear whether they were angry or smiling.
Especially Mag, who has been a student who has been reckless since she was a child. After two years as a professor, her temperament seems to be much calmer. She is happy about this. Who would have thought that this matter would be done today...
Forgive me, she is just a transfiguration professor and does not have the vocabulary reserve of a Chinese teacher. I really don’t know how to describe it. First update@
But if I just talk about my mood, besides being surprised, I’m also...
Very cool.
She had never thought that quarreling with the Ministry of Magic could lead to such an operation.
After calming down a little, the witch's brows and eyes were filled with smiles.
What a great, good kid.
"By the way, where is Umbridge?"
After feeling secretly happy for a while, Mag remembered the instigator.
Recently, she had vaguely touched the threshold of a great wizard, and had been in a state of semi-reclusion. Otherwise, she would not have left the troublesome matter of quarreling with the Ministry of Magic to Aini, and naturally she had no intention of paying attention to other things.
"I don't know. Umbridge woke up very early, but she refused to leave. Instead, she wanted to accuse Hogwarts of being injured. No matter how I explained, she refused to believe that the aging facilities caused all this."
Seeing Aini's serious face talking about something irrelevant, the expressions of the two elders opposite him became strange again.
believe? Unless the brain is flooded, you still have to drink sparkling water. Normal saline water has no effect.
"Umbridge said that the castle had magic power to maintain it and it would not age. She kicked the wall to prove that she was right, so I sent another letter to Minister Fudge, which contained a bill for repairing the wall."
The expressions of Dumbledore and McGonagall became more and more exciting. Has Umbridge offended Ernie before?
"Then what? How is Umbridge?"
"The wall collapsed and broke her leg. This time she wanted to believe that the facilities of Hogwarts were indeed aging, and then she ran faster than when she was not injured. I don't know where she went."
Ani's tone was slightly regretful, as if she was a little concerned about Umbridge running too fast.
He left a jerry on the chandelier, but didn't take the chance.
"Ah... isn't this a bit too much? After all, she is just following orders."
Although he had no favorable impression of Umbridge, Professor McGonagall still felt a tremor in her heart after listening to Ani's story, and felt some sympathy.
"Follow orders?"
Seeing that the teacher's position was a little wavering, Aini said haha, if you were to go through the original trajectory again, Umbridge probably wouldn't be able to get out of Hogwarts this time.
"Umbridge led the team last time when dementors attacked the train, and it was she who gave Fudge this bad idea. If you dare to touch my students, you must pay the price."
Aini's tone was calm, but the two people present were both human beings and could hear his hidden meaning - this matter is not over yet.
Mag's lips moved, but after all, she still didn't say any words of admonishment.
Putting it into perspective, if he was following the car that day and encountered Umbridge leading the dementors to attack the students, the method might have been even more violent than his.
Minerva McGonagall was never a good-tempered person.
After hearing this, Dumbledore also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Ani's method of dealing with Umbridge was indeed a bit harsh, but his starting point was for the students, so it didn't matter.
Hogwarts is not something that can be manipulated by anyone. Over the millennia, there have been many principals who were more protective than Ani, and during the tenure of these people, the British wizards were the most united.
From Dumbledore's point of view, as long as he could stand upright in the face of big rights and wrongs, he was, after all, an informal person.
After saying this, Umbridge's name never appeared in the subsequent conversation. She was just a clown and not worthy of much attention.
But there's one thing to say, don't look at Umbridge's appearance this time. (This chapter is not finished yet!)
0273 The finishing touch
It's miserable, but it's actually not a big loss. Those wounds that don't involve magical infection don't need to go to St. Mungo's. They can be solved with a bottle of magic potion.
On the contrary, when Fudge knew that she had toughened Dumbledore, he could get substantial benefits.
Why not raise a dog that can bite, has no foundation, eats little, is easy to use, and even easier to throw away and take the blame for?
Moreover, Umbridge had at least completed half of this mission. Although she could not take the opportunity to intervene in the internal affairs of Hogwarts, she at least showed Fudge's attitude and separated him from Dumbledore's shadow.
Putting aside their intrigues with the Ministry of Magic, the three of them talked about transfiguration. They were all masters of transfiguration, so it was easy to find common topics in this regard.
There is also a gap between masters and masters. Dumbledore was McGonagall's transfiguration professor when she was in school. Whether it was the overall magic level or the number of years he had been immersed in transfiguration, the old man had an absolute advantage.
From the very beginning, Minerva was the one being taught.
But Aini is different. A few years ago, it was McGonagall who helped him embark on the path of transfiguration, and now Aini has been promoted to the Grand Wizard. During the discussion, he and Dumbledore talked more, and McGonagall said less. Even sometimes the witch couldn't keep up with the other two's thoughts.
Although she understood Aini's talent and knew that sooner or later this disciple would surpass her, when that day came, the witch was still relieved and a little disappointed.
After looking at Ernie and then at Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall, who had always been loyal to his duties, secretly made up his mind.
"Albus, I would like to take some time off." q캴.o
The conversation between the two stopped abruptly, and Dumbledore blinked, as if he didn't hear the witch's request clearly.
Aini was also shocked. He had known Professor McGonagall since he was a child, and he had never heard of her asking for leave.
"I feel like I'm about to cross that barrier, and I want to find a clean place to study for a while."
The witch glanced at the two of them angrily. She had never asked for leave, but that didn't mean she wouldn't ask for leave. Was she so surprised?
After being glared at by the teacher, Aini showed a happy smile on his face.
Professor McGonagall is extremely talented and definitely has the potential to become a great wizard.
However, due to changes in life in her early years, she did not long for strength. Over the years, she spent much more time on teaching than improving herself.
Magic is not a pursuit for her, but a hobby.
Teachers can also verify what they have learned in the process, and outstanding disciples like Aini can bring her more additional benefits. Many of the other party's ideas make this transformation master feel bright. .
In addition, Aini shared part of the teaching tasks two years ago, so Mag can devote more time to hobbies, and magic progresses much faster than before.
Now he is about to break through that barrier and become the third direct line wizard of Hogwarts.
All that's missing is a finishing touch.
