The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 424 Confrontation (for subscription, for collection, for tickets)
The school dinner on Valentine's Day night was very rich, even Ryan, who had eaten a lot of snacks in Hogsmeade before, ate a lot at dinner.

Unlike the middle school where Ryan attended in his previous life, Hogwarts has always held a neutral and even slightly encouraging stance on the love affairs of senior students.Because the British wizarding world is so big, most people find their future partners in schools.Not to mention that the British wizarding community has been facing an underpopulation problem, and everyone expects students to marry immediately after graduation.Then it's better to have more children.

For example, Ginny told Hermione that in the wizarding world, there is a maternity allowance for the third child, and the more children are born, the more allowances will be given.This also explains why so many children in the Weasley family can only be supported by Mr. Weasley, a low-level employee of the Ministry of Magic.Of course, the amount of this kind of subsidy will not be too much, so the Weasley family can afford to support their children, but their lives are still tight.

Because of this habit in the wizarding world, the banquet on Valentine's Day night will naturally be a bit richer than usual.It's just that unlike other festivals, this festival is not celebrated on the bright side under normal circumstances.

"Harry, what's the matter with you?" Ryan, who was eating a piece of roast beef, asked curiously when he saw Harry sitting opposite him looking a little listless.

"Ginny and Ron are training today, and Sirius is also busy. It's too boring to visit Hogsmeade alone." Harry said depressingly. "Not to mention that Hegara was talking to me about a bunch of weird things, I could see he was unhappy, and he was hiding something, but he seemed determined not to want help. Anyway, I had a terrible day today. You and Hermione today How about it?"

"It's good, and I also chatted with Lupine." Ryan said after swallowing the beef in his mouth.

"My God, I've run out of ways with you, I guess I just came out of the Three Broomsticks when you went in. Otherwise it would be nice to have a chat with Lupine." Harry looked annoyed.

In the common room after dinner, Hermione was writing her homework, while Ryan sat across from her and deduced a lot of rune formulas that looked very complicated on the parchment, and he would even pull out a metal plate Something is engraved on it.

"Hi, good evening." Suddenly the twins burst out from behind.

"It's really complicated." Fred said after glancing at the runes engraved by Ryan on the silver plate. "This is the reason why we can at most make some magic items but not alchemy products. It is estimated that only you can persist in researching such boring things."

"You must know that whether it is Dumbledore or the mysterious man, they have invested a lot in the pursuit of knowledge, and their strength comes from this. So it is not harmful to study more when you have free time." Ryan made a slight mention Question: "By the way, I saw you sitting in the stands of the Quidditch pitch today watching our academy practice. How are the newcomers?"

"Ron and Ginny aren't here?" Fred dragged a chair, looked around, and saw Harry shaking his head, he said, "That's good. Although they are our younger siblings, we still have to say that we are here." After watching the whole training session, we thought they were going to lose, without us, they were a bunch of crap."

"Don't say that," George interrupted his brother. "Ginny's not bad, even far beyond expectations. Seriously, she's already done well on her own. Ron doesn't look like our brother compared to him."

"Is it that bad?" Hermione asked, looking up from behind a pile of thick books. "He is also a brother who has been trained with you since childhood. Is it that bad?"

"Let's put it this way, if no one is looking at him, he can jump." Fred said dejectedly, "Maybe we can only win when he is alone on the court."

The twins were right. Gryffindor still lost 230-240 on the premise of catching the snitch on Saturday. It's not just the goalkeeper. All the rookies are losing the chain.It is worth congratulating that the game ended after only 22 minutes, and at the same time, Ginny finally saved a little face to make the loss not so ugly.

On Monday, the latest issue of The Quibbler came out and stormed the castle at top speed.On the cover was a photograph of Umbridge proudly issuing the order, and underneath it was written in cursive script: "Umbridge's Struggle."

"Dolores Jane Umbridge is the eldest daughter of Alford Umbridge and Ellen Crannell, and the only daughter in the family—" This article completely exposes Umbridge's old background Especially the article detailing how she persuaded her father to accept a small stipend for early retirement, ensuring that he would be quickly lost in her world.And how she claimed that your father was a prominent figure in the Wizengamot during his lifetime, and put bad luck on those who asked the truth.

In addition to some of her private discussions about how she secretly uses "their due" means against non-magical groups, Lane notes that her theories make even many Slytherin students uncomfortable.

The most important of these is clearly pointed out at the end of the article that when the Minister of Magic, Fudge, thought that Dumbledore might take his position because of the delusion of being murdered, Umbridge used including inciting Fudge's vanity and panic And a series of means made him climb to the highest level of power, and at the same time convinced him that he was one of the few people he could trust.

"Hopefully Fudge can dog-eat-dog with Umbridge, or at least distract Umbridge from focusing on school all the time," Ginny said excitedly in the common room.

"It would be great if things could develop like this, but I am really worried that this article will stimulate Umbridge to do some more extreme things in school." Hermione is not so optimistic, and the fact It was also quickly proven.

A few days later, Ryan and Hermione were writing in the library when they heard loud noises downstairs.At first they didn't pay attention, but then the voices became louder and louder.

"What happened?" Hermione raised her head. "Why did Mrs. Pince, who hardly left the library, also go downstairs? Is this something serious?"

"Let's go take a look." Ryan said, packed his things and ran downstairs with Hermione.It turned out to be just in time to see Professor Dumbledore announcing that, as headmaster, he had the power to let the sacked Trelawney continue to live at the castle.

"It's unbelievable that the cow dared to make such a big move under the circumstances." Hermione said, frowning.

"As expected." Ryan said with his hands folded on his chest, "Umbridge must show his absolute loyalty to Fudge at this time, and firing a professor on Dumbledore's side is the best way to show his position gone."

Umbridge began to question what if there was a new divination teacher?And Dumbledore said that he has found a new professor.

"Firenze." Seeing the blond-haired, blue-eyed, fawn-haired centaur walk in, Ryan and Hermione immediately waved to greet the handsome centaur.

"Looking at Umbridge, she would never have thought that Professor Dumbledore could find the Divination professor so quickly." Looking at the stunned Umbridge, Hermione smiled happily.

"Yes, the Ministry of Magic has gone too far this time." Ryan turned to Hermione and said. "Mr. Principal just hopes to unite more people when facing the mysterious man, but this does not mean that he has to give in completely. As the number one white wizard in the world, Dumbledore's counterattack this time is to hope that Fudge can stop it, You can't let the mysterious person seize the opportunity to break us down because of internal strife."

"Will it work?" Hermione asked.

"Professor Dumbledore thinks it's useful." Ryan put down his hands on his chest and spread out. "But I think that Fudge, who has been completely obsessed with power, may not understand our principal's good intentions, and will even do worse things."
