Natural Magic at Hogwarts

Chapter 285 The New Dean
"Cuckoo!" At this time, a group of owls flew in from the windows on both sides and threw all the items to the little wizard in a panic.

An owl fluttered across the teachers' bench, almost hitting Umbridge who was standing in front of Bree.

"Oh, these damn things!" Umbridge ducked comically, avoiding the owl, and almost fell to the ground.

"Hahaha!"

The little wizard below laughed out loud, and at the same time someone exclaimed: "The Order of Merlin, Oude's Order of Merlin has been withheld!"

"What? Didn't I remember that I started applying since last semester? Why do you think it was withheld?"

There is a dynamic photo in the Daily Prophet - Tom is telling reporters something with a stern face, and Lucius Malfoy is standing next to him.

The picture below explains everything - it is reported that the O'Dea family, Tom O'Dea, was interviewed by reporters and disclosed the scandal of the Ministry of Magic. The Ministry of Magic intends to withhold the Order of Merlin First Class belonging to Mr. Bree O'Dea...

Another page is an interview with Malfoy——

It is reported that Mr. Lucius Malfoy will serve as Director of the Department of International Wizarding Affairs of the Ministry of Magic. His position was elected by many wizards who were represented by Dumbledore... There are rumors that the Minister of Magic is extremely opposed to it.

……

Bree didn't buy the Daily Prophet, but Draco would buy an extra copy.

"Here you go." Draco placed the newspaper on Bree's table, then glanced at the embarrassed Umbridge and returned to the Slytherin table.

For a small role like Umbridge, Draco is not worried that Bree will suffer.

Bree scanned the newspaper briefly and did not pay too much attention to these actions. The Order of Merlin was not a good thing and he did not like it.

Unfortunately, some people don't think so.

"What a great skill, Professor Odd." Umbridge also saw the report. She clenched her fists angrily and sat back on the professor's chair, her eyes rolling wildly, not knowing what she was thinking.

At this time, Mag saw that lunch was almost done, so he got up and came to the stage.

"Everyone be quiet." Mag's serious voice appeared, and the sound in the hall immediately disappeared.

McGonagall, who became the principal, was very powerful. She was originally the dean and vice-principal of Gryffindor. Some young wizards were not afraid of her, but it was different when she became the principal. She was the most powerful person in Hogwarts. Role.

"I have two things to announce now."

Principal McGonagall looked at Bree and nodded to him.

Bri knows it, it seems that the matter about the open class has been passed.

"Professor Oude communicated with us and believed that the natural magic class should..."

Principal McGonagall announced the open class, which immediately aroused jubilation among the young wizards. Everyone had seen natural magic in last year's Triwizard Tournament finals. Such a powerful power is really awe-inspiring. .

Many little wizards believe that natural magic is the most powerful magic!
Principal McGonagall smiled and nodded.

"I disagree!" Umbridge stood up.

"Buzz!" A vine suddenly shot out from Umbridge's feet, instantly binding Umbridge and pressing her back to her seat.

"You, you are attacking the Ministry of Magic senior... ugh!"

Umbridge's voice stopped suddenly, and she felt as if her neck was being stabbed by a sharp blade. She knew what would happen if she said another word.

"Don't use Ministry of Magic education orders to cause trouble. If you are not convinced, let Fudge speak."

Bree retracted the vine, and Umbridge fell weakly on the professor's chair, covered in cold sweat.

The rest of the professors ignored Umbridge as if they didn't see it.

Mag didn't stop.

"Look here, I have one more thing to do..."

"What, me!" Umbridge suddenly started, but soon became too scared to speak.

But Bree ignored her and looked at Mag in surprise.

"Old becomes the Dean of Slytherin!" Slytherin's little wizards looked at each other in disbelief and exchanged glances, but the current situation had no place for them to speak.

Some little snakes looked at Umbridge, but they were disappointed. Umbridge was frightened and now she didn't dare to get involved in matters about Bree.

"Headmaster McGonagall, I just became a professor..." Bree wanted to refuse, but Snape had already stood up.

Everyone looked at Snape. They must know that Snape is the dean of Slytherin. If he doesn't want to...

"Ahem." McGonagall coughed twice and smiled, but then said seriously again: "Professor Severus Snape will serve as the Vice Principal of Hogwarts."

"Oh!" The little wizards below wailed. The rest of the college thought that the vice-principal would have more control. The little snakes were dissatisfied because they wanted Snape to push Bree out.

Head of Slytherin, this is simply unacceptable.

Principal McGonagall glanced at the three redheads who shouted the loudest, and then said: "Because the position of dean of Gryffindor is vacant, the position of dean is temporarily held by Professor Snape until a suitable professor is found. Handover later.”

"Ah, no, Principal!"

The young wizards in the other colleges were stunned, and even the professors were also stunned.

Bree pursed his lips. He thought he might be able to accept the position of head of Slytherin. After all, Snape was going to Gryffindor... Poof!

Forgive Bree, he just couldn't help it.

Snape glanced at Bree who lowered her head and laughed, then he also suppressed his lips and stepped forward.

Mag didn't care about the little lion's howling, she couldn't control it anymore.

She has to teach classes, deal with things at Hogwarts, and be responsible for training Bree to become the principal. She has too many things on her plate.

Oh, and now we have to add Umbridge, this woman is so naive that she used the Ministry of Magic to suppress her.

Headache!

"I... am honored." Snape stood in front of the stage, scanning the faces of the little wizards below, from Hufflepuff to Slytherin, then Gryffindor, finally Ravenclaw, and then, again Back to Gryffindor.

Finally locked on Gryffindor, that messy head.

Those green eyes.

And that face that looks exactly like James Potter!

Snape's expression suddenly turned gloomy.

He said in a long tone: "I hope that Hogwarts will have different changes in the future, and I also hope that Gryffindor... will not cause trouble."

Snape wanted to say troll, but considering that he was now the acting head of Gryffindor and the face of Principal McGonagall, he didn't say it.

"No, I want to leave, God... Uh-huh!" Just as Ron spoke, Snape threw a spell and sewed Ron's mouth shut.

"Disrespecting the professor, Gryffindor dunks..."

Silent, Snape narrowed his eyes and said, "Forget it for the first time. I'll punish Ron Weasley by not being able to speak for a day."

Snape nodded to Mai and sat back on the professor's chair.

But McGonagall didn't let Bree come on stage at all, giving him a chance to refuse, and immediately ended the presentation of the changes.

"You can't do this, McGonagall, I am a senior official of the Ministry of Magic!" Umbridge seemed to have recovered and trotted to McGonagall. She secretly glanced at Bree, who had already stood up and was about to leave. .

She exhaled and then said to McGonagall: "I have the right to participate. You must go through the Ministry of Magic to appoint a professor!"

McGonagall looked at Umbridge, recalling the previous education orders in her mind.

"Education Order No. 20 No. [-] ensures that if the current headmaster cannot provide a candidate for a certain teaching position, the Ministry of Magic will recommend a suitable candidate."

McGonagall said to Umbridge: "I have the right to appoint anyone to any position, without going through the Ministry of Magic."

After saying that, McGonagall left the hall regardless of Umbridge's expression. She still had many things to do.

"Ah, damn it!" Umbridge puffed angrily, looking like a pink toad with her pudgy body and red skirt.

"Look, George, we have a new magical animal coming to Hogwarts." Fred said to George.

George understood immediately, and he said sinisterly.

"Perhaps we can ask Professor Newt if there is such a magical creature as the pink toad, and how to make it croak when we encounter it."

"Pfft!" Hermione laughed out loud.

But Harry and Ron couldn't laugh anymore, or even the pink toad joke couldn't reverse Gryffindor's current decline.

"Snape actually became the Head of Gryffindor." Harry was stunned and unwilling to accept it.

"Harry, I think we'll just have to accept it." Hermione patted Harry on the shoulder.

In fact, over the past few years, Hermione's sense of Snape has gradually stabilized. Under normal circumstances, she still respects Snape's potion skills. As for other things, it is difficult for Hermione to comment.

……

The first day of school ended in shock, not to mention how much Snape paid attention to Gryffindor, and not to mention that Bree never went to Slytherin once after becoming Head of House.

The outside world is quite lively.

Complaint letters were mailed to the Ministry of Magic one after another, and a large number of media interviews made Fudge, who was already having a headache because of Voldemort, miserable.

"Quickly, let Umbridge give him the Order of Merlin!"

Fudge actually wanted to use the medal to test Bree's attitude. Unfortunately, before he could test it out, he was complained by a large number of wizards who loved natural magic and fantasy games, so he had to compromise.

"Alas!" Staying in the office of the Minister of Magic, Fudge sighed deeply.

"The reputation of the Odd family is increasing. Is this a good thing for the Ministry of Magic?"

The changes in the current situation flashed through Fudge's mind.

Voldemort has been resurrected and has kidnapped the prisoners of Azkaban. He has been trying to find out who the fugitives are, in order to catch them quickly and save the Ministry of Magic from embarrassment.

However, a large number of Aurors were dispatched, and the whereabouts of the Death Eater organization could not be found at all.

"So what if we find it?" Fudge asked himself, is he Voldemort's opponent?
Of course not, Voldemort was afraid of Dumbledore.

As for Dumbledore, Grindelwald's escape from prison was not in the UK at all.

"Boom boom boom!"

After a knock on the door, the door was pushed open.

"Minister, there is new news." An Auror came in and placed the information in his hand on Fudge's desk.

"Dumbledore has been elected president of the International Association of Wizards and Dark Wizards!"

Fudge's eyes turned wildly. If he had to choose between Voldemort and Dumbledore, he would never choose Dumbledore, but it was also impossible for him to choose Voldemort.

He is ambitious and it is impossible for Voldemort to become the master of the British wizarding world.

Besides, Voldemort is related to those pure bloods...

Fudge took a deep breath. He was not an extreme pureblood, nor was he one of Godric's white wizards. He was originally a wizard from Dumbledore's camp, and was given the rights given to Dumbledore after defeating Voldemort.

But he betrayed Dumbledore.

Of course, this is what Dumbledore allowed, and it is also what the other magical forces are happy to see.

If Dumbledore gains momentum again, will Dumbledore elect a new Minister of Magic?

Fudge has a history of betrayal.

"No, we must not let Dumbledore regain his power in Britain!"

Fudge has suppressed Dumbledore's reputation for many years, and he knows exactly what to do to suppress Dumbledore without touching him.

"Go and cause trouble for Dumbledore, saying that he betrayed the British wizarding community and instead of dealing with the danger of Voldemort, he dealt with Grindelwald!" Fudge said crazily.

Plans for Dumbledore came out of his mouth one after another, and it was obvious that he was very skilled at this kind of thing.

After Fudge made arrangements, he sent someone to contact the reporter.

The Daily Prophet, a pure-blood organization, has of course changed its direction in response to the tide, and they don't want Dumbledore to gain momentum.

"I heard that Dumbledore resigned as the headmaster of Hogwarts...then add another one, saying that Dumbledore abandoned the students of Hogwarts...Also, ask Umbridge to talk to Mike To seize power, huh."

Fudge didn't even look down on Mag.

……

With Fudge's decision, the wind direction in the British wizarding world changed. There were many news slandering Dumbledore in the Daily Prophet, but there was no news about the Death Eaters that the people were concerned about.

"Oh, this is slander!" When Ron saw the report, he pointed at Fudge's compassionate look in the newspaper and said, "He should go to the stage, not stay in the political arena."

In the Hogwarts Great Hall, other young wizards were also talking about the Daily Prophet these days.

At this time, Principal McGonagall came with the other professors.

Today's dinner time is a bit special. Principal McGonagall asked all the little wizards to arrive on time.

Because today is the day that Bree was awarded the Order of Merlin, First Class.

Umbridge forced a smile on his face, and carefully handed the Medal of Merlin to Bree.

Bree put it away casually. He did not desire this thing. The real glory does not depend on a medal, but on what is actually done.

Now, because of natural magic, the Oude family is already the most prestigious family in the British wizarding world, unparalleled.

And with the spread of natural magic, Oude's name will also be heard in Europe and America.

According to Principal McGonagall, other magic academies have already submitted some applications for exchange students.

Of course, this requires Bree's help. After all, there are not many wizards in the school who know natural magic, and the exchange is still early.

After the awarding of the Order of Merlin was over, Principal Bumag took Bree to the office.

"What do you think about exchange students, Bree."

Exchange students, this is also helpful to the reputation of Hogwarts, and McGonagall also hopes that Bree will make some achievements while being the headmaster, so that when Bree is announced as the principal, she will be more convinced. Public.
