Hogwarts Card System

"What's going on?" Ted and the others asked quickly.

"I'm not sure. I only heard about it from Hagrid after Toad posted the education order. She also threatened to expel Hagrid, Trelawney and the others!"

Jerry didn't know what was going on. Why did the sky change when he woke up? He knew the news less than an hour earlier than Ted and the others.

At this moment, Ron suddenly tugged at the corner of Ted's clothes. Ted looked up and saw Umbridge, Filch and some students from the Snake House walking over arrogantly.

Umbridge was very proud today. She walked with her chin raised and an uncontrollable smile on her lips.

But what makes her uncomfortable is that she is really not tall - her figure is like a vat, thicker but not taller, with only her butt covered in waist. It's okay if you stand far away, but once you get closer, you have to look up at these students headed by Ted!

But today was a big day after all, so she tolerated her discomfort. Jie Ziyin said: "Epiphany, as well as Granger, Longbottom, and Weasley... you have been away from school for more than a week without any reason, and you must be punished!"

Umbridge felt very happy. Previously, Ted had been relying on Professor McGonagall's favor and did not take Defense Against the Dark Arts classes.

Ron, Jerry, and the others also followed the same example and were very disrespectful to themselves.

Now I can finally cause trouble for them!

When Ron heard this, he immediately stopped working, "We have asked for leave! It was Professor McGonagall who assigned us a mission!"

"Oh ~ oh oh ~ Professor McGonagall? I'm sorry, she was injured last night and is currently being treated at St. Mungo's. In order to facilitate her recovery, as the principal, I have decided to temporarily suspend her duties as vice principal. Yours Missions don’t count!”

Umbridge was so ecstatic that she couldn't hold back the joy on her face. The feeling of being transformed into a human being was so wonderful.

As the saying goes, once the power is in hand, the order will be carried out!

The principal's power is hard-won!

If I didn't show it, I would really be ashamed of myself for suffering for so long.

"Headmaster? Who accepts your fate as the headmaster?! The only headmaster is Dumbledore! He is the only headmaster!" Neville was angry. He respected Dumbledore very much.

Not to mention, Neville is also a man now. He is a little over 1.85 meters tall and has a strong body and an imposing manner. When he said these words, his expression was serious and his voice was solemn, which instantly stunned everyone around him!

Is this still Longbottom? When did he become so handsome? !

If you see each other every day, it will be difficult to recognize a person's changes. Only in a sudden moment will you realize that the person in your previous impression is no longer the same person.

Umbridge was also stunned by Neville's words, but it only lasted for two or three seconds. Just these two or three seconds made her so angry that her face turned red!

She couldn't hold back her voice, it was so sharp: "I am the principal! Principal Umbridge! The education order issued by the Ministry of Magic this morning! If you have bad eyesight, come closer and take a closer look!"

Neville's denial raised Umbridge's nerves, and she flew into a rage.

However, she still remembered that her magic level was probably no match for the students in front of her, so she had no intention of taking action.

They can only make amends with language, hoping to stand firm legally and suppress these disobedient students as the principal and officials of the Ministry of Magic.

However, after saying this, Ted smiled.

Ted's expression was gentle with a slight smile, and his tone was calm: "Ms. Umbridge, I don't mean to look down on the Ministry of Magic. But what needs to be emphasized is that Hogwarts was established more than a thousand years ago. The Ministry of Magic was only established in 1707 and has a history of less than three hundred years."

"Although we all abide by the laws of the Ministry of Magic, Hogwarts is a magic school. It does not know any laws! Only by being recognized and personally taking over the power from the previous headmaster can you become the headmaster of this magic school. Otherwise, you can become the headmaster of this magic school. I can’t enter the principal’s office at all, and naturally I can’t exercise any of the principal’s powers.”

"This is a necessary procedure and an established rule. Just like no one can be a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor for a whole year..."

"Ms. Umbridge, maybe you should communicate with Dumbledore?" Ted gave the suggestion kindly~

Ted's knowledge of this school was not much worse than Dumbledore's.

After all, Umbridge graduated from Hogwarts, so she still knows many things - what Ted said is true.

Because of this, she felt even more embarrassed and humiliated!

This hateful student actually humiliated himself in this way? !

Umbridge is very concerned about her identity as a mixed-race wizard, and is particularly sensitive to topics such as qualifications.

What she couldn't accept even more was that Ted's words were all true and she was not qualified... It was like a whip hitting her in the face!

"I was appointed as the Headmaster by the Minister of Magic, His Excellency Fudge, and I am the Headmaster! I want to expel you! Fire you bastard students!" Umbridge was already furious, and her sharp and trembling voice sounded like it was squeezed out from between her teeth. , the fat on the face is trembling.

But Ted shrugged and walked away.

"Madam, it is your right to expel me. But you need to enter the principal's office and cross my name off the admission book with the pen of acceptance. Otherwise, I will be accepted and protected by this school. No one can drive me away. I."

"This is magic. Magic doesn't understand words, but it doesn't care about any laws."

"Take me with you when you draw the name." Ron smiled playfully and quickly followed Ted's footsteps.

"And me!" Neville turned and left with a long stride.

"And me!" Hermione looked proud.

"And me!" Jerry said.

"I!"

"do not forget me."

"Take me along with you..."

It was almost time to have lunch, but in the blink of an eye, a third of the people in the auditorium were empty - all of them had followed Ted and the others!

Umbridge's face turned blue after being scolded by Ted in the school auditorium in public.

You didn't take me seriously when I wasn't the principal. Why don't you take me seriously now that I'm the principal? Isn't it true that I am the principal? !

They must be punished! Punish them hard! Otherwise, will other students still take me seriously? !

…

Just when Umbridge was saying harsh words in her heart, Ted and his friends had already arrived near Hagrid's hut.

Hagrid originally had a class today, but Umbridge suspended both him and Trelawney.

It was also the weakest thing, Umbridge would not dare to suspend Snape, otherwise she would have to die on the spot.

In other words, they bullied Hagrid and Trelawney and used them to establish their authority.

"Hagrid? Hagrid, are you there?"

Ted actually sensed that Hagrid was in the room, wiping his tears and drinking mead.

Otherwise, he is a noodle, but if he is asked to fight the Death Eater Dark Wizard, he will rush over with a roar.

But he didn't dare to say a few harsh words to Umbridge, the representative of the Ministry of Magic.

Having had his wand broken as a child, ostracized from mainstream wizarding circles, and imprisoned in Azkaban, he hated the Ministry of Magic as much as he feared it.

What a half-giant, he was tamed to look like this.

Ted had to give Hagrid some time to prepare, so as not to be seen by his friends in his embarrassment.

"Oh! Here! I'm here. Wait a minute, wait a minute!"

Hagrid couldn't care less, and quickly picked up the rag that was used to clean the table and wiped it on his face, rubbed his eyes fiercely, and then went to open the door.

"Oh, Ted! Neville! Are you back? Come in, come in quickly!" Hagrid warmly greeted several people into the house.

It’s like seeing a relative!

"Oh, Hagrid, are you drinking alone?" Ron arrogantly set up stools for his friends, and then he sat down, picked up the wine bottle on the table that was bigger than everyone else's head, and poured himself a glass. Mead.

"Wow! Excellent!" Ron just took a sniff and became excited.

It seems that this guy secretly drinks a lot.

Also, none of the Weasley children follow the rules.

"Well~ I brewed it myself. There were a few swarms of bees in the Forbidden Forest. You know..." Hagrid hesitated to explain, a little afraid that his friends would find out that he was here alone because of Umbridge. Drink boring wine.

"Why are your eyes red?" Neville asked.

"Uh... the pebble got blown into the eye!" Hagrid replied seriously.

Hermione turned towards Ted, suppressing a laugh. She discovered it before she even entered the door, and Neville was stunned as to which pot he was not opening or lifting.

"Don't worry, Hagrid. Umbridge can't be arrogant for two days, and she doesn't have the right to dismiss you as professor. She's not the headmaster, and she can't be." Ted comforted him.

"Yes, I know. Dumbledore, only Dumbledore can be the principal." Hagrid nodded, feeling much better.

Ted continued to ask: "So, what happened to Professor McGonagall? How was she injured? Who did it?!"

As soon as this matter was mentioned, Hagrid became angry: "It was done by people from the Ministry of Magic! Last night, Umbridge brought a team of people from the Ministry of Magic to the school, and she had some conflict with Professor McGonagall. One day Someone attacked Professor McGonagall from behind!"

Ted and the others passed through the fireplace in Hogsmeade and went to St. Mungo's to visit Professor McGonagall.

Professor McGonagall was okay, but her face still looked a little weak. "Go back to class quickly, I'm fine... avoid that woman during this period and wait for Dumbledore to come back." Professor McGonagall instructed.

The powerful wizard is really powerful, and the weak one is really weak.

Wizards can reshape destroyed things, make plants grow rapidly, and even reverse time (time turner).

But all it takes to kill them is a dagger, a bullet, or a spell.

Without any precautions, someone hit him with a curse without mercy. Professor McGonagall had to recover from her injuries for several days before she could return to school.

This is still an ordinary curse. Many black magic spells have permanent sequelae.

On the way back, Hermione was a little confused: "What should we do? Are we going to avoid Umbridge these days?"

Ron looked uncomfortable: "I'm going to make that toad proud!"

Ted comforted his friends: "Don't worry, I'll deal with her. You just keep a low profile and ignore her. I'll go do something..."

Ted did not go back to school with his friends, and he did not feel well about Umbridge being the headmaster.

Just a clown, a funny show.

Just like what he said, he can't enter the principal's office, and he doesn't have all the permissions. How can he be a bad principal?

What Ted was more concerned about was the meaning behind Umbridge's sudden appearance.

She definitely did this under Fudge's instructions.

Ted asked Puck to pull up all recent communications between Umbridge and Fudge.

Sure enough, we saw Fudge contacting Umbridge and asking her to become the principal and take control of Hogwarts.

Fudge himself also had many abnormal operations in the magic network.

He contacted some IDs with remote coordinates and weird behavior.

However, these people were more cautious. When Fudge talked to them, they led them to meet offline.

Fudge is definitely planning something, and it's not a small plan.

Let Umbridge take control of Hogwarts? What kind of crazy batch operation is this!

Unless it was a confusing operation like in the original work, where Fudge had already broken the pot, how could it be possible?

Dumbledore isn't wanted either?

Why do you unilaterally remove someone else's principal and put your own person in the position? It's unfair and unjust. !

Fudge in this world is in a much better situation now due to the changes in the world line. He wouldn't do this for no reason.

There must be some motive to support him in doing this!

Fudge had been a little unusual before, but it seemed that he finally started to take action.

This is what Ted wants to find out.

…

Lucius: "Ted, I feel something is wrong. There is something wrong with the flow of galleons in the British wizarding community recently!"

Lucius had been pretending to be a foreign trader for the past few months. This is also one of the identities he has prepared for a long time.

As the pure-blood family's best at making money, now he is engaged in buying and selling. He has a very sensitive understanding of the economic situation.

He felt that someone had been hoarding supplies in large amounts recently, and the prices had gone up a bit, and they were all strategic supplies.

There is also a problem with the liquidity of gold galleons, as large sums of money often come in and out of the market.

On the other hand, little Barty's news was also unusual: "Fudge is wooing cronies at the Ministry of Magic, and a small group of people have become his die-hard loyalists. They gather very frequently, and it seems like there is something big going on."

"I'm trying to join in, but Fudge is also cautious. I still need some time to prove myself."

Little Barty, a young kid, is quite talented. It’s almost time to break into Fudge’s core team.

But Ted didn't have the inclination to wait, he had a more labor-saving way.

He picked the weakest wizard in Fudge's team, knocked him out and captured him alive while it was dark, and began to invade his memory.

"Sure enough, something happened! This is all about magical protection of secrets. Unfortunately, this level is not enough."

There is magic in this wizard's mind that seals the relevant secrets. But it took Ted ten minutes to crack it.

Then he saw some scenes of Fudge talking to him and their small group meeting.

After watching it, Ted was a little confused: "What is Fudge going to do?"

If it had been anyone else, Ted would have thought he was trying to overthrow the Ministry of Magic!

But Fudge is the Minister of Magic, why should he push himself down? !

It seems that although Fudge has recruited a group of people, he has not told everything.

But it doesn't matter, there are two if there is one, just choose one of Fudge's cronies.

After a few hours, Ted was getting closer and closer to the truth, and his brows were getting tighter and tighter.

Fudge is actually involved with the goblins of Gringotts?

And the fairies in the magical world are secretly preparing supplies?

What do these people want to do?

What is Fudge going to do again?

Ted followed people all the way, and when the moon was high in the sky, he dug out a secret factory from the mind of a goblin.

"Wand Factory?! Are the fairies making wands in batches?"

The wand is so important!

Most wizards in this world have almost lost their ability to cast spells without their wands. Completely surrendered.

It can be said that the wand is half the wizard's life.

In the original book, James Potter relaxed his vigilance in his home protected by the Fidelity Curse. He did not take his wand when he was attacked by Voldemort, and he died immediately.

If he had the magic wand in hand, there was still a high chance that he could buy his wife and son time to escape. Although he probably won't be able to escape Voldemort's pursuit.

As punishment for rebellion, goblins are not allowed to hold wands.

Goblins without wands have limited spellcasting abilities and only some instinctive magic, which is incomparable to wizards.

Enforcement of this ban may be more stringent than the secrecy law.

The wizard violated the secrecy law, and at most he would be fined and spend a few more months in Azkaban. But if a goblin holds a wand illegally, he might be executed!

Because they were all senior members of the Goblin Revenge Army, they would risk beheading.

So, is it the goblin who is causing trouble? What role did Fudge play in this?
