The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts

"Oh?" Umbridge raised her head from her desk, looking like she was just busy with business. In fact, she hasn't received any serious tasks at all these days, and even the students at Hogwarts are busier than her.

As the Senior Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Magic, such leisure is an extremely dangerous signal, but Umbridge has nothing to do about it. Who makes her Fudge's person? She really wanted to take off the label, but someone else had put the label on it, and it was not up to her whether to take it off or not.

The minister's summons today was not a good one, Umbridge sighed inwardly. But it's also an opportunity. Umbridge braced herself and encouraged herself.

A false sweet smile appeared on her face again, "Okay, I'll be there right away."

She came out from behind her desk, moved her short legs, and entered the minister's office.

"Sit down quickly!" Looking at Umbridge with a submissive expression on her face, Bones smiled gently and asked her to sit down.

"How's work going lately? Would you like some tea?" Bones and Umbridge exchanged a few false greetings before getting to the point.

"Recently, the ministry has a very important task that requires a reliable senior official to take charge of it. I wonder if you are willing to take on this responsibility?"

Umbridge understood that although the minister used a question, it was actually a statement, and she had no room to refuse.

"Of course, as the Senior Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Magic, it is my duty to worry about the Ministry of Magic." She seemed happy to accept the task.

"Great," Bones picked up a letter of appointment that was still wet from his desk and handed it to Umbridge, "Azkaban is a strategic location in the wizarding world, but for a long time, the ministry has I have never established an effective connection with Azkaban. I think this is very wrong..."

After a few minutes of official talk, Bones finally said: "So Dolores Umbridge, the Ministry has decided that you will be the Ministry of Magic's commissioner in Azkaban! "

Umbridge's face turned pale. How could she not see the sinkhole in this job? That's Azkaban! It's like the non-magical world telling you to be stationed in Antarctica - and the environment in Azkaban is harsher than Antarctica. In Antarctica, you can just keep warm, but in Azkaban, can you just keep warm?

Umbridge's face was green and red, as if she had malaria. After more than ten seconds of making a difficult decision, she took a deep breath and said, "Okay, what time do we leave?"

Bones was a little surprised. She thought Umbridge would find a way to deny it, but she didn't expect her to agree so happily.

The reason why Umbridge didn't refuse was simple: if she refused at this juncture, Bones would have an excuse to replace her. Then all her efforts over the years would be completely in vain. And if she takes over this responsibility, there will be a turning point. She will stay in Azkaban for a while. After Bones steps down, she will naturally be transferred back to London. At that time, her seniority in Azkaban will be taken into account. , it is almost certain that he will take the next step, and he can basically take charge of a company. If the new minister and Bones don't get along, the future is brighter.

As for being stationed in Azkaban, it sounds scary, but in fact it shouldn't be particularly bad, because Umbridge represents the Ministry of Magic, and the dementors always have to give the Ministry some face.

Bones also had a rough idea of ​​Umbridge's inner thoughts, but she didn't care.

"As soon as possible, you can take office as soon as the ministry procedures are completed." She said calmly, while drinking the Muggle potion on the table in one gulp.

Umbridge's face turned livid after she walked out of Bones' office. She walked quickly back to her office, and then she mailed one letter after another.

Now that she was cornered, she could only use all her strength and connections. She sorted out what she wanted to do in her mind and found that the top priority was to find out what happened in Azkaban. Although 99% of Bones' official talk was nonsense, it also revealed a very crucial piece of information: a "talker" appeared in Azkaban and united the dementors.

Umbridge came alive inside. This might be her chance.

No sleep tonight.

There are many things that you won’t notice if you don’t care about them or if you haven’t personally experienced them. For example, the annual employment consultation, for example, the annual school recruitment for graduates. Students who are not in fifth or seventh grade will hardly notice these things happening.

Notices are posted everywhere, and various brochures are filled in every corner of the common room, but most young wizards turn a blind eye to them.

Because it really has nothing to do with them.

Employment? That's something that only starts to be considered in the fifth grade. Recruitment after graduation is even further away. Why worry about it so long in advance?

What is the growth process of a wizard?

First, at the age of eleven, you receive the admission notice, go to Hogwarts, and are assigned to the college of your choice. In the third grade, you start taking elective courses. In the fifth grade, you have career counseling before the O.W.L.s exam. Students will know all walks of life in the wizarding world. The work content of various jobs in various industries, and then have in-depth discussions with your dean to finally determine which type or types of work you want to do.

This part makes people feel sorry for the little wizards of Slytherin. Just think about it, Professor Snape is giving you career advice. Just thinking about it is creepy enough, isn't it?

But there are enough pure-blood wizards in Slytherin, and their parents will give pertinent advice. There is no sunset industry in the magical world - the entire magical world is a world under the sunset - the experience of parents is very valuable. Unlike the non-magical world, there are not a few parents who have participated in research and deduced, and finally sent their children into the sinkhole. Use the highest score and take the most difficult major. This kind of thing will not happen to wizards.

After the employment consultation, it’s time to take the O.W.L.s exam. After taking this exam, a little wizard’s life trajectory will be roughly determined. After receiving their O.W.L.s certificates, the little wizards continue their studies, and the last step is school recruitment and N.E.W.T. exams.

After these processes are completed, it is time for the wizard to fully enter society. This is the whole process of a wizard entering the magical world.

Among everyone's acquaintances, Percy is a wizard who is about to enter the magical world, and he is preparing for an interview.

In the second semester of seventh grade, that is, after Christmas, the Ministry of Magic will organize an interview. This is very important for him. He needs to submit his resume and talk to representatives from various departments to understand the requirements for this position. certificate.

Yesterday was a day that went down in history! ! ! The neighborhood committee of our community finally distributed the supplies, and things are getting better! ! !

In fact, after seeing the materials distributed yesterday morning, my heart dropped. Because it was all vegetables (cabbage, celery, potatoes, beef heart and carrots), I felt sad for a long time at lunch...

Fortunately, I waited until the afternoon and received a pound of bacon, a bag of noodles, and three boxes of Lianhua Qingwen capsules. Although these things have to be divided with the other two roommates, it is better than nothing.

Tomorrow I’ll make bacon and stir-fry celery! ! !

What's even better is that I found out that the canteen in the community was open in the evening, so I went straight to buy a bottle of soy sauce (there is no shortage of soy sauce now, haha), three bottles of drinks, and six boxes of ice cream. It’s the kind of three-color ice cream I ate when I was a kid. Today I ate three boxes with my roommate at once, hehehe~

These things are also affordable to buy, which is amazing! It only cost 40 yuan!
