Chapter 543 News (modified, sincere thanks to leader Tengu Bailang)
And when the evening news came on, Fleur Delacour's sweet voice continued to ring through the homes of wizards with TVs. She broadcast two news items to attract the audience's attention, making the Dumbledore incident no longer seem obvious. So unique.
In addition to the playful children who have not yet reached school age, the adult wizard who was drinking tea forgot to put down the teacup he was holding, and the witch unconsciously waved her wand to make the cup and saucer automatically fly into the pool, the common room of Hogwarts. There was silence in the room, and all the little wizards were staring at the TV, watching the pictures inside.
"It takes several years to train an Animagus. Even so, it is only possible to turn a person into the animal that is most suitable for him, but the greater possibility is failure, so transformation also requires courage. Therefore, There were only eight registered Animagus in the 20th century. The most recent Animagus to register with the Ministry of Magic was Alan Harris. But today at noon, seven Animagus went to the Ministry of Magic to register. After today, the number of registered people in the world has almost doubled. And it is worth noting that six of them are currently affiliated with the Umbrella Company, and have followed the only magician in the world for a period of time. Animagus Alan Harris is active in Durmstrang, and we have reason to believe that Alan Harris has mastered a method that makes it easier to successfully transform into animagus."
Fleur raised her chin, her face showing pride that could not be concealed. This is information that the Harris family deliberately disclosed to the outside world. After Dumbledore was driven away, Allen needed to start building momentum for himself, and the Harris family also decided to gradually start from behind the scenes and move to the front.
"Next is the last piece of news tonight. The young wizards at Hogwarts will usher in a new elective course on ancient magic. The professor of this subject has created a record in the history of Hogwarts. He is the youngest professor in history, and he will continue to be a student at Hogwarts until he completes the O.W.LS and N.E.W.T exams. He is Alan Harris, who is about to return from Durmstrang as an exchange student. Although he is young Although he was young, he had served as a teaching assistant for the Defense Against the Dark Arts and Charms classes, and was widely praised by teachers and students. Most of the Hogwarts school directors recommended that he should be specially appointed as the professor of the new course, and Hogwarts Dolores Jane Umbridge, the new headmaster of Gwarts, has officially accepted this request. We look forward to this young professor injecting more vitality and vitality into Hogwarts and promoting the development of Hogwarts students. The level of magic continues to improve. According to reliable sources, Alan Harris will teach students some powerful spells and even black magic in this class to improve even the graduates under Hogwarts’ original education policy. It’s such a bad situation that even the Iron Armor Curse can’t be cast.”
As Fleur Delacour ended the news broadcast, the British wizarding community seemed to have turned on some kind of switch, and discussions started booming, whether it was Dumbledore's resistance to arrest, the appearance of seven Animagus, or the introduction of new courses. The settings have aroused widespread concern, discussion and controversy among wizards.
In the eyes of wizards, any one of these three things alone can cause an uproar in public opinion. When the three things come together, the effect achieved is even more impressive.
Public opinion is arousing. In the wizarding world, no matter where you go, you can hear wizards talking about these three topics, the debate about whether Dumbledore is the good or the evil party; about the new method of Animagus with high success rate. prying; as well as a response to Alan Harris becoming the new professor at Hogwarts and the school itself beginning to have a laissez-faire attitude towards powerful spells like Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
At this time, Fudge in the Ministry of Magic was furious, "This damn TV station didn't cut out the scene where I made a fool of myself!" After roaring, he wiped his face uncomfortably, and then got angry at Umbridge. .
Umbridge stood cautiously in front of his desk and watched silently as the minister jumped up and pointed at her nose to teach her: "Why didn't you tell me about such a big thing as Ellen Harris becoming the new subject professor in the Ministry of Magic?" Report? They actually trained so many Animagus minions behind the scenes, what do they want to do?!"
Fudge felt that the situation had not improved after driving Dumbledore away. Instead, he felt that he was out of control, a feeling of being shrouded in a huge conspiracy, and more disappearance cases that broke out after Dumbledore disappeared, which made him very anxious. Now the subordinate he had always trusted actually allowed Harris to act on his own initiative without his consent for such a big matter.
"Please forgive me, Minister. I had no choice but to agree. Otherwise, our action would have failed and become a joke, and we might even be implicated. The situation was like this. You were in the principal's office at the time, and Ai Len Harris directly used his phoenix form to appear in my office and asked me to agree to his conditions, otherwise he would take those students out. He also took out the signatures of the school directors at that time, and those pure-blood families were not allowed to Be trusted. But I don’t think Harris is doing this because he wants to take action against us. The conditions they impose are not terrible. If they really want to do something, they will really take advantage of Dumbledore without saying a word. .”
Umbridge expressed her grievances in a somewhat artificial cry, but what she didn't tell Fudge was that Allen also threatened her at the time, saying that if she didn't agree to Allen's teaching, she would use the power of the family at least. Let Fudge replace himself with someone else Fudge sent, and Umbridge knew without a second thought what Fudge would choose between full-scale war with Harris or just replacing one of his own as the Headmaster of Hogwarts.
Fudge's expression softened slightly when he heard this, and he said, "This is a bit like their style. They are really a group of greedy predators who want to get some sweetness in everything. Durmstrang is not enough. Now it seems that Harris wants to Reaching into Hogwarts."
Early the next morning, in Durmstrang's principal's office, Allen, who was sitting on the principal's sofa chair, told Karkaroff standing next to him: "It's different from the original idea. I heard that these guys It seems that you were planning to attack me when you return at the end of the term? But I don’t have time to solve the Monte family problem for the time being. I will directly use the Phoenix form to take all the exchange students back to the UK later. You can slow down your actions a little. The next one will focus on preserving our current power, and I will come back in a year or two to solve the problem."
Although Karkaroff was a little disappointed when he heard this, after seeing Allen finish speaking, he immediately bowed down and said, "As you command, my master."
However, he turned his eyes and stared at the door of the principal's office, where two giants in black fur coats were guarding. If they were still giants, their huge bodies could not enter the door of the principal's office.
"Karkaroff, you should remodel the door of your principal's office. Now it will make you, the principal, look a little too small." Allen noticed Karkaroff's gaze and teased.
Hearing this, Karkaroff looked surprised, and he tentatively asked Allen with some uncertainty: "Master, what do you mean..."
Allen nodded slightly: "Well, they are the personal guards I assigned to you. You can also assign them to complete some simple tasks, but you have to make sure that there is at least one by your side at all times, so that whether it is Monte or Chow When the Dead Apostles attack, with the help of the guards in the school, you will have enough time to use the mark to ask for help from me."
Karkaroff, who smiled so badly that he showed rotten teeth, threw himself on the ground next to Allen and tried to kiss his boots, but Allen immediately retracted his feet, "Stop doing such etiquette, Karkaroff." Husband, I am different from the mysterious man. Your position in Harris is more important than you think. My men must have enough confidence and pride, so you should be more elegant. In addition, if the wizard’s method cannot solve you If you have dental problems, I can introduce you to a Muggle dental clinic in the UK. That couple’s treatment skills are pretty good.”
"I'm very sorry, Master, I will correct this." Karkaroff climbed up with a slightly embarrassed expression, and couldn't help but secretly think about the pair of expensive leather boots that Allen just saw on the ground and his recent knowledge of the former owner Voldemort. He made a comparison of his life experience and background, "Sure enough, the behavior of a true pure-blood family is still different from that of a mixed-blood family born in an orphanage."
Allen was a little unhappy that he was still so submissive in front of him, but then he shook his head and decided to give the former Death Eater some more time to correct himself, and then half-jokingly told Karkaroff, " By the way, the giants’ wages, equipment maintenance and other matters will be borne by the family, but you have to provide them with their food rations. You don’t have to be too particular about the taste, but you must manage enough meat. It’s best not to let them drink, otherwise I will I doubt your ability to solve their drinking problem."
