Drink Black Tea Calmly at Hogwarts

Chapter 250 Power from the Media

Zhang Xu, who was sitting at the dining table, was carefully reading "Shocked!" in the "Daily Prophet" Hogwarts flowers were murdered, and the murderer was her! ".

The article pointed the source directly to Professor Babling's paper in "Magic" magazine, and the photos of the bleeding wounds published in the past few days were accompanied by the victim's headshot photo and name.

Zhang Xu has roughly read Professor Babuling's paper in "Magic", and it can be said that this paper is the core of the "anti-Ukraine movement".

The thesis not only mentions the identity of the victim, but also deduces the magic used by the murderer from the injury of the victim.

Zhang Xu still can't understand the magic principle. To him, it's like a forensic doctor deduces the tool of crime from the wound, just look at the conclusion.

At the end of Professor Babling's thesis, it was judged that this black magic was improved from an ancient and vicious black magic. The person who improved this black magic must be a wizard who has deep research on black magic.

When the paper was at the end, Zhang Xu had to admire Professor Babuling's killing without blood.

The article mentioned at the end of the paper that "the one who improves this black magic must be a wizard who has a deep understanding of black magic" is Hong Guoguo's misleading ordinary wizard readers who don't usually read "Magic".

In the eyes of ordinary wizards, a "wizard who has studied black magic deeply" must be a dark wizard. But they didn't know that research scholars like Professor Babling were also a group of people who had deep research on black magic. And Umbridge used to be the latter, but she later embarked on the path of pursuing power, and none of the handful who could climb to the top in the Ministry of Magic were low-level magicians.

So when the readers of "Daily Prophet" followed Rita Skeeter's report to find the papers in "Magic", under the influence of preconceived notions, they would definitely regard the caster as a vicious dark wizard.

Rita Skeeter also tried her best in this news, such as changing concepts, taking out of context, adding oil and vinegar, seeking to refute rumors and so on.

For example, Professor Babling said in the paper that the victim's wound was as deep as the muscle, and Rita Skeeter said in the report that it may leave permanent damage on the bone.

The paper only mentioned the injuries on the victim's hands, and the report stated that only photos that would not cause indecent impact were provided.

The report also said it could not prove that the number of victims was only those mentioned in the paper.

If it weren't for Harry and the others sitting in the cafeteria, and they seemed to be able to eat and drink, Zhang Xu would have wanted to prepare joss sticks for them after reading the newspaper.

At the end of the report, Rita Skeeter just mentioned anticlimactically that the murderer was a certain female professor in Hogwarts, hoping that the Ministry of Magic could claim justice as soon as possible. The tone was like that of a wronged little daughter-in-law, making it look like she was forced not to name the murderer.

On the second page of the Daily Prophet, Rita Skeeter interviewed several family members of the victims. It can be seen that the family members of the victims were all emotionally unstable.

"Crying Without Tears, An Elderly Granny Asks the Ministry of Magic to Give Her Grandson Justice", this is a report from an interview with Granny Neville. Zhang Xu could imagine that, with the old lady Longbottom's temper, she knew that it was impossible for Neville to shed tears after being injured, and she would only scold the Ministry of Magic for a few hours in anger. It is estimated that this is the case, Rita Skeeter can only say that she is "crying without tears".

"Why the "Savior" who escaped from the mysterious man fell under the hands of the professor", this is a report from an interview with Sirius Black. Black showed his anger in the interview, and said that the cell he once spent in Azkaban was waiting for the murderer to live in.

"This is the beacon before the war begins", this time the interview is with Malfoy's mother. Mrs. Malfoy directly said that if the Ministry of Magic does not give a satisfactory result, just wait for the Malfoy family to declare war on the Umbridge family.

Three ancient wizarding families put pressure on the Ministry of Magic at the same time. It is estimated that Fudge is about to cry at this moment.

After reading the relevant reports on the "Daily Prophet", they basically asked the Ministry of Magic to give an explanation.

In the "Youth Magazine", it reported the cause and effect of why the students were hurt.

The students who were present at the time contributed articles, telling how Harry and the others were punished by Umbridge for telling the truth, and Hannah was punished for defending her boyfriend.

Ron Weasley, who was in the limelight for winning the Triwizard Tournament, also wrote an article describing how Harry and Neville's wounds were intractable, and they tried nothing in the common room. The blood on the wound stopped, and even let the blood flow more and more. It's just that Zhang Xu saw a strong Hermione style in this article.

Even what Zhang Xu said in class that day was used by Anthony to cheat the manuscript fee. Fortunately, he did not write down Zhang Xu's gesture of threatening Umbridge in the end.

In "The Quibbler", Umbridge was pointed at, and information from the front line (provided by Luna) was used to tell how Umbridge scolded students in class and how to use black magic in spite of the students' pain. to torture them.

In addition, this issue of the magazine also revealed black material about Umbridge in the past.

According to the consistent style of the magazine, Umbridge is described as the third generation of Dark Lord after Voldemort.

In normal times, the readers of "The Quibbler" would just laugh it off after reading it, and they have read the more exaggerated articles in the magazine.

But this time, the credibility of The Quibbler doubled, with the Enchanted paper, the Daily Prophet's report, and the Youth Magazine article corroborating each other.

"Magical" exposed the incident, "The Daily Prophet" made the incident public and put pressure on the Ministry of Magic, "Youth Magazine" told readers the cause and effect of the incident, and "Quieker" disclosed the details of the victim's injury.

After such a media combination, Zhang Xu could not see the possibility that Umbridge could continue to stay at Hogwarts.

"Evil will be punished." Luna, who was sitting next to Zhang Xu, said after reading the "Daily Prophet".

Then Zhang Xu gave Luna a brainstorm, and then said: "Then you can't risk yourself in order to search for evil. Are your hands ready?"

Luna pulled up the sleeve of her robe, stretched out a white arm in front of Zhang Xu, and said, "It suddenly recovered a few days ago, but last night I suddenly felt itchy."

When Luna stretched out her bloody left hand in front of Zhang Xu that day, she frightened him.

When he learned that Luna was punished by Umbridge for defending himself, Zhang Xu didn't know what to say.

Later, when Luna said that she deliberately talked back to Umbridge to expose Umbridge's crimes, Zhang Xu believed her words.

Zhang Xu was worried at first that the wound treatment was not completed, so he never released the damage transfer Gu puppet. Last night, he was afraid that Umbridge would wipe his neck if he couldn't bear the blow today, and would implicate Harry and the others, so he lifted the magic on the Gu doll this morning. He was a little worried about their situation just now. It seems that Umbridge's treatment in the hospital was very successful.

Just after chatting with Luna, the cafeteria suddenly fell silent. Zhang Xu saw Dumbledore standing up on the professor's chair, as if he was about to announce something.

...appears to be the dividing line that appears for the first time...

A few minutes ago, when Umbridge saw the title and author of the report in the "Daily Prophet", he almost fainted.

Because it was Rita Skeeter who previously published the photo of the injured and bleeding arm in the Daily Prophet.

At first Umbridge believed that Rita Skeeter did not know the details of the photographs. Because according to Rita Skeeter's style, if she knew that these wounded were from the Deputy Minister of Magic, she would definitely jump out and attack her immediately.

As a result, Rita Skeeter was only sensational for several days, and did not report the victim's personal information.

That's why Umbridge thinks that Rita Skeeter doesn't know who the people in these photos are. When she becomes a senior investigator, as long as she controls the flow of information from Hogwarts, she can get rid of this incident from the source. In the end, he just wrote a random investigation report and fooled it.

It turned out that Rita Skeeter unexpectedly revealed the matter at the same time that the Ministry of Magic appointed Umbridge as Hogwarts High Inquisitor.

Umbridge would have spent so many years of salary in the Ministry of Magic for nothing if he couldn't see whether there was a black hand behind this incident.

Although Rita Skeeter mentioned Babling's thesis in her report, Umbridge remembers that Babling took Harry and Neville away after seeing the photo in the Daily Prophet , so it can be seen that Babling knew about it later than Rita Skeeter.

Moreover, Babling is notoriously out of touch in the academic circle, so it is impossible for her to collude with Rita Skeeter.

So Umbridge ruled out the possibility that Babling was the villain.

Umbridge looked to Dumbledore, the number one suspect behind the crime, only to find that Dumbledore was frowning at a magazine.

Umbridge had many reasons to suspect that Dumbledore was behind it.

But she immediately overturned the conjecture that Dumbledore was the black hand, because she didn't think Dumbledore would cooperate with Rita Skeeter.

While Dumbledore could have given Babling instructions, it certainly wouldn't have worked so well with Rita Skeeter.

Soon, Umbridge found a faint smile on Snape's face who was also flipping through a magazine.

Umbridge was wondering why Snape, who usually had a cold face, laughed. Could it be that he was behind the scenes, and now he was happy because he had achieved his goal? But I have no grudges with him in the past, and I have no grudges in the present, so why did he entrap himself so much?

It occurred to Umbridge that Snape had been coveting his position as Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, but Dumbledore had always disagreed.

Now that school has started, if he is kicked out, whether it is Dumbledore or the Ministry of Magic, it is impossible to find another professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts temporarily, but the professor of Potions is very easy to find.

Snape and Babling have been colleagues for many years. If Snape asks Babling for a favor, and it is something that is happy for her, such as writing papers, she will generally not refuse.

Snape also often publishes papers on "Magic" and at the same time he has a very close relationship with the senior management of "Magic" magazine. It is not a big problem for an academic journal to publish a day late. It's not surprising that Nepe agreed in face.

And it's not unacceptable for Snape to know Rita Skeeter.

It now appears that Snape colluded with Babling and Rita Skeeter in order to get rid of himself and occupy this position. Umbridge discovers the truth.

At this moment, Dumbledore suddenly stood up and said to the students who had just finished breakfast: "Due to some regrettable incidents recently, Umbridge's teaching of Defense Against the Dark Arts is suspended from today. Defense Against the Dark Arts class will be taught by Professor Snape until the senior investigator sent by the Ministry of Magic investigates the matter clearly."

The students who read today's "Daily Prophet" immediately applauded, while the students who did not read the newspaper borrowed the newspaper one after another and read it.

And Umbridge glared angrily at Snape's slightly smiling face.

For the next whole day, everyone in Hogwarts laughed, including Snape, except Umbridge.

Zhang Xu also admired Umbridge for being able to be hated by the teachers and students of the school after only attending class for a week.

During the whole day, Umbridge stayed in his dormitory and did not come out.

And outside of Hogwarts, a storm has swept through London's wizarding society.

Hogwarts students learned the news in the next day's Daily Prophet.

On Monday morning, a large-scale wizarding demonstration broke out in Diagon Alley. The parade with the parents of Hogwarts students as the main body protested against the Deputy Minister of Magic, the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts designated by the Ministry of Magic, and the Dolores Umbridge, the newly appointed senior investigator of Hogwarts by the Ministry of Magic, maliciously harmed the students of Hogwarts, and asked the Ministry of Magic to severely punish Dolores Umbridge.

At the same time, all the shops in Diagon Alley, except for Gringotts, which was run by the goblin, were on strike, announcing that they would not resume business until the Ministry of Magic severely punished Umbridge. The shops in Knockturn Alley later joined the strike.

The merchants in Diagon Alley and Knockturn Alley went on strike in support of the parade, and it should have nothing to do with the rumor that the Ministry of Magic will send senior business investigators to Diagon Alley and Knockturn Alley.

Towards noon, the procession marched through the fireplaces of the shops in Diagon Alley to the Ministry of Magic and continued to demonstrate around the fountain in the Great Hall of the Ministry, demanding that Umbridge be punished severely.

The Ministry of Magic suddenly entered a state of emergency, and all the Aurors were transferred to the surroundings of the hall to carry out stability maintenance work.

It's just that many Aurors also have children who go to school at Hogwarts, and under their leadership, the Aurors enter the state of fishing.

Then the Ministry of Magic staff, who also had children studying at Hogwarts, also began to leave their jobs and join the demonstrators.

For a while, the entire Ministry of Magic entered a semi-paralyzed state.

At the same time, Fudge, the Minister of Magic who had just been baptized by countless howling letters, was blocked in the office by the representatives of several ancient wizard families such as Longbottom and Abbott, demanding an explanation from the Ministry of Magic.

The ancients said that the strong wind knows the strong grass, and the toughness knows the honest minister.

Just when Fudge was at a loss, two young men stood up.

In Fudge's office, after obtaining Fudge's acquiescence, Percy Weasley, as a friend of Neville, persuaded Neville's grandmother, who is also the leader of several families who forced the palace today, Mrs. Augusta Longbottom People, I promise that the Ministry of Magic will definitely come up with a proper solution today. Please let the ministers go to the conference room for a meeting to decide on the specific solution.

With Percy's persuasion, Fudge was finally able to leave the office.

At the same time, Percy chatted with Mrs. Longbottom in Fudge's office about his and Neville's happy life in Hogwarts before, and stabilized the gang.

At the same time, Cedric Diggory, a newly recruited employee of the Ministry of Magic who had received a message from Percy, volunteered to come to the hall and persuaded the demonstrators under the name of Assistant Minister of Magic Percy.

Cedric first won praise from the wizards present with his elegant demeanor.

The main force participating in the demonstration today were the mothers of Hogwarts students. Cedric's mistress' appearance as a killer ensured that he would not be murdered.

After Cedric relayed the promise that the Ministry of Magic would come up with a proper solution today, the demonstrators agreed to quietly wait around the fountain for the results of the Ministry of Magic’s handling without affecting the work of the Ministry of Magic. Ask Cedric if he is free someday for tea.

The most serious incident of the day occurred on the outskirts of London.

In the afternoon, Lucius Malfoy and Sirius Black met on a lawn outside London, and a quarrel ensued that escalated into a magical duel.

When the Aurors arrived, they discovered that the magic cast by the two had accidentally burned down a nearby house during the fierce battle.

After the Aurors arrived, the two said that they were just discussing in a friendly manner, and expressed regret for accidentally burning down other people's houses, how much money would it take to open a few, and it wasn't Malfoy/Black in the blink of an eye.

Zhang Xu found out after asking around the classmates that the house that was burned down was Umbridge's home.

After Zhang Xu figured it out, he complained secretly, how did these two calf-protecting guys meet together by chance. If the Aurors hadn't arrived in time, one of them might have died yesterday.

However, this is unimportant news to the students, who want to see what happens to Umbridge.

Umbridge hadn't been present at the professor's table in the dining hall this morning, rumor had it that the students on the Night Tour last night had seen some Aurors come to Hogwarts in the middle of the night and take her away.

The students immediately found what they wanted to read on the headlines on the front page of today's "Daily Prophet": Umbridge was deprived of all public office and sentenced to two years in Azkaban for intentionally hurting students. Years, and at the same time compensate each injured student 100 Galleons.

And on the dining table in the Lion Court, a row of red heads looked at the newspaper in disbelief for a while, and at the guy who was wandering around in the cafeteria to give out money to the victimized students.

Because the "Daily Prophet" also reported on the front page headlines that the Ministry of Magic passed the "Education Order No. 24" yesterday, and that Assistant Minister of Magic Percy Weasley will replace Dolores Umbridge. Hogwarts Defense Against the Dark Arts professor and Hogwarts Senior Inquisitor.
