Hogwarts on the Tip of the Tongue

Chapter 960: Newspapers and Metaphors

   Chapter 939 Newspapers and Metaphors

  The teachers and students at Hogwarts could not see Umbridge in the auditorium the next morning.

  The shattered hall quietly restored to its original state at some point, and the atmosphere at the long table of the faculty and staff was harmonious and ordinary.

  It seems that all the professors have forgotten the conflict that took place at Hogwarts yesterday evening, and Professor Umbridge just happened to be ill and failed to appear in the auditorium.

  However, just like those students who were excited all night, the reporters obviously will not forget the big news yesterday.

  As the owl delivering the letter flew away from the milk jugs and toast slices of the little wizards, the students gathered in groups, hoping to search the newspaper for some content that the professors did not intend to discuss in detail.

  However, the students soon discovered that they didn’t need to “search” at all, because the covers and the first few pages of all newspapers were all “first-hand” heavy news about Umbridge, the Ministry of Magic, and Hogwarts.

  Hermione launched the "Daily Prophet", and the first thing that caught your eye was a snapshot of yesterday's battle in the hall.

  I have to admit that, as the top current newspaper in the magic world, this newspaper does have skills in graphics and headlines.

  In the pile of broken and messy rubble, Umbridge cast a spell toward the front sternly, while the old wizard, her opponent, told the students onlookers, while casually waving her magic wand to knock her away easily.

  Under the effect of the magic photo, the entire screen repeats like a GIF.

  The caption above the picture is:

   "Secret Arrest! Hogwarts = criminal? 》

  "The high officials of the Ministry of Magic were defeated by the mysterious castle administrator! 》

  "Umbridge may face indefinite suspension! 》

   "Umbridge... suspended indefinitely?"

  Hannah crossed her head and glanced, and swallowed a large piece of toast in a good mood.

   "So that we can finally get rid of those annoying and boring copy books? I knew I shouldn't write that homework on weekends."

  "Not necessarily. There is no mention of the post change in Defence Against the Dark Arts, you see..."

  Hermione shook her head, shook the newspaper and read aloud.

  "Last night, Dolores Umbridge, the senior deputy minister of the Ministry of Magic, launched a secret arrest operation.

  She determined that an official Hogwarts professor was at high risk and planned to make an emergency arrest in accordance with the relevant provisions of the "Secrecy Act."

  But when he finally left Hogwarts, he was blocked by the new castle administrator, Professor Apocalis, and the two sides subsequently had some unpleasant quarrels and pushes--"

   "The entrance hall was almost shattered by a quarter. This is called unpleasant pushing and quarreling?"

  Hannah said with a weird expression.

  "Don't interrupt, drink your milk and eat your bread!"

  Hermione said sternly, continuing to read the large report published on the front page of the Daily Prophet.

"——The act of pushing, which later turned into a magical conflict. Fortunately, the Minister of Magic Fudge and the Hogwarts principal Dumbledore were discussing matters related to teaching reform. After learning of the conflict, the two Went to the scene as soon as possible and quickly controlled the situation."

  "It is understood that Quirinas Quirrell, a professor of Muggle Studies at Hogwarts, is accused of illegal possession of high-risk Muggle products.

To this end, Dolores Umbridge dispatched five elite Aurors, including Rufus Scrimgeour, the director of the Auror Office, to arrive at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry for a forced search and secretly arrest Quirinale. Quirrell. Minister of Magic Cornelius Fudge subsequently stated that he did not know about it. "

"'Ms. Umbridge, as the Senior Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Magic, has the right to issue a ministerial order based on personal judgment. This is a legal right granted to her by the Magical Government and the Magical Society. From the aspect of process compliance, I personally think that there is no problem. "At the subsequent press conference, Minister Cornelius Fudge answered questions from reporters head-on. "In the past few decades, Ms. Umbridge has demonstrated extremely high standards. I believe her Judgment at a critical moment. But this does not mean that I think the way she chose to deal with this incident is completely correct.'"

  “Obviously, as a magic school, Hogwarts cannot fully execute the laws in accordance with the magic society.

  Forcibly arresting their teachers under the sight of underage wizards is undoubtedly a very bad behavior that lacks consideration.

  Especially when Ms. Umbridge was also a professor of Defence Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts, the problem caused by the dual status was not noticed by the Ministry of Magic before. "

  "In recent months, the cooperation between the Ministry of Magic and Hogwarts has become frequent and deep..."

  "The rapid and steady advancement of the Hogwarts New Magic Curriculum Standard (hereinafter referred to as the'New Curriculum Standard') is the consensus vision of both parties.

Just last weekend, Professor Minerva McGonagall, Vice President of Hogwarts and Professor of Transfiguration, published "Modern Transfiguration Theory". If the theory is finalized, it will replace and overthrow the magical world for centuries. A series of basic theories such as Ganpu's Law of Transformation, restart the field of transformation.

  And these are just some of the more dazzling phased achievements in the promotion of Hogwarts’ new curriculum standards. "

   "It is reported that there are still many heavy academic papers in the preparation stage for publication..."

  Hermione glanced at the content below, paused in surprise, turned her head to look at Luna who was trying to stir her mashed potatoes.

   "Luna, your dad's name is mentioned here. This is really weird for the Daily Prophet—you see."

"'Ms. Dolores Umbridge was parasitized by the reflection monster. She attracted many reflection monsters. They fought and bit each other in this poor lady's body, disrupting her normal thinking ability. "The editor-in-chief of "Singing and Singing", Xenofilius Lovegood, commented at the press conference last night, "The Ministry of Magic should remove her redundant position and help this lady get rid of the reflection monster-Reflection A monster is an invisible [unspeakable monster] that is easily attached to the souls of the powerful-school is not a suitable place for the life of the reflection monster!'"

   "This is normal. Dad said before that the editors of the "Daily Prophet" magazines are just a little slow and arrogant, but when the truth of the world is unmistakably presented before their eyes, they will make some progress."

   "The Anti Tune is the best magazine in the magic world. Quoting what the editor of the best magazine in the world has said, it's nothing to fuss about, but..."

Luna shook her head calmly, glanced at the newspaper in Hermione's hand, frowned slightly, and said in confusion.

"I remember that the reflection monsters will not bite and fight. They should choke your throat silently like darkness, making it difficult for you to breathe and then start crazy and nonsense, and the reflection monster is the reflection monster, nothing [ Unspeakable monster] Such a strange name."

   "This is like when the professor is in class, the content of the professor is exactly the same, but everyone's academic performance is not the same."

  Elena explained casually while cutting the egg tart.

"The reporters, uncle editors, and aunts, this is the first time I have heard Mr. Lovegood’s story with my own ears. The degree of absorption and mastery depends entirely on their respective comprehensions. It is normal to have more and less things-you Don’t forget, there are quite a few similar situations in the Potions class."

   "But, this is too incredible, right?!"

  Hermione said with a weird expression, reading the newspaper in her hand several times.

"What reflection monster, harassing horsefly, crooked snoring beast... these things are fictitious at first sound, "Prophet Daily" and "Witcher Weekly" will actually be published in the current affairs news seriously and seriously. Point of view, anyway, I just don’t believe it—"

  Hermione glanced at Luna, who raised her eyebrows angrily, and launched a defensive attack rather strongly.

"Unless you grab one and show it to me, those are fictitious creatures that don't exist. There is no record of these creatures in any book, including Professor Newt Scamander's "Where are Fantastic Beasts". No. Elena, are these actually advertisements? Ads that were planted to promote "The Devil"? Otherwise, there is no way to explain it..."

  "This is not an advertisement. They understand the wisdom of Mr. Lovegood."

  Elena shrugged, shook the fork in her hand, and whispered mysteriously. .

   "Hermione, do you remember the flashlight after Mr. Lovegood finished his speech last night? This is a clever adult wisdom."

  At the moment when Mr. Lovegood spoke last night, Elena anticipated what might happen in the future.

  Being misunderstood is the fate of the expresser, and what Mr. Lovegood really wants to describe is not so important.

  The important thing is how people perceive and understand this top media person in charge of "The Devil".

  Xenofilius Lovegood today is not the crazy idealist a few years ago.

As the helm and visionary of many popular emerging sub-publishes such as "Hogwarts on the Bite of the Tongue", "Into the Magic", and "Love Good Look at the World", Xenofilius Lowe Fugood is almost a weird genius who is about to be deified in the press of today's magical world.

  Of course, when people interpret Lovegood’s words with such a standpoint, strange things happen.

  Vicious political metaphor.

  This is a new way of propaganda that has never appeared before in the magical world.

  "A kind of adult...wisdom?".

  Hermione narrowed her eyes and stared at the dull hair on Elena's head, humming unconvincedly.

   Xiao Damao has no signs of lying, which shows that Elena is not lying to her.

  And this also means that in the long battle between "logic" and "inspiration", she was finally defeated and temporarily came to an end-after all, her opponent was a family this time.

   "Well, but I am not going to teach you for the time being... Those things are too dirty, too dangerous, and too early for you."

  Elena raised her eyebrows, said slyly, and licked her lips lightly, "unless—"

   "It's okay, Hermione, I will teach you. Don't let Elena bully!"

  Before Bai Mao Danzi finished the threat, Luna put down the knife and fork in her hand and looked at Hermione and said seriously.

"But I want to learn how you quickly copy homework in the Dark Magic Defense class. If I master that technique, maybe I can tell my father this Christmas, so that he won't be always Lie on the table while holding a quill pen to write and draw--"

   "I'm so happy. Let's suffocate this dumpling full of bad water together."

  Hermione nodded happily, glanced at Elena, who seemed to bit her tongue, dropped the newspaper in her hand on the edge of the table, and sat down with Luna's hand.

  Among Hogwarts, there are a few things that make Hermione and the others happy, one of which is watching Elena languish.

  What they didn’t notice was that in the follow-up article of the Daily Prophet that Hermione hadn’t finished, there was a separate paragraph in bold text.

"...The Ministry of Magic announced that starting next week, Dolores Umbridge will temporarily suspend the various duties performed by the Ministry of Magic. Therefore, she will temporarily return to the Ministry of Magic this week to ensure that they will be handed over or Finished all the work and drafts in her hands..."
