Hogwarts becomes host

"Headache." "Mixed mood." "Unbelievable."

"Crazy, absolutely crazy!" "Shameless..."

The above are the simple thoughts of students after reading.

Rita really knows what the public likes to see and what kind of things will arouse people's curiosity. "The Dark Lord of the 20th Century──Voldemort, or Tom Riddle?" Three days after the book was published, all copies in stock were sold out. Sirius had to make an emergency visit to the printing house for additional printing during the New Year's Day holiday.

There are only 10,000 wizards in the UK, and 3,000 copies were sold out in three days. It was completely beyond Elaine and Dumbledore's expectations, but something even more eye-catching was yet to come──the students replied After school, Daphne came to Elaine with a dark face and asked her why she had spread a certain crazy rumor. She didn’t have to go to this level if she wanted to provoke, right?

Voldemort once used his body to please male Muggles for wealth?

Later he developed a habit of being violated by male Muggles?

Elaine happened to be drinking tea, and she almost swallowed the cup after listening.

What kind of weird rumor is this? !

She didn't ask Rita to write this kind of content in the book at all! Unjustly accused!

But Daphne flipped through the book, pointing out each page to her.

It says that Voldemort stayed with a European wizarding family for a while.

The direct wizards of this family have all been arrested or exterminated because they joined Grindelwald's side. They had to let a female squib become the head of the family, but the actual decision was made by the wizard with a foreign surname.

And this wizard with a foreign surname actually likes men, and has a crazy interest in playing with male Muggles.

Later, Voldemort backhandedly killed all the members of this family one day...

The book clearly just says, "I don't know how Tom got the funding, but he always smiled easily and said everything was fine. Looking at his sunny smile, I felt very heartbroken" and "After cleaning up the scene, not only We found the remains of the head of the family, as well as five or six handsome male Muggles. Their death conditions were very miserable, especially their lower bodies...' This is just a sentence.

Elaine said she could not understand the British mind.

It makes people vomit blood, but no one can come forward to refute.

Not to mention Elaine, even if Dumbledore came forward to explain, no one would believe it.

Unless Voldemort personally comes forward to clarify, but the old man seems to be still looking for a new body in the Algerian forest, how can he have time to come forward to explain...

As a result, the Dark Lord's reputation plummeted, and Slytherin's backlash was particularly obvious. Lucius Malfoy even made a public appearance to express his position. Many Death Eaters actually didn't know what Voldemort was doing. If they knew his true identity, he would He had already stood up and resisted like Regulus Black.

This move really hit these wizard nobles in the foot. How could they, who were so proud of themselves, admit that a man who was suppressed by male Muggles was their master? They didn't say it publicly and everyone could pretend not to know, but now the books are all After selling it all over the world, we can only break up.

Anyway, they believe that Voldemort is dead...well...

I wonder what Malfoy will look like after Voldemort returns.

The matter is not over yet, Elaine seriously suspects that someone is adding fuel to the fire, otherwise the rumor would not have spread like this in less than a month.

Who is so bold as to make fun of Voldemort?

Adair? Death Eaters? Dumbledore?

The answer is...none of the above.

At the dinner party on the first day of the new semester after the Christmas break, a person who shouldn't have appeared now appeared.

The moment she saw her, Elaine almost knocked over the drink on the table - there was only one witch in the UK who could wear this fluffy pink cardigan with a big pink bow.

Dolores Umbridge!

Why is she here?

After everyone had finished eating, Dumbledore stood up and spoke with a smile.

"Okay, now that we are digesting another extremely rich and delicious meal, I ask everyone to be quiet for a while and listen to me talk about the precautions for the new semester as usual and introduce one of our new colleagues." He said as usual Said, "This is Senior Investigator Dolores Umbridge. The Ministry of Magic is very concerned about the quality of students' teaching, so she is sent to investigate to ensure the rights and safety of all students. Let us welcome you together." Her arrival.”

There was polite but not very enthusiastic applause in the auditorium, and Elaine clapped her hands several times with a pale face.

Will Umbridge ensure the rights and safety of students? Only ghosts believe it.

As soon as the introduction was completed, Dumbledore immediately turned to look at Umbridge.

As expected, she stood up unceremoniously and was about to give a speech. However, she was not much taller when she stood than when she was sitting, so it was easy for people to ignore her.

So Dumbledore sat down naturally and calmly. Since he did not continue to speak, others were not as surprised as in the original novel how someone dared to interrupt Dumbledore. Instead, they were curious about why Dumbledore only said one thing. .

...Elaine suddenly felt very irritable and should not have given the original novel to Dumbledore.

This guy is so gentle.

"Thank you, Headmaster!" Umbridge said with a smirk, "Thank you for such a warm welcome."

Her voice was high, high-pitched, and breathy. To Elaine, who had keen senses, it was like a knife being stabbed into her ears... Is this woman almost forty? How could she still pretend to be gentle?

"If you include your age in your previous life, you are almost forty, so you have no right to talk about her. 》

"...Shut up." Elaine cursed softly. "Do you know her? How is she doing at Hogwarts?"

"She is three years older than me, so I have no deep impression of her. "The split soul Adair said lightly. "With the blood and power of the Shafiq family, she won't mess with me, and I don't think she will do anything to you. Fudge has no intention of going against us." 》

"……why?"

"Idiot, if he really meant that, this woman wouldn't be a senior investigator, but a Muggle Studies professor. 》

"Cough, cough!" Umbridge pretended to cough a few times, cleared her throat, and continued, "Well, I must say, it's great to be back at Hogwarts! I eagerly hope to get to know each other soon. Y’all, I’m sure we’ll become very good friends!”

This falsetto was so torturous that Elaine had the urge to use musical magic to immediately change her voice. Fortunately, Umbridge cleared her throat again and started speaking with a serious and smooth tone.

"Getting back to the subject... The Ministry of Magic has always believed that educating young wizards is a very important matter. The ancient skills unique to the magical world must be passed down from generation to generation, otherwise they will disappear - the precious treasures accumulated by our ancestors The treasure trove of magical knowledge must be passed on to the best seeds by those who are fortunate enough to engage in the noble profession of education before it can take root, sprout, and grow."

At this point, she stopped talking and bowed slightly to the other teachers.

Some professors, such as McGonagall, Snape, and Adair, turned a blind eye to this.

But some professors nodded in return, such as Slughorn, Sprout, Flitwick and Grapeplan.

"Therefore, the Ministry of Magic takes the physical and mental safety of all students very, very, very seriously." Speaking of this, Umbridge specifically emphasized her tone, slightly blocking some signs of drowsiness. "Wizards send their children to snow castles far away from human habitation out of trust and respect. They believe that the children will receive the best education and grow into outstanding wizards. For this, Hogwarts has an undeniable responsibility. A heavy responsibility.”

Elaine didn't want to hear the rest of the words at all. Yes, Umbridge's words meant something, but with the lengthy talk and slow speech, her brain would definitely protest if she continued to waste her brain power listening to it...

Anyway, Hermione listened to every word with rapt attention, and it would have been nice to ask her afterwards.

And even without asking Hermione, Elaine had a rough idea of ​​Umbridge's intentions based on what she just said.

"Are you sure she's not here to target the Shafiq family?" Elaine gloated a little, "I think the physical and mental safety of the students is quite dangerous. He is the only one in Hogwarts who is harming students... Against the Defense Against the Dark Arts Well, Fudge really doesn’t want to see Dumbledore cultivate an army, does he?”

"If you knew what the Daily Prophet's headlines would be tomorrow, you wouldn't think so. "The divided soul said calmly, "There is no way Fudge can deal with me. Only idiots deal with Shafik and Dumbledore at the same time. I will only pick one to fight, unless he is really so arrogant that he thinks he is omnipotent. This is the best way. It should be to win over us and join forces to bring down Dumbledore. 》

"How do you know tomorrow's Daily Prophet headlines?"

There was silence when Dumbledore spoke. Now the classmates were whispering, whispering, and giggling. The auditorium was so noisy that no one noticed Elaine mumbling to herself.

Although thinking directly in her mind also had the same effect, Elaine later discovered that unless she was very attentive, the distracted soul would hear some messy thoughts at the same time when listening to her reply.

Not to mention that Elaine didn't want Adair to hear this, and Adair didn't bother to listen. It seemed to be a problem caused by the increased soul fusion.

In short, now Elaine and the split soul talk to each other, and the split soul's isolation from Elaine's soul has also been raised to a higher level.

Even if it is a temporary solution rather than a permanent solution, it can only be like this. It is impossible for Elaine to separate Adair, and it is impossible for Adair to abandon the dimensional channel in Elaine's body... Anyway, as long as Voldemort is killed before the soul is completely fused, everything will be fine. solved.

"This was sent from Rita Skeeter. Because it was so hilarious, I hid it from you. I'm looking forward to your comments tomorrow morning." 》

"...You have said this, and I will still laugh?"

"who knows? Fudge's move was so unexpected. I think many people will die laughing tomorrow. 》

die laughing?

Elaine looked around. Umbridge's speech was coming to an end. Most of the students were still unaware. On the contrary, the professors' reactions became very excited. Elaine had never known that Professor McGonagall's eyes could stare. So big.

Most of the professors pursed their lips, and the initial leisurely and curious mood had disappeared without a trace. Snape's expression was as if he had seen a large group of Harrys appear, and the good-tempered Professor Flitwick also showed obvious dissatisfaction. look.

Slughorn knocked on the table coldly and looked at Umbridge with a very dissatisfied look. It was the first time Elaine saw him like this. Even the gentle Professor Sprout stopped smiling. Dumbledore was still smiling happily.

What kind of content would make Adair hilarious, make the professors extremely dissatisfied, and give Fudge a reason to send Umbridge to Hogwarts?

Does it have anything to do with the recent rumors?

Elaine couldn't think of a reason for the moment, and the dinner ended inexplicably.

When she saw the huge front-page news in the Daily Prophet tomorrow morning, Elaine completely lived up to Adair's expectations and sprayed apple juice on the newspaper on the spot.

"An old Hogwarts professor published a book accusing Dumbledore of assaulting students. Is the Dark Lord actually the victim?" 》

Below is a photo of Fudge holding a copy of "The Dark Lord of the 20th Century" and speaking to a large group of people.

Dumbledore violated Voldemort?

There was an atmosphere of embarrassment and confusion in the restaurant. Elaine was not the only one who knew how to read the Daily Prophet.

But...this...

"This is impossible!" Harry jumped up angrily and yelled as he glanced at the newspaper. "Who's writing?!"

"'The book "The Dark Lord of the 20th Century" recently published by the Shafiq family..." Ron picked up the newspaper, read a few sentences and then looked at Elaine with a complex expression, "Why?"

"Don't look at me, there can't be such content in that book! Haven't you read it?" Elaine replied angrily. "This has nothing to do with me!"

"Ron, keep reading." Hermione said hurriedly, "Let's finish reading!"

"The book "The Dark Lord of the 20th Century" published by the Shafiq family describes the life story of the mysterious man Lord Voldemort. This book was written by an old man who once taught at Hogwarts and later joined the Death Eaters. Written by a professor, the book describes the transformation of a positive, helpful, smart and handsome outstanding student into the most powerful dark wizard in history."

"After multiple experts on the history of magic from the Ministry of Magic jointly researched it, they believed that the book was extremely credible. Not only that, experts on the history of magic from the Ministry of Magic even discovered some unknown secrets. Fudge gave a speech yesterday morning , indicating that Hogwarts has an unshirkable responsibility for the birth of the Dark Lord."

"'They told me that Dumbledore most likely assaulted Tom Riddle, who was still a student at the time,' said Minister of Magic Fudge seriously. 'This accusation is quite shocking. I can't imagine the impact on Riddle, a male professor. , using his authority and magic to forcibly attack students of the same gender──How powerful will this have on the students' bodies and minds?'"

"'Of course I believe it is impossible for Dumbledore to do such a thing, but I can't refute this accusation. Everyone knows...──Therefore, I will take necessary measures to ensure the reputation and safety of both parties.' said After saying this, Fudge immediately signed "Education Order No. 23" in front of everyone. The Ministry of Magic will send a senior investigator to Hogwarts to investigate whether school professors have used their power to bully students. "
