Harry Potter's Bastard

Harry, they had expected to have to search Hermione's Daily Prophet the next morning to find the article mentioned in Percy's letter. However, no sooner had the messenger owl flown off the milk jug than Hermione took a sharp breath of cold air. She unfolded the newspaper to reveal a large picture of Umbridge. She smiled and winked at them, with the headline on it: The Ministry of Magic Seeks Educational Reform Dolores Umbridge Appointed First High Hogwarts Inquisitor.

"Umbridge ...... 'High Inquisitor'?" said Harry, frowning, half-eaten slices of bread slipping from his fingers, "What does that mean?"

Hermione read aloud, "In an improvised operation last night, the Ministry of Magic passed a new decree that gave it unprecedented control over Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Secretary to the Director of the Special Office of the newly established Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry at the Ministry of Magic - Percy. Weasley said, "For some time now, a large number of officials within the Ministry of Magic, including the Senior Deputy Minister and the majority of the Wizengamot, have become increasingly uneasy about the state of affairs at Hogwarts. We took action after listening to the concerns of parents, who felt that the school seemed to be moving in a direction that they disapproved of. Not long ago, on August 30th, Education Order XXII was passed, ensuring that if the current headmaster was unable to provide a candidate for a particular teaching position, the Ministry of Magic would recommend a suitable candidate. "

"Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry Special Office?" Harry and Ron looked at each other, "And Percy is still the secretary?"

That's what the newspaper says. Hermione said without looking up.

"Hmph. Ron took a vicious bite of the bread, "Needless to say, they bought him off with a position, and now that idiot is their dog's leg." "

"Shhhh Hermione went on to read: "'That's how Lady Umbridge was appointed teacher at Hogwarts,' Weasley said last night, 'Dumbledore couldn't find anyone, and the Ministry of Magic assigned Miss Umbridge after discussion, and needless to say, she was an instant success—'"

"What did she do right away?" Harry looked at Hermione in amazement, "a big success......?

"Wait, it's not over yet. Hermione said with a straight face.

"Lady Umbridge was a game-changer in Defence Against the Dark Arts class when she arrived at Hogwarts, and provided the Ministry with on-the-spot feedback on the real state of Hogwarts. The most recent temporary operation came into effect with the passage of the Ministry of Magic's Education Order XXIII, which created the new position of Senior Inquisitor at Hogwarts. "

"What the hell is this Senior Investigator doing?" Ron looked at Hermione, who had been treating Hermione much better lately because of Percy's affairs, which had eased the relationship between the two of them a little - only a little.

"'This is an exciting new initiative. Hermione continued to read the newspaper," Secretary Weasley said, 'and the Investigator will have the authority to vet her fellow faculty members to make sure they are all up to par.' Professor Umbridge has been awarded this position in addition to her faculty membership, and we are pleased to report that she has embraced it. ’"

"The Ministry of Magic has received a large number of feedback from parents about Dumbledore's outlandish remarks and ridiculous teacher appointments, including Mr. Nott, whose son is in his fifth year at Hogwarts, and our reporter saying: 'I am much more relieved to know that Dumbledore will be given a fair and objective evaluation. Many of us who care about our children's interests have been worried about Dumbledore's bizarre decisions for several years, and it is reassuring to know that the Ministry of Magic is keeping a close eye on the situation. ’"

"The Daily Prophet would interview a Death Eater?" Ron was shocked, "This is ridiculous......

"Not at all. Hermione shook her head, "The shareholders of the Daily Prophet are pure-bloods, and those families are more or less related to the Death Eaters. "

"What else is there?" Harry asked, but he knew that there must be nothing good to say.

Those outlandish decisions, which undoubtedly included the appointment of controversial faculty members, which have been commented on by this newspaper, include the hiring of the werewolf Remus Lupin, the half-hybrid giant Rubeus Hagrid, and the former Auror "Mad Eye" Moody, who has mental problems. "

"I wasn't surprised at all. Harry and Ron looked at each other.

It also says that the Wizengamot resigned from his position because two of the Senators had resigned in support of Dumbledore. Hermione stared at the two names in the newspaper and thought for a moment, "Marchyban and Ogden, if I'm not mistaken, they should be the chief examiners of the Wizarding Grading Examination Management Committee, and they should be the proctoring of our O.W.Ls exams." "

Rumor of Umbridge's becoming a professor at Hogwarts and a senior Hogwarts inquisitor was immediately distributed. The Daily Prophet made it abundantly clear: she could judge any professor's lectures, which meant that professors had to be approved by Umbridge if they wanted to carry out their teaching activities properly – a shame for professors. They were all veteran professors, respected in the wizarding world, but now they had to look at the face of a woman who appeared out of nowhere.

But many students are also looking forward to it, what to expect? Naturally, they are looking forward to how Professor McGonagall and Professor Snape clean up Umbridge, and in the eyes of the students, as long as Umbridge dares to pick on Professor McGonagall or Professor Snape's class, she will definitely be taught a hard lesson.

"What the kind of inquisitor is she's going to start investigating the professors today?" Harry looked at Hermione.

"Hah!" Ron knocked on the table, "I can't wait for the Transfiguration class now, Umbridge was beaten by Professor McGonagall and didn't know what was going on." "

"Oh, hurry up," Hermione said, leaping to her feet, "we have to go, we can't be late if she's going to check Professor Binns' class!"

History of Magic - It's a boring class, and Solim hasn't been there since he took one class in his first year, but his homework is due. When Draco suspected that Umbridge would go to the history of magic and was about to let Solim go to class with him, Solim refused.

"Umbridge is also a Hogwarts graduate. Do you think she doesn't know what the history of magic is like?"

Solim was right, Umbridge didn't go to the history of magic classroom at all, who would want to waste their time here? Umbridge was also a student who had been tortured by Professor Binns, and she came to Hogwarts to do trouble, not to sleep, so she wouldn't investigate the history of magic.
