HP: By the lake of Snake Garden, flowers bloom on the other side

Chapter 429 [Please support the original version on Tomato Novels, thank you for reading] Professor

Minerva McGonagall, currently the Head of Gryffindor and the Vice-Principal, has a headache now.

This headache was not a physical pain that could be cured by going to the hospital wing and drinking a potion from Madam Pomfrey, but a psychological feeling.

The person who gave Professor McGonagall a headache was the famous Harry Potter - a boy who everyone called the savior.

The problem now lies in the word "savior".

In the Triwizard Tournament in June, after the last maze, only four of the five warriors returned - and one warrior's life stayed in a cemetery forever.

Harry brought back the news that he was burned to death in the fire while resisting Voldemort.

His old friend Dumbledore informed all the teachers and students of Hogwarts about the news before everyone left school.

During the two-month long summer vacation, the Daily Prophet published a report on the matter - "The Return of the Dark Lord: The Truth About the Triwizard Tournament".

Minerva McGonagall also saw this article, but did not agree with it.

This article describes the grand event of the Triwizard Tournament at length, and even mentions the Gringotts Gamble.

Minerva strongly suspected that the author Rita Skeeter was also involved in gambling, otherwise how could she describe it in such detail.

It also mentions the return of Voldemort, on the other side - from the rich writing of the Quidditch World Cup to the Triwizard Tournament, to the details of how Voldemort thought over and over again about his plan.

At first glance, it seems that I made it up, and it sounds like I saw it with my own eyes.

It also wrote about how cautiously Dumbledore took this matter, saying things like "I, Dumbledore, swear to Merlin."

It also uses a short paragraph to talk about the Ministry of Magic without any effective action, and finally only uses a few sentences to mention Harry Potter in the ending part.

The style of this article follows the unscrupulous reporter's usual style of exaggerating and making up random things.

Minerva McGonagall brought the newspaper to Dumbledore and told him that the reporter had written randomly.

Unexpectedly, Dumbledore laughed after taking it and reading it, "Very good, this is very good, very good."

Dumbledore said "yes" three times in a row, but Minerva didn't understand.

So she asked Dumbledore, "Why?"

Minerva thought Old Bee was confused? Everyone above was belittling him, but he actually said yes?

"Okay! Why not?" Dumbledore laughed, his beard trembling slightly.

"Did you see that?" Dumbledore pointed to the section about Voldemort's return on the second page. "Minerva, Rita Skeeter admitted that Voldemort had returned, and also let everyone who read the Daily Prophet More people know about this. Rather than these disparaging words about me, the most important thing is to let more ordinary wizards know this. I am worried that those children will not be able to convey what I want when they return home. What does it mean?”

Minerva looked with admiration at Dumbledore, who was smiling sincerely. His blue eyes were bright, and it could be seen that he was in a really happy mood.

Later, when Minerva learned that Dolores Umbridge was parachuted to Hogwarts by the Ministry of Magic to be the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, she suddenly thought of this report.

Could it be that this article stimulated some nerve in Minister of Magic Fudge and made him take action?

Minerva McGonagall has an impression of Dolores Umbridge - she once took her class.

At that time, Dolores Umbridge was not outstanding among the Slytherin students, in any way.

Slytherin students wear more green clothes - the four houses seem to have reached a consensus, and their clothes will try their best to favor the color system of their own house.

Now Dolores Umbridge is wearing pink that makes her eyes hurt - unfortunately, she is her colleague and has to stay in the same teacher's chair with her when attending public events.

Could it be that seven years of studying has suppressed Dolores Umbridge's nature too much, leading to a rebound in her character?

If you want to rebound, just rebound. Anyway, I don’t have to have too much contact with her.

Minerva herself had an endless amount of things to worry about, and the little private time she had left was devoted to the Quidditch game.

The fifth-year Gryffindors were choosing a new Quidditch captain, and Minerva was still thinking about who would be suitable.

Harry Potter, who was on the shortlist for captaincy, came to find him - with a note from Dolores Umbridge.

Minerva McGonagall's head began to hurt when she saw Harry Potter's angry look. After reading what was written on the note, I found that I had a headache a little early.

Minerva McGonagall didn't want others to know her conversation with Harry, so she let him into her office.
