Chapter 359 Night Talk(1/2)
What is the secret to victory in any struggle?
Mike had thought about this issue for a long time, but due to his worrisome cultural level, Mike had never thought of an accurate answer until he accidentally heard a famous saying - unite the majority and attack the small group.
.
To this day, Mike can no longer remember who said this sentence, but he has always believed that the person who created this summary must be a great person, even greater than scientists like Einstein.
What's more, because he pointed out a clear path for all future careerists in the world.
The wizarding world has obviously not heard of this sentence, at least not Umbridge.
Therefore, she has been wooing the rich and powerful Slytherin house since she entered Hogwarts, and uses high-pressure policies to force students in other houses to obey her orders.
This kind of behavior undoubtedly pushed her to the opposite side of most people.
And this also created an excellent opportunity for Mike.
Whatever Umbridge suppresses, Mike will try his best to win over, and whatever Umbridge tries to win over, Mike will try his best to suppress.
Under the circumstances, Mike believed that almost all the students in the other three houses of Hogwarts, except Slytherin House, would be under his command, and by that time, it would be the time for Umbridge to perish.
Naturally, Umbridge didn't know about Mike's plans.
In fact, at this moment, she was staying in her renovated office and repeatedly studying a letter stamped with the seal of the Ministry of Magic.
This is a letter of appointment from the Ministry of Magic to confer her as the Senior Investigator of Hogwarts, and it is also the reward for her hard work during this period.
Minister Fudge took Dumbledore's possible corruption very seriously. Not only did he directly appoint her as the 'first senior investigator of Hogwarts,' he also praised her in the newspapers.
The next thing is very simple, she wants to dig up evidence that Dumbledore embezzled public funds!
Come to think of it, that's Dumbledore!
If I could send the most powerful white wizard of this era to Azkaban, what a great political achievement it would be!
With this amazing political performance and the relationship with Minister Fudge, after Fudge retires, he can go to other departments to become a leader with real power. Even the position that represents the highest power in the wizarding world in the country says that he
Maybe you can try it too!
Minister Umbridge!
What an intoxicating title!
In a trance, Umbridge seemed to see the glorious moment when she successfully ran for the position of minister and was surrounded by flowers and applause!
Just when Umbridge was lost in fantasy, there was a sudden knock on the office door.
"Dong dong dong!"
Along with the rhythmic knocking sound, Umbridge's body trembled violently and she woke up.
Immediately afterwards, Umbridge took a long breath, then pinched her orchid fingers and put away the letter of appointment in front of her - she was going to frame it as a tool to show off in the future.
"coming!"
After doing all this, Umbridge finally stood up. Since she had to welcome an extremely important guest next, she even arranged her pink dress specially.
But Umbridge opened the door, and what appeared in front of her was a tall young man with brown hair. He was neatly dressed in Hogwarts school uniform, and the Slytherin prefect badge on his chest was reflected in the firelight.
sparkling underneath.
"Good evening, Professor Umbridge."
The young man smiled and nodded to Umbridge, his appearance and manners were impeccable.
"Come in, Chris, I'm waiting for you."
There was a strange light in Umbridge's eyes. In fact, in addition to liking everything about little girls, Umbridge also had an unspeakable secret hobby.
That's handsome man!
Young handsome man!
Over the years, relying on her power, Umbridge has used various methods to 'mutilate' many people. When she saw Chris, she suddenly felt her heart beating faster again.
It's a pity that the man in front of him is different from the usual fresh and handsome men who have just graduated from Hogwarts. He is the patriarch of a holy pure-blood family, and he is the actual talker of almost all Slytherin students at the moment.
.
Nowadays, Hogwarts is very chaotic. Even with the help of the Ministry of Magic, it is difficult to complete the task by myself, so I must get the help of the person in front of me!
Thinking of this and looking at Chris who was looking around after entering the office, the smile on Umbridge's face became even brighter.
"I have to say, the decorations here are really beautiful!" Chris exclaimed, "At the same time, it can be seen from these, Professor Umbridge, you are definitely a lovely lady!"
Different from ordinary bragging, Chris' expression was sincere and his tone was decisive when he spoke.
Coupled with his handsome appearance, Umbridge felt her heart beating faster!
"Excellent...thank you! Please sit down, I have made black tea for you." Umbridge started to stutter when she spoke, but her long-term experience in dealing with politicians quickly made her calm down again.
.
Looking at Chris who said thank you before sitting on a high chair and began to taste black tea, Umbridge gritted her teeth and planned to make a quick decision and said:
"Chris, you should know that I am now the Senior Investigator of Hogwarts, and my main task is to investigate Dumbledore's corruption problem."
"Of course, I haven't had time to congratulate you yet."
"Congratulations don't matter, as long as you have this heart, it's enough." Umbridge said, "My first priority now is to find evidence of Dumbledore's corruption. For this, I need your help."
After saying that, Umbridge put away her smile and looked at Chris seriously.
For Chris, she also did some homework.
She knew that the young man in front of her was not as gentle as he seemed on the surface. He was actually a very ruthless and greedy person. Otherwise, he would not have been able to unify the family and Slytherin Academy in a short period of time.
.
Therefore, she was ready to be slaughtered by Chris!
However, what surprised her was that after hearing this, Chris thought for a moment and said:
"How can I refuse the request of a beautiful lady? Well, Ms. Umbridge, some of my classmates happen to be descendants of the Hogwarts school governors. I can let them store their family's treasures.
Yes, I will give you the report that Hogwarts submits to these school governors every year."
"This is really great!" Umbridge couldn't help but exclaimed.
Hogwarts itself actually has a mechanism to prevent corruption. This mechanism causes Hogwarts to take money from the school directors and the Ministry of Magic every year. At the end of each year, Hogwarts must also provide detailed accounts of expenditures and income.
Mric will be able to conduct a detailed audit.
Umbridge has wanted this account book for a long time. Originally, there were many such account books stored in the Ministry of Magic. However, Umbridge's request was blocked by many "protectors", so she could only get it from Chris.
Started.
"Hahaha, you don't have to be so excited." Chris laughed, "Not to mention that you are the deputy minister of the Ministry of Magic, and it is the obligation of us citizens to cooperate with the actions of the Ministry of Magic. Just because you are a beautiful lady
, it will be difficult for me to refuse your request!"
"Oh! You are so generous. I really don't know how to thank you!"
"You're welcome, this is just a small effort. If you really want to thank me, why not just give me a kiss."
…
Half an hour later, Umbridge finally ended her conversation with Chris.
Of course, Umbridge did not do anything inappropriate with Chris, nor did she give him a kiss as he requested.
Umbridge still has some self-awareness. No matter how you look at it, she is not a beauty.
Therefore, she was more willing to believe that Chris was laughing with her, a slightly ambiguous joke.
'Maybe he tells all the girls that.'
Umbridge kept repeating this sentence in her heart to dispel the idea of actually kissing her.
Overall, Umbridge can be said to have made a lot of money this time.
Not only did he get the account books between the school directors and Hogwarts, but he also got support from Slytherin House.
This will undoubtedly be extremely beneficial to her future development at Hogwarts.
However, after Umbridge sent Chris out of the office, the gentle smile on her face disappeared and was replaced by a cruel and indifferent expression.
Free things are the most expensive!
Umbridge still understands this truth. In the situation just now, Chris agreed without making any request. This is really weird!
"It seems that the young man just now has great ambitions!"
Umbridge picked up a stuffed bear placed on the cabinet nearby and spoke to the stuffed animal.
After she finished speaking, she actually pouted again, opening and closing the puppet's mouth while saying in a distorted falsetto:
"It doesn't matter! Dolores, you are the best! None of them are your opponent!"
"Oh! I'm so grateful to you, dear Bear!"
"You're welcome, we are best friends!"
As Umbridge muttered to herself, the night gradually deepened, and Chris, who was walking in the darkness, had an inexplicable evil smile on his face.
