Chapter 61 Painting Cake
Under everyone's close attention, Umbridge slowly came to John and Alice.
But she did not ask John and Alice to stand up and humiliate them again, as Rooney expected.
Instead, he smiled and said warmly:
"Green, and Alice, would you like to have lunch with me?"
Neither John nor Alice spoke.
He just looked at Umbridge expressionlessly.
At present, they still don't understand what Umbridge wants to do.
But Umbridge paid no attention to their silence.
She took care of herself and sat next to John. She also smiled and stretched out two fingers, waving in the direction of Rooney and others.
This scene surprised all the Slytherins beside Rooney.
You know, Umbridge's arrogance and cruelty are well known to everyone in Hogwarts.
What she pursues is absolute hierarchical rule.
Anyone who dares to disobey her orders will sooner or later be punished by her brutally.
Even their boss, Rooney, looked trembling in front of Umbridge.
Inviting students to lunch or dinner was almost impossible for Umbridge.
Not to mention that without receiving a clear answer, Umbridge still sat shamelessly at the head student table.
This doesn't look like what Rooney said, that Umbridge was prepared to severely punish Green and Alice!
For a while, many people looked at Rooney with strange eyes.
Rooney himself actually felt a little weak.
But he still kept convincing himself to relax.
After all, in his opinion, Umbridge is a smiling tiger.
Before preparing to punish Green and Alice, it is normal to perform some gentle actions on them.
See Umbridge waving to them.
He first glared at the strange-looking Slytherins beside him, then slouched over to Umbridge and served her food.
After the incident, Rooney did not go far.
Instead, he waited beside Umbridge like a waiter.
He must take a close look at Green and Alice's unlucky appearance this time!
"Green, I've heard about you." Umbridge smiled while cutting the steak, "I heard that you made a big splash yesterday?"
"There is such a thing." John also cut the steak and said calmly, "What? The professor is here to prepare to deduct our points? At this point in time, I'm afraid it's a bit late, right?"
"Hehehe——"
Umbridge smiled like a girl and said, "You misunderstood, Green. I just heard about your deeds, so I wanted to have more contact with you."
Hearing this, John and Alice stopped moving their hands, and both looked at Umbridge with strange eyes.
Umbridge smiled and continued:
"You are all young people with great potential! You have strength, courage, wisdom, and most importantly, ambition! To be honest, I have never seen students as outstanding as you. I think you should have more
It’s a good future!”
The corners of John's mouth raised slightly and he said:
"A better future?"
"According to the instructions of the Ministry of Magic, I am currently preparing to recruit a student assistant."
"Haha! Being your assistant is a better future?"
"Of course the assistant position itself doesn't have much future," Umbridge said slowly, "but next year it's time to elect the male and female prefects of your class, right?
If you become prefects in the future, you will have to participate in the selection of the male and female student council presidents when you are in seventh grade, right?

After graduation, you will definitely want to find a job, right?
I think the Ministry of Magic would be a good choice. After all, working in the Ministry of Magic is the dream of countless wizards.
Besides, outstanding young people like you are indeed very suitable to work in the Ministry of Magic.
If you can join, you might get a good position."
As soon as he said this, all the nearby Slytherins had expressions of envy on their faces.
Rooney himself looked pale.
Umbridge didn't say it clearly just now.
The obvious meaning is that as long as Green and Alice are willing to become her student assistants, she can give them the green light to be prefects and work!
This is not punishment at all!
But to recruit!
Umbridge is planning to abandon him and find a new student agent!
The most important thing is that the conditions offered by Umbridge to Green and Alice are much better than when they bribed him!
For a moment, Rooney couldn't accept this fact.
At the long table, John and Alice looked at each other after hearing this, with a hint of sarcasm on their faces.
Different from Rooney and others.
They were not fooled by Umbridge.
In fact, the conditions offered by Umbridge do sound very favorable at first glance.
Whether it's a prefect, student council president or an important job in the Ministry of Magic, this is a coveted benefit for the average student.
But the most important question inside is this.
None of these things could be given to John and Alice immediately.
In other words, Umbridge is completely painting a cake.
She was good at deceiving students who were new to the world, but trying to deceive people like John and Alice was too whimsical.
Alice smiled and said:
"Professor, I wonder what work I need to do as your assistant?"
"Miss Alice, I must remind you that this is a thankless job." Umbridge pretended, "You need to be responsible for assisting me in managing students, organizing documents, and handling some official documents and announcements..."
"Oh - I understand, Professor Umbridge." John said with a smile, "You mean, we can do whatever you ask us to do."
"Yes! You are really a genius!"
Umbridge exclaimed.
She really praised John.
Because that's what she wanted to express.
But after she said the same thing to Rooney, the other party didn't understand the meaning at all, and kept making his own decisions outside, causing trouble!
She is really more and more pleased with John now!
However, even though the words had been spoken to this extent, Green had no intention of acceding to them.
This puts Umbridge in a bit of a dilemma.
Gritting her teeth, Umbridge decided to give her some more benefits.
She put her head to John's ear and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear:
"Don't you want to conquer the entire Slytherin House like that John Shafik? As long as you are willing to be my assistant, I can give you my power.
Attention! What I'm talking about is not just my rights as a Hogwarts professor.
I am the Senior Investigator of Hogwarts appointed by the Ministry of Magic, and I represent the power of the Ministry of Magic in Hogwarts.
Moreover, you must know about the Goblin Foundation, right?
It has now been rebuilt at Gringotts and has begun a large-scale acquisition program.
The position of Hogwarts School Director is also included in the Goblin Foundation's acquisition plan.
As long as this acquisition plan can be completed, the Goblin Foundation will have direct intervention rights over Hogwarts.
Together with the School Board and the Ministry of Magic, we can expel Dumbledore and take Hogwarts completely into our hands!
And when that time comes, as one of our own, you should know how much benefit you can get, right?"
As soon as these words came out, John was stunned for a moment.
Chapter completed!
