Office of the Minister for Magic.

Dumbledore seemed to have fulfilled a wish and walked back behind the desk with a relaxed expression.

In the office, the walls are covered with photos.

These are photos of successive Ministers of the Ministry of Magic.

In addition to these photos, photos of the headmasters of Hogwarts have been added.

Because Dumbledore had been getting along with them for decades, he would always communicate with them about some things. So after he came to the minister's office, he hung their photos on the wall.

In one of the photo frames, there is an energetic old man in purple aristocratic clothes with white eyebrows and white beard, laughing without any image.

He laughed so hard that he was out of breath, and his beard trembled: "Albus, there are still people like this in your Ministry of Magic? Are all the members of the Ministry of Magic now at this level? They have no idea of ​​political struggle at all.

So stupid."

"Black, shut up!" a witch yelled angrily.

She is Artemesia Lufkin, the first female Minister of Magic, and it was under her hands that the Department of International Magical Cooperation was established.

The one she called Black was Phineas Nigellus Black.

That is, Sirius Black's great-great-grandfather, who entered Hogwarts in 1858.

The former headmaster of Hogwarts is also considered to be the most irresponsible headmaster in history.

I once used Galleons to smash out a first-class Merlin Medal.

"Lufkin, did I say anything wrong?" Phineas Nigellus Black said with disdain.

"You have been here longer. You must know exactly who Umbridge is."

Artemesia Lufkin's lips trembled twice, but she could not utter a word of retort.

Phineas Nigellus Black chuckled and said: "I have never seen such a weird person as Umbridge. It doesn't matter that she has no ability. The key is that she is so ignorant that she took the initiative to send the knife to her."

Put it on someone else's hand and put it on your neck."

"Albus, it seems that your good-guy image is really useful. Even that toad-like old woman is willing to believe you."

Dumbledore was not surprised at all that his intentions were discovered.

What he would do can be seen at a glance from the dozens of photos hanging on the wall.

Why would Umbridge really be sent to Hogwarts as a senior investigator? She should just dream.

Besides making Hogwarts a mess, what else can that old woman do?

Dumbledore had only one idea, and that was to get Umbridge out of the position of Deputy Minister of Magic.

Although Dumbledore disliked Umbridge very early on, she was still the nominal second-in-command of the Ministry of Magic.

It is impossible for Dumbledore to exclude a wizard who holds such an important position from the Ministry of Magic without reason, unless she makes a very, very serious mistake, such as being Voldemort's lackey and betraying the wizarding world. This is obviously impossible, Voldemort

It had been cold for so long, and she couldn't catch up with this good opportunity.

Therefore, in the past six months, the power in her hands has been gradually divided and has reached its limit.

But today, Umbridge's little thought gave Dumbledore a good excuse.

Dumbledore only gave "a little guidance", and Umbridge took the initiative to put the rope around her neck.

As for his promise to stabilize Umbridge, sorry, no one stipulates that Dumbledore can't lie to others.

Besides, Umbridge is not a good person either. Over the years, Dumbledore had frequently dealt with Umbridge while helping Fudge, the former Minister of Magic, handle official affairs.

Dumbledore had long been disgusted with this domineering, self-righteous, unreasonable, controlling, and revengeful old woman.

For cheating her once, Dumbledore wouldn't feel any guilt at all.

Dumbledore was in a good mood. He opened a drawer and found a dozen button-sized badges scattered in the corner, with different letters printed on them.

He identified it, took out one, and tapped it twice with his fingers.

The badge buzzed and vibrated, becoming increasingly hot.

Dumbledore said to the badge: "Attention ministers of all departments, a meeting will be held in the first conference room at eight o'clock in the evening to elect a new deputy minister of magic."

Dozens of crisp "receipts" came out from the badge one after another.

Dumbledore knocked twice more, and the badge went silent.

"What a convenient thing." Dumbledore turned the badge around in his hand.

"I just don't know why Harry came up with such a strange name: All members of Aite." Dumbledore said in confusion.

This is something Harry gave him, which can be used to contact other people. It was invented by Harry and Hermione.

It is still being prepared for sale in wizard supermarkets in a while. According to him, this is only version 1.0, because currently a badge can only be used to contact a specific group.

Later, you can implement a badge with multiple group functions.

In this way, two wizards each holding a badge can connect without delay even if they are on opposite sides of the world.

"By then, I'm afraid the telephones currently used by wizards to communicate will be gradually eliminated, let alone the owl messaging." Dumbledore sighed: "What Harry said makes sense. Use magic to change your life.

The most valuable part of magic."

…

Ministry of International Magical Cooperation.

After the reshuffling of positions, Lucius Malfoy is the Minister of this department.

He is really good at dealing with people from all walks of life.

After hearing what Dumbledore said, Lucius Malfoy's expression changed unexpectedly.

"New deputy minister? What do you mean? Isn't she that old woman Umbridge? What is Dumbledore thinking? Or is he going to set up another deputy minister?" Lucius Malfoy frowned for a while and relaxed for a while.

"No matter what, we don't have to figure out what Dumbledore is planning. Since something like this is going to happen, I will seize the opportunity and fight for it." Lucius Malfoy stood up and was about to visit his close friend.

Some of the ministers asked them to vote for themselves during the nominations in the evening.

…

Organization Department of the Ministry of Magic.

This department can be said to be the most powerful department in the Ministry of Magic besides Dumbledore.

Because it controls the assessment, appointment, and scheduling of all personnel in the Ministry of Magic.

At that time, many people struggled to get in, but unexpectedly, Dumbledore actually asked Arthur Weasley, a little-known man who had worked in the Office for the Prohibition of the Misuse of Muggle Articles for more than ten years, to take over.

But the strange thing is that after everyone looked at each other, they all accepted the result.

Because most people in the Ministry of Magic respect Arthur, including the directors of various departments, such as Ludo Bagman, Barty Crouch and Amelia Bones.

Many wizards in the Ministry of Magic know him and chat with him naturally. His good-natured character is very popular in the Ministry.

So in the end, everyone found that Arthur Weasley was the most suitable candidate. First, he had no background and was not involved with other families. Second, everyone had known Arthur for many years and knew his character and believed he would be fair.

of handling things.

At this time, Arthur Weasley was also confused and wondering what was going on.

"Dangdang..." I remembered the knock on the door.

"Come in." Arthur Weasley came back to his senses and responded.

As soon as he saw the pink figure coming in, Arthur Weasley immediately felt uncomfortable.

If he were to list the most hated wizards in the Ministry of Magic, Lucius Malfoy would be ranked second, and the first place would be the person in front of him, Umbridge.

And since he became the Minister of Organization, Lucius Malfoy has become much more honest, although when he meets him, he still has a smiley and sarcastic face.

"Minister Umbridge, what can I do for you?" Arthur Weasley said.

"I'll handle the resignation procedures." Umbridge snorted and said.

"Okay!" Arthur Weasley jumped up as if his butt was on fire.

Umbridge received the warmest reception ever from Arthur Weasley.
