A Certain Magical Hogwarts

Chapter 865 The Boss Ran Away with His Sister-in-Law

Merlin, who would destroy a man, first makes him a muggle.

This statement perfectly encapsulates Fudge's recent madness.

After failing to communicate with Dumbledore and William, and realizing he was about to be impeached and removed from office, he began a series of questionable actions.

The first step was to sign a large number of pardons.

Whom should be pardoned?

Of course, whoever has Galon will be pardoned.

In his final moments before stepping down from office, Fudge felt he needed to think about the rest of his life.

During his five years as minister, he was too selfless, too honest, and too devoted to serving wizards... Fudge can only rake in some pension money!

Besides, I've received the Merlin First Class Badge once and made such a huge contribution to the magical world... can't I enjoy it?

Of course, even if you accept your fate, you should still find Dumbledore disgusting.

In just one month, Fudge signed twenty-two military regulations... oops, I mean school regulations.

In summary:

"Don't... if discovered... immediately..."

"All members... all... once... immediately...!"

"If...a disciplinary action is taken, the class monitor should take the lead..."

So, the rhetoric of leaders all over the world is pretty much the same.

Umbridge, of course, kept in mind the minister's spirit conveyed by Fudge and carried out sweeping "educational reforms" at Hogwarts.

For example, you have to register with the class monitor before you can use the restroom.

Squatting on the toilet will be timed, and cannot exceed five minutes... and it will be linked to the final exam grade.

This caused great suffering for many students with constipation.

There is also a rule prohibiting single men and women from going together. Unless approved by the dean, male and female students "cannot play alone together."

Anyone found to have violated this rule will be publicly criticized throughout the school.

This measure, once implemented, did not receive unanimous opposition; on the contrary, it was supported by many single people.

For example, Harry.

He had seen Qiu and Cedric walking together long ago and was unhappy about it.

Many more Hufflepuff students asked around, wondering if this rule... wasn't applied to same-sex relationships.

As expected of Hufflepuff Badger.

William didn't object; after all, he wasn't a student. And as a professor, he frequently used his power to confine Hermione.

Disobedient students should be locked up and beaten.

Amidst this chaos, the weekend at the end of February finally brought the opportunity to visit Hogsmeade.

This trip to Hogsmeade has been highly anticipated.

Under the strict educational regulations, many couples haven't spoken to each other for a long time... Even though they're in the same school, it's like a long-distance relationship.

For example, Cedric is very troubled.

Recently, there have been frequent reports about him being seen with Qiu.

I don't know who did it.

What a beast!

Every time he was reported, Umbridge would put him in solitary confinement.

However, his words implied that he could be helped to get a job as an assistant in the vice minister's office after graduation.

But I need to be her spy...

Cedric immediately replied: I know this script well; I tricked Umbridge into going to the bathroom last time.

At Cedric's insistence, William altered the events that occurred in the secret passage.

Cedric has forgotten this painful past...

So, he felt inexplicably excited again!

William, I want to play basketball... oops... be a spy!

What he didn't know was that espionage and seduction were the same thing.

Cedric's worries weren't just about being reported, but also about how to seize the opportunity of his trip to Hogsmeade and get closer to Cho.

He did confess his feelings last Christmas.

Just as she was about to kiss Cho, she suddenly saw Harry's picture on the side, staring intently at him.

My whole body went limp with fear, and the atmosphere was completely ruined by it.

In the morning, Cedric came to the Ravenclaw dining table to seek advice from William.

William thought for a moment and suggested, "A new escape room has recently opened in Hogsmeade; you could give it a try."

Speaking of this escape room game, it's actually a Hogwarts property.

The school's ghosts would haunt it and scare the students.

But all the ticket money collected was taken by Professor McGonagall, the financial whiz.

He's an old capitalist!

They even make money off ghosts.

……

……

After breakfast, students lined up in front of Filch, who checked the students' names against a long list.

Men and women were naturally separated into two rows.

Filch trained his Miss Alice to be a dog that could sniff out contraband such as feces from students.

Many students were identified.

They deliberately hid some on their bodies, wanting to see which method of concealment would prevent Miss Alice from finding them.

This way, you can buy large quantities of contraband without being detected.

Umbridge was also there, staring somewhat madly at the students as she strictly enforced the school rules.

After inspecting Hermione and Anne's carriage, William, who had cast the Disillusionment Charm, finally peeked out from behind Hermione.

He hadn't been to Hogsmeade in a long time, but he needed to go this time to meet Rita.

Rita is now living in a house provided by William, and she has various demands.

William needs to give this old woman, who's been getting a bit too cocky lately, a little warning.

Besides Rita, there was another person William hadn't expected, whom he begged to talk to.

The carriage moved along the wide driveway leading to the gate, the wind blowing Hermione's hair so that it obscured her eyes.

Seeing that there were no students around, she asked in a low voice:

"Are you sure the other vanished cabinet is in the Borgin-Bock store?"

"Yes," William said in a low voice, "besides that Nat, Umbridge told Mrs. Pomfrey after she woke up that she sometimes heard noises from the school and sometimes heard someone calling Burke's name."

"Are you planning to buy that vanishing cabinet?"

William nodded and said, "The school's disappearing cabinet is broken, but I'll be able to fix it soon."

This is similar to a door key, but more stable, and very useful to us.

Whether you leave it with Sirius or Professor Barblin, you can travel back and forth between the two places quickly.

The plans for the future are all too favorable.

Besides, it's not safe to leave this thing at school.

If noticed by someone with ulterior motives, it can be repaired at any time, and then Hogwarts can be secretly hacked.

As a school, there can be no loopholes in security.

The carriage soon arrived at Hogsmeade Village, and William and his two companions disembarked.

The streets were full of students, strolling around, looking at shop windows, and playing together.

A large notice was posted in the shop window, featuring photos of the escaped Death Eaters.

The notice stated that a reward of one thousand gallons would be given to anyone who could provide clues leading to the capture of the fugitive.

This gave William an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

After killing the Death Eaters, you can give their bodies to the Ministry of Magic.

This money is too good to pass up.

In addition to the wanted notice, various stores are also running promotions.

For example, Honeydukes's GG:

Enter the store and receive 1 million (Natt).

The three brooms were even more outrageous, with the slogan "5 million (Nuts) in hand".

Whether they actually have that much money or not is another matter, but the gimmick alone is very attractive to students.

Almost all stores are running lucky draw promotions.

Only Joko Widodo's joke shop actually put up a poster that said he owed 1.22 Galleons...

Okay, Joko Widodo's joke shop is about to be sold.

Since Akali's Mystery Shop appeared, another price war has been waged, and she has monopolized most of the market.

There are no joke shops in Britain that don't lose money these days.

So, the twins will go to Joko Widodo's joke shop today to talk to the owner about the acquisition.

Otherwise, the boss really would have to run away with his sister-in-law.
