Levin nodded slightly and said goodbye to Umbridge.
Before leaving, Levin suddenly said, half to Umbridge and half to himself, "By the way, this weekend, Hermione and I will be going to inspect the Magical Creatures Conservation Centre on the Isle of Man."
With that, he turned around and, under Umbridge's watchful gaze, quickly walked down the corridor and disappeared at the top of the stairs.
Umbridge's face showed a thoughtful expression.
Levin knew that if he lingered in the classroom for too long, Umbridge would be hampered and unable to gain the upper hand in his contest with Dumbledore. In this way, his presence at the school would inadvertently become an asset to Dumbledore, giving him a greater advantage in the struggle against Fudge's faction.
Dumbledore insisted that he attend classes, and this was certainly one of the reasons.
The course schedule this semester is quite different from previous years.
In the past, Gryffindor was usually paired with Slytherin, but this year Gryffindor's schedule overlapped with Ravenclaw's, which was obviously a deliberate arrangement by Dumbledore. As long as Ravenclaw stayed in class, Umbridge would be hesitant and restrained when dealing with Harry.
Professor Grappleland must have informed Dumbledore of his plan to shelter Hagrid, which undoubtedly made Dumbledore pay more attention to this strategy.
Agreeing to cooperate with Fudge's faction would indeed be very beneficial for Levin.
First, he doesn't have to go to class and doesn't need to waste any precious time.
Secondly, the struggle between Fudge and Dumbledore will intensify. This conflict will only benefit him; the deeper their conflict, the more opportunities he will have.

At the same time, this also sends a clear signal to Dumbledore: if the other party cannot speak to him on an equal footing, then he should not expect to be used anymore. Levin has his own plans and goals and will not blindly follow anyone.
As for the third benefit, Levin smiled slightly. He would have plenty of free time to do those things that had been on his schedule for a long time.
For example, they could start new businesses together with Hermione and transform those businesses into a group. Their business empire is already beginning to take shape in the magical world, and now is the perfect time to make a big splash.
Another example is going to Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to reform its teaching system.
With Dumbledore at Hogwarts, he might not be able to interfere with the school's system at will, and could only indirectly do so by establishing the Society of Scholars. But Durmstrang's headmaster, Karkaroff—actually Rowena incarnate—was completely subservient to him. There, he could freely exercise his power and recruit more talents to his own advantage.

Levin gradually brought his thoughts back and walked briskly toward Professor Flitwick's office.
Despite the dark clouds and drizzling rain outside, Professor Flitwick's office was peaceful and warm.
In the spacious room, several large windows were open, and rainwater was blocked by magic, preventing it from entering the space, allowing only fresh air to circulate inside.
Levin stood at the doorway, gently wiping a few drops of water from his robes, his gaze fixed on Professor Flitwick's short figure.
“Professor,” he bowed slightly, his voice full of respect, “I have come to ask you to exempt me from my Charms course.”
Although Umbridge's idea was good, the other party's plan could not be started immediately, so Levin still went to see Professor Flitwick.
Upon hearing this, Professor Flitwick's eyes flashed with surprise, but it was quickly replaced by a kind smile.
He nodded in agreement to Levin's request almost without hesitation.
“Yes, I understand your situation,” Professor Flitwick said gently. “While I cannot exempt you from your other courses, you are free to schedule your time for Charms class. You don’t have to attend classes or complete assignments. I believe you can make the most of that time.”
“Thank you, Professor.” Levin was not surprised by the other’s reaction; Professor Flitwick had always been very kind to him.
Professor Flitwick shook his head gently, a hint of apology on his face: "Actually, I should apologize to you. I couldn't persuade Headmaster Dumbledore to understand your special circumstances. He meant well, hoping you could interact more with other young wizards your age. However, I will find another opportunity to talk to him."
With that, the professor waved his wand, and two tempting Black Forest cakes danced a lively tap dance in the air, spinning all the way to Levin's feet.
"Come on, child, try this cake. You'll love it." — Fan
Chapter 518 Hogwarts Advertisement
When Levin entered Ravenclaw's common room, the young wizards who had already heard about the television premiere in the Daily Prophet had gathered in front of the television. Even the young wizards who were Muggles and had seen television before were very curious about this magical television program.
When the Arcane Intellect icon appeared on the television, the only sound in the common room was from the television.
"Stoj Bodmore, 38 years old, residing at No. 2 Golden Chain Park, Clapham District, illegally entered the Ministry of Magic on August 31 and attempted to commit robbery. He was caught red-handed by Eric Munch, a guard of the Ministry of Magic, and will soon stand trial in Wizengamore..."
The first program to be broadcast was the wizarding evening news, hosted by Fleur Delacour. Even though the content was relatively dry, the young wizards watched with great interest.
Even after the news ended and the commercials started, their interest remained high, and they shared their opinions on the content of the ads.
"Mrs. Skoll's All-Purpose Stain Remover: Effortlessly Removes Stains!" A beautiful witch held a bottle of stain remover and removed a large smear of ink from a garment.
“Cornflower: A flying broomstick for the whole family – safe, reliable, and with a built-in anti-theft buzzer…” Bryce Parkin, Seeker for England’s National Quidditch team and Levine’s teammate, appeared on the screen riding a plain-looking Cornflower flying broomstick.
She currently plays for Wigtown Wanderers, a Quidditch "780" team originally founded by the Parkin family, and still the preferred team for Parkin family players.
After the commercial break, upbeat music played, and a group of wizards dressed in red and white uniforms flew swiftly through the sky on flying broomsticks. A close-up of Bryce Parkin, who had just appeared in the commercial, reappeared on the screen, this time not riding a cornflower, but her signature silver Nimbus 2000.
"Hey, here's a replay of the Tornadoes vs. Wigtown Rangers game." In the Gryffindor common room, George winked at Ron. "You hate the Tornadoes so much, you're definitely going to support the Wigtown Rangers, right?"
Ron pursed his lips, nodded, and didn't look away from the TV for a second.
“I just read the newspaper that day; the tornado won.” George grinned maliciously, then suddenly dodged, while Neville, who was next to him, was perfectly hit in the face by the sofa cushion that was originally heading towards George, and fell backward along with the chair.
“Oh, sorry Longbottom!” Angelina exclaimed angrily, “That’s terrible of you, George, don’t tell us the outcome beforehand!”
“Oh, I’m sorry, Angelina, I’m Fred,” George replied playfully.
“Fred, you can’t do this. The game isn’t as exciting once you tell us the result,” Angelina accused.
"Sorry, Angelina, I'm Fred." The real Fred threw the sofa cushion he was using to cushion George before explaining to Angelina.
Whether it was because his aim when throwing the sofa pillows wasn't as good as when he was a Quidditch hitter, or because Neville's face was guaranteed to be hit, the unlucky guy was hit again as soon as he got up and fell down, his head landing right on the previous pillow. Just then, the last pillow that had just fallen from the sky landed on his face again, and Neville was now sandwiched between the two sofa pillows.
"Stop it, stop throwing things! Neville isn't a sandwich!" Prefect Hermione finally stopped the commotion.
Finally, after the match replay ended, Fleur Delacour reappeared on television, smiling as she announced that the channel would be broadcasting a montage of the first match of the Triwizard Tournament, with Ludo Bagman providing commentary until midnight.
After that, the channel will play today's program on a loop until 7:00 AM tomorrow, when a new program will begin.
In the future, we will provide more exciting programs for everyone, and we hope that the audience will continue to support Aofa United TV.
After Furong finished speaking, commercials started playing on the TV, and a slightly mesmerizing advertising slogan rang out:
Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry offers vocational skills training in areas such as flying, potions, transmutation, spells, and astronomy.
The school boasts thousands of acres of teaching space, nearly 10,000 pieces of practical equipment, professional experimental classrooms, a spacious and luxurious super canteen, and a world-class Quidditch pitch.
Within the campus, logistics are convenient, with Cainiao parcels delivering to students' doors, and intelligent security systems ensuring student safety at all times.
It boasts a prime location, with the station just a wall away from the city center of London.

In a dazzling two-minute advertisement, the young wizards stared wide-eyed, almost unable to believe what they were seeing.
What appeared on the screen was none other than the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry they knew so well! The majestic castle, the fluttering flags, and the familiar faces of the professors... everything was so familiar, yet everything was so strange.
The same thing becomes a completely different thing in the description of an advertisement.
“My God, there’s an ad for Hogwarts here!” Dean Thomas exclaimed.
"Are we at Hogwarts really that powerful?" freshman Euan Abercrombie murmured to himself, his eyes gleaming with pride.
At the same time, many scenes that openly mocked Voldemort and the Death Eaters amused the young wizards.
"Haha, look at Voldemort's expression!" Harry pointed at the screen, laughing so hard he almost fell over.
"This ad is brilliant; it dares to make fun of those dark forces like that," even Simon Finigan exclaimed.
These humorous clips not only added to the fun of the advertisement, but also highlighted the courage and boldness of the Aufa United Television Station.
After all, in this magical world, it's not something an ordinary person can do to so openly mock those infamous dark forces.
These jokes, which also hinted at Voldemort's return, did not offend the audience. After all, who would turn down a joke?
In short, the entire advertisement showcases Hogwarts' strength and charm, making it irresistibly appealing to both parents who aspire for their children to become excellent wizards and aspiring wizards with magical dreams.
In short, there is only one problem.
In the Ravenclaw common room, Luna pointed out incisively, "In the entire Kingdom of Darkness, there's only one magic school, Hogwarts. All young wizards have only one place to go, so who exactly is this advertisement aimed at?"
This question was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, creating ripples... The young wizards began to whisper and discuss among themselves.
"Yes, if there's only one magic school, why bother advertising it?"
"Is this advertisement intended for the young wizards who have already enrolled in school?"
"But we're already here. Do we still need to learn about the school through advertisements?"
However, Levin saw it differently.
He knew that the power of advertising went far beyond simply promoting products; advertising could subtly shape an image, allowing the ancient Hogwarts school of magic to shine brightly in the new era.
Sometimes, a great advertisement can greatly enhance a school's image, which is one of the manifestations of a school's soft power.
Levin often pondered why Hogwarts—a magic school larger than Beauxbatons and Durmstrang, and a frequent champion in the Triwizard Tournament—had such a modest international influence, completely unbecoming of its stature and Levin's expectations.
In Levin's mind, Hogwarts was not just a school, but also an excellent platform to promote his arcane magic and extend his influence to the entire wizarding world.
Levin influenced the girls in the Genius Club through his own strength and charm, using their abilities to expand his influence to the entire Wizarding Society, then through the Wizarding Society to the entire Hogwarts, and finally through Hogwarts to the entire wizarding world of the Underworld.
Every step in this process is closely linked, and every link is crucial.
However, Levin's vision did not stop there.
Hogwarts' student body shouldn't be limited to the British Isles. Levin hopes that one day he'll meet international students from Gaul, the United States, Germany, and even as far away as Wakanda in the hallways of Hogwarts.
Levin knew that if Hogwarts was to truly expand its influence throughout the global wizarding world, the power of local students alone would be far from sufficient. Only by making students from other countries flock to Hogwarts could it truly influence the global wizarding world through arcane magic.
This kind of thing has nothing to do with lower grades.
