HP: White Lord of Slytherin

Chapter 242 International Impact

The content of the Daily Prophet naturally caused an uproar, and many parents protested against the Ministry of Magic's further interference in Hogwarts.

This incident still spread abroad, but what was unexpected was that Quidditch international superstar Krum took the initiative to mention this incident during an interview.

[The Ministry of Magic should not interfere in the school and bring political struggles to the students. I like Hogwarts very much. I stayed there for nearly half a year during the Triwizard Tournament last year. It is a really good school, so I was shocked when I heard about this incident and felt sad for what those students went through.]

As an internationally renowned figure, his speech sparked wider discussion. After all, there are many people in the entire wizarding world who love Quidditch.

Even without Gloria fanning the flames, countries across Europe and even further afield were discussing the matter.

"Regarding the relationship between official institutions and magic schools, does what happened at Hogwarts this time indicate that the Ministry of Magic can only have supervisory responsibilities?"

Draco looked at the newspapers from foreign newspapers and read out the meaningful contents.

"When absolute authority overwhelms the school's teachers and students, other schools may not be able to expose the matter like Miss Slytherin did, using the family's partial ownership of Hogwarts. This is worth everyone's consideration."

The boy looked up at Gloria, "This is a very well written article."

Gloria agreed, "It looks like Headmaster Dumbledore is coming back."

Even if Fudge is unwilling for the time being, public opinion will naturally turn to Dumbledore's side.

"Here's another analytical report." Zabini raised the newspaper in his hand and saw that the words on it were in French.

"The cause of this incident is most likely that the British Minister of Magic was fighting for the right to speak and undermining Dumbledore's prestige, causing harm to the teachers and students of Hogwarts. Of course, we don't know why Fudge was dissatisfied with Dumbledore at present."

Zabini couldn't stop smiling, "Well said."

Gloria said: "The principal can come back without the holiday being over."

Krum's influence was great, and Dumbledore returned earlier than expected.

Otherwise, if Fudge directs all public opinion towards Umbridge, the matter of the headmaster's return may have to be put on hold for the time being.

Only one day after public opinion in Europe fermented, Professor McGonagall announced the return of Headmaster Dumbledore.

The students who were finishing their breakfast applauded enthusiastically for this event.

Gloria got the Daily Prophet and this news was on the front page.

[The Ministry of Magic sets things right, Dumbledore returns to Hogwarts! ]

["There are too many misunderstandings. Umbridge told me that the student organization was very dangerous. As the Minister, she would definitely worry about the Ministry of Magic." Cornelius Fudge explained the misunderstanding of the whole incident. "I saw that Dumbledore wanted to protect the students, so after he left, I only appointed a headmaster. We have been friends for many years and I have always respected him. I believe in his character."

Finally, Cornelius Fudge said: "So Dumbledore will return to Hogwarts to continue to serve as the headmaster. No one is more suitable than him. The teachers expelled by Umbridge will also be restored to their professorial status. All educational orders implemented in July 1995 will be abolished and will no longer interfere in school management and education issues."]

"Everything went well." Gloria put down the newspaper. "At least we don't have to fight the Ministry of Magic in school anymore."

Draco saw Professor Trelawney reappear on the staff desk. "He will then focus all the blame on Umbridge, but that woman's hands were not clean to begin with."

He had read the information Lowry had found out that Umbridge had done many unscrupulous things in order to get promoted.

When breakfast was over and the students were starting to leave, Hermione found Gloria.

The two strolled near Hagrid's hut and walked slowly along the edge of the Forbidden Forest.

"Did you see the report about Krum's interview?" Hermione asked her.

"I saw it." Gloria said, "It was quite unexpected, but his voice allowed Dumbledore to return to school earlier."

Hermione touched her face with the back of her hand. "I just saw the Daily Prophet mentioning this this morning. He...wrote to me yesterday, saying that he didn't expect the school to be targeted like this this year."

Hearing this, Gloria was curious, "Didn't you guys keep communicating? Didn't you tell him?"

"No." Hermione looked a little conflicted. "He has already graduated and is busy with international competitions. I don't want to tell him about this. It's our school's business."

Hermione seemed to muster up her courage. "He wrote to me this morning, saying that he will come to Hogwarts in May. Of course, he needs the headmaster's consent first, but I don't think the headmaster will stop him."

"I came to see you." Gloria couldn't think of anyone else in the school who could make him so worried.

Hermione's cheeks flushed, "Yes, he said he must come and see me in person. He probably thought I was also punished by Umbridge."

"Does this bother you?" She sensed Hermione's hesitation. "I thought you were in love."

"Of course not!" Hermione said, "We're just friends. In fact, I've decided to slowly reduce my correspondence with him this year. I know what he thinks, but there is still a big gap between us."

Gloria understood that this was the trouble of a young girl, "If you don't like him, just refuse."

"It's not that I don't like him at all..." Hermione thought for a moment and said, "You should be able to see that I like Ron a little bit. He always stands up to defend me at the first opportunity. But last year, I was looking forward to the Christmas dance, but he didn't invite me in the end. He even said something that made me sad."

She said: "Krum is really good. His personality is different from his appearance. He is very gentle. I often think that if he was a student at Hogwarts, I would be with him without hesitation."

"So you didn't look for Ginny, but told me this instead." Gloria could understand, after all, the other person in the gossip was Ron. "Hermione, choose whoever you feel happy with. This is also your subconscious choice."

"I see, thank you." Hermione said shyly.

"Nothing." Gloria asked, "Does your house know when Dumbledore will be back?"

The Ministry of Magic has officially announced in the newspaper that she wants to meet the other party as soon as possible to resolve the issue of the crown.

"I don't know the details." Hermione recalled, "But Professor McGonagall told us that there will be a dinner party in the evening, and the headmaster should be there at that time."

The dinner was prepared for Dumbledore.

"Okay, what's wrong with Harry lately? The last time I talked to him, he seemed very strange."

"Uh..." Hermione shook her head, "We also noticed it. That day, Professor Snape stopped teaching him Occlumency. I felt it was inappropriate, so I asked him to go back and ask Professor Snape to continue, but he was unwilling."

Gloria nodded. "Perhaps our dean can't stand his lack of progress."

Hermione sighed, "I hope nothing bad happens before the OWL exams are over."

I've been through enough this school year.
