HP: White Lord of Slytherin

Chapter 231 Impact of the Interview

After the interview, The Quibbler did not publish the report immediately.

Draco bought a magazine specially, looked at the contents inside, and threw it aside in disgust, "Does anyone really buy this kind of magazine?"

The whole article was filled with weird reports about creatures that had never been heard of. There was no such thing even near Slytherin Manor.

Gloria continued to flip through the pages. "It does look strange, but in the magical world, everything is possible."

The boy moved closer to her, his hot breath fanning over her cheek.

Gloria put down the magazine and stared at him with her silver moon-like eyes. "What's wrong?"

Draco hugged her from behind and buried his face in her neck. "When can Umbridge and Fudge be sent away? In addition to our studies and affairs, just reading their news takes up a lot of our time, and that old woman always stares at you with disgusting eyes."

Gloria stroked her soft blonde hair. "We'll try to get it around May. Not only does it take time for me to collect evidence, but it also takes time for Umbridge to create it. I not only want to kick her out of school, but I also want to free up her position in the Ministry of Magic."

She said: "But the most important thing is to make Voldemort appear in public, so that Fudge will undoubtedly step down."

Draco asked: "After Fudge steps down, can we push our people to become ministers?"

"It's a bit difficult." Gloria said, "The head of the Auror Office, Rufus Scrimgeour, is a strong competitor. He has performed well in his position and has been very tough in combating dark wizards for many years, just like old Crouch more than a decade ago. The current head of the Law Enforcement Department, Bones, is no match for him, so I plan to drive Umbridge out of the Ministry of Magic."

She continued, "Senior Deputy Minister is a good stepping stone. Strong is fully qualified for the position, but judging by the information, Scrimgeour is more likely to become Minister. In dark times, the public is more optimistic about people with his character."

Hayden Strong joined the Ministry of Magic after graduation and performed well for more than 20 years, except for an opportunity.

Draco was a little disappointed, as he thought he could push a minister up.

Grolua rubbed his face. "It doesn't matter. The Ministry of Magic has many departments and we have deployed a lot of people. Strong can do a lot as the Senior Deputy Minister. Moreover, after Voldemort is completely confirmed to have returned, a righteous person like Scrimgeour is just right for that situation."

The young man said in a muffled voice: "If the next one doesn't work, we will plan for the next one."

"Okay." Gloria said, "I hope Harry's report will be published soon. I don't want to read this magazine anymore."

·

It was a full week before The Quibbler published Harry's story.

During breakfast time, Gloria quietly read the report.

The Gryffindor table was already bustling with activity, and several owls landed in front of Harry, attracting a lot of attention.

What's rare is that Headmaster Dumbledore is also here today.

She finished reading the report and looked up at the staff table. Umbridge was attracted by the movement at the Gryffindor table and had already walked over there.

Soon she met the headmaster's blue eyes. He smiled kindly and raised the magazine to read. Professor McGonagall leaned over curiously and saw the content. She quickly adjusted her glasses to read it carefully.

"I wrote to my father in advance, and he read a week's worth of boring magazines." Draco said, "It seems that this edition will be a big seller today."

The Order of the Phoenix has Sirius's promotion, and Lucius in the Ministry of Magic has also mentioned this magazine. I think a lot of people have been paying attention to it recently.

Gloria closed the magazine and said, "Put these in the Chamber of Secrets later. It won't be long before Umbridge finds out."

Draco glanced at Crabbe and Goyle, who knew nothing about this, and gloated, "Potter mentioned all those names. I'm looking forward to their expressions when they see the magazine."

"They'll probably tear it apart." Gloria felt that with the intelligence and personalities of those two, they could only do this much.

At this time, Umbridge's shrill scream came from the Gryffindor table. She was probably really mad and completely forgot that Gloria had helped Harry against her before. She banned Harry from going to Hogsmeade again, deducted points and gave him detention.

Harry was not afraid of this at all, instead he looked relieved.

Draco shook his head. "It won't take long. She knows it now."

Sure enough, when they finished their morning classes, a new education order had been posted: No student was allowed to bring "The Quibbler" or they would be expelled.

This has made more students curious about what the magazine actually published.

Crabbe and Goyle did not see the magazine until the evening and immediately tore it up in anger.

Gloria and Draco went back to the lounge in the evening and saw this scene.

Crabbe's foot stomped on the paper fragments like a small boat, and the fat on his face trembled.

Theodore, on the other hand, didn't show much expression, and his eyes were filled with a hint of disgust as he looked at the magazine.

"Why tear it up?" Draco teased maliciously, "I remember you were very proud that your family members worked for the mysterious man, and you wanted to inform the whole school. Now you are so angry, don't you like serving your master?"

Goyle was panting like an angry bull, but he didn't dare to attack him. "Don't be too proud. The Dark Lord will not let the Malfoy family go!"

This was not the first time Draco had heard such words. When he decided to stand by Gloria, he had already known the consequences.

"Can you put it another way? I'm worried that you guys went to Azkaban before the You-Know-Who showed up."

"When he gets it..." Crabbe almost said something impulsively, but was stopped by Daphne's strong tug on his sleeve.

"What did you get?" Gloria asked curiously.

Crabbe inexplicably straightened his chest and said in a gruff voice, "It's none of your business!"

Anyone could see that he was guilty.

Gloria glanced at the people in front of her, "Next time, don't yell in the lounge that the Dark Lord will not let anyone go. If you are really interested, I am willing to take you to Umbridge's office. I believe she needs such a credit."

Daphne said: "We just saw something in the magazine."

"Don't talk about the magazine." Gloria's eyes were indifferent. "If Umbridge deducts Slytherin's credits because of this, it will be your fault."

Pansy couldn't help but stand up and said, "So what if she knew? Fudge is so scared that he doesn't even dare to admit the fact that the Dark Lord has returned. Umbridge is just a dog around Fudge, so she doesn't dare to investigate such things."

She stared at Gloria with eyes full of anger and jealousy, "When the Dark Lord is ready, no one will be able to stop him. Last time was an accident. This time he will rule the wizarding world, and all of you - pure-blood traitors - will be liquidated."

Gloria's eyes were filled with infinite coldness. "If you are qualified to see him, tell him that I am waiting—"

Draco sneered, "Do you really think we don't realize the situation we are facing next? As for the war, we have been preparing for it since we knew that the mysterious man was not dead."
