HP: White Lord of Slytherin

Chapter 217 Application approved

The notice issued on Monday made Gloria realize that Harry and his team's actions had been exposed.

Whether it was because some students saw it or reported it, or because Umbridge was spying on them, at least on the surface they couldn't get together at school.

Now all organizations and clubs in the school must reapply, including the Slytherin Club established by Gloria.

Immediately, all organizations in the school, big and small, began to reapply, and they were required to clearly state in writing the organization’s initiator, the nature of the organization, the significance of the event, etc.

Gloria did not submit the application immediately, but waited until all the morning classes were over before she started writing.

Since the application has not been approved yet, club members are unable to go to the secret room and can only stay in the lounge.

She met people from the other three colleges on the way with the list in her hand. Most of them had dejected expressions on their faces. She knew without asking that their applications had been rejected.

"She did it on purpose, not letting us pass."

"There is no other way. We have to pass it to continue organizing gatherings for students."

"This is so annoying. I'm going to write a letter home..."

Complaints like these never stopped along the way.

When we reached the door, a tall dark-skinned girl came out. It was Angelina from Gryffindor. She seemed to be here to apply for the team.

"Oh, Gloria, you've applied too." She forced a smile.

"That's right." Gloria nodded. "Your application was not approved?"

Angelina lowered her head in disappointment. "Yeah... This is the fifth time my application has been rejected in one morning. They only told me to change the content of my application, but didn't tell me what to change."

In order to get the team back on the field for training as soon as possible, she didn't even pay much attention in class.

As for the application, there is nothing that needs to be changed. I simply don’t want the team’s application to be approved.

Gloria patted the extremely responsible captain and said, "She can't delay the application forever. I suggest you talk to Professor McGonagall."

Angelina said, "I'm planning to tell the professor when I get back. You should be careful, too. She has rejected many applications. Regarding your relationship with Harry...she will definitely not agree."

"Thank you." Gloria asked, "Is anyone inside?"

"No, you go ahead." Angelina made way, thinking that she might fail as well.

Watching the people leave quickly, Gloria felt that the team's application would definitely be approved, but not now. Umbridge would at least delay it until before the Gryffindor team's first game.

She knocked on the door, and a brisk response came from inside: "Come in."

Umbridge, who was flipping through the parchments one by one, felt refreshed when she saw the person coming.

The Quidditch team could at most be delayed, but as for an organization like a club, if she disagreed, the club must be disbanded.

"Professor, my club application."

Gloria put the application form on the table, and Umbridge stared at it for a long time without saying anything.

After a while, he said, "I need to think about it carefully."

Gloria stood at the table and looked at her, "Are you sure?"

Umbridge was stunned for a moment, but soon realized that this was not a punishment and she could not return it. She said cheerfully, "The application will take time to review."

Gloria was still a student and had no say or power in the Ministry of Magic. Lucius Malfoy had been abandoned by Fudge and could not help.

In school, she is just one of the school directors, and her say is ultimately no match for the Ministry of Magic.

"I will definitely review and investigate this organization." Umbridge's tone slowed down. "If it does not comply with the regulations, then the club must be disbanded."

She already knew about Slytherin House because the girl in front of her showed signs of splitting.

Now Umbridge intends to win over Crabbe and others.

Gloria opened her mouth to say something, but was interrupted by her voice.

"Of course it's possible to get approval." Umbridge's eyes were vicious. "If you are willing to continue the detention that was forced to end before, I can consider giving you a pass."

Gloria didn't believe a single word that came out of this toad's mouth.

Umbridge just felt relaxed physically and mentally. In fact, Fudge was still unwilling to give up trying to win over Gloria, but she hated this girl too much.

Pureblood, beautiful, powerful, with a boyfriend of equally noble birth.

These are the qualities she has always dreamed of...

The most important thing is to openly oppose her.

Gloria glanced at the familiar sharp feather pen placed beside her, pulled out a chair and sat down.

Umbridge suddenly felt excited. She finally had the power to make the noble Slytherin bow his head!

Gloria stared at her with a half-smile, "I've seen your career advancement over the years, and it seems to be relatively smooth. Is it because of your father?"

At the mention of the word father, Umbridge's face froze, but she tried to remain calm.

"We're talking about the club application."

Topics about family always make her extremely nervous.

"It takes more than ten years to become the Senior Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Magic. This is not something that ordinary people can do." Gloria's smile did not reach her eyes. "It's just that the surname Umbridge..."

Umbridge remembered that she had said she had investigated herself.

"This has nothing to do with you, your application is rejected, get out now!"

"The only Umbridge in the Ministry of Magic is Alford Umbridge, of the Maintenance Department."

With just these few words, all the color disappeared from Umbridge's face.

Gloria continued, "As for Cranell, I haven't heard of him among the pure-blood families in Britain. I remember you always claimed to be of pure-blood origin."

She already knew about Umbridge's family background. Her father was a Muggle wizard who possessed magic and studied at Hogwarts. However, due to an engagement arranged by her family at that time, she married Alan Crannell, a Muggle who had no magic.

The two were forced to get married and had two children. Only Umbridge had magical aptitude, and her son was a Squib. As a daughter, she deeply hated her Muggle mother and Squib brother, and of course she also despised her unenterprising father.

Therefore, for many years in the Ministry of Magic, she had tried her best to clarify that she had nothing to do with Umbridge, the cleaner.

Crannell was Umbridge's mother's surname, and now she was sure that Gloria had really investigated her family background.

Umbridge's lips trembled. She was most afraid of these things being exposed.

Gloria leaned forward slightly and said softly, "To be honest, I don't like trouble. If the professor insists on targeting me, I don't mind finding another opponent to come to school."

She leaned back in her chair, "As for you, you will have to be kicked out of this match between Hogwarts and the Ministry of Magic."

Umbridge's big, fat hands squeezed tightly, and it took a long time before she slowly loosened her grip.

"After consideration, your club's application has been approved."

Gloria spread her hands, "Thank you, Professor——"

Umbridge understood that Gloria had never taken her seriously, but she also saw that this girl did not want to intervene in everything. For example, this time she did not ask for the Gryffindor team's application to be approved together with the warning.

Gloria took the signed form and said, "Sorry to bother you, Professor. I hope our relationship can remain so 'friendly'."

Umbridge remained silent and did not respond, reminding herself in her heart that she must not confront this Slytherin before the Ministry of Magic had full control of Hogwarts.

Keep waiting...
