After threatening to stop the Ministry of Magic's education funding, Umbridge saw the new school director, a school director who was so beautiful that she was jealous to death. She smiled softly and said lightly: "Stop it." No matter how much money is allocated, my Naama family will subsidize double the funds."

"Since the Ministry of Magic has decided to stop funding, our Hogwarts should also turn into a private school." Lucius continued: "We will issue an announcement tomorrow. Since the Ministry of Magic announced the cancellation of the only funded school in the UK, it will be cancelled. All students must also conform to the values ​​of the 13 school directors and principals, and all faculty and staff must unconditionally accept the orders of the school directors.”

Umbridge is going to explode! The Ministry of Magic receives sky-high military expenditures from the Muggle authorities, but not a penny is under the jurisdiction of the Minister. The current Financial Secretary is nominally under the jurisdiction of the Malfoy family, but anyone with a discerning eye knows that the financial power is also in the hands of Dumbledore.

Now every expenditure in the minister's office is also supervised by a small clerk. He is Percy Weasley, who has just been in office for one year!

This is a man who is extremely power-hungry and should have been the focus of the minister's faction. However, just when Umbridge was planning to leave him idle for two weeks, she unexpectedly was recruited by the Malfoy family as the financial accountant the next day, and almost controlled the entire Ministry of Magic's accounts.

Now, apart from the position of minister, the person with the greatest administrative power is this middle-level accountant - he does not have any decision-making power, but he has the funds needed to stop any decision-making, which is the financial veto power.

No one with a right mind would give up his position as Finance Secretary and join the minister's faction.

However, as the minister's confidant, this small setback will definitely not trouble Umbridge. In addition to continuing to implement the minister's decree, she also needs to hide like a python, waiting for her opponent to reveal flaws before launching a fatal blow.

After resuming practical classes in the afternoon, do I still need to establish a D.A.?

A group of students soon saw that the professor of "Defense Against the Dark Arts" had turned back into dear Fleur, and the teaching content was also condensed a lot, all of which were practical training, because all the theoretical content was read in Umbridge's class. What puzzled the students was that the practical lesson she taught was renamed "Confronting Dark Arts", but the content remained unchanged at all.

In the corridor after class, Harry curiously asked Miss Know-It-All: "Why do you want to change your name?"

But the young lady said disdainfully: "Are you afraid that you will be cursed by a mysterious person after one year of teaching?"

"Can changing the name break this curse of ignorance?" Ron asked doubtfully.

Hermione rolled her eyes at him and continued to talk to the book: "Professors Bin and Flitwick have also taught "Defense Against the Dark Arts" in club activities for three years, and they have not been kicked out? As long as they are not officially teaching this subject. Professor, the curse won't hurt them."

The next day, the front page news of the Daily Prophet was "Military Invasion of Campus, War Madman - Dumbledore".

The editorial news also constantly exaggerates the horror of the Civil Security Corps, which is all speculation and doubt. Anyone with a discerning eye will know at a glance that it is vilifying Dumbledore. However, this article received little response because no one expected that Dumbledore had already prepared a backup plan.

In fact, this was not his backhand, but Chen Bin had lobbied him to open a newspaper when he was in second grade. The main reason why we didn't do it at that time was that Lao Deng had no money or professional staff, and his relationship with Fudge was very good, so he didn't need public opinion guidance at all.

After intimidating Fudge in the third grade, Chen Bin once again asked Lao Deng to set up a publishing house, and Chen Bin also paid for the initial investment. It took a year of preparation and a lot of people were recruited, but now it is finally put to use. Lao Deng announced the release of the Hogwarts Evening News that morning and would send it to wizarding families across the country for free.

The initial issue of this newspaper is already much thicker than that of the Daily Prophet. 70% of the content is serialized articles and columns, and 30% of the content is news. Its only function is to specifically target the false reports of the Daily Prophet, and secondly to update the latest news about Hogwarts every day.

The editor-in-chief of the newspaper is none other than Charlie Weasley, the editorial department is staff hired back with a high salary a year ago, the reporters are squibs and Hogwarts ghosts all over the country, and the printing is handled by the house elves from Hogwarts. They will even send newspapers to the Ministry of Magic in Western Europe for them to give to local residents for free.

If you print a newspaper, you will lose one copy, so from the day of publication, the 13th school director took over the operation. Anyway, they can really afford to lose. The annual rent of 30 million yuan can support this newspaper with just a little bit.

Therefore, before parents sent a ranting letter to Old Deng, they already received the Hogwarts Evening News in the evening. The headline was a refutation of the Daily Prophet, and it also included a large amount of classroom materials, activity introductions and other news. There was no need to wait for the next day, and everyone in the wizarding world knew that Fudge had even lost the battle of public opinion.

The students participated in the evening club activities and mock battles as usual, and no one noticed that a large group of foreign wizards quietly entered the newly completed military headquarters.

This building is connected to the new teaching building. Its appearance is also a two-story castle-style cabin, but it is much larger inside. It has hundreds of dormitories blessed by the traceless stretching spell, as well as more than ten training grounds, and a huge meeting room.

In addition to the thirty-five members of the "Authorized Royal Regiment" living in the dormitory, there were also more than twenty national defense students staying in the dormitory that night. They are Auror representatives from various countries. They come here to receive new Auror training, and then apply these methods in their respective magical worlds.

In the spacious conference room, there are three levels of stairs that rise in sequence. These steps are horseshoe-shaped oak seats. There is also a small table in front of each seat, all facing the oval table at the end.

Chairman Dumbledore read out four items in succession, two were rejected and two were passed.

Then, during the ten-minute break, he closed his eyes and rested, feeling really tired.

After the short break, the civilian staff had summarized the losses of various wizarding communities, and Dumbledore read them out.
