Harry Potter and the Great Old Ones

Chapter 448 The mastermind behind the scenes
For those pure-blooded family leaders who represent the conservative, feudal, and capitalist classes, they have lost all value in being won over.

To be precise, unless Tiera is willing to relinquish a significant amount of power to the pure-blood families within the new magical world she establishes, those pure-blood families would rather abscond with their capital than accept Tiera's new magical world.

If you don't want to accept it, then don't accept it, but there's absolutely no way you can run away with the capital.

Even if they went to another planet, Tiera could still find them.

However, such people cannot be forced. Even if they choose to submit to Tiera's force, it will inevitably become a hidden danger in the long run.

So Tiera used a classic case of feigned indifference to lure Tiera into a trap—

To put it simply, they first trap their children, and then reform them generation after generation.

In any case, Tyrell believed that once Voldemort truly gained power, they would soon start to appreciate Grindelwald's kindness.

Despite Hermione's best efforts to keep it a secret and prevent others from hearing about their secret tutoring session, something went wrong, and Dolores Umbridge eventually caught wind of it.

This prompted Umbridge, who had been working tirelessly for over half a month, to raise her head and once again turn her attention to the teaching and management of Hogwarts.

He issued the infamous Education Order No. 24, which will be recorded in later history books.

The Hogwarts Senior Investigator ordered the dissolution of all student organizations, associations, teams, and clubs.

Hereinafter, organizations, associations, teams, and clubs are defined as regular gatherings of three or more students.

You can request a reorganization from the senior investigator (Professor Dolores Umbridge).

No student organizations, associations, teams, or clubs may exist without the approval of a senior investigator.

If any student is found to have formed or participated in any organization, association, team, or club without the approval of a senior investigator, they will be expelled immediately.

Signature: Senior Investigator Dolores Jan Umbridge
The 24th Educational Order was hanging on the stone wall outside the Great Hall of Hogwarts, delivering a blow to Harry and his friends who had just returned to school from Hogsmeade Village in high spirits.

Harry and Ron read the notice over the heads of some second-year students, who looked somewhat worried.

“Will they shut down the Gobushi Club?” one of them asked his friend.

“I think your Gaobushi is definitely alright,” Ron said with a gloomy face, startling the second-year student.

“But we might not be so lucky, don’t you think?” he asked Harry, as the second-year student hurried away.

Harry reread the notice, his joy from Saturday vanishing, and exclaimed indignantly, "This is no coincidence!"

Harry clenched his fist and said, "She knows."

“Impossible,” Ron immediately retorted. “There are too many people and too many noises in the bar. Let’s face the facts. We don’t know how many people there can be trusted. Anyone could run to Umbridge and tell on us.”

“Maybe it’s Zacharys Smith…maybe it’s Michael Corner! And maybe it’s…” Harry angrily rattled off the names one by one, feeling increasingly frustrated.

At that moment, he thought, "If Tiera were here, she would surely come up with a more comprehensive solution."

Harry and Ron didn't even finish their meal before rushing back to the Gryffindor tower to find Hermione.

“Someone must have snitched!” Ron said angrily after telling Hermione about the “Education Order No. 24” hanging on the stone wall. “We think it could be Zacharys Smith, or Michael Corner, or more likely they’re both cheating on each other!”

“Impossible,” Hermione said resolutely.

“You’re so naive,” Ron said. “You think it’s just because you’re honest and reliable—”

“No, impossible, because I put a spell on the parchment we signed,” Hermione said seriously. “Believe me, if anyone goes to inform on us to Umbridge, we’ll know, and they’ll really regret it.” “What will happen to them?” Ron asked eagerly.

“Hmm…that’s a magic spell I learned from Tierra…that curse…makes the informer’s face grow…grown…something terrifying…” Hermione hesitated for a moment.

“Let’s go, let’s go have dinner and see what others think. We also need to discuss the training location with everyone.” Hermione seemed reluctant to continue the topic, but Harry could tell from her expression that she seemed very confident in the spell she had cast on the paper.

Harry, Hermione, and Ron sensed a peculiar tension as soon as they entered the Great Hall. There was a constant chatter and chaos as people ran around discussing what they had seen.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione had just sat down when Neville, Dean, Fred, George, and Ginny rushed over.

"Did you see it?"

Do you think she knows?

"what should we do?"

They were all looking at Harry.

Harry glanced around to make sure there were no teachers nearby.

“Of course we’ll still do it,” he whispered.

“I knew you’d say that.” George grinned and slapped Harry’s arm hard.

"Are the prefects going to do that too?" Fred asked Ron and Hermione with a question in his eyes.

“Of course,” Hermione said calmly. “We need to decide on a training location as soon as possible.”

“How about the Screaming House?” Ginny asked.

“It’s too small,” Harry said. “It can’t fit twenty-nine people.”

“Then…the Forbidden Forest?” Hermione suggested again.

"No!" This time it was Ron. "Impossible, no way! It's too scary there! I'd rather die than go."

“Hmm… Harry, what if Umbridge really finds out…?” Neville asked.

"Heh...who cares?" Hermione sneered. "Anyway...I mean...isn't this pretty exciting? Breaking school rules and stuff."

"Who are you? What did you do to Hermione?" Ron asked, half-jokingly and half-surprised.

“Okay,” Harry said, “we’ll think about it carefully over the next few days…where we can practice…hmm…I think it would be best to find a place to practice by this Friday…”

“I’ll write to Little…” Harry paused, then said, “I’ll write to Bigfoot… to see if he knows anything about the secret rooms in Hogwarts.”

“Yes.” Hermione nodded. “We’ll help with the search as well.”

Then Hermione reached out and pulled out a handful of her messy hair, saying in annoyance:

How exactly did Umbridge discover this?

……

"Hehe..." Sitting in the principal's office, Tiera cut off a piece of bloody steak, dipped it in the sauce beside her, and then stuffed it into her mouth, swallowing it with satisfaction. "It wouldn't be good if Umbridge got too caught up in his side hustle and neglected his main job..."
