I, the Dark Lord, will definitely be a good principal!

What should we do?

Dumbledore laughed, seemingly quite pleased with Angle's use of the word "we".

He took another chocolate frog from the bag Angel was holding.

“We don’t need to do anything anymore, Angell.”

“I remember you did as I told you to order every newspaper you could think of.”

Angel nodded: "Yes, I've even subscribed to 'The Witches' Weekly' and 'The Complete Book of Flying Broomsticks'..."

"Before I left, I asked Hermione to receive my newspapers. I didn't expect it to take so long... so I haven't read them for a while now. Hmm... but I hope they can read them too!"

"Three weeks, but even before that, you should have seen that there are already too many people who are dissatisfied with the Ministry of Magic's educational reforms."

"And these people are mostly parents who received the students' letters, well... not including some people, namely Fudge's loyal supporters."

"For most wizards, they don't really understand what the Hogwarts educational reforms are all about, and they can only blindly believe the information in the Daily Prophet."

Angel nodded; he had long anticipated this outcome.

"But isn't the Daily Prophet now filled with comments supporting educational reform and arguing that Hogwarts' previous education was chaotic and a failure?"

Dumbledore blinked: "Public opinion is the convergence of the masses' subjective perceptions and evaluations of objective things. It is not a purely objective reflection of things, but rather a product of collective thinking..."

"Indeed, Fudge understands this very well, so he tried to use public opinion to hold me hostage, to hold Hogwarts hostage, to make more people believe that the events at the end of the school year were orchestrated by me in order to seize power and profit, and that under the leadership of an old madman like me, Hogwarts is about to be destroyed!"

Angor looked up at Dumbledore, and by then, he probably already guessed what Dumbledore had been doing all that time.

"Most people feel anxious about the burden of free choice when facing a complex world, and public opinion seems to offer an easy way out."

"Yes, that's the current state of the wizarding world. Many people have long since given up thinking and completely believe the information in the newspapers."

“So…” Angel frowned, pretending to be still thinking, “what we need to do now is to get more people access to more information, so that they are no longer led by the nose by the Daily Prophet?”

Dumbledore nodded: "That's about it!"

"During the three weeks I was away, I did this. I visited the editorial offices of many newspapers one by one, asking them to open their eyes and report some real and useful information."

"Of course... I also took a trip to Weymouth. If you had written to me as soon as you got home, I probably could have taken you with me. The clock tower built by Queen Victoria is really nice. You can overlook the waterfront promenade and the entrance from the top of the clock tower!"

Angell: "?"

Dumbledore went to visit those newspapers, and while he was at it... went on vacation?

This is very Dumbledore.

However, if Umbridge knew what Dumbledore was really doing, she'd probably be furious.

"Alright, let's get back to the point. It seems that our senior investigator doesn't understand the principle of moderation."

"Everything has a process of quantitative change leading to qualitative change. For example, courage is a virtue, but excessive courage can turn into recklessness."

"If the Ministry of Magic is willing to take at least four to five years to gradually issue these current education orders, then I will really be very troubled..."

"But in just one semester, they've enacted so many laws. I can only say they're incredibly arrogant!"

“We don’t actually need to do anything, because what needed to be done has already been done. We just need to wait for the public opinion against them to erupt, and everything will return to normal.”

By this time, they had arrived at the oak door, and Dumbledore pushed it open.

"Alright, you should go back now. Your friends must be really looking forward to seeing you!"

Angel nodded: "Then... teacher, shall we have class tonight?"

“I’ve finished reading the book you gave me, and I’ve been practicing all along. Mom… although you won’t let me leave my room and you’ve taken away my wand, you haven’t restricted me from using the owl, so I’ve been practicing!”

Dumbledore's gaze toward Angle became complicated.

He sighed, "I've indeed been away for too long this time. I need to take care of some things tonight. Let's start classes tomorrow!"

“Yes, teacher!” Angel’s tone was clearly pleased.

During the days when Dumbledore was away, he thought about Dumbledore every day. Wasn't it all for this moment?

Just as Angor stepped down the stairs, heading towards the Slytherin common room, a figure, accompanied by a joyful yet terrified cry, crashed head-on into him.

"Angol, finally we're back!!!"

Angell turned around and saw Draco, who had lost his balance on the stairs, hurtling towards him with pinpoint accuracy.

He swore he had tried his best to avoid it, but now he was carrying a huge brown paper bag full of candy and a backpack full of books on his back.

After walking this far, Angel felt like he was about to die.

(An even more serious problem is that Dumbledore is still not far away.)

then--

He lay on his back on the ground, the candy he was holding scattered all over the floor. Fortunately, his backpack cushioned his fall, preventing the back of his head from making intimate contact with the ground.

Ingres was seriously contemplating life.

This is the third time!!!

Now Angor is very skeptical of the prophecy that only one of Harry and Voldemort can survive, because he has merged with other souls, and therefore some subtle changes have occurred in him.

For example, it became a situation where only one of him and Draco could survive.

The Ministry of Magic's Strategy and Outlook: An Interview with Minister Cornelius Fudge by Rita Skeeter

In the mysterious and complex world of magic, every move of the Ministry of Magic is closely watched.

Recently, I, Rita Skeeter, had the privilege of conducting an exclusive interview with Minister for Magic Cornelius Fudge, revealing the deep considerations behind the Ministry's decisions and its plans for the future.

Our interview took place in the Minister for Magic's imposing, spacious, and luxurious office. The portraits of past Ministers for Magic adorned the surrounding walls with solemnity, as if they too were listening to this conversation concerning the fate of the wizarding world.

Minister Fouché, dressed in an elegant purple robe and wearing his signature pointed hat, exuded the demeanor of a leader with his gentle yet dignified smile.

When discussing his overall goals since becoming Minister for Magic, Minister Fudge solemnly stated that the Ministry of Magic bears the important mission of maintaining peace and stability in the wizarding world.

This means ensuring that magic is used within a reasonable framework, maintaining a delicate balance between the wizarding and Muggle worlds, and properly handling matters related to magical creatures, thereby creating a safe and orderly living environment for every member of the wizarding world.

When asked about the challenges of maintaining peace in the wizarding world, Minister Fudge frowned slightly and said that the current lack of awareness among some wizards about the proper use of magic is a potential factor that could cause instability and could lead to a series of unforeseen problems.

Although there is currently no conclusive evidence of any dark forces at work, we must not let our guard down and must take precautions to prevent any potential problems.

The Ministry of Magic is also actively working on regulating the use of magic, a crucial area. Minister Fudge emphasized that the Ministry is committed to strengthening magic education and awareness, ensuring that every wizard understands that while magic is wondrous, it is a powerful force that must be strictly governed by rules.

For example, the Ministry of Magic is working closely with various magic schools to update curriculum content, with a focus on increasing educational modules on magical ethics and law. Furthermore, the Ministry of Magic will severely punish any violation of magical regulations in accordance with the law, without any leniency, in order to maintain the standardization and seriousness of magical use.

The situation at Hogwarts has always been a focus of attention in the wizarding world, especially the educational reforms implemented by Madam Umbridge at the school. Minister Fudge highly praised Madam Umbridge's work.

He pointed out that Hogwarts, as one of the most important educational institutions in the wizarding world, has long suffered from some unclear internal management issues. Madam Umbridge's arrival carries the important mission of strengthening school order and discipline. The educational decrees she implements are all carefully considered and meticulously crafted, aiming to bring Hogwarts' education back on track and help students grow into disciplined and morally upright wizards.

Minister Fudge remained firm in his stance regarding the doubts raised about the Hogwarts reforms. He believed that any reform would inevitably encounter resistance and skepticism in its initial stages, but that it should not be abandoned because of this.

These doubts stem partly from misunderstandings of the reforms, and partly from malicious instigation by those with ulterior motives. The Ministry of Magic will steadfastly support Ms. Umbridge's work to ensure the smooth progress of Hogwarts' reforms and to cultivate more outstanding talents for the future of the wizarding world.

When the topic turned to Hogwarts Headmaster Albus Dumbledore, Minister Fudge's tone became somewhat nuanced. He stated that Headmaster Dumbledore was an extremely influential figure with outstanding achievements in the field of magical education.

However, under the current circumstances, some of the Ministry of Magic's decisions have encountered difficulties in advancing Hogwarts, and Headmaster Dumbledore's attitude and actions have forced the Ministry to re-examine his role.

Minister Fudge hinted that some individuals might unintentionally or intentionally hinder the wizarding world's efforts for better development due to their influence, and hoped that all parties would prioritize the overall interests of the wizarding world.

At the end of the interview, when asked about his hopes for the future of the wizarding world, Minister Fudge's eyes filled with hope. He hoped that the wizarding world would continue to prosper, and that every wizard could practice magic in a peaceful and orderly environment. He wanted magic to be a wondrous force that benefits our world, rather than a source of destruction and chaos.

Minister Fudge firmly believes that through the Ministry of Magic's tireless efforts and the united efforts of the entire wizarding world, this beautiful vision will surely become a reality.

This exclusive interview provided us with in-depth insight into the Ministry of Magic's strategic planning and course of action. Minister Fudge demonstrated exceptional wisdom and unwavering resolve as a leader in the wizarding world.

We expect that under his leadership, the Ministry of Magic will be able to better fulfill its responsibilities and safeguard the bright future of the wizarding world.
