Chapter 347: Angry into anger

Umbridge's words made Mike's brows frowned.
As the oldest wizarding school in Europe, Hogwarts is backed by the Ministry of Magic and twelve directors with amazing net worth. The total amount of funds allocated to Hogwarts each year by 13 parties can be described by astronomical figures.
Of course, the money these people gave to Hogwarts was not free. As investors in Hogwarts, the school board and the Ministry of Magic were actually Hogwarts’ bosses in theory. The students that Ci went out should remember the names of the Ministry of Magic and these families, because it is because of the existence of these people that they can learn magic knowledge at such a low price.
And the most fundamental reason for these people to invest in Hogwarts is exactly the same. On the one hand, they can use the investment in Hogwarts to promote their reputation and ensure that their family’s descendants get a certain degree in Hogwarts. For example, in the Hogwarts Express, there is a section of the school board for the school board’s children.
On the other hand, they are to buy out the students who have walked out of Hogwarts, so that they can become the help of their own family and power.
But all this changed after Dumbledore became the principal. Dumbledore’s strength so strong that it could crush almost everything allowed him to act recklessly in Hogwarts. Even if the school directors had the theory to call out at any time Dumbledore's power did not dare to do so.
At the same time, Dumbledore also upholds the concept of equality for all and treats all students equally. This behavior makes him the most beloved principal of students, and also makes the children of school directors lose the so-called privileges and most importantly. The thing is, the students who have graduated from Hogwarts since then only recognize Dumbledore and not the school directors who paid for it.
It is also for this reason. Although Mike currently has the qualifications to become the headmaster of Hogwarts, he has no idea of ​​joining in at all.
He doesn't want to be taken advantage of!
Mike originally thought that problems such as the lack of materials for Hogwarts advanced courses were because school managers were dissatisfied with Hogwarts and reduced their capital investment.
Or is this a restriction specially made by the Ministry of Magic in order to stabilize the class.
But now listening to Umbridge say this, it seems that this is not the case.
"You mean, the funds that the Ministry of Magic and school directors inject into Hogwarts every year are abundant, enough to meet the curriculum needs of all senior students?"
"Yes, there is no doubt about this!" Umbridge said excitedly. "The homes of the Ministry of Magic and the other twelve school directors have receipts and ledgers for funds injected into Hogwarts every year, so if you If what is said is true, then the only problem is within Hogwarts."
Mike was silent, he thought of the Order of the Phoenix.
Maintaining an elite anti-Voldemort organization requires a lot of money, so could Dumbledore embezzle Hogwarts' public funds to fight Voldemort?
Shaking his head, Mike didn't want to continue thinking about it, because this idea was constantly subverting the magnificent image of Dumbledore in his mind.
The opposite Umbridge also gradually calmed down at this moment. She narrowed her smile and made a rare face and said seriously:
"I will investigate the issue of corruption at Hogwarts. Let's get to the point. Mike, you must have noticed that my attitude towards you is very different from that of others."
Mike nodded.
"What I want you to understand is that I did this not because I was afraid of your strength or revenge, but because I was very good-looking and respected you. You are a very good child, you not only won the championship in the Triwizard Tournament. Won the glory for the Ministry of Magic of the country. He also founded the Los Santos Group and made it grow into a behemoth in just a few years.
Compared with the former, it is even more rare. You must know that this is not the time when the mysterious person just disappeared. Today's society is already in a fairly stable state, but you still came out!
Your Los Santos Group has provided jobs for thousands of people and made outstanding contributions to the stability of society. Although you are a Muggle-born little wizard, you have made outstanding contributions to the wizarding world. Contribution, this is why I respect you.
But although I respect you, you can't act recklessly. I know that you are a kind-hearted child. The implementation of the ‘Los Santo’s Educational Aid Program’ is just to help those students who are in difficulty, but now things are gradually out of your control. In order to get this thing back on track, I hope you can stop this plan! But you don't have to worry about those classmates. As the Deputy Minister of Magic, I can assure you that the Ministry will definitely shoulder its own responsibilities, so that these students will have a good learning environment! "
The words of Umbridge in front of him were impassioned, spitting and sincere, so Mike couldn't help but believe that what she said was the truth.
If it were someone else, maybe she would really be stunned by her rainbow fart.
But Mike was different. He was familiar with the original, and knew from the beginning what kind of person Umbridge was and what purpose he came to this school with.
So when Umbridge finished speaking and looked at herself with expectant eyes, Mike didn't immediately agree as she imagined, but showed a sardonic smile and said:
"Sorry, I refuse."
"Mike, I have to remind you that what I said just now was not joking with you." Umbridge continued, "What you have done has made the Ministry very dissatisfied. If you continue to be so obsessed, I will definitely We will impose sanctions on you in a tougher posture. Don’t forget, I’m a professor, but I’m just a student now!"
"No, you won't."
Mike changed his sitting posture to make himself more comfortable, then took out a picture from the non-marking stretch curse bag he carried and threw it in front of Umbridge.
This photo is not a magical photo with moving characters, which is commonly used in the wizarding world, but an ordinary Muggle photo. Even due to the long period of time, many places on this photo have begun to spread. Yellow.
But despite this, the pattern on the photo is still clearly visible.
Umbridge lowered his head and looked at the photo, only to see a family portrait of a family of four.
This should be a very happy family. The wife is cuddling with her husband, and their faces are full of smiles. In front of them were two siblings, a man and a woman. The sister was putting her hand on her brother's shoulder and smiling very happily, even showing eight white teeth with braces.
And the little girl with braces is surprisingly the Umbridge of her childhood!
The look of surprise flashed across Umbridge's face, replaced by an expression of anger, and she was hysterically reaching out to grab the photo.
The action was so great that it even knocked over the three-tier tray on the small round table.
Mike didn't panic when he saw it. He snapped his fingers playfully, and a transparent shield appeared in front of him, blocking the splashing food and utensils.
With the sound of broken porcelain, the room was immediately messed up, and the cat's patterns were faintly visible on the ceramic shards on the ground, but the incomplete patterns looked very hideous at this moment, just like their owners at this moment. Looks like that.
Looking at Umbridge, who looked red in front of his eyes and became more like a toad, the playful color on Mike's face became more intense, he stood up and said in a strange tone of yin and yang:
"Wow! Don't worry, this photo was originally given to you. After all, I still have a lot of such photos, and they are enough to cover the entire Diagon Alley."
"You...you think you can threaten me with this?"
Umbridge gasped and spoke fiercely, still clutching the crumpled photo in his hand.
Umbridge is a true politician. For such a person, there is nothing that cannot be abandoned. Their eyes are only the exchange of interests. If Mike's request is too excessive, I believe Umbridge will definitely do nothing. Don't hesitate to refuse, even if Mike really preached that Umbridge was a hybrid thing afterwards, as he said at the beginning, the whole world knew it.
Mike naturally knew the truth, so he didn't choose to push the opponent too tightly, just said lightly:
"Relax, Professor Umbridge. I didn't mean that. In fact, I just wanted to make a small deal with you, and this (Mike gave a family portrait) is my sincerity."
"Ha! Then you are still full of sincerity!" Umbridge took the shot before the photo landed, and then gritted his teeth and said, "Say what you want!"
"It's very simple," Mike put a smile away and stepped forward to Umbridge, and said coldly, looking at her condescendingly, "Don't mess with my people!"
Umbridge didn't panic at all, tilted his head up and sneered:
"Your people? So you are admitting that the group of people in the mutual aid association are completely yours?"
"You can understand this." Mike's mouth curled slightly. "You just need to ignore these people. It's not too difficult for you, right? And I will assure you that these people will never Come take the initiative to provoke you. Then you can spend the year satisfactorily and return to the Ministry of Magic with an excellent report card."
"Sounds pretty good." A smile appeared on Umbridge's face. "But there is another problem, that is Harry Potter, is he your own?"
"No, he doesn't count."
Mike's answer made Umbridge stunned for a moment, but the opposite Mike turned around and said while pacing:
"He and his friends are not in our trading scope. You can deal with them as you wish. Even, I hope you can increase your efforts!"
"This is really..."
Umbridge murmured, and Mike's words made her wonder what to say.
According to the information she had gathered before, Mike and Harry should be a pair of very good friends, but now it seems that this is not the case.
At the very least, Mike didn't regard Harry Potter as his friend.
"Your relationship is really good!"
Umbridge, who had been muttering for a long time, finally sneered.
"Then your answer?"
"I promise you, but you must also promise me that those photos will never appear in other people's hands." Umbridge said, "If I see those photos in other people's places, whether you gave them or not, I will come to you to settle accounts!"
"A word is for sure. Then, happy cooperation."
Mike smiled and stretched out his hand to Umbridge, while Umbridge was cold and shook Mike's big hand reluctantly.
...
Outside the office of the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, Harry and Ron were hiding in the shadows and staring at the office door.
As time passed, Ron became more and more impatient, and he asked Harry to take out his pocket watch over and over again to check the time (he didn't own a pocket watch).
Until Ron let Harry watch the time for the fourth time, Harry finally couldn't help it, and muffled his voice:
"Ron, can you be quiet."
"Isn't I in a hurry?" Ron also whispered, "Hey, you said Mike has been in for so long, did something happen? If you want me to say, let's break in!"
While speaking, Ron walked out to hit the door, and Harry hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.
However, when the two of them were pulling and pulling, the door of the office suddenly opened.
"Um, Mike, Professor Umbridge?"
Harry hurriedly put the hand holding Ron's neck behind his back, and said timidly, "We are just passing by."
"They are here to pick me up."
Mike smiled and said to Umbridge, and when he heard that Harry and Ron had shocked faces, they didn't expect Mike to sell them like this.
However, the more exciting ones are yet to come.
Umbridge said with a disgusting smirk:
"Really? Your relationship is really good!"
Umbridge's tone was quite artificial, how could Mike know that she was deliberately mocking herself.
But he didn't have any seizures either, just smiled and nodded.
"Then I won't keep you~EbookFREE.me~ Be safe on the road."
"Don't worry, Professor."
Mike said goodbye to Umbridge, and then left the office with Harry and Ron.
After turning a corner, Ron couldn't help it. He pressed his voice and said in surprise:
"When did your relationship become so good?"
Harry was obviously more concerned with other things, and asked immediately:
"How are you talking, did Umbridge agree to change the teaching goals?"
"I'm sorry, Harry," Mike said apologetically to Harry, ignoring Ron. "Umbridge's attitude is very tough. Maybe we have to find another way."
"Really?" Harry was a little disappointed. "But Umbridge isn't too bad from just now, isn't it? At least she is willing to come to see you off, and she doesn't seem to be tortured. Maybe we pick it up. The days to come will not get too bad."
Mike smiled, he looked at Harry without speaking.
Harry is still too optimistic, it is absolutely impossible for him to get through the rest of the day!
