Chapter 233 Double Act

"Professor, are you looking for me?"

Pushing open the door of the room full of pink and lace, Lu Yunkai had a polite smile on his face.

Then, he was stunned.

The pink decorations and small ornaments in the room were gone.

The room was clean and tidy, and when Lu Yunkai remembered what Lupin looked like when he worked in this office two years ago.

What does it mean?

"Sit down." Umbridge answered casually, pointing to a box with drawers next to her with her wand.

The drawer was closed and the box was folded up.

"Are you packing?"

"I plan to submit my application for resignation as the headmaster of Hogwarts to the Ministry of Magic." Umbridge said lightly: "It's good to pack up your things in advance."

"...You are leaving?"

Lu Yunkai was really a little surprised.

"After what happened yesterday, the news of the mysterious man's return that the Ministry had been suppressing can no longer be suppressed. Someone has to be held responsible." Umbridge sighed softly, "The Minister should formally resign in the next few days. There is no need for me to stay in Hogwarts."

"...The Minister is going to resign?"

Lu Yunkai raised his eyelids.

Finally willing to resign? ? This is a good thing! ! That Minister of Magic, Lu Yunkai has really tolerated him for a long time.

"It's a pity, but it's not a bad thing." Umbridge nodded, "He has become more and more unscrupulous in the past two years and has offended many people. His going down has helped us reduce a lot of burdens."

"Oh."

Lu Yunkai nodded calmly.

The disgust for Umbridge in his heart has reached a new level.

I'm afraid that anyone in the whole of England can say this about Fudge, but you can't say that, right?

If he didn't listen to you, why would you stand in the whole position? Don't you know how disgusting those educational orders are?

This person really has no gratitude at all!

Terrible.

"I'll wait for you at the Ministry of Magic." Umbridge had her signature fake smile on her face and continued, "Don't let me down."

"I'll try my best." Lu Yunkai smiled.

"Here, for you." Umbridge took out a roll of parchment from the drawer and handed it to Lu Yunkai.

"...What is this?"

"A letter of protest." Umbridge said with a smile: "You can ask your owl to send this letter to the Ministry of Magic. I have already written the address for you."

"Protest letter??"

"Well, the content is mainly to protest what I did in school." Umbridge nodded.

"...What do you mean?" Lu Yunkai's brows were twisted together.

"After I go back to the Ministry to apply for transfer, there will definitely be someone who will write this kind of protest letter. It's better for me to arrange one of my own people in advance." Umbridge continued with a smile: "This way I can control the content of the protest."

"Will you not cause trouble for yourself?"

"If you are not in the Ministry of Magic, you will not understand what kind of things are unforgivable and what kind of things no one cares about." Umbridge looked calm and calm, "Even the same situation, told in two different ways, will be two completely different things in other people's ears. Instead of letting those who don't know how to tell stories to make trouble for me, it's better for me to tell one myself."

"..." Lu Yunkai was silent.

"This is also a lesson I teach you for free." Umbridge looked at Lu Yunkai's uncertain expression and said with a smile: "You can read this letter carefully when you go back and experience it."

"Okay."

Lu Yunkai put away the parchment.

"Okay, nothing else. Finally, I wish you good luck in your OWLS exam."

"Thank you for teaching... Deputy Minister." Lu Yunkai changed the address.

Umbridge smiled and nodded, watching Lu Yunkai leave.

…

After coming out of Umbridge's office, Lu Yunkai almost immediately took out the parchment.

He walked towards the Owl Tower while looking at it.

Watch carefully and experience it carefully? Lu Yunkai actually didn't have much interest.

Although he could accept and understand the things Umbridge said in principle, it didn't mean that he was interested in learning how to do it specifically.

Work in the Ministry of Magic?

Thank you, Lu Yunkai is completely uninterested now.

That place is really dirty. I'm not poor, why jump into the cesspool!

But even so, Lu Yunkai was still shocked by Umbridge's letter of protest on the way from Umbridge's office to the tower.

The angry feelings jumped out of the paper, but there was no actual "crime" that could be blamed in the whole article. Reading the whole article, this letter is just a statement, not an accusation.

Understand it from another perspective. Lu Yunkai's complaint against Umbridge only involves stance, not behavior.

Lu Yunkai wrote this letter to protest only because Umbridge opposed Dumbledore.

Without even thinking about it, Lu Yunkai understood the logic behind it: you can have a stance when working in the Ministry of Magic, but you can't have bad deeds.

Once the reason for Umbridge's complaint is fixed on the issue of stance, then everything will be classified as standing in the same line, so she had to send this letter to Lu Yunkai so early...

Moreover, this is definitely not a bad thing for Lu Yunkai. After all, taking sides requires flags, just like Voldemort and Dumbledore, they are two flags, the Death Eaters, and the organization called the Order of the Phoenix that McGonagall accidentally told Lu Yunkai before. It’s formed like this!

Lu Yunkai jumped out as a "representative" early at this time. If he is really interested in entering the Ministry of Magic in the future, it will undoubtedly be a great early investment.

Umbridge's move was a win-win. Therefore, she was not worried at all that Lu Yun would reject this arrangement at the meeting.

"After all, he is the deputy minister of the Ministry of Magic! No one can reach this position by a simple person!"

With a little emotion, Lu Yunkai found Sophie and tied the parchment scroll to its feet.

…

"Are you okay?"

"What can happen!"

"Then who knows! God knows what kind of madness that old witch has gone to deal with you?"

Daphne hugged Lu Yunkai's arm with worry.

The two of them were walking together on the lawn outside the castle. Of course, there were other classmates beside them.

They were going to the place where the Care of Magical Creatures class was held next to the Forbidden Forest.

Lu Yunkai did not return to the dormitory after being informed by Pansy to see Umbridge at noon. After coming down from the Owl Tower, he went to the Divination classroom to visit Trelawney again.

Trelawney still looked drunk and smelled of alcohol, and what she said to Lu Yunkai was still so out of tune, but it was really hard for Lu Yunkai to believe her like this now.

He also wanted to talk about divination, but he didn't succeed.

Perhaps, as the fangirl twins said, Trelawney had something to hide.

After staying in the divination classroom until the beginning of class, Lu Yunkai went directly to the Care of Magical Creatures class outside the castle. Daphne, who had been worried all afternoon, finally saw Lu Yunkai.

"How can she go crazy...eh? Am I dazzled? Is that Umbridge?"

Lu Yunkai narrowed his eyes and pointed at a figure floating over from the castle in the distance.

"...It's true." Seeing Umbridge's figure, Daphne immediately let go of Lu Yun's arm and moved to the side.

"What is she doing here... eh? Is she going to attend the Care of Magical Creatures class today??" Lu Yunkai became more and more surprised as he watched Umbridge getting closer and closer.

Umbridge's so-called auditing has been experienced by the entire Hogwarts students and teachers in the past six months.

That is completely looking for trouble.

Even McGonagall, who was doing the most impeccable teaching work, was once irritated by her making trouble in class.

Didn't she claim to be leaving Hogwarts? What are you doing here to pick on Hagrid?

Doesn't this mean that you don't feel comfortable before leaving?

"She has always disliked Hagrid. I'm afraid Hagrid will be guilty today!"

Blaise, who was next to Lu Yunkai, let out a hey.

And this sentence also fell on the ears of Harry and Ron who were standing not far away from them.

Harry's face turned very ugly almost immediately.

Lu Yunkai and Harry looked at each other, then looked at Hermione who was completely ignoring him, and sighed softly.

If Hagrid is bullied by Umbridge, should he stand up for it?

If you take the initiative, to what extent will you be able to control it...

Wait a moment! ! Didn't Umbridge come here specifically to give her a chance to show her side?

Lu Yunkai's expression instantly became very strange. He remembered the double act that Umbridge had played with him at Trelawney's place.

The Vice Minister seems to like this kind of acting behavior very much!

Otherwise... I will act more intensely in a while...

Eh! right! That letter! !

Lu Yunkai remembered the complaint letter that he had already sent.

Having a big fight with Umbridge in class, and then writing a letter to complain to the Ministry of Magic... seems to be a very logical logic!

But won't this be regarded as a child's unreasonable troubles?

Hmm... No, if you take into account that Hagrid was Dumbledore's advocate for staying at Hogwarts, this is related to the issue of whether Hogwarts' surname is Deng or Wu... That is It’s a question of taking sides!

Your Excellency, the Deputy Minister, is really a complete actor!

That’s okay! Just act with her! Anyway, even if I don't join the Ministry of Magic in the future, it won't hurt to be a little popular! Just like Dumbledore...

Just thinking about it, a whole set of "finding trouble" plan has slowly taken shape in Lu Yunkai's mind.

…

"Yunkai, thank you."

"...Hagrid is not only your friend, but also mine."

"Um……"

"Then I'll go first. After dinner early, I still have to report to the old witch."

Looking at Harry's complicated eyes, Lu Yun smiled, waved coolly to Hermione who ignored him and Ron who looked grateful, and left the open space next to the Forbidden Forest.

This class can be said to be very "exciting".

Under the leadership of two people who are willing to quarrel, this class on the protection of magical animals can simply be described as hot.

Umbridge even almost pulled out her wand to teach Lu Yun a lesson...

Of course, she "calmed down" and then told Lu Yunkai with a frosty face that he would come to her place to receive punishment tonight.

Hagrid, who had been confused for half a class, didn't even come back to his senses. He escaped a crisis of layoffs.

Umbridge seemed to have completely forgotten about firing Hagrid because of Lu Yunkai's interference...

"Wait, I'll go see Hagrid again." Harry nodded to Lu Yunkai, then turned around and walked towards Hagrid's hut with Ron and Hermione.

Lu Yunkai walked back to the castle easily.

After dinner, Lu Yunkai comforted Daphne who was worried that nothing would happen, and came to Umbridge's office.

What greeted him was certainly not punishment, but Umbridge's praise.

"It seems that you have understood the content and meaning of my letter, which is very good."

Umbridge said with a relieved smile on her face.

So, naturally there would be no strange punishments that Daphne was worried about.

After just a simple chat, Lu Yunkai returned to the lounge.

As usual, review, prepare for OWLS, and chat with Daphne and Astoria, a peaceful night.

However.

"Meow! I don't know what Harry was doing just now, he put on his invisible cloak and disappeared."

Just when Lu Yunkai and Millicent were arguing about the meaning of an ancient magic rune, Chris suddenly appeared in front of him and meowed at Lu Yunkai.

"...What's the use of you meowing at me! I can't do anything!" Lu Yunkai couldn't be too detailed in front of a group of classmates, so he could only answer in general.

"Meow! Why can't I do anything! Did you forget the Marauder's Map in your hand! See where he is!!"

"...I'll go back to the dormitory." Lu Yunkai nodded a little speechlessly to Millicent who was still unsatisfied beside him, and Daphne who was watching her best friend and boyfriend quarreling but smiling, then picked up Chris and returned to the dormitory.

"The Marauder's Map can't show it. Harry's cloak is one of the Deathly Hallows!" Lu Yunkai muttered in a low voice, but he still took out the map that Chris stole from Umbridge before the Christmas holiday from the space bag hanging on the bedside.

It's been almost a month, and Lu Yunkai really forgot that he had this thing in his hand.

Indeed, with Chris helping him to keep an eye on him, this Marauder's Map is useless.

"Meow! He can't always wear a cloak! Open the map for me and go out. I'll keep an eye on him here."

"Oh." Lu Yunkai was too lazy to argue with Chris whether this behavior made sense, and obediently used a spell to open the map.

After a rough look, there was indeed no Harry's name.

However...

"Meow!! Wait a minute!! Look outside the castle! Am I dazzled?" Chris stretched out her claws and pulled out Lu Yunkai who wanted to spread out the map and leave.

"Outside the castle? What's...hiss!!!"

Lu Yunkai took a breath of cold air.

"Nagini? Why is she here?" Chris asked Lu Yunkai in surprise, "Isn't this map broken?"

"How could it be broken? Maybe...she is here to find me?"

"Then I'll go and take a look?"

"Okay! Thank you."

Lu Yunkai nodded seriously.

Nagini came to Hogwarts to find me? That must be something urgent!

What's going on? Is Voldemort going to take any risky actions?

Lu Yunkai's interest in discussing the magic runes has disappeared.

...
