On Friday night, when everyone was enjoying their dinner, the door of the auditorium was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and Moody limped in with a gloomy face. Although Moody's expression was usually very serious, even a little scary, everyone could see at a glance that he was in a bad mood today.

The scarred face was tense, and the evil eyes in the eye sockets never stopped looking at everyone around him quickly.

Seeing this, some students who originally wanted to say hello to him gave up the idea and sat there obediently, not even daring to look at Moody.

"Kyle, guess what happened." Cedric whispered at the Hufflepuff table, "This is the first time I've seen Professor Moody so angry."

"I don't know either." Kyle shook his head, "But I guess it may be related to what happened in the Ministry of Magic recently."

He glanced at the Daily Prophet at hand.

On the front page of the newspaper, there is an eye-catching headline.

[Dolores Jane Umbridge, former Deputy Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, was transferred to the Minister's Office as Senior Undersecretary of the Ministry of Magic]

Unlike the brief reports on Crouch a month ago, the new Deputy Minister Umbridge alone occupied the front page of the newspaper.

It details her past achievements and her contributions to the Ministry of Magic.

Kyle didn't even read most of the content. He just glanced at it and ignored it. Only the last one caught his attention.

It says that Umbridge thinks the Aurors have too much power and that some spells that used to be powerful, such as the blasting curse, should be banned.

She also said that the Aurors were too disorganized before, and they should all be under the dispatch of the Minister's Office like the strikers, instead of being directly led by the Director of the Auror Office as it is now.

Judging from the time, this proposal appeared half a month ago, and it was marked as pending at the end. It is obviously still under discussion and has not been passed or rejected.

This must be the reason why Professor Moody took so long to come back.

If that was the case, no wonder he was so angry.

Aurors and strikers are two different departments. Aurors mainly deal with notorious dark wizards. Their missions are more dangerous, and it can even be said that every mission is like dancing on the edge of a knife.

Once you are forbidden to use more powerful spells, the consequences can be imagined.

Moreover, being under the control of the Minister's Office means that the Aurors must go through an extra procedure every time they take action, which will also greatly reduce their efficiency.

Sometimes, especially in emergency situations, even a second of delay can make things worse.

Although Moody has retired, he certainly won't just watch the Ministry of Magic send the Aurors to their deaths.

Fudge must be too inflated. He didn't even reject this outrageous proposal immediately.

Other countries are working hard to improve the treatment of Aurors in order to attract more talents, but he chooses to do the opposite.

Kyle could guess a little bit that he probably wanted to take control of the Auror Office as well, but this method was too stupid.

If people from other countries saw this, then...

Well, in fact people in other countries have seen it.

Furong sneered at the newspaper.

Although Kyle wasn't sure if she was laughing because of this news, there didn't seem to be anything else funny in today's newspaper.

And at the Slytherin table on the other side, Krum did not eat in silence as he had done before, but was chatting and laughing with other Durmstrang students in Bulgarian.

He also had a copy of the Daily Prophet in his hand.

Kyle shook his head helplessly.

It seems that Sirius was right. Without Crouch, it would not be a good thing for the Ministry of Magic.

Kyle glanced in the direction of the teachers' seats. Dumbledore was talking to Moody with a serious expression.

…

The next morning.

When Kyle came to the headmaster's office on the eighth floor as usual, he did not see Dumbledore there... He thought he must have gone to the Ministry of Magic.

Kyle had thought of this situation before he came, so he only waited in the principal's office for ten minutes before getting up and leaving.

It's nice to take a week off every now and then, and today is Hogsmeade week, so after more than a month of drinking pumpkin juice, Kyle is ready to go to the Three Broomsticks and order a cold butterbeer.

After leaving the eighth floor, Kyle met Sirius and Harry in the hallway. They looked like they were about to go out as well.

"Kyle?" Sirius was a little surprised, "You don't need to learn spells with Professor Dumbledore today?"

Although most students didn't know about this, the professors were aware of it. Sirius even had the audacity to go to the principal's office and attend a class.

But that day he only persisted for ten minutes and then left without looking back.

I don't understand. I don't understand at all.

Those complicated magic formulas made him feel overwhelmed. He did not choose the ancient runes course when he was in school, and the little knowledge he had was almost forgotten in the past twelve years.

"What, Kyle is learning spells from Professor Dumbledore?" Harry asked in surprise, with a hint of envy in his tone, when he heard this for the first time.

That's Dumbledore, the greatest wizard of this century. With him as a professor, I'm sure I can learn a lot.

"That's right...well, for the Triwizard Tournament." Sirius blinked, then whispered, "Remember not to tell anyone else."

"No problem, I'll keep it a secret." Harry put away his envy and nodded repeatedly.

He had been thinking about whether or not to tell Ron and Hermione, but since Sirius said so, he decided to wait for a while.

When we tell them this secret at the beginning of the third project, their expressions will be amazing.

Harry looked at Kyle and said, "So you have learned it now? I really hope you can win the championship."

"Learn it? It's too early." Kyle said, "Professor Dumbledore is not in school today. I'm going to the Three Broomsticks to have a drink. What about you guys..."

"It just so happens that we are going to Hogsmeade as well." Sirius said with a smile, "Remus is there too. If you don't have anything else to do, would you like to come with us?"

"Professor Lupin? Of course no problem." Kyle nodded.

It had indeed been a long time since he last saw Lupin, the former Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.

Looking at Sirius, Kyle suddenly thought, is this considered as him taking over Lupin's job... One can only say that they are indeed good friends, even doing the same job.

I just don't know if Sirius will be able to get out of this position unscathed like Lupin after the end of this school year.

To be honest, in the past few years, Lupin's ending was the best. Although his identity as a werewolf was exposed and he was forced to resign, he did not suffer any substantial harm.

This alone makes me better than 99 percent of my colleagues.
