Chapter 792: Responding to the Ministry of Magic’s Measures

Under Ivan's inquiry, Umbridge quickly explained.

Three days ago, when she was passing by the foyer, she overheard several students talking about the assembly. Out of curiosity, she stopped them and asked them.

"At first, these annoying little guys were not ready to tell the truth, but after I threatened to tell their parents about this and expel them all, they told me everything about the meeting that day. Reveal it..."

Umbridge said quite proudly, and the movement of her hand did not stop. The black quill kept writing and drawing on the parchment, but strangely, the writing on the parchment was all blood red.

And every time Umbridge slides a stroke on it, the skin on the back of her hand holding the pen will be torn open, and a similar scratch will appear. After filling a small half of the paper, the scratches on the back of the hand have been connected, and there is a faint mark on it. "Abide by school rules and disciplines".

But this small injury did not interfere with Umbridge's interest in talking, or the needle-like tingling sensation made her more and more excited.

Listening to Umbridge's story, Ivan nodded. It seemed that the situation was better than he imagined. It was not that someone took the initiative to contact Umbridge to report him, but that someone accidentally got caught while talking about it. Umbridge heard it.

As for the few little devils who revealed the information about the gathering, Ivan didn't mean to blame them. After all, they were all underage wizards who couldn't stand being frightened. Most students were still afraid of dropping out of school and calling their parents...

Umbridge was still talking. "After I learned that there was an illegal student organization in the school, I reported the matter to the Ministry of Magic. Minister Fudge believed that Dumbledore must be behind it, so he held an impromptu meeting and passed the "Education Order No. 24" ", and asked me to investigate this matter thoroughly..."

"So, does the Ministry of Magic already know?" Ivan touched his chin and murmured to himself.

After discovering that the so-called "interest group" had more than a hundred members last time, he guessed that this matter must not be hidden.

But Ivan didn't expect that it would be exposed so quickly. He originally thought that Umbridge would not notify Fudge so quickly.

Fortunately, Dumbledore took the blame for him...

Ivan thought for a while, quickly came up with an idea, and spoke immediately. "Well, let's do that, Umbridge... you will tell Fudge next time you go back that this illegal student organization is indeed related to Dumbledore."

"But this old cunning guy is very careful in what he does. If you can't catch him yet, it might alarm the enemy. You need some time to collect evidence. Remember?" Ivan looked at Umbridge and ordered seriously.

Before the preparations for the original plan are completed, Ivan does not intend to confront the Ministry of Magic head-on. It is the right move to avoid trouble for the time being.

Of course, this time won't last long. According to the latest information he obtained, Voldemort can't wait any longer. Within a month, there will be the best time to take action against the Ministry of Magic...

Umbridge did not dare to disobey Ivan's instructions and kept these instructions in mind.

"If Minister of Magic Fudge is unfortunately killed in battle, who will be the next successor?" Ivan suddenly asked.

Umbridge was stunned and couldn't quite understand what Ivan meant, but under the control of the Ivan Curse, she still thought about it and replied.

"There is a high probability that it will be Rufus Scrimgeour, Director of the Auror Office. He is currently the most popular candidate for the next minister. Of course, Pierce Thicknesse, Director of the Executive Department, also has a chance..."

"Rufus and Pierce?" Ivan touched his chin, thinking about the information about these two people in his mind.

None of them seemed to be easy to deal with. They were all resisters in the original time and space. They had not surrendered to Voldemort, so naturally they were unlikely to surrender to him.

Neither of them ended well. Rufus was tortured to death, while Pierce was controlled by the Imperius Curse and became a puppet minister.

Although he could learn from Voldemort to use the Imperius Curse and forcibly control a minister of magic, this was not a long-term solution after all...

Just as Ivan was thinking about it, Umbridge suddenly pointed at herself coyly.

"The only person who can be the Minister of Magic is...and me!"

Her current position is Senior Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Magic, and she is naturally qualified to serve as Minister of Magic. However, her foundation is shallow and not many people are willing to support her, so she is not a popular candidate.

It is precisely based on this that she is willing to become Fudge's pawn against Dumbledore, hoping that after defeating Dumbledore, she can gain the full support of Minister Fudge and become the most powerful candidate to succeed the Minister of Magic in the future.

"You... forget it?" Ivan glanced at Umbridge and thought she had a beautiful idea.

Although in a sense, Umbridge is very suitable, has the possibility of becoming the Minister of Magic, and is a good and obedient bitch, but Ivan has no good impression of her, so choosing her as the Minister is really uncomfortable. answer.

After Ivan clearly expressed his refusal, Umbridge was somewhat disappointed.

But Ivan didn't bother to pay attention to her emotional changes, and then asked about the information from the Ministry of Magic.

Under the control of the Imperius Curse, Umbridge did not dare to hide anything and revealed everything she knew. As the senior deputy minister of the Ministry of Magic, she knew most of the secrets of the Ministry of Magic.

"You mean, there is also an anti-Apparition alchemy circle in the Ministry of Magic?" Ivan asked curiously after listening to Umbridge's story.

"Yes, Mr. Hals, but it will only be used in emergencies." Umbridge responded very respectfully.

"For example, during the last Wizarding War, the Ministry of Magic activated the anti-Apparition alchemy circle and blocked all the fireplaces. In conjunction with the Ministry of Magic's internal protective circle, the headquarters became an insurmountable fortress. ...withstood several attacks from mysterious people.”

"No wonder Voldemort is unwilling to attack the Ministry of Magic. Is it because he tried it in the last war and suffered some hidden losses and failed to penetrate?" Ivan's eyes showed a bit of understanding.

In the original time and space, after Dumbledore's death, Voldemort had no opponent who could compete with him.

But even so, this cruel Dark Lord did not intend to directly attack the Ministry of Magic. Instead, he chose to take detours to corrupt and control the senior officials of the Ministry of Magic, and indirectly control the place.

Ivan had always believed that Voldemort was as unwilling to increase subsequent management costs as he was. Now it seems that the Ministry of Magic's protective circle does have merit, at least it will make Voldemort feel that it is not appropriate to confront it head-on.

Since it's difficult to attack from the outside, it can only start to disintegrate from the inside, which is exactly what he wants...
