Of course, all of this is temporary, and the seat of Minister for Magic will be re-elected at some point in the future.
The acting minister is only acting as an agent when he has not become a full-time member.
For example, now Umbridge is struggling to keep his position.
Rufus Scrimgeour, Head of the Auror Office at the Ministry of Magic, was eyeing the position, and with many on his side, he lived like an old lion.
This is how most people judge him.
The reputation in the Ministry of Magic is also better than that of Umbridge. In the eyes of most people, Umbridge is just a middle-aged woman who has been lucky one after another.
The reason why I think so is because her appearance is not enough to support her to ascend through unspoken rules.
Sex trading? Please trust the aesthetics of most people.
Many ordinary employees of the Ministry of Magic expected much more from that middle-aged man than Umbridge.
They generally believe that this kind of minister who looks "hawkish" can help them fight against the consequences of Voldemort's return, rather than this female toad who has passed menopause but still fanatically likes the pink girl.
Of course, even when it came to their attitude towards Voldemort, everyone was different.
Except for some clear-headed people, the ostrich mentality is also popular in the hearts of many people. It seems that as long as you pretend that nothing happened, everything will go on as usual, and Voldemort will not return.
And now in the Ministry of Magic, Umbridge's life does not seem to be easy.
Umbridge looked a bit embarrassed at this time, she was sitting in her office in a daze, the desk covered with pink bows and ribbons looked disgusting, everything in the office was now covered with lace Throw cloths and tablecloths. There were also several vases filled with dried flowers, each on a separate cushion. On one wall hangs a decorative set of plates, each featuring a large, brightly colored cat with a different bow around its neck.
Looking at some very important documents, she didn't know how to write, and couldn't process a copy for a long time. In desperation, she began to lose her mind and stared at her "cute" in a daze. It seemed that only these cute little guys could "Heal" her, "warm" her.
She couldn't make up her mind about many things, maybe she didn't have the ability to weigh them accordingly.
For example, what kind of plan should be followed for the rebuilding of Azkaban? How should these new prisoners be placed now
How should Dumbledore, headmaster of Hogwarts, be treated
Win over or suppress
Is Voldemort really back or is it Dumbledore's story, maybe the old guy is just trying to improve his own reputation and hope to win power
Never underestimate the suspicion of those in power, especially those in power who are not secure, their suspicion is extremely terrifying.
"I can help you solve your problem." A very charming and seductive voice suddenly sounded in Umbridge's ear, and she almost fell off the armchair in fright.
"Who are you and how did you get in here." Umbridge panted heavily, clutching the collar of her pink sweater, staring at the man in front of her with her wide open eyes while curling up in the chair .
"It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is how you changed from acting minister to official minister." A man appeared in front of Umbridge's desk like a ghost, and at the same time put his hands on the table, staring straight at him. looking at this woman.
The man's face was pale and handsome.
"Why should I believe you?" Umbridge said tremblingly, falling into fear.
This is a woman whose desire to control breaks through the sky. She pursues power pathologically, likes to suppress others, and obtains pathological psychological satisfaction in the process of controlling others. Subdued under the oppression of powerful power.
Like now.
The man began to state in a toneless voice: "Dolores Umbridge has concealed the fact that she is a half-blood wizard to the outside world, highlighting her status as a pure-blood wizard. What is the truth? Her poor father is a Ordinary wizards, who do trivial and humble jobs in the Ministry of Magic, their daughters get promoted and get rich, but they don't get any benefits, and they are even persuaded to retire and become a cleaner."
"Hmm..." The man stretched out his slender and penetratingly white hand to look around, not looking at Umbridge who looked terrified, pretended to think for a while, and continued: "Her poor mother was killed She and her father dislike her, why? Because... "
"I order you to stop!!" Umbridge's broad, slack face showed a furious expression, and his usually contrived girlish tone became manic at this moment, like an old female toad hiccupping suddenly. .
At this moment, Umbridge groped to find his wand from the table, and held it up to the man, only to find that his wand was out of control, trembling crazily, and finally came out of his hand, stabbing straight at her, Almost poked her eyeball. Eventually it penetrated deeply into the wall.
"Because that Muggle witch gave birth to a squib, that is Ms. Umbridge's younger brother." The man didn't blame her for her small actions, as if the woman had just done a trivial thing, and he continued to narrate Umbridge Secrets of the heart.
"On this point Ms Umbridge and her father came to an astonishing agreement that they considered it an intolerable disgrace to send the mother and son into the Muggle world."
The man said coldly, turned his face away, and looked at Umbridge's expression at this time.
"Very well, I only see fear on your face. It should be that you are afraid that your secret will be exposed and your status will be affected." He began to laugh bitterly, "If you have a trace of shame, then our The cooperation can be stopped."
Who is the man
Who can come and go freely in the Ministry of Magic, and easily penetrate people's hearts, and use it secretly to threaten others
Voldemort.
He needed to rebuild his own power, and almost all of his loyal subordinates were buried in Azkaban.
He turned his mind to the Ministry of Magic.
The Imperius Curse is a very useful tool, but it is a double-edged sword. At that time, Crouch's escape made him unexpected.
So before this, the Dark Lord conducted some investigations. At present, the most powerful person in the Ministry of Magic is a woman, and she has many unspeakable dark histories. After meeting, he became more and more satisfied.
This puppet may be easier to use than imagined, as long as he guides it a little, it doesn't need the power of magic, and it can cause a lot of trouble for that nasty old man.
Even more effective than doing it yourself.
