Chapter 632 This Deal Is a Good Deal
By Monday, something suddenly spread in Hogwarts Castle.
It is said that during yesterday's Quidditch training match, Kyle and the Weasley brothers had a fight in the locker room due to some conflicts.
At first, everyone didn't believe it. After all, everyone knew that they were best friends, and even if they had conflicts, it would be impossible to fight.
But soon someone discovered that Fred and George seemed to be really injured...
There was a black and blue mark on each of their eyes, as if they had been hit by something.
At this time, there was a complete explosion in the castle.
The rumor was suddenly confirmed, which also aroused the curiosity of countless people, wanting to know what exactly caused the former friends to fight.
But neither the Weasley brothers nor Kyle said a word about it and had no intention of explaining it.
At this time, Kyle was in Umbridge's office.
"Professor..." He looked at Umbridge who was playing with a vase of dried flowers and said, "I already know their purpose of going to the Pig's Head Bar."
"What is it!" Umbridge immediately stopped what she was doing and said anxiously.
"Canvassing votes." Kyle said, "They are preparing to mobilize their families to support Dumbledore as Minister of Magic."
"Damn it!" Umbridge yelled angrily, not doubting Kyle's words at all.
Because of the rumors in the school, she naturally knew that Kyle had a fight with the Weasley brothers.
At the same time, she also knew that the Weasley brothers were also people who had been to the Pig's Head Bar.
Being able to make long-time friends turn against each other and even get into fights is enough to prove that Kyle is on the side of the Ministry of Magic, so the news he brings cannot be false.
Parents can be mobilized to support Dumbledore... If Minister Fudge finds out, he will definitely be furious.
Umbridge continued to spin in circles like a potato top, and said to herself: "No, this kind of thing must be stopped in the future, and it must not happen a second time."
"What are you going to do?" Kyle said.
"Disband all student organizations, associations, teams and clubs so that they will not have the opportunity to get together again," Umbridge said.
"But Professor, everyone will complain about this." Kyle said, "Almost all students at Hogwarts participate in various clubs and teams. Isn't this approach a bit too radical?"
"It doesn't matter, it's just that the previous student groups have been disbanded, and they can completely reorganize." Umbridge said, "But the prerequisite is that it must be approved by me."
As she spoke, she took out a piece of parchment and prepared to issue an education order, which was more stringent school rules.
As the senior investigator designated by the Ministry of Magic, she has this right.
"Professor, I still feel something is wrong." Kyle continued: "There are too many organizations, associations and clubs in the school. If they are all investigated and reorganized, it will take at least a week. The students at the back I will still complain.
"This is an order from the Ministry of Magic." Umbridge said haughtily. "They must accept it."
"Of course..." Kyle said, "But I have a better way."
Umbridge stopped her quill and looked up at him.
Kyle cleared his throat and said: "Actually, it doesn't matter even if they want to support Dumbledore, as long as more people choose to support Minister Fudge, wouldn't it be fine?"
"What do you mean?" Umbridge asked.
"I've inquired, and there were only about fifty people at the party last time."
Kyle continued: "Compared to the entire Hogwarts, this number of people is actually not large, it can even be said to be very small. We can completely win over the remaining people and let them choose to support Minister Fudge.
"Think about it, Professor, if the remaining hundreds of students in the school all choose to support Minister Fudge, then these fifty or so people will not matter."
Umbridge's eyes lit up, and then she began to think about Kyle's words.
There is no doubt that Fudge would be very angry if he knew that any student was openly supporting Dumbledore.
But if she could win more supporters for the Ministry of Magic, then the nature of the matter would be different.
Kyle was right. For the entire Hogwarts, more than fifty people were really inconspicuous.
And even if she can't get everyone else to support the Ministry of Magic, even if it's just half, it's still a great achievement for her.
"What are we going to do?" she asked. "How about having a party too. We can set the location in the school auditorium and let everyone come."
Kyle shook his head. "Don't bother, Professor, it will make it appear that we have an ulterior motive.
“Just let them know who the real good people are for students.”
"Then what can you do?" Umbridge asked with interest.
Kyle said nothing, with a hesitant expression on his face.
"What?" Umbridge raised her eyebrows, "Don't worry, if it succeeds, I will tell Minister Fudge about your achievements."
"You misunderstood, Professor." Kyle said hesitantly: "It's just... you know, our Hufflepuff house score was surpassed by Slytherin today..."
"Kyle, there is something I have to say..." Umbridge looked at him pretending to be serious and said, "Even if I am a professor, I cannot give students extra points casually. This is shameful cheating."
"Yes, Professor, I know." Kyle whispered, "But if we can also win the House Cup this year, it will be the sixth consecutive championship..."
"In any case, this kind of cheating is not advisable." Umbridge said, "But, because you discovered some people's wrong behavior in time, I can make an exception and give Hufflepuff 20 points this time."
"Thank you, Professor." Kyle said with a smile.
"Can you tell me your ideas now?"
"Of course." Kyle said, "As long as we can make students feel the goodwill of the Ministry of Magic, we can start with Quidditch."
"Quidditch?" Umbridge frowned, a little confused about what this meant.
"Yes, this is the most popular sport in Hogwarts, and it is also the largest group."
Kyle said, "Dumbledore is too stingy, or he doesn't care about Quidditch at all, which has led to the school's brooms being some old-fashioned comet and sweep series, not to mention the slow flying speed, the experience is also very poor, and the team members have complained about this many times.
"If the Ministry of Magic is willing to pay for a batch of new brooms for the school, I think everyone will be so excited that they will jump up."
"Change brooms?" Umbridge hesitated, then shook her head, "No, this is a lot of money."
"It doesn't need to be too expensive, as long as it is new, such as the new sweep." Kyle said with a smile, "And if the Ministry of Magic comes forward to purchase, it should be able to get other discounts, you can do it yourself. "
Umbridge seemed to have thought of something, her eyes flickered, she didn't respond, but she didn't object anymore.
"I still say the same thing, Professor..." Kyle took advantage of the situation and said, "There are many people who like Quidditch, and each team member has a considerable influence in the college.
"As long as you spend a little money, you can easily gain many supporters, and at the same time, you can also highlight Dumbledore's stinginess. This deal is very cost-effective."
