Chapter 390 Filch is laid off
"There are only two months left, so I should finish the course. Otherwise, I will be sorry for my persistence. There are some things that you will regret once you have experienced them, but you will regret them for the rest of your life if you don't experience them."
Alia finally did not drop out of school, and Sainz persuaded her.
Sainz only has a few friends, so he would lend a helping hand whenever he could. By arranging for Alia, he can finally put his mind at ease.
After repaying his friendship, he returned his focus to the development of "Light of the Soul", which went generally smoothly.
Time passed by unnoticed, and during class he noticed that the scar on the back of Harry's hand became more obvious.
"Tom, how's Filch doing lately?"
"That old guy is really outrageous. He has punished many students by relying on the little power he has."
"Okay, I get it. I don't need to pay attention to him anymore."
…………
"Professor Umbridge."
"Ah? Ah!...Oh my God, Professor Autumn, I didn't know you would come to me." Umbridge stood up nervously from behind her desk. Her movement was so big that she bumped into a cat porcelain plate behind her, which fell to the ground and broke.
She was still in the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor's office, and she was not allowed to enter the headmaster's office, even though she was appointed headmaster by the Ministry of Magic, an appointment that Hogwarts Castle obviously did not recognize.
Umbridge said cautiously, "What do you want?"
Sainz didn't beat around the bush, "Professor Umbridge, I wonder if you know that Filch is a Squib?"
"this?"
"do you know?"
Umbridge observed Sai's expression and said, "This... I just found out about this."
Hey, I don't believe you. The old toad's words are really flawless. No matter what Sai's opinion on the squib is, she can deal with it calmly.
"Now that Professor Umbridge knows about this, I think it's a little inappropriate for a Squib to take on such an important job as an administrator. What do you think?"
"Indeed," said Umbridge shrilly. "Old Filch is helpless against the boys when they are naughty. I am just thinking of changing his job."
"I understand the principal's desire to take care of the old staff," Sainz said meaningfully, "but it's too cruel for a person without magic to stay in the wizarding world. I think it's better to let him go back to the Muggle world. It's good for both him and the wizarding world. What do you think?"
"Oh," Umbridge clapped her hands in annoyance, "I only considered that he has worked here for such a long time, and perhaps he would have some feelings for the place. I didn't consider how cruel this would be for him. Professor Autumn is very thoughtful."
"Principal, don't blame yourself. You just didn't think about it for a moment," Sainz started to walk out, "Then I won't bother you anymore."
"By the way!" After taking a step forward, Sainz suddenly turned around and said to Umbridge with a smile, "It's a good thing to let the administrator retire. The headmaster will definitely not allow unnecessary misunderstandings to arise, right?"
Someone noticed that Umbridge seemed to shudder, and said repeatedly, "Of course not. I think Filch must have been looking forward to this day for a long time. He is so happy that he certainly won't have any other thoughts."
"I see," Sainz smiled suddenly, "Professor Umbridge still understands him. In this case, I feel relieved."
The next day, the students heard an incredible news. The administrator Filch felt that he had lost his energy and resigned to Umbridge. Umbridge tried to persuade him to stay, but the administrator was determined to leave, so she had no choice but to agree.
As Mr. Filch resigned suddenly, there was no suitable candidate for the administrator position at the moment. After communicating with him, the key keeper Hagrid was temporarily appointed to take over the position.
This incident caused widespread discussion and even aroused opposition from some people, especially the investigation team headed by Malfoy.
Where there are those who oppose, there are certainly those who agree. Most students are happy about Filch's resignation.
As the administrator, Hagrid can no longer stay in his hut all the time, he has to patrol the castle, and of course he can't go back to cook for himself.
With dinner in hand, Sainz noticed that Harry and his gang quietly stopped him, "Hagrid, Hagrid! Why did Umbridge suddenly make you an administrator?"
Hagrid himself was a little puzzled by this appointment. "I don't know what happened. She suddenly came to me yesterday and said that Filch was going to resign and wanted me to take over his job."
"Did she say anything else?" Hermione inquired.
"No."
Ron asked puzzledly, "When did your relationship become so good?"
"Good relationship?!" Hagrid was very angry, as if insulted. "She forced Dumbledore to leave. I wish I could feed that bitch to the eight-eyed spider!"
"then you……"
Hagrid's momentum weakened, and he said hesitantly: "I can't help it... She is the headmaster now... I can't offend her for the time being."
"Why?" Harry asked in confusion, and then he realized, "Oh~ Grawp!"
Hagrid nodded helplessly, "Well... I can't leave him. I can't leave here."
"Take it easy, Harry," Ron said nonchalantly. "No matter what Umbridge's intentions are, can it be worse than when Filch is here?"
"Ron's right, Harry," Hagrid agreed. "I certainly wouldn't team up with Umbridge against you."
Hearing Hagrid's words, Harry and the other two laughed.
These people are also scared and consider everything as a conspiracy.
The real situation was just as stated in the notice. Umbridge was not prepared for this and couldn't find anyone for the time being, so she had to let Hagrid take on the role temporarily.
If she had made other preparations, it would be in her best interest to take this opportunity to arrange for one of her own to come in.
It is estimated that letting Hagrid take on the role concurrently is also meant to curry favor with Sai, after all, Hagrid is a friend acknowledged by Sai himself.
Sainz didn't know how Umbridge explained the sudden personnel changes in Hogwarts to Fudge. The reason was probably similar to Trelawney's. Filch was Dumbledore's man, and he was able to stay in Hogwarts because of Dumbledore's mercy.
Mr. Sai couldn't help but mock Dumbledore in his heart. The fact that Filch was a Squib and was able to stay in Hogwarts was definitely Dumbledore's "extraordinary favor."
With such a great favor, Filch should be a die-hard fan of old Dumbledore, right?
As a result, hey!
At first, Mr. Sai had some sympathy for Filch, but later, because of Filch's personality and the way he handled things, he felt that Filch deserved to be disliked.
If it were just that, it would be fine.
If you want to make yourself uncomfortable, you deserve it.
But eating Hogwarts' food and smashing Hogwarts' pots is intolerable.
Umbridge came to Hogwarts as a representative of the Ministry of Magic to "bully the hell out of control". Even the students could see what was going on. How could he, an adult, not see it?
Can't you?
To put it another way, even if he really didn't understand it, what could he do?
It is better to eliminate people who cannot make clear their position, no matter they are really stupid or evil.
