Professor McGonagall's "review outcome" quickly spread throughout Hogwarts Castle.
Although the Joint Review Board hadn't officially issued a document, everyone knew it was only a matter of time.
And what infuriated Umbridge was that she seemed to have inadvertently made a wedding dress for others.
The Ministry of Magic, the International Confederation of Wizards, and many magical academics from all over the world came together to discuss setting up a Magical Knowledge Association, whose function would be to review and include various academic documents in the magical society.
As the former Senior Undersecretary to the Minister of Magic, she witnessed the formation of the prototype, but was humiliatingly told that she was not qualified to participate in the establishment of the Knowledge Association.
However, almost no one except Umbridge would feel sad and indignant about this.
Some people, like Percy Weasley, were ecstatic.
Under the discussion of a group of core journals and top wizards, articles from several journals such as "Getting into Magic" and "Today's Transfiguration" were included in the scope of free review.
This was not limited to the extra credit rules for selecting prefects and student council presidents within Hogwarts; it was something recognized by the international magical academic community. And the simple papers that Percy Weasley published on it some time ago have now become a batch of included content.
Although his overall score wasn't too high, he could be considered to have stepped into the cutting edge of the magical academic circle with one foot.
And there were many students like Percy. Now everyone had a new pursuit: comparing their respective comprehensive impact factors.
As for the transmutational alchemy and alchemical transfiguration mentioned by Professor McGonagall, it seemed that only a few little witches such as Hermione and Elena cared about it.
Now there was only one topic in the corridor: when would Professor McGonagall officially become the acting headmaster.
As the review ended, McGonagall's and Umbridge's scores inside and outside the school reversed instantly.
At the same time, the impeachment of Minister of Magic Cornelius Fudge gradually penetrated into the Hogwarts campus through owl letters and newspapers.
Rumor has it that Cornelius Fudge is facing nearly ten extremely serious charges, including some policies during Umbridge's time. If all the charges against him are true, Cornelius may become the first Minister of Magic in history to be thrown into Azkaban during his term, which would be a huge scandal.
Children from magical families have known about the Ministry of Magic since they were young, and for a long time, the end point of their ambition was to become the Minister of Magic.
The change of leadership at Hogwarts and the Ministry of Magic suddenly became the hottest topic throughout the school and even the entire magical society.
As the overall situation at the school settled, the turmoil in the Ministry of Magic quickly became the focus of discussion in the corridors.
Many students at Hogwarts were children of Ministry of Magic officials, and these students became the source of the latest information for everyone.
The Weasley family naturally didn't need to be mentioned, but Cedric Diggory of Hufflepuff House couldn't escape the inquiries either. Everyone knew that his father, Mr. Diggory, worked at the Ministry of Magic. In the Hufflepuff common room, Cedric seemed to have turned into a storytelling robot, repeating the little information he knew again and again.
"The most serious charge at the moment is that a high-ranking official was secretly imprisoned by Fudge."
Cedric Diggory said, he looked helplessly at the students by the fireplace, closed the book in his hand and said.
"As for more, such as bribery, arresting vagrant wizards, illegally transferring Aurors, concealing the specific situation of dark wizards, endangering social security..."
"I really don't know about these. Dad didn't mention too much in the letter. In fact, he also saw a lot of content in 'The Daily Prophet' and 'The Quibbler'."
Luna has become the subject of quiet discussions and close attention in the corridors these days, but no one dares to surround her directly because of her status as a prefect.
Now everyone is convinced that "The Quibbler" is the most well-informed magazine, and more than once someone has subtly tried to find out something.
Amidst the speculation, Gilderoy Lockhart's election declaration made the external situation even more exciting.
Not only were outside rumors spreading like wildfire, but Hogwarts professors also showed some intriguing changes.
"It seems that Professor Lockhart's questioning tone has been set—"
Hermione said happily, she and Elena had just finished Professor Lupin's Defense Against the Dark Arts class.
In class, Professor Lupin surprisingly cited content from Lockhart's novels, telling everyone how to face and resist the stalking attacks of vampire zombies.
"Professor Lupin didn't like Lockhart very much before, right? Now, he finally recognizes that Professor Lockhart has some strength."
"That's because Lockhart is indeed worthy of respect now. Professor Lupin went to Salzburg some time ago."
Elena turned her head and looked at Professor Lupin, who was organizing lesson plans in the classroom.
"After all, werewolves are seen as people there and have hope."
"Wolfsbane Potion? Isn't that still under research?"
Hermione asked confusedly, she skillfully tapped her fingers and summoned a soundproof barrier from the magic book.
"Werewolf serum has been successfully developed, but no media in Europe even dares to report it now."
"Oh, that's because... it shakes the wizarding world's previous bloodline theory - now Muggles have a channel to truly step into the magical world."
Elena shrugged her shoulders, she didn't seem worried at all and explained to Hermione generously.
As time went by, Hermione's growth rate was even faster than she had imagined.
Now "Miss Justice in Training" is undertaking about 80% of the expected work, and in terms of analysis and processing, she has completely reached the Super A-level member standard.
"As for werewolf reversal... this project has now diverged - the cost of all-round tissue replacement is too high, and it is not very meaningful. The magical medical team in Salzburg proposed to achieve the corresponding effect through suppressants, similar to a fuse, artificially storing or suppressing the werewolf transformation state during the full moon."
"Artificially... storing?"
Hermione immediately captured the information Elena had just revealed.
"Yes, that's right, controllable werewolf transformation—"
Elena nodded and pointed to "The Dark Forces: A Guide to Self-Protection" she was holding in her arms.
"The researchers compared certain unconscious physiological changes in adult males in the morning and proposed corresponding magical medical hypotheses."
"Just as wizards can control magic after training, in theory, werewolves can also do this, suppressing or releasing their power at any time."
"Moonlight can be collected and stored, this magic is not complicated - combined with wolfsbane potion, it may really succeed."
Since Father Benitez transformed into a werewolf, Elena has greatly increased the funding and manpower investment in werewolf research projects.
With the accumulation of massive resources and manpower, the werewolf project quickly showed an explosive stage of experimental results.
Elena originally thought that the first key breakthrough would be curing werewolves, thinking that the Philosopher's Stone and the introduction of microscopic medicine would crack the werewolf secret and find the genetic secret of humans turning into werewolves. However, the research team in Salzburg first obtained controllable wolfification - they called this "the real werewolf." As soon as the research results came out, the "Black Wizard" corps blocked it.
At least wait until the werewolf legion is initially established before it will appear in the magical society's field of vision.
However, in this way, Lockhart would have one less card to play.
As a replacement, they are preparing to gradually release another message...
The secret imprisonment of Barty Crouch.
