The content of Percy's letter continued, and it was inexplicably irritating.
As your brother, I have to give you a piece of advice. Seriously, Ron, you should not associate yourself with them. It may be very detrimental to your future. I am also talking about your life after you leave the school.
You must know that it was our father who accompanied them to court, and this matter has become a disgrace to the entire Ministry of Magic.
Harry Potter was interrogated by the entire Weisengamor this summer, and he only escaped by luck.
I personally believe that he barely escaped with his skills, and many people I have spoken to still believe that he is guilty.
As for Elwyn Mason, his fabricated newspaper has also been boycotted by the entire magic community. If he continues like this, sooner or later he will be locked up in Azkaban. Also, his messy magic experiments are all worrying.
Professor Umrich's letter has just confirmed this point, and the Minister believes that it is necessary to take immediate action.
Perhaps you do not dare to sever ties with them, but I know very well that they may have gone insane and become extremely abnormal, and as far as I know, they may have violent tendencies and spellcasting abilities beyond their years...
If you do have these concerns, or find the behavior of others around you that makes you feel uneasy, I implore you to talk to Umrich.
She is a very lovely and easygoing woman, and I know that she will be happy to give you some advice and help.
Speaking of which, I may as well give you one more warning.
As I have mentioned before, Dumbledore's days of power in the Hogwarts may soon come to an end.
Ron, for the sake of your own future, you should not be loyal to him, but to the school and the Ministry of Magic.
I am very sorry to hear that Professor Umrich's efforts to implement the changes that the Ministry of Magic strongly advocated at the Hogwarts have received very little support from other faculty members and students. Even her right to confine students has been questioned.
However, please believe me, she will soon find it easier to carry out her work, because the Minister has already made up her mind. Now the entire Ministry of Magic is working overtime to ensure that this matter is implemented. Also, please see tomorrow's Daily Prophet!
Now, I just want to make one point clear. If a student shows willingness to help Professor Umrich now, it is very likely that he will become the President of the Boy Student Union in two years. This is the highest honor a student can receive!
Do not worry about the current President of the Boy Student Union, he will not be able to keep his identity for long.
Finally, I am very sorry that I did not see you more often during the summer vacation.
I hate to criticize our parents, but if they continue to hang out with the dangerous people who surround Dumbledore, I fear I will never be able to live under the same roof as them.
I counted myself very fortunate in escaping in time from the ignominy of their association, and the Minister was very generous to me.
Therefore, I sincerely hope, Ron, that you will not be blinded by the so-called family and friendship. You will not be able to see the wrong nature of our parents' beliefs and actions. You will not be able to see the true colors of the people around you.
I sincerely hope that one day they will realize that they were wrong.
Of course, when that day comes, I will gladly accept their sincere apologies.
Please consider very carefully what I have said, and again congratulate you on being elected Prefect. Your brother, Percy.
After reading the letter, everyone looked up at Ron.
"En!" Said Harry, trying to sound as if he thought the whole thing was hilarious. "If you want to, um, how do I put it, break off relations with us, I swear, I will never be violent."
"And I definitely won't stop you from becoming the student council president," Elwyn added.
"Enough, give me back the letter." Ron reached out and snatched the letter back. "He's the biggest fool in the world."
He tore Percy's letter into two, then four, then eight, and finally into pieces.
"Hopeless fool," he said impulsively, throwing the shredded paper into the fire.
There was a moment of silence. Ron's actions were undoubtedly gratifying, but Percy's depravity was shocking.
It was hard to imagine that he now wanted to drive Dumbledore out of school and lock Elwyn and Harry up in Azkaban.
Just a few months ago, he was one of the most trustworthy people on their side.
"By the way, what happened between you two tonight?" Hermione said in a relaxed tone, trying to change the subject. "What did the letter say, that she even questioned the detention of the students?"
"Oh!" This was what Harry was unwilling to say, but Elwyn thought there was no need to hide it.
"When I arrived at Umrich's office, she was abusing Harry. Then Harry and I left her office directly to look for Professor Meg!" Elwyn said. "Professor Meg quarreled with her, but it didn't seem to work. Harry still had to go to detention."
"But you said that she only punished Harry to write a sentence?"
Harry hesitated for a moment, then truthfully told them what had happened in Umrich's office.
Hermione and Ron also saw the red mark on the back of his hand. If he continued to write, the line of words would be carved into his skin.
"Oh my god!" Hermione covered her mouth with her hand. She was even more shocked than when she saw Percy's letter.
"That old hag!" Ron whispered in disgust. "I knew it. She's not normal!"
"Terrible woman!" Hermione said in a low voice. "Will Professor Meg's words work?"
"You've asked the key question. I think it will work in the short term. But once that woman gets more power, Professor Meg's words won't work," Elwyn said. "So, we have to do something."
"What do we do? Go to Dumbledore?"
"He's very busy. I don't want to bother him with such a small thing," Harry said hurriedly. Said Harry hastily. He was not happy with what Dumbledore had done. Besides, what was the point of going to Dumbledore? It wasn't as if he could drive Umbridge out of the school, as if he were the loser of an invisible contest.
If it weren't for Elwyn, he wouldn't even have told anyone about it.
"Well, how about publishing it in the newspaper?"
"It won't be of much use. If you look through the past newspapers, you'll find that the woman's reputation isn't very good, but she doesn't care. That quill isn't a black magic item, and the professor has the right to punish the students, even if the punishment sounds disgusting." Elwyn said, "Not many people will pay attention to this matter, and it will only show that the management of the Hogwarts is in a mess, which will force the Ministry of Magic to speed up the pace of reform."
"Then what should we do? Do nothing? "
