Chapter 218: Trouble at the Ministry of Magic
When Gloria returned to the lounge with the list, before she reached the exclusive seat, Daphne's hypocritical voice full of regret rang out.
"It was rejected, what a shame, Gloria."
After the failure of the covert attack in the Potions class last time, the fortunes of several of their families, except Nott's, suffered varying degrees of damage. It was not fatal but had shrunk by at least one-fifth.
After enduring such frustration for a long time, he could finally see Gloria being humiliated, and he couldn't suppress his excitement.
Gloria just glanced at them lightly, raised the list in her hand, and smiled at Draco.
"Passed?" The boy stretched out his hand towards her.
She handed over the list, "Yes, the club can continue to the secret room."
Students from some of the surrounding clubs were prepared for Gloria to return home in failure today.
Crabbe, Goyle and their gang looked at the people around them in surprise. It was clear that Umbridge had done everything she could to block the application and even plan to disband the club.
Gloria leaned on her boyfriend's chest and said, "We had a heart-to-heart talk. The professor was moved by my sincerity and signed the document."
Zabini laughed out loud. He didn't believe this reason. It must be that Umbridge had something on her.
Seeing this, Daphne and the others gritted their teeth and left the lounge.
"It looks like Gryffindor is in trouble. They won't have anything to do with the Quidditch Cup this year." Draco put away the list contentedly.
Gloria shook her head. "No, at most they will delay their approval and temporarily stop them from training. It's impossible to completely reject them. That's a team, not an organization formed by students themselves."
He shrugged and said, "Maybe it won't be passed until the first game."
Draco asked: "Will I ask you for help then?"
After all, Gloria and Umbridge had obvious conflicts, but their applications were still approved. The fact that he did not openly oppose Harry and his gang did not mean that he wanted to help them everywhere.
"I have already reminded them that Umbridge will not give up making things difficult for them easily, and I cannot be the first to do everything." Gloria said: "Besides, I cannot always stop Umbridge from making mistakes. How can I catch her mistakes and deal with them? I don't want to fight with the Ministry of Magic until graduation."
Draco then smiled with relief, "That's good."
Gloria said: "Besides, Umbridge mainly wants to stop Harry and his team's actions. If she really disbands the Quidditch team, it will only cause resentment from the outside world."
Now that their applications have been approved, club members can continue to stay in the secret room. Recently, they have become accustomed to discussing various things in the secret room, and they have to be more reserved in the lounge.
There was a Potions class this afternoon, and Gloria saw a worried Harry at the door.
After entering the room, she found Umbridge sitting in the corner of the classroom, holding a piece of paper and a pen for her notes. Her bulging eyes scanned every student who came into the classroom, especially Harry.
The Gryffindor students all looked for seats in silence.
"I want you to concentrate on your lessons," Professor Snape said solemnly, "and not focus on unimportant people."
Then he asked them to continue preparing the enhancer, and everyone started to move, and no one looked at Umbridge.
Perhaps Professor Snape's expression was too scary, so Umbridge kept taking notes silently.
About half an hour later, she began to follow Professor Snape, and when she talked about wanting the Ministry to delete the enhancers, the professor just stared at her quietly.
Then Gloria heard the normal question, such as how many years you had been teaching.
They had been hanging around on the other side of the classroom due to Professor Snape's attention to Gryffindor.
"I heard that you initially applied for the Defense Against the Dark Arts course, which is the course I teach now, is that right?"
"Yes." Snape's answer was calm and unperturbed.
Gloria's potion was very stable and she had time to spare. She couldn't help but look back and saw the professor's gloomy expression and hint of impatience.
But Umbridge asked knowingly, "Didn't you get it?"
Professor Snape had already walked behind Ron. Seeing the potion in the crucible, his face darkened and his eyes replied: "It's obvious--"
Gloria almost laughed, and so did Ron, who lowered his head and ignored the two professors behind him, with a smile of joy on his lips.
Umbridge's subsequent questioning made Professor Snape very angry, but given the other party's identity, he could only endure it, with an expression colder than winter.
After asking all the questions, Umbridge asked the Slytherin students a few more small questions and left satisfied.
Gloria turned around and found that the professor was still standing behind Ron. She picked up the book on the seat next to her and slapped Ron on the head.
No one could hold back and suppressed laughter accidentally burst out from their lips.
Harry also failed to escape and was scolded by Professor Snape using a bad potion.

It won't be long before the Gryffindor team will be able to practice, and Professor McGonagall, a Quidditch fanatic, will not watch her own house team being dragged down.
Crabbe and Goyle have also become Slytherin Beaters.
Gloria receives a letter from an insider in the Ministry of Magic.
Miss Slytherin:
Today, something happened to Broderick Bode, the Keeper of Mysteries in the Department of Mysteries. He was found lying in the Hall of Prophecy. When he woke up, he thought he was a teapot. He has been sent to St. Mungo's Hospital.
Everyone thinks he came across a prophecy ball while patrolling the Hall of Prophecy, because we have been paying attention to the Department of Mysteries since the end of August, and now it seems that someone wants to get the prophecy ball about someone.
We will continue to pay attention to the follow-up.

"The prophecy?" Draco didn't know what the prophecy was about. "Does it matter?"
Gloria shook her head, "It's fine for now, but I don't know if this Bode is a spy outside or is under the Imperius Curse."
Either way, it shows that Voldemort is eager to know the full content of the prophecy.
Draco said, "If it's the Imperius Curse, then father could be a target as well. I'm worried."
"After what happened this time, they will be more careful." Gloria hugged him, "And the Ministry of Magic has already noticed it. He won't make any more moves recently. After this period of time, let Lucius ask for leave on the pretext of being sick. It's too obvious to say he's sick now."
Voldemort can't make any big moves, so these days are a safe period.
After thinking about it, Draco thought that this would be a good idea. "If that person gets the prophecy, will this war..."
Gloria looked up at the flames in the fireplace. "No matter what the prophecy says, he will not let Harry go. Besides, with me here, even if they lose, I will not let Voldemort rule the British wizarding world."
"Sometimes I really want to take you away from England and come back after things here are over." Draco hugged her quietly.
Gloria laughed softly, "Don't bother with that. Stay in Slytherin Manor. No one can find you without my permission."
The young man sighed, "The hiding spell of Slytherin Manor is so powerful. It is still so effective after more than a thousand years. Do you have the specific address?"
"Not here." Gloria thought, at least in this world, Slytherin Manor has no address.
