Kapitel 192: Chapter 192- plans in chaos

ALBUS' POV

DUMBLEDORE LEADS SCHOOL TO RUIN.

By Rita Skeeter

With a new school year came a new DADA Professor, this time in the form of madam Umbridge, who, as she said in her opening speech, has a goal in coming to school.

"According to a research our ministry conducted, the last 40 years of OWLs and NEWT grades has reached an all times low!" She said, shocking everyone that listened to the speech, this reporter included.

While it is obvious from my past articles that I have no lost love to the school's headmaster and am dissatisfied with his work as the chief Warlock and Supreme Mugwump, even I never said anything bad about his job as headmaster which I thought to be impeccable.

Dumbledore is well known as one of the most beloved headmaster of the school, but could it be that even as beloved as he is, he is also incompetent?

Could it be that the three jobs he has made it so he can't do his best in even one of them?

A NEW GENERATION OF SPELL CASTING

By Arnold Rollerblitsky

For the last 2000 years wands have been the best way of spell casting, and have seemingly been perfected, yet yesterday, Madam Umbridge, the new Professor of DADA in Hogwarts and the minister announced that it is no more so.

A new magic conduct by the name of Casting Assisting Device or CAD have been in production by an undisclosed person who the minister sponsored for the past ten years.

When asked why create a new kind of wand, the minister answered.

"Just like how wands, brooms and other essential every day objects that were created to make the magical people's life easier, CADs are also for the betterment of the magical people."

As he was reading the paper, Albus only had one question on his mind.

'Where did it all went wrong.'

The plan was simple.

1) Get Tom a new body, so that people would have a common enemy.

2) Make sure the ministry doesn't believe it, and try to convince the entire country with it being false.

3) Have the ministry do their best to tarnish his name, yet only create dislike for them in the people.

4) Show the world that Tom is alive and that he is the only one that can lead them in this dark time.

5) Have Marcus defeat Voldemort with his help, even better if Marcus actually die during it, making the people faith in him reach the peak.

6) Become a god

The first two parts worked as planed, it was the third that seemed to drift away.

The minister does as expected, sending a ministry worker to teach in Hogwarts while having the Daily Prophet tell lies about him, and even as his power weakened, he knew it is only a matter of time before it grew to the size it was just after his fight with his lover, yet it only took one speech he wasn't prepared for to throw his plans to chaos.

It started as he expected it.

He knew Dolores would make a speech about the loneliness of being back to school to look like she is a nice teacher while insulting him thinly, what he didn't expect is for her to throw all pretense.

Telling the students about things he want aware the ministry noticed, like the grades being lower and lower, how did they know?

Of course he knew, it was his original plan after all, putting a boring man and then boring ghost as the history Professor, have the potion Professor teach poorly, even the curse on the DADA position was all him.

You can't look like an all knowing, all powerful being if every one can do what you can.

Taking away the importance of history was the easiest, with it being the only non-magical subject in school, and with an expert on the Goblin wars as a teacher, it slowly lost the importance it had, making it easy to look all knowing when other people only knew about the wars.

The next was the DADA position, by making sure non of the teachers stay for more then a year, and with even those teachers were almost always incompetent, he managed to create instability in the knowledge people had on the dark arts and the defenses against them, thus creating generations of people that don't know enough about the subject.

Divination was another project He did, by adding it to the school curriculum with a person who only had the bloodline and not the knowledge, he made sure people didn't know about the subject.

Having Hagrid teach COMC was another one he did, as his inability to understand appropriate animals based of age made it so students were unwilling to study the subject more then necessary.

Even potions, by convincing Severus to teach the bare minimum of the theory behind potions, created a situation that people can't do much of it on their own.

And now he felt his house of cards begin falling apart.

He already figured the ministry would try to kick some teachers out, but he thought it would only be those loyal to him, now it seemed like they are about to transform the entire school.

And the thing that made all of this even worse were the CADs.

If those things worked as they are supposed to, then classes that were dedicated to wand movements would change to focus on theory, hours of practicing a spell would be become a single time of casting something before saving it and just saying the spell when needed, all of this would lead for the last thing he wanted, change.

If it continues like that, he would need to speed his plans to reveal Tom's return.
