HP: The Duelist of Hogwarts - 347
🕑 Added 2025-09-26 18:14:13 +0000 UTCChapter 347: Dolores Umbridge
The Wizengamot has fifty formal members in total. The highest official is called the Chief Warlock of the Wizengamot. Currently, Dumbledore serves as Chief Warlock of the Wizengamot.
This Wizengamot promotion meeting has two positions available, mainly because two original members were too old. They could no longer fulfil their duties and even had problems taking care of themselves, so they had to retire from the Wizengamot, giving up two precious positions.
Being able to sit in the front row, Sean knew very well he was benefiting from his grandfather Gavin and Dumbledore's influence. These two were quite powerful within the Wizengamot, so bringing Sean to sit in the front row wasn't a big deal. However, Sean's keen senses could feel a malicious gaze staring at him from behind.
Pretending to move his shoulders, Sean glanced back with his peripheral vision. That was a short, fat, ugly woman wearing pink robes with what she considered refined short hair. With such a distinctive appearance, Sean immediately recognised her identity.
Dolores Umbridge!
However, she apparently hadn't become Fudge's confidante yet and was currently just a Wizengamot alternate ranked who knows how far down the list.
Sean didn't know why she would hate him, but this didn't prevent him from adding her to his enemy list.
"That person is Dolores Umbridge, a very scheming person and someone with absolutely no moral bottom line. She's despicable and jealous. Unless you can finish her off completely, don't provoke her lightly."
Hearing Gavin's words, Sean turned his head and nodded lightly. "I understand."
Gavin and Dumbledore sat on Sean's left and right sides. Naturally, Dumbledore also heard Gavin's words to Sean. Because he didn't quite agree with Gavin's words, Dumbledore patted Sean's arm, wanting to say something. But the moment Dumbledore's hand touched Sean's arm, white mist filled Sean's eyes as he suddenly entered a state of spiritual sight!
Umbridge speaking arrogantly to Dumbledore surrounded by Ministry Aurors. Umbridge is running rampant at Hogwarts, stirring up trouble. Umbridge sitting in the headmaster's office. Umbridge cowering before an enraged Sean. Umbridge laughing maniacally while clustering around Voldemort. Umbridge becoming Minister of Magic!
In the final scene, a pair of familiar eyes appeared behind Umbridge, suddenly meeting Sean's gaze! Voldemort could actually detect his spying! Worthy of being the Dark Lord!
Exiting the spiritual sight state, Sean endured the discomfort and said nothing, suddenly closing his eyes tightly.
Just then, Sean could feel someone using a handkerchief to wipe the corners of his eyes. As he was about to ask something, he heard his grandfather Gavin whisper, "You just entered spiritual sight. What did you see? You were actually backlashed by what you saw. Don't move; let me wipe the blood tears from your eyes. When you recover a bit, I have some potions here to relieve eye fatigue and damage that you can use to wash your eyes."
As soon as Gavin finished speaking, Dumbledore continued, "When Sean entered spiritual sight just now, I happened to pat his arm, so what Sean saw were scenes from my future perspective?"
Without opening his eyes, Sean nodded lightly and asked quietly, "Is it convenient to speak here?"
"When I started speaking, I had already used magic to envelop the three of us. Our words sound like meaningless murmurs to others and won't attract attention. Don't worry."
Hearing Gavin's words, Sean felt relieved and spoke directly, "The things seen in spiritual sight might not only be viewable through touch. What I just saw – some scenes at first were indeed from Professor Dumbledore's perspective, but later became scenes from another person's future."
"What did you see, Sean?"
Dumbledore looked at Sean, somewhat curious about what he had seen that was serious enough to injure his eyes.
"I saw Dolores Umbridge. She had a transcendent position at Hogwarts, even becoming Hogwarts' headmistress. I saw her being driven out of Hogwarts and briefly falling into disgrace, but soon she was standing beside Voldemort, becoming his confidante and Death Eater, and eventually she became the Minister of Magic that Voldemort installed. As for my eyes, in the last scene I saw, a pair of eyes appeared behind Umbridge. Cold and merciless, cruel yet sharp. I think these eyes very likely belonged to Voldemort, to Voldemort at full power!"
As Sean's words ended, neither Gavin nor Dumbledore spoke immediately.
Before long, Gavin finished wiping the blood tears from Sean's eyes and directly applied a drop of potion to each eye. Although he hadn't opened his eyes, when Gavin's potion dripped onto his eyes, it immediately seeped in through the skin and gaps around the eyes, instantly making his previously aching eyes feel cool and greatly relieving the pain.
"Keep your eyes closed and rest a while longer. I'll tell you when you need to open them."
"Alright, thank you, Grandfather."
"Don't be so formal; just rest well."
The meeting continued, and the abnormality on their side went unnoticed due to Gavin's magic. Gavin and Dumbledore also quieted down, apparently thinking about something.
With his eyes closed, Sean couldn't see their expressions and naturally couldn't guess their thoughts. The meeting was somewhat lengthy. Sean, with his eyes closed, was almost falling asleep when it finally got to the main topic.
"Sean, open your eyes. You might need to go up for the promotion ceremony soon."
"Alright."
Slowly opening his eyes, fortunately the lighting at the meeting wasn't very bright, so Sean's eyes weren't stimulated. After the initial discomfort passed, everything returned to normal.
Gavin leaned closer, carefully observing Sean's eyes, then nodded slightly. "Good, looks like there's no major problem. How frequently have you been triggering spiritual sight recently?"
"About once or twice a month."
"That frequency is quite frequent. It looks like you're about to fully awaken your spiritual sight ability. When that happens, you'll discover a new world. You'll find that many problems are no longer problems, and many mysteries will be easily resolved."
"Can these eyes see through to the answers of things?"
At Sean's words, Gavin immediately raised an eyebrow and said, somewhat surprised, "You really do exceed my expectations every time."
