Chapter 222 Umbridge Vs. Hagrid
However, Fleur Delacour was appointed by the headmaster only after the Ministry of Education recommended Umbridge, so her professorship was revoked from today.
The "Education Order No. 23" now issued represents Umbridge's senior investigator. In addition to her original identity as the professor of "Defense Against the Dark Arts", she has the highest voice in the school and can even issue appropriate emergency education orders.
She has the right to review all teachers to ensure that they can meet the standards. The article claims that these new measures have been warmly supported by students' parents and have been approved by Headmaster Dumbledore.
Those contents attacking Dumbledore were directly skipped by Hermione.
"What should I do?" Harry asked nervously.
Hermione rolled her eyes at him and analyzed: "Dumbledore did not object, and he was still smiling and congratulating that woman at the staff seat. Obviously he has a backhand. Let's wait and see!"
Ron and Harry looked at the staff seat. It was just as Hermione said, but Fleur was wronged. She was so wronged that she was about to cry at the seat, and was comforted by Professor McGonagall.
However, strangely, Dumbledore still nodded happily in agreement and asked the students to study hard in class.
Without Catalina's class, the most popular professor of the year naturally fell to Professor Delacour.
With her patient attitude, full of enthusiasm, and precise educational program, she quickly conquered the students from grade one to grade seven. Even the girls who were originally jealous of her quickly accepted this teaching method full of love and strength.
She was not as violent as the fake Moody, nor did she threaten Chen Bin with fear, but an enhanced version of Lupin. She knew that men and women worked together and did not get tired, so she arranged for each pair of male and female students to understand each step first, and then work together in front of carefully selected medium and low-damage creatures to use magic to practice the knowledge in the book.
Most importantly, each assignment she assigned was completed by at least three students of the opposite sex, and there was no requirement to submit a paper that was dozens of inches long.
This perfect matchmaker, er, love god, indirectly facilitated three pairs of fourth-grade lovers within a week, increased the goodwill among classmates, and proved with strength that she was completely qualified for this position.
She only got the lowest score in last year's competition, but any student who had attended her first to fourth grade class would speak up for her - it was not that the enemy was too strong, but that the levels were too difficult.
In terms of real combat ability, she was also among the best in last year's cross-level simulation battles and club activities. Except for a few losses at the beginning due to not adapting to the rules, she was simply a general who won all the time. Even Hermione at that time was not her opponent, and could only rely on potions and rules to remain undefeated.
However, the students recognized her ability, but it did not mean that Umbridge would recognize it. From that day on, she took over Fleur's class and became the only designated professor of "Defense Against the Dark Arts" for grades one to seven.
After breakfast, Dumbledore took Fleur to the principal's office. When she came out, her face was full of joy, and she didn't look like she had suffered much of a blow.
No one expected that in the following week, students would see Fleur wandering around the castle all day, occasionally assisting in different classrooms.
On the day when the new education order was issued, whether it was Sprout's "Herbology" class or Snape's "Potions" class, the results of the O.W.L.s exams once again became the focus. With the hint of the prophecy, Harry specifically asked Hermione about the operation skills of this "Potions" class, and finally escaped Snape's ridicule.
During the meal, the twins and Lee Jordan said that Umbridge went to Flitwick's "Charms" class to do some evaluations, and the process was quite polite, compared with the usual domineering.
In addition, the three people's discussion of O, E, A, P, D, and T ratings almost confused Harry.
Modern colleges and universities in various countries also have different ratings, and Hermione would not be surprised by the ranking method in the wizarding world, but the T was really unheard of.
In the afternoon class, Trelawney still used the nonsense teaching method to instill the knowledge points of the "Dream Interpretation Guide" into the students. Although this crazy woman was not serious in class, her academic level was still acceptable in Western Europe, but she didn't know how to teach and her magic was too mediocre.
Suddenly, the pink witch rushed into her class, took out a writing board with a smile on her face, sat a few inches behind Trelawney, and kept writing and drawing.
The Goddess Stick was abnormal in this class. She was interrupted by the witch from time to time and needed to answer several confusing questions.
In the end, Umbridge even asked the Goddess Stick to make a prophecy for her, which finally pissed off the Goddess Stick.
The Goddess Stick refused at first, and then her voice suddenly became ethereal, her whole body twitched and her eyes rolled wildly, just like a zombie.
This weird scene attracted the attention of all the students who were watching, but Ron and Harry frowned because it was different from the content of the prophecy book.
Moreover, they both knew that once the female stick entered this state, it meant that she would issue a true prophecy.
The female zombie trembled for a while, and her arm pointed at the witch behind her in a strange arc, but her face was facing the students. "This person... this semester... will be sent to Azkaban... No one can save this person..."
Then, she pointed her finger in the direction of Harry and continued in a trembling and weird voice: "Tell the fate thief... come back soon... I... I... surrender... everyone cooperates and shares... "
Her voice became smaller and smaller, and finally she seemed to have exhausted all her strength and could not continue.
The stick woke up instantly, but the classroom was still silent. Umbridge obviously didn't know her strange ability, so she just raised her eyebrows and scribbled a few strokes on the writing board.
"Okay." She said softly: "Okay, if you can only do this at best..."
She turned and walked away, and Professor Trelawney stood there blankly, muttering to herself: "Did I say anything just now?"
This class became depressing because of this terrifying scene. After class, many students also asked Harry what the fate thief was, but he and Ron were also confused about it.
Ten minutes later, when they arrived at the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, the two and Hermione became invisible again. Umbridge still ruled the students with high pressure, not allowing them to show their wands, and they had to follow her to read the text paragraph by paragraph.
After Hermione silently cast the anti-disturbance spell without a wand, Harry and Ron told Trelawney about her abnormality in class.
Hermione thought for a moment and guessed, "Last time she told Harry about the July boy, and now she has told Harry about the prophecy of the thief of fate again. Let's assume that Harry is the July boy..."
"I can't defeat Voldemort at all." Harry interrupted immediately.
"Hey, Harry." Ron soothed, "This is just a guess, don't deny it immediately."
"Okay, you are a boy born in July, and you may not be the boy who can defeat the mysterious man in the previous prophecy. Are you satisfied with this?" Hermione rolled her eyes at him and continued, "The thief of destiny is likely to refer to Mother Isa and Bin, because they provided detailed prophecies and compiled them into seven thick volumes. So, I think the voice wants you to tell them that the owner of the voice has admitted defeat and wants to cooperate with them, but it seems that something went wrong and stopped talking halfway. We just need to tell Mother Isa the whole thing, and the rest is not something we can handle at all."
Although Harry and Ron did not agree with Hermione's words, they could do nothing about it. Throughout the class, Hermione continued to read other textbooks with her head down, and the other two continued to discuss the previous topic endlessly.
After dinner, Harry still relayed the matter of Trelawney to Sister Isa through Hermione's text machine.
Isha's reply was also very simple: "I don't know what this means, but I will tell Binbin about this. Don't think too much about it, just focus on your studies. This year's O.W.L.s are very important to you."
In the "Charms" class the next morning, Umbridge finally decided to attack Professor McGonagall.
However, in terms of aura alone, the old witch really can't compare to McGonagall. Umbridge used her signature "Hem-Hem" cough twice to remind her to ask questions, but the aura of the devil McGonagall was fully open, choking her.
"What?" McGonagall's eyebrows gathered together, as if she didn't get a satisfactory answer and wanted to let the pink witch taste the feeling of the mouse on the table disappearing.
The old witch also tried her best to put away her arrogance, but her words were still not very friendly. "Professor, I just want to know if you received my note informing you of the date and time of the investigation of your class..."
"I obviously received it, otherwise I would have asked you what you were doing in my classroom." After Professor McGonagall retorted, she adopted Umbridge's common "butt-to-people method" and continued to explain to the students the precautions of using the Vanishing Charm on mice behind the witch's back.
When the third "Hem-Hem" sound rang, Professor McGonagall simply handed the witch to death, blaming her for constantly interrupting her normal teaching.
Professor McGonagall also treated the witch as air from beginning to end, and the witch really became air. She could only sit in a corner and desperately write things on the writing board, with a face full of resentment that could scare people to death.
Harry and Ron were also very worried about the next "Care of Magical Creatures" class, because they knew that the original Hagrid had temporarily left Hogwarts, and this class was only taught by Professor Grubbly-Plank, who was considered to have blocked Umbridge's difficulties for him.
"Do you think Dumbledore is not prepared?" Hermione rolled her eyes at the two of them and went straight to Hagrid's hut to gather.
Soon, the result came out. Umbridge was angered by Hagrid.
When the class started, Umbridge, who was full of fighting spirit, seemed to vent her frustration in "Transfiguration" on Hagrid.
As soon as she came, she asked arrogantly: "Are you the offspring of a giant and a wizard?"
As soon as this was said, the faces of the students changed instantly.
Everyone thought Hagrid would be angry, but he still maintained a bright smile.
"Say it again?" Hagrid asked with a smile.
Umbridge was like a hen with feathers blown up. She took five or six steps back in an instant, fearing that the giant would smash her into a meat paste with one punch. Purebred giants have super magic resistance, plus their strange strength, they can really kill adult wizards with one punch.
