Chapter 611: Umbridge being ignored
Chapter 611 Umbridge Ignored
Sirius was taken away by people from the Ministry of Magic?
When he first heard the news, Kyle thought they were joking, but he soon realized that it was impossible for all fifth graders to be joking.
In addition to Hufflepuff, the fifth-year Gryffindor students were also talking about this matter, as well as Harry, Ron, and Hermione, who didn't even come to the auditorium to eat.
Kyle looked at the nearest fifth grade student and asked: "Susan, did you just say that Professor Black was taken away by the Ministry of Magic?"
"Yes." Susan Bones said: "Our last class in the morning was Defense Against the Dark Arts. When get out of class was about to end, a few people suddenly came. The leader said that someone went to the Ministry of Magic to complain about Professor Black. He failed to fulfill his responsibilities as a professor, resulting in several students being injured in class.
“Oh, Principal Dumbledore was there at the time.”
Kyle frowned. Just when he was about to say something, the door of the auditorium suddenly opened.
Dumbledore walked in with a serious face, accompanied by a witch wearing a pink cardigan.
Behind the two of them, Ron and Hermione pulled the angry Harry to the left and right, and dragged him to the Gryffindor table.
But not many people noticed this scene at this time. Everyone looked at the two people walking in front and whispered to each other.
Dumbledore came to the front seat of the classroom, turned around, and said in a very calm tone.
"I'm sorry, please be quiet. Before you enjoy the delicious food, I need to take up some of your time to announce two things."
The auditorium fell silent instantly.
Dumbledore said, "The first thing is Professor Black about Defense Against the Dark Arts. Because he needs to cooperate with the Ministry of Magic to investigate some matters, he will not be able to teach everyone during this period."
"But..." Dumbledore raised his hand and pointed at the witch next to him, "During this period, Professor Umbridge will take his place and teach you Defense Against the Dark Arts."
After a moment of silence in the auditorium, there was a sparse round of applause.
The sound was very small, and almost all came from the direction of Slytherin.
"They are talking nonsense!" Harry stood up angrily, standing out among the crowd.
He seemed to want to say something more, but the next second he was pulled back to his seat by several people next to him.
In the classroom seat, Dumbledore seemed not to notice, but Umbridge next to him turned to look at Harry, and then showed a smile that could no longer be fake.
"Thank you, principal." She turned her head and said, taking two steps forward.
Dumbledore smiled and gave up the middle position.
Umbridge cleared her throat and said sharply: "I must say, it's great to be back at Hogwarts."
"Oh, her voice is really uncomfortable." Cedric frowned and rubbed his arms, "Why does she have to talk like this? And that fluffy pink cardigan is really inappropriate. she."
“Personal preference,” Kyle said. “When I saw her at the Ministry of Magic before, she looked like this.”
“Have you met her?” Cedric asked. “What is she like? Will she be a good professor?”
"Let's put it this way." Kyle thought for a moment and gave a more pertinent answer, "Even Professor Quirrell and Professor Lockhart were much better than her."
“Oh…” Cedric groaned.
He really couldn't imagine anyone worse than those two people... If there were, it would probably be a troll whose head was caught in a door.
Kyle also sighed.
He had thought that Sirius might not stay until the end of the school year, but he had not expected to leave so soon.
It’s only been less than two weeks since school started.
At the classroom seat, Umbridge was saying in a dry, emotionless tone:
“The Ministry of Magic has always believed that educating young wizards is a very important matter. It must be carefully cultivated and some of your innate valuable talents must be exercised...”
Gradually, some students can no longer concentrate.
"Why do I feel like I'm studying the History of Magic?" Mikel covered his mouth with his hand and yawned secretly, "Also, when can we continue to eat...Today's lunch is fried pork chop. What if it gets cold soon? ."
No one answered him.
Ryan's head moved slowly, as if he was about to fall asleep in the next second. MacMillan next to him stared at Umbridge unblinkingly, looking very serious, but his eyes were dull. God, obviously had other things on his mind. Umbridge continued her tirade slowly.
The students around have started chatting with each other. Only a few people and professors are still listening, but their expressions are all very interesting.
Professor McGonagall’s eyebrows knitted together tightly, and Professor Flitwick seemed to be very interested in the fork in his hand. Even Snape didn't look happy because Sirius was taken away.
The more Connor listened, the more she felt something was wrong. She pulled Kyle's arm and whispered: "Why do I feel like the Ministry of Magic is going to interfere with Hogwarts?"
“It’s not like, that’s what they think,” Kyle said. “Look at what she said... some decisions are old and must be discarded?
“In the past few years, even last year, the Ministry of Magic would not have pointed out the decisions made by Hogwarts.”
At this time, Kyle suddenly noticed that Umbridge's head tilted this way.
Although it was only for a moment, he still noticed the undisguised resentment in the other person's eyes.
Well, now it seems that not only Dumbledore, but also himself has become the target of the other party.
This is... so interesting.
Kyle smiled, then picked up the fork and put a piece of fried pork chop into his mouth as if no one else was watching.
Cedric opened his mouth and looked at him in surprise. This action could be said to completely ignore Umbridge.
After noticing this, some people subconsciously looked at Dumbledore.
But the headmaster's attention seemed to be all on Umbridge, and he didn't seem to notice what was going on below.
At this time, some of the more courageous people who were not yet full could not bear it anymore, such as Fred and George.
They didn't care why Kyle acted so abnormally. They just started eating, laughing and chatting with others, as if Umbridge didn't exist at all.
Then, more and more people joined in.
On the classroom bench, Umbridge's voice became shriller and shriller, but no matter how hard she tried, she could not cover up the clinking sounds made by the students while eating.
Then she finally finished the last few words and turned to look at Dumbledore.
"Please continue, Professor Umbridge, I think what you just said is right." Dumbledore said seriously: "We really shouldn't make progress for the sake of progress. The new era requires a new order, and I completely agree with this.
“You really inspired me a lot and made me realize that I am not that competent as a principal.”
But at this moment, he suddenly noticed the students who were eating.
"Oh, so you've finished speaking?" Dumbledore said in surprise, "Sorry, I was so absorbed in listening just now that I didn't even notice... Professor Umbridge, you should remind me."
Umbridge's face darkened, and then she tried to force out a fake smile.
"Yeah, I'm done," she said sharply, and sat down.
She originally wanted to wait until everyone calmed down before continuing, but just now, she changed her mind.
Umbridge looked in the direction of Hufflepuff again. Kyle, who was chatting with others, had a flash of resentment and ill-intention in his eyes.
Dumbledore started to applaud, and other professors also clapped their hands a few times. Professor McGonagall looked at Umbridge and then at Kyle, her eyebrows knitted even tighter.
Although she didn't know why Kyle did what he did, Dumbledore didn't seem to object. So she held back and allowed more and more students to start eating while Umbridge was talking.
But this matter will definitely not be forgotten today.
She knows a bit about Umbridge, and using the word "small belly chicken intestines" to describe her is considered polite.
Such a person did not have an attack on the spot, which can only mean that she has a bigger conspiracy.
And what a coincidence, she is also a substitute professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts. It is too easy to cause trouble for a student.
Professor McGonagall was a little worried and wondered if she should find an opportunity to remind Kyle.
