Chapter 626: Come and give us a lesson
Chapter 626 Come and teach us a lesson
In addition to Divination and Transfiguration classes, Umbridge also attended Professor Flitwick's Charms class.
According to Cedric, this was the most blunt Charms class he had ever taken. Professor Flitwick kept a straight face throughout the class, dealing with Umbridge who was asking questions. He was completely different from previous classes. passion at the time.
"We have to think of a solution." During dinner, Cedric said worriedly as he had no appetite at all: "If she continues like this, she will not only destroy Defense Against the Dark Arts, but also other subjects. "
"Probably not." Kyle said, "The investigation into the professor shouldn't last too long. After all, it requires her to stay in a different classroom every day. Umbridge should have other things to do, no. I will spend my time attending classes every day.”
"I hope it's like you said." Cedric sighed, "Actually, even if Umbridge only destroyed one Defense Against the Dark Arts, it would be bad enough.
“The mysterious man has made a comeback, and his Death Eaters must be planning how to deal with us, but even at this most critical moment, we learned nothing in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class.”
Mikel and Ryan on the side nodded in agreement.
Cedric is right, they definitely can't deal with the mysterious man, and there is no need for it. That is Principal Dumbledore's job.
But if a war really breaks out, those Death Eaters will not let them go just because they have not learned Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts.
They need the ability to protect themselves.
For a time, sighs began to be heard throughout the table.
Kyle didn't speak. He thought of the last scene when he met Fudge at the Three Broomsticks.
Judging from Fudge's behavior at the time, he must have been tempted.
If Fudge can announce the resurrection of the mysterious man on behalf of the Ministry of Magic, then the course of Defense Against the Dark Arts will definitely change. At least they will have one...or even multiple reliable professors.
But what Kyle didn't expect was that he could actually remain calm and remain motionless for so long.
Perhaps Fudge wanted to get rid of the threat of Dumbledore first.
Or maybe he is still hesitating...
After all, there are pros and cons to announcing Voldemort's resurrection. Although there will be no change of leadership during wartime, if you are not careful, it may arouse everyone's fear.
At that time, there is a high probability that he will be directly kicked out of office.
I can think about so much, but the pressure is still not high enough.
Kyle shook his head.
It's a pity that Rita Skeeter has been targeted by the Ministry of Magic recently because of what happened last time. She is unable to publish any more articles, and Dumbledore is not willing to cooperate.
Otherwise, he might still be able to find a way to help out and give Fudge a push.
"Feel sorry…"
Kyle was thinking about it when he suddenly heard a familiar voice in his ear.
When he looked up, he realized that Hermione had come over from the Gryffindor table at some point, followed by a nervous Harry and Ron.
“What’s the matter?” Kyle asked.
"That's it..." Hermione glanced around and whispered, "There are a lot of people here, can we go to a quieter place?"
“It doesn’t have to be so troublesome.” Kyle took out his wand and tapped it lightly.
“Close your ears and listen!” Kyle said, “Okay, now no one else can hear what we say.”
This spell was learned by Kyle from Snape's "Advanced Potion Making". It can mark off an area and fill the ears of everyone around it with an unidentifiable buzzing sound. It has a good anti-eavesdropping effect. good.
Hermione was a little surprised, but also pleasantly surprised.
“That’s right.”
Although she had never seen this curse, she did not doubt Kyle's statement and said directly: "I think you should also know what a bad teacher Umbridge is. We can't learn anything from her. What knowledge about defense against the dark arts."
"Of course." Kyle said: "In fact, we were discussing this just now, so what do you want to say?
"To be clear in advance, if you want us to unite and drive Umbridge out, forget it...she has Fudge's backing, which even Professor Dumbledore can't do." "No, I know. There's no way to get rid of her." Hermione said hesitantly, "I was thinking that maybe we could... do it ourselves."
Cedric suddenly became interested, "Do you mean that we should learn Defense Against the Dark Arts ourselves?"
"Yes, that's it." Hermione said, her tone suddenly becoming emotional, "We need to be prepared to deal with whatever is coming, I mean, we need to be able to protect ourselves, not in the classroom On, facing those theories and parchments, he lived in a daze.
“So we need a teacher, a proper teacher who can teach us how to use spells and correct us when we make mistakes, like Sirius or Professor Moody.”
Hermione became more and more excited as she talked, and would glance at Kyle from time to time.
“And we have such a person around us. I dare say he is more suitable for this job than most people.”
“I think I know who you are talking about.” Cedric smiled, “You are right, he is indeed very suitable.”
Kyle looked at Hermione's shining eyes and Cedric's malicious expression, and instantly understood what they meant.
So, out of instinct, before Hermione could speak, he said directly: "Yeah, I fully support what you said, this is a good thing."
“So you agree?” Hermione said excitedly.
"Yes." Kyle nodded, "I know you want Cedric to teach you Defense Against the Dark Arts, of course there is no problem, I am the first to agree."
“Great…” Cedric patted Kyle’s shoulder happily, but when he was about to say something, he suddenly realized something was wrong.
"Wait a minute...Hermione clearly said..."
"I know." Kyle interrupted him, "You are thin-skinned and embarrassed to agree. It doesn't matter. I agreed on your behalf. You're welcome."
At this time, not only Cedric, but also Hermione was confused.
She came here this time because she actually wanted Kyle to teach them Defense Against the Dark Arts.
Last night, she had a long discussion with Harry and Ron, and they all agreed that Kyle was the most suitable candidate.
There is nothing to question about this. After all, the honors Kyle has received are all displayed in the prize showroom, including two unprecedented special contribution awards to the school, the "Today's Transfiguration" Most Potential Newcomer Award, and the youngest Triwizard Hegemony Award. The winner of the tournament and the youngest member of Sir Merlin.
It can be said that Kyle gets a new honor every year...the special contribution award to the school, which everyone thinks is extremely difficult, has become the most inconspicuous one for him.
So in Hermione's opinion, Kyle is simply the best candidate to replace Umbridge, and Harry and Ron also think so.
"Actually, we want you to teach us." Ron muttered quietly: "If it were anyone else, it would be better to ask Harry."
"Hey, don't say that." Harry stopped him quickly and looked at Cedric apologetically, "Sorry, Digory, it's not what you thought..."
"It doesn't matter." Cedric waved his hand, "Because I think so too."
"No, I'm not suitable." Kyle shook his head decisively, "Wanting to teach others more about what you know is completely different from how many spells you know."
"I don't think there is any difference." Ron was a little dissatisfied.
From his point of view, professors are powerful wizards. Vice-principal Professor McGonagall is more powerful than ordinary professors, and principal Dumbledore is the most powerful one. Is there any problem with this?
"Of course there are differences." Kyle glanced at him, "For example, the Transfiguration Curse, before the sixth grade, Professor McGonagall demonstrated it to me. So it's hard for me to explain to you how to do it. And what should I pay attention to because I haven’t experienced it.”
After listening to Kyle's words, everyone's expressions were wonderful, especially Harry and Ron. Their faces felt burning, as if there were two salamanders lying on them.
Let’s not mention the transfiguration in the sixth grade for now, but the transfiguration in the fifth grade is a huge test for them... Even with Hermione’s help, it will take them several days to barely pass.
As a result, Kyle now told them that he only had to watch it once?
This gap is probably too big, and both of them found it difficult to accept it for a while.
Even Hermione's mouth was open and she couldn't speak. She felt that Kyle was showing off something just now, and the evidence was conclusive.
