Chapter 922: Umbridge's Speech

Harry was so used to their quarrels that he didn't think it was worth trying to mediate them.

He took advantage of this time to relish his steak and kidney pie, followed by a large plate full of his favorite treacle tarts.

Yes, Harry and Ron don't need to care, but Ivan has to take the responsibility of calming Hermione's anger.

It's easy though, he's already experienced, just divert Hermione's attention.

It works every time, whether it's kissing, bringing up a new topic, or something else...

Ivan told Hermione what he planned just now, and she really became interested and discussed it with him.

They feel that it is not too late, and they are ready to start action this weekend.

In the name of the chairman of the boys' student union, Ai Wen gathered all the first-year freshmen, and the reason was to lead them to familiarize themselves with the campus.

If everything goes well, this event can be held for a long time...

Of course, enough time must be set aside to help Harry and Hermione improve their strength and learn magic. Ivan also thinks that the number of people can be expanded appropriately, but this kind of thing is too sensitive. Gryffindor begins inside.

Wait until everyone realizes there's nothing to learn from Umbridge before scaling it up further.

Finally, the students had eaten and drank enough, the sound of the auditorium gradually became noisy, and everyone was a little drowsy.

At this moment, Dumbledore stood up again.

The talking stopped immediately, and everyone turned to the headmaster.

"Okay, now that we are digesting another extremely rich and delicious meal, I ask everyone to be quiet for a while, and listen to me talk about the precautions for the new semester as usual." Dumbledore said, "First-year students should know that the hunting ground Students are not allowed to enter the Forbidden Forest here. Several of our senior students should know this by now."

"Also, Mr. Filch, the administrator, asked me, and he told me it was the four hundred and twenty-sixth time, to remind you all that there is no magic in corridors between classes, and many other rules, It's all on that long list, taped to Mr Filch's office door."

Almost all of the list was prohibited items, and there were more than 30,000 items.

Almost all of the last year's additions have been Fred and George joke products, luckily Filch hasn't figured out that the new joke products are a brand, all made by the Weasley twins he hates the most. made.

By the time he's cleared this up, he'll probably put all Weasley joke merchandise on the contraband list.

"This year, we have had two changes in our teaching staff. We are delighted that she welcomes back Professor Graplan, who will teach you Care of Magical Creatures. We are also delighted to introduce Professor Umbridge, our Defense Against the Dark Arts New teacher."

There was a polite if not enthusiastic applause in the auditorium, and everyone seemed to think that Umbridge was terrible.

As for Professor Graplan, she was already very old, so she would not be able to teach for long, and would only temporarily replace Hagrid.

After the applause stopped, Dumbledore continued, "The selection of the Academy Quidditch team will be..."

He stopped short, and looked at Professor Umbridge questioningly.

Since she was not much taller when standing up than when she was sitting, no one could understand why Dumbledore suddenly stopped talking. At this time, Professor Umbridge cleared his throat, "cough, cough .”

Only then did everyone realize that she had stood up and was about to speak.

Dumbledore only looked surprised for a split second, and then he sat down alertly, looking intently at Professor Umbridge, who seemed eager to hear what she had to say, which the other teachers did not conceal so subtly. Surprised.

Professor Sprout's eyebrows were almost flying into her fluttering head, Professor McGonagall was squeezing her mouth so tightly, which was never before, and Snape also looked sullen, like Umbridge I owe him a lot of money.

In fact, no new teacher had ever interrupted Dumbledore before, never before.

Many students were secretly laughing, this woman obviously didn't understand the rules of Hogwarts.

Only people who know Umbridge's background can't laugh.

"Thank you, Headmaster!" said Professor Umbridge with a smirk. "Thank you for your warm welcome."

Her voice was high, high-pitched, and breathy, like a little girl's voice, which made people sound disgusted.

Umbridge is not young anymore, and Aiwen wants to know, how did she make such a voice, is it a false voice?

And the way she dresses, in that fuzzy pink cardigan, feels off-putting, too.

But the most unacceptable thing is her indescribable temperament, which is annoying.

Considering her background and character, it is even more annoying!

"Cough, cough!" Umbridge coughed a few more times to clear his throat, and continued, "Well, I must say, it's great to be back at Hogwarts!"

She grinned, showing her sharp teeth.

"It's so good to see these happy little faces looking up at me!"

Aiwen can be sure that, except for her, none of the thousands of faces in the auditorium is happy.

On the contrary, they all looked surprised that someone took them for five-year-old children.

"I am eager to get to know you all soon, I am sure we will become very good friends!"

After hearing this, the students exchanged glances with each other, and some of them showed a smirk almost undisguisedly.

"I'll be friends with her, just don't ask me to borrow her cardigan." Parvati, both of them chuckled silently.

Professor Umbridge cleared her throat again, and some of the breathiness in her voice was lost as she continued.

Her voice was much more serious now, and her words were dry, as if they had been memorized by heart.

"Come back to business, the Ministry of Magic has always believed that educating young wizards is a very important matter. If some of your innate innate talents are not cultivated and exercised under careful and meticulous guidance, there may be no results. Unique in the wizarding world There are ancient arts, which must be passed on from generation to generation, or they will be lost. The precious storehouse of magical knowledge accumulated by our ancestors must be preserved, supplemented and perfected by those who are fortunate enough to practice the noble profession of education.
