To say that Umbridge couldn't wait to get the headmaster job at Hogwarts didn't do her the least bit wrong.The next morning, when a never-before-seen mass of owls crowded in through the skylight, almost all the students realized that something was wrong——

"Merlin, my trysophobia is going to hit me." Scorpius muttered and moved his plate away so that the barn owl in front of him would not plunge into his bowl of cream soup up.This furry and reckless guy, it staggered a few times and jumped back in front of Scorpius, then held its head high and proudly raised one of its legs.

"I don't subscribe to the Daily Prophet anymore." Scorpius frowned, and said to the little brown guy solemnly, "Is there something wrong with you?"

"...I don't understand what's the use of you talking to an owl, for God's sake, it's just a messenger." Draco cut in grumpily, grabbing the owl roughly and taking it away. He got off the newspaper on its feet, "Don't hesitate, take a good look, almost everyone has today's "Daily Prophet."

Scorpius raised his head in surprise, and then found that it was true—for example, Pansy, who was sitting opposite him, was humming a song and happily opening a newspaper that she would never have read even after millions of years, and then " "Oops," she looked up, as if asking Scorpius if he wanted raspberry jam, and said with a smile, "We have a new principal."

... This so-called new Headmaster is of course Ms Umbridge.

[Educational change?It was still Dumbledore's dereliction of duty-the first headmaster of Hogwarts who was forced to step down early in a century. ] — that's a truly appalling headline, and indeed one that fits with the provocative style that The Daily Prophet has apparently become more and more adept at of late.

So the auditorium exploded.

People were talking loudly about the credibility of the story, "Of course it's fake - don't you understand! The reporters who are now staying at the Daily Prophet are some old lunatics talking nonsense!" Ron Weiss Leigh spoke loudly to everyone around him who could hear him.

"What are normal reporters writing about? "The Quibbler"?" Daphne sneered with disdain, and then put the newspaper in her hand aside. No wonder she, since Firenze was killed, she I don't want to see Ron Weasley more than before. For this reason, Pansy often teases her, "This is wrong, Daphne, you are determined to marry that silly red-haired brother", but every time after being ridiculed, Daphne is right. Ron's tolerance level will drop to a new level.

"That magazine...in a way really opened up a new world," Scorpius said hesitantly.

Pansy, on the other hand, made no secret of her surprise: "Oh my god Daphne, you still watch that kind of rubbish?"

"Looking at the cover of that magazine, I will feel that my IQ has been seriously attacked." Draco mocked without looking up.

——Before the topic of Slytherins became more and more remote, the heroine of today's "Daily Prophet" headline finally realized that she needed to brush up her sense of presence.

She cleared her throat, as usual, with exasperating affectation—a nasty act, but functionally it worked.

There was almost an instant silence in the Great Hall, and everyone looked at the teachers' bench at the same time - it was very, very disturbing that there were terribly few people sitting there today, and Dumbledore was missing.

"Whenever those young, vibrant eyes look at me, my blood boils." Umbridge walked around the long table and walked over to the long table between Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff. In the aisle between the tables, if you look carefully, you will find that the students around her are hiding to the side with faces full of pain.

"Look at your cute little faces." The pink toad said coquettishly, "I think, no matter how tiring the principal's job is, it's worth it—"

"...Malfoy's donation to Hogwarts has been halved this year." Draco said blankly, "I'm going to treat my ears and eyes with the ones I save."

"—I never deny what Dumbledore has done for us, however, he is old." Umbridge smiled, showing a hypocritical expression of forced regret, "Yes, he is still human after all, he Old and confused...so the Ministry decided it was time to put the poor old man to rest—"

"... Hasn't anyone reminded her that she's not young herself?" Draco said incredulously, staring at the silver cup in front of him.

"What's the matter with you, Draco?" Scorpius glanced at him. "I think Umbridge likes you objectively, though she's annoying."

"...To fundamentally correct one of your misunderstandings, you only need a simple rhetorical question: Who stipulates that if a person likes me, I have to like her passionately?"

"Well, no one stipulates this."

"Very well, it seems that your brain is not broken, so please shut up."

"..."

Umbridge's inauguration speech lasted until the bell rang for the first period - in which all kinds of strange adjectives definitely took up the vast majority of the sentences.When the crowd rushed out of the auditorium to his classroom, Scorpius followed the crowd, firmly convinced that he was not alone in the confusion.

When I woke up, I changed the headmaster, and the former headmaster disappeared——

After this matter is done, is there no one to say hello to the poor students in advance?

The first class of the day was Professor McGonagall's Transfiguration class, and Scorpius was fortunate enough to directly come into contact with the anger from the Hogwarts vice-principal. During the whole class, Professor McGonagall hardly smiled, and her wand was casting the Transfiguration spell. I almost poked the beetles that should have been turned into buttons into a ball of mud a few times.

In Care of Fantastic Beasts class, Hagrid made no attempt to hide his anger when he unceremoniously called Umbridge a "disgusting female bandit" - oh yes, Hagrid was back just last week , with scars all over his face, as if he came back from fighting a dragon in Egypt.

As for Potions, it must be said in fairness that the atmosphere in Professor Snape's class was already terrible, so even if the headmaster changed, it wouldn't make it worse.

So the only happy member of staff in the whole school was Filch - probably because his whip with the little barbed barbs had finally come in handy, and now he wore it every day like a madman I wandered back and forth in the castle, afraid that I would miss any student who violated the school rules.

The atmosphere of the entire Hogwarts has become extremely weird.

Although everything was business as usual among the Slytherins, Scorpius thought it was just an illusion of peace.

All the turmoil seemed to be covered under a thin film, just waiting for someone to pierce it open——

Of course, in the end, Scorpius never expected that it was Umbridge himself who tore apart the superficial calm and pushed the bloodbath to a climax.

She celebrated her appointment by doing something earth-shattering - she approved Ginny Weasley's request to be transferred.
