Even though more parents joined the protest team, the Ministry of Magic headed by Fudge still did not give up letting dementors patrol Hogwarts, only reducing the number by [-]%.

As a last resort, Hogwarts stopped all outdoor activities and courses that required leaving the castle, such as the protection of magical creatures, and herbalism was also transferred inside the castle.

"It's a great misfortune, isn't it?" Hermione rolled her eyes holding the book, "I still need to go to the herb plantation shed to observe the new plants I learned today!"

"Who said it wasn't?" Cynthia blinked lazily, and put the books in her hand on the desk to tidy up, "It's really not possible, I will take you back to my home during the Christmas holidays, mother likes herbalism and potions, and I She also taught Harry when he was a child." I don't remember when Lily asked Cynthia to call herself mother and James father, and the happy time of these few years also made Cynthia forget that she was not from Eveson's family at all. daughter.

Hermione opened her eyes with joy: "Really? It really makes me happy to visit your home." She happily threw the book on the bed, and threw herself into the quilt: "The nobles have such a rich collection of books. , It's a pity I didn't go to Draco Harry's birthday last time, otherwise I would have seen it a long time ago."

When Luna entered the room, she was still the same, she was out of shape, and she floated to the desk and sat down like a wandering spirit.Cynthia and Hermione were used to it, so they didn't bother Luna who was immersed in her own world.

The recent thing is not only Ravenclaw who loves to learn, but even the other three colleges are complaining that they can't take outdoor courses well, although the reasons are different.There have been fewer students playing in the mud recently, which made Hagrid very lonely.

At dinner time that day, around the middle of the meal, Professor Dumbledore knocked open the door with a sad face for the first time, and walked straight in.

"Albus, what's the matter with you?" Seeing Professor Dumbledore sitting down, Professor McGonagall asked worriedly.

Professor Dumbledore frowned, slammed his mouth twice and still didn't know how to tell this matter, he also had a headache. "It's not good news."

"What is the Ministry of Magic doing again?" Professor McGonagall's expression turned cold suddenly, and he looked at Professor Dumbledore seriously with cat-like eyes.

"Tomorrow, the Ministry of Magic will appoint Ms. Dolores Umbridge to come to Hogwarts to review the quality of teaching. In fact, it is to check whether there are any dangerous factors in the school..." Professor Dumbledore said dryly, he Sighing: "I'm sorry for letting the Ministry of Magic interfere in Hogwarts' affairs." He looked apologetically at the professors on the teacher's bench beside him.

The expressions of the professors are mostly worried and angry. They probably know what kind of person Dolores Umbridge is. Besides, Hogwarts is an independent system. It is difficult not to make people not angry when they are blatantly placed in Hogwarts.

Hogwarts, like St. Mungo's, is a neutral zone that is not controlled by any party. The Ministry of Magic wants to reach out, and more of what they want to do. Most people can understand after thinking about it. It is nothing more than Fudge wanting to control all rights In his own hands, the first one is Hogwarts, the second one might be St. Mungo, or even the Wizengamot.

"Oh, Merlin! Albus, it's not your fault." Professor Sprout comforted, with a worried expression on Yuanyuan's face, "Fudge doesn't think much of us."

Professor Flitwick flattened his mouth: "Then there is nothing we can do?"

"No, how can our respected professor be easily controlled by others!" Professor Lockhart still looked calm, eating the food on the plate happily. Professor Snape couldn't see it, stepped on it, and was Professor Lockhart, who was speaking happily, suddenly wrinkled his whole face, and looked at Professor Snape flatteringly.

"Hmph, shut up."

The little animals sitting under the teacher's seat didn't hear the whispers of the professors, and no one paid attention to Professor Dumbledore after he sat on the teacher's seat, so they were completely unaware of what was coming tomorrow, teacher The professors in the chair can completely foresee how crazy Hogwarts will be in the days to come.

To the surprise of the little snakes, the headmaster came to the common room before they went to bed, and except for the first time when the school started, he asked them to gather and admonished them.

"Starting tomorrow, you must pay more attention to your own words and deeds. If you let me know that you have violated any of the Slytherin rules, it will not be a simple matter of locking you up! What should be said, what should not be said Yes, marginalized behaviors, you must also be responsible for yourselves. In short, point deduction is absolutely impossible in Slytherin! Always wear your heads on your body! Heads of the colleges and grades, don't relax anymore! "

When Professor Snape left, the little snakes looked at each other in blank dismay. It stands to reason that the same is true of their usual demands. Why do you want to repeat it again tonight?Or should we be stricter on this basis?Could something happen tomorrow?

When returning to the dormitory at night, the little snakes contacted their parents one after another. Those who have double-sided mirrors use double-sided mirrors, and those who don’t have owls.In the end everyone got the same message, even though the owl was a bit behind.

The Ministry of Magic is sending someone to Hogwarts.

Almost all Slytherin's little snakes have begun to prepare for it. The little snakes who are well versed in conspiracy have been influenced by their families since childhood, and they can still figure out these tricks of the Ministry of Magic.

Of course, not only Slytherin, the children of Ravenclaw and the little nobles of other colleges also contacted their parents, because they were more or less warned by their own dean. Questions are asked directly, and this is answered by Professor Flitwick. Hufflepuff is notoriously well-behaved, and will only be more honest.Only Gryffindor, after being taught seriously by Professor McGonagall, not only will not settle down, but is even more eager to try, especially the group of people represented by the twins.

At breakfast time the next day, the little animals were attracted by a mass of pink-yellow hair on the teacher's bench.They thought it was some kind of cat sitting on the teacher's seat, and this cat was also powerful, and they couldn't help being amazed that they could squeeze Professor McGonagall into another seat.

Professor Dumbledore briefly talked about some of the school's recent arrangements, including how to deal with the dementors in the sky above the Quidditch pitch, and learning how to call God to guard has become a top priority.

"Cough, cough."

It was the third time he was interrupted. Professor Dumbledore stopped helplessly, and he looked at Umbridge suspiciously.He just put introducing her to the end, why is she so impatient.

The woman was not much taller standing than she was sitting, and for a moment no one knew why Professor Dumbledore stopped, but then Umbridge cleared his throat and said, "Mmmmmm." The students saw a short The fat pink woman stood up and cleared her throat to make a speech.

The students below who knew Umbridge's identity suddenly realized that the Slytherins and some other aristocrats looked at her with a slight disdain that was not easy to detect. After all, they also more or less knew that she was here. The deeds of the Ministry of Magic.

Professor Dumbledore just glanced back, then sat down coolly and looked at Umbridge attentively, as if, since this woman came out to introduce herself, he didn't have to worry about what to say.The other teachers couldn't hide their surprise.Professor Snape's brows were hidden by bangs, and Professor McGonagall's mouth was the thinnest Harry had ever seen.Never before had a new teacher interrupted Professor Dumbledore's speech.Many students also started giggling. This woman obviously didn't know how to behave in Hogwarts. Even the Slytherins who didn't like Professor Dumbledore would maintain superficial respect.

"Thank you, Headmaster," Umbridge said with a smirk, "for giving us a welcome speech." Her voice was high again, urgent and girlish, and Harry felt a surge of disgust that he couldn't explain. , all Harry knew was that he hated everything about her: from her stupid voice to her puffy pink cardigan, and Harry smacked Draco in disgust, who gave a chuckle, He threw Harry a silent and wandless spell without hesitation, and closed his ears to listen.She coughed again and continued.

"Well, I must say it's nice to be back at Hogwarts!" she said with a grin, showing her very prominent teeth, "and to see so many happy little faces! You know, I'm also from Ravenclaw graduated."

Blaise glanced around with a frown, not a single face he saw was pleasant.Instead, they all looked like they were five years old again.Blaise couldn't help grinning at Pansy, and Pansy, who was irritated after hearing Umbridge's words, sent a footprint directly.

"I'm so eager to get to know each of you, I'm sure we'll be great friends!"

The students exchanged glances with each other, some almost laughing out loud.

Umbridge cleared her throat again, but when she spoke again, some of the urgency dropped from her voice, and now she spoke in a dry voice.

"The Ministry of Magic has always believed that it is important to educate young wizards and witches. The precious gift that comes with your birth will be lost without careful education and guidance. The ancient and unique skills of the wizarding order must be passed on to future generations, so as not to be lost. We The treasures of magical knowledge discovered by our ancestors must be guarded, supplemented, and perfected, and it is the noble teachers who bear this responsibility."

Umbridge paused here and bowed slightly to his colleagues, but none of the teachers returned the salute.

Professor McGonagall's black eyebrows had been drawn back, and she looked like an eagle at this moment. Professor McGonagall and Professor Snape exchanged a meaningful look, and at the same time Umbridge cleared his eyes again. voice and continued to deliver his speech.

"The successive Headmasters of Hogwarts have brought something new to the onerous task of administering this historic school. And that is a matter of course, for without progress stagnates and rots. Still, the interest in progress for the sake of progress It has to stop, the traditions we strive for and test are often perfect. Then it's a balance between old and new, timelessness and change, tradition and innovation..."

Umbridge was still engrossed in his successful speech, but many of the students below had begun to lose their minds. Harry was eating the fruit that Draco fed him bit by bit; Pansy and Blaise were arguing quietly about the latest costume Popular; Daphne was looking at the latest Muggle novels, and Nott was previewing the Transfiguration class he was going to take later.

"thank you all."

The sweet thank-you sound finally brought Umbridge's speech to an end, and many students began to look at their watches. The first class was about to start, and they had to hurry.

The author has something to say: Brother Tao is very happy to be with his children every day, but he gets off work late, so the update is a bit slow, sorry (//▽//)
