harry potter book of crimes

Although Umbridge didn't want to mention Hermione's name at all, in class, it was a "right" for students to ask questions. Even if she wanted to ignore it, she had to do so within a certain limit.

Looking at Hermione's unwillingness to stop asking questions if she was not allowed to do so, Umbridge had already prepared her own set of words. In her opinion, that ignorant girl with a stubborn face must be trying to go against her.

Because the look in that girl's eyes was exactly the same as that of a stubborn boss in the Ministry of Magic.

However……

"...I personally think it is very exciting!"

Neither the classmates around nor Umbridge sitting behind the desk could guess what Hermione said.

"Um...really?" Umbridge still had that sweet and disgusting smile on her face, but there was a feeling of discomfort in her heart, "My dear, since you think so, it couldn't be better -

—Sit back and read on!"

But Hermione had no intention of sitting down. She still stood upright behind the desk, her eyes firm and alert.

"Of course, I really enjoyed reading it, but -" She paused deliberately to make everyone's eyes more focused, and then continued, "In fact, I would rather hear what you think about it, professor."

With some understanding of this book, I believe it will help us get better results in the O.W.Ls exam."

There is no doubt that a variety of students facing a variety of teachers will create a variety of classrooms. But in the final analysis, the direct goal of students going to school is to obtain results in exams.

No matter what Umbridge planned to do at Hogwarts, she came in as a "professor", so she had to respond to Hermione's words.

Not only was there nothing wrong with Hermione's words, but she also showed her admiration for the textbook very openly.

"Oh, of course, dear..." Umbridge suppressed the inexplicable irritability in her heart and said with a smile on her face, "What's your name?"

"Hermione Granger, Professor." Hermione replied quickly.

"Very good, from your words, I clearly feel your love for this book," Umbridge nodded and said, "Of course I will give you a detailed explanation, but it must be after you read it.

Later - Miss Granger, I would like you to read the first chapter first, okay?"

"Professor, actually..." Hermione pretended to lower her eyes, then raised her head and said, "Because this book is so wonderful, I couldn't hold it back last night and spent most of the night reading it.

Memorize it..."

"Ahem"

Harry, who was sitting aside completely confused, accidentally choked on his own saliva after hearing these words.

"Wha - um - really?" The fake smile on Umbridge's face froze inconspicuously, "Then you can recite it -"

"Chapter 1, Basic Principles for Getting Started. As we all know, Magical Defense is a discipline that protects young wizards from inappropriate spells. Based on its nature, we should proceed from legal and reasonable premises to protect ourselves from..."

Hermione memorized it very smoothly without even a single stumble, but to be honest, although Umbridge had read the entire book, she really didn't have the ability to memorize it in one go.

But asking her to open the book and compare it, even if she is really thick-skinned, is just in vain.

Because even if Hermione memorizes it wrong, it can only be rewarded but not punished. After all, as long as Hermione starts memorizing it, she is correct and is a "good student" who loves to learn.

"Well, okay, very good..." Hermione hadn't carried it for long before she was interrupted by Umbridge, who was in a dilemma, "Although there are some omissions, this is understandable, but when you are studying, you can't just

Rely on rote memorization and understand the author's intention during the reading process..."

Umbridge spoke very fast this time, obviously to prevent Hermione from interrupting. Because her first two sentences were just an excuse for her to regain control of the situation. If Hermione found out,

, then she will lose more than she gains.

However, Hermione did not find fault with Umbridge's two face-saving remarks. She just stood on her seat and quietly waited for Umbridge's long routine to come to an end.

A few minutes later, when Umbridge warned everyone again to read the textbook carefully and not just take it for granted, Hermione spoke again.

"Yes, Professor Umbridge said it very well! We should have a deeper understanding of the theory of Mr. Wilbert Slinka, the author of this book," she nodded extremely seriously, and then continued, "About

On this point, I read an important point made by Mr. Scullin in the book——"

"Mr. Scullin stated that the use of any offensive defensive magic should not be encouraged."

"Yes, my class will teach you how to learn magical defense in a legal, safe and risk-free manner, and use it to protect yourself." Umbridge raised her eyebrows and said, "Miss Granger

, do you have any questions about this?"

"I strongly agree with this point of view! Because it will neither hurt others nor yourself...but..."

Having said this, Hermione rubbed the thumb and index finger of her right hand subconsciously, which was to relieve some of the emotions in her heart.

"However, our ancient magic script professor, Mr. McClain, does not adhere to this point of view——"

Her speaking speed also suddenly increased.

"In the personal audio-visual meeting during the summer vacation, Professor MacLean used a very aggressive magic to drive away Voldemort, and he actually received the Second Order of Merlin Order!"

"Professor Umbridge, I think Professor Maclean's behavior is disrespectful to Mr. Slinka and you, Professor, and is also irresponsible to himself - there is something wrong with his Order of Merlin!"

After the welcome dinner, Umbridge had someone send information about Maka overnight. However, she could only say that she had no way of starting with "Maka McClane".

Maka's resume is obviously very jumpy, with many records ranging from positive to negative, but no matter which one, it is so "big" that people dare not interfere at will.

Especially recently, since Maca's "spy" identity was revealed, the biggest negative cases have been completely turned back to the positive.

Even if she, Umbridge, wanted to "tamper" in it, it wouldn't be possible to do it in a short while - the people and things involved are too deep.

At the moment, Hermione has cast an image of "Umbridge's supporter" on herself, but she suddenly throws the most fundamental point in "Magical Defense Theory", a textbook designated by Umbridge, to Hermione's mind.

on the head of the card.

This made Umbridge couldn't help but twitch the corners of her eyes.

The Order of Merlin is assessed by the International Federation of Wizards. Can she say "no"?

Even if she wants to start from this point, she must prepare sufficient evidence secretly. If she dares to talk nonsense in public, someone might invite her to the Wizengamot for a drink another day.

Tea.

So Hermione can say these words, but she can't - who makes her not only a professor, but also a high-ranking official of the Ministry of Magic?

"Well... I am about to report this issue to the Ministry of Magic..." Umbridge was really choked by her, but she could only hold back her anger at this time, "Miss Granger, please sit down.

Get off!"

Umbridge has "struggled" in the Ministry of Magic for so many years, relying on various unfair means to reach the top. But even so, being able to climb so high in the Ministry of Magic shows that her superficial skills are still quite good.

At least, under Hermione's hidden offensive, she still didn't become angry, but the fake smile on her face became extremely strong.

However, this time it was Hermione's turn to ignore her will.

"Thank you, but..." Hermione pretended to be regretful, "Now that the International Federation of Wizards has awarded Professor Maclean the Order of Merlin, then we can still continue with this "Magical Defense Theory" which is contrary to the meaning of the Federation's award.

Study?"

"Of course!" Umbridge took a deep breath, "The International Federation awarded Mr. Maclean a medal in recognition of his achievements and contributions. As for whether his behavior is appropriate, this requires further review and discussion.

Already."

She said kindly in a sickeningly sweet tone: "So, as I said just now, I am ready to report this matter to the Ministry of Magic - please sit down, Miss Granger!"

"Hermione, she sat down, she finally sat down!" - This was a thought passing through everyone's minds at the same time.

During the rest of the class, Umbridge never said another word, and the students also kept their mouths shut.

If nothing else, it was because of Hermione's words just now that they felt that whatever they said now was redundant.

People are almost dismissing this textbook. Is it possible that I can do better?

When most students didn't like Umbridge, only a few were able to stand up and say a few more words. Not everyone could confront the professor.

But from another perspective, since Hermione can stab the old woman with a soft knife to make the old woman speechless, wouldn't it be great?

When the bell just rang, Umbridge immediately walked out of the classroom with her book under her arm without even looking back.

"Hermione, what happened to you just now? That's not like you?"

Harry and Ron both looked surprised, but Hermione smiled.

"Yes, I know that too..." she shrugged, "Actually, I just wanted to argue about the content of this book at first, but Umbridge kept ignoring my raised hand and instead let me

I have more time to think..."

"...Then I suddenly recalled the behavior of Maka and Dumbledore yesterday. I think that is telling us one thing -"
