Hogwarts Emerald

Looking at the raised arms, Umbridge was in a dilemma.

On the one hand, Umbridge wanted to take the opportunity to embarrass Ada and teach her a harsh lesson; on the other hand, Umbridge was worried that she could not speak up to Ada and would be rendered speechless by her nonsense.

Therefore, Umbridge did not immediately ignore Ada who raised her hand, but mentally calculated her chances of winning.

After thinking for a while, Umbridge suddenly realized that she was the senior deputy minister of the Ministry of Magic and a professor at Hogwarts. What was she afraid of a student doing!

After overcoming her last desire to survive, Umbridge said: "Drizzt, do you also have questions? Do you also want to question the Ministry of Magic?"

Umbridge's voice was still whispering, and no enemy would be particularly jealous when meeting her. Although Umbridge wanted to strangle Ada to death, she still had to pretend.

"I don't quite understand. We just have some questions and confusion about the curriculum. How can this become a question about the Ministry of Magic?" Ada asked doubtfully, and then she specifically added, " Professor Umbridge!"

Umbridge stood up on the podium, perhaps thinking it would make her look taller.

She said: "I've already said it, Drizzt. If you are listening carefully, you should know that "Magical Defense Theory" was carefully selected by education experts from the Ministry of Magic. My course schedule is in line with the curriculum approved by the Ministry of Magic. ."

"To question my course schedule is to question the Ministry of Magic and Minister Fudge!" Umbridge continued. She looked at Ada and wanted to know what else Ada had to say.

Umbridge was disappointed again. She did not see Ada getting angry. Instead, she saw the students in the classroom waiting for Ada to continue to refute her.

What made Umbridge most angry was that these students had an expression called "hope" on their faces.

"I would also like to ask Professor Umbridge," Ada asked, "Have there been any recent changes to the regulations for the Ultimate Wizarding Level Examination?"

Umbridge was stunned for a moment, thought for a few seconds before saying: "There are no changes. As I said last night, keep what should be kept, improve what needs to be improved, and abandon what should be banned."

"Since there are no changes, it means that when we take the exam next year, we will still have to take both the written exam and the practical exam." Ada asked again, "Professor Umbridge, am I right?"

The questions Ada raised were exactly what the students in the classroom were worried about.

They did not learn any defensive spells in class, received no guidance, and had no opportunity to practice. How could they take the practical exam?

At that time, the examiner asked the candidates to cast a defensive spell, but it turned out that it was the first time for them to use this spell, or even the first time they had heard of it... Who dares to pat their chest and guarantee that they can succeed in the first time?

At this time, Umbridge also realized Ada's trap, and she secretly blamed herself for being too careless.

"Of course it is, but you don't have to worry at all." Umbridge adjusted her mentality and said slowly, "You just need to read this "Magical Defense Theory" thoroughly and remember the contents inside. This book is enough Let you master defensive spells in a safe way."

"But, Professor Umbridge," Ada held up the "Magical Defense Theory," "With all due respect, this book does not mention any defensive spells. I really can't figure out how to master them safely."

"We will take the exam next year, and the examiner will ask us to cast a defensive spell. What should we do? Tell him that this content is not in our textbooks?"

The students immediately echoed Ada's words, and the classroom suddenly turned into a vegetable market.

"That's right! We can't drop our book bags!"

"That's right, we can't even practice, how can this be done!"

"What's the use of just learning theory? Endorsing it can't solve the problem!"

…

"Silence! Raise your hands to speak in my class!" Umbridge said impatiently, "It's still a long time before you take the exam. As long as you read this book thoroughly, you can pass the exam!"

The students were still very dissatisfied, but after Umbridge's suggestive words, many students calmed down.

"As long as you listen to the Ministry of Magic, you can pass the exam. The regulations can be modified appropriately."

Pull a batch and beat a batch. This was Umbridge's way of dealing with it. She thought that as long as everyone was relieved of their worries about the exam, she would only have to face one Drizzt.

"Very good, Professor Umbridge. Anyway, you have changed a lot of rules, and this one is right." Ada applauded and said, "It's just a small matter of underage students casting spells outside the school, and you mobilized almost all of them. The whole Wizengamot also used the formal courtroom, which is very good! Really!"

This statement confused the students. Most of them didn't know about Harry's trial during the summer vacation. Only a small number of students had heard it mentioned by their families. However, this does not prevent everyone from understanding the sarcasm in Ada's words.

That is to say, Fudge failed to expel Harry. If Fudge had succeeded, everyone would have known about it.

Without giving Umbridge time to reply, Ada continued: "We just have questions about the learning objectives in class and it becomes questioning the Ministry of Magic and defying the will of the Ministry of Magic. You have even revised the laws in recent years. Is there still a small exam rule left?"

This sentence aroused everyone's dissatisfaction again. Everyone hated Umbridge's domineering behavior just now.

"We listen to the Ministry of Magic and Professor Umbridge can let us pass the exam. This is no problem. The pressure on us has been relieved a lot. It's great!" Ada's applause rang out again.

Then, she changed the topic and said: "But Professor Umbridge, what should we do if those who are unwilling to listen to the Ministry of Magic attack us?"

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the classroom that finally calmed down became a pot of boiling water again.

"Attack? God, why do you have such terrible thoughts in your little head?" Umbridge said in surprise, "Do you think you will be attacked in my class? Or do you think Hogg Watts is not safe?”

"It won't happen in school, but what about outside?" a student said loudly.

"Yeah, we can't stay in school all the time. We have to leave school sooner or later." Another student also said, "Who can guarantee that we will not encounter danger in our lives?"

The crowd was furious, and the students asked questions more enthusiastically than the old men and women who went to the supermarket to grab eggs.

This was also mixed with the shouts of the twins, who said in a strange way: "That's right, Professor, can you protect us for the rest of our lives? The world outside is not peaceful at all!"

Umbridge was very angry, her body was trembling slightly, and she yelled: "Shut up!"

The sound in the classroom suddenly became fainter. Umbridge looked around at everyone in the classroom, and her face became more and more vicious, like the old witch in Muggle stories.

"I'm stressing again, you have to raise your hands when speaking in my class!" Umbridge said through gritted teeth.

Next, Umbridge mentioned Fudge, the Minister of Magic. When she mentioned her boss, her tone returned to her previous coquettish tone.

"Under the rule of Minister Fudge, the magical world is peaceful and peaceful, and what you are worried about will not happen at all. If you hear any bad remarks, they are just rumors spread by some people for their own selfish purposes. There are no magic Looking back, the wizarding world will only get better and better under the leadership of Minister Fudge."

The people here are all seventh-grade students, all adults. Even if they can't distinguish right from wrong, they can still understand some basic words. Isn't the "returning devil" the mysterious man? That "certain people" refers to Dumbledore, Harry, and Ada.

However, no student mentioned the mysterious man from the beginning to the end of this class, and no one said that the danger outside came from the mysterious man. Umbridge, what does this mean? It's not a self-inflicted crime, or is there no silver in this place?

Seeing that the students no longer asked questions but were lost in thought, Umbridge realized that she had made a mistake. Especially when she saw the smile on Ada's face, Umbridge wished she could turn back time.

"Quiet and peaceful?" Ada asked, "Then why does the Ministry of Magic still maintain violent institutions such as Aurors and Strikers? What about the prisoners in Azkaban?"

"Strong words!" Umbridge said, "That is a necessary precaution to protect the safety of the magical world! As for Azkaban..."

"That's the problem of the former minister, the problem of the former minister... right?" Ada rushed to say, "Professor Umbridge wants to say this, Minister Cornelius Fudge is really 'pure and pure' !”

Of course Umbridge wouldn't say that, and even if she had the courage, she wouldn't dare to say that. But after Ada's confession, no matter how she explained, it all sounded like she was making excuses.

"Confinement, Drizzt! You will pay for your rudeness!" Umbridge roared viciously.

"I have been calling you Professor Umbridge, but you are calling me Drizzt. Who is the more rude person?"
