Hogwarts Life Guide

Chapter 306 Conflict in class

"The class shouldn't be like this..." Hermione whispered to Tangning, "I read this book before school started. It said it was about Magic Defense Theory, but there wasn't a single defensive spell in it... This is not Defense Against the Dark Arts. What we should do in class. Tangning, we should do something!"

Tangning was stunned and asked, "What are you going to do?"

"Just do this..." Hermione raised her hands high.

"Okay..." Tangning didn't expect that Hermione would suddenly become so impulsive, but if she thought about it carefully, it was not an incomprehensible thing, and she didn't violate any classroom discipline - including the fact that Umbridge had just set Except for - er - whispers...

He was about to raise his hand along with Hermione when he heard Hermione's deliberately lowered voice, "Just leave it to me, I'll leave the backup plan to you!"

"No problem!" Tangning agreed. He didn't ask what the backup plan was. As we all know, "Plan B" means that if you don't have a plan, you'll be done with it.

Hermione's hands were raised in the air, but Umbridge turned a blind eye until more students discovered the boredom in the books.This was even more boring than Professor Binns’s lecture, and Professor Binns was still dictating anyway!

Even though Hermione was sitting in the back row, even though the classroom was still quiet, more and more students noticed that Hermione's actions, from back to front, affected more and more people.

Until more and more students who couldn't stand reading noticed the back row, and there were more than half of them.Even those who don't notice it, most are deserting.

Tang Ning estimated that the entire process would never take more than 10 minutes.In other words, Hermione raised her hands for at least seven or eight minutes, but Miss Granger was not bothered by this. She also stopped Tangning from trying to make some attention-grabbing noises.

Tangning understood that Hermione planned to talk to Umbridge through the classroom rules, raise her hand, and ask questions... As it turned out, she succeeded.

Because at this time, Umbridge could no longer ignore Hermione.

"My dear, do you have any questions about the content of this chapter?" Umbridge asked Hermione, as if she had just noticed Hermione.

"No, not about this chapter," said Hermione.

"Oh, we're studying now," Umbridge said in her high-pitched voice, with her usual small smile on her face, which looked extremely hypocritical, "If you have any other questions, we can do it after class. Let’s talk again.”

"I have a question about your course objectives," said Hermione.

Umbridge raised her eyebrows: "What's your name?"

"Hermione Granger," Hermione replied.

"Well, Miss Granger, I think these course objectives are very clear, as long as you read them carefully from beginning to end." Umbridge said in a determined cooing tone.

"I don't think so, though," said Hermione bluntly, "it doesn't say a word about using defensive spells."

There was a brief silence, and many students turned their heads to look carefully at the three course objectives still written on the blackboard.

"Use defensive spells?" Professor Umbridge repeated with a chuckle. "Gee, I can't imagine a situation in my class that would require you to use defensive spells, Miss Granger. You don't think so. Will you be attacked during class?”

Hermione frowned and said, "But surely the overall goal of Defense Against the Dark Arts should be to practice defensive spells, right?"

"Are you a specially trained education expert from the Ministry of Magic, Miss Granger?" Umbridge asked in her sickly sweet falsetto voice.

"No, but..."

"Well, I think you are not qualified to judge what the 'overall goal' of any course is. Our latest study plan was designed and formulated by wizards who are much older and smarter than you. You will use A safe, risk-free way to learn defensive spells!" Umbridge quickly interrupted Hermione, looked away, and once again turned a blind eye to Hermione's raised hand.

"What's the use?" Harry suddenly asked loudly, "If we are attacked, it won't be in a..."

"Raise your hands, Mr. Potter! In my class, students who want to speak must raise their hands first!"

Harry quickly raised his hands high. Professor Umbridge repeated her old trick and immediately turned her face to look elsewhere, but several other students in the classroom raised their hands.

"Can't we use magic?" Ron raised his hand and shouted, imitating Harry.

"You are……"

"Weasley." Ron said and quickly raised his hand.

Umbridge didn't continue speaking. She looked at the students who were still raising their hands, and her eyes stayed on Hermione and Harry who raised their hands again for a short while.Then Umbridge clicked on another student who was sitting far away from Hermione and Harry, probably expecting him to ask different questions.

But unfortunately, she won the lottery...

Harry's roommate Dean Thomas asked the same question as Harry: "Like Harry said, if we were attacked, there would be no risk."

If she had better luck and ordered Seamus next to Dean, maybe the problem would be different...just maybe...

Now Umbridge was furious.

"Let me say it again," Umbridge stared at Dean with toad-like eyes, a smile that looked very fake on her face, "do you think you will be attacked in my class?"

"No. But..."

Umbridge raised her voice, making Dean unable to speak.

"I don't want to criticize some of the school's teaching methods, but in this class you have come into contact with several very irresponsible wizards. They are indeed very irresponsible...not to mention..." She let out a harsh laugh, "There are also particularly dangerous half-humans and half-animals."

"If you're referring to Professor Lupin," Dean said angrily, "he's the best teacher we've ever had..."

"Raise your hand, Mr. Thomas! As I just said - the magic they introduced to you is very complicated, not suitable for your age, and has great potential harm. You are so scared that you actually think that you are three Every once in a while, you will be attacked by black magic..."

"In fact, we have been attacked by dark magic more than once in school!" Hermione retorted tit-for-tat, "If it weren't for those so-called 'extremely harmful' spells you said, everyone knows what the consequences would be. "

Bellatrix's attack at last year's dance resonated with the students who had witnessed it, and eventually discovered that Bella had been openly lurking in Hogwarts as a Ministry of Magic agent.

Gradually, the young wizards set their sights on Umbridge - after yesterday's dinner speech, the students here, as long as they were not too naive, all understood that Umbridge had a hidden identity as a special commissioner of the Ministry of Magic. …

The classroom was buzzing, Hermione's words piqued the interest of the students, and everyone temporarily abandoned classroom discipline.

"Quiet! I believe that my predecessor not only cast illegal spells in front of you, but also cast them on you." Umbridge said in a trembling voice, no longer hiding her anger, her face The fake smile is gone too.

She continued: "Well, the Ministry of Magic believes that theoretical knowledge can more effectively help you pass the exam. In the final analysis, allowing students to pass the exam is the purpose of the school."

But the change in Umbridge's attitude did not scare the students. In fact, during the year of getting along with Moody, everyone's courage has been greatly improved. This is true in a school that is already labeled as brave and impulsive. This is especially obvious on young lions.

It is worth mentioning that so far, all the people who have raised their hands to speak are Gryffindors, while the Slytherins seem to have no desire to express themselves in this class.
