Hogwarts Life Guide

From that day on, Umbridge began to exercise her rights as a senior investigator. She began to observe every professor's class... Tangning had not met her yet, but she had heard a lot. Her behavior as she sat in was less than flattering.For example, Professor Trelawney in the Divination class was speechless when questioned by Umbridge in front of a group of students.

God knows where Umbridge gets so much free time after class, but considering that she still lets students read books and learn theory by themselves during class, it can explain something.

Until Professor McGonagall's second period of Transfiguration class this week.

When Tangning arrived at the classroom, Umbridge was already there, sitting leisurely on an unknown chair at the front of the classroom, holding a writing board in her hand.

Class hasn't started yet, most of the students are looking at each other, and at most they are whispering.

Not long after, Professor McGonagall strode into the classroom. Judging from her expression, it seemed that she had no idea about the existence of Umbridge.

"Okay," she said, and the students immediately stopped looking around. "Mr. Finnigan, please come here and hand out the homework... Miss Brown, please take this box of mice... Don't be so stupid, girl, they don't It will bite you, give one to each student."

Tang Ning's paper received an E rating, second only to the best O, which is pretty good considering it was judged based on OWLs standards.

"Cough, cough." Umbridge coughed unwillingly, the same cough she used to interrupt Dumbledore on the first night of school.

But Professor McGonagall pretended not to hear: "Okay, students, please listen carefully, Dean Thomas, if you keep tossing that mouse like that, I will put you in confinement. Now, most students can successfully Reciting the disappearing spell makes the snail disappear. Even those students who still have a little snail shell left have mastered the key points of this spell. Today, we are going to..."

"Cough, cough." Umbridge coughed again.

"What?" Professor McGonagall said, turning around and raising her eyebrows together.

"Professor, I just want to know if you have received my note, which notifies the date and time of investigating your class status..."

"I obviously received it, otherwise I would have asked you what you were doing in my classroom." Professor McGonagall said, decisively turning her back to Professor Umbridge. "As I just said: today, we are going to practice the more difficult mouse disappearing spell. Well, here, the disappearing spell..."

"Cough, cough."

"I don't understand," Professor McGonagall said coldly, turning to Professor Urmridge, "how can you understand my usual teaching methods if you keep interrupting me? You know , When I speak, I generally don’t allow others to speak.”

Umbridge looked like she'd been slapped.She finally calmed down and didn't speak any more. Instead, she pretended to straighten the parchment on the writing board and started writing angrily.

Jeffrey, who was sitting next to Tangning, covered his mouth so hard that he almost laughed.

Professor McGonagall looked indifferent and said to the class again: "The disappearing spell I just mentioned is becoming more and more difficult to master as the animals that need to disappear become more and more complex. The snail is an invertebrate. With animals, it's not very challenging, but as a rat is a mammal, it's much more demanding. This isn't some magic you can do with dinner in your mind. Okay... you already know the spell, let me Let’s see how you’re doing…”

In Professor McGonagall's case, Umbridge did not follow Professor McGonagall around the classroom like Geoffrey said in Professor Trelawney's class.She just sat in the corner and wrote down notes on the writing board. When Professor McGonagall finally asked the class to pack their things and get out of class, she stood up with a scary face.

Tang Ning believed that once the students spread the word about what happened in class, Professor McGonagall would be able to gain back the points she lost in the auditorium.

After class, Umbridge walked towards Professor McGonagall. When Tangning passed the podium, she was pulled by Hermione and slowed down, just in time to hear Umbridge ask again:

"How long have you been teaching at Hogwarts?"

"It will be thirty-nine years this December," replied Professor McGonagall stiffly, snapping the bag shut.

Umbridge made a few more notes.

"Very well," she said, "you will have the results of your investigation within ten days."

"I can't wait." Professor McGonagall said in an extremely cold tone, and then strode towards the door. "Hurry up, you guys." As she said this, she pushed everyone who stayed behind out.

After a small setback, Umbridge was not discouraged. During Downing's next Care of Magical Creatures class, she showed up with a writing pad. Professor Grubbly-Plank, who was the substitute teacher, did not have the aura of Professor McGonagall. He was cross-examined by Umbridge, including many questions involving Hagrid.

Like former reporter Rita Skeeter, Umbridge also realized that Hagrid's half-giant status and unique hobbies were excellent entry points for making articles.
