[HP] Luna, you are in for a big deal

Chapter 36 Dolores Umbridge

Everyone waited in the Order of the Phoenix until three or ten minutes before the Hogwarts train departed, but Sturgis Podmore, who was supposed to protect Harry, did not show up. Moody angrily said that he would sue Dumbledore shape.But others didn't complain very much about this, because Harry's protection team was already very large.

"I really don't understand what kind of danger I can encounter." Harry muttered dissatisfiedly, he didn't want to keep everyone busy because of his own reasons.

Grimmauld Square is not very far from King's Cross Station. If Moody hadn't always reminded everyone to take a long way around, they might have arrived 15 minutes before the train's departure, until Sirius impatiently urged them to miss the train collectively. Moody had to give up his detour.

No sooner had Sirius and the children crowded onto the train than the train set off without even a chance to turn around and say goodbye to the other senders.

"Oh! It's finally liberated!" George exclaimed excitedly, "Hey, let's go find Li over there."

"See you later! Professor Black!" Fred said with a smile, "See you later, Luna!"

After the twins left, Hermione and Ron also went to the carriage dedicated to the prefects, leaving only Luna, Harry, Ginny and Sirius in place.

"Is there a special compartment for professors?" Harry muttered as he pushed his luggage forward.

Sirius grinned, "That's not true. I was supposed to arrive at Hogwarts a few days earlier, but I have to escort you, so I can only come with you."

The last few people found a relatively empty carriage, the only one in it was Neville Longbottom of Gryffindor, who had been in a state of anxiety since hearing that Sirius was the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher in a state of tension.

During the period, the carriage door was opened once, and Cho Chang came to say hello to Harry, which made Sirius laugh at him for hours, but Luna felt that this might be a good thing for Harry, since he liked Cho Chang, And Cho's ex-boyfriend, Cedric, has passed away, so maybe their relationship has a chance to go further, although Ginny seems a little melancholy about this.

After getting off the train, everyone didn't see the familiar huge figure greeting the freshmen, but another female professor was there, and she seemed to be the former teacher of the Protection of Magical Creatures class.

"Where's Hagrid, Sirius?" Harry asked.

Sirius shook his head and didn't answer him, "I'll go to the conductor's room, you go to the carriage first, see you in the auditorium later!"

"Maybe he's off on some mission." Ginny murmured softly.

This was overheard by Neville, "What mission?"

Luna quickly answered, "I think he might still be dealing with his snails! I really want to see how they look now."

"What is that!" Harry exclaimed suddenly, staring blankly at the carriages in front of him.

"What is what?" Ginny asked quickly, "Aren't those the school carriages?"

Luna was surprised to find that what Harry was looking at was not the carriage, but the Thestrals pulling the carriage, but he should not be able to see... By the way, he saw Cedric's death with his own eyes.

"You didn't see it?" Harry was even more surprised. He pointed out the Thestrals to Ginny, but Ginny couldn't see anything.

"Get in the car, Harry," Luna urged, "They're called thestrals." Luna's voice was very low in the second half, and she only said it to Harry. Harry looked at Luna in surprise, but Luna is already in the car.

"No one else can see?" Harry asked Luna anxiously in a low voice, "What the hell are they?"

"Only those who have witnessed death can see them." Luna's voice was very low.

In the Great Hall of Hogwarts, Luna still did not see Hagrid. It seems that he is indeed on some mission. On the staff table, Sirius is the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. The new woman is the new professor of Protection of Magical Creatures, so there should be no shortage of professors, so everyone can't figure out what the toad-like woman sitting next to Dumbledore is doing.

"Before the dinner began, I would like to introduce two new professors," said Dumbledore, "Professor Wilmina Graplan, who used to be a professor at Hogwarts, should have retired, but she Happy to teach you Magical Creature Care for a while longer."

There was a burst of enthusiastic applause in the auditorium. This may be because everyone is not very satisfied with Hagrid's teaching method, so it is undoubtedly an exciting thing to change the professor of this course, but Luna doesn't think so. She didn't think anyone could teach better than Hagrid.

When Dumbledore introduced Sirius, there were almost only a few people applauding in the auditorium. Except for those who knew Sirius, everyone did not have much affection for this man who had been imprisoned in Azkaban for 12 years. The fake news in the Daily Prophet also portrayed Sirius as a lunatic.

"Heh heh heh." A creepy laugh came from the toad-like woman sitting next to Dumbledore.

Everyone was surprised, because despite Dumbledore's very good temper, no one had dared to interrupt him while he was talking.

Dumbledore didn't care too much, he bowed slightly to the woman gentlemanly, then sat down and gave the woman the right to speak.

"I'm glad to see so many cheerful smiling faces..." The woman startled everyone when she opened her mouth, not only because her voice was sharp and harsh, but also because she actually spoke to everyone in the tone of a three-year-old child.

No one could tell how long this woman named Dolores Umbridge had been talking. Everyone was starving, and they were just looking forward to the dinner party.However, everyone still vaguely understood what this woman came to Hogwarts for. According to her, the Ministry of Magic assigned her to do the investigation, because the Ministry of Magic received many complaints from the parents of the students, saying that the school’s There's a problem with management (this is total bullshit, Luna thought grimly), so Umbridge will come to Hogwarts to record everything she sees and report it back to the Ministry of Magic.

In the end, Luna only came to one conclusion, and the Ministry of Magic began to intervene in Hogwarts.

Luna felt this clearly from the first day of fourth grade.

Dolores Umbridge kept shuttling through the classrooms, and she almost interrupted every professor's class. Luna remembered that in the first grade, a group of dwarfs that Professor Lockhart recruited on Valentine's Day were everywhere. Sending love letters also interrupts the professors' classes all day, but the difference is that those little people are much more beautiful than this woman Umbridge.

But compared to other professors, Sirius was the saddest, and Umbridge was obviously targeting him.

Luna's second class on the first morning was Sirius' Defense Against the Dark Arts, and she was with Slytherin. When Luna entered the classroom, she passed by Harry and others. Obviously their fifth graders It's just finished this class, but their faces don't have the excitement that they should have after getting along with Sirius.

Harry walked quickly angrily, and Ron and Hermione followed him in a panic. They didn't even say hello to Luna as they passed by Luna, as if they didn't see her at all.

Something must have happened, Luna thought, and then she saw the humanoid toad in the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom.

Umbridge was holding a notebook and talking to Sirius. It seemed that Sirius ignored her at all, but she wrote down a few words in the notebook from time to time.

"They're all here? Start class!" Sirius looked up at the fourth-year students from the two houses who had entered the classroom.

"Oh! Wait!" Umbridge's piercing voice reappeared, "Black, you haven't answered my question yet, do you not care at all about the fact that a student was seriously injured in the class just now?"

Sirius looked as if he was trying his best to suppress his anger, "It's only scratched a little. My class is a practical class, and it's normal for students to bump into each other."

"Oh! My God!" Umbridge exclaimed exaggeratedly, "Are you saying that your class will put students in danger? Who would dare to take such a class? Do you dare, children."

In the classroom are Ravenclaws who advocate wisdom and Slytherins who love themselves. They obviously don't know how to answer this question as if they were asking a three-year-old child.

But none of the people who answered didn't embarrass not only Umbridge, but Sirius as well.

"Of course!" Luna shouted, "Professor Black will teach us the best defensive skills!

All eyes of the class were on Luna, and Sirius gave her an approving glance.As for Umbridge, Luna ignored the look in her eyes, just wondering if she would recognize his last name as Lovegood.

"Don't you know how to raise your hand to answer the question?" Umbridge opened his eyes wide. "It seems that this is the classroom discipline at Hogwarts."

Luna felt that she had become more courageous facing such an annoying woman, "I am answering your question, you are not our teacher!"

Umbridge pursed her lips, she seemed to be angry, "Looks like you need someone to teach you how to be polite."

"I don't want to repeat what I said in the last class," Sirius said coldly, "You have no right to lecture my students."

Umbridge snorted twice, "I don't want to repeat what I just said, soon, you'd better..."

In the end, Umbridge left. Although Luna choked her, her focus was still on Harry. Later, it was heard that she went to Harry's classroom and stayed for the whole class.

"Unexpectedly, you are quite arrogant!" Sirius said, "in front of that toad."

Luna stuck out her tongue, "But it's unwise, isn't it?"

After Defense Against the Dark Arts class, Luna stayed until the end to help Sirius pack up.

"Yes, she is from the Ministry of Magic. Offending her may cause Dumbledore some trouble, but Hogwarts can't be left to her pointing. If she dares to enter my classroom again, she may be in trouble." She's got it."

Luna felt like Sirius was rebelling again, but it sounded great, if he could actually tease that toad.But in the end, Sirius still maintained a little rationality as a teacher. Instead of dealing with Umbridge directly, he cast a spell on his classroom to prevent anyone over 40 from entering.Sirius turned the classroom door into a one-way transparent. Luna saw Umbridge standing outside the door several times, unable to get in, stomping his feet anxiously, which looked extremely funny.

Most of the other teachers' classes were quite satisfactory, and Umbridge couldn't find too many faults, so even though Hogwarts was being "scrutinized" by this woman, the students were not very sad, and the attention of each house was very high. Focused on Quidditch selection.

Because there was no Quidditch for the whole year last year, and several players from each house have graduated, so new players need to be selected before the first season. Luna plans to run again this year. She feels that her hope this year Much older than in the second grade, after all, Luna was much better at Quidditch in the fourth grade.

"Ah! Ron, why are you here?" Luna was quite surprised to see Ron in the midair of the day's dawn.

Ron was even more taken aback, "Lu, Luna? What are you doing here?"

"Practice Quidditch." Luna was answering when a Quaffle rushed over, and Ron rushed forward and hugged the ball very dangerously.

Luna understood right away, it seemed that Ron was also practicing Quidditch.

"Are you training as a goalkeeper?"

Ron blushed, "Yes, I cast a spell on the Quaffle to make it fly towards me. I want to run for Gryffindor's goalkeeper. Don't tell anyone else!"

Luna understands Ron's careful thinking. He must be afraid that someone will laugh at him if he is found out. Others, Luna is not sure, at least the twins will laugh endlessly again.

Because Luna is going to run as a chaser, she and Ron, the goalkeeper, can practice together.So Luna and Ron are making rapid progress towards the status of Quidditch players.
