Of course Chiara didn't know that Dumbledore and Snape had extended their tentacles of inquiry around her, but even if she knew, she wouldn't care too much.

Her identity was a greeting card that was always open to Snape, but someone had never opened it.

After the summer break, Chiara started fifth grade.

The plot was changed by her, but I don't know why some parts have not changed.Voldemort has not been resurrected, and the wizarding world still looks peaceful and stable.But when Chiara sat at the long Slytherin table and greeted the students one by one, she looked at the teacher's seat again, but she didn't look at Snape as usual.

Chiara's expression became a little frozen.

Snape had been watching Chiara from the moment she entered the Great Hall, following her every move out of the corner of his eye.Of course, he also noticed the movement of Chiara looking at the teacher's seat. In order to show that he didn't care, he deliberately turned his head and pretended to be listening to the chat between Flitwick and Sprout, just to avoid meeting Chiara. Eyes on.

But Chiara wasn't looking at him.

There was a bright pink ball on the teacher's table, so pink that almost all the students couldn't help but glance at it, but Chiara stared at this pink ball for a particularly long time.

Why is Umbridge still here?

The pudgy, middle-aged woman sat on the teacher's seat with a high air, looking down at the students entering the auditorium one after another, as if she was the headmaster of Hogwarts.

Zia stretched her hands to support her chin, and made a cute pose that didn't seem to match her, but the purpose was to cover the lower half of her face with her palms, so that she could think and hate The expression is not so obvious.

"Hey, Chiara. What did you do over the summer?"

A classmate at the long table was calling her, and Ziara blinked her eyes. She quickly put away her confused thoughts, turned around and smiled, and turned back into the friendliest girl in Slytherin: "I did some research. cosmetic……"

She forgot to look at Snape.

She had just said that three months ago, but three months later, she was ignoring that innocent Potions professor who was involved in the murder of Barty Crouch Jr.? !

Flitwick turned away after chatting with Sprout, only to be taken aback by Snape, who was staring darkly at the plate in front of him.

"What's the matter, Severus?" Flitwick asked cautiously, "Is there something wrong with the plate?"

"No problem." Snape said in his usual tone, but his voice was lower - it was already very low, and it couldn't be lower. "Of course there is no problem."

Chiara's doubts have never been answered.After her meddling, Harry announced that Voldemort's return event hadn't happened, but Umbridge came to Hogwarts anyway.In her opinion, there was no need for the Ministry of Magic to send Umbridge as an eyeliner to control Hogwarts, Dumbledore and Harry under such a stable situation.

So Chiara chose to find Draco Malfoy, a well-informed and loud-mouthed classmate, to inquire about information.

"Oh, her? Dolores Umbridge, she's Fudge's confidant, but my dad said she got there by flattering her." Draco said indifferently, "Barty Crouch The death at Hogwarts was a big deal, and the Daily Prophet was hyping it up all summer, so the Ministry of Magic sent her to the school, saying it was to supervise the teaching..."

Chiara glanced at the conspicuous pink on the teacher's table again: "What do you mean by supervising teaching?"

"It means trying to find trouble for Dumbledore." Draco smiled contemptuously, "I'd like to see how this lady sycophant can fight Dumbledore."

Chiara couldn't laugh.Because she knew that in the end Umbridge would have the upper hand against Dumbledore - albeit only temporarily.To make matters worse, there was no such thing as a reversal of the Battle of the Ministry of Magic that would surely bring down Fudge, Umbridge's backer, this time around.

If anyone in Hogwarts is familiar with what the so-called "teaching inspector" is, Chiara can definitely be ranked in the top three.She is too familiar with the education system and the bureaucracy, more familiar with the bureaucracy in the education system.

Most of Chiara's previous life was tied up with the school. She had seen too many personnel struggles among teachers, both openly and secretly, and too many methods used by teachers to "torture" students.Obviously, these Hogwarts students haven't realized how much power Umbridge holds in his hands, and even many teachers don't know that their fate may be in the hands of this woman in a pink suit.

Chiara isn't optimistic that the upcoming school year won't be much brighter than the year in the book's Order of the Phoenix.Umbridge is not a teacher, she is a power animal through and through, and as long as she exists at Hogwarts, she will never stop trying to gain power at the school.

She will endlessly test her sphere of influence and establish her position with acts of standing up again and again.

Just like many teachers would choose to use a surprise roll call to deter students, the difference is that Umbridge does not only deter students.She also has to intimidate the teachers, including Dumbledore, so she's bound to kill a teacher—just as she tries to drive Trelawney away in the book.

Chiara rested her chin on her hands absent-mindedly, looking as if she was a little sleepy from a day's train ride.But her brain was spinning crazily all the time, deducing possible variables in this semester based on the current situation and Umbridge's participation.

Her tasks this school year were no easier than killing Barty Crouch Jr.The remaining horcruxes are the "crown", "locket" and "golden cup" that have not yet been solved. The locket has been kept by Kreacher in Black's old house, and it is still safe; the crown is very easy to get, as long as Chiara wants to , she can burn it tonight.The Gold Cup is the hardest one to obtain, it's stored in Strange's vault, and she can't even get it out by disguising herself as Bellatrix...

Chiara likes to start with the hard and then the easy, and she puts the priority of the locket and the crown last.From the very beginning, she wrote how to obtain all the Horcruxes in the letter that was handed over to Dumbledore after her death. If she died before she was able to finish her mission one day, Dumbledore could easily complete the elimination of the soul. The tasks of weapons and Voldemort will not cause all kinds of accidents in the sixth part.

She will do the difficult ones first, and leave the simple ones to the old man.Chiara has been a three-good student since she was a child, so of course she knows how to respect the old and love the young.

Of course, her task for this school year is to get the gold cup, and the whole task can be summed up in a simple and rough word:

Rob a bank.

Ciara propped her chin and smiled suddenly, not at all reserved and polite.

Look, look, her studies are really magnificent.The defense against the dark arts professor who studied how to kill himself in the last school year, and how to plan to rob the bank this school year is simply more cost-effective than many repeat students.

Voldemort never robbed a bank when he was in school!

Dumbledore should give her a national scholarship!

"What are you laughing at?" Pansy asked her in a low voice. "Is that Umbridge funny?"

Chiara said lightly, "Yeah, don't you think?"

Pansy glanced at Umbridge, who was reciting dryly to the speech script on the stage, and looked at Chiara with a strange look: "Why didn't I hear it?"

"Listen with your heart," Chiara said with a smile.

How nostalgic.

-------------------------------------

Hogwarts students showed great discomfort in Umbridge's first month in office.They originally thought that this might be a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor who was on the same level as Gilderoy Lockhart, but soon they discovered that the truth was even worse——

Umbridge It never occurred to her to teach well.

"Put away your wands, please," she ordered before the first Defense Against the Dark Arts class. "I don't use wands in my class."

The students in this house of Slytherin seem to have the word "play by ear" in their blood. Umbridge didn't encounter any resistance at all, and all the students obediently hid their wands, rustling Half a minute later, Umbridge was now guaranteed not to have a single branch in his field of vision.

"Okay, very good." Umbridge said quite satisfied standing on the podium, in her deliberately pinched, soft-spoken, tonal tone, "I'm very happy to see everyone's cooperation, it will help We're going to improve our relationship over the next year, aren't we?"

Ziara looked up at her, her amber eyes unblinking and focused.

"Then, we will start the formal class next."

Umbridge folded her hands in front of her belly, a pudgy figure that made this supposedly demure gesture look like a comical middle-aged waiter.But she didn't notice it herself, so she just continued to say, "Good morning, everyone."

The classroom was very quiet, and Chiara was the first to react.She suddenly remembered something after a second and a half, and the short-haired girl immediately straightened her back, and replied her greeting clearly and loudly like a first-year child: "Good morning, Professor Umbridge!"

"Tsk, you didn't learn how to greet your teacher properly before, did you?" Umbridge shook her head, but she stretched out her stubby fingers and gave Chiara a distant nod, "But you're very nice , dear, what's your name?"

"My name is Chiara Lowe, Professor Umbridge, thank you for your compliment." Chiara immediately put on a false enthusiastic smile, "but the other students may just not react yet."

"Okay, let's do it again then," said Umbridge. "Good morning, students."

The Slytherins shouted in unison: "Good morning, Professor Umbridge!"

Umbridge was obviously satisfied: "Not bad, not bad."

This is an extremely, extremely boring class.

At a time when all the other teachers were emphasizing to them how important the fifth grade OWLS was and how hard they had to work this year to pass the OWLS, Umbridge chose to let everyone study with their textbooks.

Of course, this is not a problem for Ciara, rather she accepts this setting very happily.

Isn't that what happens in college classes?

Expect the teacher to give you lectures?Then it's better to copy the PPT back by yourself and crash it a week before the exam.

She was never a noble person, and she never considered whether other students could pass OWLS under the useless teaching of such a new teacher.Harry is the savior, he has a heart of gold that is kind and considerate of others, so he created Dumbledore's Army to help students who are willing to learn Defense Against the Dark Arts.As for Chiara, her opinion of Umbridge was the exact opposite of Harry's.

Umbridge was a vicious villain, and Chiara knew that from a previous life.But this is a villain who has temporarily held great power. When she is preparing for the OWLS exam and at the same time she has to consider how to snatch the gold cup, offending such a villain is completely harmful to others.

With her head down, Ziara seemed to be reading her textbook quite seriously.Umbridge's protruding, baggy eyes scanned the room and nodded with satisfaction.Apparently, she was quite impressed by Slytherin's acquaintance, and it was a good start for her.

Chiara turned a page in her textbook, which she hadn't even read carefully, and remembered something that was about to happen in another original book.

Umbridge, as the senior investigator buried in Hogwarts by the Ministry of Magic, has the power to evaluate and dismiss teachers.Soon, in no more than two months, this annoying, pompous little woman will be walking through every classroom at Hogwarts, teaching here for more time than she has lived. The senior professors will score and evaluate them to decide whether they will stay or not.

In the original book, poor Professor Trelawney became the first object of Umbridge to make an example of others.Chiara didn't have any special feelings for Professor Trelawney, because she didn't take a divination class (her electives were ancient runes and arithmetic divination), but she did have some feelings about Trelawney's divination. Interesting, after all, this is an efficacious witch certified by Rowling. In China, the divination fee is estimated to be five figures per order.

Chiara had some sympathy for Trelawney's possible future, but only a little sympathy.If Umbridge is bound to take a professor to the fore, then she will vote Trelawney out no matter what she says-there are only so many professors at Hogwarts, and they are also the few people who are at the bottom of the faculty. If Trelawney didn't leave, it might be Snape's turn.

Chiara is Snape's only villain, but she also knows that there are only a few people in Hogwarts looking forward to Snape's expulsion.She would rather kill Umbridge than see Snape leave Hogwarts Castle with his suitcase.

While establishing her prestige, Umbridge must also win over her own forces in the school.In exchange, Umbridge will inevitably share some of her power with her henchmen, and at the same time, her henchmen will also have a certain right to speak in the subsequent teacher evaluations.

This little right to speak and power can make Snape live a more comfortable life in the next year.

Since there will definitely be students who will get these powers... why can't she get them?

Chiara knew what her next actions would look like in the eyes of other students, "despicable", "unscrupulous", "slavish"...

But if you can get a whole year of peace by building a good relationship with Umbridge, and all she has to pay is some flattery that she is already familiar with, and the reputation that she doesn't care about, then why not? Woolen cloth?

When the get out of class bell rang, several people in the classroom almost fell asleep.Chiara packed her schoolbag in good spirits. Before leaving the classroom, she deliberately came to the podium and said goodbye to Umbridge with a smile: "Goodbye, Professor Umbridge, you have worked hard."

Umbridge returned a smug, disgusting smile: "Oh, you're so sweet, Miss Lowe. I noticed you read carefully in class. You've been a good student before, haven't you? ?”

Some students walked out of the classroom after passing behind Ziara one after another, and many of them cast their eyes on the back of Ziara who had a good conversation with Umbridge, but she didn't care, and responded with uncharacteristic enthusiasm: "You are too Compliment me, I'm just dying to read... Actually I think there is still a lot to learn, such as from you. I heard that you were already a fairly successful official in the Ministry of Magic. Someone like you I am also willing to come to Hogwarts to teach and supervise in person, I don't think everyone will forget your contribution to the education of the British wizarding world."

Draco, who was packing his schoolbag at the back of the classroom, heard what Chiara said, and silently asked, "What?"

Umbridge let out a sickly high-pitched giggle, and waved her hand at Chiara with mock modesty: "You have a sweet mouth, and that doesn't work for me. But you're right about one thing." , I am very concerned about education, education is related to our next generation... Oh, Miss Luo, I forgot to ask, are your parents wizards?"

Chiara smiled slightly: "My mother is a wizard, and my surname may not be well-known, because my family pays more attention to developing in the Muggle world... Our family has assets of about 1000 million pounds in the Muggle world."

Although her household registration is only her own.

Draco's mouth was even more exaggerated: "WHAT?"

The smile on Umbridge's face seemed much more sincere: "Really? Oh, no wonder, Miss Luo, you look like a well-educated child...We must communicate more in the future, I like you very much."

Chiara responded with a smile: "It's an honor to hear you say that, and so do I, Professor Umbridge."

After saying goodbye to Umbridge once more, Chiara left the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom.Draco chased after her, and asked with curiosity and some subtle annoyance: "How come you never told us that your family is so rich?"

"What's there to say?" Chiara kept walking, she had put away her smile, and just gave him a slight glance with a blank face, "I can give you each a bundle of Muggle banknotes at Christmas Or what, and isn’t it self-defeating to show off your wealth in front of you?”

"I thought you..." Draco was speechless, "So you are doing well in the Muggle world? After all, you are so rich, and you are the only one in your family!"

Chiara laughed self-deprecatingly: "It depends on how you define 'living well'."

They headed down to the cellar for their first Potions class of the term.Ciara suddenly thanked Draco a little, because she didn't know how to face Snape, who was standing on the podium and looking at her coldly, except pretending to talk to Draco when she entered the classroom.

She would also like to thank Harry, who was quite brave enough to accost her while Snape watched: "Hey, Chiara, how was your summer?"

"Pretty good," Chiara said with a smile.

The stock rose again, and she bought two more houses.

Harry also smiled awkwardly. He actually wanted to ask about Ziara Boggart, but it was obviously not a good time to ask under Snape's nose.He could only change the subject bluntly: "Your...your watch is fine. Don't you wear wrist guards?"

Chiara looked at her left hand. The shape of this watch was quite rough. It looked like a man's model at first glance. The dial was huge and the wristband was also very thick. It looked quite weird on her thin wrist.

But it covers the scars perfectly.

"Yes, I think it is necessary for me to buy a tool that can remind me to establish the concept of time for the upcoming OWLS exam." She said lightly.

Hermione also looked over, but her expression became a little weird after seeing the watch in Ziara's hand. Before Snape got angry, she asked in a low voice, "Is this Patek Philippe?"

Chiara blinked: "Really?"

When she bought it, she didn't pay much attention to the brand, and bought it because she thought it looked good--this watch is really good-looking, and she thought that when she died, maybe it could be passed on to Snape directly as an inheritance.

Snape didn't want her watch at all, he just wanted Ziara's attention back from these boring topics and back to his Potions class.

The Potions Professor's dark eyes swept across the classroom, and before the bell rang, he coldly interrupted the whispers of the students: "Quiet."

Ziara sat up quickly, but her amber eyes were no longer looking directly at Snape as they used to be, she was looking vaguely at one of the buttons on his chest, and she seemed to be really listening, but not at all. former focus.

It's over.Chiara thought, she was too careless in her confession that day, and she never thought about what to do when she saw Snape in class...

Whenever she saw Snape, she would think of Snape's expression when she said "The meaning of my life is you, I love you".

What would he think of himself?

What do you think of this shameless guy who still shows up in his class?

How dare she look into his eyes so brazenly?

Snape's eyes swept over the seemingly absent-minded Chiara, and his anger became more and more intense.

Was what she said three months ago just a lie?Is this her attitude towards the so-called "only meaning of life"?

--------------------

The author has something to say:

Draco & Harry & Hermione: The rich woman is by our side!

Regarding Xiao Qi’s choice, in her opinion, flattering Umbridge is the same as flattering a college counselor, and she has no psychological burden (in the fifth grade in the original book, Slytherin basically licked Umbridge , is this considered academic culture) and according to Xiao Qi's character, she will not give Umbridge any happy ending...

The only victim, Snape.He'd probably be angrier if he found Chiara turning her head to lick Umbridge

Xiao Qi: It's not for you!I love you for being a piece of wood!

Snape:?Talk like you're not wood!

BGM: It makes meill, is the song of Boss Jia's Super Boy
