[HP] So you are such Anita

The opening ceremony of the new school year seemed a little different to Draco, and this year's teaching team was full of magic.

In addition to Umbridge, whom Draco knew from the beginning, there was an unfamiliar face.

Dumbledore gave an enthusiastic speech to the students on the professor's seat. In addition to the old-fashioned talk that everyone could memorize, there was also an explanation about the changes in the teaching staff.

Under the floating candles, the students can't wait to know which subjects the new professors are in charge of, the new semester, the new professors, which is always the most interesting thing for the students.

"This year, there are three changes in our teaching staff. First, we will welcome two new professors, Professor Field and Professor Umbridge." Dumbledore looked at the two ladies on his left.

The two women in the professor's chair stood up and waved to the students. One woman smiled softly in a tan gown, while the other looked very good in a pink plush cardigan. Easy to get along with.

Dumbledore first introduced the lady in yellow, "Professor Field, a very good magical botanist who is also proficient in the subject of potions, she will be the professor of potions this semester. "

Potion?

In an instant, everyone's eyes turned to Professor Snape, and Professor Snape seemed to be in a very good mood, and a terrible thought arose in the students.

"At the same time, Professor Snape," Dumbledore raised his voice, "will be the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts!"

Sure enough, there was a wail from Gryffindor. Due to the rigorous training of Mrs. Asperger and Professor Tang Gu, many of them passed the OWLs of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class.

Now Professor Snape not only had to meet them often, but he could justifiably beat them up. Looking at the slightly meaningful smile on the corner of Professor Snape's mouth, they felt trembling all over.

Before the students got out of one bad news, another bad news came again.

"Because Professor Bubbaji has temporarily left Hogwarts for some personal reasons, Professor Umbridge will teach you about Muggles this semester. By the way, according to the new education order issued by the Ministry of Magic, Muggle Melon Studies will no longer be an elective course, it will be assessed independently of all existing curriculum systems, and sixth and seventh graders need to make up this course before graduation."

Now the students in the auditorium couldn't restrain their surprise, and there was an uproar. They had already taken the OWLs exam, didn't they? Why do they need to make up the exam?

And such a big change didn't even give them a buffer time. It wasn't even mentioned in the notice of the new school year, and almost everyone didn't know about it.

Yes, almost.

Draco knew about it, and he wasn't surprised by it.

Doris told him that the reform of the Muggle studies curriculum was promoted by Tom in the Ministry of Magic last year, but after Tom disappeared, the results seemed to be stolen by Fudge and the others. The curriculum reform is indeed in progress, but they have already changed the direction unconfirmed.

The new textbooks for the Muggle Studies course were compiled without their knowledge. Even though Hogwarts had already sent out the enrollment list, it is still mandatory to implement the new education order this year. For this reason, Fudge even said that the new textbooks It will be given free to all students.

In this case, Draco had no expectations for the new textbook, and he could even guess what Fudge was going to do with it.

Fudge was bound to defend the Act of Secrecy by emphasizing the untouchability of wizards and Muggles in his textbooks in order to survive his ministerial tenure.

If Fudge is strong enough, he may even pull the banner of the "Secrecy Act" and give Dumbledore a big hat of intending to overthrow the secrecy law and plunge the magical world into chaos. Chief Wizard of Gamore Court, that's quite enough for Dumbledore to drink a pot.

Looking around at the students who were whispering and unacceptable, Draco really wanted to tell them with a piercing look that this was just the beginning, and the future would be even worse.

But he couldn't, he still had to pretend to be happy about it, and try to find a way to clean up Umbridge on his way to death.

Dumbledore didn't seem to hear the uproar in the auditorium, and continued to announce nonchalantly: "The selection of the college Quidditch team will be—"

"Cough, cough," a high-pitched voice cut off Dumbledore's words, "Thank you, Headmaster, for your warm welcome."

Dumbledore had to stop talking. He only showed a surprised expression for a moment, and then sat down slowly, giving Umbridge the opportunity to speak. He even looked at Umbridge with a smile on his face, Seemed happy to have her give the speech.

"Well, I must say it's great to be back at Hogwarts, great to see these lovely little faces looking up at me," Umbridge said in a tone similar to that of a little girl With a naive tone, it is obvious that she wants to shorten the distance between herself and the students, but she does not know that everyone hates this kind of voice-holding style, "I am eager to get to know you all as soon as possible, I believe we Will be great friends!"

Professor McGonagall frowned, dissatisfied that Umbridge interrupted Dumbledore's speech like this, while Professor Snape remained expressionless, pretending not to hear anything.

The students below were very surprised that she could make such a statement, as if they were all five-year-old children. Didn't she know that the youngest student in Hogwarts was also 11 years old?

"The Ministry of Magic has always considered the education of young wizards to be a very sacred thing, and you possess invaluable talents which, if not exercised under careful and correct guidance, may prove fruitless. Ancient crafts unique to the wizarding world must be replaced. Passed on from generation to generation, or it will disappear, the treasure house of magical knowledge accumulated by our ancestors needs to be protected, supplemented and perfected by those engaged in noble educational professions."

Speaking of this, Umbridge bowed to the other professors, "The previous headmasters of Hogwarts will have innovations when taking charge of this historically famous school, which is entirely due. If there is no progress, it will stagnate, Without innovation, there will be decay. However, the practice of progress for the sake of progress should never be encouraged. Our traditions have been tempered and often do not need to be modified. We need to achieve a balance between the old and the new, Between permanence and change, between tradition and innovation..."

First affirming that he supports innovation, and then saying that wizarding traditions do not need bungling revisions, this is obviously criticizing Dumbledore for hiring magical creatures as professors last year.

Draco covered his mouth and listened carefully to Umbridge's speech. He felt that Umbridge might be able to do something big by himself without his help.

“…Because some changes achieve good results, and some changes are only found to be poor decisions in due time. Some old habits are retained and there is no reason for it, and some habits have become so old and outdated that they must be discarded, That is the case with the Muggle Studies curriculum. Let us move forward into a new era of enlightenment, efficiency and reason, insisting on keeping what should be kept, perfecting what needs to be perfected, and abolishing what should have been banned long ago."

When Umbridge finally delivered her speech, Dumbledore led the applause, and the other professors slowly followed suit.The students in the auditorium had long been drowsy from this long speech that lacked practical content. They clapped their hands together as if they had just woken up from a dream. Before they had time to pat themselves awake, Dumbledore stood up again. stand up.

"Thank you very much, Professor Umbridge, your speech was very enlightening," Dumbledore bowed slightly towards Umbridge, "Okay, as I said, the Quidditch selection will be... ..."

Students who understood what Umbridge was saying wouldn't care about Quidditch matches, but apparently not many did.

After Dumbledore mentioned Quidditch, the whole auditorium was buzzing excitedly about Quidditch selection, and Draco hadn't played Quidditch for a long time, although he played very well.

Brace pushed Draco's arm, and whispered next to him, "Has the Ministry of Magic finally started to worry about Dumbledore? After it's clear that the man has been eliminated? This is really a reality."

"Aren't we honored to be part of this fun event?" Draco and Blaise looked at each other and smiled knowingly.

There was a sound of clashing tables and chairs around, and Dumbledore had announced that the teachers and students of the school were dismissed, and everyone was going back to their lounges.

Draco has to continue to be the prefect this year. The post of prefect is usually selected from the fifth and sixth grades. If the fifth grade prefect is promoted to the sixth grade, and there are no more outstanding students in the new fifth grade , then the prefect will be re-elected successfully, and Draco passed twelve OWLs last semester.

A total of four passed twelve OWLs last semester, Anita and Draco from Slytherin, Hermione from Gryffindor, and Luna from Ravenclaw.

If Anita had been at Hogwarts this term, she would still have been a prefect, but she wasn't there.

Although the Field family announced that she was recovering at St. Mungo's Hospital, Draco knew that she was somewhere in the world and would return sooner or later, and he needed to deal with the troubles in Hogwarts before she came back. .

The post of female Slytherin prefect in the sixth year is temporarily held by Pansy Parkinson. Anita can be absent, but the female prefect of Slytherin cannot be absent.

Watching the back of Blaise and Millicent leaving the auditorium, Draco skillfully organized the new little wizards into a good team, and led them from the portrait to Slytherin's ring snake gate according to the tradition of Slytherin forward.

The only difference from previous years was that this time the male prefect led the team, while the female prefect silently followed behind at the end of the procession.
