On Tuesday afternoon, the fourth-year wizards and wizards of Hogwarts entered the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom. Today will be their first Defense Against the Dark Arts lesson taught by Professor Umbridge.
As early as Saturday night, the new professor's reputation had already spread among the students, but they knew nothing about her.
The whole class was silent as they walked into the classroom, and there was an indescribable tension in the air. They didn't know how strict Professor Umbridge was about classroom discipline, and they didn't know what the new professor's teaching style would be like.
"Good afternoon, classmates!"After the whole class sat down, Professor Umbridge said in her high-pitched and artificial voice.
Several students muttered"Good afternoon" in reply, and their voices seemed a little listless.
""Tsk, tsk," Professor Umbridge shook her head dissatisfied,"That's not okay, is it?" I wish you could be more polite. When I say classmates, good afternoon!
, you should reply like this: Good afternoon, Professor Umbridge. Good afternoon, classmates! …Let’s do it again!"
This way of speaking is like educating kindergarten children.
This time, the whole class obediently answered according to Professor Umbridge's request:"Good afternoon, Professor Umbridge."
"That's right," Professor Umbridge nodded with satisfaction,"It's not too difficult, is it? Now, please put away your wands and get out your quills and parchment."
Many students exchanged depressed looks.
After four years of classes, they had already figured out the rules. What followed the command"put away the wand" was never a class they found interesting, but they could only obey. She stuffed her wand into her bag and took out a quill, ink and parchment.
Professor Umbridge opened her handbag and pulled out a surprisingly short wand. She walked to the blackboard and flicked the wand hard. Knock, two lines of big words immediately appeared on the blackboard:
Defense Against the Dark Arts
Back to Basics
"Dear students, your teaching of this course has always been intermittent and unsystematic, right?"
Professor Umbridge crossed her fingers and placed them squarely on her chest, and continued:"Teachers are constantly changing, and many of them do not seem to be teaching in accordance with the curriculum standards approved by the Ministry of Magic. Not only that, but the quality of some professors is also questionable."
She paused, seeming to be looking for the right words.
"Look at what bad teachers you have experienced over the years - Death Eaters, dark wizards, liars, werewolves... This unfortunately means that you are far from reaching O.W.The level that Ls grade should reach."
Her words were like a sharp knife piercing into the hearts of the students. Everyone lowered their heads silently, unable to refute.
Because Professor Umbridge was right, they had indeed experienced some bad teachers, which led to their dark side. The content of the Magical Defense class is always confusing.
Professor Quirrell and the others have never experienced it, and I heard that he stutters.
The first-year Lockhart is a liar who just wants to sell books.
The second-year Lupine is serious. They taught some things, but they turned out to be werewolves.
The third-year Moody simply regarded them as trainee Aurors, and the things he taught were all about the Unforgivable Curse, O.W.Ls didn't take the exam at all, and what's worse is that he himself is a fake Death Eater.
Maybe, this pink toad in front of them will give them a surprise?
Professor Umbridge looked at the reactions of her classmates and seemed very satisfied that her words had an effect.
"However, you will be glad that these problems are about to be corrected."
Umbridge said in a sweet voice.
"This year we will be studying a carefully planned, theory-focused Defense Against Magic course approved by the Ministry of Magic. This course will allow you to truly master the essence of Defense Against the Dark Arts. Please copy these words."
She said, tapping the blackboard lightly, and the clear sound echoed in the quiet classroom.
The two lines of words just disappeared, replaced by the course objectives.
The course objectives were clearly listed on the blackboard:
1. In-depth understanding The cornerstone and core of Magical Defense.
2. Accurately identify the situations and conditions for the legal use of Magical Defense.
3. Evaluate and improve the application ability of Magical Defense in a practical environment.
Following Professor Umbridge’s instructions, the classroom There was the rustle of a quill sliding on the parchment. The students were immersed in copying.
Two or three minutes later, when every student had copied down Professor Umbridge's three course objectives, Professor Umbridge whispered Asked:"Does every student already have Wilbert Slinka's"Theory of Magical Defense"?》?"
There was a low voice of affirmation in the class.
However, this does not seem to satisfy Professor Umbridge
"I wish our communication could be more clear," she said with a smile, but there was a hint of no doubt in her voice,"When I ask a question, the answer I expect is yes, Professor Umbridge. Or not, Professor Umbridge. So, let's do it again: Does every student already have Wilbert Slinka's"Theory of Magical Defense"?》?"
"Yes, Professor Umbridge."The whole class answered in unison. This echo was much louder and more orderly.
"Very good," Professor Umbridge nodded with satisfaction,"Now, please turn your book to page five and read Chapter One, Basic Principles of Introduction. While reading, please remain quiet and do not talk."
Everyone looked at Professor Umbridge with their mouths open, and there was an indescribable disappointment in their hearts. They originally thought that the Defense Against the Dark Arts class would be a class full of excitement and practical combat, but they did not expect that it would turn into a boring reading class..
This has disappointed many young wizards, and they should not have had expectations for her. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
"This...is this Defense Against the Dark Arts class?"A little wizard couldn't help but muttered, with deep dissatisfaction in his voice.
"I thought (bjed) would learn some powerful magic, but this is what happened?"Another young wizard also echoed, his tone full of disappointment.
Many young wizards began to whisper and discuss.
They should not have expectations for Professor Umbridge.
"This way of teaching is really worse than Lockhart."A young wizard complained,"Although Lockhart is a bit exaggerated, at least he has interesting performances to watch in his class."
"Yeah yeah."The other little wizards nodded in agreement,"This is not a Defense Against the Dark Arts class, it's just like"Days at Hogwarts".》"
However, at this moment, Professor Umbridge began to glance at the students. Her eyes were like two sharp knives, making people afraid to look at her.
The sound of reading suddenly sounded in the room, and the little wizards lowered their heads and focused on the books in their hands.
Professor Umbridge nodded with satisfaction and sat down in the chair behind the podium.
Her eyelids were droopy, like two toads, and she kept staring at the students.
The content of the book is very boring, almost as boring as listening to Professor Binns' history class. The little wizards were reading the words in the book listlessly, but their hearts were already far away.
But there are exceptions. Luna Lovegood turned her copy of"Magical Defense Theory" to the fifth page, but she was not reading at all. She was just turning the quill on her finger absentmindedly, with a hint of dissatisfaction in her eyes.
From the moment Umbridge captured Professor Lupin, she had been filled with disgust for this woman.
Her good friend, Ginny, was even more exaggerated. She didn't even open her copy of"Magical Defense Theory" and stared at Professor Umbridge without blinking, with one hand raised high.
However, Professor Umbridge was looking equally firmly in the completely opposite direction, seemingly not noticing Ginny's actions at all.
The little wizards began to notice this"other" among them.
Their eyes flickered back and forth between Ginny and Umbridge, observing the silent contest with curiosity.
As time passed by, the boring chapter seemed to become longer and longer.
More and more students gave up reading and looked at Ginny instead. They looked at her firm eyes and raised hands, as if she was silently fighting for them.
Gradually, more than half of the class joined in watching Ginny. They were no longer paying attention to the boring book, but were concentrating on Ginny, watching how she caught Professor Umbridge's eye in her own way.
Finally, Professor Umbridge realized she could no longer turn a blind eye to the situation.
She slowly turned her head, her droopy eyes falling on Ginny
"Dear, do you have any questions about the content of this chapter? she asked Ginny, as if she had just discovered her.
Ginny was stunned for a moment, then shook her head,"No, it's not about this chapter.""
She said, frowning slightly,"It's about this book.
Professor Umbridge's eyes immediately became sharp,"Huh?" This is a textbook approved by the Ministry of Magic. Do you have any doubts about the Ministry of Magic?"
Umbridge started to criticize, which is the specialty of Ministry of Magic bureaucrats.
She seemed to have been prepared to deal with similar questions for a long time, and she said like a barrage of firecrackers:
"If you have doubts about the overall purpose of this course, then I can only tell you: you are not an education expert specially trained by the Ministry of Magic. Our latest learning program was designed by wizards who are much older and wiser than you. You'll learn defensive spells in a safe, risk-free way……"
Good fellow, Ginny called him good fellow.[]
She hasn't spoken yet, but the professor has really set a target on his own, attacking all the doubts he may face.Blocked back in advance.
This watertight method is worthy of an old politician from the Ministry of Magic.
The picture shows Ginny.
