My understanding is incredible, I built a floating city in Hogwarts

Shortly after the exciting match between Ravenclaw and Gryffindor, Umbridge finally ended her long stay in the infirmary and returned to class.

While in the hospital, Umbridge heard a rumor from Marietta that her bad luck was the result of a curse from the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.

In fact, this rumor has been circulating since the beginning of school, but it really became popular after Umbridge's continuous bad luck.

The same applies to Umbridge herself. At first, she dismissed the rumor, but as she encountered misfortune one after another, the rumor gradually fermented in her heart and became more real and terrifying.

Umbridge sat on the leather chair in her office, frowning.

She began to re-examine the position she had always desired - Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts.

She had forgotten how many times she had looked through the files of previous Defense Against the Dark Arts professors.

The files show that this position indeed seems to have been cast by a curse, and successive professors have not been spared.

To make matters worse, the curse is now at its most powerful.

According to records, before Harry Potter came to Hogwarts, although this position was frequently replaced, most professors had a decent ending.

Basically, they had to resign from their professorship within a year due to personal reasons or family reasons.

However, ever since the boy with the lightning scar on his forehead stepped into this school, the fate of the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor had really seemed to be cursed.

Harry Potter was in his first year, Professor Quirrell, died at 26.

When Harry Potter entered his second year, Professor Lockhart was exposed and his reputation was immediately ruined and he was sent to Azkaban.

When Harry Potter was in his third year, Professor Lupine had a happy ending for the time being, but within two years he was still stigmatized and almost sent to Azkaban for attacking a student.

When Harry Potter entered fourth grade, Moody, who was originally going to be a professor, was locked in a box from beginning to end for the entire school year.

The fate of Barty Crouch Jr., who replaced him, was even more unlucky. His soul was directly sucked away by the dementors, and he also died miserably.

And now, Harry Potter is in fifth grade...

Although Umbridge doesn't want to believe in the so-called curse, the facts before her make her unable to let go.

Is it really just a coincidence that in decades no Defense Against the Dark Arts professor has lasted more than a year?

Why Principal Dumbledore could never recruit a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor who was willing to serve for a long time, she now had the answer in her mind.

She couldn't help but smile bitterly, knowing that she had actually stepped into this cursed abyss. Whenever she thinks of this, her mood feels like it is shrouded in gloom and it is difficult to cheer up.

"Will I really encounter something unexpected before the end of this semester, as the old liar predicted?"

Umbridge murmured to herself, she could not accept such a fate.

So, a plan quietly took shape in her mind: to voluntarily resign from the position of Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts before the end of the semester to avoid the terrible curse.

This is the best solution she came up with after studying the files for so long.

In the files she looked through, those Defense Against the Dark Arts professors who resigned early were all spared and escaped unscathed.

Even after Harry enrolled, There is also an example of Lupin who started well and ended well.

If he hadn't forced himself to"live out the second life", he would not have ended up like this.

However, as a professor sent to Hogwarts by the Ministry of Magic, Umbridge could not do it at will. Giving up the position of Defense Against the Dark Arts professor will not easily give up her influence in Hogwarts.

Therefore, she needs to find a suitable alternative position, such as the principal of Hogwarts.

Replace Dumbledore as Hogwarts Umbridge's new principal is Umbridge's ultimate goal. In her view, as long as she can achieve this goal, all difficulties are not daunting.

However, reality poured cold water on her.

Here at Hogwarts For a period of time, not only did she fail to catch any of Dumbledore's tricks, but she was embarrassed by a series of pranks. What made her even more upset was that there was a prophecy circulating in the Ministry of Magic recently: Minister of Magic Fudge next year Someone will be kicked out in the summer.

Although Umbridge does not believe in prophecies, she knows the cruelty of political struggle.

She must prepare in advance to deal with possible changes.

When Umbridge steps into the Hall From the moment she entered Gwarts, she shouldered the heavy responsibility given by the Ministry of Magic - to win the rightful power for the Ministry of Magic in this historic magic school.

She knew that as long as she could complete this task beautifully, she would Her position in the Ministry of Magic will be more stable, and Minister Fudge will never give up a capable person like her with tough skills and outstanding execution ability easily.

Since it is impossible to directly replace Dumbledore, in order to achieve this goal, Umbridge She carefully planned another plan: to use the power of the senior investigator to install her trusted professors at Hogwarts.

In this way, she could gradually penetrate into every corner of the school and influence the decision-making of the entire Hogwarts. layer.

However, things did not develop as smoothly as she expected.

She tried to find fault with the professors before, but with basically no results.

The subsequent series of events made her lose her authority.

He tried to expose Levin's secret , sneaked into his secret base, but ended in failure. What made her even more annoyed was that she tried to retaliate against Zhang Qiu through corporal punishment, but failed. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

This A series of setbacks made Umbridge feel unprecedentedly frustrated and angry.

As she walked in the corridors of Hogwarts, she felt that every little wizard passing by was looking at her strangely, as if they were laughing at her incompetence.. This feeling made her mood even worse.

Although she was angry about the banning of Harry Potter, it was not enough.

Therefore, whether it was to advance the plan in order to be promoted in the future, or to regain her authority, She decided to expel a few people at Hogwarts anyway to regain her prestige.

On Umbridge's list, the names of three people were specially marked.

The first one is the half-giant Hagrid from the Care of Magical Creatures class.

According to information provided by Slytherin students, Hagrid's classes were terrible, especially the Blast-Ended Skrewt incident last semester which caused a lot of fuss.

Umbridge felt that this was a perfect opportunity. As long as Hagrid was fired, Dumbledore would be given a blow.

Unfortunately, Hagrid was not at school, which made Umbridge feel a little regretful.

But she did not give up her determination to fire Hagrid. She was thinking in her mind that when Hagrid came back, she would find an excuse to expel him from Hogwarts.

However, Umbridge also realized a problem. This position is not without a replacement: if Hagrid is fired, then the substitute teacher

Wilmina is likely to become a regular teacher, remove the title of substitute, and become Official professor.

And this professor is obviously more inclined to Dumbledore than the Ministry of Magic.

In other words, expelling Hagrid does not occupy a teaching position.

The second one is Sybill Trelawney from Divination class.

The divination professor who was nicknamed"the old liar" by the students has always been the target that Umbridge wanted to get rid of.[]

She heard that Trelawny's class was always full of all kinds of ridiculous prophecies and baseless speculations, which made Umbridge deeply doubtful of her teaching ability.

"If Trelawney is driven away, Dumbledore may have difficulty finding a suitable Divination professor to fill the vacancy in a short period of time."

Umbridge was thinking in her mind.

After all, the number of wizards who really know how to divination is too small, and Dumbledore has strict standards for the selection of professors.

As the rumor claimed:"Trelaw Professor Nee is Dumbledore's illegitimate daughter. Because of her, Dumbledore gave up on canceling the divination class."

The first half of this rumor may not be correct, but the second half is indeed true.

If he hadn't seen the prophecy about Voldemort from Trelawney, Dumbledore really wanted to cancel the divination class, which shows that this class has to find a professor Difficulty.

The last one is Professor Caredib Badge from the Muggle Studies class.

The problem with this professor is that her views are always incompatible with pure-blood wizards.

She once proposed some ideas that would make pure-blood wizards Deeply dissatisfied with the theory, such as"There is not much difference between Muggles and wizards".

Umbridge clearly remembers that once in the corridor, she heard several pure-blood students complaining Professor Bubbaji's course

"How could she say there was no difference between Muggles and wizards? This is simply an insult to us pure-bloods!"

These remarks made Umbridge see the opportunity to fire Professor Bubbaji.

She knew that if she could successfully fire Bubbaji and find a professor more popular with pure-bloods to take her place, then she would Being able to win the support of the pure-blood faction is undoubtedly a huge political capital for her.

Umbridge is very clear that both she and Minister Fudge need the support of the pure-blood faction to stabilize their position in the wizarding world...
