The atmosphere in the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom was tense and heavy. Harry, Ron and D.A.The other members were sitting in their respective seats, each holding a slender black quill with a sharp tip in their hands.

Umbridge was sitting in a gorgeous chair on the podium, holding a delicate pink tea cup in her hand, sipping black tea elegantly, her eyes sweeping over the faces of the students who were suppressing pain and angry but did not dare to speak. There was a joy in her heart, which made her temporarily forget the fear that Dumbledore brought to her when he was angry.

Of course, Dumbledore's threat still made her wary, and she didn't dare to go too far.

Therefore, she could only torture these students in this way, letting them feel the pain as the skin on their hands opened and healed again and again.

Harry's hands were bruised and bruised again and again, but they healed again and again.

His hands had become numb, and he was writing mechanically on the paper. The pain in his heart far exceeded the scars on his hands.

He regretted why he named the training class"Dumbledore's Army" in the first place, and even more regretted that it had caused so much trouble. Dumbledore's departure made him feel extremely guilty and uncomfortable. He would rather bear all the punishment himself than let the principal take the blame for them. 08

Ron sat next to Harry, with a dazed expression on his face, as if the effect of the Veritaserum had not completely worn off. He swore silently in his mind that no matter what Umbridge gave him, he would never touch it again. He firmly believed that when he was sane, no temptation could make him betray his friends - only by thinking this way could he suppress the guilt in his heart.

He clearly remembered that he, Colin and Euan leaked the secret together. Although Dumbledore later personally explained to him that everything was a helpless act under the influence of Veritaserum, Ron still couldn't get rid of the shadow of self-blame and guilt.

Behind him, the Weasley twins, George and Fred, looked up at Umbridge on the podium at the same time. Their eyes exchanged rapidly between each other, conveying their disgust for the new principal. In all their years at Hogwarts, they had never hated someone so much. Even Filch, whom they hate the most, looks particularly cute compared to Umbridge.

After the Defense Against the Dark Arts class ended, they walked out of the classroom and stopped in unison when passing by the school's bulletin board. A new notice has been posted on the notice board announcing the change of headmaster and the establishment of the new subject:

Ministry of Magic

Rintz appoints Dolores Jane Umbridge (High Inquisitor) to succeed Albus Percival Wool Frick, Brian Dumbledore, becomes the new Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

At the same time, Hogwarts will set up a new elective subject - arcane magic class. The first professor was the talented Mr. Levin Green.

The above regulations are in compliance with the"Education Order No. 28".

Signed: Cornelius Oswald Fudge

, Minister for Magic They stood in front of the notice board, and the notice in front of them seemed like a heavy stone weighing on their hearts. Recalling the news I saw on TV a few days ago, everything the host said was confirmed by this notice. Thinking of this, a burst of complex emotions surged in their hearts.

"Those TV station edits are so malicious," Harry said angrily to Ron,"They actually deleted Professor Dumbledore's friendly words and demeanor, leaving only those misleading clips. The Daily Prophet is even more abominable, describing Professor Dumbledore as a dangerous dark wizard! This is simply an insult to him!"

Ron also nodded with deep sympathy. Out of respect for Professor Dumbledore, they were all very dissatisfied with the media.

He recalled the scene after drinking the Veritaserum given by Umbridge that day, and it still remains to this day. vividly in mind

"Although I was in a daze that day, I did hear a man talking to Umbridge. I could have sworn on Merlin's fattest pants that I saw the light of two uses of space spells."Ron stared at Levin's name on the notice and said firmly.

Harry frowned slightly after listening to Ron's words.

He has always been dissatisfied with Levin's attitude towards the Order of the Phoenix and Dumbledore this year, but Hearing Ron's hint at this time, he couldn't help but excuse Levin

"That doesn't mean it was Levin who did it," Harry retorted."After all, floo powder can also allow people to come in and out of the fireplace. We cannot jump to conclusions just because we see some signs."

"Harry, wake up! Ron's voice was a bit sharp, and his finger almost poked Harry's nose,"That's the light of space spells!" Just like when Dumbledore used Fawkes to leave. God knows how he invented such magic - it may not be impossible with his ability! But now, as soon as Dumbledore was driven away, Levin came back and took his men who had learned Animagus to register with the Ministry of Magic. Eventually, he even became a professor of arcane magic! If there is no connection between this, I will sleep with the Acromantula in my arms!"

For the first time, Harry discovered that Ron could actually make such a well-founded analysis. He was a little speechless when he argued, but he still insisted on his point of view:"However, we can't be sure that Ron is just based on these. There is something wrong with the text"

"Harry, think about it," Ron continued, his voice full of anxiety and anger,"We set up D.A.What is the original intention? Isn't it because Umbridge just follows the instructions in class, doesn't let us learn practical magic, and doesn't allow us to set up an organization like the Erudite Society?! All this proves that the Ministry of Magic does not want us to improve our capabilities."

Having said this, he spat at Umbridge again to show his disgust - after being forced to drink Veritaserum, this became Ron's habit - and then continued:

"But what about now? As soon as Dumbledore left, they immediately changed their attitude, and it was widely announced on television that Levine's elective course would teach spells of arcane magic and powerful magic, and even some dangerous magic! They were talking about fighting, not dueling! Why don't you understand? They had long been sure that Voldemort was back! But they still choose to fight for power first! These damn bureaucrats, these damn pureblood families!"

Ron may seem a little dull in his studies, but he showed surprisingly sharpness when he speculated on Levin's threat theory. His remarks were almost misshapen and touched on the truth hidden behind. Hearing this, Harry couldn't bear to He couldn't help but nod in agreement. He couldn't deny that Ron's point of view was indeed reasonable.

Thinking of Levin's kindness and selfless help to him, Harry felt a surge of mixed emotions in his heart.

However, if he contacted Ron, He thought again of Levin's ambiguous attitude towards the return of the mysterious man, which made him feel betrayed. This feeling made him feel heavy, as if he had lost something precious. Not only

Harry and Ron had this idea. Even Professor McGonagall, a faculty member who strongly supported Dumbledore, had doubts about this 347 notice.

Especially Professor McGonagall, she also thought about Levin Green's role in this crisis. The benefits obtained were second only to Fudge. She couldn't help but wonder that although Levin had been colluding with Jaina and Katrana of the Ministry of Magic for a long time, when did Katrana Prestor, who originally only held a small share of the shares, make a move on Hogwart? Now the school directors have such a big say?

Moreover, Umbridge, who has always been arrogant, has so easily agreed to a student's unreasonable request to become a professor. There must be some unknown reason behind this abnormal thing. The agreement and Dumbledore's departure were probably the result of their joint planning.

However, what confused Professor McGonagall was why Dumbledore sent a message telling her not to try to stop this? After all, this was It's a big deal to teach students dangerous magic.

In addition to Harry and Ron, there are many students in the school who also have doubts about the upcoming arcane magic class.

Many of them are born in mixed-race families or Muggle families. Young wizards, especially the students of Hufflepuff House. Ever since they stepped into the door of Hogwarts, they have heard countless horror stories about dark wizards and the dangers of dark magic. These experiences have made them become more sophisticated in this regard. Extremely sensitive.

This time, they were even more influenced by Dumbledore's supporters. After hearing that the arcane magic class would involve powerful and dangerous magic, they naturally connected it with the dark magic class. This Let them feel scared and worried about the upcoming introduction of such courses in schools, for fear that they will inadvertently step into the abyss of darkness. It is the

New Year and I am a little busy, so try to keep updated.
