Harry Potter's Bastard

The Hogwarts Opening Dinner was always full of food, and in previous years the students had already stuffed their mouths full, but this year it was different, and the students had to empty some of their mouths to speak.

Hagrid was so large that anyone who wasn't blind could tell that the largest professor on the faculty wasn't there, and that Professor Grapeland was taking his place.

If the austere Professor Graplan wasn't conspicuous enough for some of the careless students to notice, Umbridge, the only one in the pink coat among all the professors in plain coats, stood out much more. Many of the students' parents worked in the Ministry of Magic, and Umbridge's reputation was so bad that the students had heard of some disgusting things the woman had done in the past, and even though they hadn't seen Umbridge in person, many of the students still recognized her from the pink cardigan.

"It looks disgusting. Sylna looked at Umbridge with a tired face, "How old is she......?

"My dear sister, we're eating, can you please stop talking about these disgusting things?" Solim drove half of the spider eggs on the communal plate to Sylna's plate, he knew his sister liked to eat this.

The spider egg is not really a spider egg, it has a quail egg underneath, cream in the middle, and chocolate on top, but it looks like a spider.

"Oh well, I was wrong. "Sylna dropped a spider egg with a fork.

"Karkaroff actually stayed. Draco looked at Snape in amazement, the style of painting here was a little different, and the gloomy atmosphere visible to the naked eye was out of place with the surroundings.

"Dumbledore said this last term...... Solim snatched a spider egg from his sister's plate and stuffed it into his mouth, putting it in his stomach before he said to Draco, "...... Said he would become a professor at Hogwarts. "

"But...... What can he teach us?" Draco still stared at Karkaroff in confusion, "Also, since the Board ...... You know what I mean, right?"

Nodding, Solim understood what Draco was trying to say, he wanted to say that a large part of the board of directors had something to do with the Death Eaters, how could they agree to Karkaroff being a professor at Hogwarts?

"I don't know. Shrugging, Solim said, "I'm not a prophet, so how can I know everything." But judging by the book list, Karkaroff didn't teach any of the main or electives — at least for the classes I attended. "

Silna on the side looked at her brother with disdain and said, "Are you embarrassed to say?

"Are you embarrassed to speak of me?" Solim glanced at his sister, "Didn't you just take two classes?"

"I learned that from you. Sylna retorted, "Besides, I have one more door than you." "

Instead of the Ancient Magic Crest, Sylna chose Muggle Studies and Magical Creatures, one for mixed credits and one for the oddities - Hagrid always got his hands on some weird things, and Sylna was particularly pleased with that, except for last semester's fried tail snails.

"There's no point in talking about this. Solim said to Draco, "Anyway, Dumbledore will announce this year's professorship in a moment." "

When the voices in the auditorium get louder and louder, it often means that the students have eaten and drunk enough to start chatting, and that's when Dumbledore will step up and start his speech—a lesson that has worked in previous years, but not this year.

From the beginning of this year's opening dinner to the present, the students' mouths have not stopped - they have been talking non-stop, and they can't tell whether they are talking between eating or eating between words. In short, the auditorium has been in turmoil since the official start of the dinner.

However, when Dumbledore stood up, the students immediately fell silent, and everyone turned their faces to the headmaster.

"Well, now that we are digesting yet another sumptuous meal, I ask you to be quiet for a moment and listen as I speak as usual about the do's and don'ts of the new semester. "

Dumbledore said, "First-year students should know that the Forbidden Forest in the hunting grounds is not accessible to students - a few of our seniors should know by now, too." "

Many Gryffindor students covered their mouths and laughed secretly, especially the Weasley twins.

"Our administrator, Mr. Filch, begged me, and he told me it was the forty-twenty-sixth time, and begged me to remind you all that no magic was allowed in the hallway between classes, and many other rules, were laid out on that long list and affixed to the door of Mr. Filch's office. "

Speaking of Filch, Dumbledore glanced at the Slytherin table.

"This year, we have made three changes to our faculty workforce. We are delighted that she welcomes back Professor Graplan, who will teach you a lesson on the protection of magical creatures. Professor Karkaroff will hold a separate class, and the details will be posted so that students can find out for themselves when the time comes. We are equally pleased to introduce Professor Umbridge, our new teacher in Defence Against the Dark Arts class. "

There was a polite, but not very enthusiastic, applause in the Great Hall, and Dumbledore continued, "Since the Triwizard Tournament has passed, the selection for the House Quidditch team will be—"

He paused abruptly and looked inquiringly at Professor Umbridge. Since she was not much taller than when she was sitting, no one understood why Dumbledore had suddenly stopped talking, and Professor Umbridge cleared his throat:

"Ahem, ahem. Then everyone realized that she had stood up and was about to speak.

The professors and students all looked at Umbridge with a smirk on his face in disbelief, interrupting Dumbledore's opening speech at the opening dinner, this was the first time,

Dumbledore only looked surprised for a moment, and then he shrewdly stepped out of the way and looked intently at Professor Umbridge, as if he couldn't wait to hear her. The other teachers didn't hide their surprise so skillfully, especially Professor McGonagall, whose eyebrows were almost raised. Luckily Hagrid wasn't here, or he would have thrown Umbridge out of the gate.

Umbridge's behavior was extremely impolite, one could even say that it was unsightly, and it smacked of provocation. Dumbledore, as the headmaster of Hogwarts, did this before his speech was finished, and there was no doubt that he did not take the old man with a white beard seriously.

Many students in the audience showed sarcastic expressions. In their eyes, Umbridge was simply making herself uncomfortable.
