Harry Potter: Miss Malfoy

Chapter 231 The Old Witch's First Lesson

Preface: It’s fine if the May Day data doesn’t increase, but what does it mean that the Rotten Tomatoes rating drops? The gift has dropped slightly, and I hope to continue to work hard, but I’ll still add another chapter! It’s been three months, and it’s also over 500,000 words!

After forcing the students to greet him, Umbridge asked everyone to put away their wands, and then tapped the blackboard with her wand, and a few lines of words appeared:

Defense Against the Dark Arts: Back to Basics

I Understand the principles of basic defensive magic

II Learn to judge when it is legal to use magic

III Field Practice Using Defensive Magic

"For the next year, you will enjoy a carefully planned, theory-focused, and Ministry-approved Defense course."

Her artificially sweet voice rose an octave as she spoke dramatically, but it did not achieve the desired effect.

“Uh-huh, I think I need to remind everyone again.

When I have come to the end of my speech, I hope you will respond with vigor.

When I ask you questions, I hope you can answer them.

'Yes, Professor Umbridge' or 'No, Professor Umbridge'

Come, let's practice it together."

She raised her wand again and waved her right hand like Professor Flitwick directing the school choir, asking the students to practice their responses over and over like toddlers.

"Yes (no), Professor Umbridge" the voice repeated in the classroom.

Draco, Pansy and Daphne could only cooperate helplessly, but no one spoke out loud.

Looking at Harry, Ron and Hermione, it was clear that they had the same reaction.

For the rest of the class, Umbridge simply read from the textbook word for word.

It was not until Hermione raised her hands that the students from the two colleges were saved from hell.

Especially Slytherin.

The Slytherin students, who had just gone through the torment of History of Magic, almost withered and turned into ghosts during Umbridge's recitation.

"Do you have any questions, dear?" Umbridge asked with a wry smile.

Hermione responded decisively and bluntly.

"Yes, Professor Umbridge. I have a question about the course objectives.

It says nothing about actually using spells to defend yourself."

Having said this, the attention of many students in the class was quickly drawn back.

Draco just frowned and observed Harry. He had been flipping through his textbooks out of boredom, but now he looked like he was ready to join in the argument with Umbridge at any time.

Especially when Umbridge asked sarcastically whether he wanted to use magic so much because he was worried about being attacked in class.

This excited Ron and he also changed the subject.

"We don't have to use magic?" Ron said gruffly.

Draco rolled his eyes and frowned at Harry's clenched fists.

"In my class, students who want to speak must raise their hands first. May I ask who you are—?"

"Weasley."

Umbridge sneered noticeably and explained slowly.

He looked at Ron with some contempt as he spoke: "Let me reiterate, and I must admit to you that although the quality of the Ministry's employees has been somewhat unstable recently—"

Umbridge paused deliberately.

And Draco could see that Harry's breathing was hitching as Umbridge was suggestively humiliating Mr. Weasley.

Her expression remained calm, but her heart was filled with anxiety.

Fortunately, Pansy and Daphne naturally noticed his emotions and quietly held Draco's hands under the table to share his attention.

"But under the arrangement of a few trusted experts in the Ministry of Magic, we have tailored a theory-based course for you to learn defensive spells in an absolutely safe and risk-free environment—"

Umbridge repeated, her eyes occasionally flicking towards Harry provocatively.

Sure enough, after several looks and provocative words, Harry loudly asked: "What's the point of this? If we are attacked-"

"Hands, Mr. Potter."

As far as I can remember, this was the first time Umbridge had ever smiled sincerely.

It was as if successfully inducing Harry to challenge her was a real pleasure.

"Now that you've mentioned it, let me ask you something. I believe that many students are like me. After carefully reading the follow-up report in the Daily Prophet, they all feel uneasy and afraid about attending this class.

From the questions you ask, Mr. Potter, it seems that you have begun to have hallucinations that you may be attacked by evil at any time and fall into fatal danger? "

Umbridge pursed her throat, looking nervous with what seemed like unusual concern.

"If that's the case, I think there would be danger in the classroom. After all, you are in an emotionally unstable state.

But even so, we don't need defensive spells.

We just need to inform Madam Pomfrey.

Or, if you really need it, you can contact St. Mungo's Hospital."

She paused dramatically again and looked around the classroom with wide eyes, as if she had just told a joke and was waiting for laughter.

But apart from a few sneers in the classroom (Crabbe laughed especially happily), most of the people were talking about it.

"Will there be no chance to practice spells before the elementary witch test?"

"This is a bit too much..."

"Did she say that Potter is mentally unstable? Why on earth hasn't he been expelled from school yet?"

"Because Dumbledore himself is not in good mental condition. Do you remember what the report said?"

Then Dumbledore himself should step down, and I must ask my parents to write a letter—"

"Hmmmm."

Watching the classroom full of whispers, Umbridge coughed once more, her expression seeming somewhat satisfied:

"You see, Mr. Potter, you've distracted everyone from class.

This is a very difficult challenge for a new teacher. "

As she spoke, she rubbed her temples with her fat, short fingers, looking a little distressed.

But a moment later, he stood on tiptoe, patted his chest with great vigor, and announced to the class: "But please rest assured, the future of the magic world!

As a representative of the Ministry of Magic, I can assure you that this is a school.

Everyone will be absolutely safe and there will be no danger.”
