Chapter 229: Duties of Senior Procurators (Second Update)
The next day, Monday morning.
Jon had expected to wait until the second class on protecting magical beasts to see their new senior prosecutor.
I didn't expect to be halfway through the class in herbal medicine-
They were using dragon manure to fertilize the soil in the greenhouse under the leadership of Professor Sprout, when the pink toad suddenly broke into the greenhouse.
"Professor, I just want to know if you have received my note informing you of the date and time to investigate your class!" Umbridge said in that girlish voice, walking directly over to Professor Sprout.
At the same time, she glanced with some disgust at Professor Sprout's thick patched hat and covered in dirt.
"Of course. Professor Pomona-Sprout replied in a calm and concise tone.
Umbridge nodded and motioned for her to continue with the lesson.
Professor Sprout ignored her, watching the students fertilize with dragon manure and telling them several tips for pollination.
Out of the corner of Jon's eye, he kept an eye on Umbridge...... She had been looking around, listening to Professor Sprout's lecture, and her eyes seemed to be a little confused, and it seemed that the content of Sprout's lecture was a bit out of the classroom for her.
Umbridge wisely did not interrupt Professor Sprout's lecture.
It wasn't until she finished her lecture and the students began collecting pollen in sealed paper bags that Umbridge approached Professor Sprout.
"How long have you been teaching at Hogwarts," Professor Umbridge asked.
"We turned 36 years old in September this year. Professor Sprout smiled politely at her.
Professor Umbridge jotted down a few notes in her notebook.
"Did Dumbledore hire you?" Umbridge asked, curious.
"Yes!" Professor Sprout nodded, "I had just graduated from Hogwarts a few days ago...... He wrote to tell me that Professor Brewster was retiring, asked me if I would like to take her place, and then I would come to Hogwarts......"
"You're an honorary member of the International Herbal Medicine Association, and you've published seven articles in The Witcher and the Grass, right?" Umbridge continued.
"Yes......" Professor Sprout nodded, "That's all my research over the years!"
"You will receive the results of your investigation within ten days...... Umbridge said, finally putting down his quill and notebook.
"Okay, thank you!"
......
After the herb class, it's time to protect magical beasts.
They were no longer attending the class next to Hagrid's cabin, and Umbridge took them to a spare classroom on the third floor of the castle.
There is still a small amount of dust on the desks and chairs in the classroom.
"Good morning, students?"
"Good morning, Professor Umbridge!" shouted all the students with almost all their might.
Umbridge nodded with some satisfaction: "Very good!"
"We're going to talk about centaurs in this lesson...... Please turn your Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them book to page 126!"
"This monster is a human from the waist up, usually with red hair and a beard, but below the waist is a shiny brownish-red horse with a long red tail dragging behind it.
The Ministry of Magic, however, still considers centaurs to be magical creatures with "close human intelligence" under Article 15, Paragraph 2 of the Department of Magical Beasts Control and Control. However, to the centaurs, they are surprising to think that the Ministry of Magic's bounty is a disgrace!"
"The Department of Magical Beasts Management and Control has had a Centaur Liaison Office since 1947, but almost no Centaurs actually use it. Umbridge paused, and continued, "In fact, 'being sent to the Centaur Liaison Office' has become an inside joke in the Department of Magical Beasts Management and Control, meaning that the person mentioned is about to be fired. ”
Umbridge mentions the centaurs with a condescending tone at all times.
"There is no doubt that, in my personal opinion, the centaurs should be more tightly controlled...... They should be kept in small spaces with signs to make sure they don't injure others......"
......
It's another lesson in protecting magical beasts that makes it boring.
In the past, Professor Hagrid, Professor Graplan, and even Professor Kettleburn would bring some very interesting magical animals over and let them come into contact with them.
And here in Umbridge, it will only be boring and boring to repeat those few sentences-
What werewolves are vicious, centaurs are evil, and giants are stupid...... It feels like a child shouting slogans, extremely boring.
Jon wasn't alone, many Slytherin students felt the same way.
Astoria, in particular, wore a straight face from start to finish in Umbridge's class.
Seeing her expression, Jon couldn't help but worry a little about her......
It's a pity that it's not good to go forward and remind her.
......
After lunch, they went to the Charms classroom on the fourth floor.
In addition to Flitwick, Umbridge was also waiting here early.
She stooped down to look at Flitwick standing on a stack of thick books, and then took out her wand to conjure up a set of tape measures and measure Flitwick's height.
"Three and a half feet tall!" Umbridge said with a look of disdain as he began to jot down something in his notebook.
However, Flitwick continued to teach Ravenclaw and Slytherin students the "Flying Charm" as if he hadn't seen Umbridge at all, and the "Expulsion Charm", the opposite of the "Flying Charm".
When I saw Flitwick precisely control a suit of armor, flying around the classroom and even dancing...... The look on Umbridge's face couldn't have been more exciting.
She stopped Melinda Bobbin from Ravenclaw and asked what classes were like.
Miss Bobin, of course, did not speak ill of their dean, but replied that the class was very good.
Although Umbridge's face was very ugly, he seemed to have finally resigned himself to his fate......
After jotting down a few notes in her notebook, she ran to the podium when the bell rang.
"How long have you been teaching at Hogwarts," Umbridge asked.
"Forty-four years. Flitwick said blandly.
"That means you weren't hired by Dumbledore?" Umbridge continued.
"Yes...... When I first came to school, Albus was a Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher, and we were colleagues. ”
"You will receive the results of your investigation in ten days......" Umbridge wrote it all down in his notebook, and finally put down the quill and notebook in his hand with some reluctance.
"Okay, I know!" Flitwick nodded.
