Chapter 336, Powder Hippo's Defense Against the Dark Arts lesson
Noticing his girlfriend's expression, Bruce asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Hermione said suspiciously, "There's a problem." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
After saying that, she raised her hand, and Umbridge smiled, "What doubts?" Miss Granger. ”
Hermione said, "Professor, I would like to ask if there are two textbooks in this set?" ”
"No, dear. There is only this one. Umbridge laughed.
Hermione asked, puzzled, "Then why isn't there anything about using the defense charm?" ”
"Huh?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned, and then opened the table of contents to find that this book was full of theoretical knowledge, and there were no spells and magic at all.
It was incomprehensible that there were no spells in Defense Against the Dark Arts class, and the students began to discuss it in whispers.
A hint of coldness flashed in Umbridge's eyes, and he coughed lightly and said, "Ahem! Be quiet. Hehe, Miss Granger, using a spell? Haha"
Umbridge's laughter was harsh, as if a ridiculous joke had been heard. Hermione suppressed the dissatisfaction in her heart and asked, "Yes." Is there a problem? ”
Umbridge said, "Do I need to use spells in my classroom?" ”
Hermione was angry, but Bruce pulled her along, and Hermione ignored Umbridge. But Ron didn't get a hint from Bruce, and immediately asked, "Can't you even use magic?" ”
Umbridge said, "You'll learn defensive charms in a safe, risk-free situation. ”
Harry immediately said, "If we can call it zero risk if we are attacked, then what good is this?" ”
Umbridge laughed, "Hehe, the Ministry of Magic thinks that mastery of theory is enough to allow you to pass the exam, and that's what school is all about. ”
"Cut!" Bruce sneered and said, "Yes! In the future, we won't even need to use magic, and we will do everything ourselves, which is really exciting! ”
"I should raise my hand before speaking in class!" Umbridge said with a blank face.
Malfoy immediately laughed, a look of watching the play. The Gryffindors, on the other hand, looked at Bruce worriedly.
Bruce spread his hands and said with an indifferent expression, "I didn't sleep well yesterday, and I was talking in a dream." ”
"Huh!"
This sentence filled the classroom with snickering, and Umbridge's tone changed, and she said coldly: "Does Mr. Stirling have an opinion about the Ministry of Magic?" ”
At this time, Harry suddenly raised his hand and said, "Professor, I think Bruce is right, we can't arm ourselves with 'theoretical knowledge' to face danger. ”
Harry's tone was agitated, and Umbridge immediately returned, "There is no danger at all, who do you think will attack a child like you?" ”
Harry was already angry in his heart, and he couldn't care about anything anymore and said, "Really? I don't know, maybe Voldemort? ”
……
Quiet!
Everyone froze, and Umbridge's smile vanished, and she stood there as if she was stunned. Bruce shook his head helplessly and said, "Damn, this fool! ”
After a while, Umbridge came back to her senses, her throat moved involuntarily, as if frightened, her tone was full of trembling, and her voice was full of anger, and she slowly walked up to Harry.
"Let me get this straight, if anyone ......"
"Mrs. Umbridge!" Bruce interrupted her by standing up suddenly, and for a moment everyone looked at him.
After a pause, Bruce continued, "Professor, this is class. Like you said, we want to learn in a risk-free environment. In that case, why not attend classes? You know, politics can be dangerous for students. ”
Umbridge was stunned, but then became "kind" again and said, "That's right, class." Mr. Potter......"
She looked at Harry and smiled, "Please stay after class." ”
After saying that, he turned and walked to the podium, and Bruce sat down, and Harry smiled wryly as he looked at Bruce, who shook at him and meant to stop being impulsive. Seriously, Bruce is really a little scared of Umbridge, the old monster who pretends to be tender. If she used her position as a professor to force everyone to believe that Voldemort didn't make a comeback, then they could really consider dropping out.
So Gryffindor Slytherin took one of the most "chic" Defence Against the Dark Arts lessons ever, and the whole class was just copying the contents of the book. At the end of the lesson, everyone copied their hair, and of course there were exceptions, and Malfoy seemed very energetic, singing a little song and walking in front of them.
Harry angrily looked at Malfoy as he left, and Bruce advised, "Okay, you're really brave today." ”
Harry smiled wryly, "Really? Why weren't you left behind. ”
Hermione said helplessly, "Because Bruce has more brains than you, Harry should use his brain to think before he speaks next time." Really. ”
Although he was sarcastically mocked by Hermione, Harry was not angry, he knew that Hermione was telling the truth. Ron patted Harry on the shoulder and advised, "It's okay, just pay attention next time." We will bring you lunch and wait for you in the lounge. ”
Harry nodded and lamented, "Even if you eat, you probably won't be able to eat it when you go back." Alright, I'll go over and suffer first. ”
Harry laughed at himself for suffering, but he forgot that he was a "crow god".
Since there were no classes in the afternoon, and the Defense Against the Dark Arts class in the morning took too much energy, after lunch, several people returned to the lounge with food. Although the people at Hogwarts still don't believe in Bruce Harry's "Voldemort Return Theory", Simon Dean's friends no longer reject them, especially since Simon doesn't talk about it at all now because of his guilt for Harry.
In the afternoon, inside the Gryffindor common room.
"What's the situation? Did Harry live there? Ron said, lying on Lavender's lap.
Normally the class was over at this time, and everyone was out to play, but Harry still hadn't returned.
Bruce put down the book in his hand and quipped, "I wouldn't have brought him food if I had known, he would have just been in time for dinner." ”
Ron sat up and said, "Did you think it would be the old woman who embarrassed Harry?" ”
Hermione said, "How is that possible? Even Snape did not dare to physically punish students. ”
"It's not corporal punishment, it's embarrassment." Ron said.
Just then, there was a sound of the door opening, followed by the laughter of two "ghosts crying wolf", and George and Weasley ran in with a box at a rapid pace.
"Hey! Bruce, my brother. We're done! George shouted excitedly.
Bruce asked curiously, "What was accomplished?" ”
Ron saw the madness of his two brothers and reminded, "You two won't think of a new trick again." I warn you to be honest this semester. ”
"Oh! No, no, dear brother! The two immediately sat down next to Ron, and George said smugly, "There are two mistakes in your words, the first is that we have been busy with big things recently, so we don't have time to fix people. ”
"Second!" Fred continued, "Even the Minister of Magic is here to stop the Weasley brothers' righteous cause. Ha ha! ”
Saying that the two of them were still clapping their hands complacently in celebration, Bruce said curiously: "You guys are looking for me is the big thing that you are busy with?" ”
"That's right, look at this!" The two of them immediately came to Bruce with a brown suitcase with "Weasley" written on it, and when opened, inside were neatly packed boxes, each with a "W" on it.
"Look, it's done." The two of them said smugly, as if they were introducing a precious treasure to everyone.
"The Weasley brothers spoof snack packs, which contain sliced snacks and sick candy to help you get out of the classroom anytime, anywhere."
Hermione looked at the two of them speechlessly and said, "Eh! So...... What's the use of you telling us this? I don't need it.
Fred hurriedly said, "Please, have you all forgotten?" Hi Bruce! Don't you tell me you want to break the contract? ”
Bruce smiled bitterly: "Hehe, I'm very trustworthy, but...... Seriously, I really don't remember any conventions? ”
George hurriedly reminded, "Man, this is your attention. We want to donate money to support our prank cause. ”
"Ahh Hermione disagreed at first, and said angrily; "Are you two guys trying to get Bruce fired?"
"That's enough, I'll write to my mother." Ron threatened.
"Wait!" Bruce suddenly realized, "You misunderstood George and Fred, I did say that. ”
Hermione was so angry that she punched Bruce and reprimanded, "Why are you crazy too?" I didn't see you still in this interest before. ”
Bruce explained, "Don't get excited, dear. Not what you think. George and Fred's spoof toys are very marketable, and that's what I said when I was a guest at Ron's house before, and I came to fund us to open a store together. ”
"Specializing in selling whole person toys...... Store? Lavender said incredulously.
Bruce said, "Of course, I can't afford that a lot of money right now, but I can still rent a small storefront in Hogsmeade or Diagon Alley." ”
"Haha! Man, I love you so much. If I were a woman, I would definitely pursue you. George said excitedly.
"Huh! Forget it, don't give me nightmares, so I'll give you the money this weekend, and I'll say you're going to draft a contract first. Bruce said.
Fred said excitedly, "Of course, does Bruce know? You've made a very smart investment, and we're going to make a fortune. ”
Hermione stood up angrily and was about to speak, when George and Fred immediately ran out with their masterpieces.
"Bruce, did you ask for my opinion? I'm not going to let you mess with them. Hermione glared at Bruce angrily and said.
Lavender smiled: "Yo yo, look! Before she got married, Hermione was already in charge. ”
Hermione's face flushed, and she hurriedly said, "I'm afraid he's wasting money." ”
Bruce hugged Hermione and smiled; "Hello, dear. I'm not a blind impulsive person, these are my working capital, and it's only for one year, and if the business is bad after a year, I'll withdraw it. George and Fred were our friends, so they should help. ”
Ron said incredulously, "I thought you were talking about it, but I didn't expect it to be true." Bruce, I'm touched by what you said, but are you really going to do it? It would be bad if it was lost. ”
Lavender nodded and said, "That's right, buy this kind of thing...... I don't think so. ”
"Listen!" Hermione said angrily.
Bruce explained, "It's not as bad as you think, I've done some research. Isn't there a store on Diagon Alley that specializes in magical toys? It's not all spoof toys, but the spoof magic toys they buy are very popular. Fred and George don't lose out on this aspect, and what students need is novelty and fun, so the business is still profitable. ”
"What kind of business?" Harry's voice came, and he walked in leisurely, but what a few people didn't notice was that Harry had been trying his best to control his left hand, as if he was hiding something.
