306 Whoever loses wins?
Where can the children of the Lestrade family be bullied, as long as they don't form a group to bully others, it can be regarded as benevolent.
To say that this Dolores Umbridge actually has a very important position in the Ministry of Magic, she is the deputy minister/director of the Ministry of Magic, and Fudge's confidant. However, no one knows how she managed to get to such a position, in short, she has been by Fudge's side for a long time, and her relationship with Fudge is one of glory and loss.
Fudge would put her in Hogwarts because of his trust in her, because he knew that his lieutenant was a very skilled person, and it would not be difficult for her to deal with Dumbledore.
Fudge also hated Harold Fincher, and he learned about his relationship with the Lestrade family through some news, which made Fudge even more angry. He hated Harry Potter very much now, and in Fudge's opinion, he was already very good to Harry, but this person actually united with Dumbledore to calculate himself, which was really hateful.
And that Harold Finch even helped him save face several times, this time the battle in London was discussed in many places, and the Muggle government detained some of the Death Eaters, including the most important Bellatrix. Lestrange. The first time Fudge himself had come to the Muggle Government, but his request for a meeting was denied on the grounds that their head was busy with other things.
Harold hung Fudge for a long time before meeting him, and although the man was smiling after the meeting, he gave Fudge a full sense of sarcasm. And their arrogant attitude made Fudge feel even more uncomfortable, originally in Fudge's opinion, there were some jobs that the Muggle world should cooperate with them and obey their command, but now it suddenly reversed, and they wanted to see the Muggle's face.
Anyway, when there were many conflicts, Fudge would complain and complain, and Harry caused some minor trouble.
Of course, the wise Lestrades know what Umbridge means, but they don't care, the soldiers will cover up what they have been through before, are they afraid of a middle-aged lady who likes to pretend to be tender? No matter how big the trouble is assigned to the nine people, it will become smaller, you must know that even if Umbridge wants to deal with them, it will deal with the nine little Lestrade.
They all knew that McCroft didn't want Fudge to sit in his position for too long, and when the time came, that position would be someone else.
Harry and Hermione took the first-year wizards to the Gryffindor common room, where the first-year wizards were chattering like little lions, which reminded Harry of his former self, but he and Thor seemed to be a little out of place at the time. There are even a lot of contradictions, but fortunately they are all in the past.
Harry had a need for Gryffindor, and he didn't want that to happen again.
Someone from the first year wizard secretly asked Harry if he was the one in the story, and Harry looked at the child who was a year or two older than Raven and nodded, "Probably, right?" Maybe there are other Harries in this Hogwarts? ”
Hermione looked at Harry, who was teasing the child, with a helpless face, "You are also broad-hearted, that one seems to be very aimed at you, I have seen you several times before." ”
They all know who Hermione is, don't they?
Harry held out his finger and shook it, "Hermione, you're wrong, it's not about me but us. ”
Hermione looked at Harry's confident look and didn't know who to mention, whether it was the Lestrades who were being targeted by Professor Umbridge, or the self-defeating Professor Umbridge.
After arranging the young wizards, Harry left with his invisibility cloak, and the city of Slytherin was intricate, so Harry thought it would be better to keep a low profile this year.
Ron watched Harry leave and handed Harry a copy of this year's class schedule, and then said, "That Professor Umbridge is said to have been arranged by Fudge, and my father came home to talk about it before, and it seems that it was for Professor Dumbledore, and of course you Harry." ”
Arthur Weasley is from the Ministry of Magic after all, so the news is also well-informed, originally this professor's position was intended for Sirius, who would have thought that Fudge would forcibly arrange such a person.
"Thank you for your message, brother."
Harry knew it was like that, but he really didn't care, did he?
Ron shrugged, "If I had to bet, I'd bet you would, Harry." ”
Ron didn't want one Umbridge to be able to handle the four of them, did he really think that Harry Potter and his brothers could handle it casually? Five years later, after all this experience, Harry is still standing and even completely standing in Gryffindor, which says it all.
And Loki, Gryffindor plus Slytherin, it still sounds exciting.
Harry knew that Ron had changed a lot, and he was starting to grow up, at least not as reckless as he used to be, did he? It was great news, and Harry was happy about Ron's growth.
Draco looked at the people who had been brought in by Loki and Thor, who had placed an anti-eavesdropping spell in the room.
Draco and Loki have figured out a little bit of the meaning of Slytherin wizards today, especially those who are closely related to the Death Eaters, they are roughly divided into two kinds, represented by Pansy, who have their own ideas and will follow Draco's opinions, and the other group has been brainwashed by the ideas of purebloods, although they still respect Draco, but they have begun to distance themselves, Draco is worried that they will write about the school in the family letter, which will affect his father.
"It's really a clear division."
Harry didn't know what Gryffindor was thinking, but he believed that ninety percent of wizards were hostile to the Death Eaters' children, especially Draco.
However, before the war broke out in full force, while Dumbledore could still suppress it, they didn't need to worry.
"I've discussed with Draco that Thor and I will move to Merlin's dormitory if necessary, after all, the first thing to do is to keep Lucius safe anyway, Voldemort doesn't like his right-hand child to be close to his nemesis' brother, and that person will be even more suspicious after Thor is injured."
Harry agreed when he heard Loki's words, anyway, there was still too much uncertainty in Slytherin, wasn't there? If someone had one more word and threatened Lucius' safety, they wouldn't forgive themselves.
"Especially your scarhead, it's best not to show up with me casually."
Draco poked Harry in the chest, and Harry gripped his fingers, "No, that's what I refuse. ”
He could say anything, but only that.
Loki and Thor were very interested in tidying up their things and giving the two of them a little space, Harry really hadn't seen this person in a long time, hadn't he?
Harry suddenly hugged Draco, biting the man's ear and saying, "I'll take care of everything for you." ”
Draco's ears were all red, how could this man ......
By the time Draco had fallen asleep beside him, Harry opened his eyes, his mind confused.
For the first time after returning to Hogwarts, Harry began to worry about whether he could protect Draco, in fact, Slytherin wizards were more thoughtful than Gryffindor, each of them was very good at disguise, although Draco was not a baby to protect, but Harry was still worried.
He looked at the man who was cowering next to him, and his brow never let go, but Harry was tired today, and he closed his eyes when he looked at him.
Harry had a dream in which he was in the darkness and someone was talking to him.
The voice seemed to be his own, "Do you want to protect Draco Malfoy?" You should have caught up with Voldemort at the time, and if you killed him, you would have protected Draco Malfoy, wouldn't you? You know, with the help of Loki and Merlin, you can do it, you're stronger than him. ”
Harry couldn't tell what it was, but he was sure that it was the voice that was tempting him to kill Voldemort.
The voice didn't last long, Harry turned in the darkness and saw Draco standing there, a smiling Draco held out his hand to him, and then said obediently, "Harry, do you want to protect me?" ”
Haray retracted his outstretched hand and scattered the phantom in front of him, Draco wouldn't say anything to him asking him to protect him, the man would only arrogantly say that he thought of him as a girl, and he hated him very much!
Harry didn't sleep well that night, he had a lot of dreams, in his dreams there were things in the past and his own fantasies about the future, Harry always thought that someone was talking to him, he was a little unsure if it was his second personality, after all, under a certain amount of pressure, knowing will produce a dual personality, which is completely opposite to the current personality.
Harry woke up and thought he might need Hannibal's help in diagnosing himself.
The voice made him kill Voldemort, which was strange, he never thought to kill someone on his own initiative.
Draco woke up and looked at Harry's dark circles and said with half mockery and half concern, "What, Harry Potter still recognizes the bed?" ”
Harry stretched, since Draco had said so, he was ready to continue, just to cover up his nightmares.
"I just can't sleep with excitement, I finally see you, but I recognize the bed a little bit."
Loki clearly sensed that Harry had something on his mind, but Harry pretended that nothing had happened, and to be honest, this was the first time they had been brothers for so many years, and Harry didn't say anything.
However, Harry never dreamed like that after that, and because he didn't have time to contact Hannibal, Harry gradually put the matter aside.
However, fifth year is also very important to Harry, because fifth year also has another name, . In LS year, this exam is mandatory for fifteen-year-old wizards, and the exam will be held at the end of the fifth year and will last for two weeks. In the morning, there is a written test in theory, and in the afternoon, there is a practical test.
Each course they have previously taken will be graded and there will be a corresponding score from T to O.
So for the little wizards in the fifth grade, what they need to do this year is to study hard, knowing that these exams will not be too easy.
On the first day, Harry met Professor Snape, and the professor was as poisonous as ever. LS exam, after all, Potions class is also within the scope of the exam, isn't it?
"Although it is true that there are a few people in this class who are mentally retarded. I can barely 'pass' in the LS exam, otherwise I will be very angry. ”
You see, it's still the same poisonous tongue as always, isn't it?.., the ultimate wizard exam. This exam is very important. LS certificate before you can register for the next exam.
And Professor Snape also said that he would only select smart students to enter the Potions class for the next ultimate wizarding exam, Hermione sat up straight, although Professor Snape's mouth was very poisonous, but the professor's ability was unquestionable, Hermione really wanted to enter Professor Snape's Potions class, she knew the importance of potions.
Snape glanced at Draco, the most satisfying student in the fifth year was Draco, Draco had a high attainment in potions, and besides Draco, the only ones who could barely get into Professor Snape's eyes were Harry Potter and Miss Jack-of-all-trades. Although he didn't want to admit it, maybe Harry really inherited Lily's abilities in potions.
Among the junior students, Merlin Lestrade is the most satisfied with Snape in terms of potions, although he is young, he can do an excellent job in potion production every time, he is actually more like he was born for potions, Snape intends to focus on cultivating Merlin's talent in this area.
Because who knows if there will be a big war, and if there is, they need someone to be a potions master in the back.
On the first day, there was not only Professor Snape's class, but also the fifth year Gryffindor and Defence Against the Dark Arts class, and Harry felt a little irritated at the thought that he was going to meet the pink lady.
Professor Umbridge had arrived before them, and by the time they entered the classroom, she was already sitting waiting for them, and the whole class had closed their mouths and sat down in silence, they didn't know anything about the professor, so they had already learned to be in the fifth grade.
"Good afternoon, students!"
She sat there smiling, and Harry heard her voice and remembered that when he was in elementary school, the teachers who taught them liked to say hello to them like this, but they were more gentle than Umbridge's lovely teachers, and the smiles on their faces were not as fake as Umbridge's.
"Good afternoon, Professor Umbridge."
Harry glanced at Thor and Hermione, and the other Gryffindor students immediately followed in with the three of them, greeting the professor together. It wasn't in unison, but Umbridge glanced at Harry sitting in front of them and didn't say anything.
"Say hello next time, then put away your wands and take out your quills."
She deliberately feigned a swishing sound that made Harry feel like his goosebumps were already rising. Umbridge really opened up a whole new kind of Defence Against the Dark Arts class, and they had four professors before, and even the most grass-faced Professor Lockhart didn't let them start with theory like Umbridge did.
"This year, we're going to be studying a carefully chosen, theoretical-focused, Ministry-approved Defence of Magic course. Please copy these words. ”
On the blackboard, there was a big question about the course objectives, and there were some small regulations below, and Harry whispered to Saul beside him while copying it with a quill, "Only Harold can study like this, right?" ”
"Harry, Harold, they don't bother to learn this so-called course objective."
Hermione raised her own question, since Defence Against the Dark Arts class was mainly about defense and magic practice, and Hermione didn't know what the purpose of them sitting in the classroom was reading now? Is it really possible to learn magic? . Ls。
"You will learn defensive spells in a safe, risk-free way—"
Harry raised his hand slowly, he knew that Umbridge would be paying attention to him, because she was eager to find a few charges against her. Harry didn't want to bother with this in the first place, but Hermione was obviously a little angry, a little aggrieved, to be honest, how could someone who was spoiled by them be bullied by others?
"Mr. Harry Potter, do you have any questions?"
Harry cleared his throat and said, "Professor Umbridge, how do we defend ourselves when we are in danger?" After learning the defense spell systematically, without practice. ”
"Does Mr. Potter think there's going to hurt me in my classroom?"
Umbridge's voice was a little annoyed, Harry stood up and pressed Thor who wanted to help him speak, in fact, the two of them wanted to say the same thing, both of them participated in the battle of London, and even now Umbridge is still denying the danger, like Fudge.
"Of course I wouldn't question Hogwarts' protection of us, but professors like me, Miss Granger, and many of our classmates are Muggles, aren't they? The shadow of the Battle of London has been haunting me, and I've heard that many people have died in the London Eye because it was not defended, and we were all worried about what we should do if that happened during the holidays. Should we let it go? ”
Harry deliberately mentioned the London Eye, who didn't know that the person who was placed in the London Eye was Fudge's cronies, and although Fudge was abandoned by Fudge for such a big accident, it was rumored that he kept calling Fudge's name when he was imprisoned in Azkaban.
Only a few people know about Harry's involvement in the Battle of London, and among that few people is Umbridge, who knows that Harry is doing it on purpose, and that he is deliberately trying to sow discord between himself and the students.
She tried to smile as much as she could, not listening to the whispers of the students, "Mr. Potter is talking too seriously, because the Death Eaters were all arrested during the Battle of London, and it was just a revenge from the Death Eaters, and you should trust the Ministry of Magic's abilities." ”
She's avoiding the important, Umbridge is political, but Harry isn't weak either. How could that smart person in their family not hear it?
"So what the professor means is that when we're on vacation, the Ministry of Magic will send someone to protect us? Behind everyone? ”
"I mean, that's not going to happen."
Umbridge knew why Fudge hated Harry Potter so much, and it was said that Harold Finch was even more aggressive, although she hadn't heard of it, but now she could feel a thing or two, after all, these two people didn't have the same surname.
"Does the professor really dare to guarantee it? On behalf of the Ministry of Magic, a guarantee that nothing like this will happen again? No one will die because of the war? Wouldn't there be wizards or Muggles who would be harmed? ”
"Mr. Harry Potter - this is class, your question time is over, we need to have class."
She couldn't guarantee it, she couldn't let Harry say it any more, the little wizards obviously didn't trust her anymore, maybe there were people who chose to trust the Ministry of Magic before, but ...... If Harry's words get out......
Harry smiled and sat down, "I said too much, Professor Umbridge, and I apologize to you. ”
Umbridge smiled even when she was angry, and she stroked her hair and began to focus on the book.
"You just have to be very solid in the theory and nothing will happen, ladies and gentlemen, now look at your books."
Harry knew that Umbridge wanted to deal with herself now, but there was nothing she could do, and Harry was not at all wrong in his aggressive manners, not even the name he couldn't say. Does Umbridge want to deal with him with Harry Potter problems? That was unconvincing, so now Umbridge had to endure it.
But this year has just begun, hasn't it? She didn't believe that every single one of the little Lestrids could go wrong, and by the way, after Dumbledore went down from this position, she had a way to make them look good.
Yes, Thor looked at the smiling Umbridge with a strange face, and thought to himself, it was indeed just the beginning of this year, and her first contact with Harry, who was not venomous, had already thought about what Loki would make this person popular.
"Then be careful."
Harry whispered, and Thor nodded, but don't this dear Professor Umbridge treat them like soft persimmons that can be handled at will? That way they'll have a hard time.
Harry didn't know how much chemistry his words had in Gryffindor, and it also laid the foundation for his men to be able to recruit so many helpers after the war officially began, the fifth year students were not stupid, they had their own outlook on life and values, they knew better who was right and who was wrong, and they also saw what the attitude of this new professor was like.
It turns out that the Ministry of Magic doesn't want them to learn more defensive magic, does it?
In this chaotic time, at the moment when the man was resurrected in the midst of the Death Eaters.
