Although Umbridge didn't want to name Hermione at all, it was a "right" for students to ask questions in the classroom. Even if she wanted to ignore it, it had to be within a limit.

Looking at Hermione's unyielding face when she didn't agree to the question, Umbridge had already prepared her own set of words. In her opinion, the ignorant girl with a stubborn face must be trying to oppose her.

Because that girl's eyes were exactly the same as those of a stubborn boss in the Ministry of Magic.

However......

“…… Personally, I think it's wonderful! ”

Neither the classmates around her, nor Umbridge, who was sitting behind the lectern, could guess Hermione's words.

"Hmm...... Is it? Umbridge still had that sweet and disgusting smile on his face, but there was a wave of discomfort in his heart, "Honey, since you think so, it would be better - sit down and read on!" ”

But Hermione didn't mean to sit down, she still stood behind her desk, her eyes firm and focused.

"Of course, I really enjoyed reading it too much, but—" she paused deliberately to keep everyone's eyes a little more focused before continuing, "Actually, I'd rather hear some of your understanding of the book, Professor. LS exam to get a better score. ”

There is no doubt that the variety of students and teachers will result in a variety of classrooms. At the end of the day, the immediate goal of a student's attendance is to do well in their exams.

Whatever the hell Umbridge was trying to do at Hogwarts, she came in as a "professor", so she had to respond to Hermione's words.

Because Hermione's words not only did not have anything wrong, but also showed her admiration for the teaching materials very blatantly.

"Oh, of course, my dear......" Umbridge suppressed the inexplicable irritability in her heart, and she smiled with a smile on her face, "What's your name?" ”

"Hermione Granger, Professor." Hermione replied quickly.

"Very well, I clearly feel your love for this book in your words," Umbridge nodded, "of course I'll explain it to you, but it will have to be after you've read it—Miss Granger, I want you to finish the first chapter first, okay?" ”

"Professor, act......ually," Hermione lowered her eyes with a pretended twist, and then looked up again, "because this book is so wonderful, I couldn't hold back last night, and spent most of the night memorizing it......"

"Ahem"

Harry, who was sitting on the sidelines completely confused, choked on his own saliva after hearing this.

"W-uh-huh?" The smirk on Umbridge's face froze inconspicuously, "Then you can recite it—"

"Chapter 1, Introductory Fundamentals. As we all know, Defense Against Magic is a discipline that protects young wizards from inappropriate spells, and by its very nature, we should protect ourselves from ...... based on a legitimate and reasonable premise."

Hermione memorized it smoothly and didn't even stumble, but to be honest, although Umbridge read through the whole book, she really didn't have the ability to memorize it all at once.

But if she opened the book and looked at it, even if she was really thick-skinned, it was just in vain.

Because even if Hermione memorizes it wrong, it can only be rewarded and not punished, after all, as long as Hermione starts to memorize, she is correct, and she is a "good student" who loves to learn.

"Well, okay, very good......" Hermione hadn't been able to memorize for long before she was interrupted by the dilemma Umbridge took the initiative to speak, "Although there are some omissions, this can be forgiven, but you can't just rely on rote memorization when learning, and understand the author's intention in the process of reading......"

This time, Umbridge spoke very quickly, apparently to prevent Hermione from interjecting. Because her first two sentences were just a pretext for her to regain control of the situation, and if Hermione made it clear, then she would lose more than she gained.

Hermione, however, didn't pick and choose between Umbridge's two face-saving words, she just stood in her seat and waited quietly for Umbridge's lengthy cliché to come to an end.

A few minutes later, when Umbridge had once again warned everyone to read the textbook and not just look at the surface, Hermione spoke again.

"Yes, Professor Umbridge said it so well! We should have a deeper understanding of the theories of the author of this book, Mr. Wilbert Slinka," she continued, nodding her head very earnestly, "On this point I read in the book an important point of Mr. Scullin—"

"Mr. Scullin stated that the use of any offensive defensive magic should not be encouraged."

"Yes, my class will teach you how to learn the art of magical defense and use it to protect yourselves legally, safely, and without risk." Umbridge raised an eyebrow and said, "Miss Granger, do you have any questions about that?" ”

I couldn't agree more! Because it doesn't hurt anyone else or yourself...... But ......"

Speaking of this, Hermione rubbed the thumb and index finger of her right hand subconsciously, which was to relieve some emotions in her heart.

"However, Mr. McLean, our professor of ancient magic, does not adhere to this view-"

The speed of her speech also suddenly increased.

"During that personal audio-visual session during the summer vacation, Professor McLean used an extremely aggressive magic to chase off Voldemort, and he was awarded the Order of the Merlin Order of the Second Degree!"

"Professor Umbridge, I think Professor McLean's actions are disrespectful to Mr. Slinka, and to you, Professor, and to be irresponsible to himself - there is something wrong with this Merlin Medal of his own!"

After the welcome dinner, Umbridge had someone send in information about Maca overnight. However, for the person "Macka McLean", she can only say that she has no idea where to start.

Maca's resume is obviously very jumpy, with a lot of records from positive to negative, but no matter which one, it is so "big" that people dare not interfere at will.

Especially recently, since Maca's "spy" identity was revealed, the biggest negative cases have been completely broken back to the positive.

Even if she Umbridge wanted to "do something" in it, it would not be done in a moment - the people and things involved were too deep.

Right now, Hermione has put on the image of a "Umbridge champion" on herself, but she has thrown the most fundamental ideas of "Magical Defense Theory", the most fundamental point of the textbook designated by Umbridge, onto Maca's head.

This made Umbridge can't help but twitch the corner of his eye.

The Merlin Medal is awarded by the International Confederation of Wizards, can she say a "no"?

Even if she wanted to start from this point, she would have to prepare enough evidence in the shadows. If she dared to talk baseless gibberish in public, someone might invite her to Wizengamot for tea another day.

So Hermione could say that, but she couldn't—who made her not only a professor, but also a high-ranking official in the Ministry of Magic?

"Hmm...... I'm about to report this to the Ministry of Magic......" Umbridge was really choked by her, but at this time she could only hold back her anger, "Miss Granger, please sit down!" ”

Umbridge has been "struggling" in the Ministry of Magic for so many years, relying on all kinds of shady means to climb to the top. But even so, being able to climb so high in the Ministry of Magic shows that her surface skills are still quite clever.

At least, under Hermione's attack of hiding needles, she was still not annoyed, but the smirk on her face was already extremely thick.

This time, however, it was Hermione's turn to defy her will.

"Thank you, but ......," Hermione said with a feigned pity, "since the International Confederation of Wizards has awarded Professor McLean the Merlin Medal, can we continue to study this book of The Theory of Magical Defence, which is contrary to the meaning of the Federation's awards?" ”

"Absolutely!" Umbridge took a deep breath, "The International Federation awarded Mr. McLean a medal in recognition of his achievements and contributions, and whether his actions were appropriate or not will require further review and discussion. ”

She said kindly in a tone that was so sweet that she was tired, "So, I've said it just now, and I'm ready to report this to the Ministry of Magic - sit down, Miss Granger!" ”

"Hermione, she sat down, she finally sat down!" - This is a thought that is passing through everyone's minds at the same time.

Umbridge didn't say a word again during the rest of the school day, and the students kept their mouths shut.

If nothing else, just because of Hermione's words just now, they felt that whatever they said now was superfluous.

People are about to reject this textbook, can it be that they can do better?

While most students don't like Umbridge, only a few can stand up and say more, and not everyone can stand up to the professor.

But on the other hand, wouldn't it be nice if Hermione could stab the old woman with a soft knife?

As soon as the bell rang for the end of class, Umbridge walked out of the classroom with a book in his hand, without even looking back.

"Hermione, what happened to you? Isn't that like you? ”

Harry and Ron were surprised, but Hermione smiled.

"yes, I know that......" she shrugged, "Actually, I was just trying to argue about the content of the book at first, but Umbridge kept ignoring my raised hand, which gave me more time to think......"

“…… Then I suddenly remembered what Marka and Dumbledore had done yesterday, and I thought it was telling us something-"
