Chapter 891: Humiliation
In fact, Hagrid's class wasn't that bad, at least for now, but Hagrid's teaching had to be interrupted once again.
Umbridge is coming. She was standing a few feet away from Harry, her green hat and robe, her clipboard ready. Hagrid had never heard Umbridge's fake cough before, and stared at the nearest Yeqi with concern, apparently thinking it was making that noise.
It's a little Night, maybe it's a little uncomfortable?
"Uh-huh...... Hmph......" Umbridge and Nightsy made a noise together, but Hagrid could tell that someone was making a noise this time.
"Oh hello!" Hagrid said, smiling, finding the source of the voice.
For Hagrid's size, Umbridge, who wasn't as tall as Hermione, was too hard to spot, if she wasn't wearing such terrible clothes.
"Did you receive the note I sent to your cottage in the morning?" said Umbridge, in a voice as loud and slow as last time, as if she were talking to some foreign, very dull person. "Tell you I'm going to inspect your class?"
"Ah yes," Hagrid said cheerfully. "I'm so glad you found this place! So, just like you see...... Oh, sorry, I don't know...... Can you? We're going to learn Umbridge today—"
"Excuse me?" Umbridge said aloud, cupping her hand in her ear and frowning. "What did you say?"
Hagrid looked confused.
"Yeqi!" he exclaimed. "Big...... Belch...... Winged horses, you know!" he flapped his huge arms hopefully.
Umbridge raised her eyebrows and muttered as she took notes on her clipboard. "'Need...... Turn to ...... Poor ...... Sign language ......'"
"Hmm...... Anyway......" Hagrid said, turning to face his class, looking a little flustered. "Hmm...... Where did I just go?"
"'Looks...... Yes...... Very bad...... Short...... Time limit...... Memory ......'" Umbridge muttered, loud enough for everyone to hear.
Pansy looked as if Christmas was a month early, and Hermione, on the contrary, turned scarlet, holding back her anger.
That startled Vanlin, but that was within Umbridge's normal remit, at least for now.
"Oh, yes," Hagrid said, glancing uncomfortably at Umbridge's clipboard, the difficulty continued.
"By the way, I was about to tell you why we have a group too. yes, well, we started with one male and five females. This one," he patted the first one to appear, "it's called Uwu, he's my favorite, the first to be born in this forest—"
"Did you realize," interrupted Umbridge, loudly, "that the Ministry of Magic has classified Nightqi as a 'dangerous animal'?"
Harry's heart sank like a stone, but Hagrid only smiled.
"Yeqi is not dangerous! Indeed, if you provoke them, they will bite you......"
"'As soon as I think of it...... Violent...... It will ...... Performance...... It's nice to ......'" Umbridge continued to underestimate as he took notes on the clipboard.
"No...... Really!" Hagrid was in a bit of a hurry now. "Dogs can bite people too, if you provoke him, won't they—but Yeqi just has a bad reputation, just because of the death - people have always thought they were bad omens, didn't they? They just don't understand, do they?"
Questioning, Hagrid looked at Umbridge hopefully.
But Umbridge didn't answer, she took her final notes, then looked up at Hagrid and said, again very loudly and slowly, "Please continue the class as usual." I'm going to take a walk. ”
She made a walking gesture...... Malfoy and his dogleg brothers laughed secretly......
"Among the Students"...... Pointing to individual members of the class...... she said, "Ask them some questions. She pointed to her lips to speak. Hagrid stared at her, apparently completely unaware of why she was acting like he didn't understand normal English.
Now Hermione's eyes filled with tears of anger. "Witch, you wicked witch!" she whispered, as Umbridge walked toward Slytherin. Hermione was still cursing, and it was clear that Umbridge had brought enough resentment to the girl.
Maybe you should take Hermione with you when you leave......
"I know what you're doing, you bad ugly, perverted and vicious ......"
"Uh...... In short," Hagrid said, clearly trying to revive his teaching process, "then...... Yeqi. Yes. Well, they have a lot of advantages......"
"Do you think," Professor Umbridge said to Pansy in her loud voice, "can you understand Professor Hagrid when he speaks?"
"No...... Because...... Well...... Sounds like grunts a lot of the time......" Umbridge scribbled on her clipboard.
Hagrid's face was red without a bruise, but he tried to act as if he hadn't heard Pansy's answer.
"Uh...... Yes...... Advantages of Yeqi. Well, once they're domesticated, like these horses, you won't get lost again. They have an amazing sense of direction, just tell them where you want to go—"
"Assuming they understand you, of course," Malfoy said aloud, smiling indulgently at Professor Umbridge before turning to the boy who could see Nightqi and Neville.
"You can see Nightgie, Longbottom, right?" Umbridge said. The two of them nodded reluctantly.
"Whose deaths have you ever seen?" she asked, her tone nonchalant.
The Slytherin boy didn't answer, just watched, and Neville was clearly unable to ignore Umbridge......
"My... My grandfather," Neville said.
"And what do you think of them?" she said, waving her stubby hand toward the horses, who had now torn the carcasses of the cattle to the bone.
"Uh," Neville said nervously, glancing at Hagrid. "Well, they ...... Belch...... Ok......"
"'Students...... Can't...... Go...... Admit...... They...... Scared ......"
Umbridge muttered and scribbled another note on the clipboard.
"No!" Neville said in a panic. "No, I'm not afraid of them ——!"
"Very good," Umbridge said, patting Neville on the shoulder, squeezing out a deliberately understanding smile, though it looked more like a malicious glance at Harry.
"All right, Hagrid," she said, turning her head to look at him again, and in that high, slow voice, "I think we've been in contact long enough. You'll get (as if she's going to get something out of the air in front of her) your test results (she points to that notepad) in ten days. Umbridge held up the ten stubby fingers at last, and then, with a smile widened, tucked under her hat, more like a toad than ever.
Umbridge hurried away from them, leaving Malfoy and Pansy laughing, Hermione trembling with rage, and Neville looking confused and confused.
"That evil, lying, perverted old monster!"
Hermione finally erupted half an hour later, as they were on their way back to the castle, and as they passed through the hallway they noticed that the snow was falling earlier than usual.
