Chapter 194: Pink Terror (2)
While Ike was still searching for traces of the Giant Tribe in the mountains, Hermione, who was still attending Hogwarts, experienced the most irritating period for her.
She didn't know when this irritability would go away, but she couldn't forget for the rest of her life when it started—Defence Against the Dark Arts class.
In a way, Umbridge was also a very powerful character, having succeeded Quirrell and Lockhart as Hermione's worst Defence Against the Dark Arts professor.
I didn't have any practical time, I couldn't even take out my wand, I just silently read the flawed pure theory textbook "The Theory of Magical Defense".
Hermione, who had flipped through the book early, knew very well that she would not have gotten an O in the OWLS exam under these circumstances.
If you don't get O, it means failure, and the person who makes her fail is the enemy! Amazingly, that's what the vast majority of students at Hogwarts think.
"What should we do, it's impossible to pass the OWLS exam if we continue like this!" On the long Gryffindor table in the Great Hall, Hermione held a book and looked at Harry and Ron with serious expressions.
"Yes, exams, that's all you have to think about......" Ron was a little impatient.
"Ron, this is the most important thing of the school year! Didn't you listen to Professor McGonagall? Hermione's tone was tinged with anger, and her eyes widened.
"Of course I heard, she emphasized it in every Transfiguration class." Ron sighed,
"But see for yourself, who can put his mind on studying but you now?" Hermione still glared at Ron, but even she had to admit that Ron was telling the truth.
At Hogwarts today, there are very few people who can put their hearts on learning. Again, the reason is that - Umbridge.
Just over two weeks after the start of the school year, the Ministry of Magic published a report in the Daily Prophet that Umbridge had been appointed by the Ministry of Magic as its first senior investigator and had the right to vet other professors.
Since then, students have seen Umbridge appear in the professors' classes, wearing a disgusting pink coat, holding a large notebook, writing on it, and interrupting the professors' lectures with inexplicable questions.
No professor liked her, but with the exception of Professor McGonagall, the other professors had no way to do anything about her, not even Snape, who could only answer all the questions asked by Umbridge honestly.
"I can't go on like this, I swear, I'll go crazy if I read that Defence Against Magic book again!" Hermione scratched at her hair, making a mess of it, and then struggled to get it back to its original shape as much as possible.
Of course, she failed.
But what can we do? Didn't you read the recent Daily Prophet? Ron said,
"It was Education Order No. 22 that made her a professor of Defence Against the Dark Arts, Education Order No. 23 that made her an investigator, and the abolition of clubs and organizations organized by students was ...... of Education Order No. 24"
"And a few days ago, the freshly released "Education Order No. 25" made her completely control our life......" Harry suddenly interjected,
"You know, that got us banned, and even disbanded all Quidditch teams......" Harry sighed, clearly feeling depressed, "She's a demon!" ”
"No, no, no, maybe the old witch is more appropriate." Ron corrected.
"That's it!" Hermione knocked on the table, ending the disturbing topic,
"Enough, don't talk about her, the more you talk, the more angry you get."
"So you're here, and you've finally found it." Harry was about to say something when he was suddenly interrupted.
Following the sound, it was Angelina, the current captain of Gryffindor's team.
"There's good news for you, and I can't wait to tell you!"
"Is there any good news now?" Ron was pessimistic and even threw himself on the table.
"I got the go-ahead! Reorganize your Quidditch team! ”
"Really? That's great! Harry and Ron cheered in unison and jumped to their feet and gave them a high-five.
"That's right!" Angelina smiled,
"I've gotten Professor McGonagall, she's probably going to beg Dumbledore, anyway- Umbridge has budged!"
"So, at seven o'clock in the evening, the Quidditch pitch, it's only three weeks until the first game!"
"No problem!"
"I can't wait!"
"Excellent! Keep it that way! Angelina gave a thumbs up,
"Let's go first, and I'll inform the rest of the team." Watching Angelina leave, the excited Harry and Ron high-fived again, this is the best news they have received recently.
"Calm down, don't get too excited." Hermione poured cold water at the right time,
"You wouldn't be naïve enough to think that Umbridge wouldn't meddle during the game......"
"This ......" Harry and Ron were stunned for a moment, then put away their smiles. Indeed, as Hermione had said, they had rejoiced too soon.
"And ......," Hermione whispered as she closed the book and leaned forward, looking at the people around her,
"Don't forget that we have another identity now, and it wouldn't be nice if she found out......," Hermione said, before Education Order 24 was issued.
At that time, Hermione, who knew that she would continue to study according to the study plan established by Umbridge, had no hope of passing the OWLS exam: let Harry teach interested people how to use Defence Against the Dark Arts and how to fight.
The proposal was quickly agreed upon by Harry and Ron, who told a few more of their friends, and finally formed an army, Dumbledore's army, at the Hog's Head Bar, which had once been used by the elves as a headquarters for the rebellion, to learn the magic that could be used in various battles in order to better face the dangers that might come.
Those who join know that this is bound to happen in the future. Everyone helped, Harry was in charge of teaching and providing the venue, the Room of Requirement, which Hermione hadn't been to for almost half a year; Stewart, Terry and others are in charge of assisting, and they have been trained by Eckert to be not much worse than Harry in terms of combat level, but they have no actual combat experience.
The twins are responsible for the logistics, and there is an unlimited supply of candy, prank props, and butterbeer, but the reality is that no one touches them while teaching.
The effect is very good, and it is going well, and there is no harm in it except to hide and hide.
There was no way, Umbridge seemed to know that this small group they had organized could never be discovered by her.
"So, be careful, it's not in a good ...... now," Hermione's expression was very serious, and Harry and Ron nodded their heads again and again.
It's been almost five years, and they know very well that when Hermione shows this expression, they must not refute or question her.
Absolutely not! ------ off topic------ well, there's only a short and weak chapter...... I have to celebrate my dad at night, and there is a high probability that I won't be able to stay awake
