Chapter 283: New Professors
"Mmmmmm Umbridge suddenly covered her mouth and was completely speechless.
"Ah, I'm sorry, Professor Umbridge, maybe I'll have to say something." Dumbledore looked at Umbridge apologetically, and continued, "As the Headmaster of Hogwarts, I think I have the right to do this, whether it's to hire professors or add classes. ”
With that, Dumbledore let go of Umbridge, who was so hard that she couldn't swallow it.
"You, how dare you, I'm a high-ranking official of the Ministry of Magic!"
Snape, who was on the side, suddenly said in a cold voice: "There are quite a few high-ranking officials in the Ministry of Magic. ”
Umbridge was stunned on the spot, a little embarrassed, and didn't know how to refute it.
Professor Sprout laughed, and she said, "I remember that Minerva was a high-ranking official at the Ministry of Magic, but she gave up and came to teach at Hogwarts. ”
Well, Professor Sprout's words made Umbridge's face even hotter, and of course, it was infuriating.
Professor Flitwick also said, "I don't think the Ministry of Magic can manage Hogwarts, and in front of Hogwarts, the Ministry of Magic is still a child. ”
Indeed, the Ministry of Magic is much younger than Hogwarts.
Umbridge clenched her palms, she listened to the ridicule of some of the little wizards below, took a breath and smiled reluctantly, and soon sat down again as if nothing had happened, but in her eyes, full of annoyance.
Umbridge lowered her head, thinking of the arrangement that Fudge had asked her to come, and quickly looked up haughtily, she was not in a hurry, now Dumbledore was too powerful, she needed a chance.
Seeing Umbridge quiet, Dumbledore nodded, turned around and said, "The boys will have to wait a little longer." ”
Dumbledore was speaking to the first-year students who were standing in the middle of the aisle.
He looked at Professor McGonagall, who nodded and walked over.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the next thing is a very important matter."
Dumbledore coughed, which puzzled the professors present.
Brie's matter had been told to the professors in advance, but the current matter was something that Dumbledore had thought about for a long time before deciding just now.
"What is Dumbledore going to do?" Professor Flitwick asked Brie in a whisper.
Brie shook her head, he didn't know.
While everyone was still suspicious, Dumbledore said, "I must declare that Minerva McGonagall, a lady who has worked at Hogwarts for many years, has done her due diligence in the position of Deputy Headmaster, and I am sure that no one will question this decision." ”
"I announce that I am stepping down from my position as Headmaster of Hogwarts to become Deputy Headmaster, and that Professor Minerva McGonagall will take the position of Headmaster!"
"What?" The professors whispered left and right, and Umbridge's eyes lit up, and she thought it was a great opportunity.
Internationally, because of Grindelwald's prison escape, people became panicked, and Dumbledore, who defeated Grindelwald, was naturally sought after, which made the Ministry of Magic have to temporarily avoid Dumbledore.
Originally, the Ministry of Magic was preparing to invade Hogwarts strongly, but everything was disrupted, and Umbridge could only look for an opportunity.
Dumbledore's resignation as Headmaster was a clear sign that he had something else to say.
This is undoubtedly against Grindelwald!
"I agree, I think Professor Minerva McGonagall would be a great Vice-Chancellor." Umbridge stood up and applauded before everyone had relented, her eyes full of hypocritical sincerity.
"The Ministry of Magic also supports this decision." She added, laughing disgustingly, like a toad hiccuping in a sticky lake.
"Bang Bang!" The applause gradually rang out, first in the Gryffindor direction, then in Slytherin, then in the rest of the houses.
The professors applauded enthusiastically, and even Snape had some energy, and it seemed that he didn't like Dumbledore as headmaster......
A short time after the handover ceremony of the Headmaster ended, Dumbledore relinquished the Headmaster's seat to Minerva and took up the Sorting Hat himself.
"It's been a long time since I've done this kind of work, and it's really nostalgic."
Dumbledore smiled and picked up the Sorting Hat and the list of freshmen, and began to let the freshmen go to the Sorting House.
"Congratulations, Headmaster McGonagall." Brie smiled at McGonagall, and he looked at Dumbledore and asked in a whisper.
"Dumbledore didn't have a lesson to teach, did he?"
McGonagall nodded.
"Not yet, he has more important things to do."
Professor McGonagall hesitated for a moment, thinking for a moment before telling Brie that there were too many people and that she didn't know what Dumbledore wanted to arrange.
Is that so, Brie nodded, and didn't continue to ask, anyway, it was probably just against Grindelwald, or Voldemort.
However, there is one more vacant seat.
In the teacher's seat, you may have overlooked the seat that belonged to the professor of the Magical Creature Protection Class.
McGonagall saw Brie's confusion, and she smiled and said, "You'll know in a moment, he's a little late." ”
The Magical Creature Protection Section is no longer in Hagrid's position, but it stands to reason that Hagrid should also be present as the Forbidden Forest Ranger.
Professor McGonagall said, "Hagrid has something to do, and it's Dumbledore's arrangement. ”
Brie heard the words and waited for the sorting to end.
"Vaughn Yinok!"
Hearing Vone's name, Brie looked up slightly.
"Gryffindor!" The Sorting Hat shouted.
Well, this kid does fit there.
Soon, the sorting ended, and at this time, a curly-haired head with brown and white hair appeared next to the gate.
"Headmaster McGonagall, it looks like he's coming."
Brie looked familiar, as if he had seen the old man hiding somewhere.
Dumbledore spotted him as well, and he hurried forward and crossed the aisle to pull the old man out.
"Come, here, we have our new professor of magical beast conservation!"
"Ah, he's Scamander!"
"I'm the author of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, I know."
Some Hufflepuff students commented.
Brie remembers, this is Newt Scamander!
"If Cedric had known that Newt Scamander was teaching at Hogwarts, he might have chosen to repeat a grade." Brie laughed.
Dumbledore brought the shy old man to the teacher's seat.
Then they were introduced, and it was clear that the two were friends, and Newt was slowly getting used to Dumbledore's introduction.
"Twitter!"
Sniff and sniff.
Brie pinched an old sniffer at his feet.
Sniffing has two handfuls of beards on his face, and he is very funny.
"Hug, I'm sorry, this is what I brought." Newt said in a sinister manner, rarely attending events, mostly communicating with magical creatures, a little jerky when he spoke to Brie, and a strange look in his eyes.
Brie was too young, which made Newt a little suspicious.
"Alright, let's start the feast!" Dumbledore shouted, and the table was filled with delicious food.
Newt also sat down in his seat with a sniff and ate silently.
It can be seen that this is an introverted professor.
When the feast was over, Dumbledore wanted the young wizards to sing the school song, but McGonagall, as the headmaster, stopped him.
Dumbledore expressed regret.
At this point, Umbridge stood up, and she was very upset that no one had introduced her.
"Look here!" Umbridge used amplification magic, which caused Snape, who was next to Umbridge's seat, to frown.
"I, Dolores Umbridge, a high-ranking official of the Ministry of Magic, am honored to be a professor in Defence Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts......"
Umbridge got up, got out of her seat, and walked to the podium, as if she was making a declaration, and as if she was doing a regular meeting of the Ministry of Magic, with an official tone and arrogance, she said with a smile: "The Ministry of Magic thinks that the little wizard is wrong to learn the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, and we need a capable wizard." ”
Obviously, she was talking about herself.
"I know very well what happened to you, except for Professor Quirrell, who had an accident in the first year, the rest of the professors are all kinds of accidents, this is a dereliction of duty on the part of Hogwarts, is it ...... The dereliction of duty of the former principal. ”
"That's what you can say, Professor Dumbledore." Umbridge smiled at Dumbledore.
Dumbledore frowned slightly, but didn't stop it.
Umbridge laughed even deeper, and she looked at the group of young wizards below and said, "You are lucky that the Ministry of Magic will bring new changes to Hogwarts. ”
"Ho-ho." Umbridge smiled sweetly, and then pouted and sat back in the professorship.
Dumbledore arranged for the prefects to leave with the young wizards.
As if remembering something, Dumbledore said to Umbridge, "I remember that the First Class badge of Sir Merlin has been issued, why didn't it be given to Professor Oude tonight?" ”
Dumbledore frowned and looked at Umbridge with a smile on his face, and Umbridge said naturally, "Oh, this is a big deal, the Ministry of Magic needs to think about it." ”
Umbridge secretly withheld Brie's Merlin badge, which was now in her little pink purse.
She was still minding what had just happened, and without giving Dumbledore any face, she turned and walked towards her office.
"He stinks, Albus, and it makes me sicker than I did when I saw Grindelwald's escape." Newt didn't know when he walked up to Dumbledore's side and said to him.
Dumbledore shook his head, ignoring Umbridge.
"Professor Ouder, can you come here?"
Dumbledore introduced Newt, "This is Brie Ode, the creator of natural magic and the professor of the new curriculum at Hogwarts. ”
Newt looked at Brie in surprise, in the United States, there was still some seclusion about the news of natural magic, especially for an otaku like him who only knew how to study magical creatures.
"Oh, I think I've heard that."
Dumbledore was a little surprised, but quickly said, "Looks like I'll have to give you a copy of The Foundations of Natural Magic, Newt." ”
Newt scratched his head and smiled apologetically at Brie.
"Albus, you decide how to arrange the rest of the matter." Professor McGonagall walked over.
She was followed by Snape and Sprout, and Professor Flitwick.
It seems that they are all very concerned about what happened after Dumbledore.
Snape asked, looking up indifferently and impatiently, "Are you going to deal with Grindelwald?" ”
"No, Severus." Dumbledore gave Snape an accurate answer.
Dumbledore was still waiting for Grindelwald's choice, which, of course, was untenable.
Snape got the answer he wanted, and stood silent.
Dumbledore then said to everyone: "I will reorganize the Order of the Phoenix, so I rarely stay at Hogwarts after that, and the school affairs depend on you." ”
Everyone nodded, the Order of the Phoenix still knew it.
And Newt was a little squirming.
"Albus, I ......"
Dumbledore had invited Newt to Hogwarts to deal with Grindelwald, and no one had more experience than Newt.
But Dumbledore thought for a moment and said to Newt, "Let's wait. ”
Newt understood that Dumbledore didn't want to face Grindelwald so quickly, so he sighed.
"Alright then, I'll have to figure out how to teach a little wizard."
Newt's tone was fraught with helplessness, but also with some excitement.
Dumbledore looked at Brie, who had been silent.
"Professor Oude, if there is anything you don't understand, you can find more other professors, compared to the rest of the professors, you still lack some life experience."
After Dumbledore finished smiling, he said to McGonagall, "I have been invited to the International Wizarding Advisor, and I will leave Hogwarts in a while, and I can't vacate the Headmaster's Office for the time being, I'm sorry." ”
McGonagall waved her hand to indicate that it didn't matter.
Dumbledore left after the phoenix appeared, and Newt looked nervously at Professor Sprout, who had arrived too late and had not yet arranged a place to live.
Professor Sprout patted Brie on the shoulder with his foot and said with some pride, "It's a pleasure to work with you, it's a real surprise." ”
After speaking, Professor Sprout said to Newt, "Professor Scamander, please come with me,"
Here, Professor Flitwick also said to Brie, "Oh, it's different, it's never been seen in the history of Hogwarts, but it's so convincing. ”
Professor Flitwick was so excited that he seemed to want to talk to Brie, but he had to go to see the eaglets tonight, so he had to say goodbye in a hurry.
Professor McGonagall was going to see the lions cubs, and she didn't want to drive them crazy just because she was the Headmaster.
Only Snape and Brie were left in the hall.
"You...... Very good. It took a long time for Snape to say this in a procrastinating tone, and Snape frowned at the sight of the platinum-blond hair coming out of the hallway, but said nothing.
"Don't disgrace your dean." Snape shook off his robes and walked briskly out of the hall, oblivious to the people in the hallway.
"I'm well prepared, but I'm still so surprised." Draco stepped out of the hallway and said to Brie with a look of surprise.
"Our amazing Professor Ode, haha!"
Draco laughed, "That's amazing, we have to celebrate, let's go to the kitchen!" ”
Brie is also very happy inside, and becoming a professor may be a good arrangement for him, which is also very helpful for spreading natural magic.
But it's more important to plant trees, which is what Brie will do next.
Of course, there's also the small world, and Brie's elemental transformation is still being studied.
Looking at Draco, Brie said, "I'm sorry, Draco, I have a class tomorrow." ”
Because of Umbridge's existence, Brie, who had just eaten dinner, was also a little hungry, but he was on his first day in office, so he had to ......
"I asked Dian Dian to prepare green apple pie, pudding, roast chicken, pancakes, ......"
Draco was like announcing a menu, and Brie pursed her lips.
"Then go and see, you have a piece of your heart......"
Anyway, according to "Natural Magic: Basic Analysis", natural magic is more focused on practical practice.
"Teacher......" Another small head popped up.
"A little lion on a night tour?" Draco looked at Vaughn and sighed.
Vaughn was followed by Hermione and Harry, as well as Luna and Yana.
"We, as prefects, are here to catch this disobedient little guy." Hermione had set the character for the operation, and she had already told Professor McGonagall anyway...... Oh no, it's Principal McGonagall.
"Let's go to the kitchen together, I think we'll be happy to have some." Brie smiled lightly.
