Chapter 79: Conflict

They were quiet again. Hermione looked at Harry and Ron uneasily, and couldn't help but sneak a glance at Lockhart, who had just calmed down, and became depressed again, she already realized that she didn't have a chance.

"But Hagrid, you haven't told us why you did this," Ron said, gesturing to Hagrid's bloody face.

"Who attacked you?" said Ron.

"I'm not being attacked!" Hagrid said forcefully, "I--"

But his words were interrupted by a sudden knock on the door, and Hermione gasped, and the cup in her hand fell and shattered on the ground, and her teeth screamed. The four of them looked together at the window by the door, where a stocky figure was reflected in the thin curtains.

"It's her!" Ron whispered.

"Hide. Lockhart sued them.

"Hagrid, hide our cups!" the savior trio slipped into the cloak of invisibility.

Hagrid grabbed the cups on the table and stuffed them under the cushions of the tooth basket. Tooth was now jumping at the door, and Hagrid pushed him away with his foot, then pulled it open.

Umbridge stood in the doorway, wearing her green tweed cloak and ear protector hat of the same color. She pursed her lips and leaned back to see Hagrid's face, barely waist-tall.

"So," she said slowly, aloud as if to a deaf man, "you're Hagrid, aren't you?"

"He's Hagrid, of course, Lady Inspector. Lockhart said behind Hagrid's back.

She walked into the room, her bulging eyes staring at Lockhart. "It's you, Professor Lockhart, why are you here. ”

"Is there a rule that professors are not allowed to visit their colleagues? Lockhart responded unceremoniously.

Umbridge turned to look at Hagrid and said sweetly, "No, but I now have the right to interfere with teaching and to expel unqualified professors, Mr. Lockhart." ”

"So what. Lockhart raised an eyebrow.

"Go away," she snapped, waving her handbag at Tooth, who had run up to her to lick her face, "so I don't think I'll do anything to you for Miss Fudge's sake, but I think this colleague of yours is very unqualified." ”

"Uh--I don't want to be rude," Hagrid glared at her, "but who are you?"

"Dolores Umbridge, Deputy Minister for Magic, current Hogwarts Inspector, Hagrid...... Professor. ”

Her gaze swept over the hut and finally rested on Lockhart.

"What's that?" Hagrid asked, frowning.

"I have the right to interfere with your lessons and expel you, Mr. Hagrid!" Umbridge said angrily.

"However, as long as our Defence Against the Dark Arts professors are willing to change to a safe way of teaching, I think everyone is still qualified. Umbridge suddenly changed his sweet voice.

"I stick to my way of teaching, ma'am, but you can come to my class to stop me, you have that right now, don't you. Lockhart snorted.

"That's what you said, Mr. Lockhart!" Umbridge seemed enraged.

Hagrid hurriedly removed the dragon meat from his face, but then the bruises around his eyes were completely revealed, not to mention the fresh and coagulated blood on his face, "Oh, Gildero, don't be so impulsive. He said awkwardly.

"I'll come and see you next time. Umbridge interrupted Hagrid gloomily, then pushed the door open and left Hagrid's small house.

She walked out and slammed the door behind her.

Hagrid walked over to the window and pulled the curtain open more than an inch wide.

"She has returned to the castle," he whispered, "well, Gildero, why are you so impulsive, that you have provoked her. ”

"Yes," Harry said, pulling down his cloak, "Trelawney has been placed on probation. ”

"This stupid megalomaniac, powerful old witch!" Hermione cursed angrily.

"Don't worry, I'll write to the Minister of Magic, Hagrid will be fine. Lockhart was confident, "Hagrid, are you ready for class?" ”

"Hmph...... That's right, your relationship with the minister's family is so good~. Hermione said in a strange tone.

"Oh, don't worry, I've got a lot of lessons ready," Hagrid said enthusiastically, picking the dragon meat from the table and slapping it on the eye, "I've left two animals for your Intermediate Wizard Exam Year." Just wait and see, they're unusual. ”

"Uh...... What's unusual?" Hermione asked, uncertain.

"I won't say," said Hagrid, happily, "I'm going to wait to surprise you." ”

"Listen, Hagrid," Hermione said urgently, unpretentiously, "Umbridge won't be happy at all if you bring dangerous animals to class." ”

"Dangerous?" said Hagrid, looking completely confused, "don't be stupid, I'm not going to bring you anything dangerous! I mean, well, I'll admit they'll have to protect themselves--"

"Hagrid, you're going to have to get through Guò Umbridge's scrutiny anyway and make her happy. You've got to show us how to take care of Bubble Lock, how to tell the difference between a hedgehog and a hedgehog in general, that sort of thing!" Hermione said sincerely.

"Hagrid, please," Hermione said, her voice filled with desperate anxiety, "she ......"

"Don't worry, I'll take care of Umbridge. Lockhart winked at Hagrid.

"Then it's up to you, Gildero, I'm tired today, and it's so late," he said, patting Hermione lightly on the shoulder, but she couldn't hold it anymore and fell to the floor with a thud, "Ahh Now, let's go back to the castle at last!"

"Professor, what are you going to do with Umbridge?" Ron asked.

"The old rule, the Imperius Curse + Forget it is empty. Lockhart smiled.

"You can't do that!" Hermione said firmly, "you're going to be sent to Azkaban." ”

"Just kidding, thanks for the concern. Lockhart offered to make a gesture of favor to Hermione.

"Hmph. Hermione pulled Harry and Ron away at a faster pace.
