Chapter 432

Umbridge's Defense Against the Dark Arts class quickly replaced Professor Binns's History of Magic as the most boring course for students. After all, in the history of magic you can sleep or write homework for other subjects, but in Umbridge's class you can't do that. Older students have already tried it, and a Gryffindor girl was deducted 50 points for trying to complete Snape's essay in Umbridge's class, and was locked up for confronting the professor.

That is, there are only two things you can do in Umbridge's class: read and breathe. Any content that is not related to Defence Against the Dark Arts is prohibited and will be punished if violated.

As you can imagine, the students sighed on the way to the Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom, sitting there silently, reading and copying the textbooks - if Defence Against the Dark Arts was taught like that, the pedgled would have been a professor on the podium.

Again, after saying "Hello, Professor Umbridge" in unison, students were asked to continue reading the textbook and copying specific passages as required on the blackboard.

It's extremely boring - that's the atmosphere of Umbridge's classes.

Solim didn't care, he read "Defense of Magic Theory" very seriously, the cover was still the same cover, but the contents had already become the magic materials given to him by Professor Flitwick. He also writes and draws on parchment, but that is to test the theories and results.

From the podium where Umbridge was standing, Solim was a serious student copying textbooks—a student who had an entire classroom and was not at all conspicuous.

If anyone had read all of "The Theory of Magical Defence", it would be Hermione, and Solim didn't bother to read such low-level pure theory books. Although Solim had stopped Hermione in the previous lesson and had warned him afterwards, as a Gryffindor student, Hermione couldn't stand this kind of teaching.

Although Quirrell was possessed by Voldemort and stumbled in his speech, he could still learn if he listened carefully. Lockhart, a sophomore ...... Well, if you look at it from a certain angle, you can learn something. But Umbridge, a professor who didn't say a word in an entire class except for announcing the start and end of class, was really the first time that Hermione, who had been at Hogwarts for five years, had met her.

Hermione can't take it anymore, even if you're from the Death Eaters' side?What else can you do to us students in Hogwarts in Dumbledore? Isn't it just confinement? I, Hermione, have never been confined before, I'm going to try it today.

Something had to be done - that was Hermione's idea, Solim had told her not to provoke Umbridge, but Hermione was not reconciled, she felt that she was not doing it for herself, but for the sake of the students at Hogwarts. Umbridge was wasting their precious time, which was why Hermione was ready to confront Umbridge even after Solim's warning.

In light of Umbridge's blindness last time, Hermione decided to be direct.

When she saw Hermione's raised arm, Umbridge did it again, and she looked away, deliberately not looking at Hermione. When she saw Umbridge like this again, Hermione spoke up, "Professor Umbridge." "

Hermione's voice suddenly sounded in the quiet classroom, waking up many of the students who were deserting, and they instantly came to their senses.

"What's wrong, dear?" Umbridge couldn't continue to pretend to be deaf and dumb in this case, "Do you have any questions about this chapter?"

"No, not about the content of this chapter. Hermione said.

"Oh, we're reading now," Professor Umbridge said, baring his small, pointed teeth, "and if you have any other questions, we'll talk about it when class is over." "

"I have a question about your course objectives. Hermione said.

Umbridge raised an eyebrow, and her eyes changed.

"What's your name?"

"Hermione, Hermione. Granger. "

"Well, Miss Granger, I think the course objectives are very clearly written, as long as you read them carefully from beginning to end. Professor Umbridge said in an unwavering tone.

"Then the third rule: evaluate the defensive technique in the context of practical use. Hermione pointed to the blackboard and said, "When can we use our defenses in a 'practical context'?"

There was a brief silence, and many students in the class craned their necks to look carefully at the three lesson objectives still written on the blackboard:

l. Understand the basic principles of Magical Defence.

2. Learn to identify occasions where you can legitimately use Magic Defence.

3. Evaluate the Magical Defence in the context of practical use.

"Using defensive spells?" Professor Umbridge repeated with a chuckle, "Gee, I can't imagine a situation in my class that would require you to use defensive spells, Miss Granger. We're in the classroom, it's not a 'practical context,' is that clear enough for me to explain?"

"Can't we use spells?" Ron shouted. Although there was a lot of unhappiness between Ron and Hermione, they were still on the same side when it came to dealing with Umbridge.

"In my class, students who want to speak must raise their hands first, which house are you from? What is it called?"

"Weasley of Gryffindor. "

"Good. Umbridge laughed, "Gryffindor deducts 10 points - for speaking freely without my permission." "

Umbridge would be a bit wishful thinking if he wanted to use the deduction of points against Gryffindor students, and Gryffindor students who had been tortured by Snape had long since cared less about the scores in class. You can dunk whatever you want, and we can get it back on the pitch anyway.

Half-faced Umbridge's face changed slightly as half of the students in the classroom raised their hands, and then turned to look at Hermione.

"What, Miss Granger?

"Yes. Hermione lowered her arm, "Professor, you mean to say that we can't use any spells in your class, is that correct?"

"Of course. Umbridge said in her sweet falsetto, "Why are you so interested in the question of whether you can use spells in my class?

Hermione couldn't help but glance out of the corner of her eye at Solim, who was bowing his head in the corner of the classroom.

Hehe, you don't know about the attack that happened in your classroom last class, right?

But Hermione certainly couldn't say that.
