Hogwarts: Harley from The Witch Way - Chapter 405

c389 I support all your decisions and hope you

Life in the new semester is much busier than Harry imagined. After all, she is already in fifth grade this year and will take part in the first major exam in the wizarding world.

During the ordinary wizard level examination and the ultimate wizard level examination, the course load for fifth and seventh grade students will increase significantly.

Seventh-year wizards are even better. After all, most professors will only accept students with O.W.L.S. grades of E and O in the sixth grade to enter their advanced classes. Professor Snape even only accepts students with O.W.L.S. grades.

Only professors such as Professor Trelawney and Hagrid, whose overall reputation is not good, would accept students with A grades into their advanced classes under forced circumstances to avoid the embarrassing situation of not being able to recruit people.

Hogwarts, under the leadership of Professor Dumbledore, has always implemented happy education, and the results of the vast majority of students who have been playing for five full years without studying are naturally unbearable.

The vast majority of students can only get five or six certificates, and a third of the certificates are just barely qualified and get an A.

Students like the Weasley twins, who can get good or even excellent grades in three subjects, would be regarded as absolutely good children in other wizarding families unless they were compared with their brothers who had relatively abnormal grades. .

Under this circumstance, most sixth-grade students will only choose three or four courses. Some members of pure-blood families will only take one or two courses, and they will complete the task by getting a diploma.

After all, if they can’t find a job, they have to go back and inherit the properties of Diagon Alley and Knockturn Alley.

Therefore, even if the course load increases significantly, this pressure is still acceptable for seventh grade students.

But for fifth-year students who have been struggling for a long time, if the course load is increased significantly when they have to take at least nine courses, it will simply kill many people.

Those fifth graders who usually stayed in the common room playing wizard chess or stacking exploding cards now began to spend time in the library in groups.

Harley originally thought that this had nothing to do with her, after all, she was not afraid of exams. Besides, even if there is no exam, does the Disaster Witch still need to find a job?

She thought that she only needed to attend classes, participate in Quidditch training, and occasionally manage the new students as a prefect. Unexpectedly, her real life was extremely fulfilling.

Even though the professors knew about Harry’s magical abilities and everyone except Professor Snape exempted her from homework, Harry still had to go to class at least.

In addition, Hermione still insisted on dragging Harry to spend time in the library even though she had already learned most of the school knowledge, so Harry did not have as much free time as expected.

With a rare break on the weekend, the Gryffindor Quidditch team began the selection of new players.

Gryffindor’s former Quidditch captain and keeper Wood has graduated, and now the team needs a new keeper.

However, Harry was not optimistic about the selection. After all, looking carefully, Gryffindor didn’t seem to have any good Quidditch talents.

The situation was just as she expected. The trial held on the second weekend was really disastrous.

Angelina first spent a lot of effort to persuade the first-year little lions and students from other colleges to leave, and then the selection was successfully launched.

The selection process is not about comparing skills to see who can guard more balls, but about who can play less poorly.

The selection rules are that the Gryffindor Quidditch team sends a chaser to throw fifteen balls at fixed points, and the participating students must stop the ball as much as possible.

In Harley’s opinion, this requirement could not be lower. After all, there is no pursuer on the playing field who can shoot at fixed spots.

But the facts prove that Angelina is right to arrange the selection in this way, because most students can miss more than half of these fixed-point shots.

When trying out some second- and third-grade little witches, Harley could even miss the simplest direct ball, which was missed by the goalkeeper. The goalkeeper screamed in surprise and applauded Harley desperately.

This made Harley feel very helpless. She was here to assist Angelina’s new players, not to hold a fan meeting!

Later, after participating in the selection, some little wizards even flew over on broomsticks and asked Harry if they could be selected.

The embarrassed Harry could only smile and said that the little wizards performed very well and were very talented Quidditch players, even future Quidditch stars, and he supported all their decisions.

At the same time, Harley gently suggested that they learn from the actions of some professional Quidditch players and bring their talents to Miami… ah, no, to the Quidditch teams of other colleges.

In the end, the Gryffindor Quidditch team could only choose a tall one among the short ones, and chose Ron. At least he stopped thirteen of Angelina’s fifteen spot-up attempts.

Although the process is extremely ugly, some balls are still caught with the face, but you can just say whether you caught it or not!

In fact, there is another Gryffindor with better skills, McLagen, but this McLagen has some brain problems. Before the selection, he made a bet with someone and ate a full kilogram of fox eggs, and then he was admitted to the campus hospital. inside.

With this kind of thinking, Angelina was afraid that he would have a brain cramp before an important game and end up in the school hospital, so she decided on Ron without thinking about it.

The Weasley twins were naturally very embarrassed that their brother was behaving so poorly. The two of them clapped their chests and promised that they would definitely train Ronte into a real Quidditch master.

Seeing this situation, Angelina felt somewhat comforted.

What if the special training of the Weasley twins pays off and they draw a gold card?

Even if they can’t train, at least Gryffindor still has high attack and low defense, and can trade points with the opponent.

In addition, other colleges have also graduated a group of old players, including the captains of Ravenclaw and Slytherin, so Gryffindor’s lineup looks much better.

…………

After lying in the school hospital for two weeks, Umbridge finally left there.

In fact, she had recovered a long time ago. Although the targeted potion provided by Madam Pomfrey was bitter, it worked quickly. It only took less than ten seconds to cure this special curse.

However, Umbridge felt that her performance was too embarrassing, and was afraid that the students would still remember her embarrassing appearance.

In order to save her little dignity, Umbridge shamelessly stayed in the small hospital for another week, until Madam Pomfrey became impatient and did not leave here.

Once she returned to work, she immediately changed her strategy.

The regular teachers at Hogwarts are not easy to mess with at first sight. After all, the former Potions professor is so good at fighting, and the professor of the Charms and Transfiguration classes must be even more capable.

The current potions professor, Slughorn, was his original dean. More importantly, he had many students and acquaintances in the Ministry of Magic, and he must not be messed with.

Professor Sprout of Herbology was aloof from the world at first glance, and the little badgers of Hogwarts were always harmless to humans and animals, so he was ignored by Umbridge early on.

So Umbridge chose to focus on the elective course professor, so that the tasks from both the old and new masters could be attempted together.

Starting from the third week, Umbridge frequently appeared in the classrooms of those five elective courses.

Among them, in the ancient runes class, Umbridge only showed up once and was driven away.

As soon as she appeared at the door of the classroom that day, she suddenly remembered something urgent and left in a hurry. Since then, she has never been to this classroom again.

The students in class were puzzled, while Harley marveled at Professor Barbling’s exquisite use of spiritual magic.

It seems that this old vampire didn’t just spend his time at Hogwarts whoring the school board’s gold galleons and drinking free dragon blood.

Her comprehensive strength is definitely comparable to that of a blood count at the fourth demigod level, that is, the Witch King of the Moon Path.

The professors of the remaining four elective courses did not have this kind of strength, so naturally they could only accept Umbridge’s review.

In the divination class in the third week, as soon as Harry entered the divination class room, she felt that something was not right about the atmosphere in the classroom.

Under normal circumstances, the classroom before class is always dimly lit, the curtains are tightly closed, and only a few candles burn slowly.

Professor Trelawney would hide in a corner of the classroom. Of course, this corner in most cases refers to her comfy recliner.

Regarding this kind of performance, Professor Trelawney always claimed that he was actually traveling in the sky, opening his third eye, and using his “spirituality” to collide with those prophetic dreams, thereby obtaining prophecies and divination of bad luck.

The dark environment is to allow her soul to connect with the soul world as much as possible, and the reason for lying there is because she wants to keep her body as far away from the floor of the material world as possible to avoid tarnishing the purity of the third eye.

But except for some die-hard Professor Trelawney fans, everyone agrees that Professor Trelawney is just sleeping.

After all, you are already snoring. If you say that you don’t snore when the students call you… it’s not convincing no matter how you think about it, right?

But today, Professor Trelawney stood on the floor of the material world for the first time, even walking around from time to time, with an expression on his face as if he was constipated.

The emerald and agate necklaces around her neck and wrists collided continuously, making the sound of pebbles.

The curtains had already been opened, and the afternoon sunlight shone in, dispersing the dampness called “spiritual perception” in the room.

Harry was still surprised by Professor Trelawney’s abnormal behavior when she was poked in the side by Susan who had climbed up to the attic together.

Oh, it turns out that Umbridge is sitting at the table at the back and listening to the lecture, so that’s okay.

Harry blinked and strode over, deliberately choosing to sit very close to Umbridge.

When she looked up and saw Harry sitting next to her, Umbridge was a little surprised, but she still chose to show a shy and friendly smile.

This made it really hard for Susan, who walked over with Harry, to bear it, but she still couldn’t let go of Harry, who had the strongest thigh in the class, so she could only sit down reluctantly and try not to look at Umbridge as much as possible. .

“Good afternoon, Ms. Umbridge.” Harry did not deliberately avoid it, and even took the initiative to greet her.

Although she has a standard facial expression, Harley is used to seeing strange and extraordinary creatures, so she can still look kind despite the ugliness of the toad.

“Good afternoon, Miss Potter.”

Umbridge was obviously very surprised that Harry greeted her, but the smile on her face became sweeter.

Seeing that Umbridge was hiding her eyes very well, Harry’s lips turned up slightly, revealing a devilish smile.

“Ms. Umbridge, there are still a few minutes until class starts. Can I ask you some questions?”

“Huh? Well…of course.”

The smile on Harley’s lips grew wider,

“Ms. Umbridge, what do you think of the recent newspapers in the wizarding world? Can you express your opinion as the Senior Undersecretary of the Ministry of Magic?”

Harry deliberately emphasized the word “Senior Under-Minister of Magic” with a look of curiosity on his face.

The smile on Umbridge’s face suddenly froze, and she almost cursed.

What do you think? I read***! Are you deliberately looking for trouble?

In recent times, the traffic of “Daily Prophet” has been reaching its peak.

First, Rita relied on her exclusive interview rights with Harry to write “100 Little Details You Didn’t Know About Harry Potter’s Killing of Voldemort” and “One Person Passed the International Wizarding Duel Competition—Why Harry… Potter is God” and many other series of articles, which were serialized in newspapers.

Although there were some parts where Harry himself didn’t know how delicate his operation was at the time, it didn’t stop Rita from advocating wildly.

Although other reporters were not able to capture the biggest wave of traffic, the struggle within the magic world was also exciting.

The Wizengamot recently launched the second impeachment of Fudge, and this time, the pure-blood families were much less protective of him.

It is expected that around Easter, Fudge may completely step down.

Naturally, reporters would not let go of such big news and once again set off a partition feast in newspapers.

With the public opinion in this newspaper, what should Umbridge, a well-known Fudge party think?

She had already embraced the new thigh, but the reputation of the new thigh was too bad to be mentioned, so Umbridge could not abandon Fudge yet.

Isn’t Harley’s problem now just to make her look ugly?

“Well, Miss Potter, I don’t have any particular opinions on the recent newspapers.” Umbridge organized her words,

“Well…just…I think…ahem…”

The timely ringing of the school bell cured Umbridge of her constant coughing. She quickly sat up straight and was about to speak when she realized that Harry had turned her head.
