Chapter 224 Dolores Umbridge
The Hogwarts Express is getting a makeover.
The two double seats in the original box have been converted into three seats, so that more people can be accommodated.
In the carriage where the two Lumi's were, in addition to the idiot couple who were arguing again, there were also the superior and his girlfriend Qiu.
Three boys were sitting in a row, opposite their respective girlfriends.
The couple, Cedric, had repaired the relationship between Draco and Draco, something Lumi was too lazy to do now.
The two of them would get into trouble every once in a while because of something, and both Lumi and Luna were used to it.
The six of them mingled together, and soon Cedric and Qiu were going to follow the student council president to investigate people.
This is also one of the responsibilities that prefects need to perform.
After they left, Lumi had a sudden idea.
"Do you think we will become prefects after Cedric and Cho Chang graduate?"
This statement aroused the interest of the three people.
Luna immediately said: "When we become prefects, we will rule Hogwarts in disguise."
"How could that be? Don't forget there are four prefects and two student council presidents."
Hermione retorted.
"But I think this idea is quite interesting. Then the four of us will occupy half of Hogwarts!"
Draco laughed.
Lumi also started joking and stopped the passing dining car. With a wave of his hand, he said proudly: "Whatever you want to eat, I'll treat you to it!"
"Oh..."
Draco responded very perfunctorily, then turned around and took his favorite snack in his hand.
The four of them were eating snacks and chatting.
Seeing Draco like this, Lumi was quite happy.
After Voldemort was resurrected last year, Lucius did not respond to his call, and he turned to seek asylum from Ruf.
That same day, Ruf took Lucius to find Voldemort, told him that the Malfoy family would be Lumi's friends from now on, and gave him a warning.
He even almost took action because of this.
However, Voldemort felt that his magic power was suddenly exhausted when he used the Death Curse. This made him confused and eager to find the reason, so he avoided a battle.
Afterwards, Ruf removed the dark mark from Lucius's arm in front of Voldemort.
Voldemort seemed to be very angry after that, but this had nothing to do with Lumi.
At this time, what Lumi was thinking was: [In this way, he won't be called a Death Eater, right? 】
[Draco, I almost ruined my plan because of you. 】
At some point, Merlin discovered that the blue tight trousers on his legs paired with the golden Chelsea had a different kind of beauty. From then on, he fell in love with this combination.
Just when he was changing into red pants, the red and black Hogwarts Express had been parked at Hogsmeade Station for a while, and the students it originally contained were already sitting in the auditorium.
Lumi saw the very conspicuous woman on the professor's chair at a glance.
She was dressed in pink, wearing a pink hat and an exaggerated smile.
Lumi remembered this smile. On the day of the hearing, this was the person who promised himself that dementors would not attack the little wizard.
If Lumi didn’t know the truth, he would really believe it.
Voldemort did send some dementors out that day, but the two who attacked Harry were sent by this guy. This was only discovered after Lumi had someone carefully check the Ministry of Magic's orders.
But this is a trivial matter and not a big problem.
Principal McGonagall spoke on the podium: "Let us welcome the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor - Professor Dolores Umbridge."
"New little wizards, I need you to remember that you are not allowed to approach the Forbidden Forest, and magic is not allowed in the corridors. You must remember the school rules."
Principal McGonagall was talking about some rules that had been mentioned in previous years, but Umbridge coughed and interrupted her.
This made Principal McGonagall very unhappy. She glared at Umbridge, but the identity of the other party's Deputy Minister of Magic was something she was concerned about.
"What is it? Professor Umbridge?"
Principal McGonagall suppressed her anger and asked as calmly as possible.
Umbridge stood up from her seat with a smile and walked to the podium with small steps.
She spoke passionately about the Ministry's thoughts on Hogwarts.
"The Ministry of Magic has always attached great importance to the education of young wizards and wizards."
“While successive principals have dedicated their lives to change at this historic school, progress purely for the sake of progress is not encouraged.”
"What should be retained, we should retain it. To perfect all the things that should be perfected, we must abolish those things that should be banned."
After saying that, she showed what she thought was a bright smile.
This made a small group of people realize that the Ministry of Magic was beginning to interfere in Hogwarts.
Lumi knew that this pink woman was going to cause trouble.
But he didn't care.
The opponent is Fudge's gun, which has only one purpose, and that is to use Umbridge to test Lumi, or Hogwarts's bottom line.
Perhaps he naively thought that he could do more if he knew the bottom line.
But Lumi would tell him that as long as he dared to touch his bottom line, he would break the gun that Fudge stretched out.
Not everyone is qualified to touch their bottom line.
With Umbridge's remarks, the atmosphere in the Hufflepuff lounge was much lower than in previous years.
But when Lumi took out Reed's new dessert, the Badgers' mood returned.
In this year's class schedule, students from Gryffindor and Slytherin schools will have priority to experience Defense Against the Dark Arts classes.
Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw give priority to learning spells in the upper grades.
Regardless of the class, Umbridge and Flitwick both mentioned it.
That is the Ordinary Wizarding Level Examinations, or O.W.L.s for short.
This exam is very important. When young wizards are looking for jobs after graduation, their O.W.L.s and seventh-grade NEWTs exam scores are the key points to add or subtract during the interview.
The O.W.L.s exam mainly tests theoretical knowledge, while NEWTs tests practical operations.
Fifth grade students are required to take this exam and must obtain an E (good) or above on the exam to continue in the course.
The test scores are: O (excellent) E (good) A (pass) P (fail) D (poor) and T (very poor)
This kind of thing is a nightmare for ordinary little wizards.
But for a top student like Lumi, who always ranks first on the score list, this is just a more formal exam.
What's more, he doesn't need to find a job.
So Lumi's mentality is probably the best among this group of students.
Not nervous at all.
In this state, Lumi's knowledge is gradually increasing.
But today seems a little uneven.
Headmistress McGonagall was arguing with Umbridge in the corridor.
The reason was that Harry was detained by Umbridge and was physically punished by her.
It was at this time that Lumi noticed that there was a line of scars on the back of Harry's hand not far away, which could form a sentence.
"I can't lie."
This made Lumi frown directly.
When Lumi and Luna went to feed the Thestrals at the edge of the Forbidden Forest that day, he cast protective magic on Luna.
Although it takes a lot of magic power to maintain magic over long distances every day, Lumi feels that it is worth it.
