Chapter 538 Gloating over misfortune
"Oh? The Black family actually allowed..."
Umbridge led us on hopefully.
"Well... I only know that the other party is also a pure blood..."
Umbridge's face paled visibly.
"I didn't expect that the once famous man would change his role and become a stay-at-home dad..."
"Everyone has their own aspirations. When we first got the news, we were also extremely surprised."
I echoed.
"Let's not talk about him... Anyway, Sirius was also an excellent student at the top of the class. It's just that the other employees..."
She paused and looked into the distance, vaguely in the direction of the Forbidden Forest.
"Headmaster Dumbledore seems to be particularly concerned about wizards of non-human descent... When Hagrid was not yet the professor of Care of Magical Creatures, but just the guard of the Forbidden Forest, his height was beyond our understanding of humans."
Umbridge nodded approvingly.
In the original novel, she was eventually dragged by the centaurs into the depths of the Forbidden Forest.
When he came back, he seemed to have some mental problems.
She is extremely averse to anything that is beyond her control.
"Also, during the first Care of Magical Creatures class, Professor Hagrid demonstrated the Hippogriff Buckbeak, which scratched a Gryffindor. After that, nothing happened."
"Oh? This is a serious teaching accident! The teacher didn't receive any punishment?"
Umbridge showed interest.
"Yes! The Gryffindor student's name is Ron Weasley."
Umbridge became excited when Ron's name was mentioned.
"The Weasley family has always been protected by Dumbledore. Logically speaking, a teaching accident shouldn't have happened to Ron..."
"That only proves that Gryffindor's recklessness prevailed..." Draco and I looked at each other and smiled.
At that time, Draco's wonderful performance stimulated the red-haired boy, which led to a big mistake.
"I will find out. It is really fruitful to communicate with you."
Suddenly, Umbridge asked casually, "The Special Operations Investigation Team has become saturated recently. We still need to control it and increase the diversity of its members."
She meant something.
"Understood. I will follow your instructions."
Umbridge smiled smugly.
"Tell them that being a member of a team will give them extra points in the final exam of Defense Against the Dark Arts, as well as in their regular grades!"
Sure enough, the snake was hit at its most vulnerable point.
I finally understood why this plain-looking, even ugly woman could rise so quickly in the Ministry of Magic despite having no background at all.
She is very good at grasping the main contradiction.
Appeal to reason, appeal to their emotions, and lure them with benefits.
Just like in the book, within a year, Umbridge kicked Dumbledore out of the school.
But when it comes to uniting her colleagues, she does a really bad job.
Not to mention, most of the professors at Hogwarts, except for a few good-for-nothings and those with connections, are good at practical combat.
Coming out of Umbridge's office, "This temptation... I wonder if Hermione can stand the test?"
"Don't even mention it. The Gryffindors were almost getting into a fight with Umbridge during the Defense Against the Dark Arts class!"
"why?"
"Isn't that Umbridge's way of teaching? Just reading books, no practical exercises. Plus, compared to her cousin, her looks are really..."
Draco had a gloating expression on his face.
