Harry Potter and the Secret Treasures

Chapter 915: Interference and Directions of the Ministry of Magic

Speaking of which, Professor Umbridge paused and bowed slightly to the other teachers, none of whom gave her a gift.

Professor McGonagall's two black eyebrows tightly tied together to make her look like an eagle.

Professor McGonagall and Professor Sprout exchanged a far-reaching look as Umbridge turned around and continued his speech.

“Successive Hogwarts principals are perfectly worthy of innovation as they assume the responsibility of managing this historic school, because without progress they will stagnate and fail. At the same time, however, progress for progress should never be encouraged, and our traditions have been refined with a thousand hammers and often do not need to be badly modified. To strike a balance between old and new, between perpetuity and change, between tradition and innovation. ”

Umbridge went on and on, probably as a report on the work of the Ministry of Magic.

Ivan quickly lost consciousness and set aside those pointless words. There was only one thing she wanted to convey, which was that the Ministry of Magic was very dissatisfied with Hogwarts' current state of operation and was prepared to intervene in Hogwarts' operation.

He knew this a long time ago and naturally had no interest in hearing her go on.

The little wizards had never seen such a scene and were not interested in hearing her chatter here.

Everyone's attention gradually faded away, unable to keep up with Umbridge's thinking, Dumbledore spoke quietly four times, and now the classmates are all at the same time listening, whispering, giggling, the auditorium is noisy.

On Ivan's left, Kate held her chin with her hand, but her head kept slipping down; on Ravenclaw's table next to her, Autumn was happily chatting with friends, and Luna, who was sitting next to her, pulled out the song opposite.

At the same time, Ernie McMillan was one of the few students who still stared at Professor Umbridge on Hecky Patch's desk, but his gaze was stagnant and he was sure he was just pretending to listen carefully in order to live up to the brand new, shiny superior badge on his chest.

Astoria is talking to a girl on the Slytherin table on the other side of the auditorium.

She was Astoria's sister, Daphne Greengrass, in addition to a brother who was a Slytherin seventh grade student.

From the podium, Umbridge did not seem to notice the disturbance of the audience.

She blinded herself to everything below and continued her speech with her goosebumps.

She gave the impression that even if there was a massive riot underneath her nose, she wouldn't care.

However, every teacher listens very carefully and Dumbledore stares at Umbridge.

On Ivan's right, Hermione also listened to every word Umbridge said, but from the look on her face, she didn't like it.

“Because some changes have had a good effect, while others, when appropriate, are found to be a mistake in decision-making. At the same time, some old habits will be preserved, which is irreplaceable, while others must be abandoned when they are obsolete. Let us continue to move forward into an enlightened, efficient and sensible new era, resolutely maintaining what should be maintained, perfecting what needs to be perfected and abandoning what we should prohibit. ”

Half an hour later, Umbridge finally sat down and Dumbledore began clapping, as did the other teachers.

However, few responses were received below, with several students clapping subconsciously, but most students missed only two or three sentences, not realizing that the speech was over.

Dumbledore stood up before they started clapping.

“Thank you very much, Professor Umbridge, for your very enlightening statement.” He said, owed her, “Well, as I was saying, the Quiddich team will be selected...”

“Yeah, it's really inspiring.” Hermione whispered.

“Didn't you say you heard something?” Ron whispered, his stubborn face turned to Hermione, "which is probably the most boring speech I've ever heard, and I grew up next to Percy. ”

“I'm talking about enlightenment, not fun," Hermione said. “It explains a lot of things. ”

“Really?” Ron blurted, "Sounds like a lot of crap. Right, Harry, do you think I could sign up for the Quiddich team? ”

Speaking of Quiddich, he suddenly came to the spirit.

“Sure, if you could come, that would be great!” Harry said, and followed him, "Wood's gone, we need a new goalkeeper, and I don't know who it is yet, Captain. I'll check with you tomorrow. ”

First year freshmen looked at them visionarily, and compared to Umbridge speaking, everyone was interested in Quidditch.

As the most popular sport in magic, Quidditch is more popular than ever imagined.

A lot of little wizards from Muggles entered the magic world, and the first thing they knew was Quidditch.

Everyone seems to want to join the Quiddich team, and Ron is unlikely to be selected if there is an open and fair selection.

It's not that he doesn't fly well enough, it's that he's too unstable to show strength at all...

“Listen to her. Progress for progress should never be encouraged, and the Ministry of Magic is interfering with Hogwarts, which we should prohibit.” Hermione turned around and said to Ivan, ignoring them both.

“As originally anticipated, Fuji wants to address us from within.” Be careful with this woman, "Ivan said." She's not easy. ”

Umbridge stands for the Ministry of Magic, and Hogwarts cannot disobey the Ministry's orders until it is completely broken.

Hermione wanted to say something else, but there was a collision of table and chair benches.

Obviously, Dumbledore has announced the dissolution of the entire school because everyone is ready to leave the auditorium.

Hermione jumped up and looked panicked.

“Evan, we should be guiding freshmen to the first year!” She said hastily, "Ron, hurry up! ”

“I almost forgot!” Ron shouted loudly, "Hey, you guys! Little ones! ”

“Ron! ”

“Cough, they are, they are so small...”

“That doesn't mean they're called Little Dots, freshmen in first grade!” Hermione shouted solemnly at the table, "This way, please! ”

“Come on, it's time to take you back to the public lounge and bedroom.” Ivan said, standing up with Kate.

A group of freshmen came shy from the aisle between the Gryffindor and Ravenclaw tables, each shrinking as far back as possible and afraid to come forward.

They looked at Ivan, Harry, Ron and Hermione with flashing eyes.

The number of freshmen at this session is higher than usual, and they do look very small and extraordinarily young.

“There are so many people, don't these guys know to give way to the freshmen?” Hermione said with dissatisfaction.

The crowd is blocking the door because Umbridge was delayed too long ago and everyone wants to hurry back now.

Compared to the strong senior students, the small dots around the elders do not dominate at all.

“Don't worry, I'll take care of it!” Ivan said he took out the wand.
