I really didn't want to practice immortality at Hogwarts

Chapter 86 The new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher

It was not yet noon, a little after 10:30 in the morning to be precise, when the Hogwarts bell suddenly rang, and then, almost all the teachers and students rushed to the Great Hall.

Harry took the lead, followed by Zhang Chun and Ron. The three of them ran panting to the square in front of the auditorium.

In fact, Zhang Chun was always on tenterhooks along the way. In his image, there was a sudden "ringing of bells", which was usually a warning signal, similar to "The Demon Cult has invaded the Zhenwu Hall".

But I just don’t know if Professor Dumbledore is Zhang Sanfeng who can take charge of everything.

Of course, Harry was more anxious. He had nothing to say about his feelings for Dumbledore, and he still suspected that Voldemort would come back soon.

But fortunately, when they walked to the front of the auditorium, they found that almost all the students had the same curious and confused expressions as they did. The professors from various colleges standing in front of the auditorium also had normal expressions, and it didn't look like something unexpected had happened. .

The three of them stopped and took a deep breath before following the dark crowd of classmates into the auditorium.

Although it was daytime, the transparent ceiling was still dark - as if the person decorating the ceiling of the auditorium today was indeed not in a good mood. Countless candles were suspended in the air, blinking like stars.

Transparent ghosts shuttled back and forth above, and they had just received the message and all came to the auditorium.

The auditorium was filled with four long college tables, just like the usual opening dinner and sorting ceremony.The students who arrived early were whispering at the dining table and asking each other why the principal called all teachers and students here for a meeting.

As soon as Zhang Chun entered the door, he saw Dumbledore sitting on his golden high-backed chair at the faculty dining table, wearing a dark purple robe studded with silver stars and a matching hat. He closed his eyes and looked like It's like closing your eyes and resting your mind.

It's good that Dumbledore is fine.

Looking back, in addition to the four professors from the college who were greeting the students to take their seats, all the other professors were also there - Hagrid had just sat down, his face flushed.

Several other professors also had puzzled expressions on their faces, but they were more reserved than the students. At this moment, they were all quietly waiting for the students to take their seats.

etc!There are differences...

There was a strange witch sitting among the teachers.

This witch is short and fat, with short curly ash-brown hair and a very ugly big pink bow on it, which is particularly similar to the fluffy pink cardigan she wears outside her robe. A perfect match.

Like an old girl who can't get married--'s aunt!

It looks like a toad.

"Who is this? The teacher of which class?" Zhang Chun pointed at the very conspicuous witch.

"Never seen it before!" Harry and Ron also noticed her.

While the three of them were wondering, Hermione quickly squeezed in and said to the three of them, "The last time Hogwarts rang the bell to call all teachers and students for a meeting was when the goblins rebelled... What happened? Already?"

Harry, Zhang Chun and Ron all shrugged and then tilted their heads.

Hermione:  …

The students were sitting at the table and chattering away. Zhang Chun and the others also sat down.

"What happened?"

"I do not know!"

"Goblin rebellion?"

"A fire dragon was discovered at Hogwarts?"

"The Triwizard Tournament is going to start early?"

...The students sat together and guessed everything.

When almost everyone was in place, the roaring sound like some kind of migrating birds that hung over the students of the four colleges was not over yet...

"Quiet! Everyone, please be quiet!" Professor McGonagall frowned and glanced around the auditorium.

The ghosts of each college also put their index fingers to their lips to signal to the students that it was time to quiet down.

At this time, the students shut their mouths and focused their attention on the faculty and Professor Dumbledore.

Dumbledore suddenly opened his eyes, and a kind of fatigue seemed to disappear suddenly for a moment. He stood up and walked to the lecture table, regaining his former kind and gentle smile.

"I'm sorry to disturb your rest day. In fact, I think it is very inhumane to call everyone here on Sunday. To express my apology, I have notified the kitchen to prepare a sumptuous meal for you. Come Make up for my mistakes."

Dumbledore smiled and looked at the students below, and everyone looked at him in concentration.

Everyone knows that the so-called feast is not the point.

"Let everyone gather here. I have a few urgent things to announce. It's very urgent. The first one is that our Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, Professor Moody, is going to step down..."

As soon as he said this, the auditorium was about to explode with a bang!

The students couldn't believe what they were hearing...

Professor Moody, the former Auror, is almost the best Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher in recent years - he has only taught them for a week and is about to step down? ?

Zhang Chun quickly focused his attention on Professor Moody. He looked calm at the moment, as if he was not surprised, but his magic eye was still staring at Dumbledore.

The principal seemed to have anticipated everyone's reaction. After the noisy discussion slowly subsided, he continued, "Professor Umbridge, personally appointed by the Ministry of Magic, will be your new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher! Everyone is welcome. "

There was a round of purely polite applause in the auditorium, but there was no enthusiasm at all.

Zhang Chun and his three companions looked at each other and read a lot of "unspoken" expressions in each other's eyes.

Zhang Chun felt surprised at the same time, but also felt that it was natural.

What surprised Umbridge - the witch who was supposed to appear in Harry's fifth year - appeared a year early and still became the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. This was simply incomprehensible. He now knew, What impact will the wings of this time-traveling butterfly have? The entire timeline is changing!

Of course - after yesterday's undead attack in Hogsmeade, and the subsequent use of his position by the Minister of Magic to cover up the truth and cast the "Forgetting Curse" on them, the Ministry of Magic and Minister Fudge did not extend their arms in advance. It's weird to be at Hogwarts.

As Fudge's loyal subordinate, Umbridge naturally became the Ministry of Magic's most capable person in controlling Hogwarts just like in the original timeline.

"Professor Moody will—" Dumbledore was about to continue speaking, but Professor Umbridge had already stood up.

"Cough, cough." He cleared his throat loudly.

She wanted to give a speech herself.

Dumbledore smiled politely, stretched out his hand in a friendly manner, motioning Professor Umbridge to come to the podium, and then sat back on the high-backed chair.

All the teachers looked at Umbridge in surprise. Professor Sprout's eyebrows shot up to his forehead, and Professor McGonagall's lips pursed tightly.

Umbridge moved her short feet behind the podium and pretended to bow like Dumbledore.

"Thank you, principal, for your warm speech."

Her voice was shrill and high, with a pinched voice that she pretended to sound like a little baby's.She looked at the students below again, adjusted her pink cardigan sweater, opened her mouth and looked at the students with a smile on her face,

"Well, it's great to be back at Hogwarts!" Professor Umbridge showed her fangs. "It's great to look at your cheerful little faces full of sunshine."

"...Does she think of us as five-year-old children?" Ron said in surprise.

Zhang Chun said nothing, and the classmates next to him were all whispering about what medicine the new teacher had taken wrongly...

Umbridge said seriously, "The Ministry of Magic has always believed that training young wizards is a very important task. Some of your innate talents must be correctly guided and cultivated, otherwise it will be dangerous and terrifying. The various precious skills that have existed in the magical world from ancient times must be passed down from generation to generation, otherwise they may disappear. The precious treasure trove of magical knowledge accumulated by our ancestors must be educated and taught by those engaged in the noble profession of education and inheritance. Complete……"

Everyone looked at each other, wondering what she wanted to say.

The teachers tried their best not to roll their eyes, and Zhang Chun saw Professor McGonagall and Professor Sprout exchange meaningful glances.

"The successive principals of Hogwarts have all made innovations when shouldering the important task of establishing this historic school. This is completely appropriate, because if there is no progress, it will stagnate and decline. But if progress is made for the sake of progress, Innovation should be completely avoided..."

Umbridge began to ramble.

The students began to sit still, feeling as if the new Magic Defense teacher's speech was putting lice on the back of their necks.
