Raven's Claw at Hogwarts
Chapter 360 Umbridge's Favoritism
Chapter 360 Umbridge's Favoritism
"What's going on over there?"
Mike pointed to a large group of people going.
"Oh, it looks like it is," Franklin tiptoed and tried his best to look towards the center of the crowd, "it's Ron, he seems to be telling some story again!"
Hearing this, Mike's face suddenly became clear.
I don't know when it started, but whenever something interesting happened at Hogwarts, Ron would first go to understand the details of the incident, and then tell others about it affectionately.
The long-term performance and telling has made Ron's ability to tell stories stronger and stronger, and has also allowed him to accumulate a large number of fans.
Nowadays, as long as Ron waved his arms in a public place such as the auditorium or the lounge, a large number of passers-by would gather around him in an instant.
"Let's go have a look."
Looking at Ron, who was standing on a long table in the crowd and talking excitedly, Mike said to Franklin.
"Okay, you just need to be more detailed in the outline you will give me later."
Mike readily agreed, and when the two of them got closer, they heard Ron dancing and saying:
"... Umbridge made Trelawney her first target of inspection, and her arrival clearly made Trelawney very nervous!"
Ron twisted his body, imitating Divination professor Trelawney's usual appearance, raised his hands in the air strangely, and said with a drunken expression on his face:
"Students, we will continue to study predictive dreams today. Please divide into pairs and interpret each other's recent dreams with the help of the "Dream Interpretation Guide."
Ron's voice had a mysterious feeling, but it was slightly trembling.
This trembling seemed to come from his bones, and even his hands were trembling.
This subtle performance immediately ushered in a burst of laughter from the onlookers, and Ron became even more excited when he saw this.
"Professor Trelawney, I would like to take this opportunity to ask you a few questions."
Ron's expression became extremely arrogant. He held one hand empty, and the other was holding a pen and drawing back and forth in the void, as if he was memorizing something.
"So, how long have you been in this position, exactly?"
Ron switched to Trelawney's state again, folded his hands on his chest, stared angrily at the front and tremblingly said:
"Almost 16 years."
"It's not short time." Ron put on Umbridge's expression again, "So Professor Dumbledore hired you?"
"That's right!"
"Are you the great-great-granddaughter of the famous prophet Cassandra Trelawney?"
"Yes!"
Trelawney, played by Ron, raised her head higher, pointing her nostrils at Umbridge who didn't exist in front of her.
"But I heard that since Cassandra passed away, members of your family no longer have this ability to predict." Umbridge, played by Ron, deftly made a puzzled and sarcastic expression, " In addition, I learned that you are still a mixed blood, that is to say, you mastered this ability when the blood of your ancestors was diluted, but your pure blood ancestors did not master the ability, is that true?"
"These things are often passed down from one generation to the next—er—three generations!"
'Trelawney' danced angrily, but her tone became a little flustered.
"Of course," Ron pretended to write down a few notes in the non-existent notebook, and then said with a smile on his face, "then I don't know if you can predict something for me, huh?"
"I don't understand you!"
"I want you to make a prophecy for me. Is that clear enough?"
"The Celestial Eye will not be ordered to see!"
'Trelawney' tone became unusually indignant.
And 'Umbridge' raised his eyebrows, and while writing something in the notebook, he said in an extremely frivolous tone:
"Oh, I see!"
"I—but—but...wait a minute!" Trelawney, played by Ron, stretched her neck forward, as if peeking at the contents of the 'notebook', and then trembled with anger , can no longer maintain that illusory and mysterious tone.
In a hurry, he began to roll his eyes vigorously, and waved his hands irregularly, "I...I think I saw something...it was about you...ah, I felt it, something black... Something extremely dangerous..."
All of a sudden, Ron's eyes that had been rolled back with only the whites of his eyes suddenly returned to normal. He stretched out his hand and pointed to a deserted corner, shouting as if Umbridge was there now:
"I'm afraid you're in terrible danger!"
Ron hurriedly ran to the corner he pointed at before, pretended to be Umbridge and raised his eyebrows mischievously, and then drew a big X in the air with his right hand.
"Well," said Ron, making a motion to close the book, "I'm sorry if that's the best you can do."
After saying that, Ron bowed deeply to the onlookers, and there was a burst of applause from the crowd immediately, but Mike found that in the corner of the auditorium, several Slytherin students were whispering and leaving the auditorium.
And the direction they left seemed to be leading to Umbridge's office.
Raising his eyebrows, Mike felt that Ron might be in trouble.
But at this moment, a familiar voice sounded beside Mike and Franklin.
"Mike, Franklin! Why are you here!" Ron asked excitedly, "How is it going? How was my performance just now?"
Seeing Ron's happy look, Mike felt that it was not a good thing to tell Ron the news now, so he applauded decisively:
"Great, you are simply better than those professional drama actors in Diagon Alley! And your ability to tell stories is also very good, maybe you should engage in related work in the future, such as writing novels like Lockhart! I Dare to say, your achievements will definitely be higher than his!"
"Really!?"
Ron said in surprise. To be honest, Ron is actually very envious of Lockhart. Not only can he live a wealthy life, but he also has a lot of female fans.
But thinking of Lockhart's bad reputation, in order not to get involved with him, Ron quickly changed his expression, and said with a smile:
"Forget it, I don't want to be a scum like Lockhart!"
"Okay," Mike shook his head, "Did you just perform Umbridge and Trelawney?"
"Oh! Yes. You must have missed the beginning. Just now, in our Divination class, Umbridge censored Professor Trelawney. That scene was so funny. Do you still want to watch it? I can do it again if I want to see it!"
"Uh, no need, Ron, thank you."
Mike said helplessly, but he kept thinking about Trelawney's information in his mind.
This divination professor is a descendant of the legendary prophet Cassandra, but investigations show that this professor did not fully inherit the divination ability of her ancestors, so the first half of her life was very miserable, and it has been echoing on the poverty line. He can only make a living by divination for people on the street.
However, she was invited by Dumbledore to become the professor of divination at Hogwarts.
But her financial situation has not improved much.
Part of the reason is that the salary Hogwarts gave her was not high, which was at the level of food and housing and some pocket money.
And another part of the reason is because this person is an alcoholic. She basically drinks every day except for class, which makes her look drunk all the time.
Of course, in her words, she doesn't like drinking, but relies on alcohol to maintain her Celestial Eye ability.
On the whole, this is an extremely weak professor. Compared with Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick, she has neither a deep background nor strong strength. She is a soft persimmon that is easy to pinch.
It has to be said that Umbridge's choice to use her for surgery is indeed a good choice.
And now it depends on how McGonagall and the others will face this wave of Umbridge's offensive.
In the end is desperate resistance, or turn a blind eye?
Mike was very curious about this.
……
After a brief chat with Ron in the auditorium, the three of them went to the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom together, and then they will take Umbridge's Defense Against the Dark Arts together.
Due to the delay in the auditorium, the three of Mike arrived at the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom.
After arriving in the classroom, Ron and Harry and Hermione, who had already arrived in the classroom, were relieved, because given Umbridge's attitude towards Gryffindor, if Ron was really late, then he might Going to stay with George and Fred.
However, they obviously underestimated Umbridge's integrity.
Just as the three of Mike walked towards their actions quickly, a sly smile suddenly flashed across Umbridge's face, and he said:
"Stop for me!"
Hearing this, the three of Mike stopped.
The expressions of Mike and Franklin were quite normal, but Ron, who had said bad things about Umbridge just now, couldn't do it anymore. He lowered his head and was obviously very flustered.
"Ron, you're late!" said Umbridge. "20 points from Gryffindor! Then, give me a [-]-word review before class tomorrow!"
Ron's eyes turned red all of a sudden, and he retorted instinctively:
"But I'm obviously not late," he pointed to the magic clock in the classroom, "Look! It's only 9 o'clock!"
"No, it's 9 seconds past 30 o'clock, which means you're 30 seconds late." Umbridge frowned, "Also, you need to raise your hand to speak in my class, and you didn't do that just now .So Gryffindor will deduct 5 more points!"
Hearing this, Ron quickly covered his mouth, fearing that he was making a sound that would catch Umbridge.
The Ravenclaw students in the classroom also shook their heads in distress.
In their view, Mike and Franklin, who had arrived at the same time as Ron, would surely receive the same punishment.
But to everyone's surprise, after announcing Ron's punishment, Umbridge ignored Mike and Franklin and chose to let everyone go back to their seats.
Now the little lion of Gryffindor exploded immediately.
It is understandable for Umbridge to target Gryffindor. After all, because of what George and Fred did, they have already become enemies.
But now Umbridge is so partial to Ravenclaw?
What is the point of this! ?
"Quiet me!" Umbridge said, looking at the people whispering in the classroom, "Do you want to write an inspection too?"
Hearing that the noisy classroom suddenly fell silent, Umbridge smiled when he saw this:
"We're going to start class next. Of course, first of all, please put away your wands."
The students reluctantly followed suit, but Umbridge continued triumphantly:
"We finished Chapter 1 in the last class. Today I hope you all turn to page No.19 and start reading 'Chapter 2, General Defense Theory and Its Origin'. Don't talk while reading."
There was a slight sigh in the classroom.
Obviously, everyone didn't like this kind of boring reading class, but under Umbridge's coercion, everyone could only flip through the books as ordered.
It's just that reading belongs to reading, but the vast majority of students are no longer thinking about books, they are just in a meaningless daze.
Umbridge didn't seem to realize this, and was still sitting on the podium triumphantly.
But as time went by, the bored classmates couldn't take it anymore.
Some of them began to fiddle with the stationery on the table, and some began to pass notes.
From the students' point of view, these small movements should be invisible to the teacher, but in fact Umbridge on the podium can see all of them clearly.
"You! Don't look innocent, I'm talking about you, the black-haired Gryffindor!" Umbridge snapped to his feet and roared, "What's that in your hand? Take it out! "
The Gryffindor girl who was called opened her hand in despair, and a white note was lying quietly in his palm.
With the same expression as him, there was a Ravenclaw boy not far away, and he threw the note in the girl's hand—he was pursuing the Gryffindor girl.
"How dare you do tricks in my class!?" Umbridge said, "20 points will be deducted from Gryffindor. Write me a [-]-word review tomorrow!"
The Gryffindor girl's eyes turned red all of a sudden, and she lowered her head, trying not to let her tears flow down.
And the Ravenclaw boy also had a guilty face when he saw this, and stood up to accept Umbridge's punishment.
However, what was surprising was that Umbridge didn't have any intention of punishing him. On the contrary, Umbridge actually put on a kind expression like changing his face and asked him:
"Student, do you have any questions?"
"me……"
"Sit down if you don't have any questions," said Umbridge. "We've got to go on."
Now anyone could see that Umbridge was deliberately favoring Ravenclaw.
Many Ravenclaws were snickering, and they enjoyed this kind of preferential treatment.
Seeing this, Hermione couldn't bear it anymore, stood up and shouted at Umbridge angrily:
"It's not fair! That note was obviously passed to her by that boy!"
