Chapter 187 Umbridge and Professor McGonagall
"Yes, Professor Umbridge."
Tang Sen didn't show any signs of disgust, but stepped forward a few steps, pretending to appreciate the layout of the room, and avoiding Umbridge's intention to shake hands calmly.
"This is my first time at Hogwarts. I heard that there are powerful spells in the castle of Hogwarts?"
Umbridge didn't notice Townsend's dislike. He only thought that the other party couldn't wait out of curiosity, so he covered his mouth, laughed a few times, and said, "Since the castle was built thousands of years ago, it has been destroyed by generations. Professors and students continue to cast various spells, and now no one knows how many secrets are hidden in the castle."
She walked to the tea table and asked, "Black tea?"
Without waiting for Tang Sen to answer, she poured tea on her own, and continued: "There is no doubt that Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is the treasure of the British wizarding world and the common property of all British wizards, but now, someone Trying to take everyone's common property as their own, and even threaten the position of the Ministry of Magic"
She put the black tea in front of Tang Sen, and said, "Of course this is intolerable, and it is also the reason why I am here."
At this time, the fireplace was lit with green flames again, and Percy Weasley stepped out of it.
"Professor Umbridge." He lowered his head, trying not to look at those cat dishes that made people feel creepy, and handed over a document: "This is what the minister asked me to bring here."
Umbridge's eyes lit up, and he walked over with small steps, unsealing the document.
"Oh, what a piece of good news." She quickly scanned the title of the document, laughing so that her facial features squeezed together: "I finally don't have to see that sinister liar at Hogwarts, I want to be a Drive her out in front of all the students, and make a good statement."
"If there is nothing else, I'll go back to the Ministry of Magic first." Percy Weasley said very uncomfortable.
"Mr. Weasley, give Minister Fudge my regards and tell him that I am very pleased with the new professor of Divination."
Tang Sen held the black teacup beside him and pretended to take a sip.
Like other officials of the Ministry of Magic, Umbridge didn't care whether he knew divination at all. The so-called interview was just a formality, and everyone understood.
The only thing that surprised Townsend was that he didn't even give Umbridge even a copper Knut, and he didn't know that the other party forgot to take a bribe because he was too excited to drive away a professor. Or because he was too loyal to Minister Fudge.
In short, after Percy Weasley left through the fireplace, Umbridge impatiently waved the document in his hand, and said: "Mr. Tang, our meeting was very pleasant, and your entry procedures will be completed in the near future. Of course, You'd better submit a list of required textbooks for each grade at a later date."
"Okay." Tang Sen nodded.
"Now, you can enjoy black tea in my office, or just stroll around the castle. As a professor of divination, you have this authority."
"I'd be happy to visit Hogwarts," Townsend said.
"Very good." Umbridge opened the office door and smiled triumphantly. "My suggestion is that you can take a look around the auditorium and the foyer on the first floor. There will be some fun there soon."
She walked away excitedly with small steps, and even forgot to close the door of the office.
It was still class time, most of the students stayed in their classrooms, and the corridor seemed empty. When Tang Sen walked out of the office, he saw various portraits hanging on both sides of the corridor.
These portraits did not speak until after Umbridge disappeared, and those muffled voices echoed in the corridor, all complaining and insulting Umbridge.
Umbridge has been at Hogwarts for less than half a year, not only the students and professors, but even the ghosts and portraits hate her.
"I entered Hogwarts through the Ministry of Magic. In the eyes of students and professors, I naturally stood on Umbridge's side."
Tang Sen narrowed his eyes: "This is not very conducive to my future plans."
"However, I haven't got the title yet, so I have to keep a low profile for the time being."
He walked slowly through the corridor and came to the patio of the stairs, and finally saw traces of some students, all of whom were wearing well-fitting magic robes, some were only eleven or twelve years old, and some were almost adults.
The stairs in the patio are all moving irregularly. If you are not very familiar with Hogwarts, it is obviously not easy to find the way to the first floor. If you are unlucky, you may even be stuck on the stairs for a long time.
Whenever the school starts, there are always senior students who are full of interest to watch the lost freshmen for fun.
Apparently, quite a few students noticed this strange face they had never seen before, and some of them even stopped in their tracks, snickering and whispering to each other.
It was easy for Townsend to see that these students were expecting this stranger to be trapped on the stairs. Everyone who has been trapped on the stairs will have this kind of bad taste.
He smiled at the few students who were most blatantly discussing him at the entrance of the opposite corridor, then took out a gold Galleon, walked to a staircase, and tossed it lightly.
The omen of divination shows that it is not suitable to step on this staircase at present.
So he stood there and waited quietly. Sure enough, within a few seconds, the stairs vibrated and separated from the part that was originally connected, and slid onto another section of stairs.
He tossed the coin again, confirmed the result, and stepped up the stairs.
There were regretful hisses from the students, and they could see that Tang Sen had chosen the right path.
Tang Sen ignored them, tossing coins again and again, walking slowly but precisely through the complex staircase and patio, and finally stepped onto the corridor on the first floor.
Then he smiled and waved to the students at each entrance of the courtyard, adjusted his top hat, and walked away along the corridor.
"I'm sure it's not his first time at Hogwarts."
A student looked at Tang Sen's back in disappointment, and vowed: "No one can find the right way here the first time."
"But he looks alike." Another student said, "Besides, Orientals are rare, and I've only seen one in my life."
"You mean Qiu Zhang from the sixth grade? I see, he should be Qiu Zhang's family."
"There is no special reason, even parents are not allowed to enter Hogwarts, let alone wandering alone." The student retorted.
"Otherwise? He couldn't possibly be the new professor, could he? I mean, maybe Umbridge had a sudden illness and couldn't teach Defense Against the Dark Arts, so he changed."
"I really hope your nonsense comes true, but it's obviously impossible. I just saw Umbridge, and she looked very happy. I can be sure that someone must be unlucky today."
The two students looked at each other, instinctively shrunk their necks, and quickened their pace.
At this time, Tang Sen was stopped by a person.
The other party was wearing an old-fashioned dark green magic robe, his black hair was scrupulously coiled up, and he looked serious and meticulous.
"I have not been notified of any visitors at Hogwarts."
The witch stared at Tang Sen sternly, and pointed her wand at the ground in front of Tang Sen's feet, "Who are you?"
"You should be Professor McGonagall, right?" Townsend was not frightened by the other party's defensive attitude, but showed a friendly smile: "I heard Professor Flitwick mention you, Hogwarts vice-headmaster, Griffin Ms. Minerva McGonagall, head of multiple colleges and professor of Transfiguration."
Professor McGonagall did not let down her vigilance, her brows were still furrowed, and her tone was stiff: "Even for guests invited by Professor Flitwick, an application is required to enter Hogwarts. to walk alone in the castle without any circumstances."
"Entering Hogwarts without applying, I will treat it as an invasion."
"Sir, I warn you again, take your wand upside down with two fingers, put it on the ground, and tell me your origin and purpose."
She emphasized: "Attention, any dangerous move may send you to Azkaban."
Townsend spread his hands and said, "Relax, Professor McGonagall."
"I don't know why you haven't received the visitor notification. In fact, I came to Hogwarts for an interview on the recommendation of the British Minister of Magic."
"Interview?" Professor McGonagall was stunned for a moment: "I haven't heard any news from Dumbledore about recruitment."
She thought for a while, and then her face became even more ugly: "Your interviewer won't be Professor Umbridge?"
"The written notice I received is indeed like this." Tang Sen showed a puzzled look, and said, "Is there any problem? Forgive me for not knowing much about the British magic world, but based on my usual experience , since it is a document signed by the Minister of Magic, my actions should be reasonable and compliant."
"This is not the Ministry of Magic, but Hogwarts!" Professor McGonagall said angrily, but she still put down her wand. Out of politeness, she tried not to show her dissatisfaction, so she cleared her throat , asked:
"Even so, you don't have the right to move freely in the castle until the position is determined."
"Besides, Hogwarts doesn't have a single course that lacks professors. What kind of position are you interviewing for?"
"I'm a fortune teller, so, of course, I'm applying for the position of professor of divination." Tang Sen showed a helpless expression: "I'm sorry that I'm not familiar with the rules here, Professor Umbridge thinks I can free time--"
Obviously, hearing this name made Professor McGonagall's eyebrows twitch severely, and she raised her volume: "There is already a professor in the divination class, she—"
The voice was interrupted by a scream, and the two of them, as well as the students in the corridor, heard chaotic sounds not far away.
Professor McGonagall pursed his lips into a line, turned around quickly, and said, "I have to go and see, follow me, fortune teller."
"You can't leave my sight until I figure out the situation!"
