Chapter 189 You Robbed the Department of Fantastic Beasts?
"toss a coin?"

Umbridge showed an absurd expression. She stared at Townsend, desperately wanting to use her best tone to mock this childish behavior.

But she held back, no matter what, the oriental people in front of her were recommended by Minister Fudge, and they were on her side.

"This is divination." Tang Sen explained earnestly: "Divination is a precise and practical knowledge. For example, I just saw an omen from the future by tossing a coin."

Low laughter came from among the students. Tang Sen's words were obviously not believed, because his behavior was too casual and light. In everyone's impression, divination is a serious and mysterious thing .

Especially under the influence of Trelawney for so many years, students always think that things related to divination are not good things, and those omens are almost all related to disaster and death.

Umbridge obviously didn't believe Townsend's explanation either. She was hesitating whether to stop Townsend's playful suggestion, but Dumbledore didn't give her this chance.

"It is indeed more reasonable for students to decide who is suitable to be their own professor, and it is also in line with Hogwarts style."

He said happily: "I think an open class is enough for students to identify what kind of professor they want, and then cast their vote."

"Professor Dumbledore—" Umbridge wanted to interrupt, but was robbed by Dumbledore: "The time is set in two days, I think Mr. Tang and Firenze need to do some work for the public class." Prepare."

"There is no such a big classroom in the castle." Umbridge realized that this matter has been settled, so he said angrily: "Are you going to use the auditorium as a classroom? There is no precedent for this."

"Students from only one grade are enough." Dumbledore had clearly thought of everything, and he said, "Students in the fifth grade are about to face the OWL exam, and they should be the most representative."

Umbridge's complexion became even uglier. She preferred to choose the first-year students. Those students had just entered Hogwarts and didn't have that much resentment towards her.

"I think as the headmaster, I have not been deprived of the right to decide on the curriculum." Dumbledore cut off Umbridge's struggle cleanly. In front of Lun Ze, he said with a little guilt:

"I hope my decision will not embarrass you, Firenze."

"It won't be more difficult than asking me to promise you to leave my tribe and come to Hogwarts." Firenze looked calm, "The divination of wizards always cares about those insignificant injuries, human beings are insignificant accident."

"Compared with the vast universe, these things are as insignificant as ants crawling around."

"If you want me to teach that kind of thing, I'm afraid I can't do it. What the centaurs observe is the mystery of astrological movement, and it is about the important changes and disasters in the world. It may take us ten years to learn what we see. of."

Obviously, this centaur has his own pride in divination, which comes from the centaur's racial talent and the knowledge passed down from generation to generation.

"You just teach what you are good at." Dumbledore didn't care about the blunt attitude of the other party. "As for the venue and equipment, if you need my help, please mention it."

"The best place is of course in the Forbidden Forest." Firenze said without hesitation: "Only there, students can clearly see the starry sky and experience the omens in the movement of the stars."

"Ahem." Umbridge finally found an excuse to attack. She screamed, pointed at the centaur's nose, and said, "Hogwarts students don't nest in the woods like wild beasts."

"Who knows if you will become a beast and hurt the students? Maybe you and your beast clansmen have already conspired—"

"Professor Umbridge!" Dumbledore interrupted her sternly, "Pay attention to your words, I don't want to hear you insulting my friend again from your mouth!"

Umbridge was frightened, she stepped back timidly, but then she was furious again, she dared not admit that she was frightened, so she screamed, "Dumbledore, don't you need to be concerned about the safety of the students?" Responsible! I'm going to tell Minister Fudge!"

"Please call me Professor Dumbledore." Dumbledore reminded again, then ignored Umbridge who was mad, turned and said to Firenze apologetically: "Please don't pay attention to her words, in my opinion, Ma Man is always a wise and friendly creature.”

"Not always friendly." Firenze the centaur stared at Umbridge coldly, as if he would crush him with his hard hooves at any moment.

Dumbledore was a little embarrassed, and moved a little to block the centaur's sight, and said, "I'm afraid the Forbidden Forest is not suitable for teaching. I mean, the school explicitly prohibits students from entering the Forbidden Forest. It is allowed on the edge of the Forbidden Forest for the safety of the students."

"Of course, I will give you a classroom that is almost the same as the Forbidden Forest."

He quickly ended the topic, looked at Tang Sen, and said, "Mr. Tang, what kind of venue and equipment do you need?"

"An ordinary classroom is enough." Tang Sen nodded politely and said, "Is divination such an inconvenient thing?"

These words attracted the centaur's cold gaze, but Tang Sen obviously didn't care, and instead smiled politely at him.

"Then it's decided."

Dumbledore looked around and said: "Two days later, fifth graders, I mean all fifth graders in the four colleges, I hope you all come to the public class, I will announce the time and location of the two classes column posted."

"For the sake of fairness and justice in the voting, Professor McGonagall and Professor Umbridge will observe the whole process and record the voting results on the spot."

This farce ended like this. On the way back to the office, Umbridge seemed very dissatisfied. She was dissatisfied that the scene she expected did not happen. Dumbledore resolved her methods and let her I lost face in front of the students.

Of course, she was also dissatisfied with Townsend's self-assessment and deciding which divination class to use to resolve the dispute. In her opinion, asking the Minister of Magic to sign another education decree could better suppress Dumbledore's status.

However, she did not express her dissatisfaction. Anyway, Tang Sen was also recommended by the Minister of Magic. All she could do was remind time and time again that if Tang Sen did not get the support of the students in class vote, then he will lose this position forever, which is the consequence of his own initiative.

Obviously, under such an unpleasant atmosphere, Umbridge didn't keep Townsend for another cup of black tea. Townsend grabbed a handful of Floo powder and went straight back to the Leaky Cauldron through the fireplace.

Old Tom's attention was immediately attracted.

"Don, how was the interview?" He had a strange look on his face: "Have you met Umbridge? Was it impressive?"

"Indeed." Tang Sen walked out of the fireplace with a smile.

"Here is your package, which says the Department of Magical Creatures Management and Control of the Ministry of Magic." Old Tom pointed to the corner of the tavern: "I can't believe you have only been in the UK for three days. I feel like you met in the Ministry of Magic." There are more people than me."

"Oh, it's here so soon." Tang Sen was a little surprised to see a boxy package over one meter high in the corner.

The harvest location of his deal with the Department of Fantastic Beasts Management and Control filled in the Leaky Cauldron, after all, he lives here temporarily, and Hogwarts is not suitable as a harvest location, and the many magics attached to that castle make some dangerous things Inaccessible.

"What is it?" asked old Tom curiously.

"Ingredients." Tang Sen opened the package, and inside was a refrigerator.

Tang Sen was sure that this thing must have been found from a place that prohibits the misuse of Muggle items. If nothing else, there was also a traceless extension spell inside——

It is of course illegal to use the Untraceable Extending Charm without permission, but the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures can obviously easily register this refrigerator.

"Hey, ingredients." Old Tom repeated the word, and joked: "What kind of ingredients will have the words Department of Management and Control of Magical Creatures on it? Dragon meat?"

Tang Sen opened the refrigerator, and saw that there was a space about half the size of a room, and there were neatly stacked meat of various colors, some with hair and scales.

Probably due to the effect of the spell, there is still a cold air in the space.

"Maybe." Tang Sen replied casually, "I don't recognize it, Mr. Tom, does the Leaky Cauldron provide food processing services?"

Townsend was not worried about being found out about his dealings with the Department of Regulation and Control of Fantastic Beasts, he believed that the director must have recorded these in a reasonable and legal manner.

"You're kidding me, aren't you?" Old Tom came out of the bar and muttered, "It's not funny, every wizard knows that it's illegal to handle magical animal materials without permission, I mean , Eating is also considered a kind of processing. Although I have never heard of anyone doing this."

He leaned his head and looked into the refrigerator.

Then, he opened his mouth wide.

"By Merlin—"

He stared at Tang Sen as if he had seen a ghost: "Are you robbing the Department of Fantastic Beasts?"

"I don't have this ability." Tang Sen explained: "Specifically speaking, I took over the business of the Department of Management and Control of Magical Beasts to help them dispose of the bodies of magical animals that died accidentally."

"Is there such a business?" Old Tom felt that the scene in front of him was challenging his decades-long understanding of the world: "Well, you are a fortune teller, maybe you really have some abilities that I can't understand, but What did you just say?"

"Food processing?"
