Hogwarts: I'm Cousin Harry.

"There's no way we can promise you that, little Ronnie."

"But although we can't promise you this, we can give you a good thing."

As they spoke, the two took out a few brightly colored candies from their pockets and gave one to each of the prefect and Ron. The packaging was of a type they had never seen before.

"Try it quickly. This is a new type of candy purchased from Honeydukes. It is still in trial operation. We got it with great difficulty."

Ron did not doubt that he was there, so he decisively opened the package and put it in his mouth. When the prefect saw Ron doing this, he also opened it and put it in his mouth.

In the next second, their tongues began to swell at an incredible speed until the entire mouth could no longer accommodate it and quickly turned purple.

"Hahaha"

"It's so much fun."

When the little wizards around them saw this, they thought the expressions of the two were very funny and laughed.

Fred held out his hand.

"Little Ronnie, prank!"

George slapped his hand hard.

The two high-fived each other and then said in unison.

"Big success!"

The overly fat tongue filled the entire mouth and even the throat, and the direct effect was that it made it difficult to breathe. The poor prefect who followed him turned purple. He pressed his neck hard to try to slow down, but it didn't work. It didn't work, so he looked at the others for help.

However, everyone was just laughing, and no one cared whether he felt uncomfortable.

Only Ron acted very calmly, as if he had expected it. He calmly took out the wand from his pocket, first tapped it lightly on his tongue, and it quickly returned to its original size, and then he returned it to its original size. Restore the prefect's tongue in the same manner.

The twins laughed and stepped forward and asked, "How does it feel? Our fat tongue toffee?!"

Ron rubbed his somewhat uncomfortable neck. His tongue almost hit his throat just now: "The tongue has swelled at least ten times. It feels very bad. If no one relieves this state in time, it is easy to suffocate. It is a very bad thing." Dangerous stuff."

It's a pity that the two brothers only heard the first sentence and selectively ignored Ron's last few sentences.

Ron has long been used to this. He has been teased by his two older brothers since he was a child. For example, turning the doll you are holding into a giant spider, scaring you out of the shadows, etc. are commonplace. , and when they were very young, they also tried to induce themselves to make an 'unbreakable' curse, knowing that once the swearer violates this curse, he will die.

Fortunately, he was discovered and stopped by his father in time.

But just because they don't mind it doesn't mean that others will tolerate them.

"Brothers, I don't object to your pranks, but not everyone likes pranks. Remember? If everyone laughs, it's a joke. If you only laugh, it's not a joke."

However, the two brothers still turned a deaf ear to his advice and didn't take it seriously at all.

Even Ron was a little angry: "I just came here to tell you, you can ignore what I said, but I still want to say it."

"First courtesy, then soldiers. I am courtesy. If you ignore me, the next one to come will be soldiers."

Chapter 360 Chapter 354 Fluffy Pink Cardigan

"Oh my god, Fred, look."

One of the redheads shouted in a very exaggerated tone: "Our little brother Ronnie, he... has grown up."

"His former self."

"But I can't say anything so philosophical."

"He's become just like workaholic Percy!"

"Steady, boring, and devoid of any Weasley sense of humor."

Ron sighed: "You are Fred, you don't need to pretend to be brother George."

Why are you so sure that the person speaking is Fred? Although the twins have the same appearance, their personalities are too different.

People who are unfamiliar with it may not be able to tell the difference, but people who are familiar with it can see it at a glance.

Fred has a flamboyant personality and is a complete instigator. He must be the one who takes the lead in doing bad things and ridiculing people. As for George, he will be more gentle and peaceful.

"Brothers, although I don't like your pranks, I still admit your talent in this. If you really want to engage in this career, why can't you find another way? If you lack funds, you can ask me or Brother D."

"If you really need it and want to realize your ideals, I think I can lend it to you."

"Also, I don't think you should say that about brother Percy, he is your brother just like you are mine."

After Ron finished speaking, he left with the prefects.

Fred wanted to teach Ron a lesson about respect, but was stopped by George.

Perhaps Ron's words before leaving had an effect. That afternoon the twins very consciously tore down the notice on the notice board.

The classes in the next few days were normal. Professors from various disciplines were teaching their respective courses seriously. However, when facing the fifth grade (Harry's class), the teaching content would be adjusted by one or several levels. Even so, it was almost impossible to meet everyone's needs. The content they studied was too advanced.

The Defense Against the Dark Arts class is scheduled on Friday as always, and the entire Friday is devoted to this subject.

As a professor, Umbridge walked into the classroom wearing her fluffy pink cardigan just like she did at the opening dinner.

"She doesn't think she looks very girly in this way, does she?"

"I heard she is still single."

"."

Because of what happened at the opening dinner, many young wizards didn't like her. Although Dumbledore seemed crazy and unreasonable, he was actually the most beloved of the past principals of Hogwarts.

Therefore, many young wizards are not very friendly towards Umbridge.

"Students, good afternoon!"

As soon as she entered the classroom, she showed a sweet smile to everyone, and still spoke in a low voice.

Only a few students muttered "Good afternoon" in reply.

"Tsk, tsk" Professor Umbridge shook her head repeatedly: "That's not okay, is it? I hope you answer like this: 'Good afternoon, Professor Umbridge.' Please do it again. Good afternoon, students!"

"."

After her words fell, the whole place fell into deathly silence, and no one took the initiative to speak.

Although Umbridge was still smiling, her expression began to stiffen as time passed.

until

"Good afternoon, Professor Umbridge."

Dudley was the first to speak.

In any case, the other party is a professor at Hogwarts, appointed by Dumbledore to give her face.

But face is a mutual thing. If the other party doesn’t know what to do,

Then the Slytherin students followed in unison.

"Good afternoon, Professor Umbridge."

The other young wizards from the academy looked at each other before speaking one after another.

"That's right." Umbridge nodded and gave Dudley what she thought was a charming smile. Dudley got goosebumps when he saw it, and then heard her voice say coquettishly: "That's not too bad. Difficult, isn't it? Please put away your wand and get out your quill."

Everyone looked at each other and could see the depression in each other's eyes.

We don’t use wands in Defense Against the Dark Arts classes, so what do we use?Fists?

However, Umbridge didn't care about this and just listened to her continue: "I heard that the teaching of your course has always been intermittent learning and not systematic, right?"

What she said is actually true. Who asked Hogwarts to change the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher every year? Even if you want to study systematically, you have to have a chance, isn't it? The loss of Defense Against the Dark Arts teachers is too great.

Mric sat on the podium, facing the whole class, with his fingers crossed and placed squarely on his chest, and then said: "I think you are far from what you should be in the O.W.Ls year. level achieved.”

The little wizards in the audience looked at each other again, and everyone saw the strangeness in each other's eyes.

Are you serious?

Karkaroff, the principal of Durmstrang Magic School last year, didn't say that. He said that everyone's learning progress had far exceeded O. W. At the level of Ls, even if you proceed directly to N. E. W. Ts can also get O easily.

Umbridge obviously did not notice the thoughts of the little wizards. She was still talking to herself: "These problems will be corrected this year. What we are going to learn is a carefully arranged, theory-centered, magic-based course. Ministry-approved Defense Against Magic course.”

Then she began to give a lecture. It was said to be a lecture, but in fact it was more like reading out the contents of the "Magical Defense Theory" according to the script.

It's very boring, even more boring than Professor Binns's class. At least I can sleep in his class, as long as I don't snore.

The discipline team had basically read the contents of this book during the vacation.

The evaluation of this book can only be described as rubbish, not only because of the weird ideas in the book, but also because this is obviously a book about defense against the dark arts, okay, magic defense, but there is no mention of it in the whole book. To a sentence about magic spells.

Yes, even if you read the entire book, you won't be able to learn any of it, even the simplest spell.

What would you learn in Defense Against the Dark Arts class if you don't learn defensive magic?

How about learning how to wear a pink cardigan?Or learn how to speak in a little girl’s voice?

Just when everyone was trying to find something else to do on this course, Hermione, who was sitting next to Dudley, raised her right hand high.

Umbridge seemed to have not seen it and looked in the opposite direction.

Time passed by minute by second, but Hermione had no intention of putting her hand down, nor did she deliberately say anything, but silently raised her arm.

According to the rules in class, students who want to speak must raise their hands and obtain the professor's approval.

She is clearly following this rule.

Who is Hermione?The lioness of Gryffindor, her move instantly attracted the attention of many young wizards.

In this way, Hermione managed to attract everyone's attention even though she didn't do anything deliberately.

Chapter 361 355 Gryffindor deducts ten points, Mr. Potter (please

The situation continued until everyone in the classroom except Umbridge had their full attention on Hermione.

Even Umbridge felt that she could no longer turn a blind eye to the situation.

"Dear, do you have any questions?"

So Umbridge turned around and asked, looking exactly like she had just noticed her.

With her acting skills alone, she is much better than Fudge as her immediate boss.

"What passage in the book are you confused about? Professor Umbridge will be happy to answer it for you."

Hermione shook her head and kept looking at Umbridge: "It's not what's in the book."

Umbridge pretended to be casual and gently avoided her eyes: "If you have other questions, we can talk about it after class."

"I have a question about your course goals."

Hermione simply got to the point.

Umbridge raised her eyebrows when she heard this, and her eyes stayed on Hermione for a while: "What's your name?"

"Hermione Granger."

"Well, Miss Granger, you think I've explained the objectives of this course in enough detail, and if you read what I wrote on the blackboard you'll understand."

There were only three dots written on the blackboard behind Umbridge.

1. Understand the basic principles of magic defense.

2. Learn to recognize the occasions in which defense against magic can be legally used.

3. Assess defensive magic in the context of practical application.

Well, at first glance, the learning content seems very rigorous, but in fact, the learning content makes no sense. You are facing a dark wizard who uses black magic. Do you still need to identify the occasion before opening it?

Hermione said bluntly: "Professor Umbridge, there is not a single word about using defensive spells."

"Use defensive spells?" Professor Umbridge repeated with a chuckle, continuing in her sickly sweet voice: "Gee, I can't imagine someone in my class that would require you to use defensive spells. Situation, Miss Granger. You don't expect to be attacked during class, do you?"

A simple change of concept, whether you will actually be attacked in the class and whether you need to learn defensive spells in the Defense Against Dark Arts class are two different things.

Being safe in school does not mean you are safe outside.

So Hermione didn't answer her directly.

"I think the name of our course is Defense Against the Dark Arts, not Defense Against the Dark Arts Theory."
