Although Umbridge didn't want to name Hermione at all, it was a "right" for students to ask questions in class. Even if she wants to ignore it, it has to be within a limit.
Look at Hermione's appearance of never giving up when she didn't agree to ask questions. Umbridge had already prepared his own speech. In her opinion, the stubborn ignorant girl must want to fight her.
Because the girl as like as two peas in the Ministry of magic.
However
"... personally, I think it's very wonderful!"
Neither the students around nor Umbridge sitting behind the desk could guess Hermione's words.
"HMM... really?" Umbridge's face still wore the sweet and disgusting smile, but his heart felt uncomfortable. "Honey, since you think so, it's better - sit down and continue reading!"
But Hermione didn't mean to sit down at all. She still stood behind the desk, her eyes firm and divine.
"Of course, I really like reading it very much, but --" she paused deliberately to make everyone's eyes more focused, and then continued, "in fact, I'd like to hear your understanding of the book. I believe it will help us get better results in the o.w.ls exam."
There is no doubt that the classroom formed by a variety of students and teachers will change. But in the final analysis, the direct goal of students in school is to get results in exams.
No matter what Umbridge plans to do in Hogwarts, she comes in as a "Professor", so she must respond to Hermione's words.
Because Hermione's words not only have no problems, but also show her admiration for teaching materials.
"Oh, of course, dear..." Umbridge restrained the inexplicable irritability in her heart, and she smiled, "what's your name?"
"Hermione Granger, Professor," Hermione replied quickly.
"Well, in your words, I clearly felt your love for this book," Umbridge nodded. "Of course I will make a specific explanation for you, but that must be after you have read it - Miss Granger, I hope you will first" Professor, its truth... "Hermione looked down with a strained look, and then looked up again, "Because this book is so wonderful, I couldn't help but memorize it in the middle of the night last night..."
"Cough"
Harry, who was sitting on the side completely confused, was choked by his saliva after hearing this sentence.
"What -- um -- really?" the fake smile on Umbridge's face stiffened slightly. "Then you can recite --"
"Hermione recited very smoothly and didn't even stumble, but to be honest, although Umbridge read the whole book, she really didn't have the ability to recite it at one time.
But it was futile for her to open the book and compare it, even if she had a thick skin.
Because even if Hermione recites wrong, she can only be rewarded but not punished. After all, as long as Hermione starts reciting, she is right and a "good student" who loves learning.
"Well, OK, very good..." Hermione was interrupted by Umbridge, who was in a dilemma, before she could recite it for a long time. "Although there are some omissions, it is understandable, but we can't learn by rote and understand the author's intention in the process of reading..."
This time Umbridge spoke very fast, obviously to prevent Hermione from interrupting, because her first two words were just an excuse for her to regain control of the situation. If Hermione pointed out, she would lose more than she gained.
However, Hermione was not picky about Umbridge's two face saving words. She just stood in her seat and waited quietly for Umbridge's long routine to come to an end.
A few minutes later, when Umbridge warned everyone to read the textbook again and not just look at the surface, Hermione spoke again.
"Yes, Professor Umbridge said very well! We should have a deeper understanding of the theory of Mr. Wilbert slinka, the author of the book," she continued with a very serious nod. "On this point, I read an important view of Mr. scarlin in the book --"
"Mr. scarlin said that the use of any offensive defensive magic should not be encouraged."
"Yes, my class will teach you how to learn magic defense under the premise of legality, safety and no risk, and use it to protect yourself." Umbridge raised his eyebrows and said, "Miss Granger, do you have any questions about it?"
"I agree with this view very much! Because it will not hurt others or yourself... But..."
At this point, Hermione subconsciously rubbed the thumb and index finger of her right hand, which was alleviating some emotions in her heart.
"But Mr. McLean, our professor of ancient magic, did not abide by this view --"
Her speed of speaking suddenly quickened.
"At the personal audio-visual meeting in the summer vacation, Professor McLean drove Voldemort away with an aggressive magic, and he even won the second order of the Merlin Jazz order!"
"Professor Umbridge, I think Professor McLean's behavior is not only disrespect for Mr. slinka and you, but also irresponsible to himself - there is something wrong with his Merlin medal!"
After the welcome dinner, Umbridge had someone send the information about Maka overnight. However, for "Marca McLean", she can only say that she has no way to start.
Maka's resume is obviously very jumping. There are many records from positive to negative, but no matter which one is "big", people don't dare to intervene at will.
Especially recently, since Maka's "spy" identity was revealed, the biggest negative cases have been completely broken back to the positive.
Even if she and Umbridge want to "do something" in it, it can't be done in a while - the people and things involved are too deep.
At present, Hermione sets up an image of "Umbridge supporter" on herself, but throws the most fundamental point of view in the textbook designated by Umbridge, the theory of magical defense, on Maka's head.
This made Umbridge couldn't help but draw a corner of his eye.
The Merlin medal is awarded by the International Federation of wizards. Can she say "no"?
Even if she wants to start from this point, she must prepare sufficient evidence secretly. If she dares to talk nonsense in public, she may be invited to wiesengamo for tea some other day.
So Hermione can say these words, but she can't - who makes her not only a professor, but also a senior official of the Ministry of magic?
"Well... I'm going to report this to the Ministry of magic..." Umbridge was really choked by her, but he could only hold his anger back at this time. "Miss Granger, please sit down!"
Umbridge "struggled" in the Ministry of magic for so many years and climbed to the top by various improper means. But even so, to climb so high in the Ministry of magic, it can be seen that her surface Kung Fu is quite clever.
At least, under Hermione's attack, she was still not angry, but the fake smile on her face was very strong.
But this time it was Hermione's turn to ignore her will.
"Thank you, but..." Hermione pretended to be sorry. "Since the International Federation of wizards awarded Professor McLean the Merlin medal, can we continue to study the magic defense theory, which is contrary to the significance of the Federation?"
"Of course!" Umbridge took a deep breath. "The International Federation decorated Mr. McLean in recognition of his achievements and contributions. As for whether his behavior is appropriate, it needs further review and discussion."
"So, as I said just now, I'm ready to report it to the Ministry of Magic - please sit down, Miss Granger!" she said kindly in a sweet, greasy tone
"Hermione, she sat down, she finally sat down!" - it was a thought passing through everyone's mind at the same time.
In the following class time, Umbridge never said another word, and the students also closed their mouths firmly.
Nothing else, just because of what Hermione said just now, they felt that what they said was superfluous.
People are about to deny this textbook. Can you do better?
In the case that most students don't like Umbridge, only a few can stand up and say more. Not everyone can fight against the professor.
But from another point of view, wouldn't it be better if Hermione could stab the old woman with a soft knife?
When the bell rang just after class, Umbridge immediately walked out of the classroom with his book in his hand and didn't even look back.
"Hermione, what happened to you just now? That's not like you?"
Harry and Ron both looked surprised, but Hermione smiled.
"Yes, I know..." she shrugged. "In fact, at the beginning, I just wanted to argue about the content of this book, but Umbridge always ignored my raised hand and gave me more time to think..."
"... then I suddenly recalled the behavior of Marca and Dumbledore yesterday. I think it was telling us something --"
