Chapter 1000： Abandoned Defense Against the Dark Arts class

  Chapter 1000 Abandoned Defense Against the Dark Arts

  In the short few days after the start of school, everyone has figured out Umbridge's character. This is an old woman who is hypocritical, self-righteous, unreasonable, and likes to control people.

   None of the prefects who had ever dealt with Umbridge liked her.

   I don't know which prefect secretly leaked the content of the conversation with Umbridge. Now it has started to spread in the school. Umbridge wants the prefects to be her spies and monitor the students of Hogwarts.

  The Deputy Minister of Magic obviously regarded Hogwarts as the Ministry of Magic, and actually played a trick of intrigue, preparing to split and break the students' trust in the prefects, and trying to win the prefects to his side.

  As soon as the news spread, the whole school was almost blown up. The prefects didn't know how many times they scolded Umbridge in their hearts.

  In order not to be isolated by the students, they began to spread the news they got from Umbridge, and negative rumors about Umbridge were flying all over the sky for a while.

  The most exciting news for everyone is: Umbridge finally hit a wall with Albert, and was so angry that he smashed the office.

  At that time, many students heard the sound of cursing and smashing things coming from the Defense Against the Dark Arts office.

  Everyone gloated over this. They didn't dare to ignore Umbridge like Albert did, but they were still extremely excited when they saw the old woman deflated.

  Unfortunately, no one knows what Albert and Umbridge talked about.

  Even if they knew it, they couldn't learn it.

  Because Albert can basically ignore N.E.W.T's results, even if he didn't have that report card, no one would doubt his true level.

  The shining world-class championship title is undoubtedly the best proof, and Albert does not seem to plan to enter the Ministry of Magic after graduation.

  Since the two sides have nothing to do with each other, why make false claims against Umbridge.

  So, this Hogwarts genius directly ignored the Deputy Minister of Magic, and spent most of his time in the library, not knowing what he was researching.

   Not long after, news spread in Hogwarts Castle that Umbridge had allowed Albert not to attend Defense Against the Dark Arts class.

  For this reason, many seventh grade students came to ask Albert about this.

  If Albert hadn't been able to bear the pressure in front, Umbridge would soon be able to break down their resistance, and then everyone would undoubtedly face Umbridge's revenge.

   Albert stopped going to Defense Against the Dark Arts class, and everyone's resistance to Umbridge collapsed in an instant.

  Those seventh graders who didn't care about the rumors received a direct blow.

   They originally wanted to find another student council president to resist the thunder, but Katrina seemed to have received some wind and stopped coming to the Defense Against the Dark Arts class.

  Suddenly, the students in grade seven suffered an unwarranted disaster. They remembered the rumors about Umbridge. Everyone was in danger, and they could feel that the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor's revenge was coming.

  After realizing that the atmosphere was not right, Fred, George, and Lee Jordan decisively found an excuse to escape.

  Who made them Albert's roommates and friends, easy to be affected by innocence.

   "Umbridge is very angry," Angelina warned, "you better be careful."

   "It doesn't matter, we are going to apply to Professor McGonagall for giving up the Defense Against the Dark Arts class." Fred said disapprovingly.

   "So, even if she is angry, what can she do to us?"

  The three of them did not love Umbridge at all. If the woman dared to try to put them in confinement, they would have a way to deal with it.

   "You really gave up."

  The girls were all surprised, they didn't expect the three of them to give up Defense Against the Dark Arts decisively.

  Fred said with a smile: "We don't plan to rely on N.E.W.T's transcript to find a job in the future. Why do we have to put up with that old woman Umbridge?"

   "Umbridge will take revenge on others soon, don't forget about the first class." Lee Jordan reminded, "She may not be able to do anything with Albert, but she can find ways to torment you."

   "So, you ran away when you saw that the situation was not good."

   "You can also run away as a group instead of going to her improvement class." George said with a smile.

   "What about N.E.W.T?"

"According to the curse law of Hogwarts, Umbridge will definitely not be able to pass this semester smoothly, and then you can take part in N.E.W.T." Fred said with a smile: "You should also learn from Albert I copied the review syllabus there, as long as I finish those things by myself, basically there will be no problem.”

   "No, I mean..."

   Angelina was interrupted by Fred before she finished speaking.

   "Do you think the theoretical knowledge you have learned from the Defense Against the Dark Arts class is really useful?"

   "It makes sense." Shanna nodded and agreed: "Let's learn by ourselves, or we can form a Defense Against the Dark Arts interest group at that time, and then everyone can communicate with each other and make progress."

   "I don't think this possibility is high." Alicia frowned and looked at the three people in front of her. There are too few brave guys like Fred, George, and Lee Jordan.

   "Count me in, anyway, I plan to become a Quidditch player in the future." Angelina didn't pay much attention to N.E.W.T's results.

   "Albert is writing a book on Defense Against the Dark Arts, and it's almost finished. Maybe we can use it." George said suddenly, "I believe that book is definitely infinitely better than "Defense Against Magic."

   Knowing that the seventh grade students in her college were going to give up the Defense Against the Dark Arts class collectively, the expression on Professor McGonagall's face instantly collapsed. What made her even worse was that this group of people just came to inform her the dean as a routine.

   "Why did you give up Defense Against the Dark Arts class?"

  Professor McGonagall had to allocate a lot of time to interview several people.

   However, she got the uniform caliber:

   "Sorry Professor, our time is precious, we don't have time to play games with Umbridge..."

   "The results of N.E.W.T are actually not very important to the few of us..."

   "We can also teach ourselves Defense Against the Dark Arts..."

   "Umbridge only teaches theory in her class, and theory alone won't help us get good grades in N.E.W.T...."

   "Why do we have to waste time with her and look at her face?"

  Professor McGonagall has no choice but to ask Albert for help.

   "Umbridge allowed me to skip the class and go directly to the exam at the end of the semester. I think it's very good." Facing the somewhat annoyed Professor McGonagall, Albert's tone was calm.

  "Everyone is complaining about Professor Dumbledore. I don't understand how he would allow an "outsider" like Umbridge to teach Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts."

   "This is undoubtedly a direct pit for the fifth and seventh graders in this class. If you pay attention, there are many people who are dissatisfied with this."

   "However, even if you are dissatisfied..."

   "The curse has always existed." Albert said meaningfully.

  No one expected that the seventh-year Gryffindor students would be so stubborn that they simply gave up the Defense Against the Dark Arts class. Such a coquettish operation really stunned the entire Hogwarts students.

  Umbridge almost went mad with anger.

  She probably didn't expect things to turn out like this.

   Shut them into confinement?

Umbridge really didn't dare to do that, at least she didn't dare now, because she found that this group of people was more united than expected, especially Albert's roommates, who looked like you dare to mess with me, everyone will be together Damn, we don't need any N.E.W.T transcripts anyway.

   What made her even worse was that as long as she dared to ask other people to ask questions alone, they would appear outside her office with wands in their hands, as if they were going to rush in to give her a good look when they heard the movement.

   Don’t tell me, they are really ready.

  Even the forgetting potion is ready.

   Not long after, students from other colleges followed suit and gave up Defense Against the Dark Arts.

  The reason is actually: Everyone thinks she will die from the curse of the Defense Against the Dark Arts before she graduates this semester, and it will be good to attend N.E.W.T then.

  After hearing the news, Umbridge's face was contorted with anger.

  …

"This year we need to face N.E.W.T." A student who did not want to be named said, "We don't believe that the Defense Against the Dark Arts exam will be a written exam. According to Umbridge's teaching method, there are probably very few candidates who can pass and get excellent grades." Not many."

   "I can't believe it. The education reform that the Ministry of Magic is looking for is to make Hogwarts fail all Defense Against the Dark Arts?"

"It turns out that the Ministry of Magic has never thought to do a good job in education, otherwise it would not send a Umbridge who knows nothing to Hogwarts as a professor...As far as I know, most of the employees of the Ministry of Magic I can't even recite the Iron Armor Curse well..."

  Sirius's steady, charismatic voice came from the radio over the fireplace.

   This radio will be turned on on time every day, and it will automatically play the broadcast from the wizard watch station.

  Although some students feel irritable, most of them are willing to calm down and listen to the content on the radio.

   Rumors spread everywhere for a while, and many students questioned Umbridge's teaching level.

   Dumbledore was also unlucky, and received a large number of complaint letters from students as soon as the school started.

   I don't know who said that it was useless to complain to Dumbledore, so the students started writing to the Ministry of Magic again.

  Fred, George and Lee Jordan encouraged a group of people to send news to various newspapers and magazines.

  However, those letters seemed to sink into the sea without splashing a little wave.

   No one really cares about these things.

  This is also the reason for the popularity of the wizard's watch station radio.

  After Sirius' voice fell silent, Hermione's angry voice suddenly came from the common room, attracting the attention of the students who had just finished listening to the radio.

   "Are you okay!" Ron asked worriedly.

   "We're going to take the O.W.Ls exam this year!" Hermione seemed to vent her anger by banging on the armrest of the chair, "How could Dumbledore let this happen?"

   "Calm down Hermione, take a tranquilizer." Harry took out a bottle of medicine from his pocket and poured Hermione a pill.

   "How do you make me calm down." Hermione reached out and pushed away the pill Harry handed over, and growled in a low voice, "What are we going to do with this year's O.W.Ls exam?"

  Ron looked at Hermione, who was a little out of control, at a loss.

   "Maybe, we can ask Anderson to teach us. He has given tutoring to students of the same class before." Harry threw the tranquilizer in his mouth and suggested.

   "He's not free, I asked him, and he said he's very busy this semester." Hermione put her hand on her forehead and said weakly, "The O.W.Ls exam is very important, it's related to our future!"

   "Harry, do you carry that thing with you now?" Ron tried to change the subject.

   "After I felt the benefits of a calm mind during the interrogation." Harry put the medicine bottle back in his pocket and said calmly, "I knew I needed this thing."

   "Give me one," said Hermione suddenly, "I need to calm down."

  Harry took out the medicine bottle and poured Hermione a tranquilizer.

After swallowing the pill, Hermione's mood stabilized a lot. She took a deep breath, and said to Harry and Ron beside her, "We need to save ourselves, set up a Defense Against the Dark Arts study group, and learn the principles of Defense Against the Dark Arts by ourselves." knowledge and skills."

  Harry and Ron looked at each other.

  Finally, Harry lowered his voice and said, "Tonight, I will find time to contact Sirius and see if they can help us."

   "Harry...do you want to join us?" Fred appeared out of nowhere and put his hand on Harry's shoulder and asked.

"What's up."

   "We are going to give Umbridge some surprises." George said with a smile.

   "Are you really not going to the Defense Against the Dark Arts class?" Hermione asked suddenly.

   "Going to Umbridge's class is a complete waste of time. Do you think the N.E.W.T exam will test theory?" Fred asked rhetorically.

   "Hermione, face reality and stop kidding yourself."

   "If mom knows, you will definitely be mad at me." Ron said quietly.

   "You forgot, she promised not to control us last year." Fred reminded.

   "What surprise?" Harry asked, "Albert's idea?"

   "No, he's busy."

   "What the **** is he up to?" Hermione asked.

   "I don't know." George shrugged.

   "What are you going to do?" Harry was very interested in this.

   "We're going to..." George's voice trailed off.

   "Can it really be done?" Ron asked with wide-eyed eyes.

   "Let's try it first, and then seek technical support if it doesn't work." Fred said without thinking.

   "Count me in," Harry said, "I'll contact Sirius tonight and see if he can give us some advice."

   "Hermione, if you want to pass the O.W.Ls exam, there is actually a very simple way." George suddenly said mysteriously.

   "What way?" Hermione asked, raising her eyebrows.

   "I can help you borrow the Defense Against the Dark Arts notes from Albert. As long as you study those well and learn some spells by yourself, it's actually very easy to get excellent results in the O.W.Ls exam."

  Actually, Hermione herself was too excited and didn't think about it, otherwise, if she asked Albert to borrow notes, the other party would definitely not refuse.

   "Okay, count me in." Hermione agreed to join. She also hated Umbridge very much and would love to see him suffer.

"Welcome."

  Fred and George looked at each other, showing a satisfied smile.

  In the absence of Albert, they need a thoughtful person to ensure that the whole plan is foolproof.
