Harry Potter: The Path of Destiny

Chapter 294 Defense Against the Dark Arts Theory Course

Draco didn't say anything after the whole ancient runes class. He kept staring at his textbook, but this didn't mean that he was reading seriously. In fact, he was just in a daze.

"Do you care about what Hermione said?" Nydia asked the sullen Draco after the class. "You looked absent-minded the whole class."

"No, I just think these complicated runes look a bit dizzying." Draco's eyes flickered, and he quickly changed the subject, trying to hide his emotions, "What's your next class?"

"Defense Against the Dark Arts! I don't know how well our teacher assigned by the Ministry of Magic will teach." Nidia was worried about this course. "I don't expect her to be better than Professor Lupin, but at least not better than Professor Lupine." Hart can be worse!"

"How about we meet in the library tonight? I have received several papers to write, and I think going to the library to look up some information will be helpful for these papers." Draco stopped, because At this point, he and Nitya would go in different directions.

Nydia nodded happily and said goodbye to Draco before walking towards the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom on the second floor.

Originally, Nydia didn't have much expectations for this course, and the pink aunt didn't look like a very powerful character. She thought that as long as she was no worse than Lockhart, that was enough. She had no requirements, but the reality told her that no, there really was something worse than Lockhart. Not only were Lockhart's classes worse, but the person was more annoying than Lockhart.

Umbridge's class is similar to Lockhart's class, that is, they don't need a wand. All they need to do is read the book carefully. Returning to basic principles is the purpose of Umbridge's class. She believes that as long as the theory is If you have learned very solid knowledge, there is no reason why you cannot cast the spell during the exam. In other words, if you really fail to cast the spell, it must be because your theoretical study is not solid enough.

Her actions aroused dissatisfaction among most people in the class, especially Harry, who angrily argued with Umbridge, even though Hermione had repeatedly reminded him not to continue talking, but he Still, he spoke out all the words he had suppressed in his heart.

"What role does theory play in the real world? If we are not prepared, how will we meet what is waiting outside!" Harry said loudly.

"Nothing is waiting outside, Mr. Potter." Umbridge said softly in her suppressed little girl tone, "Who would attack children like you!"

"Really? Let me think about it..." Harry paused pretending to think, "Maybe... Voldemort!"

As soon as Harry's words came out, there were exclamations all around, and Neville even fell off his seat. However, Umbridge was not surprised. Instead, she smiled with satisfaction, as if she had said so much before. Just to elicit Harry's words.

She first deducted ten points from Gryffindor, and then said preparedly, "Let me make a few things clear. Someone told you that a certain dark wizard has been resurrected. This is nonsense. The Ministry of Magic guarantees You will not encounter any danger from any dark wizards. If someone tries to scare you with lies about the resurrection of dark wizards, I am willing to listen to them. I am always ready to help you. I am your friend."

As soon as Umbridge finished speaking, Harry stood up excitedly, "According to your statement, Cedric fell down and died on his own!" Harry's voice trembled slightly.

Everyone took a breath again. That night, no one except Harry actually saw how Cedric died. Although Dumbledore told everyone afterwards that Cedric died at the hands of Voldemort, but after After two months of brainwashing by the Ministry of Magic and the Daily Prophet during the summer vacation, everyone has once again begun to have various suspicions about the cause of Cedric's death.

"The death of Cedric Diggory was an unfortunate accident." Umbridge finally became less calm.

"It was murder! Voldemort killed him! Right in front of me." Harry shouted excitedly.

For a moment, Umbridge seemed to finally burst out her emotions, but in the end she endured it. Her fake smile once again appeared on her face. She walked to the podium and wrote a note, and then He called Harry to him in a cooing voice, handed him the note, and asked him to take it to Professor McGonagall.

Harry walked out of the classroom without saying a word and closed the door heavily with his backhand.

"Okay, now we can continue our course. Please turn the book to the fifth page of 'Basic Principles of Getting Started'."

At this time, Nydia raised her hand, and Umbridge's expression changed. She didn't expect that after she punished Harry, there would be students asking questions.

"What's your name?" Umbridge looked at Nydia.

"My name is Nydia Field, professor! I have a question!" Nydia looked at Umbridge with confusion on her face. "If Cedric was not murdered, then who is responsible for his death? Is it the Ministry of Magic, which organizes the Triwizard Tournament?"

"I said, it was just an unfortunate accident, it was not the Ministry of Magic's negligence!" Umbridge looked a little angry.

"That means that even if we are in school, even if there are Ministry of Magic personnel around us, we may still encounter some unforeseen accidents, and we will still need to face danger. What will we do when that happens? How to deal with these accidents? Rely on theoretical knowledge?" Nidia tried to sound naive and innocent.

"It's a dangerous game, so there are accidents. There won't be such accidents at other times. I don't think any of you need to worry about it." Umbridge was already starting to get a little impatient. , she felt that Nitya was following her in circles.

"Then why does the Ministry of Magic hold such a dangerous competition that she can't control?" Nidia still kept her innocent smile.

"Are you questioning the Ministry of Magic's decision?" Umbridge stared at Nydia coldly.

"Question? Of course not, I just have some questions that I hope you can answer, because if these questions are not answered, I am afraid that others will question the Ministry of Magic. And I think you used to work in the Ministry of Magic. It is up to you to answer this question. This is a perfect question. If anyone questions the Ministry of Magic like this in front of me in the future, I can answer them with your answer." Nydia pretended to be horrified, as if her kindness had been betrayed by Umbridge. misunderstood.

"In class! No more questions unrelated to the course are allowed!" Umbridge's voice trembled a little, her hands were clenched tightly, then she turned and walked back to the podium, "Open the book now! Page five! No one is allowed to ask any more questions!”

"You made her unable to answer!" Michelle whispered to Nitya with a smile, her tone revealing pride.

"Another five points from Gryffindor!"

Because the classroom was too quiet, even though Michelle had lowered her voice, Umbridge still heard her. For this reason, Nydia glared at Michelle angrily, feeling that she had managed to ignore her. The situation that was regained was ruined again.

When the two boring Defense Against the Dark Arts classes finally ended, all the students evacuated the classroom as if they were running away.

"I'm even starting to miss Lockhart now! It's the same as studying, but at least his stories are interesting. Compared with Umbridge's fake smile, Lockhart is definitely qualified to win the most charming smile award! "Nitya couldn't help but roll her eyes as soon as she walked out of the classroom.

"I heard that he is now in St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Maladies! Do you want to visit him?" Michelle said jokingly.

Nidia was silent for a while, then shook her head and said, "Forget it! It will be more suitable for him there."

"You know what! I think Umbridge deliberately led Harry to say those words, so that she could humiliate Harry in public and make everyone think that he was lying even more!" Hermione said angrily.

"But Harry did what she wanted! Her plan succeeded!" Nidia sighed helplessly, "Harry will suffer a loss if he can't control his emotions anymore."

"To be honest, I think what you just said was unwise! She will probably put you in solitary confinement too!" Hermione warned Nydia.

"I have my own sense of proportion. Umbridge will not easily embarrass me, because she will not want to offend my father. He has funded many projects in the Ministry of Magic, and now he is also a member of the Wizengamot. One member!" Nitya said easily.

"Oh! Rich people always get preferential treatment, right?" Ron frowned, "This world is really fair!"

"We did receive some special care, but we didn't use the money to do any bad things, right?" Nitya said.

Ron couldn't answer, and Hermione on the side said, "Let's go see how Harry is doing quickly! He must be in a terrible mood now."
