Chapter 215: Dolores Umbridge

With the announcement of the new teacher of the magical animal protection class, the chattering in the hall reappeared.
Especially on the long table of Slytherin, several Slytherin "new classmates" around Jon had already got together.
"She's Fudge's!" Draco Malfoy bent down and whispered, "That Dolores Umbridge... She is Connelly Fudge's confidant..."
"I remember the name, is she Alford Umbridge, the former dumb cleaner of the Ministry of Magic, he and a Muggle daughter!" Pansy Parkinson also asked in a low voice.
"Yes, it's her!" Malfoy gave a mocking smile: "Although she has never recognized this relationship, and insists that she is from the Selwyn family!"
"I don't remember the Selwyn family having such ugly monsters!" Tiffany Selwyn, who was sitting next to Astoria Greengrass, glanced at the teacher's bench with some disdain, and then lowered her head.
"But my father told me that it's better to have a good relationship with her this semester!" Malfoy glanced around carefully: "Because the Ministry of Magic is about to do something to Hogwarts this semester, the appearance of this woman is a sign... …"
"Does that mean the Dark Devil..." Sean Avery also whispered, but halfway through his words, he glanced at Jon with some worry.
"Christopher is from Durmstrand!" Malfoy nodded to him: "He is a trusted friend!"
Jon was flattered, and nodded quickly.
Little Avery glanced at Jon suspiciously, and did not continue.
"Am I infiltrating the enemy?" Jon thought secretly in his heart.
The second generation of Death Eaters and some Slytherin students seemed to form a small group.
What made him more gratified was that the two sisters of Greengrass were not members of this small group, and they didn't even look here.
...
Albus Dumbledore on the faculty bench continued: "The selection of the college Quidditch team will be..."
A series of dry coughs suddenly interrupted Dumbledore's speech.
Dumbledore was stunned, and he looked at Professor Umbridge with questioning eyes.
At this time, only the pink toad cleared his throat:
"Can I say a few words, principal?"
Her voice was high and sharp, like a girl's voice; but it was just the tone, and the tone was actually very, very offensive.
A look of surprise appeared on Dumbledore's face for a moment, but he immediately sat down and looked at Professor Umbridge intently, as if he couldn't wait to hear her.
The faces of other teachers are not so good... Professor Sprout’s eyebrows almost jumped into her wavy hair, Professor McGonagall squeezed his mouth tightly, Professor Snape's face was dark and low. Come on...
No professor had dared to interrupt the principal's speech before, and the newcomer obviously didn't understand Hogwarts' rules.
"Thank you, principal!" Umbridge continued with a smirk and said, "Well, I have to say, it is great to be able to return to Hogwarts to become a teacher... to see these happy little ones Looking at me with my face up, it's great...I eagerly hope to get to know you all as soon as possible. I believe we will become good friends..."
She grinned and laughed like a barbell, showing her pointed teeth.
But then, her tone suddenly changed...From the previous "girl voice", it was like using a voice changer, suddenly it became an extremely severe aunt's voice:
"The Ministry of Magic has always believed that educating young wizards is a very important thing..."
"...The ancient skills unique to the magical world must be passed on from generation to generation, otherwise they will disappear..."
"...The practice of making progress for the sake of progress should never be encouraged. Our tradition has been tempered through thousands of ways and does not require clumsy correction..."
"...We must resolutely maintain what should be maintained, perfect what needs to be perfected, and discard those we should prohibit."
A ten-minute speech is actually very bad.
At least most Hogwarts students have no intention of listening to Umbridge’s terrible speech. Some of them are whispering and whispering, some are secretly looking at newspapers and magazines, and some are trying to pretend to listen carefully...
Jon was also trying to pretend to be listening carefully, looking in a daze, but in fact he was really listening.
At the same time, Jon’s Yu Guang also noticed some details on the faculty bench: For example, Professor McGonagall and Professor Sprout exchanged a meaningful glance, and Professor Moody’s magic eyes have been staring at Umbridge up and down. Wandering around, and Professor Dumbledore secretly ate a chocolate pudding on Umbridge, taking advantage of the attention of others...
As the last paragraph ended, Professor Dumbledore began to applaud first; other teachers and students also began to applaud, but the applause was scattered.
"Thank you very much, Professor Umbridge. Your speech is very enlightening." Dumbledore owed Umbridge and continued: "The selection of the college Quidditch team will be... "
...
Jon wasn't interested in knowing when Quidditch's selection would begin, which had little to do with him.
As Professor Dumbledore announced the dissolution of the school's teachers and students, there was a clash of tables and chairs around, and everyone stood up to leave the auditorium.
Jon pretended to be thinking about something, and after staying in the hall and waiting for a while, he found that there was no ghost or portrait to bring him a message and tell him to go to Dumbledore's office.
So he stood up with confidence and followed the crowd out of the hall.
"Little guys~EbookFREE.me~ here..." Draco Malfoy was there with Pansy Parkinson, directing the assembly of the first-year freshmen. He nodded to Jon and continued. Go busy.
Jon wanted to find Crabbe and Gore to take them back to the Slytherin common room. After all, they needed a password to enter the common room.
However, the two stupid men were gone, probably after listening to Umbridge’s speech, Dumbledore ran away as soon as he announced it.
At this time, a girl seemed to notice him.
"Are you the exchange student?" she asked softly.
Jon was taken aback, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he nodded.
"You don't know where our common room is yet!" said the girl who looked a little bigger than Jon: "Come with me!"
Then she turned around and added: "My name is Greengrass, Daphne Greengrass."
