Chapter 593: Senior Investigator of Hogwarts

A new week has begun. The school hall is as noisy as usual. Everyone is eating breakfast and chatting about trivial topics.

Harry and Ron both look sleepy, as if they may fall asleep at any time.

Last night, after Sirius left, they did not go to bed immediately, but finished the remaining homework before returning to the dormitory, so the two did not sleep for a few hours in total.

They are not like Fish and Hermione, who can quickly restore their energy in the cat state, so it is natural to feel sleepy.

"It seems that you seem to need a little help."

George and Fred came up and took the opportunity to sell their skipping candy to the two.

Harry ignored them, but Ron was a little tempted, but thinking of the thickness of his wallet, he finally sighed helplessly and gave up the idea.

While eating, Fish didn't pay much attention to other things, but when he heard Hermione's exclamation in his ears, the cat still put down the knife and fork in his hand and looked over.

"What's wrong, meow, Hermione?"

(~)

Fish chewed the food in his mouth and asked vaguely.

At this time, Hermione was holding the latest issue of the Daily Prophet, with a look of shock and anger on her face.

And the voices of other classmates who were either exclaiming or cursing came from all around.

"Umbridge has been appointed as a senior investigator!" Hermione knew that Fish didn't like reading, so she read the content of the newspaper to him directly, "In an impromptu action last night, the Ministry of Magic passed a new decree, which brought its control over Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to an unprecedented level..."

"Hmm..." Cat tilted his head and pondered for a moment, "What do you mean?"

ω

After Hermione read such a long string, Fish understood that the Ministry of Magic passed something called "Educational Order No. 23" and made Umbridge a senior investigator who he didn't know what it was.

"To put it simply, she will review the professors on behalf of the Ministry of Magic." Hermione explained.

"What happens after the review?"

"Uh...will it affect the professors' appointment?" Hermione said uncertainly: "For example, replace a professor in the school."

"Including Minerva?" Fish's eyes became dangerous.

"Minerva is the vice-president and the head of Gryffindor, and her teaching ability is obvious to all. The Ministry of Magic should have no excuse to replace her..." Hermione said hesitantly.

However, at this time, Mao Mao's mind suddenly became bright.

If Fudge really doesn't want them to learn how to fight, then professors with strong teaching ability like Professor McGonagall are the ones that the Ministry of Magic wants to replace the most.

Even if Umbridge can't find any excuse to replace Professor McGonagall as Hermione said, there will definitely be a lot of conflicts between them.

Although Fish himself doesn't like to attend classes, he also knows that Professor McGonagall treats students very seriously and responsibly. She has irreconcilable conflicts with Umbridge, or more precisely, with the Ministry of Magic.

It seems... the plan to secretly beat Umbridge up should be put on the agenda soon.

The cat chewed the sheep bones in its mouth with a crunching sound, thinking secretly in its heart.

"We have to go," while everyone was still discussing the content of the newspaper, Hermione jumped up and reminded: "If Umbridge wants to check Binns's class, we can't be late..."

The students who had classes in the morning were startled, and hurriedly stopped discussing, packed up their things and ran to their respective classrooms.

Umbridge did not appear in the classroom of History of Magic, and Professor Binns' class was as sleepy as always. The cat naturally got into the desk and started to sleep at the first time. Harry and Ron also took this opportunity to make up for their sleep. Most of the other students were either sleeping or doing their own things. Anyway, few of them listened to the class seriously.

In the next Potions class, Umbridge still did not appear. Snape handed out the corrected homework while spitting venom at the students... mainly the Gryffindor students.

"This is the grade you'll get if you hand in something like this in your O.W.L. exams," Snape said with a sneer. "That should give you a clear idea of ​​what to expect."

Snape walked to the front of the room and turned to face the students.

"The overall standard of this homework is terrible. If it were an exam, most of you would fail. I hope you can work harder on your papers on different types of antidotes this week, otherwise I will have to give detention to those idiots who got a 'D'."

He was full of sneers, and Malfoy sneered softly, saying in a small but far-reaching voice: "Anyone else got a 'D'? Ha!"

"Fish, what did you get?" Hermione asked quietly.

"It's 'O' meow." Fish shook his ears and asked casually, "Hermione, what about you?"

ω

"... 'A'," she said unconvincedly, "This is unfair! Professor Snape is too partial to you!"

It's not like she hasn't seen Fish's homework before, it's not much different from what she wrote, and she has an advantage in writing level. Why did Fish get an "O" while she only got an "A"!

"Because Fish and Severus are good friends." Maomao shook his head and said, not thinking there was anything wrong with Snape favoring him...

Isn't this a matter of course?

"Humph!" Hermione turned away angrily.

She also knew that this was not Fei Xu’s fault, but she just couldn’t get angry!

"Chirp."

=(Φ3Φ)

Fish quickly leaned over and kissed Hermione on the cheek.

"Are you feeling better, nya?"

"Uh... um..." Hermione had no time to be angry in an instant, lowering her head and responded in a low voice.

Snape's mouth twitched as he watched the interaction between the two. After thinking about it, he simply pretended that he didn't see it and began to assign homework for this class.

"The potion we are going to prepare today is an enhancer." Snape tapped the blackboard with his wand, which immediately displayed the enhancer formula and detailed preparation steps, "Who can tell me its use... Potter. "

He ignored Hermione, who had her hands raised, and called Harry's name.

"It's used to...increase the drinker's...strength?"

Harry struggled to recall the knowledge about enhancers and answered stutteringly.

"Five points from Gryffindor," Snape snorted and said, "That's too hesitant to answer! This is second-year knowledge! I think it's better for you to go back and re-study the second-year class to save money. You get another 'D' on your assignment this week...sit down, Potter."

Immediately there was a low but clear laugh from the Slytherin side.

Harry sat back with a blush. He didn't expect that even if he got the answer right, he would be ridiculed and deducted points by Snape, and he would also be revealed to be the one who got a "D" for the assignment.

Ron patted his arm gently and gave him a comforting look.

Harry pursed his lips tightly and made up his mind that Snape would never be able to catch him and fail this class again. He read the instructions on the blackboard at least three times before starting to operate.

After some careful operation, Harry successfully prepared a bottle of light blue enhancer... Although it was still somewhat different from the green ones of Fish and Hermione, it was still of high quality compared to other students. A good portion.

Neville even made the potion pink, and Seamus nearly missed his homework when his cauldron exploded again.

Of course, Snape still did not forget his original intention and found a lot of faults with Harry's potion. But fortunately, he didn't clean up all his potions like last week.

After the potions class ended, Fish deliberately fell behind. After everyone else left, he immediately ran in front of Snape.

"Severus, is the potion ready?"
