Chapter 594 Review

"I haven't gotten an 'O' in Potions yet!"

Hermione said again indignantly during lunch.

Because Snape said that the grading this time was based on O.W.L., Miss Know-it-all was particularly concerned about this.

Harry, who got a "D", didn't want to talk. Except for the final exam, his Potions grade had never been an "A".

Ron on the other side also couldn't stand Hermione's Versailles and said, "Come on, I only have a 'P'! You have an 'A' which is already very impressive."

"Speaking of which..." Fish asked curiously while eating lunch: "What do these letters mean? Fish only has 'O' and 'E', and has never seen other cats."

Ψ(Φ~Φ)卩

Everyone was silent for a moment, and unanimously decided not to bother with this Versailles cat who was talking without any pain in his waist.

"Meow?"

"Ahem..." Although Hermione was dissatisfied with Snape's partiality, she still explained for the cat: "'O' stands for 'excellent', 'E' stands for..."

She hesitated for a moment, because except for the potions class and the short divination class, Hermione's other grades were basically "O", so she didn't quite know what "E" stood for.

"It's 'exceeding expectations'," George added on the side: "I always feel that Fred and I should get 'E' in every subject, because we are beyond expectations when we take the exam."

The others laughed, and Fish also noticed the pattern of these letters.

"So, it's the first letter pair, meow?" Fish tilted his head and lost interest in this matter instantly.

But Hermione continued to say in his ear: "Then there is 'A', which stands for 'pass', which is the lowest passing line..."

"Then, 'P' is 'poor'," Ron raised his arms and pretended to celebrate, "and then 'D', which stands for 'terrible'."

"There is also 'T' behind it," George reminded him.

"'T'?" Hermione asked, obviously startled. "Is it lower than 'D'? What does 'T' stand for?"

"'Troll'." George said without hesitation, causing another round of laughter.

Then they talked about the new senior inquisitor Umbridge, whom George and Fred met in the Charms class.

"How was it?" Harry and Hermione asked at the same time, and even the cat raised its head curiously.

"Not bad." Fred shrugged and said, "Umbridge just huddled in the corner, constantly taking notes on the writing board. She didn't say much, just asked Alia a few questions and asked what the class was like."

"Strange meow..."

(ω)

Fish scratched his head in confusion, feeling that the development of things was not what he imagined...

If the Ministry of Magic didn't want them to learn how to fight, shouldn't they make trouble for these professors? Especially for practical courses such as Transfiguration and Charms.

"What's so strange?" George looked at the cat in confusion, "Flitwick teaches very well, he always makes everyone pass the exam."

Fish felt that there was nothing to hide, so he told Fudge's thoughts and his own guesses.

And Hermione did not stop him. She was going to contact other students and privately restart the duel club, so that everyone could be mentally prepared.

After listening to Fish's story, the surroundings suddenly became quiet. Except for Harry and others who already knew the situation, everyone had a ridiculous look on their faces.

"This is probably the funniest joke I've heard this year..." Fred shook his head and said sarcastically, "How did Fudge graduate from school? He should have only gotten 'T' in all his subjects, right?"

Harry followed Fitch's line of thought and said, "Yes, if Fudge wanted to stop us from 'forming an army', he should have deliberately targeted Professor Flitwick."

"Maybe he also needs a sufficient reason?" Fred guessed, "Not all the people in the Ministry of Magic are Fudge's people."

"Yes," Hermione also remembered the content of the newspaper she read in the morning, "For example, Griselda Marchbank and Tiberius Ogden, didn't they resign because they protested against the appointment of an investigator to Hogwarts? Although I think it was more like Fudge forced them."

Soon, the real reason why the Ministry of Magic sent senior investigators to Hogwarts spread from Gryffindor to other colleges. After hearing such a ridiculous reason, even Slytherin laughed and complained.

Lunch ended in such a noisy atmosphere. Harry and others packed up their things and surrounded Firsh to the north tower to prepare for the divination class, while Hermione separated from them to go to her arithmetic divination class.

Not long after Firsh and others found their seats in the dim divination classroom, the trap door on the floor opened again, and the short and fat Umbridge squeezed in from below.

The students who were talking and laughing suddenly fell silent. Professor Trelawney, who was walking around distributing the "Dream Interpretation Guide", heard the voices in the classroom suddenly lowered, so she turned around.

"Good afternoon, Professor Trelawney," Umbridge was smiling again, "I believe you must have received my notice? It says to check the time and date of your class."

Professor Trelawney nodded with a stern face, looking very unhappy, turned her back to Umbridge, and continued to distribute textbooks.

Umbridge didn't care, she moved a chair to sit next to the podium, then took out a writing board from her fancy bag, and waited for Professor Trelawney to start the class with a fake smile.

Professor Trelawney handed out the books, and then asked everyone to continue to work in pairs to interpret each other's dreams, while she, as usual, came to sit next to Fish with a teapot.

"So, have you still had that dream recently, Fish?"

"Yes, meow!" The cat replied, "I dreamed of her last night!"

(ω)

Fish seemed very excited when talking about the big tree in his dream, and he planned to go to the forbidden forest in the evening to try whether his patronus had changed.

"Ahem, ahem." Just when Fish was chatting happily, Umbridge, who had walked around the classroom, came over. "Sorry to bother you." She said in a coquettish voice, "Can I ask you a few questions, Mr. McGonagall?"

"What do you want to ask?"

(ω)

The interrupted Maomao stared at her toad face with dissatisfaction, and Professor Trelawney, who was originally smiling and listening to Fish telling her dream, also frowned again.

"A few simple questions," Umbridge smiled and ignored him, "What do you think of the Divination class? Do you like Professor Trelawney's class?"

"It's pretty good, Fish likes it very much." Maomao shook her ears and told the truth, "Sybill's dream interpretation is very accurate! But she always likes to scare Harry."

Umbridge was slightly stunned, looked at Professor Trelawney in surprise, and then wrote a few words on the writing board.

Then she asked Trelawney: "So, how long have you been in this position, exactly?"

"Almost sixteen years." Professor Trelawney seemed to dislike her questioning tone, so her attitude was rather stiff.

Umbridge naturally pretended not to see it as usual. She then asked a few more ordinary questions, and Professor Trelawney answered them with a straight face.

"Well, I wonder if you can predict something for me, huh?" Umbridge suddenly said.

"I don't understand what you mean." Professor Trelawney frowned deeply, as if she thought the request was rude.

"I hope you can make a prediction for me." Professor Umbridge said clearly.

Professor Trelawney's face showed anger, and when she was about to refuse, she felt someone beside her pulling her robe.

"Sybil, are you going to interpret Umbridge's dream or do tea leaf divination?"

(ω)

When Professor Trelawney looked down at herself, Fish winked at her quietly.

Since he knew that Umbridge was here to cause trouble for the professors, Fish would naturally not let the two of them clash.

Although it was unclear why Fish did this, Professor Trelawney chose to believe Fish without any surprise. She suppressed her anger and guilt, looked at Umbridge, and asked dryly: "What do you think? Or do you want to use other methods to divination?"

"Can't you predict directly?" Umbridge smiled amiably, raised her eyebrows and asked: "Didn't you inherit Cassandra Trelawney's second sight?"

"Divination is not such a casual thing, and the third eye is not easily used." Professor Trelawney said calmly.

After being reminded by the cat, she regained her composure and found her pretentious skills.

Although Umbridge still didn't think Professor Trelawney was that advanced, she was too lazy to waste time on it. She glanced at the brass teapot on the table and said softly, "Then let's do tea divination. What do you need me to do?"

"Miss Patil, please bring me a teacup. I want the fourth one on the left in the third row." Professor Trelawney said slowly.

Parvati immediately stood up, ran to the cabinet beside her, took the cup, and placed it on the small round table where Fish was sitting.

Professor Trelawney filled it with tea and pushed it in front of Umbridge, saying lightly, "Drink until only the tea leaves are left, then shake the tea leaves in the cup three times with your left hand, and then turn the cup upside down on the tray."

Umbridge did it impatiently.

When the tea was drained, Professor Trelawney took the teacup directly from Umbridge, then lowered her head and carefully examined it.

At this moment, Fish quietly reached out his hand under the table and cast a tranquilizing spell on Trelawney.

When I read HP, I was very puzzled. Since it was to target Dumbledore and prevent students from becoming stronger, what was the point of removing Trelawney and Hagrid?

Divination and Care of Magical Creatures are both elective courses, and they cannot enhance their own strength. Moreover, the level of these two professors is among the worst. After removing them, no one was sent from the Ministry of Magic to take their place, and Dumbledore was still asked to find new professors…

It was completely withdrawn for nothing.

And the grading standard of Hogwarts… Anyway, it was still a score system in the first part. Hermione said that her Charms class had 112 points. According to her setting in terms of grades, I guess it was a 120-point system.

And in the original book, Hermione didn't know how many specific scores there were, which was quite abnormal… To be honest, with Hermione's personality, she should have figured out all the grading situations long ago, instead of finding out from the twins in the fifth grade.

In addition, I think "T" should stand for "terrible". Of course, trolls are not impossible, after all, it is a magical world.

But in that case, a single troll is a bit unsystematic. If the previous achievements are also represented by magical creatures, it feels more in line with the setting of the magical world.
