Chapter 596 They Still Have to Thank Us!

When Firth staggered to the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom, the class had already begun. Umbridge, like last week, let the students study by themselves while she sat on the podium in a daze.

However, unlike last week when she was smiling amiably, Umbridge looked a little dazed at this moment.

In fact, when she was in the Divination classroom before, Umbridge gradually came to her senses after she retreated to the side tremblingly...

She was indeed fooled by the joint performance of Professor Trelawney and Firth at first, but soon, she began to doubt whether this was Trelawney's own performance.

Although she had never heard of magic that could make her body glow, it would not be too difficult to create it if she put in some effort.

After all, one of Umbridge's hobbies was to invent some spells and magic props to torture people, and she had achieved considerable success.

However, Professor Trelawney had both hands on the table at that time, and she did not see her holding a wand, so Umbridge could not be sure whether she was deceived.

Although it is possible to cast spells without a wand and silently, those who can do this are all powerful wizards. It seems unreasonable for such powerful wizards to use such tricks to deceive people.

Moreover, Trelawney's great-grandmother Cassandra is indeed a famous prophet, which even Umbridge cannot easily ignore.

As for the fact that Firsh was left alone, Umbridge did not pay much attention to it. She had been in Hogwarts for a week and knew how favored the cat-eared boy was...

Even her previous plan to use Firsh to attack Dumbledore was suppressed by Minister Fudge.

So Umbridge was actually more inclined to believe in the prophecy, but she was holding a little bit of luck in her heart. She planned to be more careful recently and see if the prophecy made by Professor Trelawney for herself was accurate...

"The most annoying thing..." Umbridge muttered to herself, not quite sure what it was talking about.

There were so many things she hated, such as her muggle mother and brother, her father who used to be in charge of cleaning at the Ministry of Magic, her colleagues who gossiped about her, Dumbledore and his followers who opposed the Ministry of Magic, and...

"Report meow!"

(ΦωΦ)

Fish, wearing a pair of cat ears, pushed the door open, and the furry cat tail behind him was still swinging unconsciously.

For example, these disgusting half-human, half-beasts!

Umbridge's eyes flashed with disgust. She didn't care whether the other party was some kind of magical creature or a natural Animagus. As long as she saw someone with a different appearance from normal people, she felt uncomfortable all over!

However, Minister Fudge's instructions helped her overcome her discomfort. She put on a fake smile again and said in a coquettish voice, "Go back to your seat, Mr. McGonagall."

"Although this time it was because Professor Trelawney had something to do, I hope you can still come to class on time in the future..." She pointed to the people who were drowsy from reading books below, and said with open eyes: "You disturbed everyone's study."

"I know, meow!"

()

Fish responded casually, then trotted to Hermione's side, then turned into a cat and jumped onto the desk next to her, squinting his eyes and began to doze off.

Umbridge's expression froze, and she forced her eyes away. Then she clapped her hands and said to the others in a pinched voice: "Okay, please continue reading the second chapter of "Magical Defense Theory", the theory of general defense and its origin. This is the key knowledge and will definitely be tested in the O.W.L. exam."

Two boring dark magic defense classes passed slowly in the low snoring of Firth. After Umbridge left, everyone walked to the Great Hall together while discussing with complaints.

Hermione looked at the people who were discussing enthusiastically and nodded with satisfaction... I think there should be many members participating in the duel club she will organize later.

In fact, her plan has been almost formulated, and she has contacted several senior class leaders. They all showed great enthusiasm for this matter. The problem that bothers them now is that it is difficult to arrange the time, and what to do if someone tells on the secret after there are too many people.

Hermione doesn't think that relying on Firth's affinity can solve everything. Even if no one intends to tell on the secret, what if one or two people with a loose mouth leak it out?

So she planned to find time to discuss countermeasures with several prefects she had contacted, and by the way, finalize the list of the first batch of people to join.

"Hey! Fox? Why are you here?"

(≧≦)

Just as Hermione was thinking, she suddenly heard the cheerful voice of Fish beside her.

"Li--"

Fox, who teleported to Fish's side, made a long cry like singing, landed on his shoulder, and then pecked Fish's cat ears gently.

"Is Albus back? Let Fish go to him tonight? That's perfect! Fish dreamed of the big tree again last night, and planned to go to the forbidden forest tonight to see if there are any changes!"

Fish turned his ears to avoid Fish's beak, and replied with a giggle.

Fox played with Fish for a while before disappearing with a snap.

"Let's go eat, Fish is hungry meow..."

=(ω)

Mao Mao rubbed his rumbling stomach, pulled Hermione and ran out of the classroom.

When the two came to the Great Hall hand in hand, while greeting others, and walked to the long table of Gryffindor, they saw George and Fred sitting there dejected.

Harry, Ron, Ginny and their friend Lee Jordan were comforting the two, while the other Gryffindors were watching the excitement with laughter.

"What's wrong with you meow?"

ω

Fish came over curiously.

"They want to return the goods..." George said with a sad face.

"Our skipping candy was cracked by the professors as soon as it was launched." Fred, who also had a sad face, continued to explain.

In fact, the twins had long expected that their skipping candy would be cracked by the professors, so they developed skipping candies with different effects from the beginning.

Currently, only the coma candy has been cracked. They also have nasal blood sugar, rash candy, and vomiting candy, fever candy and other types that are still being perfected and have not been released yet...

But the professors cracked it too quickly, which made the twins completely lose confidence in the remaining candies.

"Oh... so that's it..."

(ω)

Fisch scratched his head with a guilty conscience.

This shouldn't have anything to do with him... should...

After all, he just told Professor McGonagall about the first-year students' condition after eating the candy, and the smell of several potions he smelled from the candy, and he didn't hand in the finished skipping candy...

And Hermione, who knew the details, would naturally not betray the cat, and she had disliked the twins' product from the beginning, so she said gloatingly: "It's what they deserve!"

But after laughing at the twins, she still asked curiously: "Since they want to return the goods, why don't you return the money to them? Anyway, you sell more than skipping candy, why are you so sad?"

"They have no money..." Ron scratched his head and smiled bitterly: "Except for the money for purchasing materials, the rest of the money was used to buy me a broomstick..."

"Uh... Feishi can lend you money, just like last year." The guilty cat took the initiative to say.

"Ah, that's not necessary," Fred shrugged and said, "Harry has already paid part of it for us, and the rest of the people haven't urged us to pay it back."

"It's just..." George sighed, "Our store is a bit in danger..."

Trudging candy is one of the twins' main products this year. They invested a lot of money in it, but now they are losing a lot of money. They originally planned to raise enough money to buy a store at school this year.

"Who asked you to develop this kind of prop?"

Hermione rolled her eyes and didn't sympathize with them at all.

She felt that the twins deserved it. Even if Fash hadn't let it slip, the professors would not have ignored it. It was only a matter of time before it was cracked. Maybe they would have to pay more by then.

Thinking about it this way...they should thank Fash!

...Recommendation ticket monthly ticket

According to the description of this part of the original book, Harry and his classmates' Defense Against the Dark Arts class only had two consecutive classes on Monday afternoons a week, and elective courses such as Care of Magical Creatures and Divination were divided into two or three days...

However, according to Fudge's stupid idea, it is not impossible to cut courses...but generally speaking, it is still not very reasonable.

Of course, it is also possible that Umbridge took several classes to teach the first chapter, because a month later, she only taught the third chapter...┑(￣Д￣)┍
