Chapter 607 Education Order No. 24

A new week has begun. After lunch, Gryffindor students came to the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom with great enthusiasm.

Umbridge is still lying in St. Mungo's Hospital with that toad head, and no one knows which professor will substitute for her.

Everyone thought that this year would be the same as in previous years, with other professors helping to substitute for her. However, when the bell rang, a strange face walked in from outside - a middle-aged man with gray hair, his clothes and hair were meticulously groomed, and he wore a pair of exquisite gold-rimmed glasses on his nose.

"Good afternoon, students."

Just as everyone looked at each other, the man on the podium spoke.

"My name is Pierre Sampson, and I am here to teach you instead of Professor Umbridge." He introduced himself in a cold manner.

"Good afternoon, Professor Sampson."

After hesitating for a moment, everyone responded in a scattered manner.

Fortunately, the new professor was not as picky as Umbridge. He just nodded indifferently and said, "Now, please put away your wands and take out your quills."

There was a cry of grief from the audience.

Although a new professor was replaced, the process of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class did not seem to change.

Although everyone felt very bored, they still followed the instructions, because they had been taught in the same way before.

"Fish, you must not attack this professor again." Hermione whispered to the little cat who had turned into a cat.

"Meow~"

(=ω=)

Fish stood on the table, rubbed his head against Hermione's arm, and responded casually.

If this new professor was not so annoying, he would not bother to do it again. Not only would he be scolded by Professor McGonagall, but there would also be other punishment measures... It was really a loss.

Professor Sampson heard Firsh's meow and looked over here, but he didn't say much, but continued indifferently: "Turn to page 25 of the textbook. You should have learned here in the last class..."

"Fudge won't give up so easily, right?" Hermione covered her cheek with the textbook and said in a low voice.

The person she was chatting with was of course not Firsh who was sleeping on the table, but Hannah Abbott, the head of the Hufflepuff class, who was sitting next to her. To be precise, Hermione should have sat next to Hannah on purpose.

"You are right, Hermione." Hannah sighed and replied in a low voice: "I will compile the list in the next two days and give it to you before the weekend."

Hermione nodded and didn't say anything else, but lowered her head to read the book "Magical Defense Theory" in her hand, which she had already finished reading.

A boring Defense Against the Dark Arts class ended, and the new professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts quickly became a topic among the students.

And by dinner time, well-informed students had already informed everyone of his origins.

Like Umbridge, Pierre Sampson was also assigned by the Ministry of Magic. It is said that he was once an Auror, but later his job was adjusted and he was transferred to the Office of Detection and Confiscation of Counterfeit Defensive Spells and Protective Equipment under the Department of Magical Law Enforcement. Then, after Umbridge was attacked, he came to Hogwarts again...

Obviously, the people sent by the Ministry of Magic this time should still be guaranteed in terms of strength... Although there is not much difference between the two for Firth and Dumbledore who took the blame.

Although Professor Sampson used to be an Auror and is not an amateur in Defense Against the Dark Arts, he is currently still under the command of Cornelius Fudge like Umbridge, so he has not changed his teaching method.

The only thing to be thankful for is that Professor Sampson is not as annoying as Umbridge. Although his attitude is indifferent, he does not have many requirements for students, giving people the feeling of a living Professor Binns.

For Pierre Sampson, teaching at Hogwarts was just a task assigned by the higher-ups.

The situation of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class disappointed everyone, but it also made some students see the Ministry of Magic's ideas clearly. Some students who were still hesitating whether to accept Hermione's invitation made up their minds.

So, during this period, Hermione was busy discussing the duel club with the prefects of various colleges. She even ignored Firth.

She didn't need to be so busy, because she had almost contacted people. She just had to wait for Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw to sort out the lists of their respective colleges, and then go to the library to discuss it.

However, during this period, the Ministry of Magic issued the "Education Order No. 24".

Rather than saying it is an education order, it is better to say it is a bounty order. The content is very simple, just telling the faculty and students of Hogwarts that if they find any suspicious situation, they can notify the Ministry of Magic and there will be a generous reward.

Once this education order was issued, Hermione and the others had to keep their actions secret, and the already determined list had to go through a new round of screening to prevent students from being seduced by the Ministry of Magic.

Having confidence in the affinity of cats is one thing, and being cautious in doing things is another.

On the other hand, Fish, who was ignored, did not feel angry. First, because he knew what Hermione was busy with recently, and secondly...

The little cat has not had a good time recently.

In order to punish the cat for causing such a big trouble, Professor McGonagall asked Fish not to use the shorthand quill that Rita Skeeter gave him to do his homework, and in addition to the usual homework, she would give the cat an extra homework every day.

Professor McGonagall even took the task of supervising Fish's homework back from Hermione. Recently, the cat has completed his homework with Professor McGonagall before returning to the dormitory.

…

"Finally finished it, meow!"

(`Д)

Fish threw the quill in his hand and slumped on the chair. He looked so lazy that he almost slid under the table.

Professor McGonagall looked up and raised her eyebrows in surprise.

"Why did you finish it so quickly today? Are you trying to be naughty again?" She stared at Fish with a warning look.

"No, meow!" The cat kept moving his butt to sit up straight, "Today is Hermione's birthday, and Fish has to go back to celebrate for her, meow!"

(Φ﹃Φ)

The little greedy cat explained to Professor McGonagall with a glimmer on the corner of his mouth.

"Oh..."

Professor McGonagall suddenly realized, she took Fish's homework from him with a smile and checked it carefully.

As long as Fish is a little more serious, Hogwarts' homework is basically not difficult for him. After checking it once, Professor McGonagall found that there were no mistakes, so she put him back.

"Since today is Hermione's birthday, I won't assign you extra homework." Professor McGonagall said, while taking out a small box and handing it to Fish, "This is the birthday gift I prepared for her, you can give it to Hermione for me."

...

"Mibu Mibao." Hermione opened the portrait of the Fat Lady with the password, and then crawled in through the hole in the wall.

She had just returned from the library. After spending so much time, she finally finalized the first batch of personnel list with several other prefects.

The next step was to notify Fish, then set a time, gather everyone together, sign a contract and set a schedule.

Hermione was thinking as she climbed through the hole in the wall and came to the Gryffindor common room.

"Bang!"

As soon as her feet landed, she saw countless ribbons explode in front of her, and then Fish rushed over.

"Hermione~ Happy birthday, meow~"

●ω●

Fish rushed up and gave her a big hug.

"Ah..." Hermione remembered that today was her birthday. She had been busy with the duel club recently and had forgotten it.

However, after a moment of surprise, she soon showed an annoyed look.

After being disrupted by those little witches who were unwilling to give up their birthday parties for two consecutive years, Hermione originally planned to secretly spend her birthday outside with Fish this year.

As a result... he was busy and forgot.

"Hermione?"

(ω)

Fish tilted his head to look at her and waved his hand twice in front of her eyes.

"I'm fine," Hermione came back to her senses, smiled and took Maomao's hand, walked to the center of the common room, and said to the girls around her who came to celebrate her birthday with a fake smile: "Thank you so much!"
