Chapter 891 Humiliation
In fact, Hagrid's lessons were not that bad, at least for now, but Hagrid's teaching had to be interrupted again.
Umbridge is here. She was standing a few feet away from Harry, again in her green cap and gown, her clipboard at the ready. Hagrid had never heard Umbridge's fake cough before. He stared at the nearest Yeqi with concern, obviously thinking that it made that sound.
That's a little Yeqi, maybe it's a little uncomfortable?
"Uh huh... huh..." Umbridge and Xiao Yeqi made noises together, but Hagrid figured out this time that someone was making the noise.
"Oh hello!" said Hagrid, smiling, finding the source of the voice.
For Hagrid's size, Umbridge, who is no taller than Hermione, would be too difficult to spot, if she weren't wearing such terrible clothes.
"Did you get the note I sent to your cabin this morning?" Umbridge said, in the same loud, slow voice as last time, as if she was talking to some foreign, very slow person. "Told you that I would be coming to inspect your class?"
"Ah yes," Hagrid said cheerfully. "I'm so glad you found this place! So, as you can see...oh, sorry, I didn't know...can you? We're studying Umbridge today—"
"Sorry?" Umbridge said loudly, cupping her hands to her ears and frowning. "What did you say?"
Hagrid looked confused.
"Ye Qi!" he said loudly. "The big... er... winged horses, you know!" He flapped his huge arms hopefully.
Umbridge raised her eyebrows, muttering as she made notes on her clipboard. "'Need...recourse to...poor...sign language...'"
"Well... anyway..." Hagrid said, turning back to his class, looking a little flustered. "Um...where did I just say that?"
"'Looks like...having...a bad...short...term...memory...'" Umbridge muttered, loud enough for everyone to hear.
Pansy looked as if Christmas had arrived a month early; Hermione, on the other hand, turned scarlet and suppressed her anger.
This startled Fanlin, but this was within Umbridge's normal scope of authority, at least for now.
"Oh, right," Hagrid said, glancing uncomfortably at Umbridge's clipboard before continuing with difficulty.
"By the way, I was about to tell you why we also have a group. Yes, well, we started with one male and five females. This one," he changed, patting the first one that appeared, "is called Wuwu, he is my favorite, the first one born in this forest——"
"Are you aware," Umbridge interrupted loudly, "that the Ministry of Magic has classified Ye Qi as a 'dangerous animal'?"
Harry's heart sank like a stone, but Hagrid just smiled.
"Ye Qi is not dangerous! Indeed, if you anger them, they will bite you..."
"'Being...happy...at the thought of...violence...'" Umbridge continued, underestimating herself while taking notes on her clipboard.
"No...really!" Hagrid was a little anxious now. "Dogs can bite if you piss them off, can't they - but Ye Qi just has a bad reputation, just because of death - people always think of them as bad omens, don't they? They just You don’t understand, do you?”
With doubts, Hagrid looked at Umbridge hopefully.
But Umbridge didn't answer; she wrote her last notes, then looked up at Hagrid and said, again very loudly and slowly, "Please continue with the lessons as usual. I'll go for a walk."
She made a walking gesture... Malfoy and his dog-legged brothers snickered...
"Among the students"...she pointed to individual members of the class..."ask them some questions." She pointed to her mouth to speak. Hagrid stared at her, obviously completely confused as to why she acted as if she thought he didn't understand normal English.
Hermione's eyes were filled with angry tears now. "Witch, you evil witch!" she whispered as Umbridge walked towards Slytherin. Hermione was still cursing. Obviously, Umbridge had brought enough resentment to the girl.
Maybe you should take Hermione with you when you leave...
"I know what you are doing, you are ugly, perverted and vicious..."
"Well... anyway," Hagrid said, clearly trying to get back into his teaching routine, "so... Yeqi. Yeah. Well, they have a lot of advantages..."
"Do you think," Professor Umbridge said to Pansy in her loud voice, "that you can understand Professor Hagrid when he talks?" Like Hao Min, Pansy also had tears in her eyes, but these were Tears of laughter; indeed, her answers were almost incoherent as she tried to stifle a giggle.
"No... because... well... it sounds like grunting a lot of the time..." Umbridge scribbled on her clipboard.
The small part of Hagrid's face that wasn't bruised turned red, but he tried to act like he hadn't heard Pansy's answer.
"Uh...yeah...the good thing about Yeqi. Well, once they're tamed, like these horses, you won't get lost again. They have an amazing sense of direction, just tell them where you want to go ——”
"Assuming they understand you, of course," Malfoy said loudly, and Professor Umbridge smiled indulgently at them before turning to the boy who could see Ye Qi and Neville.
"You can see Yeqi? Longbottom, can't you?" Umbridge said. The two men nodded reluctantly.
"Who's death have you ever seen?" she asked, her tone nonchalant.
The Slytherin boy didn't answer, just watched, and Neville obviously still couldn't ignore Umbridge...
"My…my grandfather," Neville said.
"And what do you think of them?" she said, waving her stubby hands toward the horses, who were now tearing the carcasses down to the bones.
"Uh," Neville said nervously, glancing at Hagrid. "Well, they... uh... okay..."
"'Students...are afraid...to...admit...that they...are...afraid..."
Umbridge muttered, writing another note on her clipboard.
"No!" Neville said in panic. "No, I'm not afraid of them—!"
"Very good," Umbridge said, patting Neville on the shoulder and deliberately trying to smile an understanding smile, although it looked more like a malicious look towards Harry.
"Well, Hagrid," she turned to look at him again and said in that high, slow voice, "I think we've been in contact long enough. You'll get "What's in the air?" Your test results (she pointed at the notepad) will be in ten days. "Umbridge finally raised her ten stubby fingers, and then her smile grew wider, hidden in her hat. Down there, he looked more like a toad than ever before.
Umbridge hurried away from them, leaving Malfoy and Pansy laughing, Hermione shaking with rage, and Neville looking confused and confused.
"That evil, lying, perverted old monster!"
Hermione finally broke out half an hour later, when they were on their way back to the castle, and as they passed through the corridors they noticed that the snow had started falling earlier than usual. (To be continued)
