v2 Chapter 923： Intervention and guidance of the Ministry of Magic (1/2)

Speaking of this, Professor Umbridge stopped talking and bowed to other teachers, and none of them returned to her.

Professor McGonagall's two black eyebrows are tightly twisted together, making her look like an eagle.

When Umbridge turned and continued his speech, Professor McGonagall exchanged a meaningful eye for Professor Sprout.

“Hogwarts’ previous presidents have innovated when they are responsible for managing this historic school. This is all right, because if there is no progress, it will stagnate and will decline. At the same time, progress for progress. The practice should never be encouraged. Our traditions are tempered and often do not require botched corrections. To achieve a balance between old and new, between long-lasting and changing, in tradition and innovation. between.”

Umbridge spoke incessantly, and she probably thought of this as a work report from the Ministry of Magic.

Ai Wen quickly distracted. Aside from the meaningless words, there was only one thing she wanted to convey. That is, the Ministry of Magic is very dissatisfied with Hogwarts’ current state of operation and is ready to interfere with Hogwarts. Operation.

He knew this for a long time, and naturally he was not interested in listening to her.

The little wizards have never seen this scene, and they are not interested in listening to her chattering here.

Everyone's attention gradually became inconsistent. I couldn't keep up with Umbridge's thoughts. When Dumbledore spoke, he was silent. Now the students are whispering, whispering, giggling, and the hall is noisy.

On the left side of Ai Wen, Kate held his chin with his hand, but his head kept sliding down; on the table next to Ravenclaw, Qiu was chatting happily with friends, Luna separated from her by several seats. I also pulled out the ”singing and reversing”.

At the same time, on Hufflepuff's table, Ernie McMillan is one of the few students still staring at Professor Umbridge, but his eyes are dull, he can be sure that he Just pretending to listen carefully, in order to live up to the brand new, gleaming badge on his chest.

On the long side of the Slytherin on the side of the auditorium, Astoria is talking to a girl.

She is Astoria's sister Daphne Greengrass, in addition to their brother, is a Slytherin seventh grade student.

On the rostrum, Umbridge did not seem to notice the restlessness of the audience.

She turned a blind eye to everything below, and still spoke slowly with her guilloche voice.

She gives the impression that even if there is a massive riot under the nose, she won't care.

However, the teachers listened very carefully one by one, and Dumbledore kept staring at Umbridge.

On the right side of Ai Wen, Hermione also smugly listened to every word that Umbridge said, but from her expression, she didn't like to hear these words.

”Because some changes have achieved good results, and others have changed to the right time, they will be found to be mistakes in decision-making. At the same time, some old habits will be preserved. This is understandable, and some habits are obsolete. We must abandon. Let us keep moving forward, enter a new era of enlightened, efficient and reasonable, resolutely maintain what we should maintain, improve what needs to be perfected, and reject those that we should ban.”

Half an hour later, Umbridge finally sat down, Dumbledore began to applaud, and other teachers followed.

There are very few responses below. Several students subconsciously followed the applause, but most students only made two or three sentences and opened the gap. At this point, they did not realize that the speech was over.

Dumbledore stood up again without waiting for them to start applauding.

”Thank you very much, Professor Umbridge, your speech is very instructive.” He said, owe her a debt, ”Okay, as I said, the selection of the Quidditch team will be... ...”

”Yeah, it's really instructive,” Hermione said in a low voice.

”Don't you say that you listened with gusto?” Ron whispered, his sullen face turned to Hermione. ”This is probably the most boring speech I have ever heard, and I grew up beside Percy.” It.”

“I’m talking about inspirational, not interesting,” said Hermione. “It can tell a lot of questions.”

”Is it?” Ron asked blankly. ”It sounds like a big nonsense, yes, Harry, can you say that I can sign up for the Quidditch team selection?”
