Chapter 855 (1/2)
There was a brief silence as people in the classroom turned to look at the three course objectives still written on the blackboard and frowned at them.
”Use the defense curse?” Professor Umbridge said with a little smile. ”Why, in my class, I need you to use the defense curse, Mr. van Lindel. You don't want to be attacked in class. ”
”We will not use magic?” Cried Ron.
Professor Umbridge, still smiling, turned his back to him. Harry and Hermione immediately raised their hands. Professor Umbridge stopped her eyes on Harry for a moment before asking questions. ”
” well, Miss Granger? Do you want to ask any other questions? Different from Mr. Fanlin's question? ”
”Yes,” Hermione said positively. ”Are you sure that the whole point of defense against the dark arts is to practice defense spells?”
