Chapter 205 Creating Difficulties Continued

In the new school year, with the honking of the Hogwarts Express, a car full of wizard apprentices arrived at the old castle in the mountains of Scotland.

I don’t know if it’s because Lu Yunkai’s classmates or most of the Slytherin students already have a communication mirror. On the Hogwarts Express back to school, everyone didn’t seem to have the same “reunion after long separation” as in previous years. of excitement.

There aren’t many summer vacation experiences to share.

After all, with the magic mirror, which is much more convenient than writing letters, those friends who deserve to share their vacation life already know how they spent their summer vacation.

Even those things that were not suitable to be said publicly on the train were simply transferred to the communication mirror in their hands.

Anyway, just point the wand and what you want to say will be sent through the mirror to the person who wants to hear it.

So on the train, almost all the Slytherins were lowering their heads, poking at the mirror in their hands with their wands...

A quiet and peaceful place.

The train stopped and we got off the train and went back to the dormitory. After cleaning up, we went to the auditorium for the opening dinner.

It is already the fifth year, and Lu Yunkai and the others are very skilled.

Just when Lu Yunkai thought that everything was business as usual and there would be no difference except for OWLS this year, an old woman dressed in tender pink appeared in the auditorium, breaking Lu Yunkai's yearning for a peaceful life this year.

As early as when he refused to agree to Snape's help in inviting his adoptive father to return to the school to teach, Lu Yunkai already knew that the Ministry of Magic would interfere with Hogwarts. But he never expected that the Ministry of Magic would actually send the smirking woman he saw at Harry's trial that day to be the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts.

Is there no one left at the Ministry of Magic?

And something that surprised Lu Yunkai even more happened next.

During Dumbledore's usual speech session after the sorting ceremony, the woman couldn't wait to jump out after Dumbledore had finished his introduction. She stood in front of the podium and began to talk about the Ministry of Magic's attitude towards Hogwarts. And things like policy...

What about the Ministry of Magic's emphasis on cultivating young wizards and its concern for educational content?

Lu Yunkai estimated that few people in the entire auditorium could understand what she was talking about there.

However, the students present could not understand it, but they could see it.

Snape with a dark face (Lu Yunkai felt that part of the reason was that he wanted to be a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor but didn't take it seriously), McGonagall with an expressionless face, and Sprout who looked down at something unknown in his hand. , and Flitwick, who didn’t attend the dinner at all, basically expressed the attitudes of the four colleges...

It's just that the old woman with a fake smile seemed to have an indifferent attitude of "let the wind and rain hit me, I will just stroll around". She clearly felt the hostility from the entire auditorium, but she still finished her speech with a smile on her face.

However, because of her limelight, the back-to-school dinner became extremely awkward, and in the end, it had to end hastily.

…

"You were selected into this house because you have the potential to become great people. If the Sorting Hat sorted you into Slytherin, there must be something great in you. Don't forget this. So... please tell everyone Someone who knows you proves that you are worthy of being a Slytherin. Well, after a long day, you must be looking forward to seeing your dormitory and warm bed. One more thing, Slytherin’s student dormitories are the most comfortable in the entire Hogwarts. I wish you a sweet dream.”

Lu Yunkai smiled and clapped his hands, indicating that his speech was over.

The boys and girls who had just become members of Slytherin surrounded him and clapped their hands vigorously, with bright smiles on their faces.

Lu Yunkai nodded, then glanced at the Malfoy trio who were pointing at him as if they were watching a monkey show, and slipped back to the dormitory at the smoothest but fastest speed.

"Hey! Master, are you back?"

"...Shut up." Lu Yun said bluntly to Blaise, who had a teasing expression on his face.

This guy was just there watching him make a fool of himself, otherwise Lu Yunkai wouldn't have thought of adding a sentence that proved the seeds of his greatness in his speech.

"Don't be embarrassed! I think your speech was very good. Pansy just said that she had prepared a speech, but compared to you, it was nothing." Blaise still smiled, "And these guys All the little kids admire you so much, they will definitely believe whatever you say. I guess you will be the one to give the speech next year. "Eternal Glory..."

"Go away." Lu Yunkai glared at Blaise, sat down on the bed angrily, and sighed, "If I had known better, I wouldn't have agreed to Snape being the prefect. I forgot that there was such a thing."

"I think you are really suitable." Blaise looked at Lu Yunkai's attitude of not mentioning the past, so he changed the subject, "When we were just having dinner, I heard you whisper to Daphne about the person named Umbridge. What's going on...where is she?"

"I just asked Daphne because I didn't know!" Lu Yunkai shook his head, "I met her once at the Ministry of Magic before, and my impression was very bad at that time."

"...There are very few people who can be said like that by you. I never saw you commenting on Moody like this when he was so difficult before." Blaise was amused, "What did she do?"

"..." Lu Yunkai told everything about Harry's trial at the Ministry of Magic.

"It seems that her official position in the Ministry of Magic is not low!"

"From the Legal Enforcement Department? Probably!" Lu Yunkai casually guessed the origin, "But when I think about it, it seems to be related to Defense Against the Dark Arts."

"Do you have some misunderstanding? Defense Against the Dark Arts is for Aurors, but those guys from the Department of Legal Enforcement are not Aurors sitting in the office." Blaise shook his head and took out a mirror.

Lu Yunkai naturally knew that he was planning to ask his mother.

Sure enough, after a while.

"This Umbridge is the Deputy Minister of Magic. My mother said that she is Fudge's confidant." Blaise looked at the mirror and said to Lu Yunkai, "My mother reminded us that this woman is notoriously petty. Let us It’s best not to mess with her this year.”

"This year? I'm afraid it's not just this year!" Lu Yunkai sighed, "The Ministry of Magic finally hammered a nail into Hogwarts. Do you still expect her to be gone next year?"

"What are you afraid of! That's the Defense Against the Dark Arts class! There's a curse!" Blaise said cheerfully, "Even the famous Mad-Eye Moody was hospitalized for several months due to that curse, let alone a Ministry of Magic Are we going to make a bet on whether Defense Against the Dark Arts will be suspended at the end of the school year? I heard that the Weasley twins made a bet on this last year and they almost cried."

"...I hope so!" Lu Yunkai sighed softly and glanced at the wildly vibrating mirror at his hand, "I'm going out for a while."

"Who's looking for you? Daphne?"

"Malfoy!! He wants to tell me about this year's Quidditch team training."

"...Yes, there will be a Quidditch match this year."

"Yeah!! But...well, it's not my turn to play anyway."

"Then what is he discussing with you?"

"I'm a prefect now..."

"Oh!! Yes! Lord Eternal Glory..."

"Go to hell!"

Lu Yunkai casually grabbed the pillow on the bed and threw it at Blaise, and then walked out of the dormitory.

…

Malfoy's emphasis on the Quidditch team is somewhat related to the fact that Lu Yunkai was appointed as a prefect by Snape. Lu Yun was also very clear about this.

Perhaps it was the "tradition" started by Lu Yunkai the year before last that made the male students in Slytherin feel that life was incomplete if they did not join the Quidditch team. Therefore, the male students in Slytherin all played college Quidditch. team member.

Malfoy, the captain of the Quidditch team, is still in control when talking about the team. This somewhat satisfies his desire for power.

Therefore, Lu Yunkai decided to cooperate with him.

Otherwise, his girlfriend, Pansy, the prefect of Slytherin House, might not give Lu Yun good luck...

Moreover, Lu Yunkai was not completely helpless about the Quidditch team. He gradually understood why so many adult wizards liked Quidditch.

Riding broomsticks with a group of peers and chasing after a few balls is actually quite relaxing...

And Lu Yunkai's fifth Hogwarts school year began with such a calmness similar to that of Umbridge.

Just when Lu Yunkai thought he was going to live a period of attending classes every day, preparing for the OWLS exam, and waiting for the results of Chris's jailbreak plan, on only the third day of school, Lu Yunkai discovered that things might be worse than... He imagined it was more complicated.

It was still the same disastrous Defense Against the Dark Arts class.

It only took Umbridge one lesson to make Lu Yunkai understand the difference between being an Auror and sitting in an office (in fact, the previous Moody was not really Moody, so he should not be considered an Auror).

Compared with Umbridge who took out a useless textbook full of nonsense and asked the students to follow the textbook, Lu Yunkai preferred Crouch Jr. who made the students see the three unforgivable curses in the first class.

And he's not the only one who feels this way.

Someone else stood up directly and pointed out the problem: Harry and Hermione.

Harry had met this woman before when he was at the Ministry of Magic and had a bad impression of her.

Hermione, on the other hand, was worried that such a useless course would delay the OWLS exam that will be held this year.

Then, Harry was punished.

He was asked by Umbridge to come to the classroom to report after dinner. As for what she wanted to do specifically, she didn't say, but just looking at her smiling face, Lu Yunkai guessed that Harry would definitely not be easy.

Hermione was lucky. Perhaps because Umbridge was busy shooting Harry, the more famous one, she, the little sparrow, managed to escape punishment.

After seeing this scene, Lu Yunkai also put away his dissatisfaction with Umbridge written on his face.

never mind. Anyway, Lu Yunkai didn't learn much in the Defense Against Dark Arts classes in the past few years. He basically relied on self-study in his spare time. This little time in the classroom should be regarded as rest time and just sleep.

An extremely boring Defense Against the Dark Arts class finally came to an end.

A group of students who had been waiting for the end of get out of class stood up together and poured out of the classroom the moment the get out of class ended.

"Classmate Greenglass, please pay attention. This is school. Please keep the polite distance between you and Lu Yunkai."

Daphne took Lu Yunkai's arm as she was used to. When the two were going to have lunch together, Umbridge stopped the two of them and said to Daphne with a fake smile.

"Oh." Lu Yunkai perfunctorily said to Umbridge, then pulled Daphne, who was stunned by her shouting, out of the classroom.

"Stop." Umbridge shouted at Lu Yunkai's back, "It seems that I need to teach you what etiquette is. You are a guy who has lost the Slytherin's manners."

"Please go to Professor Snape to report this matter. I am now the male prefect of Slytherin. I still have some idea of ​​what Slytherin's manners are. Thank you." Lu Yunkai smiled and nodded, "If there is any problem with the distance between me and Daphne, you can consult Filch. He may tell you if there is any school rule that regulates this. If not..."

At this point, Lu Yunkai smiled and shook his head.

That means.

It's none of your business.

Then, he pulled Daphne, whose face was slightly red, out of the classroom.

"Well done."

When he walked out of the classroom, Malfoy, who disliked Umbridge, also clapped his hands with Lu Yunkai.

Then, together with Pansy, the four of them went to the auditorium.

However.

At lunch time the next day, Goyle, holding the Prophet Daily published that day, told Lu Yunkai a piece of news that made him frown.

The Ministry of Magic issued the 23rd Education Order. In view of the school spirit problems of Hogwarts, a new position of Hogwarts Senior Inquisitor was established. Umbridge became the first Hogwarts Senior Inquisitor.

And that night, Umbridge fulfilled her senior investigator's authority and issued a ban.

It is forbidden for male and female students to be less than one meter apart.
