"It used to be your home!" Professor Umrich said. Seeing Professor Trelawney sitting on a box and crying, her toad face broke into a triumphant smile. "Until an hour ago, when the Director of the Ministry of Magic signed your dismissal order. Now, please leave the hall. You have really embarrassed us."
She stood there, gloating as Professor Trelawney trembled.
She sobbed and her body trembled, rocking back and forth on the box with waves of grief.
Professor Meg pushed her way out of the crowd and went straight to Professor Trelawney.
She patted Professor Trelawney's back forcefully and pulled out a large handkerchief from her robe.
In the crowd, many students also wept silently with her.
Although many people did not like her class, what was happening in front of them was too cruel.
"Okay, okay, West Bill, calm down!" Professor Meg comforted her. "It's not as bad as you think. You won't leave the Hogwarts."
"Oh, really, Professor Meg?" Umrich took a few steps forward and said viciously, "Who approved this?"
"Me!" said a deep voice.
The oak door opened. The students by the door quickly moved aside. Dumbledore appeared in the doorway.
In order to help with Keresis's treatment, he had been away from school recently. He seemed to have received the news and hurried back from outside.
Dumbledore stood in the doorframe, looking dignified against the misty night.
He left the door open and strode through the crowd to Professor Trelawney.
She was still sitting on the box, her face streaked with tears and her body trembling. Professor Meg accompanied her.
"You, Professor Dumbledore?" Umrich let out a particularly unpleasant, shrill laugh and pulled out a roll of parchment from her robe. "I'm afraid you don't know this. I have a dismissal order signed by myself and the Director of the Ministry of Magic. According to Education Order 23, the High Commissioner of Hogwarts has the power to inspect, detain and dismiss any teacher who, in my opinion, does not meet the standards of the Ministry of Magic. I don't think Professor Trelawney is qualified, and I've fired her. "
"Yes!" Dumbledore was still smiling. He looked down at Professor Trelawney, who was still sobbing on the box, and said calmly, "Of course you're right, Professor Umrich. As the highest investigator, you have every right to fire my teacher. However, I'm afraid you don't have the right to expel them from the castle. I'm afraid this power still belongs to the headmaster. I hope Professor Trelawney will continue to live in Hogwarts. "
Trelawney gave an excited laugh, with a little sob in it.
"No, no, I'm leaving, Dumbledore! I want to leave Hogwarts and go somewhere else to make a living! "
"No, I want you to stay, Cy Bill!" Dumbledore said firmly. He turned to Professor Meg. "Will you please take Cy Bill upstairs, Professor Meg?"
"Of course!" said Meg. "Come on, Cy Bill, upstairs!"
Professor Sprout quickly took Professor Trelawney's other arm, and they led her past Umrich and up the marble stairs.
Professor Flitwick ran after them with his wand raised and screamed, "The box moves!"
Professor Trelawney's box rose into the air and followed them upstairs. Professor Flitwick brought up the rear.
Umrich stood there, staring at Dumbledore, who was still smiling kindly.
"What are you going to do with her when I appoint a new Divination teacher and need her room?" she whispered, but her voice carried through the hall.
"Oh, that's not a problem!" Said Dumbledore cheerfully. "You see, I've already found a Divination teacher. He's willing to live on the first floor."
"You've already found one?" said Umrich sharply. "You've already found one? I remind you, Dumbledore, according to Educational Order Number 22 … "
"The Ministry of Magic has the right to appoint a teacher when and only when the Headmaster cannot find a suitable candidate. I'm pleased to announce that this time I've found one. Shall I introduce you? "He turned his head towards the door, through which the night mist drifted.
The students heard the sound of hooves, and there was a murmur of alarm in the hall.
The people near the door hurriedly retreated further away, some even tripped and fell. A face appeared in the fog.
Pale blond hair, startling blue eyes, a human head and limbs on a pale tan horse.
"This is Firenze!" said Dumbledore cheerfully. "I think you'll find him very suitable."
Opposite him, Umbridge stared at the centaur that suddenly appeared with his mouth agape ….
The sudden change caused an uproar in the castle. Professor Trelawney's dismissal had caused the hatred of the entire school towards Umrich to peak. Many people did not like Professor Trelawney and thought she was a liar, but Umrich's actions were too rough and too cruel!
And Professor Trelawney's behavior in the hall in the evening was too pitiful.
Even Hermione, who had always had a problem with her, was on Professor Trelawney's side this time.
After the incident, Lavender, Parvati, and some other girls went to visit Professor Trelawney.
They were the most loyal supporters of Divination, and brought back some news!
"We just went to her office to see her, and gave her some yellow daffodils, beautiful yellow daffodils, not the ones in Sprout that would bark," said Lavender to them in front of the fire in the common room.
"How is she?"
"Not too good, poor thing!" Lavender said sympathetically. "She cried and said that with Umrich here, she would rather leave the castle. I don't blame her at all. Umrich is too domineering to her, isn't she? "
"I have a feeling that Umrich's domineering has only just begun," said Hermione sadly.
"Impossible, she can't get any worse."
"Remember what I said, Dumbledore appointed a new teacher without asking for her opinion, she will take revenge," said Hermione. "This is the second half-human. You saw the expression on Umrich's face when she saw Firenze."
Hermione predicted that Umrich would take revenge, but the students' patience with her had reached its limit.
Elwyn felt that it was not far from erupting, and the report that would be published tomorrow morning would be the fuse.
After Firenze came to the castle, Elwyn brought everyone to visit him that night.
He had a good relationship with the centaurs, and Hermione, Elaine, and Ginny were very interested in Firenze.
