"It was extremely boring. We spent the entire morning reading." Corin sighed, "This was the most boring class I've ever had. We weren't allowed to talk, sleep, or do anything funny. We weren't even allowed to lie on the table. We spent the entire morning sitting there with our backs straight, staring at 'Defense Against Magic Theory' in a daze. To be honest, I didn't understand a single word. "
"Oh my god, how could she do that!" Ron exclaimed in shock. It did sound terrible.
Especially when everyone knew that the Defense Against Magic class was the same for all grades. Even the seventh grade, which Fred and George were in, were required to buy the book 'Defense Against Magic Theory' as their teaching material. This made things even worse.
There were six classes in the Defense Against Magic class every week, which was equivalent to a day and a half spent staring at a meaningless book.
This was a nightmare level. Although Professor Benz was a bit long-winded, he allowed the students to do other things, such as sleeping or playing games, as long as it did not affect his class. However, Umrich was obviously not allowed.
"That's not all. She also gave us an after-class assignment. We were to continue reading this book and hand in a paper before Friday." Corin dragged out her tone, "It's twenty inches long, and the topic is the reason for taking a non-offensive response to a magical attack."
"What does this sentence mean?" Ron was a little confused.
"I don't know. The book is full of such difficult sentences." Corin said with a dull look, "I've never written such a long paper before. She told everyone that the results of this assignment would be included in the final grade of the school year. Elwyn, can I take a look at your homework? "
Before Elwyn could answer, Ron shouted angrily, "Just like Snape, I knew that woman..."
"Lower your voice, Ron!" Hermione said with dissatisfaction, "Reading more books is good for you. It won't be that boring. But I really don't understand. That's a Defense Against Magic class. What's the point of her doing this? This goes against the original purpose of this class. We should take out our wands and practice defensive spells, especially at a time like this... "
"Have you forgotten why she came to the Hogwarts?" Elwyn reminded.
"To intervene with the Hogwarts on behalf of the Ministry of Magic," Hermione said, recalling Umrich's speech last night.
"That's right. That's why we can't confront her or openly oppose the Ministry of Magic, at least not on the surface. It's extremely irrational and won't do us any good," Elwyn said. "Do as she says in class.
Foggy was worried that the Hogwarts would become a base for Dumbledore to train his personal forces. He didn't want the little wizards to learn powerful magic and wanted to limit their development. Everything Umrich did was centered around this point, so that the Hogwarts would no longer be united.
What she did would not have any effect. In private, Elwyn could rope in students from other academies and seize the time to help his own people improve their strength. When the Lord Voldemort took action, they could directly counterattack.
Now was not the time to fall out with her. Iven did not want to be locked up by Umbridge and targeted at every turn, unable to do anything.
Sometimes, a temporary retreat was for a better attack.
"But..." Hermione was still a little hesitant.
"Well, Umrich asked me to have tea at her place tonight. I agreed and am going to talk to her and then decide what to do." Elwyn continued. "No matter what, she is now a professor at the school. Don't clash with her in class. Reading more books is good for us. If you're bored, you can read other magic books."
"Break into pieces!" He took out his "Magic Defense Theory" and tapped it with his wand.
Immediately, the book and the cover were separated!
"Restored as before!" Elwyn put his magic research notes and the cover of "Magic Defense Theory" together.
He tapped it again with his wand and the two were combined.
From the outside, it was impossible to tell that the contents of the book had changed.
"Elwyn, how can you do this?"
"What else can I do? Have a big fight with her and give her a reason to ground you. " Elwyn said and gave the new "Magic Defense Theory" to Hermione. "That's too childish. I'd better keep a low profile, at least on the surface. By the way, Professor Meg and I talked about the same thing this morning. Remember to tell Harry not to be impulsive. His mood is not very stable recently. "
Elwyn and Professor Meg's worries were very necessary. During the afternoon class, Ron and Hermione told Harry what Elwyn said at noon and what he needed to pay attention to. However, it did not work. Instead, it made him feel indignant.
He did not understand why Elwyn would lower his head to Umrich and the Ministry of Magic?!
First it was Seamus, then it was Snape, then Ron and Hermione, and now even Elwyn...
Therefore, when Umrich asked everyone to read the first chapter of "Magic Defense Theory", Harry questioned it without hesitation. What was the point of doing this?
As long as someone took the lead, the little wizards would be easily aroused. Even Hermione did not hesitate anymore.
Although she thought Elwyn's warning was right not to have conflicts with Umrich in class, it did not mean that she was willing to waste time in class. She also had to help Harry.
"Sit down, Mr. Potter! Your questions are written very clearly in the course objectives. As long as you read them carefully from the beginning to the end, you will understand. If it doesn't work, then read it again, "Umrich said in a firm and sweet tone.
"But in your course objectives, there is no mention of using defensive spells," Hermione said.
"In my class, students who want to speak must raise their hands first. Who are you?"
"Hermione Granger," Hermione said.
"Okay, Miss Granger, please forgive me for not hearing you clearly. Do you mean using defensive spells?" Professor Umrich repeated with a chuckle, "Oh, I can't imagine a situation where you need to use defensive spells in my class. Miss Granger, you don't think you will be attacked in class, do you?"
"Can't we use magic?" Ron shouted.
"I'll say it again, please raise your hand!" Umrich glanced at Ron, "What's your name?"
"Ron Weasley!" Ron said and quickly raised his hand.
Umrich smiled kindly, but did not pay attention to him. She turned around and looked at Harry and Hermione who were still standing there.
