"I just want to know if you received my note informing me of the date and time of the investigation of your class …"
"Obviously I did, otherwise I would have asked you what you were doing in my classroom," Professor Meg said bluntly.
Many students exchanged joyful looks. That was Professor Meg.
Umrich could not get any benefits from him. It would be even better if he could turn her into a toad!
"Well, today we are going to learn the Vanishing Spell. The Vanishing Spell is easier than the Summoning Spell that you usually practice when you reach the NEW.TS level, but it is still the most difficult magic that will appear in your 0.W Ls exam. We … "
"Ahem, ahem."
"I don't understand," Professor Meg said to Umrich coldly and angrily. "If you keep interrupting me, how can you understand my usual teaching methods? You know, I don't usually allow others to talk when I'm talking. "
Umbridge looked as if she had been slapped in the face. She did not speak. Instead, she straightened the parchment on the writing board and scribbled angrily. She wrote so hard that everyone could hear the sound of the quill's tip scratching against the ground.
Professor Meg looked indifferent and said to the class again, "As I said, we are going to practice the Vanishing Spell in this class. The spell will become more and more complicated according to the animal we need to vanish. As the first class, we will only use snails. It is an invertebrate, so it is not very challenging. Well, please line up and come to me to get your snails. "
"She also scolded Elwyn and me for losing our temper with Umrich!" Harry said to Ron in a low voice.
A few minutes later, each of them got a snail, and Professor Meg explained the spell in detail again.
Harry found the Vanishing Spell extremely difficult. Until the end of the Transfiguration class, no one in the class could make their practice snail vanish except for Hermione. She only tried for the third time and succeeded in making her snail disappear.
Therefore, he won ten points for the Gryffindor Academy from Professor Meg. She was the only one who didn't have to do homework. The others had to practice the spell overnight, preparing to try it on the snails in the next transformation class.
Umrich sat in the corner, jotting down notes on her clipboard. When Professor Meg finally told the class to pack up, she stood up and walked to the podium with a frighteningly straight face.
Harry, Hermione, and Ron looked at each other and deliberately stayed at the back to eavesdrop.
"How long have you been teaching at Hogwarts?" Umrich asked.
"It will be thirty-nine years in December this year," Professor Meg answered stiffly and slammed the bag shut.
"Very good!" she said. "You shall receive the results of your investigation within ten days."
"I can't wait." Professor Meg said in an extremely cold tone and strode to the door. "Hurry up, you three."
As she spoke, she pushed Harry, Ron, and Hermione forward.
Harry couldn't help but give her a faint smile, and he was sure that Professor Meg smiled back at him.
Elwyn didn't find the evidence he needed in Umrich's office, but he felt that he could come here more often.
He returned to the common room with the black quill and studied it briefly.
This was magic he had never encountered before, and the magic reaction of the quill was strange. There was no progress even when Corin called him to the divination class.
Elwyn felt that he needed some help. He prepared to write a letter to Lavier and ask about the principle of this witchcraft.
He was still thinking about it when he arrived at the dark divination classroom.
Professor Trelawney looked the same as before, like a big, shining dragonfly.
"Hello, students!" She said in her usual vague, dreamy voice. "Welcome back to the divination class. Of course, I have been following your fate carefully throughout the summer vacation, and I am very happy to see that you have all returned to Hogwarts safe and sound. Because I know that you will all come back. This semester, I will study the movement of the stars and planets with you, and the mysterious signs they show. Only … "
She suddenly stopped. Following her line of sight, everyone turned their heads and saw Umrich come out of the trapdoor on the floor with a deliberate fake smile on her face. The chattering in the classroom instantly quieted down.
"Professor Trelawney!" Umrich said with a face full of smiles. "I believe you must have received my notice. It says that I will check the time and date of your class."
She did not seem to notice that Elwyn had barged into her office. She did not even look at him.
Elwyn remembered that he had seen Foggy's reply in Umrich's desk, asking her to use her status as a senior investigator to get rid of a professor as soon as possible. If there was anyone in the school who was most likely to do so, it had to be Professor Trelawney.
Before entering the true prophecy state, she was an old liar, and the kind that did not have much credibility.
She was definitely the worst professor in the school. There was no need to spend time evaluating her. Anyone who was not blind could tell.
Elwyn hoped that Professor Trelawney would behave better and not give Umrich any leverage.
"I know!" Professor Trelawney nodded with a straight face, looking very unhappy. She continued in her ethereal voice. "The movement of the planets and the mysterious signs they show can only be understood by those who understand the rules of the Celestial Dance..."
"Ahem, ahem!" Umrich interrupted her. She did not have much scruples about Professor Trelawney.
"I'm sorry, before the class begins, can I have a few words with you? You know, my time is limited, and I can't stay here forever! "Umrich said, standing up from her chair.
Obviously, rejecting her directly was the best choice, but Professor Trelawney just nodded angrily.
"Very well, how long have you been in this position, exactly?"
Professor Trelawney glared at her fiercely, crossed her arms, and shrugged her shoulders, as if trying to protect herself from this rude inquiry. She paused slightly, as if deciding that the question was not so abrupt, and there was no reason for her to ignore it. She said in a very sullen tone, "Almost sixteen years."
"That's not a short time, sixteen years..." Professor Umrich said, making a few more notes on her writing board. "So, Professor Dumbledore appointed you after he became the principal?"
"That's right," Professor Trelawney said crisply.
"Oh!" Professor Umrich made a few notes. "I heard that you are the great-great-granddaughter of the famous prophet, Cassandra Trelawney?"
Cassandra Trelawney was a very famous soothsayer and occultist in the history of magic. It was said that her ancestors had prophetic blood. She was active in the late Middle Ages and early Renaissance, and was one of the most famous prophets in the whole of Europe at that time, as famous as France's Nocha Damas.
She once disintegrated the powerful Pharaoh Order with her own strength, and reformed the Ministry of Magic today. This famous prophecy was repeatedly mentioned in the history of magic.
