HP: White Lord of Slytherin

Chapter 209 Umbridge's Talk

Umbridge was annoyed by Gloria's fearless attitude.

"I call you professor, which means you work at Hogwarts School and are a teacher to the students." Gloria said, "You should focus on teaching instead of asking me if I am seeking attention from the outside world."

"you……"

Gloria interrupted her directly, "I remember you said in class that the position of professor of the Defense Against the Dark Arts course at Hogwarts is always changed by many people. In fact, I asked Headmaster Dumbledore about this. Do you know why?"

Umbridge obviously wanted to know why, "Why?"

"He said that the mysterious man once returned to the school and wanted to be the professor of this course but was rejected. Therefore, he cursed the position. No matter who is the professor, all kinds of bad things will befall him. In the past few years that I have been in the school, no professor of the Defense Against the Dark Arts course has stayed for more than a year."

After Gloria said this, she clearly saw the fear in Umbridge's eyes. Even though she kept denying it, she was still afraid of Voldemort in her bones.

"How disappointing." Umbridge pretended to be disappointed. "Dumbledore actually promoted a criminal who had long been dead to the students."

"Professor..." Gloria said softly, "Do you think the effectiveness of this curse is related to the life or death of the person who casts the curse?"

Umbridge looked as if she had swallowed a fly.

"I'm just worried about you." Gloria's expression seemed to be really worried about her. "After all, since I started school, several professors have had bad endings, except for Professor Lupin. Maybe it's because he resigned on his own initiative."

"Nonsense." Umbridge said gloomily, "Let me ask you, about that report..."

"Do you believe what that report says?" Gloria interrupted her again.

"of course not……"

"If you don't believe me, I will refuse to give any answer. This is my freedom."

She smiled instead of getting angry. "I hope Miss Slytherin will not be like Mr. Potter and always tell lies about the return of the You-Know-Who. After all, that person also has Slytherin blood, and it is easy for people to misunderstand your intentions."

"Thanks for the reminder." Gloria said, "I also want to say something about this position curse... Good luck to you, Professor."

She gave Umbridge the sincere blessing that Dumbledore gave to Professor Lupin with a tone that indicated she had other ideas.

Facing a student of decent family like Harry, Umbridge might be bolder and take action.

But Gloria is a descendant of Slytherin, possessing strong financial resources, powerful personal strength, and power that perhaps they are not aware of.

Sure enough, not long after I walked out, I saw Draco waiting near the classroom.

"What did she say?"

"Very boring words." Gloria took his arm, "Let me not say something like Harry did, saying that the You-Know-Who is back."

She didn't expect everyone to believe it, she just gave a reminder, it was very simple for her.

It is one thing that the wizards in the magical world today did not see it with their own eyes, but another thing is that everyone subconsciously hopes that this is false. Who wants to experience that dark age again?

"It seems that Potter's words made her very angry." Draco's mouth curved into an indifferent arc. "While waiting for you in the corridor, the students passing by were discussing that Potter had quarreled with Umbridge in class about the return of the You-Know-Who."

Finally, he commented, "Gryffindors are always so impulsive and reckless."

Gloria said, "He was a little impulsive, but it's inevitable that he would get emotional after reading so much and getting extremely bored. Harry was more nervous after coming back from the cemetery, so he was more likely to do wrong things impulsively."

She spent the holiday as normal, working at the Ministry, but Harry was different. He was always staring at the newspapers, Sirius told her.

The two came to the auditorium. They wanted to eat quickly because they had a lot of homework and it would be best to finish it as soon as possible.

Because the conversation with Umbridge took some time, some classmates had already left the hall when we arrived.

When we arrived at the entrance hall, we ran into Harry and his friends.

Harry walked forward with anger on his face and his eyes fixed on it, as if anyone who stood in his way would be knocked down by him.

Draco frowned as he watched him leave, while Hermione and Ron looked helpless, shook their heads at Gloria, and quickly followed Harry's footsteps.

“No wonder he was put in solitary confinement.” The boy muttered.

From the pocket of her school robe, Golinia's voice reached her ears, "The remnant soul is active in that boy's body. He has some connection with that person, closer than last year."

Gloria immediately understood that it was not that Harry wanted to be so irritable, but that the residual soul of Voldemort was affecting his mood.

He wasn't this active when we met in early August.

When they arrived at the auditorium, Zabini waved and the two of them went over naturally.

"The first day of the new term is so lively. Harry Potter is in detention, and Gloria is kept by Umbridge for a talk." Zabini pointed to the other three tables, "They are all discussing this, afraid that Potter can't hear it."

Gloria glanced around and saw that except for the Slytherin table, people from other houses were talking to each other. She could even hear related words: Harry, detention, Umbridge, etc.

"Look at them." Draco's voice was cold. "I thought they were as safe as before."

Only Slytherin House did not discuss this issue because they knew that the Dark Lord had really returned.

·

There is a lot of homework, so you should make full use of the time when you don’t have classes to finish it as soon as possible.

The first class this morning was History of Magic. Professor Binns' voice made everyone drowsy and they couldn't even pick up their quills to take notes.

Gloria knew that Professor Binns would not take his eyes off the book in his hand until the get out of class was over.

She placed her Charms homework on the right side for easy writing, and her History of Magic textbook on the left side. When the professor read out a certain time point or turning point, she would quickly write it down.

I am trying to do two things at the same time while taking this course.

Draco concentrated on his homework. He was also very busy at school, and some matters at home had been assigned to him on a regular basis.

Last night they and the club members stayed in the secret room, so they didn't need to go to the library to grab a seat or face the quiet environment of the lounge.

Before the bell rang, Professor Binns gave them another pile of homework.

The students woke up from their slumber and lamented their fate this year in low voices.

Gloria and Draco quickly packed up their textbooks and rushed to the second class. Professor Barbie, the runes elective course, was not so 'cruel' and assigned homework that was only five inches longer than usual.

After the morning classes, they did not go to the auditorium except for breakfast, but went to the secret room. Gloria asked the elf to put all the food there.

The door of the secret room is open and non-members cannot enter.

Soon the elf came with a letter in his hand, "Dear Miss Gloria, a letter from a guest."

Gloria picked up the letter. It was from Ogden.

"What's wrong?" Draco asked curiously.

Gloria opened the letter and read it with him. The letter said that Fudge was advocating for the passage of the 23rd Education Order. If successful, Umbridge would become the Senior Inquisitor of Hogwarts.

Tiberius Ogden, a relative of his and the Wizengamot, would resign in protest along with another elder.
