In the end, Umbridge still failed to get the job as a Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher as she wished, and was forced to teach Care of Magical Creatures. This made her very unhappy, and she always looked gloomy when looking at Ellie, but she didn't

Egg Ellie doesn't care about her at all and completely ignores her existence.

What's even more annoying is that Umbridge can't do anything at all.

Also angry was Harry.

Just like in the original work, Harry was under tremendous pressure at this moment. No one knew what he had encountered. The articles criticizing him in the "Daily Prophet" said that he was a liar who liked to attract attention. He was deliberately mysterious.

People are resurrected to attract other people's attention. This is just a lie. Therefore, Harry is under considerable pressure in school. He does not sleep in the Gryffindor dormitory almost every night.

, but ran to find Snape... Ellie didn't want to know the answer to what the two of them were doing all night.

It has nothing to do with her anyway.

The students don't like Umbridge. Her magical animals are neither funny nor interesting, nor delicious. Just like in the original book, Umbridge doesn't even show them any magical animals, but just asks them to simply

Reading——Actually, if this person wasn’t disgusting, Ellie still thinks this is a good teaching method.

Although many students hate this, do teachers teach to make students like it?

The so-called "I like learning" is just a delusion in literary works. Well, except for top academics, isn't learning always painful?

happy learning?

Your brain is cramping, how could such a thing exist in the world? You might as well hope that money will fall from the sky, which is more practical.

However, with the promulgation of Education Order No. 23, students suddenly became nervous.

As in the original work, Education Order No. 23 gave Umbridge the title of Hogwarts' Senior Inquisitor. She can use this status to review the courses of other teachers to ensure that they can meet the standards. This

This immediately made the entire Hogwarts teachers and students very unhappy.

But soon, they discovered that this woman was even more annoying than they imagined.

Not only did she always interrupt other teachers in class, but she also always asked some random questions, which ended up making a mess.

Now, what all the teachers and students in the school are looking forward to is Ellie's Defense Against the Dark Arts class.

Especially Ron and Harry.

"Wait a minute, Harry, Professor McGonagall taught her a severe lesson. I think Teacher Ellie will only be more cruel to her... If she can also give that woman a 'running wild', let

She could just run around Hogwarts hundreds of times."

This was what Ron said to Harry before the Defense Against the Dark Arts class. In fact, when they walked into the class and saw Umbridge's pudgy figure in a pink sweater, all the students' eyes lit up——

-Except for the freshmen who have just entered the school, Ellie has already gained a "bad reputation" in the hearts of other Hogwarts students. They are now waiting to see how Ellie will deal with Umbridge.

But the first words Ellie said in class disappointed many students.

"Everyone put away their wands and pick up their quills."

"………………?"

Hearing this, many students were stunned for a moment. They originally thought that as a "demonstration", Ellie would choose to cast a few curses on Umbridge, or perform some very powerful magic. But now it seems that Ellie will

Doesn't it seem that he intends to confront this annoying old woman head-on?

This is somewhat boring.

Although they thought so in their hearts, the students still obediently took out pens and papers, and then watched Ellie stand on her tiptoes and write the word "fear" in large letters on the blackboard.

"Today, we are going to learn the nature of black magic."

Nature?

"Defence Against the Dark Arts class, you all already know that it is about defending against black magic, but what exactly is the use of black magic?"

"………………"

"Of course, everyone has their own answer, but if you ask me, the essence of black magic is fear."

As she spoke, Ellie picked up the Daily Prophet.

"This is the news about the incident that happened during the Quidditch World Cup. I think you have all seen it, but I think you don't know why your parents and adults are scared just by seeing the Dark Mark.

You must be out of your mind."

"Uh huh huh!"

Hearing this, all the students nodded hurriedly. They were all born after that and had no memory of these dark marks. Therefore, after seeing these marks, they were puzzled that their parents looked livid and even trembled with fear.

, isn’t it just a mark? So what if it represents the Dark Lord?

It’s not like there are students who have the courage to ask, but are directly scolded by their parents, and there is no further explanation.

But even so, the curiosity in their hearts not only did not disappear, but became more and more intense. Now that they heard that Ai Li would actually tell them this story in class, all their originally unfocused thoughts suddenly came back, and they all looked at them with wide eyes.

Ellie.

"Actually, at the beginning, this mark didn't have any special meaning. As you can probably tell, Voldemort probably didn't have any artistic ability to design such a disgusting thing."

Speaking of this, Ellie even made a little joke, and the others also chuckled - Ellie and Harry Potter are the only two people in Hogwarts who dare to mention Voldemort's name casually without caring.

They are all used to it. From being nervous at first to even daring to laugh now is enough to prove everything.

"Ahem."

"No one took the mark seriously at first, but then you all learned that Voldemort and his henchmen were wreaking havoc everywhere, killing those who dared to oppose and resist them, and then released the mark outside those people's homes.

, so this mark has a different meaning - try to think about it, when you work for a day and drag your tired body back home, you see the Dark Mark floating in the sky outside your home, it seems to you

Realizing something, I stumbled into the house, and all I saw were the bodies of your family members..."

Speaking of this, Ai Li's voice became deeper and deeper, and when the students imagined this scene, their faces turned pale and livid, and even some who were not mentally stable were about to cry.

"This is the reason why this mark has changed the mind of many people. The essence of the Dark Mark is just a mark. It does not have any powerful magic power, but when it is connected with some kind of evil behavior, it gives...

It's a completely new characteristic that makes this mark so scary..."

"Ahem."

"Professor Umbridge, if you are not feeling well, get out of my class."

Ellie put down the chalk in her hand and looked at Umbridge, who was sitting behind and coughing, with no light in her eyes. Umbridge's expression stiffened slightly under her gaze, and then she smiled.

"Oh, of course not, Miss Ellie, I just think you shouldn't scare these cute children..."

However, Ai Li directly withdrew her gaze and looked at other students.

"So today, I will teach you about the meaning of fear and symbols, as well as the nature of black magic."

After saying this, Ellie stretched out her hand and pointed at Umbridge.

"Professor Umbridge, would you mind coming over to help?"

"Well……………"

Looking at Ellie's cold, bright red eyes, Umbridge really wanted to say that she minded.

"Teacher Ellie, you should know that using black magic in the classroom is very dangerous, and if you want to teach these black magic to these children, the Ministry of Magic will not allow it..."

"I don't need to use dark magic to make them understand the meaning, so do you want to help?"

"……………no problem."

Hearing that the other party said that she could not use dark magic, Umbridge finally breathed a sigh of relief deep in her heart. She walked forward with a smile and nodded to the other students. Ellie snapped her fingers and said,

She quickly turned the blackboard in the classroom into a wooden bed. Then she took out her wand and pointed it at Umbridge's back.

"All petrified!"

Umbridge, who was signaling to the students, had no idea that Ellie would dare to sneak up on her from behind. She was immediately hit and fell to the ground. Then Ellie waved her wand again and nailed Umbridge to the wooden bed.

"Next, I'm going to use a very common thing to make you realize the connection between symbols and fear."

As she spoke, Ellie stretched out her hand, and then took out a handful of... nails from her pocket.

"You know what this is, right?"

Facing Ai Li's question, the students all nodded. Who doesn't know about nails?

No matter how stupid a wizard is, he can't even know how to nail.

"Are you afraid of nails?"

"……………………"

All the students shook their heads. What do they think there is to fear about nails?

"Then I'm going to introduce an ancient punishment called crucifixion. Well, to put it simply, it involves using a hammer to drive nails into the prisoners' fingers to make them feel pain. Just like this...

"

As she spoke, Ellie walked up to Umbridge, then took out a ten centimeter long nail and pointed it at the nail of Umbridge's finger, and then she raised the hammer she was holding in her other hand.

Seeing this scene, Umbridge's eyes changed with fear, and the other students also took a breath and stared at Ellie.

Then he saw the girl raise the hammer, and then hit the tip of Umbridge's ring finger on her right hand.

"Boom!"

"oh!!!"
