When Umbridge was rescued from the Centaur tribe by Dumbledore, she was able to recover for a few days. Of course, she did not stop voluntarily, but was recovering from her injuries.
The experience that night not only did not make him intend to stop, but instead made her brew more hatred deep in her heart. Even Dumbledore, who rescued her, was regarded by her as the mastermind behind everything.
The originator of the figurines.
During Umbridge's absence, the person who took her place in class was none other than Rolf Scamander. In fact, when Dumbledore first approached him, Rolf refused.
But this bad old man actually dared to use provocation, saying that if he was also afraid of Voldemort's curse, then this would definitely be intolerable. Then he agreed, and now he is standing on this podium.
When he stood here, he felt that he might have been fooled. But it didn't matter, the Defense Against the Dark Arts class was already bad enough anyway, even if he tried to show off, it wouldn't be too bad.
He suspected that Dumbledore must have thought so too, which was why he brought him here to fill the gap. And he did not intend to teach others any special skills, but regarded this class as a duel club scene.
To put it bluntly, the so-called Defense Against the Dark Arts course is actually a course that teaches students how to protect themselves. So what is more difficult than practical teaching to teach them how to protect themselves?
Of course, this is Rove's own personal statement, and his actual approach is to beat everyone who takes his course in class.
This made him, perhaps the only person, who defeated all the current students at Hogwarts before they even graduated. In fact, he didn't even defeat them 1 on 1, but 1 on 5 or more.
This once again made him a campus legend, and also made everyone recognize his ability to become a substitute teacher. Unfortunately, just when everyone was looking forward to his next class, Umbridge
came back.
Even though her injuries had not fully recovered, and some strange wounds could still be clearly seen on her face, she still insisted on returning to her post and continued her Defense Against the Dark Arts class.
From this point of view, her dedication is really touching. Unfortunately, the students did not feel this way at all. Instead, they felt that she came back at the wrong time.
Of course Umbridge wouldn't care, and she had no intention of teaching such a lesson well. She was just completing the task according to the script. What she really wanted to do was to eliminate Dumbledore's influence at Hogwarts.
wing.
After the Divination teacher, she found a new target: the Professor of Care of Magical Creatures: Hagrid. This tall half-giant was not only Dumbledore's die-hard loyalist, but he was also mentally ill.
This was an excellent target for Umbridge. So when Hagrid returned to the first Care of Magical Creatures class, Umbridge couldn't wait to arrive with her little notebook.
On-site course.
Seeing her appearance, Hagrid felt a little uncomfortable, but he didn't take it too seriously because he felt that there shouldn't be any big problems with the magical creatures he introduced in this class.
So what are the magical creatures that Hagrid introduces in this lesson? Of course, they are the same as when Umbridge in the original novel was inspecting his lessons. They are the loyal coachmen of Hogwarts: thestrals.
What happened next was not much different from the original work. Umbridge regarded Hagrid as a giant without any brains, and even her voice slowed down.
And her evaluation of him is that he relies on clumsy gestures to speak, has a poor memory, and shows pleasure in cruelty. According to her evaluation, Hagrid is simply the trustworthy giant boss in the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts.
Although in a sense, what she said is actually correct. But that is not the truth. Hagrid is a friendly and gentle person, but his giant gene still inevitably has some impact on his cognition.
This also gave Umbridge a loophole to take advantage of him. In short, she was very satisfied with the results of this class. So she walked away triumphantly before the get out of class ended.
Correspondingly, Hagrid's mood and performance began to deteriorate. In fact, Hermione had warned and helped him a long time ago, but unfortunately he didn't take it to heart, which led to this ending.
And Rolf soon learned about this from Hermione and Harry. He reassured them that Hagrid would be fine. Because Dumbledore was still here, he would not let Um go.
Richie did whatever he wanted at Hogwarts.
As for Rolf himself, he had another thing to do. As the weekend came, he summoned a cloak to disguise himself and replace him in Hogwarts activities.
And he himself wanted to go to some places and accomplish some things. In fact, he wanted to find those giants and teach them a lesson so that they would not participate in the future defense of Hogwarts.
Interestingly, when Rolf appeared in that valley, Voldemort's Death Eaters were planning to leave with several giants who were willing to become their lackeys.
Although most of the giants are on the same page with them, they are still unwilling to leave their last habitat to deal with the wizards. Unless Voldemort really comes to power, then they may still obey his orders.
At this time, Rolf's arrival naturally stimulated the Death Eaters and all the other giants. They started shouting and attacked Rolf.
This reaction seemed very funny to Rove, even jealous and unreal. However, at the moment when he was dazed, the Death Eaters' magic had already arrived in front of him.
But Rolf did nothing, and these magics were deflected and hit the giants who rushed over. However, the magic resistance of these giants was high enough, and it did not have much impact on them.
But when Rove attacked them, it was completely different. They didn't even see how Rove did it, and they were already beaten away.
Moreover, the giants who were knocked out by Rolf basically lost the ability to fight again. They lay on the ground in a twisted state, completely losing consciousness.
But this did not stop the other giants from going crazy. They still roared and rushed over, and then were flown out by Rolf at a faster speed, lying on the ground not knowing whether they were alive or dead.
On the contrary, the cunning Death Eaters quickly realized that something was wrong and turned around to escape, but were horrified to find that their magic had failed.
"You over there, you want to leave without even saying hello? Have you asked me for my opinion?"
