A new week has begun again. After lunch, the Gryffindor students came to the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom with great interest.

Umbridge is still lying in St. Mungo's Hospital with that toad's head on her head, and she doesn't know which professor will take her place.

Everyone thought that this year would be like previous years, with other professors helping to teach. However, when the class bell rang, a strange face walked in from the outside - a middle-aged man with gray hair.

Her hair and hair were meticulously taken care of, and she had a pair of delicate gold-rimmed glasses on her nose.

"Good afternoon, classmates."

Just when everyone was looking at each other, the man on the podium spoke.

"My name is Piers Sampson, and I'm here to teach you in place of Professor Umbridge." He introduced himself in an indifferent manner.

"Good afternoon, Professor Sampson."

After hesitating for a moment, everyone responded in a coherent manner.

Fortunately, the new professor was not as critical as Umbridge. He just nodded indifferently and said, "Now, please put away your wand and take out your quill."

There was a sudden cry of mourning below.

Although there was a new professor, the process of the Defense Against the Dark Arts course did not seem to have changed much.

Although everyone found it very boring, they still followed it. Anyway, this was how the class was done before.

"Fish, you must not attack this professor again." Hermione warned in a low voice to the little fur cat who had turned into a cat.

"Meow~"

(=?w?=)

Fish stood on the table, rubbed Hermione's arm with his head, and responded casually.

If this new professor wasn't so annoying, he wouldn't be bothered to do it again. Not only would he have to be scolded by Professor McGonagall, but there would also be other punishments... What a waste.

Professor Sampson heard Fish's meow and glanced here, but he didn't say anything more, but continued to say indifferently: "Turn the textbook to page 25, you have the next lesson.

You should have learned this..."

"Fudge won't give up so easily, will he?" Hermione covered her cheek with her textbook and whispered.

Of course, the person she was chatting with was not Fish, who was sleeping on the table, but Hannah Abbott, the Hufflepuff prefect sitting next to her. To be precise, it was Hermione who sat next to Hannah on purpose.

around.

"You are right, Hermione." Hannah sighed, and also lowered her voice and replied: "I will compile the list in the next two days and hand it to you before the weekend."

Hermione nodded and did not speak any more. Instead, she lowered her head and read the "Magical Defense Theory" in her hand that she had already read.

A boring Defense Against the Dark Arts class ended, and the topic about the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor quickly became a topic among the students.

And by dinner time, a well-informed student had already informed everyone of his origins.

Like Umbridge, Piers Sampson was also assigned by the Ministry of Magic. It is said that he was once an Auror, but later his job was adjusted and he was transferred to the Department of Magical Law Enforcement to investigate counterfeit defensive spells and protective equipment.

Worked in the Collection Office, and then came to Hogwarts after Umbridge was attacked...

Obviously, the strength of the people sent by the Ministry of Magic this time should be guaranteed... Although there is not much difference between the two, whether it is Fish or Dumbledore, who took the blame.

Although Professor Sampson used to be an Auror and is actually not an outsider in Defense Against the Dark Arts, like Umbridge, he still takes orders from Cornelius Fudge, so he does not have any influence on the way he teaches.

Change.

The only good thing is that Professor Sampson is not as annoying as Umbridge. Although he has an indifferent attitude, he does not have many demands on his students. He feels like a living Professor Binns.

For Pierre Sampson, teaching at Hogwarts is just a task assigned by the superiors.

The situation in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class disappointed everyone, but it also allowed some students to see clearly the Ministry of Magic's thoughts. Some students who were originally hesitant about accepting Hermione's invitation made up their minds.

Therefore, during this period of time, Hermione has been busy discussing the Dueling Club with the prefects of various colleges. She even neglected Fish a little.

Originally, she didn't need to be so busy, because she had almost already contacted them. She just had to wait for Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw to sort out the lists of their respective houses, and then go to the library to discuss it.

However, during this period, the Ministry of Magic promulgated "Education Order No. 24".

Rather than saying it is an educational order, it is more like a reward order. The content is very simple. It tells the staff and students of Hogwarts that if they find anything suspicious, they can notify the Ministry of Magic and there will be generous rewards.

As soon as this education order is issued, Hermione's actions must be concealed, and the list that has been set must also go through a new round of screening to prevent students who have been seduced by the Ministry of Magic.

It's one thing to have confidence in your cat's affinity, but it's another thing to be cautious.

On the other hand, Fish was not angry at being left out. Firstly, it was because he knew what Hermione was busy with recently, and secondly...

The little fur cat has not been having a good time lately either.

In order to punish the cat that got into trouble, Professor McGonagall asked Fish not to use the shorthand quill given to him by Rita Skeeter to write homework, and in addition to the usual homework, she would assign an extra one every day.

A piece of homework for Cat.

Even the task of supervising Fish's homework, Professor McGonagall took it back from Hermione. Recently, Cat and Cat completed their homework with Professor McGonagall before returning to the dormitory.

…

"Finally finished, meow!"

?(?`Д′?)?

Fish threw away the quill in his hand and slumped down on the chair, almost sliding under the table with such a lazy look.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Professor McGonagall raised her head and raised her eyebrows in surprise.

"Why did you finish so quickly today? Are you trying to be naughty again?" She stared at Fei Xu with warning eyes.

"No meow!" Maomao kept moving his buttocks to sit up straight, "Today is Hermione's birthday, and Fish has to rush back to celebrate her, meow!"

?(?Φ﹃Φ?)?

The little greedy cat explained to Professor McGonagall with a trace of crystal on its lips.

"oh……"

Professor McGonagall suddenly realized it. She smiled and took Fish's homework from him and examined it carefully.

As long as Fish was a little more serious, he would basically have no trouble with his Hogwarts homework. After Professor McGonagall checked it over and found that there were no mistakes or omissions, he put him back.

"Since today is Hermione's birthday, I won't give you any extra homework." Professor McGonagall said as she took out a small box and handed it to Fish, "This is the birthday gift I prepared for her.

Give it to Hermione for me."

…

"Mibu Mibao." Hermione used the command to open the portrait of the Fat Lady, and then got in through the hole in the wall.

She had just returned from the library. After spending so long, she finally finalized the first batch of personnel lists together with several other prefects.

The next step is to notify Fei Xu, and then set a time to gather everyone together to sign a contract and set a schedule.

Hermione was thinking as she crawled through the hole in the wall and arrived at the Gryffindor common room.

"Bang!"

As soon as her feet landed, she saw countless colorful ribbons exploding in front of her, and then Fei Xu jumped over in one stride.

"Hermione~Happy birthday meow~"

?●w●?

Feishu rushed up and gave her a big hug.

"Ah..." Hermione then remembered that today is her birthday. She had been busy with the Duel Club recently and had forgotten about it.

However, after being pleasantly surprised for a moment, she soon showed an annoyed look.

After having her birthday party disrupted by those evil little witches for two consecutive years, Hermione originally planned to spend this year's birthday secretly outside with Fish.

As a result... I was busy and forgot.

"Hermione?"

(??w??)?

Fish tilted his head to look at her and waved his hand twice in front of her eyes.

"I'm fine," Hermione came back to her senses, smiled, took Maomao's hand, and walked to the center of the common room. At the same time, she smiled and said to the girls around her who came to celebrate her birthday: "

Thank you so much!”
