"What's going on?" Kanna asked.

"Just as we guessed before, Umbridge... or the Ministry of Magic is targeting the professors." Kyle said, "But there is one thing I didn't expect."

"What?"

"About Professor Trelawney." Kyle put a piece of toast on his plate. "I think she does have some gift of prophecy."

"Who, Professor Trelawney?" Cedric asked in surprise, then he shook his head, "As far as I know, except for those who want to get all the certificates, no one else will choose to take Divination classes after the sixth grade. It's meaningless, and you can't learn anything in her class."

"Yeah, you're right." Kyle said with a smile, "Maybe she's just lucky."

By the afternoon, Kyle had to admit that he seemed to have underestimated Umbridge's courage.

The first class in the afternoon was Transfiguration. When Kyle walked into the classroom, he saw Umbridge sitting in a corner with her writing board.

But when Professor McGonagall walked into the classroom, she seemed not to have seen her and just walked past.

"It looks like Umbridge has hit a wall this time." Qiu, who was in the same class with them, lowered her voice and said gloatingly, "Professor McGonagall is not someone you can easily mess with."

"Yeah." Kyle couldn't help but laugh.

Professor McGonagall strode to the podium, then turned around, and the whole classroom fell silent in an instant.

"Okay, let's start the class." Professor McGonagall said, "After a month of study, almost all students have mastered the basic human body deformation, so we will increase the difficulty again..."

"Cough, cough." There was a cough from the back of the classroom, and Umbridge stood up, looking like she wanted to say something.

But Professor McGonagall ignored her as if she didn't see anything.

"The so-called advanced human transformation means that in addition to the appearance, one must also have the corresponding ability. Just like in the second event of the Triwizard Tournament last year, the Durmstrang warrior turned his upper body into a shark in the Black Lake. This was a successful human transformation..."

"Ahem." Umbridge coughed again.

After being interrupted again, Professor McGonagall turned around and said, "What's the matter? What do you want to say?"

"I just want to ask if it's too early for them to learn human transformation now." Umbridge said, "From what I know, this kind of human transformation is very dangerous."

"I obviously disagree with you," said Professor McGonagall. "They are all the best students in the sixth grade. If they have to learn how to turn a teapot into a rabbit, it will be really dangerous.

"Besides, my advanced class courses have always been like this. Didn't you know this before?"

Umbridge looked as if she had been slapped, her face turning blue and red.

When she was at Hogwarts, Professor McGonagall was already teaching Transfiguration... but it was obvious that her grades were not up to standard for the advanced class.

So, Professor McGonagall's words just now were almost a mockery of her poor grades in front of everyone.

There was a low chuckle in the classroom.

Umbridge's face turned even uglier.

"Cough, cough." She coughed again.

But this time, before she could say anything, Professor McGonagall spoke first: "That's enough. If you want to know what's going on in my class, please don't interrupt me one after another.

"Also, I don't allow others to talk during class!"

Professor McGonagall was not polite at all. Umbridge felt as if the other half of her face had also been slapped. She was so angry that her whole body was shaking, and she was scratching on the writing board in anger.

Although Kyle couldn't see what she wrote, he was sure it was not a good thing. The way she crossed out the word was too obvious.

And in the following classes, Umbridge did not make herself bored again? It was not until Professor McGonagall announced the end of the class and the students filed out of the classroom that Umbridge stood up with a stern face and walked towards the podium.

Kyle loosened his grip and the book and quill in his hand fell to the ground, forcing him to stop and pick them up.

Kanna also turned back from the front to help.

"How long have you been at Hogwarts?" asked Umbridge.

Professor McGonagall snapped the book shut and said stiffly, "It will be thirty-nine years this December."

"Oh... almost forty years..." Connor said in surprise, "Has Professor McGonagall been in school for that long?"

"Of course, don't forget that many professors have taken her Transfiguration class, such as Professor Snape, and..." Kyle pointed at Umbridge, indicating that there was also her.

As she spoke, Umbridge, who had just written something on the writing board, looked up again and asked, "By the way, I heard that many students have been injured in this course. Have you ever thought that there might be something wrong with your teaching method?"

Professor McGonagall's eyebrows almost came together, and she said in an extremely cold voice:

"I don't think I need anyone to teach me Transfiguration.

"And if you mean Mr. Longbottom and Mr. Finnigan, I must tell you that even a simple illumination charm is not completely safe for them."

"Oh?" said Umbridge. "Have you ever thought about not letting students use wands for their own safety? That would solve the problem, wouldn't it?"

"I remember you fell down the stairs when you were running out of school yesterday." Professor McGonagall asked, "Why didn't you sit in the office all the time?"

Umbridge said nothing, but made a few notes on the writing board with a grim face.

"Very good," she said. "You will receive the results of your investigation within ten days."

"I can't wait." Professor McGonagall said coldly. She glanced at Umbridge who was rubbing the back of her hand, and asked in a tone that seemed to be concerned:

"How's your hand?"

"It's just a small thing." Umbridge was a little slow to react, mistakenly thinking that Professor McGonagall was trying to be friendly.

"Maybe I came across something enchanted while cleaning the office."

She said, "I don't find it strange at all. There has never been a normal person in that office before. Even the mentally ill Moody and a werewolf have lived there..."

Umbridge said with disgust, "I threw everything away, just like those unreasonable systems in the school should also be thrown away."

"Really?" Professor McGonagall looked at him meaningfully, but said nothing and strode towards the door.

She waved her wand and a piece of parchment flew from the ground into Kyle's hands.

"So here it is, thank you, Professor McGonagall," said Kyle. "I couldn't find it before."

Kanna lowered her head in embarrassment.

After all, the parchment was right at the entrance... Kyle could actually say so naturally that he hadn't found it...

"Hurry up, don't delay the next class." Professor McGonagall said and walked out of the classroom.

Connor didn’t know if it was an illusion, but she seemed to see Professor McGonagall smile just now.
