'Quite correct��' said Professor Grubbly´Plank�察�hands behind her back and bouncing on the balls of her feet。 'I am a substitute teacher standing in for Professor Hagrid。'
Harry exchanged uneasy looks with Ron and Hermione。 Malfoy was whispering with Crabbe and Goyle�察�he would surely love this opportunity to tell tales on Hagrid to a member of the Ministry。
'Hmm��' said Professor Umbridge�察�dropping her voice�察�though Harry could still hear her quite clearly。 'I wonder ´ the Headmaster seems strangely reluctant to give me any information on the matter ´ can you tell me what is causing Professor Hagrid's very extended leave of absence��'
Harry saw Malfoy look up eagerly and watch Umbridge and Grubbly´Plank closely。
'Fraid I can't��' said Professor Grubbly´Plank breezily。 'Don't know anything more about it than you do。 Got an owl from Dumbledore�察�would I like a couple of weeks' teaching work。 I accepted。 That's as much as I know。 Well�此�shall I get started then��'
'Yes�察�please do��' said Professor Umbridge�察�scribbling on her clipboard。
Umbridge took a different tack in this class and wandered amongst the students�察�questioning them on magical creatures。 Most people were able to answer well and Harry's spirits lifted somewhat�察�at least the class was not letting Hagrid down。
'Overall��' said Professor Umbridge�察�returning to Professor Grubbly´Plank's side after a lengthy interrogation of Dean Thomas�察�'how do you�察�as a temporary member of staff´ an objective outsider��
I suppose you might say ´ how do you find Hogwarts�拭�Do you feel you receive enough support from the school management��'
'Oh�察�yes�察�Dumbledore's excellent��' said Professor Grubbly´Plank heartily。 'Yes�察�I'm very happy with the way things are run�察�very happy indeed。'
Looking politely incredulous�察�Umbridge made a tiny note on her clipboard and went on�察�'And what are you planning to cover with this class this year ´ assuming�察�of course�察�that Professor Hagrid does not return��'
'Oh�察�I'll take them through the creatures that most often e up in OWL��' said Professor Grubbly´Plank。 'Not much left to do ´ they've studied unicorns and Nifflers�察�I thought we'd cover Porlocks and Kneazles�察�make sure they can recognise Crups and Knarls�察�you know��'
'Well�察�you seem to know what you're doing�察�at any rate��' said Professor Umbridge�察�making a very obvious tick on her clipboard。 Harry did not like the emphasis she put on 'you' and liked it even less when she put her next question to Goyle。 'Now�察�I hear there have been injuries in this class��'
Goyle gave a stupid grin。 Malfoy hastened to answer the question。
That was me��' he said。 'I was slashed by a Hippogriff。'
'A Hippogriff��' said Professor Umbridge�察�now scribbling frantically。
'Only because he was too stupid to listen to what Hagrid told him to do��' said Harry angrily。
Both Ron and Hermione groaned。 Professor Umbridge turned her head slowly in Harry's direction。
'Another nights detention�察�I think��' she said softly。 'Well�察�thank you very much�察�Professor Grubbly´Plank�察�I think that's all I need here。 You will be receiving the results of your inspection within ten days。'
'Jolly good��' said Professor Grubbly´Plank�察�and Professor Umbridge set off back across the lawn to the castle。

It was nearly midnight when Harry left Umbridge's office that night�察�his hand now bleeding so severely that it was staining the scarf he had wrapped around it。 He expected the mon room to be empty when he returned�察�but Ron and Hermione had sat up waiting for him。 He was pleased to see them�察�especially as Hermione was disposed to be sympathetic rather than critical。
'Here��' she said anxiously�察�pushing a small bowl of yellow liquid towards him�察�'soak your hand in that�察�it's a solution of strained and pickled Murtlap tentacles�察�it should help。'
Harry placed his bleeding�察�aching hand into the bowl and experienced a wonderful feeling of relief。 Crookshanks curled around his legs�察�purring loudly�察�then leapt into his lap and settled down。
'Thanks��' he said gratefully�察�scratching behind Crookshanks's ears with his left hand。
'I still reckon you should plain about this��' said Ron in a low voice。
'No��' said Harry flatly。
'McGonagall would go nuts if she knew ´'
'Yeah�察�she probably would��' said Harry dully。 'And how long do you reckon it'd take Umbridge to pass another decree saying anyone who plains about the High Inquisitor gets sacked immediately��'
Ron opened his mouth to retort but nothing came out and�察�after a moment�察�he closed it again�察�defeated。
'She's an awful woman��' said Hermione in a small voice。 'Awful。 You know�察�I was just saying to Ron when you came in�此�we've got to do something about her。'
'I suggested poison��' said Ron grimly。
'No�此�I mean�察�something about what a dreadful teacher she is�察�and how we're not going to learn any Defence from her at all��' said Hermione。
'Well�察�what can we do about that��' said Ron�察�yawning。 ;S too late�察�isn't it�拭�She's got the job�察�she's here to stay。 Fudge'll make sure of that。'
'Well��' said Hermione tentatively。 'You know�察�I was thinking today��' she shot a slightly nervous look at Harry and then plunged on�察�'I was thinking that ´ maybe the time's e when we should just ´ just do it ourselves。'
'Do what ourselves��' said Harry suspiciously�察�still floating his hand in the essence of Murtlap tentacles。
'Well ´ learn Defence Against the Dark Arts ourselves��' said Hermione。
'e off it��' groaned Ron。 'You want us to do extra work�拭�D'you realise Harry and I are behind on homework again and it's only the second week��'
'But this is much more important than homework��' said Hermione。
Harry and Ron goggled at her。
'I didn't think there was anything in the universe more important than homework��' said Ron。
'Don't be silly�察�of course there is��' said Hermione�察�and Harry saw�察�with an ominous feeling�察�that her face was suddenly alight with the kind of fervour that SPEW usually inspired in her。 'It's about preparing ourselves�察�like Harry said in Umbridge's first lesson�察�for what's waiting for us out there。 It's about making sure we really can defend ourselves。 If we don't learn anything for a whole year ´'
'We can't do much by ourselves��' said Ron in a defeated voice。 'I mean�察�all right�察�we can go and look jinxes up in the library and try and practise them�察�I suppose ´'
'No�察�I agree�察�we've gone past the stage where we can just learn things out of books��' said Hermione。 'We need a teacher�察�a proper one�察�who can show us how to use the spells and correct us if we're going wrong。'
'If you're talking about Lupin��' Harry began。
'No�察�no�察�I'm not talking about Lupin��' said Hermione。 'He's too busy with the Order and�察�anyway�察�the most we could see him is during Hogsmeade weekends and that's not nearly often enough。'
'Who�察�then��' said Harry�察�frowning at her。
Hermione heaved a very deep sigh。
'Isn't it obvious��' she said。 'I'm talking about you�察�Harry。'
There was a moment's silence。 A light night breeze rattled the windowpanes behind Ron�察�and the fire guttered。
'About me what��' said Harry。
'I'm talking about you teaching us Defence Against the Dark Arts。'
Harry stared at her。 Then he turned to Ron�察�ready to exchange the exasperated looks they sometimes shared when Hermione elaborated on far´fetched schemes like SPEW To Harry's consternation�察�however�察�Ron did not look exasperated。
He was frowning slightly�察�apparently thinking。 Then he said�察�That's an idea。'
'What's an idea��' said Harry。
'You��' said Ron。 Teaching us to do it。'
'But��'
Harry was grinning now�察�sure the pair of them were pulling his leg。
'But I'm not a teacher�察�I can't ´'
'Harry�察�you're the best in the year at Defence Against the Dark Arts��' said Hermione。
'Me��' said Harry�察�now grinning more broadly than ever。 'No I'm not�察�you've beaten me in every test ´
'Actually�察�I haven't��' said Hermione coolly。 'You beat me in our third year ´ the only year we both sat the test and had a teacher who actually knew the subject。 But I'm not talking about test results�察�Harry。 Think what you've done��'
'How d'you mean��'
'You know what�察�I'm not sure I want someone this stupid teaching me��' Ron said to Hermione�察�smirking slightly。 He turned to Harry。
'Let's think��' he said�察�pulling a face like Goyle concentrating。 'Uh�此�first year ´ you saved the Philosopher's Stone from You´Know´Who。'
'But that was luck��' said Harry�察�'it wasn't skill ´'
'Second year��' Ron interrupted�察�'you killed the Basilisk and destroyed Riddle。'
'Yeah�察�but if Fawkes hadn't turned up�察�I ´'
Third year��' said Ron�察�louder still�察�'you fought off about a hundred Dementors at once ´'
'You know that was a fluke�察�if the Time´Turner hadn't ´'
'Last year��' Ron said�察�almost shouting now�察�'you fought off You´Know´Who again ´'
'Listen to me��' said Harry�察�almost angrily�察�because Ron and Hermione were both smirking now。 'Just listen to me�察�all right�拭�It sounds great when you say it like that�察�but all that stuff
