Snape didn't tell his jokes in the end, which I have to say is a pity. Felix believes that the professor is still very talented in telling cold jokes.

He secretly remembered that he has a Christmas gift next year.

Felix was sitting next to Snape and was about to make a joke when the main door of the auditorium suddenly opened, and a large blizzard was swept in from outside.

A chunky witch in pink came in, and Felix heard Professor McGonagall, who was two seats apart, took a deep breath, and her black eyebrows were tightly twisted together.

The pudgy witch was Dolores Umbridge. There were two people behind her. One was a thin, dark-skinned middle-aged wizard. He wore a golden ring on one ear and was proud. Luo dressed up.

Felix knew him, and when Minister Fudge came to the school to visit the Basilisk last year, he brought this person with him. Fudge called him "Kingsley."

The other was a witch, also dressed as an Auror, with a thick scarf on her face. From some of her lively little movements, it could be seen that she was young, and she was walking with Kingsley.

The smile on Dumbledore's face was reduced, and the expression of surprise lasted only a moment, and then he stood up and said politely, "What a rare visitor, I don't know you will come on this special day."

"The one who has never seen you, Professor Dumbledore." A conspicuous smirk appeared on Umbridge's toad face. "I'm not saying that your vice-principal is not serious enough... all for Finishing the work, just like me, will inevitably share the worries for Minister Fudge at Christmas."

Dumbledore said calmly: "I totally believe in Minerva, she has done a very good job."

Umbridge didn't seem to feel embarrassed at all, but the female Auror behind her had turned her head away and couldn't bear to look straight.

Kingsley stood up and said in a low, slow voice: "Dumbledore, we came here to share new information with you."

Umbridge immediately screamed: "Kingsley! I am the investigator appointed by the minister—"

Kingsley didn't look at her, but he explained in his next sentence: "I only accept Secretary Fudge and Scrimgeour's orders-Dumbledore, there is new progress regarding Sirius Black."

"I am listening, Kingsley," Dumbledore said softly.

"Someone found out that Sirius Black appeared in Knockoff Alley. According to the information we have-a hapless wizard was attacked from behind, and the attacker snatched his wand."

"So, did he rearm himself?" Dumbledore said, "I thought he would wander between the school and Hogsmeade."

Kingsley said: "We thought so before, so we relaxed our vigilance over there. But he may be more cunning than we thought. I am going to London tomorrow—this is Tonks, Scrimgeour hopes to be able to Pass messages through her."

"Tonks?" Dumbledore smiled and looked at the young witch.

"It's me, Principal Dumbledore, it's great to see you." The Auror said enthusiastically, taking off the scarf covering her face.

Kingsley explained: "Tonks is still at Hogsmeade most of the time, just as a precaution." He glanced at Umbridge impatiently with the pink bow on his cuff. "And she too Can restrain dementors."

Dumbledore nodded and said, "No problem, Hogwarts has the same appeal with the Ministry of Magic in this matter."

Kingsley fell silent, the man with a calm and quiet temperament, his sense of existence immediately diminished after he finished talking about the business.

Contrary to him, Umbridge finally found the opportunity. She said in an awkward little girl's voice: "Thank you Kingsley for your speech, Professor Dumbledore, I hope you can think about it again, Tonks— To some extent, it’s not quite conforming, and the Ministry of Magic is willing to send a permanent team..."

"We don't need to talk about this, Umbridge," Dumbledore insisted. "Go back and tell Fudge, if he has any ideas, let him come to me directly."

Felix almost understood from the side that Umbridge and Kingsley were not in the same group. Behind Umbridge stood Fudge. It might be a temptation or this woman made her own way. In short, she thought Putting the tentacles into Hogwarts, Professor McGonagall and Dumbledore pushed back.

Although Kingsley also obeyed Fudge's orders, he obviously didn't care about the attitude of the investigator Umbridge, and this time he also obeyed the command of Scrimgeour-Auror Office Director.

They left soon, and with this episode, the professors were in no mood to laugh. The topic inevitably touched on Umbridge. Black's threats were too far away, but this lady Toad was really hard to get a good impression.

Professor McGonagall said sharply: "I'm not a bad talker of others, but Umbridge—" Her nose was a little white, and she was obviously angry. "If you know how she treats her subordinates and her family, you will understand how I feel."

"Umbridge is bad for the family?" Felix asked.

"Heh! She has repeatedly declared that her ‘deceased’ father was an outstanding figure in Wiesengamao, but in fact he is living well."

Flitwick frowned and recalled: "I seem to have some impression that the surname Umbridge is still very rare. I remember more than ten years ago, there was a cleaner named Umbridge in the Ministry of Magic..."

At this time, students finally came over, and two first-year students showed up together, and it didn't take long for a sixth-grade Slytherin student to come with a gloomy face.

The topics discussed by the professors became lighter again. Dumbledore left halfway through and brought back a bunch of silver firecrackers when he reappeared. "This is a firecracker hat, just like the bibido beans. Every time it is a surprise."

He sent one to everyone on the table, and asked cheerfully: "Is there anyone who wants to try it?"

Felix looked at Snape. Dumbledore followed his gaze. He blinked and smiled and said, "Severus, you definitely don't want to miss this. "

While talking, Harry, Ron, and Hermione rushed over. They watched in surprise as Snape pulled away the cord of a silver firecracker with a look of impatience. The firecrackers slammed apart, revealing a lady's top hat. .

Dumbledore handed the hat to Snape, but Snape didn't want to push it away, so Dumbledore immediately replaced his wizard hat with it.

"Merry Christmas, ladies and gentlemen."

Harry looked at Dumbledore's new image in amazement, and they were speechless for a moment.

After eating this feast for two full hours, everyone was very happy. No one went to talk about the unappetizing topic of Umbridge, except for Trelawney who appeared in the middle, and had to count the number of people before sitting down. , When she counted twice and it was still thirteen, she couldn't help but yelled for a while.

It wasn't until Felix politely reminded her that she might have forgotten to count herself, and Trelawney sat down silently.
