.He.imagined.trying.to.conceal.from.Hermione.that.he.had.received.T.s.in.all.his.OWLs.and.immediately.resolved.to.work.harder.from.now.on..
.You.lot.had.an.inspected.lesson.yet?..Fred.asked.them..
.No,..said.Hermione.at.once...Have.you?..
.Just.now,.before.lunch,..said.George...Charms...
THE.Hoc.WARTS.HIGH.INQUISITOR.
.What.was.it.like?..Harry.and.Hermione.asked.together..
Fred.shrugged..
.Not.that.bad..Umbridge.just.lurked.in.the.corner.making.notes.on.a.clipboard.
.You.know.what.Flitwick.s.like,.he.treated.her.like.a.guest,.didn.t.seem.to.bother.him.at.all..She.didn.t.say.much..Asked.Alicia.a.couple.of.questions.about.what.the.classes.are.normally.like,.Alicia.told.her.they.were.really.good,.that.was.it...
.I.can.t.see.old.Flitwick.getting.marked.down,..said.George,..he.usually.gets.everyone.through.their.exams.all.right...
.Who.ve.you.got.this.afternoon?..Fred.asked.Harry..
Trelawney.‐..
.A..T..if.ever.I.saw.one...
.‐.and.Umbridge.herself...
.Well,.be.a.good.boy.and.keep.your.temper.with.Umbridge.today..said.George.
.
.Angelina.ll.do.her.nut.if.you.miss.any.more.Quidditch.practices...
But.Harry.did.not.have.to.wait.for.Defence.Against.the.Dark.Arts.to.meet.Professor.Umbridge..He.was.pulling.out.his.dream.diary.in.a.seat.at.the.very.
back.of.the.shadowy.Divination.room.when.Ron.elbowed.him.in.the.ribs.and,
.looking.round,.he.saw.Professor.Umbridge.emerging.through.the.trapdoor.in.the.floor..The.class,.which.had.been.talking.cheerily.fell.silent.at.once..The.abrupt.fall.in.the.noise.level.made.Professor.Trelawney,.who.had.been.wafting.about.handing.out.copies.of.The.Dream.Oracle,.look.round..
.Good.afternoon,.Professor.Trelawney,..said.Professor.Umbridge.with.her.wide.smile...You.received.my.note,.I.trust?.Giving.the.time.and.date.of.your.inspection?..
Professor.Trelawney.nodded.curtly.and,.looking.very.disgruntled,.turned.her.back.on.Professor.Umbridge.and.continued.to.give.out.books..Still.smiling,
.Professor.Umbridge.grasped.the.back.of.the.nearest.armchair.and.pulled.it.to.the.front.of.the.class.so.that.it.was.a.few.inche.behind.Professor.Trelawneys.seat.
.She.then.sat.down,.took.her.clipboard.from.her.flowery.bag.and.looked.up.expectantly,.waiting.for.the.class.to.begin..
Professor.Trelawney.pulled.her.shawls.tight.about.her.with.slightly.trembling.hands.and.surveyed.the.class.through.her.hugely.mgnifying.lenses..
.We.shall.be.continuing.our.study.of.prophetic.dreams.today,..she.said.in.a.brave.attempt.at.her.usual.mystic.tones,.though.her.voice.shook.slightly...Divide.into.pairs,.please,.and.interpret.each.other.s.latest.night‐time.visions.with.the.aid.of.the.Oracle...
She.made.as.though.to.sweep.back.to.her.seat,.saw.Professor.Umbridge.sitting.right.beside.it,.and.immediately.veered.left.towards.Parvati.and.Lavender,.who.were.already.deep.in.discussion.about.Parvati.s.most.recent.dream..
Harry.opened.his.copy.of.The.Dream.Oracle,.watching.Umbridge.covertly..She.was.already.making.notes.on.her.clipboard..After.a.few.minutes.she.got.to.her.ieet.and.began.to.pace.the.room.in.Trelawney.s.wake,.listening.to.her.conversations.with.students.and.posing.questions.here.and.there..Harry.bent.his.head.hurriedly.over.his.book..
