Hogwarts and the Atypical Wizard

Chapter 356 Umbridge's Purpose

Saiens thought to himself, "Damn it, does Sai look so much like a weakness that he actually uses me as a breakthrough point?"

Umbridge first tried to test whether Sai was a die-hard fan of Dumbledore. Finding that there was no mindless worship of Dumbledore in Sai's words, she immediately said that Fudge admired Sai very much, and said that besides Fudge, there were many other famous people who admired him very much.

Toad found that Sainz was not excited to hear this, but she did not give up. She changed the direction and started talking about his previously published papers.

Sainz was attracted by these topics and started talking about magic with Toad.

He guessed that Toad thought he had discovered his weakness.

I guess in this person's concept, life is nothing more than power, fame and wealth!

She first used power to attract Sai, but when she saw that Sai showed no submission or interest in power, she changed her mind and started talking about academics.

This time, she really found Sai's "weakness".

The impression Sainz gave her was that of a "scholar" who didn't like power but cared very much about his academic reputation.

There is indeed such a group of people in society who may disdain power and even have no interest in money and benefits, but they spend their entire lives pursuing the goal of leaving their own name in the "academic world".

When the toad "discovered" that Sai was also this kind of person, he immediately adjusted his way of speaking and the direction of the conversation. During the conversation, he praised Saiens' magical talent.

Something like he is the smartest wizard in hundreds of years and will definitely achieve achievements comparable to or even surpass Dumbledore's in the future.

Sai himself also believed what she said, and he was not at all nervous when talking about it. This might have made the other party discover one of his weaknesses - arrogance. Umbridge smiled more often and praised him more enthusiastically.

"It's been a pleasure talking to you, Professor Umbridge," Sainz said.

"Me too," Umbridge said with a big smile on her face. "Professor Autumn is really the most knowledgeable young wizard I have ever met. I have gained a lot from chatting with you. You are really amazing! You will definitely become an amazing wizard in the future."

"But I have to take my leave, Professor Umbridge. I have classes tomorrow and need to prepare in advance."

"That's a pity," said Umbridge. "We can only talk about it next time we have a chance." Then she pretended to think of Hagrid inadvertently, "Your attitude towards students is ten thousand times more serious and responsible than Hagrid. By the way, I didn't see Hagrid this time. Do you know where he went?"

"I don't know," Sainz said, "I haven't seen him since the start of this semester. Maybe he resigned... Oh... I have to go. Goodbye, Professor Umbridge."

"Goodbye, Professor Autumn!"

Coming down from the third floor, Sainz turned and entered Professor McGonagall's office.

"I hope I'm not disturbing you, Professor McGonagall."

"Oh, no," Professor McGonagall put away the paper in her hand, "What's the matter?"

Sainz was polite to the professor he was familiar with, pulled a chair and sat down next to Professor McGonagall's desk, "I just came out of the headmaster's office and was invited by Umbridge to her office."

"she?"

"Yeah. Professor, has she talked to you?"

"Come to think of it, she did want me to go to her office once," Professor McGonagall's mouth twitched. That was probably the most contemptuous thing she could do, "but I refused."

"Oh, that makes sense. She probably wants to use me as a breakthrough point against Dumbledore."

"Then she will probably be disappointed." Professor McGonagall's tone was full of certainty.

"Hey, professor, I talked a lot along with her," Sainz said teasingly. "It can be seen that she prepared a lot for this conversation. She even read my previous papers."

"Sainth," Professor McGonagall said cautiously, "Umbridge is not an easy person to deal with. You better be careful. If she finds out that you have fooled her, I don't think she will let it go."

"I know, Professor, you know me."

"Yes, it's not easy to get an advantage from you. Dumbledore often says so."

"Eh? Is this how the principal ruined my reputation behind my back?" Sainz pretended to be dissatisfied. "I have to talk to him about it. He is slandering me!"

"Well, if you have nothing else to do, please leave now. You are already a professor, yet you are still so unruly all day long!" Professor McGonagall began to order them to leave.

"Hey! Professor, has slander become popular in Hogwarts now?" Sainz made an exaggerated expression, "How am I not serious? I was very serious when I taught the students, and I received unanimous praise from the students!"

"Hey, close the door when you go out." Professor McGonagall ignored him and picked up the paper she had just thrown away. "By the way, about the paper we talked about last time, you..."

"Oh, I suddenly remembered that there's still goose stewing in the pot. Goodbye, professor!" Without waiting for Professor McGonagall to urge him to submit his manuscript, Sainz made up an excuse to fool around and slipped away.

“Luckily I ran fast, otherwise I would have been urged to do my homework again!

Speaking of which, I just lied to Professor McGonagall and said there was a goose stewing in the pot. Now that I have said it, why don’t I really stew a goose tonight to try it? Okay, let’s do it!”

If you want to eat geese, you don’t have to go out to buy them. There are geese in his zoo. They were added later as food for the magical animals.

When he arrived at the Room of Requirement, he did not disturb Conte and Jinling who were working, but just summoned an unlucky guy from the ordinary animal area.

With a wave of the magic wand, the blood was drained and the hair was removed... In the blink of an eye, a clean white stripe appeared in the air.

He waved his magic wand again and a pressure cooker appeared.

With three waves of the magic wand, all the ingredients go into the pot, cover it, and light the fire.

In fact, if you use Min's food spell, a pot of cooked roast goose will appear on the table in just one click, and it will be his favorite taste.

But he rarely does that nowadays.

This situation is very similar to that in some high-tech future world, people can synthesize food that is perfect in terms of color, aroma, etc., but people will instead pursue natural, less perfect food.

This situation is more common the more developed the place is. We don't even need to rely on high technology to get there. Just to say that in Sai's previous life, the more developed the city, the more people pursued natural food.

In fact, life is just too good and we have too much free time!

"Well, it tastes pretty good."

Goose is a large bird. Generally speaking, if the cooking skills are not good enough, the meat will easily become tough. However, Sai has some talent in cooking, and the braised goose he made is soft, tender and delicious.

While eating the roast goose that took a lot of time to make, Saiens was thinking about what kind of set meal he should arrange for Umbridge.
