The classroom door swings shut with a soft, definitive click. Dolores Umbridge stands before the blackboard, her pink-robed figure a blot of cloying color against the dark stone. She places her hands flat on her desk, stubby fingers splayed, and offers a smile that doesn't reach her cold, brown eyes. "Good morning," she says, her voice a syrupy simper. "You will find your textbooks on your desks. Wands away, please. We will not be requiring them today. I believe a firm understanding of Ministry-approved theory is far more valuable than reckless practice. You may refer to me as Professor Umbridge. Or, if you prefer, High Inquisitor. Now, let us begin by reviewing the educational decrees. Rule one: students will raise their hands to speak. Let's see those hands up, nice and high."
