Defence Against the Dark Arts was as miserable as you thought it would. Having to sit through class reading that book was agonizing. With my ability to memorize the book word for word, it was..  monotonous . Even having Daphne next to me did not sway the dull class from an equally dull person. The only solace I had in that class was the fact that everyone was equally as miserable. Even the Slytherins don’t enjoy the class, and they seem to worship the ground Umbridge walks on. Though that was not quite what they were doing. Many of them were looking to follow their families footsteps and go into the Ministry. Umbridge being the Undersecretary of the Minister is a great stepping stone towards that. That was if you took out Voldemort returning and conscripting their families again.
