"The Ministry of Magic has always considered the education of young witches and wizards to be of  vital  importance," Umbridge announced, pacing to the side as it seemed she had this speech prepared." Although each new Headmaster has brought something... new to this historic school..." she said, turning to Dumbledore expectantly, as the Headmaster nodded with a fake smile, as if to tell her to get it over with. "Progress for the sake of progress  must  be discouraged." I furrowed my eyebrows. That’s an idiotic notion. No progress leads to stale and stagnation. Which was the current state of the magical world. "Let us preserve what must be preserved. Perfect what  can  be perfected, and prune practices that ought to be...  prohibited ," she finished, with a tiny chuckle that could make a ghost shiver. Dumbledore expressionlessly clapped his hands to bit her off the raised section of the floor. The irritation was noticeable on his face.
