Just a Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor

The early morning sun slowly rose along the outer wall of Hogwarts Castle.

Sherlock got out of bed on time at six o'clock, ready to check the teaching plan that had been simulated countless times for the last time before today's class started.

From the moment he met Professor McGonagall, he experienced a meeting with the Weasleys and finally arrived at Hogwarts to meet Dumbledore officially.

Sherlock didn't show any clues or oddities from beginning to end.

But these are just appetizers before the real test.

After entering Hogwarts, his Defense Against the Dark Arts class was the most attractive place.

At the opening dinner last night, Dumbledore stated very bluntly that although Sherlock was recruited into Hogwarts, he still did not trust his teaching ability very much.

The so-called investigation period means that Sherlock will definitely pay more attention in the next time.

Sherlock didn't care about his poor performance in class, and was expelled from Hogwarts by Dumbledore in anger.

Instead, it suits him.

But poor class performance doesn't mean that Sherlock has to show in the class a very obvious ignorance of magic, or the defensive magic he has studied for a long time.

A person who studied at Hogwarts for seven years and graduated with excellent grades, then spent more than a year as an Auror, devoted himself to two years of defensive magic and wrote a book, if he returned to school in his most The field of expertise, the performance is a mess.

Unless Dumbledore got Alzheimer's, it was impossible for Dumbledore not to doubt it.

Therefore, during the two months at home, Sherlock spent most of the rest of the time, in addition to focusing on being familiar with the basic spells, repeatedly reading the two books on defense magic written by the original owner, and designated them according to the research directions in the books. relevant teaching plans.

And today is the time to test his results.

After preparing all the materials that will be used in the first grade class, Sherlock went to the auditorium to settle breakfast, and then walked into the classroom with a book and a tied cloth bag.

There were several students in the classroom at this time, including Ginny, who had just entered school this year and was assigned to Gryffindor.

Yesterday, she was reminded by Percy, the only reliable brother in the school, to come to the classroom earlier to prevent the stairs in the castle from tricking the new students, causing them to be late for their first class.

After seeing Sherlock come to the classroom, the little girl was obviously a little excited.

With a flushed face, she walked to the podium and bowed respectfully to Sherlock.

"Thank you for the new textbook you sent me, Professor Forrest. I left before I could thank you last time. Mom said I must say thank you when I see you at school."

Sherlock raised his eyebrows slightly.

Weasley's tutor is actually quite good, but for some unknown reason, George and Fred are two troublemakers.

But even the Weasley twins are not bad by nature.

"With my relationship with your parents, there is no need to thank you for this." Sherlock said lightly.

After the incident in Diagon Alley, Ginny also knew Sherlock's seemingly indifferent personality. She made a serious promise that she would study hard in the future, and then trot back to her seat.

There were more and more students in the classroom, until the class bell rang, Sherlock tapped the podium with the end of his wand, signalling the chattering freshmen below to calm down, then he picked up the roster and began to roll.

This is the first class for this year's Ravenclaw and Gryffindor freshmen.

Most of the students still don't know the magic of Hogwarts Castle. Even if they rushed to the classroom as early as possible, three students were late.

"Having a correct concept of time has nothing to do with whether you can become a successful wizard in the future, but whether you will be a reliable person."

"Before the class starts, I want to emphasize that I hate students with poor time concept. Since this class is your first class after entering Hogwarts, I will not punish anyone who is late. , but I don't want a next time."

Following Sherlock's warning, the three Gryffindor students who were put into the classroom, who were late for fun in the castle, did not dare to take a breath. Sit down in an empty seat.

After all the students have arrived, the class officially begins.

Sherlock didn't ask them to open the textbook, but looked at all the little wizards below who were looking at him, and told the opening remarks of his first class.

"Defense Against the Dark Arts class, just like the name of the course, this class mainly teaches you Defense Against the Dark Arts."

"The so-called defense against the dark arts or defensive magic is actually a very general concept. As long as it has effective protection against black magic or evil magical creatures, it can be called defensive magic."

"So defensive magic~www.wuxiahere.com~ This is not a general term for a certain type of magic, even if the famous household cleaning spell "Clean Up" is used at the right time, it can also be called defensive A kind of magic."

Of course, this broad definition of defensive magic was not proposed by Sherlock, who had just arrived, but the original owner's book on defensive magic clearly expressed his support for this point of view.

The author of this view is a wizard who has been dead for more than 300 years, and it has become the mainstream view of the definition of defensive magic in the magic world.

"Defense Against the Dark Arts course is mostly useless in your future life, but as long as you need it to play a role, that's when it can save your life."

"It is precisely because of this that it can become one of the main courses of Hogwarts, and it is also the subject that involves the most theoretical knowledge, spells, and actual combat."

"Maybe the professors of each course have different opinions, but I think Defense Against the Dark Arts will be the hardest course you will learn at Hogwarts in the future, and the most interesting course."

"In this class, in addition to learning magic spells for enemies and defenses, you also need to memorize complicated knowledge about black magic creatures, and skillfully use every spell you have mastered."

"Because you have only officially started your magic study at Hogwarts today, so you can't make some practical attempts for the time being. First of all, we have to start with the theoretical aspects of understanding black magic creatures."

Speaking of which, Sherlock opened the bag he brought, and took out a model-sized object and placed it on the podium.

"Red Hat, the black magic creature we will learn in our first class."
