Chapter 247: Professor Scamander (Part 3)
PS: Last month's 2200 monthly pass was added
The dismissal of Professor Sybil Trelawney has re-immersed the campus, which had been filled with a bit of joy.
Two teachers have already been chased away by Umbridge's pink toad...... Nothing seemed to stop her, not even Professor Dumbledore.
However, Dumbledore also hired a divination teacher as quickly as possible, and did not give Umbridge the opportunity to arrange for another teacher to come to Hogwarts.
The new teacher of the divination class is a centaur named "Ferenze".
When Umbridge saw Ferenze, the look on her face was shocked.
Rather than go to Sita and squeeze into an office with Professor Trelawney (Professor Trelawney wouldn't theoretically be happy about it), he lived on the ground floor, and Professor McGonagall had cleaned up a room for him.
This made Umbridge's teeth itch even more.
But Umbridge also understands that after having already expelled two teachers, trying to make a big story at the school might cause public outrage (although in a sense, she has already caused public outrage).
So after firing Professor Trelawney, she seems to have settled down a bit.
......
At eight o'clock on Friday morning, the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom, which had not been used for almost half a year, was already full of students.
The fourth-year students of Hufflepuff and Slytherin both houses had expectant expressions on their faces.
They flipped through the Defense of the Magic Theory while they waited for the arrival of the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher.
At ten o'clock, as the castle bell rang, Professor Newt Scamander walked into the classroom.
"Good morning!" Professor Scamander said gently, and then began to pull out a roster, starting with the roll call in order:
"Sean Avery......"
"Here!" Avery hurriedly shouted.
When "Eloise Meadgan" was clicked, I saw Eloise stand up in a panic: "Professor Scamander, can you sign my book "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them?"
It immediately caused a burst of laughter from the entire classroom.
"I think I'd be glad to do so, Miss Midgan!" Professor Scamander smiled as well, "but that won't be until after class." ”
Professor Newt Scamander put away the roster and motioned for the entire classroom to be quiet.
"Originally, I was reluctant to accept this job, although I have had a little experience dealing with dark wizards, but I have always considered my job to be a magical beast!" Professor Scamander, who was on the podium, began his opening remarks:
"But Professor Dumbledore told me that he wants you to get enough Defence Against the Dark Arts training this year...... So, I'll come here!"
Newt Scamander's tone is calm, not even emotional:
"I think you've heard all the rumors about the wizarding world during this time...... I don't want to discuss the rights and wrongs of these rumors, and I don't want to get into a dispute over speech, but it's really pointless. However, planning ahead is always the right option!"
"I think you already know what I mean, and I hope you'll work a little harder on this course!"
Professor Newt Scamander's voice was very sincere, and coupled with his original fame, it seems that he quickly gained the trust of the vast majority of students.
......
"I'm going to tell you about my lesson plan. Professor Scamander continued, "After Christmas and after Easter, I will teach you some of the most common defensive spells, such as the Iron Armor Charm and the Obstacle Charm, which will play a crucial role in your encounters with danger. ”
After a pause, he continued, "And after Easter, my teaching center will appear in the coma charm, petrification charm, and other damaging spells, and preemptively fighting the dark magic is always the best option!"
"And what about before Christmas, Professor Scamander?" asked Hufflepuff's Zacharis-Smith, somewhat curious.
"That's a good question, Mr. Smith!" Professor Scamander smiled and nodded, "It's only a little over half a month before the start of the Christmas break, and I think even if you learn any spells now, you will forget all about it after the unbridled fun of the holiday......"
“...... So, I have a little personal teaching, and that's to talk to you about the role of Magical Beasts in the defense of the Dark Arts. ”
Everyone listened attentively as Professor Scamander had to speak...... Everyone knows that this teacher's research on magical beasts is second to none in Europe.
......
"Fantastic Beasts, I don't think you're a stranger, after all, you've been running a conservation class for a year and a half...... Professor Dumbledore also told me that when you were in your second year, you were learning how to deal with some dangerous magical beasts!"
"But it's important to note that Fantastic Beasts aren't all dangerous, and some Fantastic Beasts can be your friends, companions, and even comrades in battle with you if you treat them in a reasonable way!"
"And sometimes, Fantastic Beasts play a very important role in battle!"
"For example, if you come across a door with magic that can't be opened with a lockpicking charm...... Then the Cauldron can have an unexpected effect, and they will not be fooled by magic. ”
"For example, when you need to fight in the air, riding a Hippogriff or Thunderbird is obviously much stronger than riding a broomstick!"
"Then there are cats, dogs, or sniffers, these sensitive, easily tamed magical creatures that can play a key role in tracking situations......"
"If you can tame one or two fantastic beasts and make them your companions...... Then when you are attacked by a dark wizard, you will have one or two extra helpers...... I guess that's going to work a little bit. ”
This long opening statement is finally over.
Professor Scamander waved his wand, and a cardboard box flew from the cabinet to the side.
"In today's first lesson, I'm going to teach you how to be friends with a sniffer. ”
A small, black head poked out of the cardboard box, looking around and shrinking back to Professor Scamander.
"Why sniff again?" Jon couldn't help but frown, and he quickly stuffed the hand with the ring into his pocket.
