Chapter Ninety-Eight: When There Was No War, I Experienced the First War
[Professor Snape and the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor fight]
By the end of the evening, the rumor spread throughout Hogwarts, successfully squeezing Neville's heat down.
Snape was a walking newsmaker...... Two pieces of news in one day, all related to him.
I don't know how often I show my face, and I think that Dumbledore wants to support him to become the deputy headmaster, and he is giving him a sense of existence.
It's a pity that all this heat is negative news.
Anyway, there are rumors that Professor Snape has a nose and eyes, and that Professor Snape was beaten by Moody.
The angry roar coming from the underground classroom at the end of class is enough to prove this.
At that time, the students were all gone, and Moody was the only one left at the door of the underground classroom.
Besides, Professor Moody wandering in front of the Potions classroom, isn't that typical for Snape?
The two must have been at odds for a long time.
The chain of reasoning is tightly knit, reasonable, and has no logical loopholes.
Besides, I'm a rumor, the logic of you talking to me...... Hogwarts is not the place to talk to you about logic.
Snape didn't deny it this time, and he didn't even say anything about losing the herbs.
It's not like his style of doing things at all.
He usually finds the killer and then makes trouble in the auditorium.
William soon learned why.
In the herbal medicine class, Professor Sprout had an ugly face.
She first emphasized to everyone. The importance of LS. Then he began to denounce her, and some people stole her herbs.
That night, the water of the Black Lake was flooded with a lot of cuties. But after the emergency repair, many herbs were still alive, and they were regarded as dead and taken away!
All right...... No wonder Professor Snape didn't dare to speak out.
He had pulled it out, and if it had been shaken out, Professor Sprout would not have been killed.
He can only suffer a loss, and then slowly find a way back.
Since the greenhouse was flooded, the task was to replant the new plants.
An hour and a half later, the Ravenclaw classmates were exhausted and smelled of dragon dung as they lined up to return to the castle.
On the way, they ran into Moody's again.
Only then did the eaglets realize one thing:
It turns out that Professor Moody is not just targeting Professor Snape.
Almost every teacher would stand in the doorway in class, as if scouting something.
There are also more and more rumors about Moody, especially about his fight with the Dark Wizard.
Therefore, everyone suspects that there is a Death Eater hiding in the school, and Moody's purpose is to catch him.
Moody's Defence Against the Dark Arts class was also expected by all students.
In the words of the twins, no Defence Against the Dark Arts professor knows the Dark Arts better than him.
On Wednesday, Ravenclaw and Slytherin House finally ushered in the first class of Defense Against the Dark Arts.
The students took out the "Dark Forces: Guide to Self-Defense" and waited, and the atmosphere was exceptionally quiet.
Soon, Moody's characteristic grunt footsteps came down the hallway.
He walked into the classroom, looking as odd as usual. They could just see his claw-like wooden feet, peeking out from under his robes.
"Put all these things away," Moody said gruffly, struggling to the podium with his cane on his crutches and sitting down.
"We don't need textbooks, they're all low-level gadgets."
Moody pulled out the roster, shook his head, and shook his long, gray hair away from his twisted, scarred face, and began to roll out names.
His normal eyes moved down the list, while the magic eye kept spinning around, staring at each student who answered.
When William was clicked, he paused for several seconds before continuing to read.
"Alright." When the last student was done, Moody's said:
"I received a letter from Professor Lupin about the course.
He said that your foundation is still good compared to the next few batches of students.
This is thanks to the fact that you have met two teachers who are quite capable.
Although one of them has been happily imprisoned in Azkaban. ”
Everyone looked at William, who had given Professor Tywin a one-way ticket to Azkaban.
But who would have thought that Professor Tywin would be the only reliable professor they had ever met in the past few years.
It's really a trick.
"You've got a pretty good grasp of how to deal with dark magic animals.
Know how to deal with Boggart, Red Hat, Hinkpunk, Grindy Lowe, Kaba......"
Many of the students nodded triumphantly.
Moody's words changed suddenly, "But what I want to say is that most of what you learn is useless!" ”
The little wizards all looked up, looking at Moody suspiciously.
"Don't interrupt me, don't be too busy denying me......," Moody growled.
"You think you have a lot of ...... But the future is not for those low-level dark creatures.
It could be hordes of werewolves, swarms of giants, lots of vampires, dragon witch riders...... Even the Death Eaters! ”
Moody's wand poked, and patterns of these magical creatures appeared on the blackboard.
"Know a magic or two about dealing with the Boggart, or become a Red Hat expert...... Did it work?
Useless! ”
"But why are we dealing with this?" Marietta muttered quietly. "We're safe......"
"Safe?"
Moody's enchanted eyes turned, and he laughed, his scarred face distorted and weird.
He waved his wand, and a drawing appeared on the blackboard. Everyone took a breath of cold air.
"Can anyone tell me what this is?" Moody looked around and looked at Marietta. "Miss Ekmore, you answer."
Marietta whispered, "Dark Mark ......"
"That's right." Moody sneered, "It was just during the summer vacation, just ten days ago, that the Dark Mark appeared in the Quidditch World Cup......
As a former Auror, I have a lot of sources...... Know the inside story in more detail. ”
Everyone pricked up their ears to hear the "inside story".
"Of course, I don't have as much insider information as Mr. Stark.
He killed the lake monsters and saved the kidnapped wizards...... is a witness to the whole event. ”
Moody's eyes were fixed on William, and the class turned their heads to look at him with burning eyes.
"If it weren't for Stark, how many people do you think the lake monsters would have killed, and would the Death Eaters in Azkaban be released?"
The students all nodded.
Moody scoffed, and he said in a loud voice:
"Children, put away your arrogance and those unrealistic fantasies.
The world is far from safe.
As far as I know, there have been many accidents in this school alone in the past few years...... You are far from death, but you are also very close. ”
Everyone was silent.
Moody nodded in satisfaction, then patted his big rough hand and suddenly asked:
"Okay, then...... Do any of you know which spells are subject to the harshest punishment of wizarding law? ”
Many students raised their hands.
Moody gestured to Judy Crouch.
"Imperius Curse." She said.
"Ah, yes," Moody said appreciatively.
"Your uncle, Crouch, should have mentioned.
Although it is the least harmful spell of the Unforgivable Curse. However, it is the most troublesome curse.
Back then, the Imperius Curse caused a lot of trouble for the Ministry of Magic. Many Death Eaters also relied on this excuse to get out of prison! ”
Moody sneered, his face twisted violently, and he seemed disgusted by the outcome.
With great difficulty, he stood up on his prosthetic legs, opened the drawer of the podium, and pulled out a glass bottle.
There's a big black spider inside, crawling in it.
Moody reached into the bottle, grabbed a spider, and placed it on the open palm for everyone to see.
Then he pointed his wand at it and muttered, "Out of body!" ”
The spider jumped off Moody's palm, dangling a filament, and began to swing back and forth, as if sitting on a high swing.
It stiffened its legs, then turned around and flipped over, the filaments pulled off.
It slammed on the table and began to turn its head in circles.
Moody flicked his wand, and it stood up on its two hind legs and did a kind of tap dance.
Many of the students laughed, but Moody's kept a straight face.
"You guys think it's fun, don't you?" He asked in a thick voice.
"If I do this to you and control you to dance, will you like it?"
The laughter died down almost immediately, and everyone lowered their heads.
"I'm completely in control," Moody whispered, "and I can make it jump out of the window, or drown itself, or jump into the throat of one of your classmates."
Of course, I can also take spiders ...... if I want to. It's you, it's you, it's you, it's going to do things that you never do. ”
How many of you here can resist? ”
Moody grabbed the somersault spider and threw it back into the bottle.
He wandered slowly around the classroom.
"You are not mentally prepared and you are not capable. Once subjected to these forbidden magics, there is simply no room for resistance.
This year, I will lead you to see a lot of cruel black magic, and I will also teach you how to resist. ”
He paused, then continued, "I was invited to Hogwarts for one purpose:
That is to let you experience the first war when there is no war.
Prepare yourself for your magic skills and ...... Grow up thoroughly! ”
Everyone straightened up and looked at Professor Moody in awe, struck by his words.
Everyone felt that they had been sublimated, and many students even had the idea of becoming an Auror after graduation.
No...... They were not in a Hogwarts classroom now, but in the Auror training class of the Ministry of Magic.
Qiu suddenly lowered his voice and asked, "William,. LS Exam ...... Defense against the Dark Arts, shall we test the Unforgivable Spell, or all kinds of Dark Magic? ”
"Defence Against the Dark Arts class is not examined, but ......" William shook his head and said softly, "Azkabanka." ”
