Moody apparently ignored Ron's gibberish, glanced at him, and hurried off on his wooden legs.

Ron slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and then felt that his scared appearance just now was very shameless, so he suppressed his voice and explained to Harry and the others.

Ivan stared at Moody's distant back, and suddenly remembered that Moody's self-debunked coaching time in the previous class was exactly one year, which coincided with the curse set by Voldemort.

Is it a coincidence?

Or did Dumbledore want to try to avoid Voldemort's curse on the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor?

After all, the biggest effect of this curse is to make it impossible for each professor to teach for more than a year, and all kinds of accidents are just derivatives of this purpose.

If Moody had gone a year later, maybe the curse wouldn't have been so directed at him...

If that were the case, maybe Moody would be able to leave the position as safely as Lupin.

......

For the next few weeks, nothing happened in the castle, and Harry had forgotten all about the dream scene, because he was overwhelmed by the sheer amount of heavy lessons.

Especially Moody's Defence Against the Dark Arts lesson!

The legendary old Auror divided each lesson into two parts, first explaining some protection techniques for dark magic or commonly used offensive magic, followed by an intense and exciting practical practice.

The students who ordered it were asked by Moody to follow the methods given in the class to break the spell he had personally cast, and if someone behaved badly, he showed no mercy and scolded him for his face.

Even so, Moody's courses are popular.

After all, there are so few hands-on classes that can be used in actual combat, not to mention that they often learn a lot of useful protection techniques from Defence Against the Dark Arts classes.

It's just a headache for the little wizards that Moody's will leave a lot of homework before class, usually asking them to give a way to defend themselves in a specific situation.

I can't just scribble, because Moody's will immediately draw people in class and practice on the spot to test the feasibility of this method.

For example, in an after-school assignment on how to defend against the Tarantella Charm, Seamus had the whim that he could roll and dodge, and then break his opponent's nose with a quick dash in front of him.

However, during the actual combat drill, Seamus was hit by Moody's spell before he could roll, and finally did most of the tap dance for most of the class, and his leg was almost broken.

So much so that when you take Defence Against the Dark Arts class, everyone is always in a cycle of fear of being named and expecting to see others have fun.

"So how do we deal with the disarming spell and cast the obstacles? But I already wrote about this last time. Or look for cover? Hiding under a table? Oh my God, what if Professor Moody clicks on me this time? ”

In the morning, in the Gryffindor break room, Ron watched the homework break down and screamed, especially since Moody hadn't allowed them to write similar defenses too often.

"Ivan, can you show us how you wrote it?" Harry also had a headache, and turned his head to refer to Ivan's answer.

"Are you sure you want to copy my homework?" Ivan said with a strange face, and directly pushed the homework book over.

Harry and Ron immediately came up to look at it, and their faces suddenly became very embarrassed, and it was written casually: "We should cast the disarming charm at a faster speed to achieve the purpose of countering the opponent." 】

"Is that okay?" Harry looked at Ivan speechlessly.

"When does my method not work?" Ivan shrugged his shoulders and covered up his homework book, ready to hand it in tomorrow.

Harry and Ron looked at each other, and finally sighed in distress, which is also the reason why they break down every time, the methods of resistance written by Ivan, they can't do it at all, and they can't copy it if they want to.

At first, Ivan wanted to save trouble, and there was even only an iron armor spell in the list of coping methods, and he wrote this every time.

It wasn't until Moody couldn't bear to order them not to write the same thing every time that Ivan gave up this magic spell of defense, and because he didn't want to bother with it, he gave more and more nonsense.

For example, if you encounter an attack by a dark wizard, you should subdue it as soon as possible and send it to Azkaban.

If you kill the opponent in advance, you can effectively remove the threat brought by the opponent and so on...

Not to mention that they think it is nonsense, even Moody's thinks so, but after personally verifying it in class, Moody has to admit that Ivan's methods are very effective...

So much so that in the recent Defence Against the Dark Arts class, Moody simply used Ivan as an assistant to use offensive magic to test others.

Unable to get help from Ivan, Harry and Ron had to turn to Hermione for help, but the little witch didn't give them face at all, swiped it and closed the homework book, glared at them.

"You should figure out the solution for yourself, Professor Moody said in class that we can't expect others to protect us!"

The two of them were completely out of line, so they had to lower their heads and meditate.

Looking at the distressed Harry and Ron, Ivan secretly shook his head, with such a good teacher as Moody, neither of them could study hard, it was really hopeless!

Judging from the growth of the cadets, Moody was definitely the most competent Defence Against the Dark Arts professor he had ever met, even surpassing Lupin!

After all, Moody's is more strict and resolute, almost forcing the students to grow up quickly.

If you learn this all year long, not to mention how good a fighter you will become, at least you won't be at a loss when you encounter unexpected situations, and you will be able to have a certain ability to protect yourself.

Of course, Moody's radicalism probably had something to do with Dumbledore's covert instructions.

The only thing that surprised Ivan was that Moody hadn't called everyone up to test whether they could resist the Imperius Curse in the past few days.

But yes, it was Barty Crouch Jr.'s quiz for Harry to find out how different Harry really was and how he could defeat the Unforgivable Curse.

It took Ron and Harry more than half an hour to finish Moody's homework, and then they went to the Great Hall to prepare lunch.

When a few people reached the foyer, they were surprised to find a large group of students blocking the doorway, huddled around a large notice erected at the foot of the marble staircase.

"What's going on?" Ron asked curiously.

Ivan squeezed in and took a few looks, and there was a notice posted on the wall about the Triwizard Tournament, which mentioned that representatives of Beauxbatons and Durmstrang would arrive at 6 p.m. on Friday, October 30.
