Chapter 239: Club Teaching
In this abandoned classroom, it was more lively than ever, even if everyone didn't speak, just sat on their own satin cushions, their eyes staring at Ning An, as if they could see him in this way.
Most of Durmstrang's students were naturally curious about Ning'an, the new headmaster succeeded the old-fashioned Karkaroff, and brought new changes to Durmstrang as soon as he took office, and when they were notified that they would spend a full term at Hogwarts during the holidays, they were really looking forward to it.
Who wouldn't want to live a different life, and this expectation makes Ning An even more mysterious, this "Mr. Headmaster" who is the same age as them is said to have extremely high magical talents, otherwise he would not have become the principal of a magic school, and his approach to managing the school seems to be sophisticated, but full of novelty, for his teaching curriculum, can you expect more, Durmstrang's students reverie.
Hogwarts is different, they don't have feelings for Durmstrang's headmaster, Karkaroff was their least favorite in the Triwizard Tournament last semester, and Durmstrang, who is traditionally dueling and dark arts, doesn't have a good reputation in the wizarding world, so they don't pay attention to Ning'an's headmistress.
On the contrary, Ning An's previous experience was more attractive, they knew too well how much this wizard of their age had made a move at Hogwarts, that year the basilisk frantically petrified people, and Ning An and his organization were exposed to the whole school in that year, causing a strong sensation.
Although Ning An was not finally designated as the heir of Slytherin, and now the Daily Prophet and the Ministry of Magic have also avenged Ning An by saying that she had never opened the Chamber of Secrets, this story has been passed down into the mouths of several Hogwarts students who are well-wished, and it has become a wonderful story of ups and downs.
Each student can tell at least six or seven different versions, and Slytherin usually likes to say that Ning An is the chosen heir of Slytherin, who secretly releases basilisks every night to destroy the half-bloods of the other houses, and unites all the Slytherin who hate these half-bloods to form a punishment team, and they sneak into the dormitories of the half-blood wizards of the other houses every night, hang them upside down, and whip them with magic.
This statement is simply not worth mentioning in the eyes of Gryffindors, Ravenclaws and Hufflepuffs, first of all, Ning An himself is half-blood, and as far as they know, he also has a lot of half-blood, if so, he has to defeat himself first, so this story that seems to be in line with Slytherin's taste is actually illogical, and Gryffindor prefers their preferred version of the story.
The four major academies all like to make up their favorite episodes into stories, but what things really look like, I'm afraid only Sos knows, and he doesn't bother to explain this matter to Biren, he doesn't need to, he has already told the whole story in the most public media, as for whether people believe it or not, it can only rely on their judgment, and Ning An didn't say that all this must be true.
With the disappearance of Ning'an, there was also a wave of club frenzy about Ning'an at Hogwarts, whether it was the "Ning'an and the Sword of Gryffindor" club, or Ning'an's secret inquiry group and other forms of organizations, which used to emerge in endlessly, often established by junior freshmen, and after a year or two, most of these clubs have been disbanded, and a small number of those who exist in name only are inactive.
Now, when Nyingan reappears here as Headmaster Durmstrang, it once again attracts students who once had curiosity about him, perhaps not only to learn Defence Against the Dark Arts, but more to hear from Soth about his experiences in Slytherin, or the bad things he has done.
"Defence Against the Dark Arts Club" Ning An turned around and wrote these words on a temporary blackboard behind him, then turned around and looked at the pair of eyes under the podium, smiled lightly and said:
"All of you are welcome to my class-" He shrugged his shoulders, the expression on his face a little funny, Hermione almost laughed, and just as she was desperately holding back a laugh, she found Daphne sitting in the front row? Greengrass was already laughing.
"Hmm...... The club is a very interesting one, with all sorts of factors mixed together, and it wasn't intended to be an open club...... But someone convinced me......" Ning An said this, glancing at Hermione, who looked up with satisfaction, and the smile on her face seemed to be eager to tell everyone that she was the one who persuaded Ning An.
"You probably want to learn two things from me, and learn something different about Defence Against the Dark Arts."
Ning An paced on the simple podium, which was only slightly higher than the ground, walking back and forth, as if walking in a garden, talking leisurely, his state inevitably made people suspect that he was thinking of something, just saying something.
"It's a good idea, we need a place to learn to wrestle, here...... It's a nice driving range...... As you can see, I have prepared a mat for you...... Of course, it's all Transfiguration ......."
Ning An walked back and forth, his eyes swept over each student, and some people looked at Ning An with doubts and suspicions, such as Zacharis? Smith, Dennis? Creevey, and Colin? Creevy and others looked at Ning An with nervous and excited eyes.
There were Hermione, Daphne, Qiu Zhang, Malfoy and others, Ning An took all kinds of eyes into his eyes, didn't say anything, clapped his hands and said, "Then let's start practicing, shall we?" โ
As soon as his voice fell, there was a slight discussion in the class, and many people finally became excited, Umbridge's dull lecture class would only describe boring Defence Against the Dark Arts theory, they had been saying goodbye to their wands in this class for a long time, and Ning An was obviously not the kind of person who talked a lot of nonsense, and he only said these two sentences, and he asked them to practice.
The students were so happy, they got up one by one, stood up one after another, and drew the wand from their arms, so many people pulled out the wand at the same time, it also looked very imposing, Ning An pouted slightly, and felt interesting in his heart.
"I think the first one is going to practice the 'Disarming Charm', everyone knows the spell, it's very basic 'Remove Your Weapon' This is a very useful spell."
"Ahh Smith crossed his arms and looked at Ning An with wide eyes, his eyes were full of doubt, as if he was wondering how Ning An's identity as the principal came about:
"I guess the 'Except for You' weapon is too weak, it shouldn't work against those horrible dark wizards."
Zachares shrugged, looking very distrustful, the room was silent, he seemed to think that his words had shocked others, which seemed to give him strength, his voice was a little louder, louder, looking at Ning An, and then at the classmates who were watching him in the audience, his eyes were burning, and he felt as if he was speaking for others
"And to be honest, I was able to master this in the third grade - now in the fifth grade, we should learn a little bit ......"
"Oh? You think you've got a good grasp of it, don't you? Ning An looked at Zachares with interest, his wand knocked in his hand again and again, Zacharis didn't dare to look at Ning An, the penetrating power of those eyes made him very uncomfortable.
"Although this is a club I run, I don't need you to remind me what I should teach......" Ning An spoke slowly, every word was elongated, he walked around the gap left between the students below, and said slowly, Zacharis now felt that he was being hung there, he could only listen to Soss, but he couldn't interject.
"But I'm still a willing listener, and since you think it's too easy to 'get rid of your weapon', and you've learned it, you might as well let us experiment with it."
Ning An said and stood up to Zacharis? In front of Smith, the sweat on the face of the big man on the other side who was more beaten than Ning An couldn't stop flowing wildly, his throat seemed to be choked by someone, and he couldn't make a sound, so he struggled for a while, grabbed in front of Ning An and said:
"I'm not comparable to you, I admit that no matter what the spell is, I can't compare to you, we're not wizards at the same level, Mr. Headmaster-"
He simply surrendered directly to Ning An, in Smith's opinion, if Ning An personally fought a duel with himself, even if it was enough to just use the disarming spell, he still saw this very clearly, so he directly proposed that Ning An was Durmstrang's principal after all, if he could still duel with himself regardless of his face at this time, then he would win if he gave up directly at that time, and Ning An would lose his adult.
Smith was smart, he wasn't just resistant to learning the 'Disarming Charm' now, he wasn't actually interested in the Defence Against the Dark Arts club in the first place, and he didn't want to learn anything beyond Umbridge's Defence Against the Dark Arts course.
Of course, it's good to study, but Smith and Umbridge happen to have the same idea, those guys who preach the return of the mysterious man should be caught in Azkaban, they are really doing everything to spread rumors, the outside world is obviously peaceful, these people insist on describing the world as chaos for their own selfish desires.
In Smith's opinion, they are all liars and careerists, and this Ning An is no exception, Smith does not believe that a wizard of his age can become the principal of Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, no matter what, it is also one of the three major schools of witchcraft and wizardry in Europe on the same level as Hogwarts.
One of Smith's goals in joining this club was to observe Ning An and see what kind of person he really was.
Ning An tilted his head and looked at Smith with a funny look on his face, "I won't do anything with you, Smith, in fact, if I duel with you, I may not even need a wand." โ
Ning An said casually, without deliberate sarcasm, but these words pierced Smith's heart like a pinprick, and Ning An didn't care at all what he thought, if it wasn't for the fact that he just needed to use some means to stabilize the hearts of this club, he could have told Zacharis directly? Smith: If you don't bother to learn, just leave.
"Daphneโ" Ning An beckoned Daphne out from Durmstrang's side, and everyone was still confused, not understanding why Ning An suddenly called a Durmstrang girl.
Only a small number of students who have been curious about gossip or have explored rumors about Ning An know, Daphne? Greengrass used to be a member of Ning'an's small organization at Hogwarts, Snake Letter, and was expelled from Hogwarts along with Ning'an, but she successfully transferred to Durmstrang to continue her studies, which has continued until now.
"Come here, Mr. Zacharis." Ning An waved his hand, letting the standing crowd disperse, leaving a wide passage, only Zacharis and Daphne stood in the middle, Ning An flicked left and right twice, and those soft cushions seemed to be grabbed by invisible big hands collectively and thrown to the sides.
This time, only the hard, cold marble floor was left in the center.
"Why don't you two come to a duel once, and see how strong you are, if Mr. Smith can beat Miss Greengrass, then I will agree to your request, and I will not teach you the 'Disarming Charm' again, and we will change it, and change it for one that you can accept."
Zacharis looked at Daphne standing in front of him with a sly smile on his face, he didn't even know who the beautiful girl opposite was, Durmstran's student? Why is Ning An so confident in her?
"On the other hand, if Miss Greengrass wins, then please leave this club for a while, and come back after practicing the 'Disarming Charm', maybe we will learn other magic by then."
Ning An said teasingly, Zacharis looked at Ning An in disbelief, just because he lost to this called Daphne? Greengrass's students, are they going to kick themselves out of the club? Is this still the person who was still talking about listening to other people's opinions and being fair to the people a second ago?
However, looking at the expression in Soth's eyes: This is my club, I can change it as I want, Zacharis still wisely did not speak.
He silently looked at Daphne with a smile on her face, and estimated the girl's strength in his heart.
"Of course, in order to test your team's mastery of the 'simple' disarming charm, you can only use the disarming charm on both sides." Ning An stood between the two and finally said.
Then the expression on his face became serious.
"Now, turn your back and raise your wand."
On the orders of Ning'an, Zacharis? Smith and Daphne held their wands to their chests with their backs to back, like knights holding their own swords in a duel.
