Chapter 356: Snape's First Lesson

Zhang Xu arrived at the Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom a minute before class.

Due to Snape's high requirements, not many students were able to take this course.

It's just that as soon as Zhang Xu entered the classroom and looked around, he had the urge to fight Snape alone.

The classroom, which was originally bright, was stiffly arranged by Snape in the style of a basement. The bright sunlight outside the window was blocked by the heavy black curtains, and the candles were lit in the dim classroom in broad daylight.

This kind of wasting candles is naturally not the reason why Zhang Xu wants to find Snape alone, after all, he doesn't have to be reimbursed for the cost of burning candles.

On the walls of the classroom, drawings that were clearly posted by Snape showed people who had been harmed by the Dark Arts, such as a pool of blood on the ground after being infested by a Yin corpse, a wizard who lost his soul after being sucked by a Dementor, and Zhang Xu, who was sweating profusely and looking hideous after being tortured by the Heart Drilling Curse......

Just when Zhang Xu was thinking about whether to go to Snape alone or let Peeves go for his trouble, class time came.

"I haven't told you to take out the books yet." Snape said to the students as he walked to the podium.

Then Snape took a look at his peers over the years, and then made a clear boast of himself.

Then Snape stepped down from the podium and said in a low, admiring voice, "The Dark Arts are endless, varied, and endless. Fight it, like fighting a hydra, cut off a head and grow two heads......"

Snape then walked over to the portraits, pointed to one and said, "These paintings show different victims, such as this one being kissed by a Dementor. โ€

Then Snape pointed to the next portrait and said, "This is an attack by a corpse." โ€

At this time, Parvati Patil raised his hand and asked, "So, has anyone here seen the corpse?" โ€

Snape, after affirming that the Twin Socket Man had used the Undercast, glanced at Harry Potter and asked, "Does anyone know what to do with the Undercast?" โ€

As soon as Snape's words fell, Hermione, the queen of the Lion Academy, and Zhang Xu, the little expert in the Eagle Academy, raised their hands at the same time.

However, Snape didn't even look at the two of them, but pointed at Ron and said, "Weasley, you answer this question." โ€

As a result, Ron stood up and said, "The Yin Corps is afraid of fire, and you can use fire to destroy the Yin Corps, Professor." โ€

Zhang Xu, who was holding back a smile, saw that Snape's face was a little unnatural, and Snape probably decided in his heart that Ron would not have a preview in this regard, but he didn't expect that Ron would brush the Yin corpse when he was in the fourth grade.

Snape grimaced and sat Ron down, then reluctantly added a point to Gryffindor.

Then, Zhang Xu couldn't laugh, but instead the classmates in the classroom were laughing, because Snape walked to the painting with Zhang Xu suffering a heart curse.

It's just that Snape didn't laugh, but just looked at Zhang Xu with interest and said, "Why don't we let Mr. Zhang talk about the feeling of the Drill Heart Curse." โ€

At this time, all the students in the classroom fell silent and looked at Zhang Xu quietly.

Zhang Xu wordlessly took out an empty medicine bottle from his pocket, then tapped it on his head with his magic wand, pulled out a memory from his mind, and then put it in the bottle.

Zhang Xu put the bottle containing the silver gas on the table, and said to Snape, "I think I can feel it myself, it will deepen the impression, Professor." โ€

Snape walked to Zhang Xu's desk, glanced at Zhang Xu, took the bottle from the table, then took out a meditation basin from the shelf behind the podium, put the meditation basin on the shelf in front of the podium, and poured the memories in the bottle into the basin.

Zhang Xu's memory is different from the memory of people in the past, this is what he learned after consulting Dumbledore before, and the person who enters the meditation basin is no longer watching the live video on the side, but empathizing with the owner of the memory from the first perspective.

Zhang Xu himself didn't expect that this magic full of car exhaust would actually be used in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class.

"Who's coming first?" Snape asked, looking at the students.

Many of the students shuddered, remembering the painful spider that Moody had used to demonstrate the Heart Drill Spell to them in this classroom two years ago.

The first student to be singled out by Snape was Draco Malfoy.

Pony walked to the podium tremblingly and put his face into the meditation basin under the attention of the students.

As a result, Malfoy quickly stood up on his back with a scream, and then sat directly on the ground with weak legs, his originally pale face was even more bloodless at this time, his head was covered with sweat, and the whole person trembled there.

Zhang Xu estimated the time, which was about the appearance of experiencing two or three Drill Heart Mantras.

The next student to be named by Snape was Ron.

Ron was much better than Malfoy, and it took about six or seven Drill Heart Curses before escaping from the meditation basin.

After the two men's experience, Snape stopped asking the other students to continue the experience, saying, "You can see how dangerous and ferocious the dark magic you are about to face. โ€

Then Snape put away the meditation basin and continued, "Well, I think you're new to the Silent Charm. So, what are the benefits of a silent spell? โ€

Zhang Xu snatched the question from Hermione's hand, and he replied, "If you don't pronounce the spell out loud when casting a spell, you can achieve a surprising effect. Even the mantra that can be recited and the spell that is actually used are two different spells. โ€

"The answer is basically correct." Snape said, "Ravenclaw plus five points. โ€

Snape then continued: "Silent spells require a lot of concentration and willpower, and not everyone can do it. โ€

Snape then divided the students into two groups and asked them to try one to attack and one to defend.

Zhang Xu randomly arrived in a group with Padma Patil.

Padma's two spells in a row made sounds, and they were all blocked by Zhang Xu's silent iron armor spell.

Seeing that Padma was a little anxious, Zhang Xu said to her, "Don't be nervous, use your best and most skilled spells." Don't deliberately keep it silent, you can first recite the spell softly, feel the flow of magic carefully, and then use a softer and softer voice to recite the spell when casting the spell, and in the end, you can only recite the spell in your head, and not make a sound in your mouth. โ€

Zhang Xu didn't deliberately hide his voice, and the surrounding classmates began to try according to the method Zhang Xu said after hearing it.

They had already seen that Zhang Xu had already mastered the silent spell, so they thought it would be right to do what Zhang Xu said.

Snape also heard Zhang Xu's words not far away, and after glancing at him, he didn't say anything.

Padma adjusted her mood and waved her wand to shoot her best spell at Zhang Xu.

(ใ€ƒ'โ–ฝ'ใ€ƒ)เฉญโ€”โ˜†ยทยทยท ๐Ÿ’ƒ How cold it is ๐Ÿ’ƒ

When Padma's wand waved, Zhang Xu left himself with an iron armor charm.

The voice of the incantation that Padma recited when she cast the spell this time was very soft, and Zhang Xu, who was standing opposite her, saw her little mouth move, and if she didn't pay attention, she couldn't hear her chanting the incantation.

Padma's spell shot at Zhang Xu's iron armor, and it bounced off with a "bang".

With ten minutes left before the end of the lesson, Padma managed to cast the spell with her mouth moving lightly and without opening it.

It's just that Padma's success is accompanied by many students who are hit by the spell of bouncing off and fall into a state of "I'm playing with mud in the Northeast".

This forced Zhang Xu to use a petrification charm to immobilize the dancing students first, and then unravel the spells on them.

Just as he was about to end the lesson, a loud "bang" caught Zhang Xu's attention, and he turned his head to see that Harry had finally clashed with Snape.

After class, Zhang Xu was stopped in the corridor by two sisters, Parvati and Padma Petyer.

The twin sisters looked at the students who came and went, and seemed to swallow back the words they had typed.

Padma Petyer, who was more familiar with Zhang Xu, whispered, "Are you free tonight, Zhang?" We have something to tell you. โ€

Zhang Xu looked at the pair of sisters who wanted to talk but stopped, and remembered that Padma seemed to have something to say to herself when she was in the common room last night, so he said to them: "Then at eight o'clock tonight, you can come to the professor's dormitory where I used to live, and I will live there recently." โ€

After getting Zhang Xu's answer, the twin sisters left.
