Chapter 114: Classroom

"Beauxbatons, Durmstrang and the delegation from the USSR State School of Witchcraft and Wizardry will arrive at Hogwarts in October and spend most of the school year with us. I am sure that your foreign guests will be warm and friendly throughout their stay here, and that you will all support the Hogwarts Warrior when he or she is finally chosen. ”

Dumbledore looked around, then continued.

"Okay, it's late today, you can go back to rest, hurry up and go to bed, adjust your condition, the holiday is over, you have to walk into the classroom tomorrow morning in good spirits and clear minds." Now, you can leave. ”

With that, Dumbledore sat down, and he turned his head to begin talking to Professor Moody.

In the cafeteria, students stood up one after another, and they flocked to the aisle and out of the auditorium. As the foyer was thrown open by the crowd. A cacophony of voices rang out in the crowd.

"Hey, Lin!" Robert leaned in, he was one of the ravens' first members.

"We Ravenclaw need this honor, and there are so many golden Galleons! We can support more experiments. ”

Li Lin shook his head and turned back to Robert.

"Robert, you are my dear friend. So as a friend, I'm going to tell you that what Ravenclaw needs right now is not honor, but to understand something. ”

Robert blinked strangely. "Lin, what do you mean?"

"MONOCULUS." Li Lin replied. "The magic eye in Professor Moody's eyes. Maybe Life in Ravenclaw lets you know what it is, and if not, you can hurry to the library. I think we need to add a few more things to the school uniforms for the sake of Hogwarts students' lives. ”

Li Lin said as he pointed out to him the magic inscription attached to his wizard's robe.

The storm died down for the next few days, but the ceiling of the auditorium was still cloudy and misty, with large clouds of blue-gray rolling. The same is true of the atmosphere in the school. When Ravenclaw unearthed conclusive evidence in the library that the MONOCULUS could see through it, in an instant, the message quickly spread throughout Hogwarts. The speed is unexpected. As a result, the Ravenclaw students were the center of attention for a while, making them quite uncomfortable. Most of them are girls, and they want to attach magic words to their school uniforms to block the vision of the magic eye.

This has led to Professor Moody's poor demeanor, especially among female students.

A few girls even said. "Something like the Magic Eye shouldn't exist!"

Ravenclaw discovered the origin of the magic eye, and the specific creator did not know that the first generation of the famous Dark Lord in history, Grindelwald, had such an eye, and what Moody carried was probably left by Grindelwald.

Professor Moody is even better known for turning Malfoy into a stoat. Because of this incident, Gryffindor's evaluation of him tended to be positive, and for a while, Professor Moody became a popular figure at Hogwarts.

Soon, the first Defence Against the Dark Arts lesson arrived. Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff students are waiting in the classroom with the textbook "Dark Forces: A Guide to Self-Defense".

But Professor Moody doesn't follow common sense, he said as soon as he walked through the door.

"Put these things away," Professor Moody said aloud, struggling to the podium with his claw-like wooden feet on crutches, and then sat down, "these textbooks." You don't need it. ”

Then he pulled out the roster, and Professor Moody's normal eyes were staring at the roster roll call, and the other eye was moving from side to side looking at the students in the classroom.

Of course, the students in the classroom all had magic words on their uniforms that blocked their vision, so the magic eye stopped turning and stared at the answering student's face instead.

"Alright," Professor Moody said. "Professor Lupin has written to me, and I have a general idea of your course progress. I'm happy with his teachings, but I don't think you've learned enough about how to deal with spells. ”

"Therefore, I am going to give you a taste of the spells cast by wizards. I've got a year to teach you how to deal with the dark arts. ”

The applause rang out, after all, the level of the Defence Against the Dark Arts class was erratic. A knowledge-based college like Ravenclaw hardly expects to learn much from its professors. Most of them are self-taught. Now hearing Professor Moody's teaching plan, the Ravenclaws are a little excited. This is something that is difficult to learn on your own.

Professor Moody gestured with his hand for the applause to stop, then continued.

"Alright, let's get down to business. Magic spells, they come in many forms, and their magic power varies. Actually, according to the Ministry of Magic, I should teach you all kinds of spells to crack by now, and that's all. Because by the rules, you're not in the sixth grade, and I'm not supposed to tell you what illegal dark magic spells look like, you're still too young to deal with this thing. But Professor Dumbledore praised your courage, and he thought you could deal with it, and it seems to me that the sooner you understand what you are going to fight, the better. After all, if a spell you've never seen before, how can you protect yourself from it? If a dark wizard were to recite you an illegal spell, would he tell you what he was going to do? He won't politely recite a spell to you, and will remind you to defend yourself with some kind of counter-spell. So, you have to be prepared and be vigilant. ”

Then Moody paused. "Mr. Robert? You don't seem to have much interest in my lectures? ”

Robert was startled, he himself was sitting precariously, in fact one hand under the desk holding a wand, the two days of studying magic texts had made him interested. So much so that they are all distracted in class, trying to attach a magic text or two to the table in front of them to see what effect it can have?

Apparently, Moody's enchanted eye could penetrate not only the back of his own head, but also the hard wood.

Robert hurriedly picked up his wand, but the girls in the classroom suddenly tightened their clothes.

This time, Professor Moody acted as if he hadn't seen it.

"Let's move on, then, do any of you know which spells will be punished the most severely by wizarding law?"

Robert stood up. "Professor, the three unforgivable spells are the Dementor Curse, the Heart Drilling Curse, and the Avada Death Curse."

Moody nodded in satisfaction. Then it was explained.

"The Dementor Charm, a very evil black magic that can be used on people to disorient them, do exactly what the caster intended, with my magic, I can make you hold yourself by the throat, I can make you stand on the windowsill and jump down, you can drowning your head in a pool of water."

Obviously, Professor Moody was intimidating, but it worked. There was silence, and there was no more movement in the classroom.

"Of course, you don't need to worry, my course has something to do with this, the Dementor Charm can be resisted, it can be defended. But not everyone can do it! What you should do more is not to be struck by this spell! ”

Professor Moody raised his voice, startling everyone.

Then, he continued.

"Next one is the Diamond Curse."
