Chapter 51: Dark Arts Duel Lesson
Chen Ang and Dumbledore exchanged their views on the way magic stabilized, and the two were probably the most knowledgeable people in the entire wizarding world, and there were very few who could compare to them - Voldemort might be one, Nicolame would be one if he hadn't died, and Gellert Grindelwald, who is now in Newmontard Prison, could be counted as one.
The rest, even the Hogwarts professors, were unable to join their conversation.
At first, Snape, who was sitting next to Aang, could still listen with a gloomy face, but when Aang and Dumbledore talked about the role of magic and sound spells in the stability of the wizard's bloodline and the origin of ancient magic in the development of modern spells, his face became as ugly as a dead man. Professor McGonagall was serious throughout, but the incredulous look she looked at Chen Ang betrayed herβshe was equally impressed by the erudition of the unknown Oriental professor, even a little unacceptable.
In fact, this was also the process of Chen Ang and Dumbledore testing each other, until the students of the four houses and Durmstrang came to the hall and sat down at the table, Dumbledore stopped and said with a smile: "Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, ghosts, and Durmstrang guests!" β
"Year 2 and Year 3 students have stopped their classes for the time being, and we are going to start an exchange with the guests of Durmstrang, and in the next month, Professor Aung Chen will start a new course for you...... In the style of Durmstrang - dueling lessons. Now let's welcome Professor Aung Chen! β
Harry looked at Aang in surprise, and Ron, who was sitting next to him, was stunned by the news.
He exclaimed, "That's amazing! β
The whole of Hogwarts boiled over, and Harry heard the Gryffindor seniors exclaiming, "How is this possible?" "Is the headmaster crazy?" "How could Dumbledore agree to such a ridiculous thing?"
Only Malfoy smirked, and the Slytherin seat even cheered.
Puzzled, Harry asked Ron, "What happened?" Why did everyone react this way? Ron still couldn't hide his surprise on his face, but with a hint of nervousness and excitement, he replied, "Durmstrang is all about black magic!" Duel class, in fact, is the Dark Arts Duel class...... This means that we will learn real, lethal black magic! β
Harry didn't react yet, but Hermione next to him was about to jump up, and she shouted, "How can Headmaster Dumbledore allow such a ridiculous thing, it's illegal to teach dark arts, it's ......"
Ron hesitated, "It's illegal to teach the Unforgivable Curse...... But most black magic has no limits. Otherwise, Durmstrang wouldn't have been able to drive legally for that long! In fact, it is illegal to teach the Unforgivable Spell, but it is legal for students to teach themselves and read magic books. β
Hermione yelled at him, "I'll report it to the Ministry of Magic...... If they had a shred of sanity, they would have stopped Headmaster Dumbledore's madness. β
Cheers and applause came from Slytherin, and Durmstrang exchange students jumped up and cheered, but to the embarrassment of the other three houses buzzing like a swarm of bees, Aang stood up and signaled, not embarrassed by such a scene, but announced: "With me, everyone can learn the means of carrying out their will and the knowledge of being closer to the truth." β
"Many people think that I will teach you some dark and terrible things, but in fact I think it is more important to teach you how to find light in the darkness, how to harness your ambitions and desires, in fact black magic is not terrible, uncontrolled black magic is terrible...... I know that many of you want to be an Auror and want to be a clerk at the Ministry of Magic. β
"Then you have to take advantage of this opportunity, this is the only chance you can get a dark arts education five years early!"
"It's only been a month, but the Hogwarts students will be in class with the Durmstrang students, and you will get a real exercise with me, and learn the greatest and most basic ability to be a wizard - just like using magic to implement your own will, and learn how wizards can solve conflicts when they are irreconcilable."
"It's a choice between life and death."
At this time, Gilderoy Lockhart couldn't wait to jump out, and he said loudly: "When Professor Dumbledore asked me, your Defence Against the Dark Arts professor's opinion, I said that I fully agree with Durmstrand's proposal, you have studied with one of the top Defence Against the Dark Arts masters, as long as you can learn a little bit of my skills, the dark arts will be vulnerable under your hands." β
"It's like I've fought evil creatures and dark wizards countless times...... You can see the details in my book. β
"I will demonstrate to you the etiquette and rules of dueling with Professor Chen Ang, and he told me that it will be helpful for you to learn and re-understand the defense against the dark arts, so I will show you how to defend against the cutting-edge dark arts...... I don't want to worry Durmstran's guests, so when my spell hits your professorβdon't scream! β
Ron whispered to Harry, "I don't think Durmstrand's Dark Arts professor is inferior to a Cornwall elf." β
"May our professor 'watch' him - he won't scream like a little girl!" Not far away, a Durmstrang exchange student whispered to the side, "May Azathoth take care of him!" Other than that, I can't think of how he can defend against the 'dark magic' of our professor! β
Harry also heard Durmstrand's exchange student ask, "Is the professor going to kill him?" β
"That was the best ending he could imagine!" Someone replied with a sneer.
Hermione heard it too, and she turned to Harry and said, "How can they say that about Professor Lockhart, it's so rude!" Harry thought to himself that Durmstran's exchange students weren't over-talking, but he couldn't say anything in front of Hermione.
By this time, the senior students had finished eating and were ready to go to class. Harry and the others were asked to stay in the Great Hall, and he saw Aung swing his wand, and the long dining table in the center of the Great Hall disappeared, replaced by a glittering golden stage against the wall, and the magic dome above him was clear and sunny.
Professor McGonagall's eyes widened as she saw someone come to Hogwarts for the first time, as if they were at home.
