279. Blake's Teaching Experience

Scott finds Helena in the college library, says hello to her, and chats a few words.

I haven't seen him for a while, and Helena's change is a little more thorough.

She is no longer a cold appearance that is not close to people, and even if she treats other people, her attitude is much kinder.

Since it was already Thursday, Scott and she agreed to go with her on Saturday to see the portrait of Ravenclaw.

The Room of Requirement has a special structure, and Helena, as a ghost, has no way to enter alone.

Of course, she could have asked other students for help, but Helena was probably not so happy to share her former study.

After saying goodbye to Helena, Scott left the Ravenclaw Tower and made his way to the Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom.

Pushing open the door, he found Blake standing alone on the edge of the podium.

"Professor Black." Scott said hello.

"Hello, you're Scott? Trolope! ”

Blake immediately laughed when he saw Scott, and took the initiative to walk up to Scott and stretch out his hand.

"At yesterday's dinner, I asked Professor McGonagall which of you it was."

Scott shook his hand.

"I've always wanted to thank you personally, but you found out something was wrong with that mouse, didn't you?"

When he talks about Pettigrew, he can't help but have a look of extreme disgust on his face.

"What a pity! Everyone looked at me, and they all stopped me from killing that mouse! His emotions were a little out of control for a moment.

Scott looked at him with deliberate bewilderment, and Blake quickly came to his senses.

"Oh, I'm sorry." He took a few deep breaths, "I'm so excited. ”

"It doesn't matter, after all, that person did something unforgivable, didn't he?" Scott said in an understanding tone, "I was there when Professor Snape poured him the elixir. ”

Blake's face changed again when he heard Snape's name, but he quickly laughed again, "I know. ”

He patted Scott on the shoulder.

He said, "Anyway, thank you, you're such an amazing student." Harry is also grateful to you, he says you are a genius. ”

Scott smiled too, "No thanks, it's a bit of a coincidence, I just have some talent in magic perception and transfiguration." ”

"Better than when I was younger." "You make me think of James, oh, Jaime is Harry's father, and he's good at Transfiguration as well. ”

He couldn't help but look nostalgic.

Seeing this, Scott immediately took the initiative to change the subject and talked to him about Defence Against the Dark Arts class.

When it comes to the course, Blake is confident and eager to give it a try.

At this time, the students began to walk into the classroom one after another, and Scott also ended his conversation with Blake and turned to walk to the student seats.

At the same time, he also thought that 12 years in prison, surviving under the threat of Dementors all the time, still had a profound impact on Blake.

Although he seemed normal, Scott could tell after talking to him for a while that his emotions were still a little unstable and more volatile than the average person.

Such people are probably more likely to lose control of their emotions than the average person.

But then again, such a Defence Against the Dark Arts professor is much better than a Falling Earth Demon's possessed object and a liar who can only forget the curse.

With the peculiarities of this position, it is impossible to ask for too much.

When class time came, the students stared at Blake curiously, wondering if the new Defence Against the Dark Arts professor would really be better than the previous ones.

Ravenclaw students, in particular, have grown to expect much from the professors of this course.

"Everyone, how are you?" Blake greeted the students with a smile, "I'm Sirius?" Blake, your Defence Against the Dark Arts professor. I think everyone knows me, don't they? ”

He behaved enthusiastically, even with a feeling of overexertion.

"I've learned about the quality of teaching in previous years, and to be honest, for some well-known reasons, you don't seem to be learning very well?"

He paused, looking at the students' reactions again.

Seeing that everyone was listening to him carefully, he relaxed a little.

"As far as I know, since the end of last year, the Department of Education of the Ministry of Magic has reformed the teaching of Defence Against the Dark Arts by the Wizarding Examination Authority, adding a practical part."

He shrugged his shoulders.

"Personally, I think this is probably the wisest decision the Ministry of Magic has ever made."

A lot of the students laughed.

Blake also laughed, and immediately said solemnly after laughing, "It's a pity, especially you, this year's fifth-grade students, you are going to face your problems at the end of the school year, so our task is a bit heavy. ”

Defence Against the Dark Arts class went on without a hitch, and Blake's teaching career seemed to be off to a good start.

After the reform, the course was changed to two sessions at a time.

One of them is theoretical, and the other is practical.

Scott thinks Blake's theory is also quite good.

Although he is often easily agitated and his mind is occasionally a little confused, at least he has a lot of practical experience in dealing with the dark arts, which is much better than teaching from a textbook.

During the break, he also asked the students for their feedback on his teaching.

He was very happy that the students present gave him a good evaluation.

"Professor Black should be thankful that his first class was attended by us, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff."

Roger said to Scott.

"If the students in the first class were Gryffindor and Slytherin, he certainly wouldn't have had it so easy."

"Maybe Snape will come and sit in?" Scott laughs and says, "For the sake of the Slytherin students, make sure that the professor has a reassuring level of teaching." ”

Roger raised an eyebrow, "Oh...... Snape's words, if he wants to do it, he can do it. ”

After the break, the practical class begins.

Blake waved his wand, and a door appeared behind the podium.

"Come with me." He pushed open the door and walked in, "This will be your supporting practical classroom!" ”

Scott and the others walked in curiously, and found that the interior of this suddenly appeared classroom was surprisingly large.

"How's that, it's great here, isn't it?" Black laughed and said, "This is the classroom that Dumbledore helped remodel, using the Traceless Stretching Charm!" ”

Roger looked left and right, "I think we can apply to Professor Black to move the Dueling Club here." ”

Milton nodded in agreement, "Professor Black is very experienced in actual combat, after all, he has fought many Death Eaters, maybe he will be willing to become the instructor of the Duel Club." ”

Scott thought they had a good idea, "Professor Flitwick doesn't have a lot of time, Professor Black is a good choice, and with Harry in the dueling club, I think he'll agree." ”
