A cold wind blew through the Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom, dispelling the strong smell of perfume Quirrell had sprayed to conceal Voldemort's presence, and sweeping away the lethargic minds of the young wizards.

Dracula looked at the students' energetic state and nodded in satisfaction.

"So, this is your first Defence Against the Dark Arts lesson, right?" He propped his hands on the lectern and leaned forward, earnestly looking at each of the young wizards present.

"Yes, Professor." The little wizards said in unison.

"Then it's a bit irresponsible for me to ask Quirrell to substitute for you." Dracula, who had just untied the knot with Nicol Lemay, was very talkative.

He chuckled and even bowed slightly.

"This class is really difficult for you, and I apologize to everyone."

Seeing the professor who exuded a noble and profound temperament bowing to everyone, the little wizards in the audience suddenly felt flattered, and some resentment in their hearts had already flown out of the clouds.

There was a round of applause from the audience, and all the young wizards looked at Dracula expectantly, looking forward to what he called the real Defense Against the Dark Arts lesson.

Sensing the anticipation of the students, Dracula took out a pure black wand in front of others for the first time.

The wand was thirteen and a half inches long, pitch black, and the second half of the wand was held in the middle of the hand with many magnificent patterns, and a faint deep aura appeared from the hollow.

The end of the wand is inlaid with a transparent crystal, which emits a transparent light, like a dark moon.

Ollivander had already built the wand a few days ago and sent it to Dracula to Hogwarts along with the remaining materials.

Dracula held the wand, perhaps because the wood and the core of the wand were so connected to him, and a feeling of being like an arm and a finger came to him.

He waved his wand, and a heroic line of handwriting appeared on the blackboard behind the podium—

What is Defence Against the Dark Arts

Dracula turned to the side so that the young wizards could see the handwriting clearly, and then asked:

"Can anyone tell me what Defence Against the Dark Arts is?"

Reflexively, Hermione in the first row raised her hand high.

Dracula nodded at her.

"Defence Against the Dark Arts, or D.A.D.A., is a course that teaches students how to protect themselves from the dark arts, including how to deal with dark creatures, dark magic, and duels!" Hermione said confidently.

"It's a good definition!" Dracula nodded approvingly.

In fact, he himself didn't know what the definition was in the textbook, but looking at the expressions of the other little wizards, he felt that this answer should be fine......

"What's your name?" He asked.

"Hermione Granger, Professor." The little witch said proudly.

"Very well, Miss Granger. Gryffindor plus five points. Dracula nodded at her and motioned for her to sit down.

He then continued, "Of course, in my opinion, Defence Against the Dark Arts shouldn't be so narrow, and we need to defend against much more than the Dark Arts and dark creatures. ”

"The knowledge of defense should be applied to every aspect of life, whether you are usually bullied by your high school classmates, or when you meet hooligans outside, you can use defense skills."

"In the wizarding world, learning cultural subjects is about making you talk to scoundrels with peace of mind, and learning defense is about making them talk to you with peace of mind!"

Listening to Dracula's speech, the little wizards were a little confused and a little excited, feeling that the door to a new world had been opened.

"Of course, you're still young and don't have much of a magical foundation. At this point, you have to learn to borrow other powers to defend yourself - such as alchemy armor, external weapons, or the simplest and most effective method, call people! ”

There was a hearty laugh in the Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom.

"Don't laugh, I'm serious." Dracula tapped on the lectern, "For you little wizards, there is no shame in seeking the help of adults, but it is the wisest choice. ”

"For example, when you're going out on an adventure with an adult, the most convenient thing to do is to buy two magic speculums. When you're alone in danger, press the contact clasp on the speculum and the other speculum paired with it will sound an alarm, directing your elders to your location. ”

In addition, the red spark and the green spark can also play a good role in alarm and communication. When you get back, you can prepare for yourself, and the next class will start learning these two spells. ”

"I don't recommend that you use the Spark Charm to signal when you're in danger, though." "Because it's not just a signal that your friends and elders will see, but it's also exposing your position to the enemy's view." ”

"So it's worth mentioning some of the invisibility spells here, such as the Transfiguration Charm......"

Dracula stood on the podium and talked eloquently, giving full play to his thousands of years of life experience, and telling the most basic knowledge of defense techniques vividly and interestingly. The little wizards in the audience were fascinated by the listen, and even the students who didn't like to study felt that it was full of dry goods, so they picked up the quill and began to take notes.

Suddenly, the Hogwarts bell rang melodiously.

This Defence Against the Dark Arts class had already been delayed for more than half of the time, and now that Dracula and the students were in a state of flux, time flew by, and before they knew it, it was time for the class to end.

Hearing the bell for the end of class, Dracula was slightly stunned.

It had been a long, long time since he had experienced the sensation of time flying by.

"Alright, that's all for today. When you go back, remember to preview the green sparks and red sparks in the textbook, and check the preview in the next class. He smiled lightly, put his wand away, and pulled out a cross pendant made of eerie wood from his pocket.

"In addition, since I have taught you so much about using foreign objects to defend yourself, I also have some small gifts for you."

The center of the cross pendant is engraved with an ancient runi symbol symbolizing the moon. Unlike the church cross, its shorter bar slopes slightly upward, like a pair of wings outstretched.

"This is a talisman I made when I was bored, it can resist a lot of dark magic, and it is quite practical." Dracula held up the pendant and showed it to the young wizards in the audience, "From the first to the third grade, the students with the best scores in the final exam of Defense Against the Dark Arts in each grade will receive this amulet. ”

"So, learn your Defence Against the Dark Arts!"
