260. Criteria for Determining the Qualifications of Defence Against the Dark Arts Professors
After his daily morning exercises, Draco wandered around the castle with his two henchmen, Crabbe and Goyle.
Hermione and Dudley read books in the library, and Neville, Ron, and Harry practiced spells in the Room of Requirement.
Today he doesn't want to go anywhere. I didn't want to study or practice spells, so I had planned to take a rest all day and relax.
Well, for the members of the disciplinary group, just having a class is relaxing.
In a trance, he always felt that something was following him, as if someone was watching him.
But every time I look back, I don't find anything.
This puzzled him.
But he trusted his instincts, and there really was something following him.
So he didn't stop long, and immediately ran to the library to ask Dudley for help.
Miraculously, the moment he stepped into the library, the feeling of being watched disappeared.
"Draco, don't you want to rest today?"
Dudley asked, glancing at Draco.
Draco thought about it and told Dudley what he had just felt, and Dudley told him to pay attention lately, maybe he was being targeted by someone or something, and the next time he felt like this, he would come to him immediately.
Who is Draco targeted?
That's the 'Moody' professor, of course. That guy wanted to set up a 'traitor' Lucius's son, Draco, so it was naturally the best choice.
It can not only breathe but also make the image of his 'Moody' more three-dimensional.
The study time soon ended, and the fourth-year wizards began to arrive in the Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom one after another, already in their fourth year at Hogwarts, where they met the stammering Professor Garlic (Quirrell), the peacock-dressed drama professor (Lockhart), and the transformative Perfect Professor (Lupin).
Today is the fourth professor to teach them Defense Against the Dark Arts.
I put "Dark Forces: A Guide to Self-Defense" on my desk early, and quietly waited for the arrival of the famous 'Crazy Eye'.
Many of the young wizards had already heard from their seniors about Moody
The level of teaching is first-class, there is almost no black magic that he doesn't know, and his achievements in fighting black magic are even higher.
In one sentence, Professor Moody's class was 'cool'.
Immediately after the class, he gained a large wave of worship from the little wizards.
With Moody's characteristic slumping footsteps, the strange, scary old wizard appeared at the door of the classroom.
"Put these things away." The first thing Moody did when he entered the classroom was to point to the textbook on the little wizard's desk, and said in a rough voice, walking to the podium with a seemingly difficult time on crutches and sitting down.
"You don't need textbooks or anything like that."
One sentence made the little wizards under the podium excited.
They had heard similar words from the previous Defence Against the Dark Arts professor, and although Professor Lupin had taught them in the order of the Dark Arts creatures in the textbooks, he had never used a textbook.
And the one who used the textbook was the two professors, Quirrell and Lockhart
Having to use a textbook or not to teach a class has almost become a criterion for them to evaluate whether a Defence Against the Dark Arts professor is qualified or not.
"Before I came, I received a letter from your Professor Lupin about your studies in this class, and you have learned a lot about how to deal with dark magic creatures."
The little wizards whispered in agreement.
Professor Moody nodded, then shifted to the words, "Not enough, it's not enough!" For three whole years, you've only learned how to deal with the dark magic creatures of the Boggart, the Red Hat, the Hinkpunk, the Grindillo, the Kaba, and the Werewolves."
"You're in fourth grade. The only way to know about the defense of the dark arts is this shallow knowledge, when I was your age, I had already learned how to deal with dark wizards! ”
In terms of age, Moody, Hagrid and Tom are almost the same class.
It was Greenwald's time. He said that learning how to deal with dark wizards at that time meant something.
"I wonder what you learned in the last two years?"
The little wizards looked at each other
The professors of the first and second year Defence Against the Dark Arts class, a Quirrell and a Lockhart, also wanted to know what they had learned in the past two years.
If it weren't for the teachings of Professor Lupin and Mr. Dursley in Year 3, their knowledge of Defence Against the Dark Arts might still be at the level of how to deal with the little mischievous curse of 'grinning hulala'.
The young wizards in the audience were talking, and Moody tapped the ground with his cane to silence the voices in the classroom.
"Defence Against the Dark Arts class isn't just about dealing with dark magic creatures, it's about learning how to deal with dark magic spells!"
"I'm going to give you a taste of the spells cast among wizards. I've got a year to teach you how to deal with the dark arts."
"Can anyone tell me what is the best and most effective way to deal with the dark arts?"
Moody asked, looking at the young wizards in the audience.
As soon as Ron heard this question, he immediately raised his hand to answer.
"It's a curse, sir."
"Correct." Moody nodded in satisfaction, "Redhead, you're a Weasley kid, your father Arthur did me a great favor."
Avowed by Moody, Ron said, "When we were in third grade, we had already learned a lot about the Dark Arts Spell. ”
Then I thought of something and turned pale.
Bonus points, what about the good bonus points?
It's rare for me to answer questions in class, and what about the extra points for the disciplinary group?
"I see."
Moody nodded, his expression a little surprised. Lupin's letter doesn't say this, it says that the fifth grade (last year's fourth grade) hasn't learned the anti-spell yet. Why is it that now the fourth grade (last year's third grade) is studying instead? Did Lupin write the grade incorrectly?
"I also learned the Patronus Charm." Ron, who didn't add points, didn't give up and mentioned it again.
Moody's face began to feel a little unnatural
3rd Grade (now 4th Grade) Learning Patronus Charms? Are you sure you're not kidding?
You don't necessarily know how to teach this thing in sixth grade.
There aren't many Aurors on the Auror side who can spell the Patronus Charm
"What about you"
Moody probed in an inquiring tone.
"I've basically learned everything."
The young wizards replied in unison, even if some young wizards were unable to summon a physical Patronus, it would be enough to be able to cast flocculent white silk against a single Dementor.
Moody's mind was a little messy.
That's not right. Is this really 4th grade?
Originally, he wanted to say that the content they learned was not deep enough, but now it is not a problem of not being deep enough
It's that the content of the learning is beyond the outline.
Who teaches 3rd grade Patronus charms?
