Chapter 365: Tough Style
In recent years, rumors of a curse on the professor of Defence Against the Dark Arts have been in the market for the mysteries of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and although Dumbledore has always kept quiet in front of people, it is believed that there is something to be said about it.
There is a very amazing thing that no matter who the professor of this course is and how he finally quits, they can always hold on to this position until the end of the academic year, of course, there is an element of human interference in the final outcome of Remus Lupin, which cannot be used as a criterion.
Outsiders talk about it, and they think that there is a time limit for the curse of the professor of this course, and it will explode in a year, but Amosta, who has experienced this curse firsthand, has his own opinion.
Amosta thinks that this curse is more like a chronic toxin, when you are actually hired, this toxin will be present in your body, it will not explode immediately, but it will quietly change your fortune like a magic elixir, the toxin will slowly accumulate, and all those things that are not good for you will happen quietly in the places you can't see, until a certain point will be detonated.
Judging from this curse, it can be seen that Voldemort himself is indeed worthy of the name of a master of dark magic, at least in the few years that Amosta has been mixed in the European wizarding world, he has never seen a curse with an effect close to the law of cause and effect.
Then again, unless you have the means of Amosta, it's very difficult to avoid the misfortune caused by the curse, but it's not impossible to control the harm caused by the curse to some extent - taking care to control the amount of time you spend in the professor's seat in this class is one thing.
Someone like Sirius who only planned to do Dumbledore for two or three months could not escape cause and effect, but at least he could keep the damage within acceptable limits.
So, that's why Amosta wasn't explicitly opposed to Sirius accepting Dumbledore's offer.
If Dumbledore had the ability to find three or four 'big wrongs' a year, then this course wouldn't be so bad.
In short, with Professor Bryan's explanation and Sirius's assurance, Harry finally stopped worrying that his godfather would suddenly die one day.
In the next two days, there were only two hot topics in Hogwarts, the first was what the real teaching level of Sirius who took over the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, and the third year of Gryffindor did not have this class for the past two days, so Harry had to ask around about Sirius's performance in class, for fear of hearing anything unfavorable to Sirius, but according to Fred and George, Sirius's teaching level was quite interesting, at least, not inferior to Professor Lupin.
Another topic is that there seems to have been a conflict within Slytherin, which took place in the Slytherin common room after dinner on Monday, and was said to be so intense that it even stopped with the intervention of the head of Slytherin House himself.
However, because the Slytherin gang was very tight-lipped about their own traditions, the other three houses did not hear any more about it.
It was only after that confrontation that Malfoy and his two younger henchmen became arrogant again on campus, and Theodore Knott and Bress Sabini, who were in the same grade as him, appeared on campus with gloomy faces and bruises on their faces telling everyone that they were the losers of the conflict.
Wednesday
Today's weather was as bright as Harry's mood at this time, and when the golden sunlight poured into the dormitory through the carved window grille, Harry jumped up from his four-poster bed, put on his school uniform three or two times, and walked to Ron's bedside a few steps, and slapped the edge of Ron's bed hard.
"Come on, Ron, we can't miss today's lesson!"
"Hmm-"
Ron sat up in a daze, yawning and rubbing his sleepy eyes, and blinked in confusion as he rushed into the bathroom like the wind to clean up Harry's eyes, but then he realized why Harry was so excited.
Neville, Seamus, and Dean climbed out of bed one by one.
"What's going on?"
Seamon asked in amazement,
"I've never seen Harry so excited about the lessons?"
"Sirius's lesson," Ron shrugged, "he's looking forward to--"
There was more than one who was expecting Blake to teach a class, at least, at least during breakfast in the auditorium, Hermione heard her two roommates, Lavender and Parvati, pointing at Professor Black at the faculty table, snickering from time to time.
It is undeniable that Sirius is a wave of good-looking people among the professors, he has handsome features, perhaps because of the persecution of the place, when he is not speaking, there is always a faint melancholy between his eyebrows and eyes, and this melancholy temperament is very fatal to this group of underage witches who yearn for love.
In terms of the quality of his teaching, Sirius may not be as good as Professor Bryan, who has a strong personal style, but at least in appearance, his supporters among young wizards are not much different from Amosta.
When they walked into the Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom, Sirius, dressed in a sky blue wizard's robe, was leaning against the podium and waiting for the students to enter the classroom.
This was a close class to Slytherin, and in that house, Sirius was obviously not as popular as in Gryffindor, and when the Gryffindor students arrived, the Slytherin students walked into the classroom with a cold face, knowing that a second before the class bell rang, Malfoy appeared at the door of the classroom with Crabbe and Goyle.
Harry immediately cast an angry look at Malfoy, knowing that the reason why Malfoy had come so late was not because he was caught up in something, but because he wanted to give Sirius a dismount.
When it came to dislike of Slytherin, Sirius was no less than Harry, but for Amosta's sake, he didn't want to be like a snot.
"Now we're in class--"
Sirius took out the roster and returned to the podium with a smile.
"I learned about the teaching of this course from Professor Remus Lupin, and I have to say that I am very satisfied with the progress of your course"
Malfoy tilted his head softly, and he squinted at Professor Black, letting out a contemptuous but clear snort that was heard throughout the class.
"If you dare to mess with it, Malfoy,"
Harry turned his head grimaceously and glared at him viciously, "I'll let the traces of Sabini and Nott's faces appear on your faces—"
"I bet, Potter—"
Malfoy continued to smile disdainfully, "You must be super impressed, aren't you, there is such a godfather who is experienced in prison?" ”
Before Harry could stand up and draw his wand, Sirius, who appeared beside him at some point, had already pressed his shoulder, and he stared at Malfoy coldly,
"Slytherin deducted twenty points—do you need me to explain to you why I was deducted, Malfoy?"
Confronting a professor head-on wasn't something a third-year wizard could do, and even if he felt disdain for Sirius Black, Malfoy didn't have the courage to talk back under Professor Black's cold gaze.
"This is the picture I dreamed of!"
Under Hermione's disgruntled gaze, Ron covered his mouth and smiled secretly,
"The fun has just begun, and I wish Malfoy had been a little more spine!"
Sirius returned to his podium, and he looked around at the class, smiling again,
"At the course pace, we should learn more about werewolves, but, Professor Tobryn's blessing, there is a rare opportunity for us to understand how to deal with the attack of another creature-"
