Zhang Xiao shook his college robe, but he didn't refuse, and came to Lu Ping's side neatly.

The little wizard couldn't help but stick his head forward and stare at him, for fear of missing the slightest detail.

Lupin smiled and shook his head:

"Do you want to have a fight with Zhang or something?"

Many of the little wizards smiled as if their thoughts had been punctured.

"Although I have been running around all these years, I still read the newspapers, and according to my conversations with other professors, Zhang's progress has far exceeded that of the third grade.

Therefore, Zhang's level has no reference value and does not represent your true level. ”

The little wizard sighed, Professor Lupin was right, but the professor knew so well why he was going to open it.

"Alright, time is precious, so let's get started—" Professor Lupin paused and asked the first question, "Zhang, what do you mean by Defense Against the Dark Arts?" ”

Well? Zhang Xiao was stunned for a moment, but she didn't expect Professor Lu Ping to ask this question.

Not only Zhang Xiao, but other little wizards also began to communicate in a low voice, this class has been in place for more than two years, and it seems that no one has really thought about what Defense Against the Dark Arts is.

Everyone just opened the book step by step and recorded some things, such as some common black magic characteristics and anti-spells, and that's it.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Xiao said slowly:

"Professor, I think Defense Against the Dark Arts should have enough knowledge of the Dark Arts in addition to those dark creatures.

and the ability to use some counterspells. ”

As he spoke, Zhang Xiao suddenly fell silent, because he found that he seemed to have neglected this class, and he had never taken it seriously, and Defense Against the Dark Arts was never a simple concept.

It is compound and requires a wide variety of knowledge.

No, it should be said that Defence Against the Dark Arts class is the sum of all the others.

Herbs, spells, fantastic beasts, shapeshifts. Defense Against the Dark Arts will be used in every lesson you learn.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xiao continued under Lu Ping's gaze:

"Defence Against the Dark Arts class isn't just a simple class, it's complex and requires you to take the other classes seriously enough.

Dark wizards don't just take their wands and cast spells on you, poison, curse, dark creatures."

The little wizards listened quietly, they, like Zhang Xiao, had never looked at this course from a higher perspective.

Two unreliable teachers in a row filled them with negative emotions about Defence Against the Dark Arts class, and even secretly said that it was one of the most useless courses.

Just kidding, if this class wasn't important, how could Voldemort want to go back to school and be the teacher of this class?

Lupin's eyebrows raised, he didn't expect the little wizard to think about this level, he immediately changed his posture, put down his arms around him, looked at Zhang Xiao attentively and seriously, and encouraged him to continue.

Zhang Xiao stopped again, and in Lupin's point of view, this little wizard who had a good reputation in the school and even in the British wizarding world frowned at first, as if he had thought of something again.

Then his eyebrows slowly raised, revealing a look of sudden realization.

Finally, I couldn't help but smile a little.

"Professor, I think-" Zhang Xiao said seriously, "In addition to passive defense, we can also choose to attack.

Offense is one of the best defenses.

When you encounter a dark wizard and can't get out of it, instead of waiting passively defensively, you should attack. ”

Lupin also laughed, and he clapped vigorously, and the same was true of the little wizards, especially the more agile ones, such as Hermione and Malfoy, who fully understood what Zhang Xiao said.

The whole classroom was filled with enthusiastic applause, Harry clapped his hands excitedly, and Ron asked in a low voice:

"Man, what Zhang said, do you understand?"

"Of course!" Harry looked at him in amazement, his hands still clapping vigorously: "Offense is the best defense, kill the dark wizards when you see them!" ”

The rolls of Malfoy's eyes were about to roll to the sky, and you heard the last sentence after Zhang said so much.

Could it be that this is what Potter's ears heard?

Zhang: Abba Aba, Abba Aba, kill them!

Hermione pursed her lips and said excitedly:

"What are you talking about, the important thing is obviously the front, it turns out that the Defence Against the Dark Arts class is so important, my God, why didn't I think about it before?"

Ron asked pitifully:

"Hermione, what do you mean by Zhang? Isn't that the Defence Against the Dark Arts class? ”

He pointed to the textbook "Dark Forces: A Guide to Defense" that had been set aside.

Hermione suddenly didn't want to talk to Ron.

She sat up straight with a straight face, staring at the two people in front of the podium seriously, wanting to see what else to say next.

When the classroom finally calmed down, Lupin said with satisfaction:

Slytherin added 20 points in praise of Zhang's insights.

He motioned for a seat to go, originally planning to sneak up on Zhang and show everyone what a dark wizard was.

But Zhang Xiao's answer made him very satisfied, this kind of sober cognition should not be reminded by sneak attack.

Professor Lupin looked at the little wizard and said seriously:

"Once, when I was in school, I just thought that Defence Against the Dark Arts was about mastering the Reverse Spell and knowing the dark creatures.

It wasn't until I actually faced the Dark Wizard that I realized how shallow my original idea was, and that all we could do was to defeat him by any means we could in the face of an unscrupulous and crazy enemy.

As Zhang Xiao said, every knowledge point you learn in other courses has the potential to save your life in the future. ”

Lupin suddenly smiled:

"Of course, if you immediately knock out a dark wizard, it's the best option, because then you don't have to face the machinations of those dark wizards."

A little wizard raised his hand and asked in a loud voice:

"Professor Lupin, have you ever defeated a dark wizard?"

"Of course, there is more than one, in fact I have been to most of the dark wizard gathering places, and I have faced the most vicious dark wizards, and it was caution and caution that kept me alive."

"Wow-" The little wizards immediately turned into star-eyed eyes, looking at the old-dressed Lupin in front of them with admiration, and originally thought that the patches looked very shabby.

But now it feels like it's full of stories.

To travel around the world, to the gathering place of the dark wizards, where to have time to make money, the little wizard immediately found a very reasonable excuse for the new professor.

Lupin clapped his hands, attracting everyone's attention, and pulled out his wand and wrote a few classifications on the blackboard.

"Dark animals, dark magic items, dark magic, dark plants."

"In general, our common dark magic can be found in these four categories, among which dark magic items are the most hidden, if not with special detection spells, or if they are familiar enough with the atmosphere of black magic.

It's easy to get caught in the way.

There was once a wizard who opened a book, and his face was attached to it, just because the book was disguised as The Tales of the Poet Bean.

There was also a wizard who credulously believed in a talking skull and created a potion that was said to increase strength, only to drink it and become a new skull, which was a very powerful curse.

You can only be liberated by coaxing until the next person becomes a skull. ”

The little wizard couldn't help but shudder, and Ron said in horror:

"It was my favorite book when I was a kid, and if I were given it, I would have hit it."

"What's that? Ron," Harry asked in a whisper.

"Wizards' fairy tales, my mother used to read them to lull me to sleep when I was a child."

Harry and Hermione had the idea of borrowing this book at the same time, a fairy tale book for wizards? Isn't that interesting.

Lupin ignored the noisy voice of the little wizard below, and continued to speak solemnly:

"I have a piece of advice for dark magic objects here - if you don't see where its brain is hiding, never trust what you think."

Zhang Xiao's eyebrows raised, slightly surprised, this sentence is very familiar, it seems that Mr. Weasley said it?

Hermione immediately recited a few words silently, looking at her, as if she wanted to engrave this sentence in her heart.

In the following time, Lupin mainly told everyone about some of the experiences he had encountered and how he survived the crisis.

But with Lockhart's experience, the little wizard cautiously chose to be skeptical.

But when Hermione asked a few crucial questions and details, Professor Lupin answered them all, instead of talking about him like Lockhart did.

Now the young wizards were finally sure that they had a real teacher, and their hearts were so excited by those thrilling experiences that they could dive headlong into the Defence Against the Dark Arts class now.

When the bell rang for the end of class, the little wizard realized that time had passed so quickly, and they reluctantly said goodbye to Professor Lupin.

and discussed with each other how powerful the professor was, and of course, Zhang Xiao's remarks about how he thought of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class also spread, which caused a small discussion.

But by noon, the school's hot spot was quickly replaced by something else.

That's Hogsmeade.

The entire third year and above were discussing how to play in Hogsmeade, and some of the young wizards who had been to Hogsmeade with their parents became the stars of the day.

Everyone gathered around him, eager to ask for all the news about Hogsmeade, and it was clear that everyone was looking forward to it.

The first-graders and second-graders could only bite their spoons and watch, but they pricked up their ears and refused to miss a little conversation.

His expression was blurred, and he was clearly full of yearning for Hogsmeade.

"Hogsmeade," said the elder brother in a long voice, pretending to be casual, "Yes, I go often, and my father was taken to me many times before going to school. ”

As a conspicuous Slytherin bag, how could Malfoy miss such an opportunity, he tried to make it seem that he knew Hogsmeade inside out.

"Deves-Bans, Magic Equipment, Jokowi, and the Post Office."

"The post office? Draco, what's there to see about the post office? A little wizard asked.

Malfoy glanced at him, spread his hand, and made a big gesture:

"There are about two hundred owls out there, all crouched on the shelves, all color-coded, depending on how fast you want your letter to go!

Have you seen it? ”

"Oh——!" The little wizard let out a neat exclamation, there are already a lot of owls in Hogwarts, but there are only about a hundred, and the price of magic owls is very high, and not every little wizard has his own owl.

Or to say that it's rare to have a very beautiful snowy owl like Harry.

For example, owls are like mobile phones, Harry is the latest fruit brand Pro max, and most people's owls are just basic, Arthur's old owls are old models, and Ron's piggy is mini.

As for Zhang Xiao, that's amazing, he directly uses a satellite phone (clairvoyant)

Malfoy suddenly smacked his lips and said with a very nostalgic look:

"The best place to go to Hogsmeade would be the Three Broomsticks, where there's a drink called Butterbeer, and it's so delicious that I have to have a drink every time I go there."

The little wizards exclaimed again.

Zhang Xiao heard the three broom bars, and was suddenly reminded of memories, well-it's not a good memory, such as the boss (mother) who looks like a woman in the game, but speaks with a male voice?

Time flies, and the last class on Friday is a herbal medicine class, and the chubby Professor Sprout is introducing Bai Xian to everyone.

This is a relatively rare magic plant, which is the main ingredient for making 'White Fresh Essence', which is extremely effective in wound healing, even if it is used directly, it has a good healing effect on superficial wounds.

The mixture of white fresh and silver powder can also treat werewolf bites.

"Kids, do you remember what I just said?"

Professor Sprout asked loudly with a pot of white fresh.

She sighed in response to her sparse response, not surprised by the result:

"I know there's a lot of anticipation for Hogsmeade, but the lessons are also important." Professor Sprout wrinkled his face: "Especially Bai Xian, it is the focus of the exam, whether it is the ordinary wizard level exam or the ultimate wizard final exam.

Bai Xian will be listed as a compulsory exam question, and if anyone does not complete today's homework well, I'm afraid I will have to keep him on the weekend and review it with me.

Yes, you were right, I meant to say goodbye to Hogsmeade! ”

The young wizards' eyes widened in horror, as if they couldn't believe that the kind Professor Sprout could inflict such a 'severe' punishment.

Classroom discipline changed at a rapid pace, and they listened carefully to every word the professor said, for fear that they would be left behind.

Sprout nodded in satisfaction.

The method that Minerva taught me seems to be particularly useful.
