Chapter 387: Forming a Club

The Dementors broke into the school without warning, making Dumbledore furious, and he didn't expect it to happen after he had only been out for a day.

After getting the news, Dumbledore directly put down what he was doing and went to the Ministry of Magic to find Fudge.

No one knew what the two men had said in the minister's office, but by Monday, most of the Dementors stationed at Hogwarts had been redeployed, and only the last dozen or so were still guarding the necessary entrances.

In addition, there was no report in the Daily Prophet about this, as if nothing had happened.

However, the students at Hogwarts didn't know this, and no one noticed that the number of Dementors had decreased considerably.

After the weekend, the castle was still noisy and busy, and the only change was probably that Harry's broom was broken.

However, not many people except the Gryffindor students cared about this.

And Kyle...... The Dragon's Scale Badge is in demand again, and the inventory that Raton had just sent in a few days has been swept away, and most of the more expensive Dragon's Tooth Ornaments have been sold.

But it's all trifle, not worth mentioning.

The first session in the morning is Defence Against the Dark Arts class.

Professor Lupin didn't look very good, his robe was loose, and he had dark circles under his eyes, and he looked as if he hadn't slept in days.

But when the students came in, he smiled.

"Today we're going to learn a very useful little trick, search for spells."

Professor Lupin said in a very weak voice, "Using this spell makes it easy to find creatures that hide in the shadows, or items with magical powers, so that they cannot be hidden.

If it's in an ancient ruin, or in a treacherous jungle...... Being able to know in advance what's around you is undoubtedly crucial.

It will allow you to dodge the Hinkpunk hiding in the water in time, and it will also make you wary of the evil woman birds in the treetops.

Now, everybody take out their wands......"

According to the original plan, Professor Lupin was going to take the fourth grade to an outdoor class, and two weeks earlier he had prepared a large clearing on the edge of the Forbidden Forest, where the students were to use search spells to find the hidden tree guards and fairies.

But the plan couldn't keep up with the change, and he certainly didn't have the energy to take the students outside the castle now, so he could only practice spells and gestures in the classroom first.

"We'll talk about it in the next class." Professor Lupin thought to himself.

It's just that after getting used to Professor Lupin's rich and interesting class content, simply practicing magic spells seems a bit boring.

And the search spell is not the same as other spells, and it is difficult to tell if you are doing it correctly without a goal.

After about half a lesson, the students started to get bored, and the mantras and gestures gradually became perfunctory.

"Professor......

At this moment, someone suddenly asked, "Do you know about the Dementors?" ”

Everyone suddenly became energetic, and their eyes burned at Professor Lupin.

This topic is obviously much more interesting than the boring waving of a wand.

"Of course, I know." "Although I wasn't at school last Saturday, I heard from other professors what happened.

Dementors are one of the most evil things in the world, they suck every beautiful emotion, every happy memory......

It doesn't take long for the people who stay with them to go crazy until they become like them, soulless and full of evil. ”

"Then why did the Dementors go to the arena?" Someone asked.

"I think I'm hungry."

Professor Lupin said calmly, "The excitement around the Quidditch pitch, and the high spirits, was a feast for the Dementors. ”

"Professor, can you teach us how to defend against it?" Another student said, "It's the Patronus Charm that conjures up silver animals." ”

"That's hard, you won't learn it until you're in seventh grade."

Professor Lupin glanced at him and continued, "And this matter has been settled by Professor Dumbledore, don't worry, those Dementors will definitely not dare to enter the school in the future." ”

"But Professor, there are always times when the principal is away." The man said, "Just like last Saturday, if the Dementors burst into the castle while the Headmaster was away, we would have to have some self-preservation. ”

"This ......," Professor Lupin frowned, "but this is the content of the seventh grade, you can learn it now, will it be too early?" ”

"No problem, professor." Kyle suddenly said, "We can learn this spell, I promise." ”

"yes, yes." Mikel hurriedly said, "Kyle has already learned, and we must be fine." ”

Professor Lupin opened his mouth, he wanted to say that Kyle was a special case and didn't mean anything, but he swallowed it back when the words came to his lips.

"There's not enough time." He said, "If you want to learn the Patronus charm, in addition to having to control the magic precisely, you also have a high demand for controlling your emotions, which you can't learn in half a class.

But if it takes too long, it will delay your final exams, even in the fifth grade. Ls, let's wait until you get to seventh grade. ”

"But, Professor, can you teach us until seventh grade?" A weak voice came from the corner.

Professor Lupin was embarrassed to find that he really couldn't, because Dumbledore's offer of employment was only for one year.

Of course, he wasn't the only one, all the previous Defence Against the Dark Arts professors were a year.

According to the professors' grapevine, there is a stack of such employment letters in the president's office, as many as the admission letters of new students, and they can be used to write their names directly.

I don't know if it's true or not......

Seeing that Professor Lupin did not speak, there was another gossip.

"Professor, I really want to learn this......"

"We promise to study hard......"

"Even if we were to write two rolls of parchment in the future...... Hmm...... "Before he finished speaking, he was covered by someone on the side.

This one really doesn't work.

"If you're worried about running out of time...... Kyle said again, "you can learn from other professors and start a club of your own." ”

"Club?" Professor Lupin lowered his head, pondering the feasibility of the proposal.

"yes." Kyle said, "I'm sure after what happened last Saturday there must be a lot of people in other grades who want to learn the Patronus Charm......

"It's always nice to learn one more spell, and as long as you get all the people who want to learn it together in the name of the club, you only need to spare two hours a week."

Professor Lupin pondered for a moment, then nodded thoughtfully.

"The club is a really good idea and it won't delay your normal study time...... But will the number of seven grades participating together be a little too much? ”

He frowned slightly and said, "And Hogwarts shouldn't be able to find such a big classroom." ”

"Of course there is, isn't it the auditorium?" Kyle laughed, "You probably didn't know, but last school year, Professor Lockhart applied to the headmaster to set up a dueling club in the auditorium, and almost all the students participated at that time.

It's all Defence Against the Dark Arts professors, he can, and you're certainly fine. ”
