Chapter 30: Defense Against the Dark Arts lesson

When he opened the envelope, it was sent by his mother, but it was nothing, one was that he was happy that Hope was interested in alchemy, and recommended him some alchemical works and a general study route.

He also told Hope that the letters sent by the unregistered owl would not be sent to the Department of Mysteries, and that this owl had been registered, so that Hope could keep it as a pet in the future and use it to deliver letters in the future.

Hope looked at the owl standing at the head of the bed sleeping, inexplicably multiple pets.

After squinting for a while, he felt that he couldn't sleep, so he simply went to the library to borrow the books first, and his mother said in the letter that these books were available in the Hogwarts library.

Watching Teresa sort out his learning path, someone still has to lead you to get started.

Unconsciously, the lunch break has passed, Mattio and Caleb have been playing very well recently, I can't see anyone every day, and he is left behind in a dormitory, Hope frowned and thought: Could it be that I am isolated?

Coming to the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom, the little wizards are very excited, although the professor of this course changes every year, but it can't stand the Defense Against the Dark Arts class is interesting, here you can always learn about various magical creatures and the countermeasures of the dark arts, and you can really try the class.

Of course, there is a premise that this year's dark arts teacher will not be so unprofessional.

Just as the class was about to start, Matteo and Caleb finally arrived, and when they saw Hope, they walked straight by.

Hope just wanted to ask what the two of them were doing at noon, but Matteo made a preemptive move: "Hope, what are you doing at noon, I can't find you after lunch." ”

What else can I do, sleep, three hours from eleven o'clock in the afternoon to two o'clock in the afternoon.

"I went to sleep in my dorm, what about you two?"

Matteo looked around cautiously, but no one came, so he whispered to Hope, "We found a very old walnut tree at the edge of the Forbidden Forest!" ”

Hope: @_@? What's wrong with the walnut tree, you two want walnuts.

Matteo looked into Hope's puzzled eyes and explained, "That walnut tree has a lot of magic power, and it's perfect for making wands. ”

Hope then remembered that Matteo's surname was Ollivanders.

Hope whispered, "You two are very bold enough to dare to go to the Forbidden Forest, but Headmaster Dumbledore has said that the Forbidden Forest is very dangerous." ”

Matteo said disapprehantly: "I heard the senior say that as long as the Forbidden Forest does not go deep, there is no danger. ”

Hope looked at the two of them empty-handed and asked, "What about the walnut that you folded?" Put it back in the dormitory. ”

The two shook their heads in unison, and Matteo sighed and said regretfully: "Originally, I wanted to break a branch, but unfortunately there is a tree guard pot living on it, and as soon as we get close to them, we will take something and throw it at us." And we ran into the big guy who was picking us up, what was his name, he was on patrol anyway, so we ran away. ”

"Rubeus Hagrid is the key keeper and gamekeeper of Hogwarts." Hope prompted.

"That's right, it's Hagrid, I don't know if he found us, we wanted to go with you, you should be so smart that you should have a way to get the branch from the tree guard."

There is really a way, the tree guard is a tree guarding animal, with small brown eyes, a small body, made of bark and small branches, but they are gentle and very shy, usually feed on insects, almost no harm to humans.

Unless you want to destroy the trees they perch on, and the Tree Protector Cauldron is also very useful, they are very good at unlocking.

Hope thought for a moment and said, "The Tree Protector has a gentle personality and likes to eat insects, you can take some small insects such as turtles to soothe them, they should let you take a branch." ”

Caleb rubbed his head, which was still a little packet, and said, "I don't think they're gentle. ”

Hope laughed, "You must have broken the branches, so they mistakenly thought they were going to destroy the trees." ”

The two didn't refute it, the Tree Protector pot was too small, and they really didn't find it.

The bell rang, and the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor stepped into the classroom, the second Hogwarts professor to come to class with a point, and the first one was Professor Snape.

The professor of Defence Against the Dark Arts is a middle-aged man with a beard, holding a thermos cup in his left hand, and pulling a tall car covered with a red cloth in his right hand. When people reach middle age, they have to soak wolfberries in a thermos cup.

The professor walked up to the podium, looked at the little wizard under the podium, and said aloud: "Although Headmaster Dumbledore introduced me at the opening banquet, after all, I am a newcomer, and I believe that someone no longer remembers me, so I will introduce myself again first." ”

"My name is Kylan Emerson, and you can call me Professor Emerson, but for some well-known reason, I can only teach you for a year, but I will do my best to teach you."

Professor Emerson tapped his wand on the red cloth-covered cart beside him, and the sound of hitting the bars came from inside, making the little wizards' hearts furious.

"That's what we're learning in this lesson." As he spoke, Professor Emerson pulled the red cloth off, revealing the appearance of a small cart, which contained a large iron cage containing seven or eight small iron-blue creatures, about eight inches long.

The creature immediately aroused the curiosity of the young wizards, and Professor Emmerson, pleased with the student's state, asked, "Can anyone tell me what this is?" ”

Hope looked around, this class was with Gryffindor, without Ravenclaw, it would be his world, there were too many people raising their hands in Ravenclaw, and it was rarely his turn to come according to chance, Hope raised his hand decisively.

Seeing Hope raise his hand, Professor Emmerson motioned for Hope to reply.

"These are Cornish elves, professors, who are very naughty and like to play tricks and pranks. ”

"Good, Hufflepuff plus five points." Professor Emerson took a sip of his tea from a thermos and said, "These are the Cornish elves, and as Mr. Lloyd said, they are very pranksters, and if you are not guarded they will lift you up and hang you on a tree or roof." ”

"It's very distressing, so I'm going to teach you how to deal with them."

Professor Emerson opened the iron cage and released one of them, and the freed Cornish elves immediately flew around the house like a happy one, and from time to time they wanted to sneak up on the little wizards in the class, causing everyone to panic.

On the podium, Professor Emerson held his wand and motioned to everyone not to panic, "Don't be afraid, although the Cornwall elves are not good-looking, they are not dangerous, and there is only one now." ”

"Actually, the hardest thing to deal with is a bunch of Cornish elves who will keep you scrambling and hang you up when you're not looking."

"But one is easy to deal with, and there's one spell that's perfect for dealing with a lone Cornwall elf, and that's ......"
