Hogwarts Advanced Guide

Chapter 204 Beauxbaton's First Class
Madam Maxim focused on Hera, but unfortunately he couldn't quite understand what she said.

Hera just stood up in time when Madam Maxim looked at him and accepted the applause from the students.

The dinner went smoothly without any surprises, which made Hera breathe a long sigh of relief—as expected, where there is no savior, there is comfort.

After dinner, the little wizards returned to their dormitory under the leadership of the prefect, and Hera also went to his office. This place is similar to Hogwarts. There is a secret door in the professor's office, where the professors rest.

Early the next morning, Hera woke up early from the office. This was not Hogwarts. He was not very familiar with the corridors and classrooms, so he had to get up early to avoid missing the class time.

It's a sad thing, I have to say - Hera only had to walk down one hallway to get to her classroom at Hogwarts.

But now, he needs to go through at least three corridors before he can get out of the office at the end of the fourth floor, come to the stairwell, then climb up four flights of stairs, and finally reach the classroom on the eighth floor.

And the subjects he teaches are the same as Hogwarts, Defense Against the Dark Arts.

It's just that in Beauxbatons, there is another subject called black magic spells.

With such a comparison, the status of Defense Against the Dark Arts has directly risen to a very important position.

When Hera knew that Madam Maxim had entrusted her with such an important position, she was really surprised. She thought that he would teach some less important courses first, such as Muggle Studies, but she didn't expect it to be Defense Against the Dark Arts.

For this reason, Hera tried his best to prepare a speech to avoid revealing his poor French. He prepared the content of the first class, trying to shock all the students so that they would not ask Hera difficult questions to answer.

This is really a laborious thing.

Fortunately, Beauxbaton's salary was pretty good, and Hera was also working hard to prepare under the drive of Jin Gallon.

Although Hera had rushed towards the classroom as quickly as possible, the moment he pushed open the door, the bell rang—he entered the classroom against time.

His black robe looks so dazzling here, but fortunately, he has already ordered three sets of cloaks for himself in the name of Beauxbatons in the most famous and also the most expensive private custom-made cloak shop in France.

Hera will soon have even more luxurious cloaks to wear.

Hera was standing on the podium. He had just rolled out his parchment when his eyelids jumped up. What did he see?
register!

"Damn it!" Hera cursed secretly, how could he forget this?
Hera picked up the roster with trembling hands, "I hope I can pronounce all the names correctly."

He clearly remembered that the students in this class should be in the fourth grade, and the names of the students were clearly written on the roster, which Hera could clearly identify.

Unfortunately, it was in French.

Hera coughed lightly and threw the roster into the corner of the classroom. He didn't know French at all.

Under the puzzled, curious, and incomprehensible eyes of all the little wizards, Hera cleared her throat.

"You came here to learn how to use magic to protect yourself from dark creatures and black magic, and to learn some simple offensive magic," Hera lowered her voice, trying to make herself appear unfathomable, while secretly looking at the parchment speech marked with phonetic symbols.

He raised his voice a little, and his short sentence has made the classroom orderly, "I don't expect all of you to learn this subject, so I won't call names. I only care about the actual test results of the final exam. Even if you miss all the classes, I don't care—as long as you pass the exam, I can teach you how to protect yourself and how to deal with dark creatures, such as dementors, basilisks, and trolls—but there must be one thing, that is, you are not the kind of fools I often encounter."

After Hera finished her opening remarks, she looked at the little wizard in the classroom with a satisfied face. He had to maintain the majesty of a professor.

The whole class fell silent.

"Then." Hera raised her chin, "I believe that everyone has mastered a lot of basic knowledge on how to deal with black magic animals. But in terms of dealing with spells, you have not learned enough—not enough."

"Therefore, I am going to let you have a taste of the spells cast among wizards. I have a lot of time to teach you how to deal with black magic—" Hera continued reading according to the parchment.

"What, what did you say? (French)" a boy blurted out and asked.

(PS: This school year, if there is no special indication, all communication will be in French, and French words are specially marked, which are vocabulary that Hera cannot understand. I am not a foreign language major, and everything is based on the effect of the book, please understand.)
Hera squinted her eyes and cast her eyes on the student, staring at him until he was a little hairy.

"Then, let this student stand up and answer the question." Hera said coldly. "Which spells are most severely punished under Wizarding Law?"

The boy stood up, his eyes flicked around, but he didn't dare to look at Hera.

Several hands were raised tremblingly, but Hera's French didn't allow him to say too much, so he could only keep staring at the boy.

"Maybe, Slater, she knows?" (French)" The boy said something pale, but Hera didn't understand, he just continued to stare at the boy.

After about a minute, the boy gave up and lowered his head. He almost buried his head in the book.

"Then you answer." Hera nodded to a girl next to him.

"Three Unforgivable Curses."

"Then what are they?"

"The Imperius Curse, the Cruciatus Curse, and the Killing Curse."

"A very perfect answer." Hera applauded and said happily. The boy had been forgotten by him in the corner. It would be good to leave a powerful 'role model' in the first class. At least his deterrent power should be spread among the students after class, which would help him save a lot of trouble.

Hera lowered her head and glanced at the parchment again, re-reading the vocabulary that she couldn't remember well and was prone to slip of the tongue, and then continued: "The Imperius Curse, a magic that has caused us a lot of trouble. The person who is cursed will feel a blank mind, and then feel extremely happy. Then there will be a voice telling the person who is cursed to do something. But if you cast this curse too much on a certain person, you will develop resistance and weaken the power of the spell."

"And this is one of the spells I'm about to show you."

Hera carefully took out three small glass bottles from her pocket, which contained
