Hogwarts Advanced Guide

Chapter 298 Introduction is the new version of the ship you have never been on!

When he woke up the next day, Hera wanted to hide in bed more than at this moment, but he had to get up, because he had to fulfill the agreement he had with Dumbledore—substitute.

He really didn't know where to start with Voldemort's request. After all, his suggestion to Barty Jr. was to directly use the Imperius Curse to control other warriors, giving Harry enough time to reach the final trophy stage.Of course, Dumbledore had helped him take one small step - the trophy had been placed in the center of the maze.

But Hera still needs to find a chance to exchange it for a Portkey!
This risk is too great!
Hera felt a little headache when he thought about it. He could only do it step by step, such as getting a portkey that met the requirements first. Fortunately, he was in the smuggling business, and making portkeys was not a difficult task for him.The only trouble is probably to find a suitable opportunity to cheat.

But after what happened to Barty Jr., anything related to Harry would have to go through layers of scrutiny by the Ministry of Magic and Dumbledore. How could he have a chance to do it?
This is a real headache.

While Hera was thinking about it, her body got up involuntarily and changed her clothes.

"Did you get up so early?" Penello curled up under the quilt, and the dazzling sunlight made her unable to open her eyes.

Hera adjusted her neckline in the mirror, "Well, I promised Professor Dumbledore to temporarily replace Moody's position, and I will probably be busy during this time."

"Is there anything I can do to help?" Penello sat up with her arms around the quilt, her eyes still closed.

Hera shook her head, "It's nothing, it's just some simple work, you should take a break, it's still early."

"It's okay, you're all up, I'll go downstairs to have breakfast with you." After Penello finished speaking, he fell back on the bed.Judging by her appearance, it is clear that she hasn't rested enough.Hera chuckled lightly, without thinking much, pushed open the door of the office and walked towards the auditorium downstairs.

When he arrived at the auditorium, Dumbledore was already at the guest table, and he smiled at Hera and blinked at the same time, the meaning could not be more clear.

"Okay, everyone, I'm going to make an announcement," Dumbledore stood up, and he tapped the goblet in front of him lightly with his spoon. The dining room fell silent, and the students looked at him in puzzlement. "Sorry, Professor Moody has to leave Hogwarts temporarily due to his health."

"Oh!"

There were waves of boos from the four long tables. Obviously, they did not expect that Moody, who seemed to be in good health, would temporarily leave Hogwarts due to illness.

"Quiet." Dumbledore shouted again. "Professor Lestrange will be in charge of the next Defense Against the Dark Arts course until the end of this semester. I regret that you can't say goodbye to Moody. After all, you have had a good time for a semester."

There was another round of applause from the four long tables, the loudest of which came from Draco in Slytherin, probably the student who hated Moody the most, although Hera didn't know why it pleased him so much.

Hera stood up, bowed her head slightly towards her classmates, and then sat down quickly. This job was thankless.He suddenly remembered a very important thing - Dumbledore didn't seem to mention the salary before! ?

He was so tired yesterday that Hera didn't even notice it.But obviously now is not a very good time. He doesn't mind fighting for the Galleon he deserves with Dumbledore.

Breakfast ended with his mind full of messy thoughts, and he quickly followed Dumbledore who was about to leave the auditorium briskly.

"Professor, I think about the salary issue." Hera didn't mean any embarrassment, not even a hint of foreshadowing.This surprised Dumbledore a little.

For the sake of money, don't be fooled!
"Oh, Hera. I think you must have made a mistake." Dumbledore straightened his expression. He looked around very seriously, then approached Hera, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "I think I've already paid, use it well"

Dumbledore patted Hera's heart at the end, and the meaning couldn't be more obvious.

Wand = pay!

"But—Professor Dumbledore, I can give you back your wand, you know, mine is easy to handle." Hera gestured to return the wand to Dumbledore.But Dumbledore gently stopped his arm, which made Hera very uncomfortable, and his arm hit his chest.

"That's your wand, Hera." Dumbledore shook his head, "Remember, don't let power control you."

After saying this riddle, Dumbledore headed straight for the marble staircase, leaving Hera alone in the corridor.

"Power. Control?" Hera repeated Dumbledore's words, he couldn't understand Dumbledore's meaning at all.

Soon, the class bell rang, and Hera hurried towards the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom on the third floor.

Fortunately, when he stood on the podium, the little wizards didn't feel bored at all. Instead, they greeted Hera excitedly.

Well, these guys are fourth year students, Gryffindors and Slytherins.Hera has already seen many familiar figures inside, Draco and his two followers, Hermione and her two
"Miss Granger, where are Potter and Weasley?" Hera stood on the podium, frowning and asked, even without the roster, he could still see that there were two people missing in the classroom.

"Sorry, Professor, I don't know, I haven't seen them all morning." Hermione stood up and said in embarrassment.

Hera held onto the table to keep herself from being overwhelmed. Unexpectedly, there were two thorns in the substitute class on the first day. Do these two guys think that they can wantonly skip class if they are 'liked' by Barty Jr.?

This is too much.

"Okay, if that's the case, Gryffindor will deduct ten points, each." Hera went to find a textbook in the cabinet beside her, and said lightly.He didn't prepare teaching materials before, but fortunately, there are always some old textbooks in the classroom. Although they are a bit old, they are still usable.

Hera heard laughter from Draco, but he ignored it.He just found a textbook that was [-]% new.

He stood on the podium and opened "Dark Forces: A Guide to Self-Defense". He scanned the contents, briefly recalled the content, and raised his head to ask the students: "The Hogwarts textbooks should not have changed in the past two years, right? I hope it will still be "Dark Forces". If I change it, I may not even know what to talk about."

"Of course, our textbooks have always been so traditional." Hermione pouted, obviously, she didn't want to express her dislike of textbooks.

Of course, her acting skills are really bad.

"Where did you talk about before?" Hera glanced at the textbook again, guessing that they should have talked about the actual combat part. The previous content about dark creatures should be the task of their first few grades, and they should learn the defensive spell later.

"Uh, Professor Moody didn't teach us according to the book." It was Hermione again, and she answered Hera's question again. "He's a bit unreasonable, isn't he?"

"Well, it seems that this year is another chaotic year for your Defense Against the Dark Arts. I hope Dumbledore won't let me take charge of your final exam." Hera tilted her head and joked, "Trust me, this will give me a lot of headaches. Well, then let's start with the defensive spells in the textbook. First, the most commonly used spells are also the most effective—"

Bang!

The door was pushed open suddenly, and two figures rushed in.

"Sorry, I'm late, Professor Moody, I—" Harry and Ron stood blankly at the door with their textbooks between them.

However, it was not Professor Moody who was watching them from the podium, but Hera.

"This class started almost five minutes ago, Harry—and you, Weasley, take a seat." Hera looked up and said bluntly. He always paid great attention to punctuality, even though he was late today.

When Hera was doing smuggling business in Greece, he was released as a pigeon for two hours. He had to wait by the cold and windy seaside, which was simply too painful.Of course, Hera later tricked him of all the Galleons on him, and then gave him a door key that Hera didn't know where to go.

No one can fail to keep time in front of Hera, except himself.

"I can't believe that Hera just let us sit down like that." As soon as Harry took his seat, he talked to the little friend beside him, the voice was not low.

"Yeah, he already deducted twenty points from Gryffindor for your lateness." Hermione complained mercilessly.

"Let's talk in class, Gryffindor will deduct another five points because you need to." Hera frowned and looked in Hermione's direction. They were really unlucky and happened to run into Hera who was in a bad mood.

A chuckle came from Draco's direction.

"Quiet!"

Draco's face was flushed red, and he covered his mouth to dare not make a sound.

"Very well, where did we just talk?" Hera picked up the chalk, and just wanted to continue writing the spell on the blackboard, but found that she was interrupted by Harry and had long forgotten.

"The most commonly used and most effective spell, Professor." Hermione raised her hand and said casually.

"That's right," Hera nodded. "What we're going to talk about today is this spell—the Stunning Spell. This is the most basic spell for wizards. When you face a noisy old lady or... Well, did I say anything wrong?" Hera made a joke, and the atmosphere in the classroom obviously became more lively. Even Harry and Ron, who had been deducted points, laughed.

"Professor Moody hasn't spoken the spell before, has he?"

"No." The students replied in unison.

"Very good, then I can continue talking with confidence." Hera patted her chest with a relieved expression.

There was another murmur from among the students, apparently it was Hera Lestrange they knew, their favorite Defense Against the Dark Arts professor!
"First of all, when the stun spell is used, the tip of the wand will emit a red light. When you are dueling with another wizard, when you notice the red light from the tip of his wand, you will know that he is about to cast a stun spell. You should react, such as dodge or iron armor spell. It is also a very commonly used spell. It is generally colorless, but it can reflect the color of the bounced spell when other spells are reflected."

"And these two incantations are what I'm going to teach you today." Hera put down the chalk, and the names of the two incantations had already been written on the blackboard.

"The first thing we have to do is - remember their spells, has anyone read the book?"

Hermione raised her hand high. There was no doubt that she had read "Dark Forces" by heart, and it should have been during last summer vacation. She had always been a good student.

Hera nodded slightly, and Hermione stood up, her tone was very affirmative, "We are unconscious and protected by armor."

"Very good." Hera applauded. "Then, I'm going to demonstrate it for you. Let me demonstrate the Stunning Curse first."

Hera scanned the classroom, but couldn't find a suitable target in the end, so he had to take a few steps back, took out his previous magic wand from his pocket, and whispered to the podium: "Dizzy!"

A blinding red light shot from the tip of his wand and hit the lectern.Of course, the lectern was unscathed, and the Stunning Spell had no effect on non-living things at all.

"This is the Stunning Curse, followed by the Iron Armor Curse, um - I want you to try throwing something on me, and I will use the Iron Armor Curse to resist it." Hera shook her wand and continued.

In an instant, textbooks and quills flew towards Hera. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and was not hit by the ink bottle, otherwise he would definitely let those little wizards know what anger is.

"Enough is enough!" Hera rolled up her sleeves, "I'm just doing a demonstration, Gore, put down the table in your hand!"

Gore, who looked like an orangutan, put the desk back on the ground, and he scratched his head in embarrassment, but this obviously did not calm Hera's anger, but he had no reason to blame Gore, after all, it was what he said just now.

"It's not time for you to chant the spell. Come, take out your wand, wave it with me, and pay attention to this subtle wrist movement." Hera showed the students the movement of casting the spell in slow motion. The wand should shake like this, and then shake that way. If the spell is uttered, the spell will be successfully cast.

Hera also came down from the podium, instructing each student's movements one by one, "Swipe, shake, remember, wave and shake, of course it is very important to recite the spell accurately, but I don't think you should recite the spell now, you can't even fix your movements. I don't want to be chased and beaten by Madam Pomfrey, she has taken care of enough patients this year."

It was not easy to do, at least when the get out of class was over, Hera didn't see a particularly standard movement, which was probably a bit too difficult for them.

but
Who told Hera not to prepare the content of the class before!
