It's just a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.

Chapter 28 Educational Programs
It is Sherlock's helpless move to use Transfiguration to become Tom to teach.

He has only been familiar with the original owner's magic skills for about two months, and he still has no way to raise his level to the level of an adult wizard.

Based on the progress of her studies in Hogwarts, Sherlock estimates that her current level of magic understanding should be comparable to that of sixth grade students, but she knows a lot more magic than them.

So he knew a lot of more flexible ways of transfiguration, but he couldn't make the deformed objects more detailed and realistic.

In order to prevent drawing a tiger from being an anti-dog, Sherlock simply chose Tom, a cartoon character who does not have so many details in appearance and is very simple to deform.

Anyway, as long as Tom has the magic effect he added when transforming, it is enough. Expressing it in the form of Tom cat can also slightly change the students' attitude towards him.

At least someone who likes to watch Tom and Jerry is definitely not an unkind professor like Snape.

As for finding a few real black magic creatures as teaching props, Sherlock has also considered it.

But he lived cautiously in Hogwarts, and he didn't know how to get those things.

But this matter may be resolved through Hagrid in the future.

The challenges in the classroom continue.

The successive defeats of the Hufflepuff boy and Ron aroused the desire of the remaining young wizards to win.

When they watched from the sidelines, they didn't feel how powerful Tom was, but his speed was a little faster, his body was soft, and he had the ability to change his shape at will. There was nothing special about it.

Sherlock's Tom is indeed not such a powerful deformity.

Not to mention the basic spell "Blazing Flame" that he learned in the fourth grade can defeat it, and the universal de-curse "Curse Standing" that can be learned in the third grade alone can also release the transformation, allowing Tom to return to the original ordinary one. desk.

But it's a pity that the students in this class are all second-year wizards, and they didn't master either the blazing flames or the magic stop.

So they would only monotonously use magic spells to fight against the enemy. They used the wheel station to challenge the whole class, but no one let their magic hit Tom.

Before the end of get out of class, Sherlock turned Tom back into the desk, asked the students to return to their seats, and summed up the questions for them.

"Tom isn't strong, that's what each of you can feel, but why is it that no one can beat it?"

"Is it because the spells you learned are not strong enough? Or is the venue limiting your performance?"

"Maybe there are reasons for all of these, but in this classroom, with what you have learned in the first grade, is it really not enough to beat it?"

"Or, do you think that the only magic knowledge you have learned in the first grade is to wave your wand stupidly and cast spells at the enemy?"

"How to use what you have learned to defeat Tom, this is your homework to think about. Go back and think about how to write your ideas on parchment. Your homework is not limited to length, as long as it is effective, even if it is only one word. .”

"In the next class, you can challenge Tom again according to the way you wrote in your homework. Those who succeed can still get [-] points, but there is no way to waive the homework for the next month."

The second-year class ended, and the students of Gryffindor and Hufflepuff left the classroom excitedly.

Theoretically speaking, this class is their first defense against the dark arts class in the true sense. Last semester, Quirrell's defense class in textbooks every day is no different from self-study and reading books by himself.

It was a lot of fun taking a class with Professor Forrest.

This was the first day of school, the consensus of the first and second graders who had already taken Defense Against the Dark Arts class.

And Tom's things let them find out from the side.

Professor Forrest, who usually has a cold face and a hard-spoken voice, does not seem to be as cold and unkind as he appears on the surface.

It is certainly impossible for an indifferent person to like Tom Cat, isn't it a cartoon animation that will make people happy?
So, even though Sherlock behaved like Snape, both of them had an indifferent face when teaching speech.

But the students, especially those who have already taken the defense class, are not very afraid of him.

Just a few days after the start of school, several Ravenclaw students who had shown themselves outside had already rushed to Sherlock's office to ask questions related to Defense Against the Dark Arts.

Judging from this trend, Hogwarts students get along very well with the new professors.

This is what Sherlock would like to see.

Only when students understand that he is not a cold and withdrawn problem personality inside, this perception will affect other professors at Hogwarts.

With this imperceptible completion, I have changed in the minds of Professor McGonagall and Dumbledore.

As Dumbledore said at the opening dinner, he is looking forward to his own change, so he can show him the change openly.

The teaching of the first and second grades ended on the first day of school, and Sherlock was more prepared for the next teaching of Defense Against the Dark Arts in the senior grades.

On the morning of the second day of school, the fifth-grade students were whispering with anticipation that Professor Forrest would give them a unique class.

They saw Sherlock walking in with a thick stack of parchment.

"After entering the fifth grade, do you know what is the biggest challenge you will face?"

At the beginning of the class, Sherlock didn't talk too much nonsense, and directly started his opening remarks.

Under the podium, a group of students shook their heads in confusion, and none of them knew what kind of challenge they were about to face.

Sherlock shook his head in disappointment.

"It's really not as good as the next generation. When I was in school, even the fourth grade students had already started to get nervous, and you all started the fifth grade this year, but you don't know why you should prepare for it."

This is completely Sherlock's nonsense in Hogwarts using the words of his previous teacher, and he has never been to Hogwarts, how could he know whether the original owner is nervous or not in the fourth grade.

"OWLs, Ordinary Wizarding Level Examinations, this is at the end of the fifth grade, and you will face the first magic exam that will determine your future."

"Different from previous final exams, OWLs will be held by the Ministry of Magic. There will be a total of [-] exams. The results of the exams are still graded according to O, E, A, P, and D, but this time the grades will determine the Ministry of Magic. The tests you have learned at Hogwarts for five years are also an important basis for other wizards to identify your abilities after you leave the campus."

"Defense Against the Dark Arts is one of the twelve exam subjects, and it is also a must for everyone."

"Professor Quirrell's teaching effect in the last semester was not ideal, which means that you have actually fallen behind compared to the usual year's study progress, so in the next year's defense class, you have to deal with this exam. Redouble your efforts."

"I have arranged a complete plan for your study in the next year - an exam-oriented education plan."
