316 Defense Against the Dark Arts Lesson

After listening to Veneto's speech, many Slytherins came forward and seemed to want to reason with her. However, as soon as these people took a step forward, they were stared back by Veneto.

Because the moment the two sides' eyes met, these Slytherin students felt as if they were in a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood. The fact that they were not spread out on the ground showed that they had good willpower.

"Some of the things the Ministry of Magic is doing now are really too much." After sitting at the table, Hermione said with a look of dissatisfaction. She once thought that becoming a senior official of the Ministry of Magic would be able to change the wizarding world, but now it seems Just a fantasy.

"This is not the case when the Ministry of Magic deals with pure-blood family wizards." Hugo smiled, which was a reaction to his sister's innocent thoughts. "Think of those Death Eaters who went to war."

Soon, most of the students walked into the auditorium and started eating lunch. At the same time, they also whispered about what happened in the foyer and glanced at Veneto from time to time.

After lunch, Hugo and the others went to the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom, and then met the first Defense Against the Dark Arts class of the year with the Slytherin students.

Because they had heard about the reputation of Professor Moody from the students who had taken the class before, they all honestly took out "Dark Power: Self-Defense Guide" after entering the classroom and sat in their seats and waited. , the atmosphere was extremely solemn.

Soon, they heard Moody's distinctive thumping footsteps coming down the corridor. He walked into the classroom looking weird and scary as usual. They could just see his claw-like wooden foot peeking out from under his robe. ?

"Put these things away," he said gruffly, leaning on his crutches as he trudged to the podium and sat down. "You don't need these textbooks for this class."

After hearing Professor Moody's words, the students all put away their books. Most of the students' faces were full of excitement and curiosity, while a few students had complicated expressions.

This situation occurs because the proportion of pure blood in both Ravenclaw and Slytherin is very high, so the number of students who have Death Eaters in their families is not small. Many of those Death Eaters were killed. Moody caught it.

In the eyes of everyone who were either curious or in awe, Moody took out the roster, shook his head, shook his long gray hair away from his twisted and scarred face, and began to call the names.

His normal eye moved down the list, while his magical eye kept turning around, staring at each student who answered.

"Okay," he said after the last student finished answering, "I received a letter from Professor Luping introducing the situation of this course."

"According to Professor Lupine's description in the letter, you have already mastered a lot of basic knowledge on how to deal with dark magical creatures. This is also thanks to the good teacher you met last year."

After hearing this, many students nodded reservedly in agreement with this statement.

"But what I want to say is that most of what you learn is useless!" Suddenly, Moody changed his tone and raised his voice.

Upon hearing this, the students sitting in their seats raised their heads and looked at Moody almost at the same time. There was also a look of suspicion on his face.

"Listen to what I have to say first. If you want to refute, wait until you have heard what I have to say before you refute me." Moody stood on the podium and made a calming gesture before continuing.

"You think you have mastered a lot... but what you have to face in the future will not be those low-level dark creatures. Those thrown into the battlefield during the war include but are not limited to werewolves, giants, controlled fire dragons, vampires... and even Death Eaters! "

"But there is no war breaking out now!" Marietta whispered at this time. "And according to the news from the Ministry of Magic, war will not break out in Britain in the short term."

"Yes, most people may think so. But do you think this is really the case?" Moody glanced around the classroom with his two eyes and then said.

"The year before last, your Defense Against the Dark Arts professor Quirrell died. The year before last, a basilisk almost caused heavy casualties in the school. Last year, someone escaped from Azkaban, and dementors also attacked many people. Innocent people, and I think you have all heard about what happened in this year’s World Cup——”

At this point, many people looked at Hugo and Hermione, because in the chaos, the two of them not only helped innocent people escape, but also captured a dark wizard who caused the chaos.

"So, our world is not safe." Moody raised his voice and said, "Do you still feel that danger is far away from you now?"

All the students in the classroom put away their previous indifferent expressions and looked much more serious. Seeing this, Moody nodded with satisfaction, and then suddenly asked a question.

"So...do any of you know which spells will be punished the most severely by wizarding laws?" Many students raised their hands, and Moody glanced around the bottom of the podium and pointed to He who raised his hand first. Sensitive. "Miss Granger, you answer."

"The Imperius Curse, the Cruciatus Curse and the Death Curse." Hermione quickly replied, "These three spells are called the Unforgivable Curses, and any one used on a person will be sentenced to life imprisonment in Azkaban."

"Yes, these three spells are the most frequently used and most harmful spells in the Wizarding War." After Hermione answered, Moody nodded with satisfaction.

"For example, this was the case in the last war. Every spell brought a lot of trouble to the Ministry of Magic." Moody sneered on his face, and then took out a row of glass bottles containing spiders from the drawer of the podium. .

Next, Moody demonstrated the power of the three Unforgivable Curses. At the beginning, everyone thought it was a bit interesting. But when Moody asked everyone to associate these magical effects with people, everyone became nervous.

"Moody's teaching methods have really not changed much." Veneto said to Hugo through the Admiral Network at this time.

"Javelin was the last Auror brought by Moody. She said that Moody's first lesson at that time was to tell them how terrible these spells were."

"If there is any difference, it can only be said that at least in this class, Moody did not tell the list of Aurors who died in the line of duty and how they died in the line of duty since he joined the army."

"Now it seems that Principal Dumbledore has also realized that the war is coming." The infamous voice also sounded in the Admiral Network at this time, "Otherwise, we would not have found a practical teacher to teach us. "

It has to be said that although Professor Moody is not very good at teaching the right students, his knowledge of combat is enough to arouse the interest of all students.

So when the get out of class bell rang, almost everyone had an unfinished expression on their faces.

When leaving the class, everyone gathered together in twos and threes to discuss what was said in class today. Hugo and the others were no exception, but Hermione quickly brought the topic to exam-related content.

"Do you think the fifth- and seventh-grade students will also learn these contents this year? After all, they have to face important exams this year."

"It's hard to say, because the content of the courses in the school is chosen by the professors." Hugo shook his head. "But what I can be sure of is that Moody's level should take these things into consideration, so that everyone will not fail the exam."
