Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor at Hogwarts

"As everyone knows, I joined the Ministry of Magic as an Auror after graduating from Hogwarts. So I want to ask you, what do you understand by dark magic?"

A Ravenclaw student quickly raised his hand and said:

"Powerful and difficult to repair, a magic released by using one's own negative emotions."

Chris nodded and said: "Yes, it is a powerful magic that uses one's own negative emotions to release."

"According to the regulations of the Ministry of Magic, it causes great pain to both the caster and the recipient."

"For improper purposes and without certain necessity."

"The caster has the subjective intention to harm others."

"The caster is aware of the effects of this magic."

"These four points are the basis for determining whether it is black magic, and also the basis for determining whether the caster is a dark wizard."

This is what Chris spent a long time sorting out the pitiful magical laws in his mind.

Looking at the interested expressions of the students below, Chris asked the next question.

"Then who can tell me, what kind of black magic is most likely to be encountered by a wizard who has graduated from school normally in the magical world?"

The wizards in the classroom looked at each other. They knew about black magic, but they had not thought about what kind of black magic they might suffer.

A Gryffindor student said: "Assistant, I... I think I know something."

Chris turned his head and looked at him with squinted eyes: "Mike Reagan, I'm so sorry, I thought about it for a while. Your brother Johns is also an Auror, right, but he and I are not in the same department."

"Yes, Assistant Will. He complained to me about similar things, but from the perspective of an Auror. He said that the dark magic that Aurors are most susceptible to is the Unforgivable Curse!"

"hiss"

There was a lot of gasping in the classroom, and the reputation of the Unforgivable Curse was so great that it frightened them.

"That's right." Chris waved his hand for him to sit down.

"The Unforgivable Curse is indeed the dark magic that Aurors are most vulnerable to. After all, you can't expect those dirty dark wizards to show mercy to you."

"I know that many students want to join the Ministry of Magic as Aurors after graduation, but you must know that Aurors are also a very dangerous profession. Every year, a large amount of funds from the Ministry of Magic are used to subsidize injured or killed Aurors."

"Then let me tell you which dark magics ordinary wizards are most vulnerable to."

Chris showed a cruel smile: "It's all black magic including the three unforgivable curses!"

"Wow"

The classroom suddenly became noisy, and what Chris said made them full of doubts.

At this time, a Ravenclaw student stood up and asked: "Assistant, why do ordinary people sound more dangerous than Aurors?"

Chris stretched out his hand to signal everyone to be quiet: "Yes, why do ordinary wizards look more dangerous than Aurors?"

"According to statistics from the International Association of Magicians last year, 800 wizards in the world were persecuted by dark wizards and black magic in a year, an average of 2.2 people per day. And Aurors, a very dangerous profession, averaged 0.3 people per day. The number of casualties was only [-]."

"Of course there is a reason for this because of the huge population of ordinary wizards, but have you ever thought about the fact that the casualty data for such a dangerous profession like Aurors is so low?"

"Because Aurors are far more vigilant and knowledgeable about the dark arts than the general public."

"This is also the main reason why all schools in the magic world must have Defense Against the Dark Arts classes. Not everyone can give up the huge power brought by negative emotions."

There was dead silence in the classroom. They didn't expect that the world outside the school was so dangerous, and they were about to graduate. Suddenly hearing this terrible news for them made most of them look unhappy.

Chris looked at the group of teenagers leisurely, allowing them some buffering time.

Only the Slytherin students seem to be in better condition, they are worthy of being noble little snakes...

"Assistant, I want to know what is the probability that with the knowledge we have learned now, we can...um..." A Hufflepuff student who stood up suddenly didn't know the language to express himself. .

But everyone could understand what he meant, and it brought everyone's thoughts back.

"Are you trying to tell me whether you can safely protect yourself outside the school with your current level?"

"That's what I mean, assistant teacher. And my family, they are all Muggles." The thin boy sat down embarrassedly.

"Of course there is a high probability! The data I am talking about is worldwide. The British wizarding community is still relatively safe. The Ministry of Magic has done a good job in this regard."

Although the years without nostrils will be miserable, Chris added silently.

But for now, the dark wizards in British wizarding circles have hit very small numbers.

"However, black magic is also constantly improving. You can't just rely on the few things you learn in school to ensure that you can wander around in the outside world. Believe me, this is a true portrayal of my past. I will go out Only then did I realize that the standard of the previous Defense Against the Dark Arts course was really poor."

Chris humorously teased himself, making everyone laugh heartily.

"So when I apply for the position of teaching assistant, I will try my best to promote the reform of the Defense Against Dark Arts course. And you are the first batch of students who are about to enter the society, so I will be stricter with you."

"The assessment of my NEWT is no longer the only purpose. It is the most critical thing for you to master the power of fighting black magic skillfully."

"Of course, if you do it, the NEWT exam will definitely be very easy."

Chris's strict attitude did not make them feel uneasy, but rather excited.

Most Defense Against the Dark Arts courses over the years have been theoretical, which makes this course boring.

"Then how will you teach us, assistant teacher?" Many students asked.

"Understand it, resist it, defeat it!" Chris said concisely.

"Believe me, this will be the most exciting class you've ever had in your seven years at school."

"That's great, I can't wait to learn something new." Andrew waved his fist excitedly, and many students did the same.

"So, the first assignment today is to write an essay. Just write about the black magic you know, as well as methods and conjectures about combating it. The required number of words is [-] words...turn it in before class next week. "

"what......"

After all, the students who could not escape the control of the thesis sighed one after another, especially the little lions who were ready to have a big fight. The atmosphere instantly fell to the extreme.

This was the first time they had seen a paper requiring a word count. How many pieces of parchment would it take to write [-] words?

Chris had anticipated this situation and said with a smile: "Give you some tips, you can use your imagination, such as how to defend against the Unforgivable Curse?"
