Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor at Hogwarts

On Wednesday morning, Chris stepped into the seventh-grade Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom again.

This is the second Defense Against the Dark Arts class taught by seventh grade students since the beginning of school.

"I have read the paper you wrote the day before yesterday. Generally speaking, it is well written."

"But I have to say that some students are really talented." Chris said, looking at the students below.

"I asked everyone to guess how to resist black magic, but this classmate came up with a [-]-word solution to the little curse of "front teeth against a stick". I have to say that it is really exciting."

"I've read a lot of books but I haven't found that there are so many solutions to this little evil curse."

Seeing many students laughing, Chris couldn't help but look for the one with his head lowered in embarrassment.

"Of course, I'm not criticizing his approach, but his focus is wrong."

"As a seventh-grade student, I suggest you use "Stop Curse" to solve this kind of small evil curse. If it doesn't work, it is also a good choice to go to Madam Pomfrey for treatment. We don't need to deal with a small evil curse. Too much energy wasted.”

"You must know that our response to black magic is always efficient, and speed is the first priority!"

"And I'm very sorry that even though the hints were given, no one of the students guessed how to fight against the Unforgivable Curse. Even if you know about the existence of curses, blood curses, and dark curses, no one wrote about them."

Chris shook his head in disappointment. The students had been stable for too long.

"Mike Reagan, please introduce to everyone the three unforgivable curses."

The student whose brother was an Auror stood up, and Mike said seriously: "Assistant teacher, the three unforgivables are the Death Curse, the Soul-Impering Curse, and the Cruciatus Curse."

"Yes, so how to fight against the Unforgivable Curse? I think many people have never thought about this problem, because the Unforgivable Curse has no counter-curse and it is unsolvable."

The students all showed approval, because there was no counter-spell and it did not require high magical attainments.

As long as the mood is in place, a third-grade wizard can use it, which is why these three black magic spells are called unforgivable.

"But we can try to resist it in other ways. Now I will talk about my guess about resisting the Death Curse."

"First of all, the Death Curse can make the target die without any wounds on the surface. The person under the curse looks like he is asleep."

"It is aimed directly at the target soul, so if there is a living body blocking it in front of us before the curse is cast, logically speaking, nothing will happen."

"So I made an idea, using a transformation spell to turn an animal whose vitality is not much different from that of a human into a vest and wear it on the body. It might have a miraculous effect when the life-killing curse cannot be avoided."

"Assistant teacher, what is an animal whose vitality is not much different from that of humans?" A Ravenclaw student raised his hand and asked.

"Like lions, tigers, and pigs."

"Magical creatures are also included in this list, but I don't need to say how much proficiency in transformation spells is required to turn a magical creature into a piece of clothing to wear on the body. This is basically impossible."

"So it's a good idea to prepare ahead of time if you expect you'll be in danger."

"I tried it once. There is nothing wrong with it except that the magic power consumption is high and you need to maintain it all the time. But unfortunately, I didn't use it that time. The death curses of those dark wizards didn't hit me and made me lose it. It’s a good research direction, but I haven’t tried it until now.”

"If anyone is interested, you can give it a try, including trying to research some counter-curses for cursed blood curses."

There was something wrong with the atmosphere in the audience, and the students all looked at him like they were demons.

Who would use it to study this kind of thing? This simply does not take the laws of the Ministry of Magic into consideration. This is something that only a dark wizard would do.

"I know that everyone is resistant to this kind of black magic, but if no one understands it, it will be an unforgivable curse that will never be solved. If everyone understands it, and some even study it in depth, then one day in the future There’s a good chance it will be cracked one day.”

"If the wizarding world wants to move forward, it's impossible to rely on just one or two people like Principal Dumbledore. Only countless people who continue to work hard can make real progress."

"If you can understand the history of the Muggle world, you will find that it is the history of human struggle."

"Reformers deny the past, pioneers create the future"

"It's a pity that no one except wizards from Muggle families understands them."

Looking at the students below who seemed to understand, Chris' expression remained unchanged, but he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

Was it a mistake?Isn’t it okay to go to class like this...

Strictly speaking, he was more than 20 years older than them, so he had no problem with it, but these children couldn't accept it yet.

But if a wizard wants to become powerful, he really has to study black magic...

If you don’t believe me, ask Dumbledore.

Only by constantly confirming your own heart can you go further.

There is something wrong with my own teaching ideas. Not all of these children are willing to learn about these black magic which are evil in their eyes.

Chris walked out of the classroom and wandered slowly in the corridor. This class was a failure.

He didn't intend to teach anything new to the seventh-grade students. He had come here this way before. What they had learned in the Transfiguration and Charms classes was enough. The most important thing was their thinking.

How to arm yourself with these magic spells, Chris was very good at this. His broad mind allowed him to use various combinations of magic spells.

He wanted to hand over these thoughts to them, but the deep-rooted thoughts in the magical world prevented them from releasing themselves.

"Chris."

A greeting interrupted his thoughts.

"Professor McGonagall, what a coincidence. Have you just finished teaching?"

"Yes, teaching these naughty little guys makes me feel that time flies too fast, and I always want to teach them a little longer."

Professor McGonagall's drag...well, Chris has experienced it.

"You seem a little worried. Is there something wrong with the teaching?" Professor McGonagall asked enthusiastically. She was still very concerned about this child and once wanted to transfer him to Gryffindor.

"There is a point where curriculum reform is more difficult than I would like."

"This is normal, Chris. The teaching system of Hogwarts has lasted for hundreds of years. Generations of wizards have graduated here and then influenced their children. The wizards who have reached high positions have influenced the wizarding world. Most of them The wizard's mind has already accepted the stereotype. You have to know that wizards have always given people a very old-fashioned impression." Professor McGonagall straightened her neck and looked at him.

The vice-principal's tone of voice was always charming and elegant.
