Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor at Hogwarts

"What should I do? Professor McGonagall."

"Reform does not happen in one go. If you suddenly change the teaching method of the Defense Against the Dark Arts course, most students will not be able to accept it. So I suggest that you, like other professors, set up a club for your course to attract interested students. People join, and then rely on them to slowly change the minds of most students.”

"I have also learned about your theory. It is similar to the teaching method currently promoted by the International Association of Wizards. Durmstrang Academy of Magic even teaches students to learn black magic. However, the British wizarding community is not very accepting of this kind of teaching for children to take the initiative to understand. If you think about how to fight black magic, this approach is difficult for people to accept in the UK."

Separate them!

Chris had an idea, and planned to work with Lockhart to create the most popular dueling club among students in advance, find out the students they were passionate about, and then gather them together for unified teaching.

Fortunately, it was discovered early, and Chris was a little lucky.Otherwise, I am afraid that only Slytherin students will like his class in the future, and he may be the most unpopular teacher after the least popular principal.

"Thank you Professor McGonagall, I think I know what to do."

"By the way, do you know about the natural magic I've been studying recently?" Chris remembered Professor Flitwick's reminder at the opening dinner. He had been too busy these days and never had the chance, so he just happened to be able to consult today.

"Filius told me that unlike all known magic, the trajectory of magic has never been seen. I have to say, Chris, you like to walk the road that others have not walked."

Professor McGonagall looked at her former student with great satisfaction. Such a pioneering attempt required great courage.

Sprout is so annoying.

"Yes, I plan to make a new wand. The core may use the tail feathers of the thunderbird. Filius said you can give me some suggestions." Chris looked over expectantly. He was now interested in the new wand. Still have no clue.

"Ha, I think I probably know it. Come with me."

......

In the vice-principal's office, Professor McGonagall waved her hand and opened the cabinet. Dozens of long boxes flew out and were rotating in the air.

"here."

Professor McGonagall raised her finger and tapped it gently, and one of the boxes slowly floated into her hand and was handed to Chris who walked in.

"That's probably what Filius was talking about."

Chris opened the box, and there was a magic wand lying inside. He could feel the power of thunder and lightning when he gently touched the wand with his fingers.

Looking at this beautifully crafted wand, Chris could tell that it was made from the tail feathers of a thunderbird.

"This was made by Shecobar Wolfe?"

"Yes, he likes to make wands from thunderbird tail feathers, and he is very popular with shapeshifters. I collected one when I was young, and this is one of my treasures." Professor McGonagall looked back at the wand floating in the air. Box said proudly.

"You can give it a try."

Chris took the wand in his hand and tried to communicate with it using magic, but unfortunately, he didn't get any response from the wand, and could only feel a slight surge of electricity.

"No?" Professor McGonagall asked when Chris put down his wand.

"It's a pity that walnut is not suitable for me. I can only communicate a little with Zhanxin." The weak current response just now could not be used well by Chris.

"It seems that you still love blackthorn wood. If you need it, you can use it to study it. But you have to be careful. It is not easy to repair if there is something wrong with it now. The tail feathers of the thunderbird can no longer be bought."

Since the Thunderbird was designated as a protected magical animal by the United States Department of Magic, it is impossible to buy anything related to the Thunderbird on the market. Moreover, the XXXX level magical animal is already very powerful in combat, and few people can make a profit by catching it.

Chris put the wand back into the box and nodded and put it away: "It really inspired me. If I can do more research, it should add a lot of ideas to my new wand."

I still need to go to the United States, but that will have to wait until summer vacation.It's just how to get around their Ministry of Magic that gives Chris a headache. The Aurors there are much more disciplined than those in the UK.

……

On Friday, a message appeared on the bulletin board that caught everyone's attention.

The Defense Against the Dark Arts Duel Club is about to be formed, and the first class will be held in the auditorium next Friday evening.

There will be four experienced professors as guides, and we hope everyone will participate enthusiastically.

Student Union President: Pavarotti Beckham.

"This is so cool, Harry. I didn't expect professors to actually start a club about dueling!" Ron looked at the bulletin board with excitement. He had already had enough of Lockhart's stage plays that he rehearsed every day.

"Will you participate Hermione?" Harry looked at Hermione who had several books piled in her hands.

The little witch nodded seriously: "Of course, I can definitely learn a lot from this."

"That's for sure. I heard from my brother Bill that the school hasn't had this kind of activity for many years, but I hope it's not Lockhart who teaches us."

Thinking of their Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, Ron said with some pain.

Hermione was a little unhappy and glared at Ron fiercely, "Ron! Professor Lockhart must be very good at dueling, otherwise he wouldn't have been to so many adventures."

Ron was a little unconvinced: "Then ask all the students in grades one to four how many of them like his class."

"There aren't many students in fifth grade and above who like Assistant Professor Will's class! The duel club will probably ask you to hold on for three to 10 minutes while Mandrake cries."

Ron was still a little suffocated when he thought about this, but he still said loudly: "I would rather listen to the cry of Mandrake than learn those stage plays. At least that will allow me to learn something useful."

Hermione didn't refute again. She also believed that Lockhart didn't teach anything useful, but her arrogant character obviously wouldn't let her bow down to Ron easily.

Most students in fifth and sixth grade have learned that emergency magic, and I have to say it is very effective!

When he and Slytherin had another conflict on the court two days ago, Wood restrained three people by himself, and he was not cursed once.

This made Harry and the others very envious. If they also learned it, they wouldn't be afraid of the endless curses that the Slytherin students used.

So although many students are afraid of this devilish assistant, not everyone hates his class.

Gryffindors were even proud of how long they lasted through Mandrake's cries.

Harry saw his two good friends getting into an argument again, and had to speak out to dissuade him:

"I'm also looking forward to the Duel Club. Let's go and see it together then. As mentioned above, there are four professors co-instructing us. There will always be a reliable professor to guide us."

Ron and Hermione stopped arguing.
