Hogwarts in a parallel world

Chapter 39 New Defense Against Dark Arts

After Winters returned to his dormitory from Dumbledore's office, it was already 11 o'clock in the evening. Although tomorrow was Sunday, he had no energy to watch the results of Harry and Ron's chess game.Winters snored as soon as he hit the pillow and had a dreamless night.

Winters woke up the next day to find a group of people discussing around a message board in the common room.Winters remembered that what they were discussing was the rules of the duel arena.

"Next Friday and Saturday at 8pm-12pm. Best of three. The loser will fight the loser of another group. If there is a tie, the on-site judges will decide who wins. No black magic is allowed," Ron read. With.

"Being disarmed or knocked unconscious is considered defeated." Hermione was a little excited.

"By the way, Winters. I asked McGonagall, and McGonagall said that Professor Dumbledore has changed his mind. He thinks you can attend the Duel Arena," Aurora said.

"When did Professor McGonagall come here?" Winters asked doubtfully.

"At 8 o'clock in the morning. She said that Professor Dumbledore had changed his mind. You can just change your wand then."

"Whose wand can I use?" Winters felt that Professor Dumbledore was giving him another problem.

"You can just use my wand. The core is the same, made of phoenix feathers," Harry said.

"The wand chooses the wizard...can that work?" Winters scratched his head.

"How will you know if it works if you don't try it?" Aurora encouraged.

Winters used Harry's wand with the lowest of expectations: the expectation that Harry's wand would not backfire the spell.But to his surprise, Harry's wand obeyed him perfectly.

But Winters was not happy for long. His wand suddenly sent out a dark current, which cracked a wall.Winters immediately threw Harry's wand back to Harry and picked up his black wand.

When Winters picked up his wand again, he found that his wand was extremely hot. Winters gasped from the heat.

"What's wrong?" Aurora asked worriedly.

"It's nothing, it's just that the wand is too hot." Winters held a glass of ice water to relieve the burning sensation in his right hand.

"You have such a bad temper with your wand." George looked at Winters' wand with some fear.

"Winters' wand was not only bad-tempered, but also very opinionated... He gave me that wand a few months ago, and then his wand flashed in my face and disappeared," Harry recalled. Said.

"Since Winters can participate in the duel arena, Professor Dumbledore should have a way to let him use Harry's wand," Hermione said confidently.

"In this way, no matter what happens next season, at least we will definitely win this season," Simo said happily.

"Not necessarily. Delk is already proficient in using the super armor protection spell, and it may be a silent spell," Fred said distressedly.

"Don't be so discouraged. Who knows if he is bragging?" Although Ron didn't care at all, judging from his expression, Delk didn't look like he was bragging.

"Let's talk about it then" Winters stretched.No matter what, at least I won't be watching.For the rest of the time, Winters spent most of the time in the library and training room as before.Elena's condition was still the same as yesterday, exhausted.

It seems that the side effects of this new potion are really serious.Winters didn't have the nerve to ask her about the branch of ancient magic text.

The first class on Monday was Defense Against the Dark Arts, and there was a lot of discussion as soon as Professor Lupine came in.

"Why is he so sick?"

"I heard he was a werewolf"

"The cost of Poison Wolf Potion was reduced by 99% two years ago, and the output is very large. Even a werewolf is unlikely to look like this."

"The low-cost poisonous wolf potion has very serious side effects and no one uses it anymore."There is constant discussion

Professor Lupine didn't care about the voices of these discussions. He just smiled, although the smile was unusually bitter and forced, and because his face was an unhealthy gray-white color, it made people feel that he would lose consciousness in the next moment.

"I think you all knew yesterday that there will be a duel arena this Friday and Saturday. So in this lesson we will learn some relatively common defensive spells." Lupine waved his wand, and a wooden dummy rose from the ceiling. came down.

"Let's practice the Obstacles spell first. The function of this spell is to knock the target away, which can be blocked by the armor. Whoever knocks the dummy away the farthest will get extra points for that person's academy."

As soon as I heard the extra points, the classroom immediately became quiet.Everyone watched Professor Lupine's demonstration with rapt attention.Professor Lupine waved his wand and shouted "Obstacles."Then the dummy was knocked away, flying a full 5 meters away, and then hit the ground with a loud noise.

"Okay, it's your turn. If you have any questions, just ask," Professor Lupine said cheerfully, and then he waved his wand.There are as many dummies as there are students in the classroom.The sound of chanting a curse soon sounded in the classroom, and the sound of the dummy hitting the floor creaked.

Although Jelena looked exhausted, she was not much slower than Winters. After Winters hit the dummy in front of him against the wall and smashed it into a pile of debris, Jelena's dummy was knocked out by her. The curse was broken into two pieces, the upper half flew to a cabinet, and the lower half remained in place.

"Ten points each for Gryffindor and Slytherin" Professor Lupine shouted.Then others tried harder.

Hermione, Ron, Harry, Malfoy, and Riley all used magic spells to varying degrees to knock away the dummies in front of them.But Neville still made little progress.Then Professor Lupine walked over and began to patiently guide Neville.Before I knew it, there were only a few minutes left before get out of class ended.

"Gryffindor and Slytherin each add 25 points. Students who are still not able to cast spells proficiently can each write an experience, no limit to the number of words. I believe you can all master this useful spell. Neville , you stay for a while. Okay, class is over, I wish you a happy campus life." Professor Lu Ping's tone was very cheerful.But Neville's round face was filled with anxiety.

"This professor is probably the best professor I have ever seen," Ron said happily.

"If he can take our Defense Against the Dark Arts from the first year, I will definitely be able to get an excellent one in practice next year." Harry agreed very much with Ron.

"Besides, we won't face this duel arena in such a hurry." Winters looked at his notes.

"We'd better hurry up, there's going to be Potions class soon," Hermione suddenly shouted after looking at her watch.

"Oh my God...I misremembered the schedule," Winters yelled.They hurried to the Potions classroom.They arrived at the Potions classroom, and there were only 3 minutes left before class began.Professor Snape gave them a cold look.

"If you don't want me to deduct 50 points from Gryffindor, then find a seat and sit down immediately," Professor Snape said sharply, keeping his eyes on Harry.

Their first Potions class actually taught Wolf's Potion, something that even seventh graders might not know. Snape, as expected, attacked Harry, and then calmly deducted 25 points from Gryffindor. .

Harry glared at Snape.It wasn't until Ron kicked Harry that he calmed down.Harry spent the next few seconds checking the time, unable to listen at all, and ran out as soon as get out of class was over.

"Snape is definitely the second worst person I've ever met besides my uncle and aunt," Harry said angrily.

"No matter how bad it is, this is the only way. Unless Professor Dumbledore replaces Snape," Hermione said helplessly.

"Maybe Snape's parents are worse than Harry's aunt and uncle," Winters said jokingly.Everyone else laughed.
