Hogwarts: The Book of Laws.

Wednesday was the day with the fewest classes. Except for the potions class in the morning, the rest of the time was free for activities.

In class, Snape looked like he was going through menopause, constantly causing trouble for Gryffindor and Hufflepuff.

Of course, Snape still cared more about Gryffindor, deducting almost 70 points after one class.

For example, when a Hufflepuff student was adding bezoars to the cauldron, the cauldron suddenly exploded, splashing the surrounding Gryffindor students with an unknown yellow liquid.

So Snape happily deducted 15 points from Gryffindor. The reason was that other Hufflepuff students had avoided it, but Gryffindor did not, indicating that they did not pay attention to the surrounding environment...

In the end, even the excuse that Gryffindor students were disheveled was used, and 5 points were deducted!

Simply insane!

Arthur was watching with fear and trembling, not even daring to raise his head, for fear that Snape would deduct 5 points from him because he didn't wash his face today!

After finally getting to the end of get out of class, Arthur and others rushed out and escaped from this place of right and wrong.

The next time is to continue learning ancient magic texts and meditation condensation spells.

He went to the restricted book section of the library again at night and found many advanced spells including apparation. At least he could use the ring to protect himself in times of crisis.

Arthur felt that such a life would actually be quite comfortable, if there weren't those people watching him.

If there is any course that attracts the interest of young wizards the most, it must be Defense Against the Dark Arts!

On Thursday, Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw will have their first Defense Against the Dark Arts class. Everyone is very excited and gathers at the door of the classroom after lunch.

After Arthur finished his noon meditation, he made an appointment with Nesta to go to the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom.

He was actually very curious about Professor Odense Barebone, who came from Durmstrang, and how Dumbledore found him.

As soon as they entered the classroom, the students were already sitting neatly, and Arthur and Nesta also hurriedly found their seats.

About a minute before class started, Professor Barrebone finally arrived.

He was still wearing the black cloak, and the wrinkles on his face were as deep as scars.

"Good afternoon, everyone." Professor Baribone said, he spoke quickly and sonorously, "I think you should all get this book, "Dark Powers: A Guide to Self-Defense."

"Hogwarts has used this textbook for over 100 years, written by Quentin Trimble, whose framed picture still hangs in the Headmaster's office at Hogwarts.

Being able to be used for so many years shows that this book is indeed a classic.The above details the dark creatures you will encounter and some methods of identifying black magic. "

Professor Baribone saw that the students below were all listening to him honestly, instead of whispering or deliberately making noise. He continued: "Now, everyone turn the book to the first page."

"Did you see the words above? 'Practical combat is always greater than theory'!"

"This means that I won't rely too much on this book. Maybe I won't teach step-by-step according to the teaching materials given in this book."

"I always believe that if you want to fight against the power of darkness, you must first understand it!" Professor Barrebone's speech slowed down. He glanced at the immature students in front of him, his eyes stopped on Arthur for half a second, and then said, "Instead of treating darkness as a scourge and blindly resisting and escaping!"

"We must seize the opportunity and know where to start when the dark power arrives!"

After saying this, the students in the audience were about to explode.

Everyone is guessing what this sentence means and whether they should be asked to learn black magic!

Arthur was savoring it carefully. He didn't know why, but he always felt that Barebone's words had a deeper meaning and seemed to be implying something.

"Everyone should already know,"

Professor Baribone raised his voice, suppressed the students' comments, and said, "I'm from Durmstrang, so you may have misunderstandings about me.

But I am by no means trying to teach you black magic. I am just reminding you that blind fear and avoidance often cannot make things better. You need to know more about it and make effective countermeasures before things get worse. . "

The students seem to understand, but this sentence is probably to let us know more about black magic, so that we will naturally come up with ways to deal with it when we encounter it.

Afterwards, the students applauded and felt that what Professor Baribone said was really good.

But how can they care so much now? They just feel that they will have more opportunities to perform magic in Defense Against the Dark Arts classes in the future, instead of taking boring notes with paper and pen.

Arthur also clapped, and now he could not see through Professor Baribone more and more.

When the applause ended, Baribone walked down the podium and said: "As we all know, the magical world is not actually peaceful. Although the two generations of Dark Lords have been eliminated, the hidden dangers they left have not yet been completely eliminated. The magical world is still not peaceful. There are people who passionately believe in their ideas.”

"So the dangers you face are often not only physical," Barebone pointed to his mind, "but also mental. You need to be alert at all times and know what you want in your heart. Don't be fooled. Others are bewitched.”

The little wizards were silent at this time, and everyone was confused.

"These words may be difficult for most of you to understand, but I want you to remember them." Barrybone's tone changed. "The gossip is over. Now the class officially begins. Put your textbooks away and follow I'm leaving."

The students cheered up, quickly put their books back into their bags, and followed Baribone out of the classroom.

They walked through a quiet corridor and met Peeves around the corner.

Peeves is a ghost in Hogwarts who likes to cause mischief, whether the other party is a professor or a student, and his level of trouble is even higher than that of the Weasley brothers.

Peeves was holding a big balloon filled with liquid. It seemed that he had been waiting here for a long time. As soon as he felt the crowd coming, he laughed and was about to throw the balloon into the crowd.

As a result, the first thing he saw when he walked around the corner was Odens Barebone walking in the front. His expression changed drastically, and he immediately hugged the balloon that had been released from his hands again. With too much force, the balloon suddenly burst, and a burst of The smelly liquid poured all over him.

The students covered their noses one after another and looked at his actions in confusion.

Barebone stared silently at Peeves floating in the air.

"Hello, Professor Barebone!" Peeves said with a flattering smile on his face, "Oh! I didn't expect it to be you, I was just cleaning here, hahaha! It looks very dirty here."

"It does seem so," Baribone nodded slightly, and then said to the students behind him, "Let's keep walking, be careful not to step on these liquids."

Students crossed this area one after another.

Arthur thought to himself that Peeves' prank seemed to be personal. Maybe he had already experienced the power of Professor Barebone...

Everyone walked to the end of the corridor and into the third classroom. Barrybone pushed open the room. The space inside was large and there was nothing else except a large cabinet.

"This will be our training room from now on. You can come directly here during the next class." Baribone said.

Arthur stared at the big cabinet. This scene seemed familiar.

He had a bad premonition in his heart.
