Hogwarts Sneakers

Specific rules and procedures for phased testing have been announced.

It involves eight subjects: Astronomy, Charms, Defense Against the Dark Arts, Herbal Medicine, History of Magic, Potions, Transfiguration, and Flying. Among them, Astronomy and History of Magic do not have practical exams, so there are fourteen in total. take an exam.

All will be held in the last week of October, and results will be announced on Halloween.

At the same time, thanks to the expansion of the number of extra points to the top three, the enthusiasm for learning among first-year students has increased a lot.

In Defense Against the Dark Arts class, Slytherin is with Gryffindor.

However, facing Professor Quirrell, even the very positive Hermione could only lose.

After class, Hermione complained: "Oh! I even think Professor Quirrell is worse than Professor Binns. Until now, we have only stayed in the textbooks and have not conducted corresponding practical exercises. Then how can we pass the practical exam? !”

Klaus agreed: "The Defense Against the Dark Arts course should focus on practical combat!"

Edwin said: "Perhaps he thinks that as long as he has enough garlic, he can defend against black magic."

Suddenly everyone burst out laughing, dissatisfied with Professor Quirrell.

As the time for the phased test approaches, everyone feels urgent. In the past, they did not pay special attention to the teaching level of professors, but it is different now, especially for courses such as Defense Against the Dark Arts, which have a wide coverage and rich content!

Defense Against the Dark Arts course covers not only dark magic, but also magical animals and mysterious creatures.

As long as it is harmful to wizards, it is basically included.

Not only that, the course also involves some defensive spells, which need to be practiced, but Professor Quirrell always refuses to let them practice because of the danger. Even the experiments in the original textbook have been abandoned by Professor Quirrell. 's clean.

Ron came over and said, "I dare say that if I encounter black magic now, I will definitely die."

Harry exaggerated: "I can't believe he can become a professor!"

After exonerating Hagrid, Harry and Ron expressed their gratitude to Carl and became friends.

At the same time, Hermione initiated a request for them to join the six-person study room.

Passed unanimously, without a doubt.

Carl snickered in his heart, when Professor Lockhart comes to school next year, you will doubt life even more!

At least Professor Quirrell has a professional background, and Lockhart, in addition to his skill with the Oblivion Charm, may be praised for his social arrogance, which is gone except for eating. He relies entirely on imagination and bragging in class. None are reliable.

Of all the Defense Against the Dark Arts professors, the one who is truly reliable is Lupine.

Karl felt that he had discovered a blind spot: it was true that the enemy and the enemy had the same origin.

Lupine is a werewolf, and werewolves are also the targets of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class!

I don’t know where Dumbledore found these short-lived professors. I don’t know if it was to avoid Voldemort’s curse on Defense Against the Dark Arts that he didn’t dare to hire normal professors, such as Professor Snape, who had been rejected many times. .

"Actually, Professor Quirrell is quite powerful." Carl said: "He used to be at Ravenclaw Academy, and his grades have always been among the best. Not only does he have very solid theoretical knowledge, but he also pays great attention to the acquisition of practical experience. He is an out-and-out genius. .”

Hermione looked surprised: "Really or not? It's completely different from the Professor Quirrell I know!"

Everyone else also looked in disbelief.

Edwin even questioned: "Could it be the same name?"

The Professor Quirrell they knew was timid, timid, and even more vampire than a vampire!

Karl smiled: "I learned about it from Senior Sister Penello. Not only that, I also saw Professor Quirrell's notes from his student days, which recorded all aspects of academic studies very comprehensively. I was deeply impressed by it after reading it." Inspiring and very useful.”

Hermione shook her head: "I really can't imagine Professor Quirrell being a genius."

The others nodded in agreement.

Karl smiled. While he felt pity for Professor Quirrell, he could not help but feel pitiful.

Professor Quirrell, like Myrtle, is also a victim of campus bullying. Although I don’t know if it has anything to do with his final choice to defect to Voldemort, it will eventually deviate from his character. For example, his submissiveness to others is what he left in his youth. Down.

Parvati held Hermione's hand and said, "Karl, you can't hide the things you get from Ravenclaw!"

Karl smiled and said: "Even if I don't hide my secrets, you won't learn from me."

Parvati pouted and said to Hermione: "You see, Carl knows how to scold me."

Hermione looked helpless: "If you continue like this, I'm worried that even Edwin and Ron won't be able to pass the exam, and so will you, Lavender!"

Edwin and Ron suddenly became unhappy: "Hermione, what do you mean?"

Hermione immediately became angry: "What do I mean? Every time you study in self-study, you two always sneak out to play wizard chess, and you also bring Parvati and Lavender with you. If you don't study yourself, you are dragging others down." , I’m so embarrassed to talk about it!”

Edwin and Ron were so beaten that they had no power to fight back.

Edwin said nonchalantly: "I am also trying to combine work and rest. Keeping studying may not be effective..."

But what he responded to was Hermione's murderous gaze, forcing him to force back the rest of his words.

Weber patted Edwin on the shoulder and said, "I don't think you'll be able to see your No. 1 in 30 years."

Karl came out to smooth things over: "Everyone has been too depressed recently. Studying is a good thing, but you can't push yourself too hard. Although Edwin doesn't study..."

Edwin looked at Karl pitifully: "Why do you even say that..."

Karl apologized without sincerity and continued: "But what he said about combining work and rest is also reasonable. How about we just relax today and play some games after finishing today's homework."

During this period, in addition to classroom study and after-school homework, they all studied in a self-study room with six people.

They would not return to their respective common rooms until the curfew in Hogwarts. The study time was full, and they only had one less morning reading and first class than the normal Chinese high school students. He was fine, but the others Obviously he couldn't hold it any longer.

Even Hermione, Carl found that she was starting to become restless and irritable.

Hermione said: "But I don't know wizard chess."

Although she felt that Ron was not good at anything, she had to admit that Ron was really good at wizard chess.

If you were playing wizard chess, this would be an opportunity for Ron to show off!

Karl smiled and said: "Let's play something simple, but before that, let's do our homework first."

In the six-person study room, after everyone had finished their homework, Karl took out a piece of white paper, drew crisscross lines on it, and then drew "X" and "O" on the spaces to represent the two types of chess pieces, and said: "It's a very popular game in the Muggle world."
