The man behind Hogwarts

After Professor Crohn read the handwriting, he stopped paying attention to William's question.

His eyes turned and landed on Cedric.

"Cedric, you answer."

"If an enemy casts an unknown spell on you, what is your first step to deal with it?"

Cedric said: "The first step is to duck."

"Very good, 10 points for Hufflepuff."

Professor Crohn was very satisfied with this answer and directly gave Hufflepuff another 10 points.

Between a decrease and an increase, Hufflepuff still gained 5 points.

Professor Crohn returned to the podium.

"What was the core content we studied in the last class?" He asked and answered himself: "Magic is very mysterious. You never know how many kinds of magic there are."

"The point I just emphasized is that the magic the enemy casts on you is an unknown spell."

"You don't even know what the curse is, so you're going to fight back?"

"This is the stupidest thing to do."

"..." A certain little badger was whipped to death again.

Crohn asked the students to open the textbook, "In this class, I will teach you how to deal with the enemy's unknown magic attacks."

William opened the book.

The second-grade textbook in front of him was found in the library.

‘Yes, that’s it. ’

William listened to the class and felt that the trip was worthwhile.

The first-year Defense Against the Dark Arts class is almost a legal education class. What is popularized is the Ministry of Magic's definitions of black magic, dark wizards, and related laws. It even tells some negative stories about black magic.

Very little of the actual art of combat is involved.

William is very interested in this course and wants to really learn the knowledge of this course.

But it was disappointing. The content of Crohn's first-year lectures was indeed too boring, even boring than the History of Magic class.

So the first class William chose to take was the Defense Against the Dark Arts class.

Listen carefully and calmly.

On the podium, Crohn's voice was sonorous and powerful, and the entire classroom was enveloped by his voice.

Not a single little wizard whispered.

‘Professor Crohn’s class feels pretty good. ’

William admired the professor's teaching style. Not to mention anything else, the way he conducted the class already had the style of a Defense Against the Dark Arts course.

The Defense Against the Dark Arts course mainly involves two aspects of knowledge.

First, recognize, understand, and be wary of black magic; second, the way wizards fight.

Although it is called 'Defense Against Dark Arts', it is by no means only aimed at black magic. Another focus is on teaching young wizards how to fight and how to protect themselves from wizards' attacks.

From this point of view, Crohn's class was passing.

......

The front of the classroom.

Several Slytherins were not interested in listening to the lecture.

Fran looked at several people, and they all looked confused.

‘Why did he come to the second grade class? ? ’

Fran didn't notice William when he entered the classroom. It wasn't until Crohn talked to William that he noticed that there was an extra first-year Ravenclaw in the classroom.

This Ravenclaw is still his 'strong rival'.

The moment she discovered William, Fran's heart felt like a landslide, and she was so surprised.

'Why is this happening? '

‘Does he have some conspiracy? ’

Fran was still secretly happy in the school hospital because she didn't have to attend classes with William, thus avoiding an embarrassing situation.

Although he was beaten three times, he felt a little relieved as long as he couldn't see William.

Out of sight is pure.

He chooses to forget the enemy if he cannot defeat him.

However, judging from the current situation, Fran's plan failed again.

‘What next? ’

Countless thoughts flashed through Fran's mind.

......

The Defense Against the Dark Arts class in second year is much more profound.

William was undistracted and focused on listening.

Because he has not finished the first grade, he now comes directly to take the second grade courses. At first, William was a little uncomfortable with it.

Crohn likes to quote knowledge in his lectures.

Some are knowledge from textbooks, and some are knowledge points he mentioned in previous lectures.

Whenever this happens, there is a half chance that William will feel confused.

"What does this sentence mean?"

"What does this knowledge point refer to?"

Unfortunately, Crohn would definitely not explain it step by step. He was taking care of the entire class of second-year students.

Fortunately, William has the benefit of extraordinary memory.

Before coming to class, he had already made preparations, which was to memorize the second-grade textbooks.

And not only that, he also read a lot of books related to Defense Against the Dark Arts.

Little by little, step by step.

The books he had read before gradually came to life in William's mind, and the knowledge points above also became three-dimensional.

This means that William is gradually digesting it.

Stiff memories are becoming flexible knowledge.

clang!

The clear sound of the pendulum clock rang.

Crohn said "get out of class is over" and then left in a hurry.

The black robe flutters.

"How's it going, William? How do you feel about the second-grade courses?" Cedric asked with a smile.

"You can tell by looking at this."

William opened his notebook and saw a lot of knowledge points densely recorded on it.

Some of it is the knowledge that Krohn told in this lesson, and more of it is the books in William's mind. Under the guidance of Krohn, their knowledge was discovered and then recorded by William.

"Haha, why do you remember so much?"

"William, if you don't understand anything, you can ask us." The shy little badger is no longer shy at all.

"Okay."

William nodded, "Just in time, I have a black magic..."

After several people listened, there was a brief silence.

"Uh."

The shy little badger asked without confidence: "If I did take this class, I feel like Professor Crohn didn't mention your question, right?"

"That's right, I didn't say it."

"It seems you don't know how to do it either." William shrugged.

The shy little badger's face turned red.

"William, you are so shameless. How can you test us with this kind of knowledge that has not been taught before?"

"But I feel like this problem..."

"Very interesting," Cedric mused.

"You saw it from the library again, right?"

William nodded.

"Let's go, the next stop is the library, I'll go look for the answer."

Several people packed up and prepared to leave.

At this time, Fran came to William with several people.

His shoulder-length hair shows his elegant temperament, his slightly straight chin, and his arrogant eyes all reveal the temperament of Fran Slytherin.

Fran looked at William levelly and said casually:

"If you ask me for advice, I might be able to answer it for you."

"Fran? Do you know the answer to this question?" William was a little surprised.

"In the Defense Against the Dark Arts exam last semester, I was O." Fran's chin straightened out even more.

No answer.

But William understood what Fran meant, so he was arrogant.

Listening to the conversation between the two, Cedric inadvertently stood next to William and took half a step forward.

It seems a bit confrontational.

"Fran, don't come here to cause trouble. The matter of the sorting ceremony is over."

Haha.

William looked at Cedric and felt inexplicably amused.

This honest man didn't know about the grove and thought Fran was here to provoke.

But the way he stepped forward moved William.

Fran:? ? ?

‘Don’t just open your mouth, for when will I cause trouble? ’
