I'm playing a big knife at HP

Before the first Defense Against the Dark Arts class in the second year, gossip about Professor Larosa had been circulating among the students.It is said that she used to be an Auror, and legend has it that she was the youngest Auror to pass the qualification examination in the past 50 years.Third-year Cormail McLaggen swears that she passed her exams almost immediately after she graduated, even as the Ministry of Magic quarreled over whether she could skip formal training to perform her duties.

"The head of the Auror Office finally convinced the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, because she got the highest score in every item. No one has been able to refresh her assessment results so far." McLaggen said at breakfast, "I know these things very well. .My uncle was on good terms with Rufus Scrimgeour."

These rumors made Harry, Ron, and Hermione look forward to this young-looking professor: Of course, this is also due to Professor Quirrell as a comparison.

After the lunch break, the second-year Gryffindors and Slytherins walked to the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom.Draco Malfoy was still laughing loudly at Harry for handing out autographed photos to Colin Creevey, and Harry was flushed with embarrassment and annoyance.The children walked into the classroom and found that Professor La Rosa was already waiting there. The desks in the classroom were gone, and there was only a circle of chairs, a podium, and an hourglass on the podium in the huge classroom.The students fell silent and looked at each other, not knowing what was going on.

"Please take a seat." Marciana came out from behind the podium, "As you know, I am your new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. Unfortunately, my predecessor was unable to explain to me your current progress in detail. "

She paused, and Harry, Ron and Hermione exchanged a quick cryptic look.

"So, we have to take a small test before the official class."

Hermione sat up straight in an instant, eyes blazing wildly.Several of the children squirmed uncomfortably.

Marciana smiled slightly, "You can also think of this as a game. The form of the test is as follows: Before this hourglass leaks out," she pointed to the big hourglass on the podium, "I hope you will use any means and spells to attack I—I don't care where or how you got the spell, I mean, by any means—the first man to hit me with a spell wins thirty points for his house."

Now, it wasn't just Hermione who was shining.Malfoy immediately chatted with Crabbe and Goyle, and Ron and Harry eagerly figured out possible spells.Hermione held up a hand aloft.

"Miss Granger, please."

"But professor, you used to be an Auror. I read from the book that Aurors have to undergo rigorous training. We are only second-year students and haven't learned much yet."

Harry noticed Malfoy grimacing when Hermione asked him questions, but he kept his ears open for Professor Larosa's answers.

"Very well, a reasonable question." Marciana nodded approvingly at her, "But you must have discovered the part of this rule that is beneficial to you, right?"

Hermione raised her hand again with a swish.

"Miss Granger."

"We're far more numerous, and you say it only takes one spell to hit you."

"Exactly, you're sharp, Miss Granger."

Hermione blushed with excitement and embarrassment.

"As long as any of your spells hit any part of my body, no matter how powerful the spell is, you can all be considered victorious. Your greatest advantage is numbers, and I suggest you think about how to use this. Fighting—whether or not The use of the Dark Arts - is fluid and unpredictable, and so is defense. Using your strengths and powers flexibly is as important as learning more spells."

"I have a problem." Draco Malfoy said slowly, "You can use the Iron Armor Curse to fend off all our attacks. Even if we point at you here and cast a class of spells, we can't hit you." You. So what's the point?"

"Very good, Mr. Malfoy." Martha nodded, and Malfoy showed a smug look on his face, "Of course I can't make this game so boring... So, I will only use the spells from the textbook Chapter 1, That is..." She waved her wand, and a few lines of words appeared on the blackboard, clearly marking the spell's pronunciation, effect and counter-spell, "Freezing spell, binding spell, and flying around. Of course I reserve Curse Standing and Iron Armor Curse protect your rights. After all, it is very common to be accidentally injured by your own people in battle. I can't let you enter the medical wing in the first class. Besides, if I am forced to use other spells, Or use the protection spell on myself and I'm the loser, and the student who forces me to use other spells is the winner."

"And what if several spells hit you at the same time?" Pansy Parkinson asked impatiently.

"Thank you, Miss Parkinson. If they hit at the same time, each will add thirty points. If there is a sequence, only the first one will score."

Several Slytherins exchanged a look.

"Any more questions? If not, you now have 5 minutes to discuss strategy. Let's get started!"

The Gryffindors and Slytherins immediately divided into two piles, discussing excitedly head to head.Marciana leaned lazily on the podium, observing the two groups of students.The head of Slytherin is unsurprisingly Draco Malfoy; in Gryffindor, Hermione Granger is the fastest person to take up the task of formulating strategies, but her appeal in Gryffindor It is not as popular as Malfoy in Slytherin, and several small Gryffindors do not seem to intend to listen to her command.

"It's time, put your schoolbags under the podium." After all the students stood up and walked to the podium one after another, Marciana waved her magic wand, and a circle of chairs automatically leaned against the wall.

"Get ready." She turned the hourglass upside down, but none of the sand fell out.The students dispersed, raised their wands, and surrounded her.She looked at these nervous and excited little faces, and smiled slightly, "Start!"

The sand in the hourglass fell with her voice.

All the students chanted the spell aloud - Draco Malfoy almost before she could begin - Marciana froze the nearest student with a flick of her wand, and another With a wave, the student flew towards a chair by the wall, landed lightly on it, and was restrained so that he could not move.Now, there was a gap in the circle that surrounded her tightly.She slipped out of the gap extremely nimbly, and twenty or thirty spells directed at her hit the podium behind her one after another, blasting out the white wooden core inside.While running, she froze the students around her and tied them to the chairs one by one. After a while, the chairs by the wall were filled with one-third of them.The students still standing in the classroom were undoubtedly agile or skilled in spells, including Malfoy, Harry, and Hermione.

Malfoy gave Crabbe and Goyle a sudden wink, and they turned suddenly, pointing their wands at Harry, and at the same moment Malfoy cast a spell at Marciana.Harry, who had just cast a spell at Marciana, suddenly felt bad, but it was too late to dodge. Marciana flicked her left hand lightly, and a silent iron-clad spell bounced Crabbe and Goyle's spells towards the ceiling. , at the same time she flashed Malfoy's spell with a nimble sideways, and then with a wave of her right wand, Crabbe was sent to the chair.

Malfoy's movement was like a command, half of the Slytherin students pointed their wands at the Gryffindor students, and the other half continued to attack Marciana without stopping.Ron - already bound to the chair - yelled "Despicable! Cheating!" at the top of his lungs as he wriggled and tried to break free, knocking the chair over.

"Okay!" Marciana smiled, while swiftly dodging the spell, she waved her left hand, and a magic barrier was erected in front of the attacked student, and the spell bounced to the ceiling, making small holes one after another.Harry was in shock, wondering how Marciana knew who the spell had hit - half the students were behind her!She doesn't look like Professor Quirrell has eyes in the back of her head.

At this time, nearly two-thirds of the chairs were full, and there were less than ten students standing.

Hermione gritted her teeth, pointed her wand at Ron, and shouted, "The spell stops!" Ron immediately fell off the chair, "Cover me!" Gryffindor, began to liberate his classmates one by one.

"Very good!" Marciana shouted with a smile, pointing her wand at Hermione, a beam of light shot out, and Hermione couldn't move immediately, and was moved to a chair in the corner and restrained.Ron tried to use the spell to save Hermione, but he couldn't master the spell very well. He tried several times without success. Instead, Marciana seized the loophole and tied him to the chair again.

Seeing that most of the hourglass had leaked at this time, Pansy Parkinson suddenly pointed her wand at the hourglass and shouted, "Break to pieces!" But her spell had no effect on the hourglass.

Marciana quickly grabbed the wand in Goyle's hand with her left hand, waved both hands at the same time, and Pansy Parkinson and Blaise Zabini were restrained to the chair, one left and one right.Goyle rushed up suddenly, "Draco! Quick!" The big boy opened his arms and tried to hug Marciana's arms.It's a pity that before his fingers touched Marciana's sleeve, she ducked around behind him, and with a wave of her wand, Malfoy and Goyle were tied to the chairs by the wall at the same time.

Although several Gryffindors were rescued by Hermione and returned to the battlefield, they could not last long in such a one-sided situation. Ten seconds later, the last student—Harry, the most agile—was also frozen strapped to a chair.At this time, there is still a shallow layer of sand in the hourglass.

Marciana clapped her hands, put Goyle's wand back into his hand, and was about to speak, when Malfoy and Zabini yelled at the same time, "Bones in pieces!"—they somehow broke free of the Freezing Charm slightly. Controlled, the wand in his hand was aimed at Marciana with difficulty, and the light of the two spells shot straight at her.Harry and Ron were behind her now, and if they got out of the way, those two children would be cursed; and all the chairs were occupied, unless she summoned a student to block the spell for her, she would have to use defense curse.

Marciana quickly raised her wand, a small wall of ice suddenly formed at the tip of the wand, right in front of the two spells, the wall of ice was shattered.She flicked her wand again, and Malfoy and Zabini were frozen immobile again, only the eyeballs were able to move a little.

The last grain of sand fell through the hourglass.

"Okay. It's time."

She clapped her hands, and suddenly everyone was able to move, and the children jumped up and shouted excitedly, the loudest of them being Draco Malfoy.

"You lost! You lost!" shrieked the pale boy. "You cast an extra spell!"

"Please be quiet!" Marciana pressed down her hands majestically, the students immediately stopped discussing, and more than 30 pairs of eyes looked at her eagerly.

"Mr. Malfoy, you seem to have something to say."

"We won!" Malfoy screamed excitedly. "The last spell you used wasn't Freezing, Binding, or Flying Around!"

Marciana smiled, "But, I did use the Freezing Curse."

"But the Freezing Curse can only restrict the movement of objects, and the Freezing Curse can only summon ice!" Hermione replied loudly before Malfoy could speak. Malfoy gave her a hard look, and Ron also tugged on her sleeve He muttered softly, "Why do you want to speak for that side?"

"Very good question, thank you for pointing out the difference between the two spells, Miss Granger. Let me prove that I didn't cheat. Look carefully, it's a Freezing spell."

Marciana raised her wand, waved it slowly and clearly, and articulated loudly, "Immobulus!", and a sheet of ice suddenly "grew" from the tip of her wand.She squeezed the piece of ice and handed it to Blaise Zabini, and the dark-skinned boy took it in a daze.

"Although the freezing spell is something you haven't learned yet, let me demonstrate it once to show the difference between the two." Marciana took two steps back and said clearly again, "Glacius", a large wave of icy cold The cold air emerged from the tip of her staff, freezing the ground in front of her feet into a thin layer of ice.

"How did this happen!" Blaise Zabini squeezed the ice, his face full of disbelief.

"The Freezing Spell, Immobulus, as Miss Granger said, is used to restrict the movement of objects. You can use it to restrict living things or non-living things, and it can also restrict the opponent's actions," Marciana spread her palms to indicate Students, "It can also restrict the movement and vibration of non-living things." She conjured up a tuning fork and an iron rod out of thin air and handed them to Ron, "Mr. Weasley, please knock it for me."

Ron knocked hard, and the tuning fork made a high-pitched buzzing sound. Marciana raised the tip of her staff and pointed at the tuning fork, "Immobulus", and the buzzing stopped immediately.

"And the objects you can confine can be very big—if the spell is strong enough, you can even freeze a dragon—or so small that you can't even see them."

Hermione suddenly gasped loudly, "It's water molecules! You restricted the movement of water molecules in the air!"

Marciana turned her head in great surprise and raised her eyebrows.All the students looked at Hermione in bewilderment, and it was obvious that none of them understood what she was saying.

"This is fundamental physics! Water freezes because water molecules slow down at low temperatures. If they slow down enough, the molecules form links and the water changes from liquid to solid! Important It's not the temperature, but the movement speed of the molecules, if... if you use magic to directly control the movement speed of the molecules, in theory, the water vapor in the air can be condensed into ice directly..." Hermione replied quickly, feeling irritable Grabbing his hair, "But! But how is it possible! I've never heard of someone who can use this spell like this!"

"That's because it's a very inefficient way of using it," Marciana laughed appreciatively, "The magic power and concentration I just used to conjure up that small piece of ice wall is enough for me to use other spells to turn the entire classroom Freeze! I wouldn't have done it if it wasn't for not getting fouled."

The other students still didn't seem to understand at all, but Malfoy and Zabini at least understood that they didn't get any extra points, and turned their faces away in disappointment.

"Okay, let's sum it up. Although most people's attack and defense spells still need to be strengthened, I think you all performed quite well today. First of all, Miss Granger, you are the only one who guessed how I The student who made the ice wall, five points from Gryffindor for your superior comprehension." Hermione straightened up proudly.

"Slytherin, whose idea was it to attack Gryffindor?"

The Slytherins looked at each other, but no one said anything.

"Well, whoever it was, that person earned Slytherin five points for effective tactics." Marciana shrugged.

Malfoy lifted his chin in sudden triumph, and Harry and Ron jumped to their feet, with Ron yelling, "What!"

"I must declare that it is wrong to attack your classmates, and you are absolutely not allowed to do so outside of class." Marciana said very seriously, "However, I did say that you can use any means and take advantage of all. And as a That professors have to protect students is indeed your known advantage."

Hermione murmured in a low voice, as if she had realized something, "... There is a saying in "The Art of War" that goes, 'If you strike, you will save, and if you destroy the savior'..."

Marciana gave her another surprised look.

"Then, Miss Granger added five points for her awareness of the need to restore her own combat power, and her use of the magic spell that is beyond the second-year level."

"Mr. Goyle, it's taboo to let go of a wand. Even if you don't need to disarm your weapon, there are many ways to take it." The tall Slytherin boy flushed, "But you showed excellent fighting awareness, and the wand was taken away." The deprivation doesn't mean the battle is over. You've earned three points for Slytherin." Goyle looked so stunned that his neck was red now.

"Miss Parkinson, you are acutely aware of the weakness of the rules, and despite my precautions, your attempt still earned Slytherin two points."

"Mr. Malfoy and Mr. Zabini, your attack at the last moment was very tricky in terms of timing and angle. Together, you won five points for Slytherin."

"Finally, Mr. Potter, you are the one who dodged my spell the most times and the one who came closest to hitting me. You earned five points for Gryffindor."

With a wave of Marciana's magic wand, the chairs returned from the wall to the center of the classroom, and the students found their own chairs to sit down.With another wave of her wand, everyone's schoolbags returned to their chairs.

"Our study form this semester is roughly like this. The learning and use of spells will be alternated with group practice. At the end of the term, you will have another chance to fight me, and that battle will be included in your total exam score, accounting for 30.00% .” Marciana paused, and was satisfied to find that many students had smug expressions in their eyes.She continued, "At the end of the term, 30% theory, 40% spell practice, and 30% battle. You will learn various offensive and defensive methods this year. I sincerely hope that in the final battle, you can see more Wonderful performance. Today's homework is a paper, please summarize the tactics and strategies commonly used in wizard battles, the following is the recommended reading list," she waved her wand, and a few more lines appeared on the blackboard, and everyone began to copy . "In addition, please preview the Freezing Curse and Binding Curse. We will learn how to use these two spells in the next class. Alright, get out of class is over."

Leaning against the wall, she repaired the damaged ceiling and podium while watching the shining eyes and excited expressions of the students.This class, she thought, probably went well, right?
