"But I couldn't keep it up. When I found out that he became the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, I thought I was going crazy—how dare he... He clearly knew what it meant!" As soon as Jane thought of this, her chest burst into tears. There was unspeakable pain.She closed her eyes tightly and didn't dare to open them, she was afraid that if she opened them, she would pour out too much unnecessary emotion and vulnerability, "He didn't inform me in advance of any decision, and he didn't think about whether I would Driven mad by him! He's a villain! Hermione, he's a bastard!"

Hermione looked at Jane sadly, and she found that she couldn't help her at all: "Don't say that, I think you have already talked to him."

"No, no." Jane shook her head, "There is no one in the office, I waited at the door for a while."

Hermione wanted to say that maybe Snape didn't want to see her so he didn't open the door, but she thought it would be too cruel to Jane if she said that, so she kept silent and just comforted her: "Maybe things are not It's going to be as bad as we think, with Dumbledore after all—"

"Dumbledore can't even protect himself!" Jane suddenly opened her eyes and said angrily.

Hermione seemed taken aback by Jane's words, she breathed a sigh of relief: "What are you talking about!"

"Didn't you see his hand?" Jane suppressed the sadness in her eyes, and said coldly, "His hand has decayed, and it can't be revived unless—" Raphael's power, this The words twirled on the tip of Jane's tongue, but she didn't say it, "Unless Merlin is alive."

"No, it's impossible, Dumbledore is the most powerful wizard!" Hermione seemed to not believe Jane's words at all, and she covered her mouth in disbelief.

"But he is also a person, not a god." Jane spoke in a particularly indifferent tone, "It's nothing surprising." But immediately, she frowned tightly, "Maybe this is why Snape became a black man." The reason is taught in the Magic Defense class.”

Faintly, Jane had an illusion that a storm was coming.

Hermione didn't speak anymore, or it should be more appropriate to say that she didn't know what she should say.What Jane told her has exceeded her expectations, and the wording she originally wanted to ask about the relationship between Jane and Snape has been beaten to the limit.

This night, whether it was Jane or Hermione, was destined to be a sleepless night.Back in the dormitory, lying on the bed, the two of them stayed up until dawn before barely falling asleep for a while.But Jane felt that her eyes just closed, and Susan woke her up.

Jane changed her clothes in a daze, washed her face with cold water to wake herself up, and then she and Hermione, who also lacked sleep, came to the auditorium.Harry and Ron were already sitting there eating breakfast by this time, with a class list in front of them, and Professor McGonagall was there.When she saw Hermione and Jane, she gave them the timetable as well.

Taking out the quill, Jane ticked Transfiguration, Potions, Muggle Studies, Ancient Mageweaves, Charms, Herbalism, and Defense Against the Dark Arts.The subjects she chose were basically the same as her last year's subjects. When Professor McGonagall took her timetable, she didn't say much, but she chose potions between Harry and Ron's legs when they handed in the timetable.Although Harry and Ron were reluctant, they finally compromised.

The first class in the morning was Snape's Defense Against the Dark Arts class. Jane packed up her things and braced herself to follow Harry and the others to the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom.Hermione had been by her side the whole time.

Because they came earlier, the doors of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class hadn't been opened yet.Jane remembered that there was no answer when she knocked on the door last night, and she didn't see Snape on the teaching desk this morning. At this moment, she doubted whether Snape would show up for this class on time.

Just as she was beating drums in her heart, the originally noisy voice suddenly quieted down.Snape walked towards them from a distance, with two pieces of greasy black hair hanging on both sides of his sallow cheeks, his expression looked extraordinarily gloomy and serious.Without looking at Jane, who was standing beside Harry, he walked past her and opened the door of the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom.Opening the classroom door, he stood there and said to them, "Come in."

Jane followed the students into the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom, and found that Snape had branded his own personality traits in this classroom.The curtains were drawn tightly, and the light was dimmer than usual with only the dim light from the candles.There were previously unseen drawings on the walls, many of people in pain, grisly wounds and bizarrely twisted body parts.After the students sat down, no one spoke, and all turned their heads to look at the eerie pictures on the wall.It felt as eerie as the potions classroom he used to be, except that there were a lot less jars with various specimens.

"I haven't asked you to take out your books yet." Snape said, closing the classroom door, and walked to the back of the podium to face the whole class.Hermione hurriedly tossed her copy of Encountering the Faceless Monster back into her bag and stuffed it under the chair. "I have something to tell you, and I hope you will pay close attention." His black eyes swept across the upturned faces, and when he looked at Jane, his eyes swept away without stopping. "I'm sure you've had about five teachers on this course so far. Needless to say, each of these teachers has their own teaching style and focus. I'm amazed at how many of you there are in this chaotic situation." Also narrowly passed the OWLs for this course. I would be even more surprised if you could all keep up with the advanced class because it's much more advanced."

Snape stepped off the podium and walked around the room, speaking in a lower voice.

"Dark magic," said Snape, "is of all kinds and variety and variety and endless variety. Wrestling with them is like fighting a monster with many heads, where a new head pops up immediately after one head is cut off." , more vicious and cunning than the original one. You are dealing with something unpredictable and indestructible. Therefore, your defenses," Snape said, raising his voice slightly, "must also be as you need to deal with It is as flexible and innovative as the dark magic of the world. The drawings," he pointed to a few as he walked, "illustrate the victims of, say, the Cruciatus Curse," and he waved his finger at the wall. Looking at a picture on his face of a witch who was clearly screaming in pain, he continued, "Feeling the kiss of a dementor," and his finger changed direction again, pointing at a man curled up in a corner. witch, "or be invaded by a ghost corpse."

"So, have people actually seen an Inferi?" Parvati asked.Patil asked in a thin voice, "Is he really using the Inferi?"

"The Dark Lord has used Inferi in the past," said Snape, "which means we should assume he'll use them again. Well..." He walked around to the other side of the room again, his black robes Swinging behind him, the eyes of the whole class followed him again, "...I think you are still very new to the use of silent spells. What are the benefits of silent spells?"

Jane and Hermione raised their hands simultaneously.

Snape didn't even look at Jane, and after making sure that they were the only ones in the classroom raising their hands, he said bluntly, "Very well—Miss Granger?"
