Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 91 Benefited a lot

   For students living in Hogwarts, the weekend is undoubtedly a good day.

On weekends, you don’t have to worry about being late for class, and you can sleep until you wake up naturally. After waking up, you don’t need to think about the problems you will encounter in class. You can have a good time and relax the pressure accumulated in the week. Allow students to take a break from their busy study life.

  Early in the morning, the beds of the Weasley brothers were already vacant, and the two got up early and went out, planning to plant garlic in a sunny open area at the edge of the Forbidden Forest.

   This is the location they took a lot of effort to find. It is sparsely populated and there is no need to worry about being discovered.

  To be honest, Albert really couldn't understand what Fred and George were thinking. Was it really to make that ridiculous amulet that they spent all their time and energy growing garlic?

Maybe!

  Anyway, the two of them have clear minds, and it is not strange to do anything.

  Before Albert finished his breakfast, Fred and George had already returned. Their robes and hands were stained with dirt. After rushing to the bathroom to wash off, they chatted with him about growing garlic.

  Listening to the two chattering, Albert actually wanted to complain a long time ago. Did they not have the concept of planting garlic in flowerpots?

   Declining Lee Jordan's invitation to go to the Quidditch field for training, Albert reached out and knocked on the wooden door of the Defense Against the Dark Arts office on the second floor of the castle as soon as the clock on his pocket watch reached ten o'clock.

   By the way, the last time I entered Professor McGonagall's office, did I tear down the wooden door of the other's office?

   At that time, the few of them were not punished by Professor McGonagall. It’s a bit unbelievable to think about it now!

  The wooden door was opened from the inside. Professor Bud Broad looked at Albert standing outside the door, and invited him into his office with a smile: "It's just ten o'clock, and you came on time!"

"I hope I didn't disturb you." Albert walked into Professor Brod's office and looked at this extremely comfortable room. There were several soft sofas in it, a bronze-colored carpet was laid under his feet, and the walls were neatly lined. There are several bookshelves lying on the ground, and the bookshelves are filled with all kinds of books, and the number must be over a hundred. Blue silk curtains hung around the windows, which looked down onto the castle yard. Now, some students are walking, chatting, and enjoying the sun in the yard.

   "What do you want to drink?" Brod asked.

   "Milk tea." Albert asked curiously: "Professor, may I ask, did you graduate from Ravenclaw?"

"Yes, it's not difficult to guess, right." Brod blinked at Albert, he raised his wand, and tapped the empty teacup in front of the two of them, and the cup immediately exuded the aroma of milk tea .

   Albert put some sugar in his milk tea and stirred it slowly with a spoon. After a while, he picked up his teacup and took a sip, "I heard that Ravenclaw's eagle-shaped bronze door knocker is very interesting."

   "Yes." Professor Broad nodded, "As long as you can answer the question on the eagle-shaped bronze door knocker, the Ravenclaw common room will be open for you."

  Albert smiled without saying a word, shaking his head imperceptibly.

  Although Professor Broad said so, he didn't think Ravenclaw students would welcome a stranger into their common room.

   People are always xenophobic, and if there are students from other houses running into the Gryffindor common room, the result is not hard to guess.

  Professor Broad pointed to the dessert on the table and said, "Pumpkin pie just out of the oven, maybe you will like it."

"I also like pumpkin pie, it tastes great when it's hot!" Albert took a piece of pumpkin pie and talked about the book he had read a while ago: "By the way, professor, I just read it. After finishing Simple Alchemy, that book felt to me... very special."

  He organized his vocabulary a bit, hesitated for a moment before continuing: "It's hard to imagine that the thing described in that book is the so-called alchemy, do you know about it?"

"I don't want to pretend to be an expert in alchemy. On the contrary, my knowledge of alchemy is limited to book knowledge." Professor Brod shook his head and said, "I don't think you came here today to discuss with me. Alchemy thing, right?"

  Albert knew that it was time to end the topic of alchemy, so he brought the topic to "Dark Power: Self-Defense Guide", chatted about some of his doubts about reading this book, and talked about the spells described in the book by the way.

"I'm glad you talked about this topic." Professor Brod said happily: "Yes, that's right, as you can see, there are really not many useful defensive monsters recorded in "Dark Forces: A Guide to Self-Defense" Curse, but do you know why this book is a must for Defense Against the Dark Arts?"

   "I know." Albert nodded: "This book can help us recognize the dark creatures that exist in this world, and teach everyone how to deal with these dark creatures."

"Yes, you are right. In fact, this book is really not enough for a gifted student like you." Professor Brod put down his teacup and said, "However, the Ministry of Magic doesn't like to expose students to talented students." Moderately aggressive spell."

   "Yes, it's not hard to see." Albert picked up another piece of pumpkin pie, took a bite, and continued, "If I want to learn more about Defense Against the Dark Arts, I don't know if you have any good suggestions."

"I recommend you to read the book "Practical Defensive Magic and Its Restraint to Black Magic." Professor Brod took a book from the shelf and handed it to Albert, saying, "However, the content of this set of books The price is a bit expensive, and there is no collection in the school library, if you want to see it, I can borrow it for you."

"Oh, what a coincidence, I just bought this set of books. I think the Iron Armor Curse and the Disarming Charm are very useful." Albert hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe his greasy palms, and took the handkerchief from Professor Broad. The book that came over, "Of course, the Stunning Curse and Obstacle Curse are also good. Unfortunately, I don't know much about how to solve the spell."

"No, Mr. Anderson, it's amazing that you can master so many spells in a short period of time." The surprise in Professor Brod's eyes flashed away, and he asked with a smile, "I heard that McGonagall The professor is very optimistic about your accomplishments in the Transfiguration Curse."

"I think my talent in magic is not bad, and I have been practicing magic well, so the speed will not be too slow." Albert thought for a while and said, "There is no harm in learning more. come in handy."

"Greed for knowledge is not a fault." Professor Broad suddenly showed an exaggerated expression, "Merlin's beard, to be honest, you are more like Ravenclaw than Ravenclaw, the Sorting Hat will definitely let you choose Bar!"

"Yes, the Sorting Hat thinks that I am suitable for other colleges except Slytherin." Albert blinked and said: "Actually, I have no special prejudice against other colleges, but because I met the current college on the train friend, so I chose to go to Gryffindor."

   "Yes, yes, it is a good thing to be unbiased, and it is difficult for many people to do this." Professor Broad showed an appreciative smile in his eyes.

"Someday, after you finish studying "Practical Defense against Magic and Its Restraint against Dark Arts", your level of defense against black arts will reach the level of O.W.L." Professor Brod said regretfully to Ai Bo Te said: "Because this class was cursed by a certain wizard, the obviously important Defense Against the Dark Arts class has become dispensable. Most students are not very good at this aspect."

   "Professor, is the person who cursed the Defense Against the Dark Arts class still alive?"

   "I'm afraid so." Professor Brod nodded and said, "Otherwise, Dumbledore would try his best to lift the curse. After all, it is quite hard to find a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor every year."

"I heard from my roommate that there is a profession called Auror in the Ministry of Magic. They are all experts in defense against the dark arts. Why didn't Principal Dumbledore invite Auror to teach students?" Albert asked curiously road.

To be honest, this is also Albert's doubt in his previous life. Retired Aurors are undoubtedly very suitable to become Defense Against the Dark Arts professors. They have a wealth of experience, and they only need a little bit of experience to impart, which can benefit the students of the school a lot .

   "Many people are afraid." Professor Broad blinked, and Albert dared to pat his chest to assure that he saw the contempt in Professor Broad's eyes at the moment just now.

"Fear?"

"They think this profession is unlucky and are afraid of curses. There are very few professors who leave this position safely." Professor Brod did not worry about his safety because of his position at all, "Moreover, the Ministry of Magic actually I don’t really want to see that happen.”

   "Professor, I have another question." Albert said again.

"what is the problem."

"Has Principal Dumbledore thought about...stopping the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, choosing a new class, or changing the name of this class." Albert said his thoughts in his previous life, since Voldemort cast a curse on the Defense Against the Dark Arts class , as long as this class disappears, the curse may also disappear together.

  As for the name of the class, it can be changed to a new one, called defense class, self-defense class or something, it’s just a name.

  Professor Broad smiled happily, as if he had heard something interesting.

"You make a lot of sense. Defense Against the Dark Arts is just a name after all, and it's not impossible to discard it when necessary." Professor Brod nodded in agreement with Albert, "I think Dumbledore should have thought about this too. But the wizard who cursed Defense Against the Dark Arts isn't dead yet, and after dropping the name, maybe he'll put a curse on the new class."

   Although this explanation is reasonable, Albert thinks it is an excuse. However, he didn't ask any more questions, and ended the topic.

"If you have learned the spells on "Practical Defense Magic and Its Restraint to Black Magic", you can borrow "Defense and Deterrence Spells" from the library. This book introduces many powerful defensive spells, which should satisfy your needs. You." Professor Brod continued, "However, there are some things you need to know. What you see is only the surface of magic. Changes. A powerful spell does not mean everything, sometimes a small spell can easily solve a problem."

While Albert was still thinking about the meaning of this sentence, he heard Professor Broad say, "Okay, it's time for lunch, you'd better not miss it, I'm very happy to chat with you, most of the students are very interested in the professor In awe, it's hard to sit down and talk like you and I do."

   "I have also benefited a lot, and I look forward to the next chat." Albert nodded slightly to Professor Broad, and turned to leave the Defense Against the Dark Arts office.

   It's on the shelves, half a month earlier than expected. However, after the strong push, I already had a hunch.

   Just forget about the monthly pass, if you think the book is okay, you can subscribe, anyway, you won’t get pregnant.
