Chapter 653 Exciting Defense Class

Among the courses at Hogwarts, if it is said that the most anticipated by the freshmen, it is naturally the Defense Against the Dark Arts class. No matter how popular the topic of Maca is in the school, it will not change the fact that Ancient Runes is an elective course. If freshmen want to see Maca in class, they have to wait until the third grade Just do it!

Of course, since Snape took over the defense class, this course that has attracted the attention of students has always been in an awkward psychological position.

Anyone who said that Snape wasn't teaching well enough must be biased. Because no matter who it is, any student who has taken his defense class will quickly notice his own progress, and this is almost without exception.

But even if everyone can feel the benefits brought by Snape's defense class, for the thing of "being frightened several times in class every day", I am afraid that anyone who changes it will complain. Because of this, everyone can say that Defense Against the Dark Arts class is mixed, and it is a tangled state of "destruction" in the mouth and "reputation" in the heart.

So, since those old students who have experienced the dark age have such a mentality about it...then, the freshmen who just entered this year will naturally feel that it is abnormally bad.

Before lunch this morning, Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw first-year students participated in the third Defense Against the Dark Arts class this school year. In fact, many students started to sigh when they saw the classroom door.

During the first two classes, they were forced by Snape to stay with a bunch of ghouls for two whole class hours, doing nothing else.

Yes, in fact, quite a few young wizards from wizarding families know to some extent that ghouls are basically not dangerous. But I know that I know that if they are really allowed to have close contact with nearly thirty ghouls without any cover, the feeling will be really disgusting!

No, speaking of it, the number of students who vomited on the spot in those two classes has already exceeded single digits, and the number of students who went to the bathroom to vomit happily after class may have exceeded the 30 mark.

On this point, Snape's original words are as follows:

"Before you start formally learning Defense Against the Dark Arts, what you need is to abandon your cowardly thoughts. If you can't even bear this level, what else can you use to face black magic? Don't you still expect those vicious Would hot dark wizards or dark magic creatures be afraid of your vomit?"

His words seemed to be slapping the students' faces with every word and every sentence, especially the last sentence-because in class, those disgusting ghouls bared their yellow teeth and slowly licked their mouths. The scene of vomit was seen by everyone.

to this end,

Several little wizards couldn't help but contributed more steaming "food".

"I don't know what that old bat is thinking! I've had enough..."

The one who said this in the corridor at the moment was a new friend of Alexander's in Gryffindor. As for the nickname "Old Bat", of course it was heard from those Gryffindor seniors.

"Oh, yes..." Alexander rubbed his stomach, "If we still stare at those ghouls for the whole class today, I think I may have to say goodbye to today's lunch!"

It's not that Alexander is not brave enough. Judging from everyone's performance in the first two classes, he is already considered good. If you want to blame, you can only blame those ghouls. Not only does it look like a half-melted human being, but even the smell on them stimulates the nostrils of the little wizards all the time.

"I went to the library to check the information yesterday evening," Alexander sighed, "Professor Snape must have brought the crypt ghouls found in caves with underground water, not those who live in the valley. Ordinary goods in warehouses or other people's houses...those guys really stink!"

"Really?" The other party waved his hand casually, "Smelly, let's stink! It's all good... I just want to end today's torture quickly!"

"Uh...that's right!" Alexander nodded helplessly, expressing his agreement, "Since this is the case, I think I'd better think about today's lunch while I still have an appetite! Even if I can't eat for a while Go down, at least for now-"

Before he finished speaking, with a soft "click", the classroom door just opened amidst the melodious ringing of the class bell.

"Hmph, are you all here... my vomit monsters?"

Still wearing his dark cloak, Snape looked around coldly, then turned and walked inside.

"Still figuring out how to feed those ghouls? Don't worry about it, I think... even the most capable house-elves can't keep up with the speed at which you're messing up the classroom!" He walked , while habitually squeezed, "Come in, speed up! Are you going to waste your class time in the corridor?"

When the newborn badger cubs and lion cubs entered the classroom carefully, they finally breathed a sigh of relief—those terrible ghouls were finally not waiting for them in the classroom!

Of course, the only one of the two houses who didn't change his face was Miss Sarah Hohenheim who was sorted into Ravenclaw. Whether it was the first two classes or now, she was the most composed student. Her calmness made Snape couldn't help but glance at him a few more times in the last class.

After Snape urged them to sit down again in a cold voice, this group of freshmen this school year began the formal teaching of Defense Against the Dark Arts.

"First of all, I don't expect you to understand what Defense Against the Dark Arts is, and what the Dark Arts are..." he said, "but, at least after the first two lessons, you may get a little I feel it."

"Yes, fear, nausea, panic, disgust..." Every time Snape uttered a word, he would tap on the tabletop of the podium, and the voice seemed to be knocking directly on the hearts of the students, "I don't care about you It doesn't matter what you have experienced in detail. I just want you to understand that when you need to use the knowledge you have learned in this course, what is the first thing you have to face?"

"Is it a terrible dark wizard? Or a cruel dark creature? Or some deadly black magic item?" He curled his lips and asked self-consciously, without any intention of asking the students to answer, "No, neither ——The first thing you have to face is your own fear and cowardice.”

If Maca had time to attend this class, he would have admired Snape's words.

As far as the personal use of Defense Against the Dark Arts, he would not feel that he was inferior to Snape now, but his understanding and teaching ability of this subject were definitely beyond his reach.

This point, compared with what he did in the training, is actually very clear - what he improved for the members was only "ability and skills"; and what Snape will teach the students is obviously even more "Comprehensive" stuff too.

"Now, take out your textbooks and copy the contents of the first chapter—" Snape said suddenly, "Don't be dumbfounded, didn't you hear what I said?"

After the students started to take out books, quill pens and other items from their schoolbags, he continued: "Then, every time I call a person's name, that person will come to the front—everyone has three minutes, After you go back, you are not allowed to tell others what you saw.”

After finishing speaking, Snape took out his wand and waved it casually, and a black curtain directly separated the classroom into two spaces. On one side are the desks and the little wizards, and on the other side are Snape and the podium...Of course, there is also the large open space in front of the podium.

"First, Logan Brown."

The first person to be called was a Gryffindor student. Under the mournful eyes of everyone, he pursed his lips and walked forward as if resigned to his fate. When he walked in front of the completely opaque curtain, he hesitated for a while, then opened the curtain and walked in.

"Go, open it!"

After Snape's order was uttered, the other young wizards outside the curtain heard a soft "creak", followed by the little boy's exclamation.

Just listening to the yelling with fear and the sound of kicking footsteps, the curtain was lifted quickly from inside, and a figure suddenly rushed out—it was less than 20 seconds after entering Logan Brown.

Since they couldn't see what happened, everyone was taken aback when Logan rushed back abruptly.

"Hey, what the hell happened..." A boy who was also a Gryffindor grabbed Logan and asked in the softest voice he could make.

However, Logan, who was still flustered, couldn't hear it clearly, but Snape, who was separated by a thick curtain, had already heard it.

"Didn't you hear what I said? Or, your memory is not as good as a ghoul?" He knocked on the podium again, "In that case, the second is you - Stewart Wilson .”

"Oh--"

The little lion whose name was called all at once stood up with a bitter face, and walked forward slowly.

It can be said that after seeing the miserable appearance of the first person when he entered and exited, no one thought of going behind the curtain now. But that "old bat" has already spoken, so why don't they go?

"...What are you in a daze for? I can't hear your writing!"

Snape's words made everyone bow their heads and copied the contents of the textbook helplessly.

To be honest, this book introducing all kinds of basic jinxes and dark magical creatures is actually quite interesting. If it is normal, they can hold it for a long time.

But now...
