Chapter 582 Are You Sure You Want to Copy My Homework?

Moody obviously ignored Ron's nonsense. After glancing at him, he hurried away on his wooden legs.

Ron slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and then felt that the fear he had just shown was very shameful, so he suppressed his voice and explained to Harry and others.

Ivan stared at Moody's retreating back, and suddenly remembered that Moody's self-revealed teaching time in the previous class was exactly one year, which was consistent with the curse set by Voldemort.

Is it a coincidence?

Or maybe Dumbledore wanted to see if he could avoid Voldemort's curse on the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.

After all, the biggest function of this curse is to prevent each professor from teaching for more than one year. All kinds of accidents are just derivatives of achieving this goal.

If Moody himself had left a year later, maybe the curse wouldn't have been so directed at him.

If this is the case, maybe Moody can leave this position as safely as Lupine.

In the next few weeks, nothing happened in the castle, and Harry completely forgot about the scene in the dream, because he was overwhelmed by the large number of heavy classes.

Especially Moody's Defense Against the Dark Arts class!

This legendary old Auror divided each class into two parts. First, he would explain some protection techniques for dark magic or commonly used offensive magic, and then there would be exciting practical exercises.

The selected students were asked by Moody to follow the methods given in the class to break the spell he cast himself. If someone performed badly, he would be merciless and would scold them.

Even so, Moody's courses are popular.

After all, there are too few courses that allow for hands-on combat, not to mention that they can often learn many useful protection techniques from Defense Against the Dark Arts classes.

What makes all the little wizards a headache is that Moody will leave a lot of homework before get out of class, usually asking them to give self-defense methods in certain situations.

But I couldn't just write randomly, because Moody would randomly select people in class and practice on the spot to test the feasibility of this method.

For example, during an after-school assignment that discussed how to defend against the Tarantella spell, Simo suddenly thought that he could roll away first, then quickly sprint in front of the opponent and break the opponent's nose with a punch. The effect of defeating the enemy.

However, during the actual combat exercise, Seamus was hit by Moody's spell before he could roll over. He ended up tap dancing for most of the class and almost broke his leg.

So much so that when taking Defense Against the Dark Arts classes, everyone is always in a cycle of fearing that they will be called out and looking forward to seeing others having fun.

"So how should we deal with the disarming spell and the many obstacles to casting it? But I already wrote about this last time. Or should I find a bunker? Hide under the table? Oh my God, what if Professor Moody clicks on me this time? "

In the morning, in the Gryffindor lounge, Ron cried out as he watched the homework collapse, especially since Moody didn't allow them to write similar defense methods too frequently.

"Ivan, can you show us how you wrote it?" Harry also had a headache and turned around to refer to Ivan's answer.

"Are you sure you want to copy my homework?" Ivan said with a strange expression and pushed the homework book over.

Harry and Ron immediately came over to take a look, and their expressions suddenly became very embarrassed. It read casually, "We should cast the disarming spell faster to counter the opponent." 】

"Is this okay?" Harry looked at Ivan speechlessly.

"When did my method fail?" Ivan shrugged and covered his homework book, preparing to hand it in tomorrow.

Harry and Ron looked at each other, and finally sighed in distress. This was the reason why they collapsed every time. They simply couldn't copy the resistance methods Ivan wrote, and they couldn't copy them even if they wanted to.

At first, to save trouble, Ivan even only had the Iron Armor Curse in his list of countermeasures, so he wrote this down every time.

It wasn't until Moody couldn't bear it anymore and ordered them not to write the same thing every time that Ivan gave up on this magical defensive spell. And because he didn't want to waste his brain, the answers he gave became more and more nonsense.

For example, if you encounter an attack by a dark wizard, you should subdue it as soon as possible and send it to Azkaban.

If you kill the opponent in advance, you can effectively eliminate the threat posed by the opponent, etc.

Not to mention that they thought it was nonsense, even Moody thought so, but after trying it out in class, Moody had to admit that Ivan's methods were very effective.

So much so that in the recent Defense Against the Dark Arts class, Moody simply asked Ivan to be his assistant and use offensive magic to test others.

Unable to get help from Ivan, Harry and Ron had no choice but to turn to Hermione for help. However, the little witch didn't give them any face at all. She closed the homework book with a swipe and stared at them.

"You should think of your own solution. Professor Moody said in class that we can't expect others to protect us!"

The two of them were completely at a loss, so they had to lower their heads and think hard.

Looking at Harry and Ron who were distressed, Ivan shook his head secretly. With such a good teacher as Moody, they both didn't study hard. They were really hopeless!

If you look at the growth of the students, Moody is definitely the most competent Defense Against the Dark Arts professor he has ever seen, even surpassing Lupine!

After all, Moody is more strict and acts vigorously and resolutely, almost forcing the students to grow up quickly.

If you learn like this for a whole year, not to mention how good a warrior you will become, but at least you will not be at a loss when encountering unexpected situations, and you will be able to have a certain ability to protect yourself.

Of course, Moody's radicalness was probably related to Dumbledore's secret instructions.

The only thing that surprised Ivan was that Moody didn't call everyone to test whether they could resist the Imperius Curse in the past few days.

But it makes sense to think about it, it should be a little test specially designed by Barty Crouch Jr. for Harry, so as to find out how special Harry is and how he can defeat the Unforgivable Curse.

It took more than half an hour for Ron and Harry to finally finish Moody's homework, and then they went to the Great Hall to prepare for lunch.

When they walked to the foyer, they were surprised to find a large group of students blocking the door, squeezing around a large notice erected at the foot of the marble stairs.

"What happened?" Ron asked curiously.

Ivan squeezed in and took a few glances. There was a notice posted on the wall, which stated matters about the Triwizard Tournament. It mentioned that representatives of Beauxbatons and Durmstrang would compete on October 10. Arrive at 6pm on Friday, September 30th.

(PS: Chapter 2 will be a little later, around 11 o'clock.)
