Chapter 1362 Snape's Defense Against the Dark Arts Class
"The two of you are pretty laid back." Hermione glanced at them and said anxiously, "The ancient rune class is very difficult, I memorized everything, but I didn't understand more than half of the content, and the homework was also the same. Pile, one fifteen-inch article, two translations, and so many books to read before Wednesday!"
She gestured with her hand, extending from the left side of her body to Ivan. Those books were all pocketed by Ai Wen, otherwise the two of them would have to carry back the thick stack of books handed out in class like everyone else did. Judging by their expressions, they all looked abused.
"Bad luck!" said Ron lazily, yawning.
"It's nothing, what I'm worried about now is tomorrow's arithmetic and divination class..."
These words, Hermione and Ivan said the whole way.
From the ancient magic text class, we can see that the difficulty of the N.E.W.Ts class is much higher than before.
If you don't want to be left behind, you need to spend more after-school time on your studies.
Of course, giving up directly like Ron and choosing few courses is also a way.
Ron probably thought the same way, so what Hermione said did not get his sympathy at all, but gloated a little.
He had a leisurely morning, playing with a mace confiscated from a fourth grader.
"There's Defense Against the Dark Arts class in the afternoon, wait for it." Hermione said with a fan, "I dare say Snape will give us a lot of homework."
No one agreed with her words, and of course, no one would be foolish to refute her.
Ivan saw that Harry was holding a long list in his hand, and each name was marked with circles and marks.
"How did you two discuss it?" he asked, "About the trials, is there any result?"
After receiving the captain's badge, Harry internalized a few people, basically planning to keep the lineup from last term. But the students are very enthusiastic about Quidditch. The number of people who have signed up for the selection competition has already surpassed that of last semester, and many of them are here for Harry. The question now is, what should these people do?
"We met Katie Bell when we came back, and she suggested that we have tryouts, let everyone participate, and select strictly." Harry said, "She said that there used to be some very good teams, because the captain always let the familiar He played with his face, let his friends join the team, and ended up ruining a good team..."
Ron was a little uncomfortable, and he didn't have much confidence in trying again.
During the last selection, he was still at a loss and didn't know how to get here. Maybe it was because the broom was better, or maybe it was because of the situation in the school at that time, many students were not interested in joining the Quidditch team. In short, he is not fully sure about re-running the trials, and his performance has not been stable.
Sometimes it can be good, most of the time it can be bad.
But he couldn't refute it, because Katie's suggestion was very reasonable...
At lunch, Harry called together the team from last term for a meeting.
He said that he was going to organize the selection and that everyone had to participate in it. Everyone thought his decision was right.
Finally, tryouts are scheduled for this Saturday morning.
There are currently nearly forty people in attendance, and Harry plans to spend the whole day.
If it continues to increase, it may take two days.
Many people's minds have already flown to Quidditch, but the reality is that the first class in the afternoon of the sixth grade is Snape's Defense Against the Dark Arts, which is also the first class after he became the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts class.
Regarding Defense Against the Dark Arts this semester, the students were generally quite nervous, not knowing what he would teach. It is certain that it should not be as easy as before. During Lupin's teaching, Snape had previously served as a defense against the dark arts class, and the students more or less got a taste of his style.
Whether it's how a werewolf is identified in school, or Defense Against the Dark Arts is taught outside the textbook, or...
Snape always had his own ideas, he never followed the schedule of the book.
In fact, he had no textbook assigned at all this semester.
After lunch, the students who wanted to take Defense Against the Dark Arts lined up outside the classroom on the third floor in twos and threes.
This dimly lit hallway is filled with so many memories, not so good.
"Do you know? I now feel that it might be right not to choose Defense Against the Dark Arts like Ron did." Harry said, following Ivan and Hermione to the outside of the classroom, "I have a bad feeling."
"You mean, he's going to give us a bunch of homework?"
"No, I mean..."
Before Harry could finish speaking, the classroom door opened and Snape walked into the corridor.
He was the same as before, with greasy black hair parted from both sides, framing the sallow face, and the team immediately fell silent.
"Come in," he said.
The students lined up to enter the classroom, and the inside changed drastically.
Snape had branded his own personality into this classroom, the curtains were drawn tightly, the light was dimmer than usual with only the faint light of candles, and there were pictures on the walls that hadn't been seen before, many pictures It is full of people in pain, horrific wounds and bizarre twisted body parts.
Interesting, was Snape actually going to teach them the Dark Arts?
Because of these eerie pictures, the classroom was extraordinarily quiet, and the students silently found their seats and sat down.
"I have something to tell you, and I hope you will pay close attention." Snape walked to the center of the podium, his black eyes scanning the upturned faces, "You must be well aware that so far, this You must have changed eight teachers for this course. Needless to say, these teachers all have their own teaching methods and teaching priorities. In this chaotic situation, I am surprised that so many of you have barely passed this course. O.W.Ls in one class. I'd be more surprised if you all followed 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.
In order to be able to see him, the students stretched their necks one by one.
"Dark magic!" said Snape. "There are so many varieties, so many kinds, so many variations, so endless. Wrestling with them is like wrestling with a monster with many heads. No sooner has one head been cut off than a new one pops up." , more vicious and cunning than the original one. You are dealing with something unpredictable and indestructible."
This is really a novel explanation, Ivan has never heard of it before.
According to Snape, although he was saying that black magic is dangerous, everyone needs to pay more attention to it.
But his tone is full of love and admiration for black magic, encouraging everyone to understand and learn black magic. 8) For more exciting novels, welcome to visit our Reading Academy
