Chapter 517: Moody's First Lesson
The next morning, the storm that had lasted the whole day died down, but the ceiling of the auditorium was still clouded with gloom.
When Aiwen and Colin came to the auditorium, there were large groups of thick blue-gray clouds rolling over their heads.
Harry, Ron and Hermione were eating breakfast and studying their timetable for this term.
Of course, Hermione was the one talking, and Harry and Ron were listening.
Not far away, Fred, George, and Lee Jordan were a few seats away from them.
The three are discussing what magical spells they can use to make themselves older, and then get away with it and participate in the Triwizard Tournament.
In fact, the whole auditorium was full of little wizards discussing the topic.
Those senior wizards who matched their age were all secretly happy, and everyone had a good feeling that they were about to become warriors.
"Good morning, Ivan, Colin, I just saw your schedule from Hermione, it's really good!" Harry said, beckoning Ivan and Colin to sit down, "The first period is Mad Eye Han's class, that must be great."
"Yeah, our class schedule is a little bit off!" Ron slid his finger over the Monday column on the timetable, "Look at this morning, herbalism class, with Hufflepuff students, protection Fantastic Creatures class... unlucky, with Slytherin again!"
"There are two divination classes this afternoon." Harry lowered his head and sighed.
You know, Divination is his least favorite subject besides Potions.
Professor Trelawney was always predicting Harry's imminent death, which troubled him especially.
"There's no Defense Against the Dark Arts class until Friday afternoon, and a whole morning after Potions class." Ron continued to read, "This is really bad enough, why can't we be like third year?" Put this class on Monday?!"
Harry also nodded, agreeing with Ron's words very much.
If they knew that Moody was planning to use black magic such as the Unforgivable Curse on the students, they wondered if they would have expected that.
"Aiwen, this is your class schedule. I marked the courses on it with magic, and it will automatically remind you." Hermione handed him the class schedule, "This way you won't be bored because of reading in the library." Fascinated, forgetting the time and being late."
"Thank you!" Ivan stuffed the schedule into his schoolbag.
Compared with last semester, he also has many more courses this year.
He took divination courses, protection of magical creatures and ancient rune courses, and Colin chose the same as him.
"Hermione, I see you're eating again!" said Ron, watching Hermione spread jam on his own bread.
"I've figured it out. There is a better way to express my position on the rights of elves." Hermione said proudly.
"Yeah, and you're starving too," said Ron, grinning.
In any case, it was a good thing that Hermione was able to take the initiative to eat.
Otherwise, Ivan would pay more than preparing food for the two of them alone.
A moment later, while they were discussing what animal Hagrid would show everyone in this year's Care of Fantastic Creatures class, Hedwig flew into the Great Hall with a rain of owls, Sirius' package.
He gave Harry and everyone a lot of sweets, which made Harry look very happy.
On the first day of school, the owl will bring many things from the little wizard's house that they forgot to bring to Hogwarts.
Over time, this has become a school tradition, from owl mail inside the home.
It was the first time Harry had received a package at this time, and it made him feel at home.
After eating morning and evening, several of them went to different classes separately.
Harry, Ron, and Hermione are going to take herbal medicine lessons in the greenhouse outside, while Ivan and Colin are going to the Defense Against the Dark Arts class on the third floor to teach.
When the two of them arrived, they found that the classroom was already full of people.
Everyone was in high spirits and looked forward to Moody's course, which was the first time in several years.
Ginny had already arrived, and she gave them two seats directly in front of the podium, and they hurried over to sit down.
In the classroom, the atmosphere was extremely quiet, and everyone took out their "Dark Power: Self-Defense Guide" and waited.
Soon, they heard Moody's characteristic thumping footsteps coming down the corridor.
He entered the classroom, looking as odd and frightening as ever.
Everyone can just see that his claw-like wooden foot is protruding from under the robe.
"Put these things away." He said gruffly, walking to the edge of the podium with crutches and sat down, "You don't need these textbooks, I don't need these things in class, take them Bring out your wands."
The little wizards put the books in their schoolbags, and they all looked extremely excited.
According to past experience, getting out the wand means that this class will be very interesting.
Seconds later, Moody pulled out the roster.
He shook his head, brushing his long gray hair away from his twisted, scarred face, and began to call names.
His normal eyes moved down the list, and his magical eyes kept turning around, staring at each student who answered.
"Okay!" When the last student finished answering, he said, "I received a letter from your former teacher, and I have some understanding of your current progress. Although you have accumulated a certain foundation in dealing with dark creatures, you still have a lot to do. Lack of actual combat experience, no experience of real black magic, this is the most important thing."
The magic eye turned quickly, and Moody reworked what he said to Ivan last night.
He told everyone to always be prepared and stay vigilant.
"Very well, does any of you know which spells, for the use of which, will subject a wizard to the harshest punishment from the Ministry of Magic?"
Ivan sighed, and it really came, this guy is really going to use the Unforgivable Curse in class.
No one answered in class, and the little wizards seemed horrified by Moody's theory.
They looked at each other uneasily, and finally focused their eyes on Ivan, expecting him to answer this question.
"Mason, you answer!" Moody said, and after confirming that no one answered, he called Ivan's name directly.
"Professor, the Ministry of Magic prohibits wizards from using a lot of spells. There are probably tens of thousands of legal documents that are still being enforced. The time can be traced back to thousands of years ago, and there are tens of thousands of spells involved." Ai Wen He replied, "The specific content is unknown, but once the use of these curses is discovered, they will be severely punished by the Ministry of Magic. I have made a simple classification of these black magic spells, which can be roughly divided into curses and souls." , undead, demons, spirits, blood, and magic that directly illegally transforms the body and magical animals, of course, this is not all, and..."
There was no sound in the classroom, everyone looked at Ivan in surprise, his mouth was wide enough to swallow an egg. (To be continued.)
