Ancient wizards return to Hogwarts

After Divination, it was Hufflepuff Defense Against the Dark Arts.

When Rice walked into the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom, he found Hufflepuff already waiting for the students to arrive.

"Oh, Mr. Lint, Miss Greengrass!" Hufflepuff smiled when he saw that the first person to enter the classroom was an acquaintance of his.

"Come, sit here." Looking at Les walking towards the corner of the classroom, Helga said decisively, motioning for them to sit directly opposite the podium.

"If you don't want to, then I will set up a position on the left and right of the podium, one for you and one for the right, just right." Hufflepuff's eyes were full of kindness, but the words coming out of his mouth made Les shudder.

Les had a bad feeling: Hufflepuff must be up to no good! Otherwise, why would you sit at the front?

He silently cheered up and secretly prepared himself.

Students came to the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom one after another. Due to Hufflepuff's amazing performance at the opening party, the students were all very curious about the professor, so they came enthusiastically, and no one was late - the classroom was already seated five minutes before leaving class. full.

What's interesting is that the people who come are not only the students on the classroom roster, but also some young wizards who don't have classes. They can't wait to hear about Professor White's Defense Against the Dark Arts. Calling Les to the front row seemed a little unnecessary, because enthusiastic students had already filled all the seats.

Who could say no to a professor from hundreds of years ago? And she can also turn it into drinks for everyone to drink.

Hufflepuff glanced at the crowd of heads in the audience and gave up the idea of ​​naming them. After the bell rang, she started teaching directly.

"Introduce yourself." Hufflepuff wrote his pseudonym on the blackboard behind him: "I am Smith White, the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. You should all know me."

The students nodded. After all, they all drank the drinks provided by Professor White.

"I am a person from hundreds of years ago. At first I thought Professor Dumbledore would give me a job as a kitchen chef, but instead I became the Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts - Principal Dumbledore Seems a bit hungry.”

The students in the audience all laughed.

"It's true, because I really don't understand what Defense Against the Dark Arts is. Can anyone tell me its definition?"

The students provided Hufflepuff with the definition of Defense Against the Dark Arts. This is the most basic knowledge, and the answer can be found even by just looking at the textbook.

Defense Against the Dark Arts is a discipline that teaches students how to resist various types of dark magic, including creatures, spells, and duels.

"That's it." Hufflepuff showed a somewhat exaggerated expression of realization.

"Then who can explain to me what dark magic is?" Hufflepuff turned his attention to Les, who was sitting directly opposite him.

"It's up to you, Mr. Lint, please help me explain what black magic is."

Les:…

Helga Hufflepuff, you did it on purpose!

Let yourself explain what dark magic is, Hufflepuff, you really don't mind watching the fun, but this is exactly what I want.

Rice carefully assessed the risks and felt that Hogwarts would not expel him for his words, so he stood up decisively.

Hufflepuff: Hey hey hey.

Les: Am I going to speak?

Hufflepuff: Just ask.

After some eye contact with Helga, Les spoke.

Before Rice spoke, the students in the classroom thought this was a scoring question because there was a standard definition of black magic. But of course Les wouldn't answer that way.

"Dark magic is a branch of magic."

This sentence, which sounded like nonsense, made nearly half of the students look up at Rice: There is something in his words!

"If I had to define it, it would be magic that can cause huge or irreversible damage to a person's body and mind."

As soon as these words came out, the other half of the students also raised their heads: Rice's definition of black magic seems to be different from the mainstream view...

Hufflepuff showed an expression that she knew you would say this, and she continued the topic like a compliment: "Then do you think we should study dark magic?"

There is actually only one answer to this question in the current magical world, and that is no. This is the same thing as political correctness, but Les is not a person who will be kidnapped by political correctness.

He stood up straight and replied loudly: "Of course I have to learn."

Students from other colleges:…

Slytherin House students:?

Almost everyone was shocked by Les. Students outside Slytherin House thought Les was crazy? Are you actually advocating learning black magic in public? The students of Slytherin College thought: Brother, shouldn’t we talk about this behind closed doors in the lounge of our own college? Even if some things are right, you shouldn’t say them everywhere!

What shocked everyone even more happened. Professor White, who had listened to Rice's remarks completely, didn't say a word in rebuttal. It seemed like he acquiesced to Rice's words? !

"Tell me why." The smile on Hufflepuff's face did not diminish at all, but actually increased.

"Because if you want to compete with black magic, you must understand black magic. More importantly, many black magics are very powerful. If we are restrained because of the name of black magic, how can we compete with the dark wizards who are familiar with black magic? ? During the Wizarding War more than ten years ago, the Ministry of Magic authorized Aurors to use the Unforgivable Curse. This is ironclad evidence that if we want to compete with dark wizards, we must know black magic better than them. "

Les didn't mind the bad reputation of black magic at all. In his opinion, it was a kind of magic. Except for a few spells that distorted the character, whether other black magic spells were evil or not depended entirely on the character of the user.

Aurors will use black magic to kill dark wizards. Are they evil if they use black magic? Black magic is a kind of weapon, and you should not stop eating it just because it is too lethal or too cruel.

The classroom suddenly became silent. The students were all thinking about what Les said. The education they had received from childhood told them that they should stand up and refute Les at this moment. But Les thought about what Les said carefully, and it seemed to make sense. ?

Hufflepuff applauded Rice twice with satisfaction.

This was what she wanted to say through Les's mouth. After an in-depth understanding of today's wizarding world, she felt that modern wizards seemed to be overreaching.

Not studying black magic in depth doesn’t mean shelving it on the shelf!

You still have to learn black magic, otherwise how will you know how to deal with it?
