When it comes to classroom knowledge, most of the young wizards are sleepy, but when it comes to gossip, everyone is no longer sleepy.

Ron also added excitedly:"George and Freddy told me that the position of Defense Against the Dark Arts professor is unlucky!"

This class is taught by Ravenclaw and Gryffindor together, so he and Levin and others got together.

This kind of mysterious thing is the easiest to attract people's appetite. Steve immediately asked about it, and even the silly Neville came to listen.

Seeing that his news was so popular, Ron became proud:

"I've heard about it, too. It's said that this position is very evil. In the past thirty years, every Defense Against the Dark Arts professor has had an accident within a year, and no one has been able to teach for more than a year! Some even died in office. People say that this position is cursed by a mysterious person!"

When Ron was talking, the surroundings immediately became quiet. The little wizards who were chatting nearby shut up.

Levin looked around.

Wow, everyone was listening with their ears stretched out.

When they heard"The Mysterious Person" ,"、"die"、"The key words"curse" immediately sparked a big discussion.

Some people have already started betting on whether Quirrell can teach until next year.

Hermione obviously disagrees:"There is no mention of this in"Hogwarts - A History of the School"!"

Levin smiled and said:"Books can only be used as a reference. The content in the books may not be true. Even Newton's three laws of physics were later overturned."

He paused and analyzed:

"However, I think this is true, because in the past thirty years, the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts has indeed changed every year."

"You can find out about this kind of thing by just asking any senior student."

Levin was so sure that Hermione began to believe him and asked curiously,"Even Dumbledore can't lift this curse?""

"I'm afraid that's the case, otherwise Dumbledore would have solved this problem long ago. New professors are recruited every year. If you don't know, you would think Hogwarts has to eat a new professor every year!"

In fact, as far as Levin knows, this curse is more terrible than imagined.

The endings of those former Defense Against the Dark Arts professors were not very good.

Those who resigned voluntarily due to accidents were fine, but some unlucky ones were unable to teach due to various accidents, and there were also many who were directly admitted to St. Mungo's Hospital.

This directly led to the bad reputation of this position, and it was very difficult to recruit people.

But this is not the most terrifying thing.

After Harry Potter entered school, the terrible degree of this curse reached its peak: looking at the professors of Defense Against the Dark Arts who taught Harry Potter, except for Quirrell and Lockhart who died and went crazy during their teaching period, Lupin, Moody and Snape, the three teachers who"safely" survived their teaching period, also died in the seventh book...

Even Voldemort himself died!

Voldemort: I am afraid of myself when I curse people!

The only one who was slightly better was Umbridge the Pink Toad. She didn't die, but went to Azkaban.

……

After the class, Professor Quirrell really disappointed the young wizards.

As the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, Quirinus Quirrell had no dignity of a professor at all. He looked wretched, with a ridiculous purple turban on his head, and smelled of garlic all over his body. He even stuttered when he spoke:

"Hello everyone, I am the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, Quirrell.……"

According to Levin's understanding of him, Quirrell was not teaching at Hogwarts for the first time.

He was also a good Ravenclaw graduate who taught Muggle Studies at Hogwarts, but his dream was to become a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts.

His theoretical knowledge was very solid, but the Defense Against the Dark Arts class was more practical, so he applied to go out to accumulate experience in Defense Against the Dark Arts. To put it bluntly, he found some evil creatures and dark wizards to practice with.

Who knew that this practice would lead him to the Dark Forest of Albania and meet the leader of the dark wizards, Voldemort.

Speaking of which, Voldemort failed to apply for the position of Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, which was why he cursed the position.

Now he possessed Quirrell and sneaked into Hogwarts to become a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, which was also a dream come true.

In the first class, Professor Quirrell was going to talk about how to deal with ghouls.

In fact, the ghouls in the Harry Potter world are far inferior to their counterparts in the universe.

They can neither paralyze the enemy through attack, nor cut wood or eat corpses to recover blood, and they can't even calculate 1000-7.

These poor creatures look ferocious, but they actually just live in the attic or barn of the wizard's house and feed on spiders and moths.

Because of this, many wizards even keep ghouls as pets.

Ron's family has one, and it will start knocking on the pipes whenever it feels that the house is too quiet.

Levin didn't understand why such a low-risk creature would appear in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class.

In other words, Levin fundamentally questioned the concept of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class at Hogwarts.

The so-called Defense Against the Dark Arts, which is said to be defense against dark magic, is actually about how to resist dark creatures.

There is no mention of those truly dangerous dark wizards and dark magic.

What kind of dark magic can this defend against?

In fact, Levin even has doubts about the definition of"black magic".

The definition of black magic in the Harry Potter world is very vague. It seems that all spells that can cause harm to others are black magic, but this is not right.

As long as it is used properly, the [Spell of the Spurs] can also kill people, and the [Illumination Spell] can also blind people.

The famous [Anal Spell] in black magic was actually invented to facilitate anorectal surgery.

The portrait of its inventor is still hanging on the wall of St. Mungo's Hospital.

Some people say that using black magic requires malice in the heart, but human character itself contains good and evil. Asking a person to use only white magic and not black magic is equivalent to asking a person to have only goodness in his heart and no evil, which is completely unrealistic.

In Levin's view, black magic is just a kind of power. Existence is reasonable, and it is worth studying as long as it is appropriate.

Like Dumbledore, expecting to make everyone in the magic world a saint by banning black magic is completely wishful thinking of moral cleanliness.

If it continues like this, it will only cause stagnation and backwardness in the magic world.

In fact, the magic world in the Harry Potter world has been stagnant for a long time.

Their so-called"International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy" does not protect Muggles, but wizards themselves.

Levin, who has memories of his past life, knows very well how far Muggle technology will develop in the next few decades.

As a wizard who can cast spells, his butt is naturally on the side of wizards.

After taking this class, he understood that Hogwarts was so evasive even when teaching the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, and did not even dare to teach some real dark magic. If the wizarding world continues to develop like this, big problems will arise sooner or later.

Soon Levin also understood why Hufflepuff said that Professor Quirrell was not as good as Professor Binns.

In terms of teaching methods, Professor Quirrell and Professor Binns are exactly the same: reading the text word for word.

Although the old ghost Binns' tone is boring, he recites very fluently, almost to the point of reciting it backwards.

Occasionally, when he is in a good mood, he will also tell the little wizards some interesting extension topics, such as some unofficial history.

And what about Professor Quirrell?

He couldn't even read the text fluently, and with his stuttering problem, listening to his lectures was simply a disaster.

Levin seriously suspected that Dumbledore was willing to invite Professor Quirrell simply because no one else signed up except him.

Because of this, Professor Quirrell was ridiculed by the little wizards.

Everyone said that the garlic smell on Quirrell was to drive away a vampire he met in Romania - even when he arrived at Hogwarts, he was afraid that the vampire would come back to catch him.

Quirrell tried to explain that his big scarf was a gift from an African prince, who thanked him for helping him get rid of the entanglement of the resurrected zombies, but no one believed his story.

When Seamus Finnigan impatiently asked Professor Quirrell how he defeated the resurrected zombies, the professor's face flushed and was vague.

Even Hermione, who respected teachers the most, couldn't help but complain:"Professor Quirrell doesn't seem to be very good at teaching? Is it because he is nervous about being a professor for the first time?"

She didn't believe this herself, but she just didn't want to say bad things about the professor.

Levin broke his fantasy:"This is not the first time Quirrell has been a professor. He taught Muggle Studies at school before."

Hermione's face fell, and she became more and more disappointed with the future of this course.

When she thought that the Defense Against the Dark Arts class would be like this for the next seven years, her eyes darkened.

Levin was quite optimistic. His level was at least higher than Gilderoy Lockhart.
