The Admiral of Hogwarts

It must be said that Professor Moody's first lesson left a deep impression on everyone, but most Ravenclaws believed that Moody's next lesson would at most teach spells similar to the Stupefy or Protego.

After all, the Unforgivable Curses were not required for either the O.W.L.s or N.E.W.T.s exams; learning them would be more likely to get you directly admitted to Azkaban.

However, it wasn't until the next day that Hugo and the others learned that, in the seventh-year advanced class, Moody had specifically invited Enterprise as his assistant to demonstrate how to fight, and they had a battle demonstration on the lawn, which ended in a draw.

After the battle, Moody greatly praised Enterprise in the teachers' lounge, considering her a fully qualified, even excellent, Auror, and expressed regret that she had chosen to leave the profession.

"Now I can confirm that the other party is most likely the real Moody, because the flask he carries contains butterbeer, not Polyjuice Potion," Enterprise said to Hugo through the Admiral Network after the exchange.

"Butterbeer?" After hearing Enterprise's words, Hugo specifically confirmed it again, because in his eyes, this drink was completely inconsistent with Moody's tough guy image.

"That's normal. After all, Moody is an experienced old Auror. So he certainly wouldn't drink alcoholic beverages that would affect his reaction speed," Enterprise explained, understanding Hugo's thoughts.

"I also observed the other party. The other party's behavior does conform to the characteristics of an old Auror who has survived hundreds of battles, and this aspect is very difficult for outsiders to imitate."

For the ship girls, their senses, far superior to those of humans, allowed them to observe many things that normal humans would not notice, so their reports in this regard were obviously more authentic.

However, this was not good news for Hugo, because it meant that a real enemy was likely lurking in the dark, ready to strike a fatal blow at any time.

Fortunately, if that enemy were to launch a fatal blow, the primary target would inevitably be Harry, so Hugo didn't need to worry too much about this for the time being.

For the next two weeks, Hugo seemed a little busy. In addition to ordinary schoolwork, he also needed to spend a lot of time with the Weasley twins and create some special experimental products.

Because the twins had received guidance from Unyielding during the summer vacation, they had come up with a large number of new ideas that required Hugo to help them experiment during this period.

In these experiments, Hugo's main task was to analyze the effects of the items they made and then screen out the most suitable formula.

"Seriously, Hugo, if it weren't for your help, our next work would definitely be 100 times more difficult than it is now," Fred said loudly in an exaggerated tone as Hugo simply analyzed the appropriate component ratio of the Puking Pastilles using alchemical analysis.

The reason the twins were so excited was very simple: if Hugo hadn't used alchemy to help, the twins would have had to experiment on themselves to figure out the detailed ratios.

In other words, with the help of Hugo's alchemy, Fred and George were able to skip a lot of human experimentation and get results directly during the research process.

"That's right, and our research progress has also greatly improved," George said at this time. "Now we can skip the time it takes to explore the specific situation of the formula and directly conduct large-scale experiments on volunteers."

"You're not planning to do this at school, are you!" Hugo thought of what the Weasley twins had done in the original text, so he spoke out to dissuade them. "I don't think it's appropriate to experiment on classmates."

"Then what do you say we should do?" Fred said with a depressed face. "After all, our prank gadgets are for students, so the experimental data also needs to be obtained from students."

"You can find Miss Unyielding and the others to cooperate," Hugo suggested. "Sometimes cooperation is not a bad thing, and after you get in touch with Unyielding, you can also organize mass production and sales through their channels."

"That's indeed a good idea, but we need to discuss it carefully," Fred said with a thoughtful look on his face after hearing Hugo's words.

They really hadn't thought about this direction before. After all, even if their business was good in the future, they were only sixth-year students now, so they hadn't thought of this kind of business cooperation method before.

Of course, Hugo also knew that the Weasley twins would definitely think about it carefully in this situation, because it was closely related to their future, so he changed the subject.

"By the way, I heard you keep saying that Moody's upcoming Defense Against the Dark Arts lessons are very exciting. What's going on? He wouldn't be teaching you the Unforgivable Curses, would he?"

"Of course not. Moody wouldn't even use the Unforgivable Curses in the era when Aurors were allowed to use this type of dark magic, so how could he teach this to students now," George shook his head and said.

"But you'll have to see for yourself what it is," Fred said with a smile on his face. "I can only say that the course will be open to all students above the third grade and will be an unprecedented course."

Just as Hugo had guessed before, Moody was indeed training the students as Aurors. For example, only one of the two weekly classes would involve theoretical teaching, while the other would be practical teaching.

Since demonstrating some of his practical skills in the first practical class, Moody's favorite thing to do now was to pick two of Hugo, Hermione, and Veneto to come on stage for a practical demonstration.

This day was another practical class. Hugo thought that this class might be learning the simple combined use of magic in actual combat, but as soon as the class started, Moody announced shocking news.

In today's class, he would take turns casting the Imperius Curse on each student to demonstrate the power of the spell and see if everyone could resist its influence.

"But that's illegal, Professor," Hermione said loudly as Moody waved his wand, moving the desks to the side and leaving a large open space in the center of the classroom.

"Of course I know," Professor Moody said at this time, taking out a piece of parchment from his arms. "But I have already obtained permission from the Ministry of Magic and Headmaster Dumbledore."

As he spoke, Professor Moody tapped the parchment with his wand and then enlarged it and hung it on the blackboard. Everyone saw the Ministry of Magic's approval and the shiny seal at the end on the parchment.

"It's good that Miss Granger can remain vigilant at this time," Moody said, looking at the students below. "Because many criminals use their status to carry out many illegal activities."

"Of course, given that this magic may indeed be difficult for some people to accept, I will allow those who do not want to try to leave now."

"But I need to remind everyone that this method of learning is indeed difficult to accept, but it is much better than learning through more cruel methods—waiting for someone to cast this spell on you and completely control you in their hands."
