Hogwarts: I'm Cousin Harry.

A brand new species bred from a manticore and a fire crab.

The key point is that Hagrid hasn't had time to register with the Ministry of Magic. Theoretically speaking, this is an illegal cultivation. If he insists on following the regulations of the Ministry of Magic, Hagrid can go to Azkaban eight times a year.

Full of joy, Hagrid asked the little wizards to form a group to adopt a Blast-tailed snail, as part of the Protection of Magical Beasts class this semester.

From his tone, I hope that the little wizards can make it into a growth diary.

By the way, although the danger level of the snail has not been determined by the Ministry of Magic, it is certain that its danger level is at the 4X level, and it has a certain degree of aggressiveness towards people, even if the little wizards are surrounded by a group of cubs , It is also very dangerous to get one wrong.

This kind of cross-species breeding magical creature has a characteristic, that is, its IQ is not very good, and the direct manifestation of its poor IQ is that once it goes crazy, even the owner will attack.

The most important thing is that this thing can be bad-tempered, even the same kind will attack or even kill and eat.

Except for Hagrid, who thought the snail was a cute creature that was too funny, the other young wizards didn't like this creature very much.

No way, Hagrid likes these dangerous things the most.

"Look at these cuties."

Hagrid took a piece of frog liver to tease the juvenile snail, but the latter not only didn't appreciate it, but also sprayed a small burst of explosive flames from its tail, which happened to be sprayed on the back of Hagrid's hand, and the flames burned with the explosion all the hair on Hagrid's hands, but he was amused.

Seeing this situation, the little wizards behind all backed away. They were not Hagrid, they were not so rough and thick. If this thing was sprayed on their hands, they would be moderately burned.

Dudley looked at the snail thoughtfully.

The attack power of an adult snail is quite good, it can grow to a height of ten feet (three meters), the solid armor on its body can also reflect magic spells, and it can spray explosive flames from its tail.

I just don't know if the snails are immune to the Imperius Curse.

Otherwise, forming a team composed of snails would be very destructive.

Bad temper, aggressiveness, indiscrimination between friend and foe, these problems are not farts in front of the Imperius Curse.

The days of studying passed quickly, and soon it was Friday

Today is the day of Defense Against the Dark Arts class.

Chapter 262 260 Criteria for Evaluating Defense Against the Dark Arts Professors

After finishing his daily morning exercises, Draco wandered around the castle with his two followers, Crabbe and Goyle, bored.

Hermione and Dudley were reading in the library, while Neville, Ron and Harry practiced spells in the Room of Requirement.

He didn't want to go anywhere today. He didn't want to study or practice spells. He planned to rest all day and relax.

Well, for members of the disciplinary team, just taking classes is relaxing.

In a trance, he always felt that there was something following behind him, as if someone was watching him.

But every time I looked back, I found nothing.

This made him very puzzled.

But he believed in his intuition, there should be something really following him.

So he didn't stay too long, and immediately ran to the library to ask Dudley for help.

Miraculously, the moment he stepped into the library, the feeling of being watched disappeared.

"Draco, don't you want to rest today?"

Dudley looked at Draco and asked.

Draco thought about it and told Dudley what he felt just now. Dudley told him to pay attention recently, maybe he was being watched by someone or something, and the next time he felt this way, he would come to him immediately.

Who was Draco following?

That's naturally the 'Moody' professor. The guy who wants to set up the 'traitor' Lucius' son Draco is naturally the best choice.

It can not only export breath but also make one's 'Moody' image more three-dimensional.

The time for self-study is coming to an end soon, and the little wizards of the fourth grade began to come to the classroom of Defense Against the Dark Arts one after another. This is their fourth year at Hogwarts, where they have seen the knot Baba's Garlic Professor (Quirrell), a Drama Professor (Lockhart) who is dressed like a flower peacock, and a perfect Professor who can transform (Lupine).

Today was the fourth professor who taught them Defense Against the Dark Arts.

Put "Dark Power: Self-Defense Guide" on the desk early, quietly waiting for the arrival of the famous 'Mad-Eye'.

Many young wizards have heard about Moody from their seniors

The teaching level is first-class, there is almost no black magic that he doesn't know, and his achievements in combating black magic are even higher.

To put it in one sentence - Professor Moody's class is simply 'cool'.

Immediately after the class, I received a large wave of admiration from young wizards.

Accompanied by Moody's very characteristic thumping footsteps, this strange and scary old wizard appeared at the door of the classroom.

"Put these things away." The first thing Moody did when he entered the classroom was to point to the textbooks on the desk of the little wizard, and said in a rough voice. down.

"You don't need things like textbooks."

One sentence excited the little wizards below the podium.

They had heard similar words from the previous Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. Although Professor Lupine also taught them the knowledge of dark magic creatures in the order of the textbook, he never used the textbook.

The textbooks are taught by two professors, Quirrell and Lockhart

Whether or not they use textbooks to teach has almost become the standard by which they judge whether a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor is qualified.

"Before I came here, I received a letter from you, Professor Lupine, introducing your studies in this class. You have learned a lot about how to deal with black magic creatures."

The young wizards murmured their agreement.

Professor Moody nodded, and then changed the topic: "Not enough, it's not enough! For three years, you only learned how to deal with black magic such as Boggart, Red Hat, Hinkpunk, Grindylow, Kabbah and Werewolves. biology."

"You are already in the fourth grade. Your knowledge of Defense Against the Dark Arts is so shallow that I already learned how to deal with dark wizards when I was your age!"

Calculated according to the age line, Moody, Hagrid and Tom are almost in the same class.

That was Grinwald's time. He was right when he said that learning how to deal with dark wizards made sense at that time.

"I really want to know what you have learned in the past two years?"

Little wizards look at each other

The professors of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class in the first and second grades, one Quirrell and one Lockhart, they also wanted to know what they had learned with them in the past two years.

If it weren't for the teachings of Professor Lupine and Mr. Dursley in the third grade, their knowledge of Defense Against the Dark Arts might still be at the level of how to deal with the little mischievous curse like 'grin hula la'.

The young wizards in the audience were discussing a lot, and Moody tapped the ground with his crutches to silence the voices in the classroom.

"Defense Against the Dark Arts is not only about dealing with dark magic creatures, but also learning how to deal with dark magic spells!"

"I am going to give you a taste of spellcasting among wizards. I have a year to teach you how to deal with black magic"

"Can anyone tell me what is the best and most effective way to deal with the dark arts?"

Moody looked at the little wizards in the audience and asked.

As soon as Ron heard this question, I know it, and immediately raised his hand to answer.

"It's a counter-curse, sir."

"The answer is correct." Moody nodded in satisfaction: "Redhead, you are a child of the Weasley family, right? Your father Arthur has done me a big favor."

Ron, who was a little embarrassed by Moody's praise, said: "We have learned a lot of black magic counter-spells in the third grade."

Then he thought of something and looked pale.

Extra points, what about extra points?

It's rare for me to answer questions in class, what about the extra points for the discipline team?

"I see."

Moody nodded, looking a little surprised.Lupine's letter didn't mention this. His letter said that the fifth grade (last year's fourth grade) hadn't learned counter-curse. Why is the fourth grade (last year's third grade) learning instead?Did Lupine write the grade wrong?

"I also learned the Patronus Charm." Ron, who didn't get any points, added another sentence without giving up.

Moody's face is starting to look a little awkward

Third grade (now fourth grade) learning the Patronus Charm?Are you sure you're not joking?

This thing may not be taught in sixth grade.

Not many Aurors know the Patronus Charm

"That you"

Moody tentatively asked in a questioning tone.

"Basically learned."

The little wizards replied in unison, even if some little wizards couldn't summon the physical patron saint, it was enough to use fluffy white silk to deal with a single dementor.

Moody's mind was a little messy.

No. Is this really the fourth grade?

Originally, he wanted to say that the content they studied was not deep enough. Now it is not a problem of not being deep enough.

But the content of learning is beyond the outline.

Who taught the third grade Patronus Charm?

Chapter 263 261 Moody: What are the three unforgivable curses?

In fact, Lupine simply mentioned to Moody about the teaching progress of the first to seventh grades, and did not mention too much about the fourth grade (last year's third grade). After all, the former third grade is now the fourth grade's learning progress. It is also a wonderful existence in the history of Hogwarts teaching.

The learning progress of the fifth and sixth grades is not as fast as that of the fourth grade (last year's third grade).

Who made this grade have a disciplinary group? It's too cumbersome to an outrageous level.

"Yes, you are really good."

The tone was a little dry.

Hearing the little wizards talk about the progress of the teaching, Moody became more and more frightened as he listened to it. He really didn't know what he could teach.

However, the students in the audience were a little ashamed and said: "Professor, we are much worse than you. We haven't learned how to deal with a black wizard yet."

Moody: .

That was just an exaggerated rhetorical technique. Even if dark wizards were rampant in those days, a Hogwarts fourth-year student would really not be allowed to fight against dark wizards.

This is not the more chaotic era of a hundred years ago.

Moody coughed a few times, and changed the topic to Defense Against the Dark Arts. They had to give them a big blow, otherwise it would be really hard to shock these little guys.

"And do any of you know which spells are most severely punished under wizarding law?"

Ron's eyes lit up again when he heard that, I can do this question too.

One step faster than Hermione raised his hand and answered, "Three Unforgivable Curses!"

"The Imperius Curse, the Cruciatus Curse, and the Killing Curse."

"Not bad, good answer." Moody praised again and motioned him to sit down.

How about extra points?Bonus points?Even a point is fine.

Ron blinked and found that the other party didn't mean to add points at all, so he said decisively that he would not answer the next time he was killed.

"The Imperius Curse, this spell caused a lot of trouble for the Ministry of Magic back then." Moody said as he took out a transparent jar from his pocket, which contained a spider.

"Soul out of the body!"

Moody took the spider out and tapped it with his wand, and the spider began to tap dance like a marionette.

I thought that the little wizard would laugh when he saw this situation. Before that, other senior students were like this, even the seventh graders.

However, to his surprise, the group of fourth grade little wizards put away their smiles and looked at the spider seriously.

"A terrible spell that turns the subject into a puppet."

"I heard my father mentioned this curse, which can make people completely controlled and let him do whatever he wants. Even if it is death."

"Is there a way to break this curse?"

"I heard St. Mungo's aunt say that there is a way. But it is more complicated when it comes to brain treatment, and it will be abolished if you are not careful."
