Defense Against the Dark Arts is an interesting course. Literally, this is a course that teaches students how to defend against the dark arts. But what is Professor Lupine teaching this year? Various ways to deal with Boggarts, Grindylows, Hinkpunk, Red Hoods.

These creatures, are they in the category of black magic?

It seems so hard to classify them in something like black magic, it's as ridiculous as pointing at a hyena and calling it a weapon of mass destruction. They are all magical animals.

There is a great overlap between the teaching content of Lupine's teaching this school year and the teaching content of the Protection of Magical Beasts class. Fortunately, there were enough types of magical animals, so it didn't cause Newt too much trouble.

Why does this phenomenon occur? This involves a question, how to become a teacher? In the non-magical world, you need to get a teacher qualification certificate, and then go to the school to apply for a job. Your teaching content is also planned, and it is impossible for you to give lectures as you like. But the wizarding world is different. Teaching at Hogwarts does not require a teacher qualification certificate or pre-job training. You just need the approval of Headmaster Dumbledore. This, combined with the fact that the instructors of the course have been changing frequently over the decades, has resulted in different professors having different teaching styles.

Quirrell's scripting, Lockhart's reading comprehension, Lupine's Magizoology, Moody's true Defense Against the Dark Arts, and Umbridge's politics lesson...

In fact, the Defense Against the Dark Arts course should have been a practical course at first. The little wizards will come to an open field as soon as the class time comes, and form a team for one-on-one or two-on-two duels. In that era, the prefect should be the most capable student in the grade, and the student council president should be the most capable student in the school.

In that era, students had to learn how to fight, how to resolve various curses, how to deal with strange and magical animals, and even solve various puzzles in this class. All in all, this is more like a comprehensive application-oriented course - a bit like an internship in a non-magical world.

However, as time passed, the martial arts of the little wizards gradually declined, and the Defense Against the Dark Arts did not place so much emphasis on practical exercises.

As the "king of the kids" back then, Professor Lu Ping has his own unique understanding of Defense Against the Dark Arts. Based on this understanding, he came up with a very unique set of exam questions.

Even Tom found this examination question novel. And when he learned that Hogwarts did not have such a rigid requirement of failure rate, a bold idea popped into his mind.

…

Although Professor Lupine was tight-lipped about Tom's whereabouts, the little wizards still had rough guesses in their hearts. After all, it was already Thursday, and the wizards of the third grade were not the first batch of students to take the exam, so they had naturally heard some rumors.

Of course, the little wizards still have a very strong sense of secrecy, and only revealed a few words. This alone is not enough to make students guess the content of the exam questions, but everyone can be sure that Tom Yodel has become a part of the exam.

Professor Lu Ping first asked the students to form teams, and then drew lots to enter the arena.

Since it's a team, there's a lot of tricks in it. Who wouldn't want to play a dungeon with the boss! The difficulty of the dungeon is certain, the thicker the thigh, the more comfortable he can lie down.

Looking at the entire third year of Ravenclaw, which thigh is thicker than Hermione Granger? There are two thighs in the whole grade: Yodel and Granger. With Yoddle gone, Granger has the strongest legs. Under normal circumstances, there is a high probability that the two of them will form a group to take the exam, but Yodel has disappeared!

Even better, teaming up with Granger also has an invisible benefit—with the relationship between Yodel and Granger, this exam may go very smoothly.

So after Professor Lupine announced that he could form a team freely, Hermione was immediately surrounded by students.

Naturally, the students who were the fastest to attack were also Ravenclaw students, and then a small infighting broke out among the eagles: the girls collectively drove the boys to the outer layer.

The reason is also very simple: Yoddle saw you taking the exam with Granger, are you sure you can pass the exam safe and sound? The lunch break at the school hospital is likely to affect your afternoon exam.

Under the naked threat, the Ravenclaw boys quickly gave up the idea of ​​teaming up with Hermione, and went to find their good friends.

The girls surrounded Hermione, chattering and clamoring to form a team with Hermione.

"Choose me, I'm fine!"

"Hermione, put me on your team, I'll do anything—"

"I have the secret of whitening and moisturizing!"

"I can…"

Hermione's head got dizzy from the quarrel. Among her roommates, she had neither particularly close friends nor bad enemies, which made the choice extremely difficult.

"Stop, stop!" Finally, she stopped the excited roommates.

"You guys draw lots! I will be in the same group as whoever gets drawn!" This is the most fair way, and everyone has nothing to say.

In the end, it was Padma Patil who teamed up with Hermione.

As for the order of playing, it will be determined by drawing lots by Professor Lu Ping. The first group of people drawn turned out to be Malfoy and Pansy Parkinson. Malfoy directly refused to cooperate with his two followers. He understood very well that the two of them could not be of much help other than serving as human shields and causing physical damage.

"Put this on." Professor Lupine put a bracelet on each of them.

"What's this?" Malfoy asked in surprise.

"If you faint, the bell on my side will ring, and then I will go to the venue and bring you out." Professor Lupine shook the pair of bells in his hand.

Malfoy: …

His face suddenly became ugly.

"If something happens to me, I—"

"I'll explain it to Mr. Lucius." Lupine guessed what he wanted to say, and interrupted him with a blank expression.

"Let's go!" Malfoy, who knew he didn't regret the medicine, took a deep breath~lightnovelpub.net~ and Pansy Parkinson stepped into Professor Lupin's classroom.

Meanwhile, Lupine glanced at the clock on the wall.

About three minutes later, the bells in Professor Lupine's hands rang together. The faces of the students around became serious all of a sudden: Did the two of Malfoy last for only three minutes? !

Professor Lu Ping sighed and walked into the examination room. After a while, he used the floating spell to bring out the two unconscious candidates.

"It's just knocked out, it's nothing serious." After Lupine awakened the two of them with the solution of the curse, he took out a notebook and wrote two notes on it, recording the performance of the two and the time it took to clear the level.

After everything was dealt with, he said that the exam for the two was over, and sent Malfoy and Pansy out of the exam room.

Exams continue.
