The Strongest Badger at Hogwarts
Chapter 66: Defense Against the Dark Arts
In the early morning auditorium, looking at his schedule, Link took a deep breath.
Dark Magic Defense is a compulsory course for every little wizard. Its purpose is to teach every student how to resist all kinds of black magic and dangerous creatures.
This is a crucial course, especially in the country that has experienced the ravages of the Dark Lord twice.
But this year there are some problems in this class. The source of this problem comes from its professor, Quirinas Quirrell.
As an outstanding graduate of Hogwarts Ravenclaw College, Quirrell definitely has sufficient accumulation in theoretical knowledge, which is why Dumbledore invited him to become a professor.
But obviously Quirrell disappointed Dumbledore.
As a professor, his teaching level is simply terrible.
You can't expect to learn anything from his class, because he will only read "Dark Force: A Guide to Self-Defense" and "Magic Defense Theory" to you there, and he will read it stumblingly.
In a sense, what he taught is worse than Professor Bins.
Although they are all based on the same script, Professor Bins at least has his own lesson plan, but Quirrell, it was a disaster.
Listening to him in class, you might as well read a book and study by yourself, at least that way, you are more fluent.
The reason why Link hadn’t been able to master the basic self-defense magic of the second grade, such as the Iron Armor Curse and the Disarming Curse, was precisely because of Quirrell’s poor teaching method. It is difficult for wizards to learn spells.
Of course, this is a problem for all the little wizards at Hogwarts.
For Link, the name Quirrell also represents another kind of worse trouble.
Because the dark shadow that Link had encountered in the Forbidden Forest earlier was Quirrell, Voldemort was also possessing Quirrell, sucking his vitality and magic power to maintain his life.
If he can, Link really doesn't want to go to the Defense Against the Dark Arts class.
Because Voldemort has already shown his malice against him now, he would go to the Dark Arts Defense again to be just like throwing himself into a trap.
But this is obviously not something Link can decide.
"Link! What are you doing in a daze? We will be late soon, this is not like you!"
John said excitedly at Link.
He was very happy today, because the Christmas special training advocated by Cedric has ended, and he can finally train today without the blizzard.
But when he heard that, Link sighed, and after a while, he finally got up and walked towards the classroom with John.
The classroom of Defense Against the Dark Arts is a very ordinary square classroom. The floor space here is not large, which allows you to clearly see the content on the blackboard even if you sit in the back row.
Link and John stepped on the spot, but they were not the last to arrive.
Along the way, Link has seen many students who are going to take the Defense Against the Dark Arts class like them gather in the corridor and refuse to enter the classroom.
The only reason for this situation is that there is always a strong smell of garlic lingering in the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom.
This kind of smell is so strong that as long as you stay inside for a while, you will get it on your body.
Then throughout the next day, you will become a humanoid self-propelled gas bomb, which is unacceptable to many girls.
This violent smell comes from Quirrell. Many people (in fact, George and Fred) think that Quirrell is specially used to deal with vampires, but more people think that Quirrell really likes to eat garlic. , So much so that he carried garlic with him as a snack.
When they arrived, Professor Quirrell had already stood on the podium early, waiting for the class.
Quirrell is actually a very bookish person, and he is also very young, which makes him look not ugly.
But unfortunately, in order to hide the Voldemort on the back of his head, Quirrell always wears a purple Indian turban, which makes him not look like an Englishman, but more like an immigrant from India.
The most funny thing is that Quirrell is always in a panic. The specific manifestation is that he likes to put his hands on his chest and buckle his fingers, or both hands are at a loss.
This kind of behavior always makes people feel that Quirrell is stupid, and it reminds Link of a movie character he has seen in his previous life-Mr. Tree.
But Link also had to admit that Quirrell's deliberately acting stupid was indeed very deceptive. If he hadn't read the original work, Link would not have guessed that he would be possessed by Voldemort.
"Fu Fu Fu...Folly classmate, good morning!"
As Link and John passed the podium, Quirrell stammered. While talking, he stretched out a hand and shook.
This made John's face a flash of surprise, because Quirrell usually doesn't greet his students at all, and he even suspects that Quirrell didn't even remember their names.
And he came in with Link, but Quirrell only called Link by his name.
This made his eyes look a little strange at Link.
But Link squinted his eyes and looked at Quirrell warily, and then took John to the last row seat without a word~lightnovelpub.net~ With Link and John seated, the class bell finally Rang.
The students who had originally gathered in the corridor also walked into the classroom very reluctantly.
Quiluo has become accustomed to this too. He smiled at Link again and then raised the book in his hand and began to stammer.
The students in the audience did their own thing regardless.
For the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, they had already given up.
Because Quirrell’s class process only involves reading, and there are no extra points such as quizzes and taking students to answer questions. It’s really thanks to Quirrell’s stuttering, or else just Those two textbooks are really not enough for him to read for a year.
However, Quirrell’s performance today greatly exceeded everyone's expectations.
Only ten minutes into class, he put down the textbook in his hand, pointed at Link with a smile on his face, and said:
"Fofu...Folly, what is the effect of the Disarming Curse "Except Your Weapon"?"
Quiro's abnormal behavior suddenly attracted everyone's attention, and everyone turned their attention to Link.
And Link himself was also amazed, but in the end he stood up and replied:
"The main function of the disarming spell is to make weapons or any objects fly out of the opponent's hands, and he can make the opponent lose his wand.
"End... Exactly! Hufflepuff adds 10 points!"
Quirrell shouted excitedly, and when he said this, everyone including Link was taken aback.
Today's Quirrell not only took the initiative to ask people to answer the question, but also gave Link 10 points for such a simple question! ?
This is nothing short of a miracle!
