harry potter book of crimes

Among the courses at Hogwarts, the one that the freshmen look forward to most is naturally the Defense Against the Dark Arts class. No matter how popular the topic of Maca is in the school, it cannot change the ancient magic text class.

The reality of an elective course is that if freshmen want to see Maca in class, they have to wait until their third grade!

Of course, ever since Snape took over the Defense class, this course, which has attracted widespread attention from students, has always been in a very awkward psychological position.

If someone says that Snape's teaching is not good enough, then that person's evaluation must be biased. Because no matter who it is, any student who has taken his defense class will quickly notice their own progress.

There are almost no exceptions.

But even if everyone can feel the benefits brought by Snape's defense class, I am afraid that anyone else would complain about "being frightened several times every day in class". Because of this, everyone now

It can be said that the Defense Against the Dark Arts course has mixed reviews and praises, and it is a tangled state of "death" in words and "acclaim" in the heart.

Therefore, since those old students who have experienced the dark ages have such a mentality about it...then the freshmen who have just entered this year will naturally feel even more terrible.

Before lunch this morning, first-year students from Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw attended the third Defense Against the Dark Arts class this school year. In fact, many students looked at the classroom door when they saw it.

By then, he had already begun to sigh.

In the first two classes, they were forced by Snape to stay with a lot of ghouls for two full periods and did nothing else.

Yes, in fact, many young wizards who come from wizarding families know to some extent that ghouls are basically not dangerous. But you know, you know, if they are really allowed to fight with nearly thirty ghouls without any cover,

The feeling of close contact with ghosts is really disgusting!

No, speaking of it, the number of students who vomited on the spot in those two classes exceeded single digits, and the number of students who ran to the bathroom to vomit after class may have exceeded the thirty mark.

Regarding this point, Snape’s original words are as follows:

"Before you start to formally learn Defense Against the Dark Arts, you need to abandon your cowardly thoughts. If you can't even endure this level, what else can you use to face the dark arts? Are you still counting on those cruel and cruel people?

Are hot dark wizards or dark magical creatures afraid of your vomit?"

His words seemed to slap the students in the face with every word and sentence, especially the last sentence - because in the classroom, those disgusting ghouls bared their yellow teeth and licked slowly

The scene of vomit was seen by everyone.

To this end, several little wizards couldn't help but contribute more steaming "food".

"I really don't know what that old bat is thinking! I've had enough..."

The person who said this in the corridor at this moment was a new friend of Alexander's in Gryffindor. As for the nickname "Old Bat", of course he heard it from the Gryffindor seniors.

.

"Oh, yes..." Alexander rubbed his belly, "If we still have to stare at those ghouls for the entire class today, I think I might have to say goodbye to today's lunch!"

This is not because Alexander is not brave enough. Judging from everyone's performance in the first two classes, he is actually pretty good. If you want to blame it, you can only blame those ghouls. Not only does he look like a half-dissolved human being, but

Even the smell of them stimulates the nostrils of the little wizards all the time.

"I went to the library yesterday evening to check some information," Alexander sighed. "What Professor Snape got must be the Crypt Ghouls found in caves with underground water, not those living in the valley."

Ordinary things in warehouses or other people's houses...those guys really stink!"

"Really?" The other party waved his hand casually, "Just make it smell a little stink! No matter what, it will be fine... I just want to end today's torture as soon as possible!"

"Uh... that's right!" Alexander nodded helplessly, expressing his agreement, "In this case, I think I'd better think about today's lunch while I still have appetite! Even if I can't eat it after a while.

If you go down, at least now you can still——"

Before he finished speaking, with a soft "click", the classroom door opened with the pleasant sound of the class bell.

"Hmph, are all here...my vomiting monsters?"

Snape, still wearing his dark cloak, looked around with a cold face, then turned around and walked inside.

"Still thinking about how to feed those ghouls? Don't worry about it, I think... even the most capable house elf can't keep up with the speed at which you make the classroom dirty!" He walked away.

, while squeezing out of habit, "Come in and speed up! Are you going to waste all your class time in the corridor?"

When these new little badgers and little lions carefully entered the classroom, they finally breathed a sigh of relief - those deadly ghouls were no longer waiting for them in the classroom!

Of course, the only one with a calm expression among the two houses is Miss Sarah Hohenheim, who was sorted into Ravenclaw. Whether it was the first two classes or now, she is the most calm and composed one.

student, her calmness made Snape couldn't help but glance at her a few more times during the last class.

After Snape once again urged them to sit down in a cold voice, the new students of this academic year began the formal teaching of the Defense Against the Dark Arts course.

"First of all, I don't expect you to understand what Defense Against the Dark Arts is, and what black magic is..." he said, "but, at least after the first two lessons, you may be able to get a little bit of personal knowledge.

Feel it.”

"Yes, scared, disgusted, horrified, disgusted..." Every time Snape said a word, he would knock on the tabletop of the podium, and the sound seemed to be directly knocking on the hearts of the students, "I don't care about you.

It doesn’t matter what you have experienced specifically. I just want you to understand that when you need to use the knowledge you have learned in this course, what is the first thing you have to face?"

"Is it a scary dark wizard? Or a cruel dark creature? Or some deadly black magic item?" He curled his lips and asked to himself, without any intention of letting the students answer, "No, it's none of them.

——The first thing you have to face is your own fear and cowardice."

If Maka had time to attend this class, he would definitely express his admiration for Snape's words.

As for his personal use of Defense Against the Dark Arts, he would not feel inferior to Snape now, but in terms of his understanding of this subject and his ability to teach, he definitely could not match it.

This point is actually very clear when compared with what he did in R.A. training - what he improved for the members was only "ability and skills"; and what Snape will teach the students is obviously

It's something more "comprehensive".

"Now, take out your textbooks and copy the content of the first chapter -" Snape suddenly said, "Don't be stunned, didn't you hear what I said?"

When the students all started to take out books, quills and other items from their schoolbags, he continued: "Then, every time I call someone's name, that person will come to the front - each person has three minutes,

When you go back, you are not allowed to tell others what you saw."

After that, Snape took out his wand and waved it, and a black curtain directly divided the classroom into two spaces. On one side were the desks and the little wizards, and on the other side, Snape and the podium... Of course,

There is also a large open space in front of the podium.

"First one, Logan Brown."

The first person to be called was a Gryffindor student. Under everyone's mournful eyes, he pursed his lips and walked forward as if to accept his fate. When he walked to the completely opaque curtain,

, hesitated for a moment, then opened the curtain and walked in.

"Go, open it!"

After Snape's order was spoken, the other little wizards outside the curtain heard a soft "crunch", followed immediately by the scream of the little boy just now.

Just listening to the screams with fear and the sound of kicking footsteps, the curtain was quickly lifted from the inside, and a figure suddenly rushed out - it was less than 20 seconds after entering.

Logan Brown.

Since no one could see what happened, everyone was shocked when Logan rushed back unexpectedly.

"Hey, what happened..." A boy who was also a Gryffindor pulled Logan and asked in the softest voice he could make.

However, Logan, who was still flustered, did not hear clearly, but Snape, who was separated by a thick curtain, had already heard it.

"Didn't you hear what I said? Or is your memory worse than that of a ghoul?" He knocked on the podium again, "In that case, the second one is you - Stewart Wilson

.”

"oh--"

The little lion whose name was called out immediately stood up with a grimace and shuffled forward.

It can be said that after seeing the miserable appearance of the first person entering and exiting, no one wants to go behind the curtain now. But the "old bat" has already spoken, so it is up to them.

Not going?

"...What are you doing? I can't hear you writing!"

Snape's words immediately caused everyone to lower their heads and copied the contents of the textbook helplessly.

To be honest, this book that introduces various basic curses and dark magical creatures is actually quite interesting. If it were normal times, they could hold it and read it for a long time.

But now...
