Hogwarts: My name is the Unforgivable Curse

After confirming that the secret room had indeed disappeared, the stone in Avada's heart finally fell completely. She no longer had to worry about the basilisk and the diary all day long, and could return to normal school with peace of mind. Gone in life.

As for the roosters in those oil paintings...just think of it as Dumbledore's daily routine.

After thanking Harry for his help and saying goodbye to him, Avada had a delicious lunch at Hogwarts, rested for a short while, and then started the afternoon class - it was his elective magical course. Animal care class with Ravenclaw.

Just like in the original book, the location of the Care of Magical Creatures lesson is outside the castle, but there is no fixed location. It depends on the teaching content of this lesson - the edge of the Forbidden Forest, inside the Forbidden Forest, by the Black Lake, or even sneaking in directly It's not impossible to go underwater. Students usually gather at the gate of the castle, and then the professor leads them to the teaching location.

"Good afternoon, kids!"

Sylvanus Kettleburn, Professor of Care of Magical Creatures, is a tall, rough-skinned old man with gray hair and a beard. His face is wrinkled but he looks very energetic. But none of the above is the most eye-catching thing about him, but his limbs - there is only one and a half of his limbs left in total, and the entire left arm, the entire right leg and half of the left leg are all made of wood. The prosthetic leg made a clicking sound when walking on the stone road.

But those prosthetics look pretty good, and the way he walks and waves is quite natural.

"To be honest, you are both unlucky and lucky this year..."

Looking at the students from both schools who had gathered and were looking at his prosthetic limbs with curious expressions, Professor Kettleburn pretended to regret and said: "Unfortunately, this is my last year of teaching. After this year I should retire in the future, although I don’t seem to have been officially hired yet and have always been in the probationary period...but this also means that the progress of your courses will be a little inconsistent."

"ah……"

There was a disappointing lament among the students.

"but,"

Professor Kettleburn yelled again, his face showing uncontrollable pride: "The lucky thing is that since I can only teach you for one year, I decided to teach you the most interesting and most interesting things during this year. All the magical biological knowledge is presented to you!"

"oh--!!"

A burst of violent cheers broke out among the students.

"But this way, your courses will become a little dangerous..."

"ah……"

"But I promise with my limbs that I have absolutely rich experience in dealing with it. I guarantee that as long as you follow my instructions, you will never be injured!"

"oh--!!"

"But you have to be careful next year. As far as I know, next year's professor will be teaching for the first time, and his experience in dealing with dangers should not be as rich as mine..."

"ah……"

"But that master of magical creatures who is also very valuable has even more practical experience than me!"

"oh--!!!"

"alright!"

Seeing that the atmosphere was easily stirred up by himself, Professor Kettleburn laughed and waved his hand: "Then, take your textbook "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", get in line, follow me, and go to the ban Lin Bian begins our first lesson——"

"Basic characteristics and classification of magical animals!"

As Professor Kettleburn walked, he introduced to the students behind him: "The classification standard we are using now was developed by Newt Scamander, the famous master of magical creatures, who is also the author of your textbook. It was established more than ten years ago. He and I are friends, we have collaborated for a while, and we have studied many topics together, and we still keep in touch with each other through letters..."

"But that's not why I listed his book as a textbook. He doesn't lack the money, and I don't get a share."

Amid bursts of laughter from the students, the group finally arrived at the edge of the Forbidden Forest. There were about a dozen small fences that had been built long ago. Each fence was divided into several grids, and people were jumping inside. All kinds of magical creatures.

"So,"

He clapped his hands and asked the students to quiet down: "Let me see how your preview results are... Who can answer, what are the current classification standards for magical creatures?"

"Ms. Zhang, please answer."

Qiu stood up from the crowd and replied confidently: "There are now three parallel sets of standards to classify magical animals from the perspectives of biology, magic and social harm. That is, the traditional 'Kingdom, Order, Family, Genus and Species' , and are classified into 'blood type', 'spiritual type' and 'mutated type' based on the way creatures obtain magic, and also classified from

"Perfect answer - five points to Ravenclaw."

Kettleburn smiled and praised, then pointed behind himself and said: "Everyone has also seen that there are some fences in front of you, which contain various magical animals. Now, let me set up a small challenge... "

"Everyone can form their own teams, and each group of three or four people will be responsible for a fence. Try to put the magical animals that you think are the same type in the same grid - don't worry, they are all docile and will not take the initiative to harm you. . The team with the most correct classification can win ten points for its own academy, and the time limit is ten minutes... What are you waiting for? Start now! Hurry!"

Following his order, the two groups of students suddenly became chaotic. Then groups of three or four stood in front of a fence and observed the lively animals inside with interest.

Arvada's teammates were his three roommates, Shabby, Stebbins and Summers. They were facing a fence of animals and had a heated discussion on how to divide them...

"I'm familiar with this one, Xiu Xiu, the one of the same type as it should be... Qilao'er?"

"That's wrong. Ci Lao'er is a level XXX variant of the Hedgehogformes, while Xiu Xiu is a level XX mole type... The one closer to Xiu Xiu should be the short-nosed mole."

Avada shook a copper nut, attracting the sniffer to crawl over. Then he grabbed him mercilessly and stuffed him into the same grid as a mole that was shaking its head.

"Okay, you're right."

"As for Mr. Thorn... there are no Hedgehogs in the fence. Please help me see if there are any XXX-level mutants..."

“There is a salamander here, but can these two really fit into the same grid??”

Xia Bi put a salamander on his palm and asked doubtfully - Is the difference too big?

"Are there any mutants among the remaining mammals?"

"Let's see... is this the cub of a horned beast? Is it a mutant?"

"No, the horned beast is a bloodline type... Let's put the salamander and the thorn together first, I believe the Lord Food Hunter."

"What the hell..."

After ten minutes of noisy work, Professor Kettleburn asked everyone to stop their activities, and then began to inspect the pens one by one.

"Ouch!"

When passing by Avada's fence, he finally let out a sigh of admiration: "Finally, someone has classified the thorns and salamanders into the same category! Although they are a bit far apart in terms of biological classification, they are actually in magic. They are highly similar in structure and principle. Most people like to put salamanders and Brazilian pseudosaurus together, but in fact they are worlds apart..."

After looking at all the fences, Professor Kettleburn directly declared Avada the winner, winning ten points for Hufflepuff.

"Not bad, everyone did a good job, each group can be basically classified correctly..."

Professor Kettleburn continued with a smile: "It seems that everyone has some understanding of what we are going to learn. Then we will officially start today's course."

"Now everyone knows the classification standards for magical animals. But do you have any doubts, that is: why do we classify them according to such standards? Where do the standards come from?"

"There is a very complicated and advanced process for verifying biological classification. You can only start experiments after you are in fifth grade. The danger level classification is relatively loose and is mainly determined based on magical potential and historical attack records..."

"So this year, what we want to understand is mainly the classification in the magical sense, that is, blood, spirit and mutation."
