I Have a Big Problem with My Hogwarts

"Your study situation is really appalling."

Lynn turned over their exam papers on the podium and said bluntly.

Most of the young wizards are still ashamed, and at Hogwarts, no professor has ever said to the students - you are the worst class I have ever brought. Lynn's merciless criticism has made the podium Many people below bowed their heads in shame.

"Of course, I can't blame you all. I have a general understanding of the situation last year. The Professor Quirrell who was arrested in Azkaban did not teach you anything." Lynn knew that he could put pressure on students. , but not too much pressure, you can let the students relax, but you should keep the pressure when you relax.

"But it is precisely because of this that our study this year will be more intense, and we will strive to make up for what you have left behind last year while completing your study tasks this year."

He tapped the blackboard with his wand, signaling the little wizards below to look at him.

"We have a defense class a week, I plan to intersperse it, one class teaches theory, the next class is practice, our current class is theory class. First, put the books on your desk Put it all away, take out the parchment and quill, we don't need textbooks in class, but we need to take notes."

Using a wand instead of chalk, Lynn wrote a question on the blackboard.

"Then, you should have read the defense textbook "Dark Magic: A Guide to Self-Defense" last year. Can anyone explain to me what we will learn in Defense Against the Dark Arts?"

Just after his question was asked, an arm in the classroom was raised like a conditioned reflex, and Lynn smiled and said to the owner of the arm.

"Miss Granger, come and talk about your opinion."

"In the Defense Against the Dark Arts course, we will learn how to use magic to protect ourselves from dark creatures and black magic, and learn some offensive magic," Hermione said without hesitation.

Lynn praised without hesitation: "For a textbook answer, I think you may have memorized the entire self-defense guide. Five points for Gryffindor."

Lynn didn't mean to give extra points to other colleges. The most important thing about being a teacher was fairness. Slytherin's favor with Snape was enough. He didn't need to deliberately suppress other colleges, and his current The body is a Ravenclaw graduate. If you suppress the Eagle Academy to help the Snake Academy, it will be like a contemptible eagle traitor.

"But this is what someone else summed up in the book. If you don't see this sentence, what is your own understanding of the class of Defense Against the Dark Arts?"

After Lynn asked this question, Hermione didn't raise her hand anymore, or the little wizards below all looked blank and had no idea about Lynn's question.

This is actually quite normal. Although they have been on Defense Against the Dark Arts for a year, Lynn has also experienced Quirrell's teaching method. He just finished reading a class in front of the textbook, without interacting with the students, and without any practice. , These little wizards have studied for a year but have learned nothing.

"Since you don't have a perception of it, then I will share my own perception with you." He wrote two words on the blackboard.

actual combat

"At Hogwarts, you can learn Transfiguration, you can learn spells, you can learn how to configure potions, and you can learn how to grow plants and understand their effects, but these teach you skills and knowledge. , and our Defence Against the Dark Arts class teaches actual combat.

This is a very practical course. You will not only learn offensive magic in this class, but also integrate and flexibly apply what you have learned in other classes in order to defeat your enemies. , this enemy may be a dark wizard or other dark magical creatures.

To put it simply, other subjects teach you how to make a fist, and our defense class teaches you how to swing your fist out and hit your enemy in the face. "

Lynn's explanation was very straightforward, and the little wizards below could understand it as soon as they heard it.

"Actual combat returns to actual combat. I also agree with the saying that practice brings true knowledge, but since the development of magic, most of the knowledge has been summed up by our predecessors through practice, so theory is also indispensable. Thorough study of theory, and then practice. Reasonable use of time, this is the purpose of our theoretical and practical courses."

After explaining the Defense Against the Dark Arts class clearly, Lynn stopped talking too much nonsense, and started directly from the first dark magic creature.

"The Cornish elf, not very dangerous to adult wizards, but a rather difficult creature."

The two classes passed quickly. After the bell rang, Lynn finished the unfinished class and reminded the little wizards who were about to leave that they would have a practical class in the next class. Move to a larger classroom.

"It's not bad, isn't it?" Harry said excitedly to Ron and Hermione, who had just walked out of the classroom, "Professor Lockhart's speech is very interesting, and he didn't show off his famous names the whole class like we thought. First credit, I'm already looking forward to the next practical class!"

"Yeah, it's good, it would be better if he didn't give us so much homework." Ron complained listlessly.

Hermione was very dissatisfied with what he said, and taught him a lesson: "Professor Lockhart is right in what he said in class. We have lost too much knowledge last semester. If we want to make up for it, we need to work harder this year."

Ron didn't retaliate this time, because there were too many notes to write in the class just now, and neither he nor Harry had finished copying them, and in the end they would definitely need to borrow Hermione, so it's better not to make her angry before that.

Lynn didn't stop after finishing the second grade, but walked directly into another classroom.

He has a total of two classes this afternoon, in addition to the second grade, there is also a first grade.

Teaching in the lower grades is very simple for Lynn, and it is not difficult, and the classes above the fourth grade are his specialty.

In the fourth grade, he has already started to touch the most esoteric curses in black magic. The three unforgivable curses belong to them. This is what Lynn's learning progress in second grade is based on the magic that Rozier sent him. The book and the study that Professor Fox left him, plus the full practice in the Soviet Union, this knowledge can be said to be the most proficient in Lynn's mastery.

Therefore, Lynn's teaching work at Hogwarts did not encounter any difficulties and has been proceeding in an orderly manner.

A week after school started, Harry was in their second Defence Against the Dark Arts class.

There was a cloth-covered cage in front of the podium, and a lot of excited Gryffindors stretched their heads to look here.

"Guess what kind of dark magic creatures Professor Lockhart will let us deal with in this practical class?" Harry's eyes lit up with excitement. This was the first time he was in a combat practice class, and he was very excited.

Ron was nervously checking the wand in his hand. Lynn promised them that the money for returning the book had been sent to everyone, but it took time to buy a wand. His new wand had not yet arrived, so he could only use it first. The old wand made do, but since this wand broke, the magic it used was not very reliable.

"A werewolf? Or a vampire? Maybe a revived zombie?"

Hermione rolled her eyes. "Unless Professor Lockhart is crazy, the things you're talking about will never be in Hogwarts."

Their doubts did not last long, because after the class, Lynn lifted the red cloth covering the cage and revealed to them what they were going to deal with today.

It was the Cornish elf they had learned about in the last lesson.

These pixies were livid, about eight inches tall, with small pointed faces and very sharp, piercing voices, like many budgerigars arguing.

As soon as Lynn took the red cloth away, they started chattering, jumping up and down, shaking the cage, and making all kinds of weird faces at the people nearby.

There was a burst of laughter below the podium, and the little wizards obviously didn't care about these little guys.

"I know what you're thinking now." Lynn tapped the cage with the elves with his wand. Suddenly, the elves opened their mouths as if silenced, but couldn't make any sound.

"You're thinking, these little guys don't know magic, they're short, and they don't have much strength, so what's the danger?" he said with a smile, "It seems that some people have forgotten the knowledge we taught in the last class. , even though you have filled several feet of parchment with my assignments, but you don't remember them in your mind."

"Seamus Finnigan." Lynn called out the name of the little wizard who had just laughed the loudest.

"They're really not dangerous, Professor."

Seamus stood up from his seat and looked at Lynn innocently.

"These little elves are really not difficult to deal with, and I have taught you how to deal with them in the last class, so today's practice class starts with you, let's see how you perform."

Seamus was not timid at all, holding his wand and walking to the podium.

There is a large open space there, enough space for him to use his skills.

Lynn cast the petrification spell on all the other elves in the cage, leaving only one who was still lying on the cage and grimacing at the little wizard.

"Are you ready?" he asked.

Seamus stood five meters away from the cage. He held his wand and faced the cage. The little wizards below looked at him, which made him a little excited and a little nervous.

"I'm ready."

After getting his confirmation, Lynn opened the cage, and the elf that was not petrified, with its teeth and claws, immediately came out of it.

"Repel at full speed!"

Seamus is not stupid, he saw the opportunity and used a knockback spell when Lynn opened the cage.

However, the elf was much more flexible than he imagined. Before he could read the spell, the elf rushed to his side like a rhino from the cage.

Seamus' repelling spell was of course empty, the elf hit his leg directly with his head, knocking him to the ground, and then laughing and lying on his face and pulling his ears.

Seamus waved his wand indiscriminately and shouted for help, and the little wizards under the podium laughed.

Instead of tormenting him for too long, Lynn used a Silent Petrification Charm to save him from the elf's crotch.

"I hope you didn't take this lesson in vain. It is a taboo to underestimate the enemy at any time. If you have not faced your enemy from the beginning, it means that you have failed halfway."

Lynn helped him clean the dust off his body and warned him seriously.

"Understood, Professor." Seamus said with his head down as he pretended to be a joke.

"Go back and copy the last homework for me again, then sit down and see how others deal with it."

Seamus returned to his seat in despair, watching Lynn order the next person.

"Harry Potter."

Harry immediately stood up when he heard his name, and he walked to the podium eagerly.

"Mr. Potter, do you remember what I said last class about how to deal with this nimble, small creature?"

Harry nodded. "Remember the professor, the homework also asked us to describe how to deal with this type of dark magic creature."

"Then I think you should be ready."

Harry took a deep breath. "Yes, Professor."

As soon as his voice fell, Lynn lifted the petrification spell on the elf. Seeing that it had a new play target, it immediately took short legs towards Harry, and rushed towards Harry very quickly.

Harry didn't hesitate, waved the wand in his hand and chanted the spell.

It's just that the target of his wand was not the elf itself, but a long plank placed by Lynn in advance.

Without light and any precursors, the magic directly produced an effect on the wooden board. It turned into a flexible vine man, which was straight in front of the elf. The elf did not hurry and was tripped by the vine man. Harry then took advantage of the gap and cast a Freezing Charm on him.

Lynn applauded gently, and under his leadership, the other little wizards in the classroom also applauded.

"Perfect performance, very good Potter, it looks like you took what I said last class in mind, five points for Gryffindor."

Harry's face flushed red because of the scar on his head. At Hogwarts, he received a lot of admiration from others. When the school started this year, there was even a freshman named Colin Creevey who was his iron fan, every day. They are obsessed with taking pictures of him and asking for autographs.

But the attention he gets is far less than he now relies on his own performance, and it makes him happy to be recognized by everyone.

Harry bowed to Lynn and trotted off the podium.

"Good job, Harry." Ron stared at the frozen elf again, imagining himself showing off on it.

"Nice job." Hermione also praised.

Harry's eyes lit up when he saw "Lockhart" who was about to call for the next student to come up and fight. He felt that this Defense Against the Dark Arts class was the most interesting class he had ever taken in Hogwarts.

Well, it would be better if the usual homework and class notes required less writing.
