Just a Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor

From the first day at Hogwarts, Sherlock never relaxed his self-improvement, except for his daily teaching.

Whether you know the plot or not, only improving your own strength is the most fundamental guarantee.

Through the Hogwarts Library, the largest collection of books in the British wizarding world.

In addition, from time to time, in the name of communication, he can learn a lot of useful skills and knowledge from Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick, the two masters of transformation and magic, as well as the accumulation of the original owner.

This made Sherlock's learning progress very fast.

If we talk about his magic level before, he barely reached the level of an ordinary seventh-year graduate of Hogwarts.

It has only been less than half a year, and now he can at least be called a slightly stronger adult wizard.

But other magics are okay, whether it is self-study or asking other professors for advice, Sherlock has a way to master it.

The only apparition, a magic that almost all wizards must have, Sherlock can't learn in Hogwarts.

Because for safety reasons, as long as it is within the scope of Hogwarts, all the anti-apparition spells are set, and only the headmaster has the qualification to partially cancel this spell.

Otherwise, even Dumbledore usually relies on Fox, the tool phoenix, to perform Apparition in the castle.

So Sherlock had no way to secretly practice this spell in the castle.

Moreover, due to the characteristics of Apparition itself, this spell is very prone to accidents when practicing.

If this kind of accident happens without others to remedy it in time, it may even lead to death.

But this kind of spell Sherlock had to learn, and it needed to be learned as soon as possible.

Because the original owner had an Apparition license issued by the Ministry of Magic, if he later showed that he knew nothing about this commonly used magic, it would definitely make people suspicious.

So Sherlock had to master Apparition as soon as possible, and he couldn't find acquaintances to help him in the meantime.

At first, he had a lot of headaches about it, but when he went to Filch one day to help the Weasley twins get some of the confiscated things back (compensation for the extended time on the spot), in his A flyer for a quick-casting cram school was seen on the table.

Filch looked flustered at the time, as if afraid of what Sherlock would see from the flyer.

But Sherlock didn't care about any of his little secrets at all, but was reminded and thought of his own way of learning Apparition.

Normal Apparition learning is generally carried out in Hogwarts.

When students are over seventeen years old, they can enroll in Apparition classes during the current semester.

At that time, Dumbledore will set up a special area in the school without anti-apparition magic, and then the Ministry of Magic will send specialists to guide the study. used.

The process in the middle is a bit similar to getting a driver's license in the Muggle world.

But like driving license exams, learning Apparition is not free, and after applying to study, you will need to pay a study fee to the Ministry of Magic.

Not all little wizards can get this money.

After those students from poor families missed this opportunity, if they want to learn Apparition again, it is not that they have no chance.

The Ministry of Magic has also privately authorized several non-governmental institutions (similar to driving schools) that can conduct Apparition Learning, allowing graduate adult wizards to learn and then take part in the examinations uniformly.

Such institutions are not difficult to find, and there are advertisements for these "driving schools" in the Daily Prophet.

Sherlock has been carefully selected,

In the end, this "Speed ​​Wizard Phantom Training Course" was selected.

It took thirty-six gold Galleons to sign up for a private class (12 Galleons for studying at Hogwarts, 24 Galleons for normal learning in a private cram school, private classes are at Hogwarts triple the price of learning).

It costs so much just to learn a spell.

But Sherlock couldn't save the money. He couldn't use his real identity to teach the class. The professor at Hogwarts was a public figure in the wizarding world.

What's more, Sherlock is the youngest professor at Hogwarts in the past 100 years, and at least 80% of his pictures have been seen by British wizards.

So private classes are undoubtedly the safest.

The three most common ways to travel in the wizarding world—floo powder, port keys, and apparition—can make people feel a little uncomfortable no matter what.

Sherlock felt like he was spinning in the green flames for an unknown amount of time. Just when his mind was about to be shaken, his feet touched the solid wooden floor.

He walked out of the warm fire in a daze, while taking care of his slightly messy robe.

"John Watson?"

A rough, hoarse voice sounded, calling out Sherlock's pseudonym.

This is a small hut. The owner of the house is an old man who looks about sixty or seventy years old. He has gray hair and wrinkles on his face, but his body is extremely strong. He can clearly see it under the close-fitting sweater. Strong muscular lines.

At this time, Sherlock naturally didn't have to pretend to be so cold as usual.

He casually observed the furnishings in the house, shrugged and said.

"Yes, you should be Mr. Cavill?"

"You will call me an instructor from now on." Mr. Cavill stood up from the sofa, his back was straight, and he was not much shorter than Sherlock, who was 1.87 meters tall.

"Since I took your money, you will be held to strict standards until your studies pass the Apparition exam at the Ministry of Magic."

This man, Andrew Cavill, was Sherlock's hand-picked Apparition teacher.

He had previously served as a trainee Auror training instructor at the Ministry of Magic. He may have a bad temper, but the advantage is that he is responsible and has sufficient experience in dealing with special situations.

"Okay, Instructor Cavill, which step should we start from?"

Cavill put on his robe, pushed open the door of the hut, and led Sherlock out of the house. Outside was a lawn the size of three football fields.

"I want to know your specific situation first."

The cold wind outside was blowing like a knife, but Cavill was so tough that he didn't even button up his robe, so he let the cold wind blow his robe back.

He took out the application letter Sherlock had written to him the other day.

"You practiced Apparition in school before, but because of the split, you stopped halfway and didn't continue learning?"
