Magical Studies at Hogwarts

Mad-Eye Moody's name spread throughout Hogwarts the next day, and even those who had never heard of him before knew about the things Moody had done due to the publicity from people around him.

For example, he insisted on not using the Unforgivable Curse when capturing Death Eaters, even after the Ministry of Magic lifted the ban. Another example is that he suffered from severe persecution paranoia after retirement.

Almost every few days, relevant personnel from the Ministry of Magic have to deal with the trouble caused by the protective magic he set up.

Now, Moody is even more famous because he demonstrated the three Unforgivable Curses to the students in the first Defense Against the Dark Arts class of the school year.

This is the first time in the entire history of Hogwarts.

Seeing the various strange postures of the spider under the influence of the Soul-stealing Curse, the painful distortion under the influence of the Cruciatus Curse, and the green light of the Death Curse, almost everyone was shocked by Moody's boldness.

.

"You must understand what is the worst, what is the most dangerous and evil curse!"

"The Seizing Curse, the Cruciatus Curse, the Death Curse, if any one of these spells is used on a person, it is enough to live in Azkaban for a lifetime!"

"This is what I want to teach you to resist. You must be prepared and always vigilant..."

Moody was very serious, and with his scarred face and his magic eye that kept turning around, these words were firmly imprinted in the minds of the students.

This is also the first time that the little wizards who have been living in the ivory tower face the most dangerous and evil curse in the magic world.

"I don't know why Dumbledore asked Moody to be our Defense Against the Dark Arts professor." Terry complained after class.

"Yes, he was indeed the most outstanding Ao Luo in the Ministry of Magic, but now he is old and just an old man with mental problems!"

"But like he said, we really should know what the worst-case scenario is." Stewart was rarely serious and looked a little solemn.

"Well, I don't deny this," Terry said, "but that doesn't mean I agree with his teaching methods."

The two argued all the way back to the common room, but neither could convince the other, and the same was true for Michael and Anthony.

"Okay, okay, no matter what, he will be our Defense Against the Dark Arts professor this year." Sitting on the sofa in the common room, Ike interrupted the increasingly heated argument.

"No matter what, you have to admit one thing: what he teaches is very useful."

Stewart and others fell silent. They just had different views on Moody and had no objection to what he said.

Maybe he was just complaining at first, but later he became angry, and he calmed down after Ike said this.

Such a scene happened in almost all grades in all colleges, and Moody became the most talked about professor among the little wizards.

This is quite normal, as Defense Against the Dark Arts professors over the years have received this treatment.

Maybe it's an additional effect of Comrade Lao Fu's curse on this position?

The whole September passed in a step-by-step manner. For fourth-year Ike and his friends, the skyrocketing workload left them with almost no spare time, and all the professors invariably increased their homework.

Transfiguration has been doubled, Charms has been doubled, not to mention Potions. It was already the most, but this time it has quadrupled.

Everyone was almost breathless under the heavy workload. Even Ike, who had a time turner, once again increased the frequency of "cheating". He even directly created a "doppelgänger" just to do homework.

However, there is a saying that this extremely fulfilling school life made him feel a little familiar, and it gave him the illusion of "revisiting his old place".

Maybe it was from past experience, but Ike was the first among all the fourth grade students to adapt to this rhythm.

"How did you do it?" In the Room of Requirement, Hermione, who was overwhelmed by the heavy homework, asked a little crazy to Ike who still had time to read the "idle book".

"If you don't spend a lot of time getting that S.P.E.W., you can do it." Ike replied without even raising his head.

"The House Elf Rights Promotion Association is a serious business!" Hermione was a little excited. "They need to receive reasonable wages and a good working environment!"

"Dobby and Winky are just exceptions, Hermione." Ike closed the book and said, "Strictly speaking, they can no longer be called 'house elves' because the families they originally served removed them.

.”

"From this perspective, it is normal for Dobby and Winky to receive Hogwarts salaries."

"But you have to know that other house elves are not free."

"Yes, that's why I want to do this." Hermione said, "In the short term, we need to improve the working environment of house elves so that the families they serve will no longer punish them in various ways."

"In the long term, my vision is to allow house elves to gain the right to use magic, and let everyone enter the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures in the Ministry of Magic."

As she spoke, Hermione took out a small box from her pocket. When she opened it, it was full of badges with "s.p.e.w" written on it.

Handing a badge to Ike, Hermione continued: "This is a great cause! But I am not enough on my own."

"So I want to develop members, and you are the first one!" Hermione stood up and put the wand on Ike's shoulder. "Now, I appoint you as the chief promoter of the House Elf Rights Promotion Association, and your

The first task is to attract Stuart and others into our association!"

"Promise to complete the mission! My Lord President!" Ike made a knightly salute like a mischief, and Hermione happily pinned the badge on Ike's clothes.

He also took out a few and gave them to Ike to recruit members.

"Presumably, Harry and Ron have also joined the club." Ike asked, playing with the badge in his hand.

"Of course! Harry is the secretary and Ron is the financial controller." Hermione said, "I specially prepared a piggy bank for Ron to put the income from selling our badges."

"Does this thing cost money?" Ike was shocked.

"One two Sickles, remember to give it to me tomorrow." Hermione was very serious.

"Well..." Ike was silent for a while and then said, "Why can't I be the financial controller? I think I am very talented in managing money."

As soon as she finished speaking, Hermione's expression became much more serious.

"Ike Strider, I think we need to talk about the origin of the huge sum of money sent to you by Gringotts..."

"Actually..." Ike touched his nose, "I think the chief promoter is very good and suits me very well."

"snort!"
