Hogwarts becomes host

"Back to the topic." Adair continued. "You are here to learn how to use magic to protect yourself from dark creatures and black magic. Although resurrection is also a method, I do not recommend it. Almost all resurrection methods so far have very big flaws. And the cost of doing it is very high.”

"Will you teach us your resurrection method?" Ron asked in shock. "That's not that"

"How is that possible?" Adair glanced at Ron with disdain, "Not to mention that neither the Ministry of Magic nor Dumbledore will allow it. Even if I teach it, you won't be able to use it, or even dare to use it."

"Professor, we are Gryffindor──" Dean retorted dissatisfied loudly.

"The first step of this method is to kill someone. It can't be an ordinary person, it has to be someone meaningful to you." Adair said lightly. "I killed the entire Shafiq family, including my wife and parents. I think Gryffindor doesn't have the courage."

No one spoke, not even breathing loudly.

"Since you think you are very brave, let's talk about the enemies you may encounter in the future today." Adair said without caring about the increasingly cold atmosphere in the classroom. "There are many enemies of wizards, magical creatures, dark wizards, and even Muggles who covet the mysteries of magic - yes, don't think that Muggles can't pose a threat to you, poisoning, sneak attacks, threats, inducements, disguises, Even without using magic, I can think of more than ten ways to kidnap a little wizard."

Harry heard some people muttering disapprovingly, and Adair sneered.

"You must have corresponding strength before you despise people, otherwise it is just a joke." He looked in the direction of the Slytherin students, "Mr. Nott, Miss Davis, you told me that when you accidentally exposed your identity in a Muggle town, , how do you, who are unable to use Apparition, escape from being hunted by dozens or even hundreds of Muggles?"

"This," the student who was named replied bravely, "of course it's magic."

"What magic do you use? Your magic is enough to defeat several Muggles?" Adair asked mercilessly. "Or should I ask you, can your spell hit anyone?"

Ron and the other Gryffindors laughed. Harry was one of the few Gryffindors who didn't laugh. He had a gut feeling that laughing in Adair's class was dangerous.

"Is it funny?" As expected, Adair immediately named the snickering student. "Mr. Weasley, Miss Patil, and Mr. Finnigan, you are very confident that you have hit the target."

"Well," Seamus replied boldly, "should be better than him."

"Very good, then you take out your wand and let me see your strength." Adair thought for a moment, "Go to the end of the classroom. I will walk over and touch you. You don't need any magic defense. If you try to attack me, any Any spell will do. If you are touched by me, 30 points will be deducted from Gryffin. If you succeed, 300 points will be yours, Mr. Finnigan."

"Really, really" Seamus was frightened, and the whole class was also stunned. "But──"

"Anyway, you can't hit me." Adair said lightly. "Even if I do hit it, the spell's damage to my body will be limited."

Perhaps the temptation of 300 points was too great, or perhaps he felt that Adair's tone was too provocative. Seamus gritted his teeth, actually picked up the wand and walked to the end of the classroom. Everyone was talking about it, and dozens of pairs of curious eyes were staring at Adair. .

"Miss Granger, Miss Greengrass." Adair did not start, but looked at Hermione and Daphne. "You are the first and second in grade. Therefore, I want you to be responsible for defending against Mr. Finnigan's twisted curse so that other students will not be affected. You can do it."

"Okay." "Of course."

After everything was ready, Adair slowly walked towards Seamus, and Harry swallowed.

"Grin and hula la ricera"

Seamus was very nervous, but he was prepared, and the Laughing Curse flew straight towards Adair's chest.

Harry almost thought that Adair would be hit, but he avoided the spell with a simple and elegant sideways move. The red light brushed the front of his robe. All the students' eyes widened. They didn't expect that he could dodge like this. .

Adair didn't stop and quickly walked to the middle of the classroom, which made Seamus even more nervous. He bit his tongue for the second spell and failed to release it. Fortunately, no one dared to laugh.

Harry could understand this mistake. Adair's aura was too terrifying. Even if he knew he couldn't use magic, the murderous aura on his body was scary enough.

"Tongtong petrifi tota──"

Seeing that Adair was close enough to touch him, Seamus finally shouted the petrification spell immediately, and the tip of the wand was only two or three steps away from Adair's chest.

At this distance, it shouldn't be possible to dodge.

Everyone thought so, but the next second, Adair grabbed Seamus' neck.

The petrification spell hit the empty seat next to it, and Ron gestured with the distance in astonishment.

This seems a bit biased

"Go back to your seat. Thirty points from Gryffindor."

Adair quickly let go of Seamus, but he had fallen into an extremely depressed state. Seamus dragged his steps back to his seat, his eyes a little red, and Dean and Edward sitting next to him quickly comforted him.

"He slapped away Seamus' wand when Seamus said the first syllable." Hermione whispered, "The petrification spell is two syllables, and by the time Seamus finished saying the spell, the tip of the wand had been knocked crooked. "

"But this is a foul, right?" Dean loudly defended his friend.

"I only said that I can't use magic. Do you think that the enemies are all brainless monsters?" Adair explained as he walked back to the podium. "Won't try to dodge, won't snatch your wands, won't be smarter than you"

He turned around suddenly and glared at the whole class. Most students lowered their heads to avoid his gaze.

"As a wizard, you will encounter a lot of dangers." After a few seconds of pause, Adair returned to the rhythm of class, even though many students had not yet reacted. "Especially when I'm standing here, you should be more vigilant Miss Greengrass, can you tell me why?"

"Because the Dark Lord is more powerful than you," Daphne was stunned for a moment before replying. "If you can be resurrected, he must be resurrected too."

"Very good, ten points for Slytherin." Adair nodded slightly, which was probably the only friendly gesture he made in this class. "So, starting from today, you'd better use more caution. There are already few wizards in this world. Next, I will introduce some of the most basic defensive spells─"

He told three spells, the Armor Charm, the Stunning Charm, and a Shadow Charm that Harry had never heard of.

"This spell can make creatures temporarily lose their eyesight. Most creatures will panic when they can't see. At this time, you can take the opportunity to escape." He simply explained, "I have explained to you the key points of casting the spell. Please yourself Go back and practice with each other.”

"These spells are universal for any creature, whether it is magical creatures, Muggles, dark wizards, or even Voldemort." Seeing that most of the students shrank, Adair snorted and said disdainfully, "The Dark Lord still needs defense against the stun spell. No matter how much he looks like a monster, his body will be affected by the spell. You can use this spell to deal with him."

"Really" Lavender asked tremblingly. "Have you ever used this spell on him, Professor?"

"Yes, the premise is that you have to successfully hit him. Many wizards cannot do this, including me." Adair replied, "Spells that cannot hit the enemy are meaningless. Your enemies will never wait stupidly. Over there, even magical animals have basic counterattack and dodge awareness, let alone dark wizards and Muggles."

Adair checked the time.

"Defense Against the Dark Arts is taught twice a week. The next class is on Friday. We will actually practice these three spells. At the same time, I will explain their characteristics in practical applications. Please be sure to be able to do it after three days. Cast a spell.”

He said with an emphasis, and Neville chattered his teeth so hard that even Harry heard the chatter.

"Then, for after-school homework, please turn in a report during class next Tuesday. Using a classmate in the class as an imaginary enemy, describe any situations that you may encounter in a one-on-one duel with him, how to deal with it, and the tools you use. Spell.”

It sounded difficult, Harry was confused, and Ron didn't seem to be any better.

"To put it simply, one of your classmates will be your opponent. Write a detailed imaginary duel report and submit it." Adair explained impatiently, and the bell rang at this time. "Anyone who didn't hand it in or scrawled it, his opponent next Tuesday will be me, get out of class will be dismissed."

Everyone started to pack up and leave, the atmosphere was quite gloomy, and they breathed a sigh of relief after walking out.

Everyone quickened their pace to get away from the classroom, even the Slytherin students.

"Well, at least he taught something new. I think the shadow spell is pretty good. It's less likely to attract attention than Elaine's improved fluorescent flicker." Hermione asked Harry and Ron, "What do you think?"

"Snape Two," Ron said simply and clearly. "Slytherin professors are like this, no wonder Elaine is going crazy. Even I can't stand this kind of father. I don't even want the Galleons that fill my vault."

"Fortunately, at least he is much fairer than Snape." Harry said matter-of-factly, "He didn't target anyone. It was Seamus who was unlucky, and the Slytherin students were also ridiculed."

"That's because Elaine is not here." Ron said pitifully, "Do you think Elaine can do her homework now?"

"Forget about her."

Hermione whispered, and an indescribable awkward atmosphere enveloped the three of them.

"Hermione, Elaine is really pitiful." Harry said cautiously, "She also has her own difficulties."

"So I deserve to be stabbed"

Hermione's expression was as if she was going to make a hole in him with the Sword of Gryffindor. Harry immediately shut up. Fortunately, Neville and Seamus caught up with them at this time, begging Hermione to help them with sad faces. Provide additional guidance.

So, Hermione left.

Harry and Ron looked at each other. They also wanted to ask Hermione to guide them in writing a report, but the spells in three days were indeed more important now. Harry and Ron had already practiced the armor spell and the stun spell, and they were embarrassed to compete with Neville and others. .

"Well, let's go visit Elaine. I'm not sure if Elaine can speak, but the one in her should be easier to talk to than Professor Shafiq," Ron suggested, he said optimistically. "Maybe we can also ask him to help with the homework - he will definitely know how to write this report."

"What a great idea." Harry gave a thumbs up. "That's great."

The two went to Slughorn's office. Harry only greeted Professor Slughorn a few times. Although every time he saw Harry, he would give him a friendly smile, but the two of them did not. Intersection, because Harry didn't have his class.

However, he was Elaine's grandfather, and Hermione often said that Grandpa Slughorn gave her candy or books, so Harry subconsciously felt that this old professor should be very approachable.

He soon learned how wrong he was.

Upon hearing that he was here to visit Elaine, Slughorn welcomed Harry Ron in enthusiastically, but he never looked at Ron once from beginning to end, as if he didn't see him. Harry was just being dragged along to chat, which made Harry feel a little embarrassed.

He looked around the office. It was extremely luxurious and comfortable, but a little hot.

Soft chairs, footstools, cabinets full of books and wine bottles, a large number of snacks and pillows, as well as a beautiful piano and several smoking cauldrons. Harry saw dark green bubbles in one of the cauldrons. Elaine was comfortably soaking in it and reading a book. If he hadn't known that Elaine was seriously injured, he would have thought she was taking a bath.

The potion in a crucible turned golden, and Slughorn hurriedly took over the inspection, giving the two people a chance to talk to Elaine. The rich bubbles covered Elaine's body. Harry was very happy that Daphne and Hermione None are here.

"Potter, Weasley, come to visit this guy." As soon as Elaine spoke, Harry knew that Adair was controlling the body. "What a coincidence, she hasn't regained consciousness yet."

"Is she okay?" Ron looked away with a blush on his face, "We just finished the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, so we wanted to come and see her."

"Because the medicinal materials are not complete, it will take about three or four days before I can move freely. My consciousness should be restored after a day. Don't worry, there will be no permanent damage." Adair shrugged and said. "I just finished my class. I guess that guy must have caused a lot of trouble for you."

"Fortunately, I learned something." Harry said vaguely.

"You don't have to excuse me, Potter." Adair sneered, "I know exactly what I am. Let me guess, at this time, you two came here leaving the Muggle girl alone, not because you want to be with me. The reason I talked about Granger and Greengrass was to ask me how to write my homework, right?"

"That's right." Harry swallowed, "Then——"

"I can help with homework. For the sake of your courage last night, I happen to be very free now and want to find something to do." Adair raised his eyebrows and replied, "It's easy to talk about the two girls, but there is no relationship between them. I advise you not to interfere with this issue."
