Magical Studies at Hogwarts

Chapter 149 SPEW
The name of Mad-Eye Moody spread throughout Hogwarts on the second day. Even those who had never heard of him before knew about the things Moody had done through the publicity of the people around him.

For example, he insisted on not using the Unforgivable Curse while hunting Death Eaters, even if the Ministry of Magic lifted the ban.For another example, after he retired, he suffered from severe paranoia of persecution. Almost every few days, the relevant personnel of the Ministry of Magic had to deal with the chaos caused by the protective magic he set up.

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

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

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

"You must know what is the worst and what is the most dangerous and evil spell!"

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

"That's what I'm going to teach you to resist, you have to be prepared, be vigilant at all times..."

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

This is also the first time for the little wizards who have been living in the ivory tower to face the most dangerous and evil spell in the wizarding world.

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

"That's right, he used to be the best Aoruo in the Ministry of Magic, but now he's old, just an old man with mental problems!"

"But as he said, we really should know what the worst-case scenario looks like." Stewart was serious for a rare time, looking a little dignified.

"Well, I don't deny that," Terry said, "but that doesn't mean I agree with the way he teaches."

The two argued all the way back to the common room, but no one convinced anyone, and so did Michael and Anthony.

"Okay, okay, anyway, he will be our Defense Against the Dark Arts professor this year." Sitting on the sofa in the common room, Ike interrupted the heated debate.

"No matter what, we have to admit that what he taught is very useful."

Several people in Stuart were silent. They just had different views on Moody, and they had no objection to what he said.

Maybe it was just whining at first, but later it became completely angry, and Ike calmed down when Ike said this.

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

It's a very normal thing, the Defense Against the Dark Arts professors over the years will get this treatment.

Maybe it's an additional effect after Comrade Lao Fu cursed this position?

The whole September passed in a step-by-step study. For Ike and the others in the fourth grade, the soaring homework load left them with little spare time, and all the professors increased their homework in unison.

Transfiguration has doubled, Charms has doubled, not to mention Potions, which is already the most, and this time it has been quadrupled.

Everyone was so overwhelmed by the heavy homework that even Ike, who had a time converter, increased the frequency of "cheating" again. He even directly created a "clone" to do homework.

But there is one thing to say, this kind of extremely fulfilling school life made him feel a little kind, and he had the illusion of "revisiting the old place".

Perhaps it was a previous experience, and Ike was the first to adapt to this rhythm among all the fourth graders.

"How did you do it?" In the Room of Response, Hermione, who was overwhelmed by the heavy homework, asked Ike, who had time to read "idle books" beside her, a little frantically.

"If you don't spend a lot of time getting that SPEW, you can do it too." Ike replied without raising his head.

"The House-Elf Rights Promotion Association is a serious business!" Hermione was a little excited, "They need to get 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 family they originally served removed them. .”

"From this point of view, it's normal for Dobby and Winky to be paid Hogwarts wages."

"But you know, other house-elves aren't free."

"That's right, that's why I want to do this," said Hermione. "In the short term, we want to improve the working environment for house-elves so that the families they serve don't punish them in various ways."

"In the long run, my vision is to give house-elves the right to use magic, and put everyone in the Ministry of Magic's Department for the Regulation and Control of Fantastic Creatures."

Speaking, Hermione also took out a small box from her pocket, and when she opened it, it was full of "SPEW" badges.

Handing a badge to Ike, Hermione continued: "It's a great cause! But I'm not enough on my own."

"So I want to recruit members, and you are the first!" Hermione stood up and put her 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 draw Stuart and the others into our association!"

"Guaranteed to complete the mission! My lord president!" Ike performed a knightly salute as if playing a trick, and Hermione happily pinned the badge on Ike's clothes.

I also took out a few and gave them to Ike to let him 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 treasurer." Hermione said, "I specially prepared a piggy bank for Ron to store our income from selling badges."

"This thing still needs money?" Ike was shocked.

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

"Well..." Ike was silent for a while before he said, "Why can't I be the treasurer? I think I'm very talented in managing money."

As soon as the words fell, Hermione's expression became much more serious.

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

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

"Humph!"
