Hogwart’s Certain Professor Of Magic

On a new day, Damocles Bellby had breakfast and went to the first class happily.

According to Felix’s suggestion, after negotiating with Dumbledore, he visited twelve wizards who had served as Defense Against the Dark Arts class, which gave him a first-hand understanding of the rumored curse information.

According to these seniors, the impact of the curse is so subtle that it can't even be felt, but after half a year, some hidden things begin to exert influence, and they often encounter some seemingly coincidental accidents.

As time goes on, such accidents will become more and more.

Their advice to Bellby is, "When you encounter a failure that shouldn't fail when you are making potion one day, you should prepare to leave."

Bell Than keep this sentence in mind.

In the remaining few days, he began to prepare lessons seriously.

……

'Today is the Second Year's course, they should already have the level to deal with Red Cap, but I'd better be safe. 'This was his first class, and Bellby was agitated and anxious.

When he appeared at the door of the classroom, the young wizards who had chatted with him had their eyes fixed on him.

The professor looks ordinary, tall and thin, and looks a little weak, but he drags two large cages covered with cloth with magic, which gives them a glimmer of anticipation.

No way, their requirements are already very low.

The professor stood at the door and greeted them, "Come with me, young wizards. Today is a practical class. I need to understand your level of combat." He directed the floating cage to disappear at the door. "By the way, don't forget your wand."

The young wizards packed things in a hurry, but they exchanged surprised eyes with each other.

It’s been a long time since they took a practical course on Defense Against the Dark Arts, unless the memorable lesson this year is also included. In that class, Gilderoy · Lockhart brought a The small Cornwall Goblin cage messed up the classroom order.

"Do you know what I remembered?" Ron said pointedly.

"Those little fellows with iron faces are not so quiet." Harry answered empirically.

In that practical class, it was the endgame of their three Packs, which brought the Cornwall Elf back to the cage, in which Hermione's Frozen Curse helped a lot.

They walked through the corridor and came to a quiet, empty classroom.

Belby put the metal cage in the corner, and a low "chirp" sound came from inside. Neville, who was walking in front, shrank back, fearing that the contents would fly by his ears. To the ceiling.

"Guess what?" Harry asked.

"It sounds a bit like a raccoon dog." Ron guessed.

"But cats and raccoons should appear on Care of Magical Creatures, they are not dangerous." Hermione said.

"I just hope it's not Acromantula." Ron said hopefully. When he thought that Hagrid had stocked a group of Acromantula in the Forbidden Forest, he couldn't help but want to knock on his thick skull to see if he was What do you think.

This news was the secret revealed by Hagrid when they were chasing the Chamber of Secrets monster. When he later saw the photo information about Acromantula found by Hermione, he had always been concerned about it.

"He even gave it a name—Aragog!"

Belby looked at the classroom affectionately, and he recalled the scene when he was in school—though not It was too good, because he was not very gregarious at the time.

He introduced himself again: "Many people may not know me well. My name is Damocles Bellby. I have some research on potion, but I teach you Defense Against the Dark Arts. It is also completely qualified."

"To some extent, I still have certain advantages. I read the Second Year textbook, you need to learn some anti-evil spells, and learn how to deal with some low-risk correctly. The magic creatures, and I happened to know them very well when I was cooking potion..."

He said a cold what a joke. From the effect, the young wizards were indeed frozen.

Ron quietly said to Harry: "I guess Hagrid won't like him." But he suddenly had an idea, and wanted to introduce Aragog to the new professor.

Harry agreed with this. If anyone dared to use his "cute" as potion material, he would go crazy.

After introducing himself, Bellby checked the list and remembered the names of the young wizard one by one.

"Milison Bosd."

"Neville ·Longbottom."

……

"Ronald ·Weasley."

After finishing the call, the young wizards raised their hands curiously to ask questions. They have obtained various true and false news in advance——

"Professor, you get Order of Merlin?"

"Yes, just this month."

"Are you a potions grandmaster?"

"This is someone My comment."

"What is a wolfbane potion?"

"A potion that relieves werewolf full moon symptoms."

"Who are you and Professor Snape Stronger?" This was a question from Gryffindor, and the other half of Slytherin glared at him.

"Well... the research direction is different, there is no comparative meaning."

After a few minutes, Bellby realized that this group of young wizards should not be allowed to diverge. Asked, they seemed to want to find Snape heads-up to compete for the title of Hogwarts' first potions grandmaster.

Belby cleared his throat and said: "Today, let’s review what we have learned, Red Cap. I will ask a few questions. If you answer correctly, you can get extra points—"

"Professor!"

A young wizard interrupted him, "What is Red Cap?"

Belby was a little startled, "Uh...Red Cap is a kind of Similar to magical creatures of dwarfs, they are distributed in northern Europe, etc.!" He looked at the confused expression below, "Have you never learned Red Cap?"

The answer to him was a uniform shaking of his head And sigh.

Belby stopped, he felt something bad, he called a student, "What have you all learned?"

Seamus Finnigan stood up and said something unclear. The words: "Professor, we learned to play Vampire." He unbuttoned the outer wizard robe as a cloak, licked his teeth, and made a noble expression of aloof and remote.

Many young wizards laughed.

"Well, this is very interesting, but it is not the answer I want."

Finally, Hermione raised her hand to introduce their learning this year to this not knowing what to The new professor of do.

"So, except for the little Goblin in the first class, you don't have any practical lessons?" Bellby was completely dumbfounded.

I did inquire about this course and I was mentally prepared, but no one told him that there is no practical part in the dignified Defense Against the Dark Arts course?

After almost half a minute, he came back to his senses, "Well, then we, uh... Then we will learn Red Cap today."

He waved the wand and lifted the curtain on the cage.

The creature in the cage shocked them. This is a short, skinny creature. Except for the red hair on the top of the head, the other exposed skin gives people a dirty look. It's dark brown.

"You can take a closer look." Bellby said.

The young wizards approached boldly, and looked at this fierce-looking creature——

They huddled in their cages, moved towards young wizards, grinning with teeth, one of them Red Cap suddenly hit the metal cage with magic with his claws, but this was in vain.

"peng!"

But the young wizards were still taken aback.

Harry clearly saw that its claws were very exaggerated, completely out of proportion to the body, and the nails were at least an inch and a half.

The voice of Bellby’s explanation came: "Have you noticed their claws? I think someone has noticed. Their forelimbs are very flexible and can use simple tools, such as branches, sticks and stones. Kind of."

"Red Cap will be attracted by blood. If they encounter a muggle or young wizard in the wild, they will sneak attack behind them. Today we learn how to deal with them—— "
