It's just a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.

Chapter 237 Unforgivable Curse

Fortunately, not long after the official class started, Harry and the others ushered in the first Defense Against the Dark Arts class of the fourth grade.

Sherlock's classroom is always something to look forward to, and the way he teaches varies from year to year.

And from the fourth grade, they will be officially exposed to the truly evil black magic.

Before the class started, the students in the classroom were still discussing about the Triwizard Tournament.

There is still more than a month before the official start of the competition, but all the students can't wait, they can't wait for the time to turn quickly, and it will fast forward to October soon.

After Sherlock walked into the classroom, he also clearly noticed the restlessness among the students.

Not only these fourth-grade students, but also other little wizards. The holding of the Triwizard Tournament added some new colors to this year's Hogwarts, and it also made the students study hard. The state of mind has become a lot more impetuous.

"Let's not say that the competition has not officially started yet. You are all fourth-grade students, and you don't even have anyone over 16 years old, so don't have any illusions about participating in the competition."

Before the class started, Sherlock poured cold water on them.

"I don't know who the referee Dumbledore invited is yet, but even if you pull a fool from the street, he can recognize that a fourth-year little wizard can't be 17 years old, let alone Dumbledore. I’ll find a fool. So you’d better keep your feet on the ground, fourth-grade students won’t have the chance to participate in the competition, you just need to be a spectator at ease this year, and you shouldn’t be left behind in your studies.”

His words brought the students in the classroom back to reality for a while.

Of course, it's just a slight regression. When this class is over, they will probably reveal their true colors again. After the Triwizard Tournament has completely determined the candidate, the novelty will pass and they will see the reality clearly.

And just after he finished speaking, Harry probed his head and whispered to Ron Hermione.

"If it was before, I might still think that it is really impossible for fourth-grade students to be selected, but after Professor Forrest finished speaking, there is nothing impossible."

Hermione flatly denied.

"Probability, don't talk about Professor Forrest's crow's mouth regardless of probability. Under normal circumstances, what is the probability that the "referee" will select an unqualified student? Not even one percent, Forrest Professor Sturt's crow's mouth is not that strong, so there is no such possibility."

Ron said somewhat unwillingly.

"What if? What if the fourth grade students are really selected?"

Hermione rolled her eyes.

"There is no such case! You just give up your heart! Take classes well, and now you are in the fourth grade. Think about how Mrs. Weasley would cry when you didn't take home a single certificate in the fifth grade." !"

Among the three of them, Hermione was the one who could always maintain her sanity. After pulling Harry and Ron's imagination back, the three of them returned their attention to the classroom.

"The fourth grade is a dividing line in your seven years of magic learning. From this year onwards, whether it's a spell class or a transformation class, you must really start to get in touch with advanced magic knowledge."

"If you can learn magic from the first to third grades as long as you put your heart into it, then starting from the fourth grade, a small amount of knowledge is not so simple and understandable."

"So before the class starts, let me remind you that I don't want any students to fall behind in their studies this semester because of the competition. I don't require everyone to master those obscure and incomprehensible magic knowledge, But what can be learned normally should not be a problem for your exams."

When he said this, Sherlock's expression was very serious. After confirming that every student below had entered the state, and began to listen to his lecture seriously, his expression relaxed a little.

"From the fourth grade, the Defense Against the Dark Arts class will be officially exposed to those real black arts. In fact, it used to be until the sixth grade, but in the fifth grade ordinary wizard level exam, there has already been a part about these content questions."

"So last year, I proposed to Dumbledore to advance the teaching progress of the defense class a little bit, and this year, in this class, we will officially start to get to know those who are notorious in the wizarding world." Dark magic."

The students in the classroom restrained their breathing subconsciously.

There are plenty of little wizards who know what real black magic means, something very different from so-called dark magic beings like Red Riding Hood.

There were even a few students who came from wizarding families since they were young. After hearing what Sherlock was going to teach them, their faces paled a lot.

Their reactions were exactly what Sherlock expected.

It was his and Dumbledore's decision to expose students to knowledge about black magic in advance.

Starting this year, the future wizarding world will become more and more dangerous. Hogwarts, which has always been trusted by parents and called the safest place in the wizarding world, is the center of this vortex.

Introducing students to this aspect of magical knowledge earlier would at least enable them to distinguish dangers, so that they would not be ignorant when dangers came.

Looking at the performance of the students under the podium, Sherlock asked calmly.

"So, can anyone tell me what is the most famous and evil black magic in the wizarding world?"

Right after his question was asked, the classroom was still silent, until a few seconds later, a few trembling arms were raised.

Sherlock clicked on Ron from among the students.

"Three Unforgivable Curses, Professor."

His voice was very small, as if he was taboo about something.

Sherlock nodded slightly.

"Very well, Ron, but you don't need to be afraid of anything. No one is pointing a wand at you now. You can boldly say what you know. For example, do you know which three Unforgivable Curses refer to?"

Ron seemed to be emboldened, and his voice became louder.

"I heard my father once mentioned one of them, called the Imperius Curse."

"It's good enough to know one of them, so can someone tell me what the remaining two spells are?"

Hermione was the only one in the class who raised his arm, but Sherlock keenly noticed that Neville, who was sitting in the corner, hesitated as if he wanted to raise his hand, but in the end he gave up.

In the end, it was Hermione who stood up and answered the question.

"And the Cruciatus Curse and the Killing Curse, Professor."
