Hogwarts: I have graduated before the system came

Douglas walked slowly to the center of the stone platform.

There was a gradual silence in the auditorium, including ghosts hiding behind the crowd, or in corners.

Everyone looked excitedly at the center of the stage.

Of course, the dozen or so seventh graders who were preparing for the exam seemed very nervous, and they tried their best to calm themselves down.

Douglas used a loud voice on himself to make sure everyone could hear him.

"Professors, students, and ghosts, good evening everyone!

Please allow me to say a few words before the exam begins! "

"Clap clap clap!"

As soon as the words fell, the students below applauded.

"Defense Against the Dark Arts is a seven-year course that accompanies you...

Of course, after the end of the fifth grade owls exam, most people may not choose this course for various reasons...

The content of Defense Against the Dark Arts can be summed up in one sentence: to teach you how to face natural and man-made disasters in the wizarding world.

The content of the students in the lower grades mainly revolves around black magic creatures, generally speaking, those black magic that exist in nature, which are natural disasters.

Starting from the fourth grade, what you study revolves around how to face dark wizards, this is a man-made disaster...

Some students who like to think will always ask some questions after studying what black magic is in the fourth grade.

Hexes, poisonous curses, and curses all belong to black magic, so why do we still learn some jinxes, poisonous curses, and even some curses in teaching.

Even the school library doesn't seem to be in the Restricted Section for some dark magic spells...

I'm glad someone has this question...

This involves the core of the Defense Against the Dark Arts course, whether it is dealing with black magic or dark wizards.

In this class, you will learn how to spot the dark magic, how to deal with it, how to use it and how to deal with the dark wizard...  

Although many people in the magic world are opposed to black magic, it is clear that except for a few spells in black magic, other things cannot be equated with illegality...

However, the reputation of black magic is indeed not very good, but it cannot be completely equated with evil magic. After all, it is the wizard who casts the spell, and it is closely related to the user and the purpose of the user..."

With Douglas' voice sounded.

The professors and some senior students gradually frowned.

Thinking about the question Douglas mentioned.

It's not that what Douglas said is so advanced, it's actually some remarks that people have summed up.

Even some words are written in the textbooks in a grand manner.

What the professors were thinking about was what Douglas's attitude towards black arts was as a defense against the dark arts.

Especially in such a large audience, such remarks are made.

After all, it is to promote black magic, there is no right and wrong in advocating magic, only people can distinguish between good and bad.

Or have some other purpose.

Even Dumbledore stared at Douglas closely.

There is nothing wrong with wizards pursuing power, but if they are obsessed with black magic because of their pursuit of power.

Especially for a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, that was no small disaster for the magic world.

The lower grade students complained.

"Didn't you just say a few words?"

"I put down my homework to watch the duel!"

Regardless of what the people below thought, Douglas continued to talk about the manuscript he had already prepared.

"...

Therefore, the ultimate goal of our study of this course is to deal with those people...

Especially after the owls exam, students who can still choose this course,

basically holding on to the Ultimate Wizarding Exam (newt)

Get a good grade in the middle school, and then finally be able to walk into the Ministry of Magic and choose a dream position.

And many positions in the Ministry of Magic require dealing with unruly people...

In the end, I hope that the students who graduate from me can shine in the magic world! "

(In order not to let everyone say that I am water, I have deleted a lot of prepared materials. Emphasize that this sentence is not water!)

Sparse applause sounded from below,

In a few simple sentences, Douglas spoke for almost 15 minutes.

If it weren't for the presence of other professors, some students might have sneaked away.

In the end, Principal Dumbledore was quite satisfied with Douglas' speech.

Did not express any bad thoughts, but very objectively described the status quo of black magic in the magic world.

What are the consequences of using some powerful black magic...

In short, he is a qualified Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher.

After Douglas finished speaking, he gave Dumbledore a look.

The manuscript he prepared was originally intended for Dumbledore to talk about, but the other party didn't even read it and refused it directly.

Therefore, he had no choice but to assign the job of announcing the start of the exam to the leader.

To show his respect for the leader.

Dumbledore smiled, stood up from his seat, and winked at everyone:

"Oh, Professor Holmes has to say a few words, it's really very simple!

Well, I won't waste your time.

I announce that the first monthly exam of the seventh grade Defense Against the Dark Arts begins now.

For the content of the test, everyone can stand under the hands of Professor Holmes for 5 minutes. Of course, it would be better if any of you can beat him.

At the same time, except for illegal spells, you can use any spells you have learned.

Everyone has one chance to fail!

Other students should not get too close to the examination site, so as not to be accidentally injured by magic.

The professors and I will take care of everyone's safety! "

Dumbledore finished.

Everyone laughed.

This laughter also dissipated a lot of tension in the candidates' hearts.

I saw Mario Nott, the chairman of the male student union next to Professor Snape and a seventh-grade Defense Against the Dark Arts student, stand up directly.

From the nearest steps to the center of the stage, he drew out his wand and looked at Douglas,

Prepared to wait for the other party to announce the start of the duel, so that he could show his elegant duel etiquette that he had practiced privately for a long time in front of everyone.

Douglas raised his wand suddenly and said after seeing the other party walk to the position, the corners of his mouth slightly raised:

"This wand is eleven inches in length. I used it myself in those days. The famous wand maker Ollivander carefully crafted it. He waved the wand to promote righteousness, and chanted mantras to bring God's power..."

???

Everyone is dumbfounded!

Especially those who have learned dueling etiquette, they asked each other in doubt whether the rules have been changed recently?

But it sounds so amazing!

They didn't notice the expressions of the four deans.

Professor Snape almost rushed to Douglas and shouted:

"You bastard, you still play this hand against students..."

The other three deans didn't even look at the next scene...

Mario Nott, who was standing opposite Douglas, froze in place, not knowing whether he should perform the duel ceremony or not.

Blinked at Douglas.

"Professor, you haven't taught this!"

Seeing that Douglas ignored him, he had no choice but to imitate Douglas, raised his wand and said:

"This wand is... ah!"

As soon as the voice started, I heard "Disarm you!"

Then he saw a red light flying towards him.

Before he could react, he saw the wand in his hand flying into Douglas' hand,

And I was under a huge impact.

Flying towards the back of the stage...

If it weren't for Professor Flitwick's quick eyesight and quick hands, he cast a spell to catch him, so that he could barely stand on the ground.

Then he was appointed to hit the wall and make a big fool of himself.

Mario Nott, who fell to the ground, was extremely angry.

He didn't care about the other party's status as a professor, and there were other professors around him.

Roaring at Douglas:

"You have no manners!

Engage in a sneak attack..."

Many students also agreed with his words very much, thinking that Professor Holmes was really too much.

Actually engaged in a sneak attack!

Douglas looked at him coldly.

"Mr Nott, I never said it was a duel.

As I have said before, this is a battle.

Don't tell me, when you face an evil dark wizard, will you first show him your dueling etiquette?

You, including you, must remember today's scene when you face those evil wizards in the future.

Subdue the other party first, and ensure your own safety, and then say something that you rely on your identity.

Haven't you heard a saying, the villain dies because of talking too much! "

The professors frowned, but said nothing more.

Douglas had specifically watched it before, as long as there was no danger in this exam.

They must not intervene in other things.

Avoid interfering with his teaching schedule.

(Professors here do not include Professor Snape, whose sallow complexion is almost black.

If eyes could cast spells, Douglas would have been divided into many pieces by Shenfeng Wuying. )

Although Douglas said it very bluntly, there is nothing wrong with it in some places in the magic world.

Those evil dark wizards don't care if you're from the Ministry of Magic, or a pure-blood family...

There is nothing wrong with letting students know the darkness of the wizarding world in advance.

Mario Nott is not stupid to be the leader of Slytherin and Hogwarts.

Although I think what Douglas said is somewhat reasonable,

But still in anger, he was still unconvinced and said with a little sneer:

"You also spoke just now, and you said it first...

Are you..."

Douglas heard the meaning of the other party's words, but out of understanding of the other party's current emotions, Douglas did not blame him.

"Obviously, you haven't heard the other word.

Only a powerful teacher of justice is qualified to speak first...

Unless you feel as powerful as Headmaster Dumbledore or any of the professors present.

I don't think you need to take action, any villain will calm down and listen to your reasoning..."

Douglas shrugged, anyway, you are the villain, so what!

The other students gradually came to their senses, thinking about what Douglas said.

After someone from Gryffindor reacted, they applauded collectively.

I don’t know if I think Douglas said it well,

Better beat up Slytherin.

Douglas, as a professor, is it okay to target Slytherins like this?

He has his own judgment,

In his opinion, the sixth grade in Slytherin still has a chance, and the lower grades can be subtly influenced.

But this group of seventh graders has already been infiltrated by black magic in their bones.

It cannot be said that they will definitely harm one party after they go out.

But the situation in the next few years made him have to think carefully.

Therefore, for this seventh year of Slytherin, he always showed the spells that specifically restrained the dark arts.

It is implied that these spells can only be learned by those who have not practiced the Dark Arts, and that he is willing to pass them on to Hogwarts students.

In this way, they can somewhat have more scruples when they choose a camp in the future.

Even if you don't choose Dumbledore's side, you should consider the combat power here.

It is also possible to have a few more fools on the wall at critical moments.

As for this Mario Nott, his uncle was a famous Death Eater.

Still the current leader of Slytherin,

Of course it is his best object of standing up.
