"Remus, why did you become a professor?"
"Dumbledore really couldn't find anyone. You should know that Mr. Quentin Trimble is hospitalized in St. Mungo's and will not be discharged for at least two or three months. If he is lucky... so he found me."
"Do you know the legend of this position?"
"Are you talking about a curse? Of course I've heard of it. After all, when we were in school, this position was replaced every year."
"Then why do you still come to this muddy water?"
"It's not just wading into troubled waters to help Dumbledore. Moreover, I have long wanted to come back for a visit. The seven years here have been the best time in my life. Of course, I will get better and better in the future. of."
Lupine smiled very happily. The wolfsbane potion Ted brought him almost gave him a second life.
Although it was funded by Sirius before, it was not bad in Muggle society. But every full moon night, the uncontrollability was like a knife, stabbing his heart repeatedly.
it's good now! He finally didn't have to worry about losing control. Even people have become more confident and their lives have become more positive.
Otherwise, given his previous personality, Tonks would not have been allowed to "intern" with him.
Seeing Ted's frown, he added: "Don't worry, not every Defense Against the Dark Arts professor will be unlucky enough to die or be injured. We discovered a secret at the beginning. Many professors will teach for almost a year. Leave directly when the time comes, so that the curse will not be triggered. Only those who do not believe in evil will be unlucky~"
"All right……"
Ted didn't know what to say. He said that this curse would become more severe after Voldemort was resurrected? Even if you just cheated, you might die?
The future is not unchangeable, and neither is the curse. It all depends on human effort!
…
Soon, Ted's first Defense Against the Dark Arts class began.
Because it has been delayed for more than a week, the four colleges have classes together to catch up.
Lu Ping looked at the students who were somewhat excited and eager to try, and showed a gentle smile: "Students, I have seen the lesson plans of the previous two years... It is a shame, I'm afraid we have to start from scratch."
"For some reason, your teaching progress in the first two years was very limited, and the teaching content was scattered. We have to work harder to catch up."
"Okay, don't open the textbook in a hurry. Although I don't want to say this, the textbooks you are reading are somewhat outdated."
Lupine spoke in a confident but gentle manner: "Did you know that in the past ten years, the number of new magical creatures and magical beings discovered in the magical world has reached a quarter of the number in the past five hundred years? one!"
"And most of your textbooks have been published for ten years."
"Some not-so-good news. Before I came to class, I inquired about the policies of the Wizarding Examination Bureau of the Ministry of Magic through my friends. It is said that they have planned to reform the .Ls examination in two years' time, saying that they will make large-scale changes. The scope and content of the topic..."
He pointed out his hand and then circled, "Just right, you are the first batch."
The little wizards on the seats suddenly let out a sigh, feeling that all their strength was being drained.
Originally, I studied the Defense Against the Dark Arts classes in a daze and half-hearted manner in the first two years. However, the unified examination will be reformed two years later. I have to be the first batch of experimental mice. How come I am so unlucky!
When Neville thought that he was going to get a "T (extremely poor/troll)" in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class in his Ls exam, he started to get nervous.
Ron was also nervous for a moment, but he was fine the next second.
Destroy it, I'm tired.
Anyway, it doesn’t stop me from eating chicken legs, so whatever!
You see, Ron cured his own internal friction in three seconds~
Seeing the low morale of the young wizards, Lu Ping quickly made up for it: "Of course, don't be too nervous. Although the first batch was a bit sudden, the people in the examination bureau will not be so ruthless and will definitely reduce the difficulty appropriately. In short, it’s not too late to start working hard now.”
"Okay, let's get down to business, let's start the class! The content of our first lesson is: how to distinguish what is a human and what is a magical creature..."
What is a "person" and what is a "magical creature"?
The Minister of Magic of a previous generation once defined: Anyone who walks on two legs is a human being.
As a result, the goblins were looking for trouble, and a group of chickens, ducks and geese arrived the next day.
And centaurs have four legs, mermaids have no legs! How to calculate this?
Later, another Minister of Magic redefined it: anyone who can speak human language is a human being.
The next day the goblins came to wreak havoc again, bringing with them a group of trolls.
Although the trolls have low intelligence, they do have some ability to speak simple words.
It was not until 1811 that Grogan Stamp was appointed Minister of Magic. Grogan Stamp in particular redefined man and beast.
He believed that a human being was "any creature with sufficient intelligence to understand the laws of magical society and to assume some of the responsibility for the creation of those laws."
At this point, the debate in the wizarding world that began in the 14th century is settled.
Grogan Stamp established three departments within the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures: the Office of Aliens, Beasts and later the Ghost Office.
It is worth mentioning that many humanoids are not reproductively isolated from humans.
For example, Veela, giants (on the importance of expansion spells), goblins, house elves ("Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them 2") and so on. However, the Ministry of Magic strictly prohibits the use of wands by non-human beings.
Even though the Ministry of Magic often seems to be a loser, in this case, the Ministry of Magic's ban is as strong as China's ban on guns!
This also illustrates from the side how dangerous the wand-wielding goblins in the Goblin Resistance Army are.
They are the ones who have their heads stuck in their waistbands, licking the blood with the tip of a knife. So when it's time to take action, it's really time to take action!
The types of magical creatures were finalized five years ago and are still a temporary measure. They are roughly divided into: animals, plants, insects, magical beasts, humanoid monsters, spirits, undead monsters, constructs, elemental creatures, aberrations, Monsters, dragons...
There are so many types, because the more you break it down, the more complex the types become. It’s a bit like the number of genders in the West.
It's obvious that Lu Ping attaches great importance to being a teacher. Compared to the first two professors, he is much more serious - he prepares lessons in detail, the content is super practical, and he does a lot of work.
Let's put it this way, in this class alone, Ted gave five or six examples of typical monsters that Ted had never heard of.
It seems that he has been doing well in recent years.
Although he works as a detective in the Muggle society, he is quite familiar with the changes in the magical world.
Also, since nothing happened to Sirius, he must take care of his only remaining good friend.
After one class, the little wizards' evaluation of Lupine skyrocketed.
After two consecutive years of screwing up professors, they couldn't even believe that there was such a good Defense Against the Dark Arts professor?
This is simply the perfect professor!
In the following week, the little wizards were immersed in studying hard.
Hermione also unexpectedly gained the appreciation of Bathsheda Bablin, the professor of magic literature.
As I said before, this professor was a bit of a part-time employee and didn't like to take care of things, so he promoted Hermione to "Magic Text Class Representative", responsible for sending, receiving and correcting homework and other things.
Now she can be said to have entered the selection process for student council prefects ahead of schedule!
September 19th soon arrived, Hermione's birthday.
Ted gave her a comb that can automatically comb the cat's hair. Because it is inlaid with a piece of malachite, it is very beautiful, so Meowth likes it very much and has to hold it while sleeping.
During this time, Ted also taught his friends the alien knowledge "Breath of Fire" in his mind, but everyone's progress was very limited.
Besides Ted, only Neville felt something. , following the rhythm of breathing can strengthen the body, while other friends are still in the exploratory stage.
After all, this thing is outside the magic system, and the thinking mode is different.
The reason why Neville is able to do something famous is because he is relatively "simple".
Smart people like Harry and Hermione think a lot, want to explain, and want to pursue. But Ron and Jerry didn't work hard enough.
Only Neville doesn't have any distracting thoughts, and he doesn't care about the principle or whether it is reasonable or not. He just breathes and exhales, and he can persist in it, and it has an effect.
The most obvious thing is that during the morning exercise, Ted and Neville have now started running a lap around the Black Lake, and they can complete it within 30 minutes, which is better than the results of ordinary professional long-distance runners!
Ted's physique now exceeds that of the average adult. And Neville is really not a fool. He is only 13 years old and already 176 centimeters tall. He already looks like a young man when he puts on a suit!
Neville felt that by maintaining this breathing method, his heart and lungs were strong, and he could run for more than ten kilometers without feeling out of breath at all!
On the contrary, my whole body felt warm and very comfortable!
The more I run, the happier I am, and the more I breathe, the happier I am!
After all, this is an idealistic magical world. Under this mentality, the Breath of Fire has slowly undergone special changes...
