The dementors outside Hogwarts Castle evacuated with the arrest of Peter Pettigrew. They returned to Azkaban, performing their duties of guarding the prisoners. The weather returned to what it was before. Although it is still sunny one second and pouring rain the next, at least it is not rainy all the time.
Lu Ping, who had mastered the method of transforming back into a human being, was full of energy and worked harder to teach the young wizards.
"Today's Defense Against the Dark Arts class is about how to deal with black magic - Oolong attack."
The content of the study also began to gradually change from black magic creatures to the confrontation of black magic.
After all, the number of dark magic creatures is limited. Lupine can only get 4X level if he fights to the death. Dark magic creatures of 5X level are beyond the scope of Lupine's ability, such as the Voldemort Bat Lupine who has a Chinese name similar to Voldemort. Just can't get it for now.
The number of this thing is so rare that the wizarding world is already considering whether to include this creature in the list of extinct magical creatures.
The basilisk was almost included before.
Learning how to fight against black magic is also the focus and core content of the Defense Against Dark Arts course. It is divided into two sections, one is the confrontation when black magic is cast, and the other is the removal of black magic after it takes effect.
Let’s start with the first section, which is about confrontation when casting black magic. In fact, a more accurate point is the defense when casting magic.
In ordinary people's understanding, where there is black there is white, so the spell to combat black magic should be white magic.
But in fact, although there is black magic in the wizarding world, there is no such thing as white magic.
In the wizarding world, spells that can protect against black magic are collectively called - Guardian Charms.
The Patronus Charm is one of the higher spells. The ancient spell that Lily used to protect Harry at the cost of her life can also be placed in the category of the Patronus Charm.
Of course, the battle will change as the situation changes, and there is no specific battle mode.
If your magic is strong enough, you don't need a guardian spell at all, and you can even use 'Expelliarmus' as a means of attack and defense.
Under Lupine's guidance, the little wizards learned many different types of protective spells.
The second section, the removal of black magic after it takes effect.
What's involved here is the counterspell.
Most spells have counter-spells, even black magic. An excellent master of defense against black magic needs to be proficient in these spells.
For example, a powerful black magic such as Shen Feng Wu Ying will bleed out once hit by this spell, and the wound will be very difficult to heal. Its counter-spell is - rapid healing.
Injuries caused by black magic (jinxes) are very difficult to treat if you don’t know the counter-spells.
So although there are potions that can regenerate bones, there are still people who lose their legs and hands because they can't find what kind of black magic they have been hit by, and they can't find a counter-curse.
Of course, being hit by many black magic spells at the same time will cause mutations, which will make it more difficult to treat.
It is worth mentioning that counter-spell is not the closing of a valve, and black magic is not the opening switch of a valve, but a kind of retrospection of the previously released spell.
It is the best and most effective way to undo the damage caused by black magic.
It can be said that every excellent black magic defense master is a counter-curse master and a defense master.
The little wizards greedily absorbed the knowledge imparted by Lupine, and their learning progress was so fast that it was jaw-dropping.
Even Lu Ping himself said that if he taught them for another year or two, he might be able to squeeze out all the knowledge he had.
With Dudley and the discipline team around, the third years of Hogwarts couldn't do their homework.
Not only the subject of Defense Against the Dark Arts, every subject was tested, but even the fifth graders who were preparing for the .Ls exam were surpassed by this group of third graders who were studying crazily.
In the Care of Magical Creatures class, other little wizards were immersed in the joy of observing unicorns, and Hagrid quietly pulled Dudley aside.
"Dudley, I have successfully bred the third generation of carnivorous slugs with shells."
A new batch of carnivorous slugs have once again been successfully bred under the cultivation of the master of magical beast hybrids, and now a new generation has hatched.
Hagrid looked overjoyed, his fascination with magical beasts reaching unimaginable proportions.
Especially the feeling of cultivating a new species by himself was simply wonderful to him.
"The shells on their bodies are fully equipped with defensive properties. I think they should be able to achieve what you want."
As he spoke, Hagrid opened the wooden box to show Dudley his results. The shelled carnivorous slugs had grown to four or five times their original size, a little larger than a normal human hand.
This third generation of shelled carnivorous slugs has basically broken away from the category of carnivorous slugs and is developing into a completely new species.
"How's it going? Not bad, right? Oh, right, there's good news. The manticore finally succeeded in impregnating several fire crabs. I think they will be able to give birth to another one in a while. New species. What kind of baby will it be? I can’t wait.”
Hagrid said even more excitedly. Compared to carnivorous slugs with shells, he was more satisfied with pregnant fire crabs.
Perhaps because of the giant blood in his body, Hagrid would instinctively get close to dangerous creatures. The more dangerous the species, the cuter he finds it.
In addition, as a hybrid giant with rough skin and thick flesh, not to mention extremely high physical defense and extremely high physical attack, Hagrid can suppress 99% of magical creatures with pure physical strength. The beasts in the Forbidden Forest have Almost every one of them was beaten by him.
Otherwise, why do you think he brings new magical creatures in every class, and most of them are ferocious magical creatures.
"Phone Bug"
"What?"
Hagrid, who was in a state of excitement, didn't hear clearly.
"From now on, these carnivorous slugs with shells will be called telephone bugs. This is my new name for them."
Dudley picked up a telephone bug and observed it carefully. Under Dudley's close gaze, the telephone bug seemed to feel great danger. The whole bug shrank into its shell and refused to come out.
After weighing it in the hand for a few times, these magical snails with teeth are ready to be transformed into real phone bugs.
As for whether it can be successful, we will have to wait until it is transformed.
"Telephone bugs? What a strange name? I was originally going to call them Keke."
Hearing this, Hagrid's face was filled with regret.
"What's a Dudley phone?"
It wasn't Dudley's illusion. He always felt that since he defeated Hagrid, this guy was very interested in him, and more often than not he would even take the initiative to please him.
I don’t know where the inexplicable feeling of closeness comes from.
I don't seem to have the ability to draw any giant affinity.
