Christmas Eve passed, and soon the holidays came as scheduled.
Since there were two more students from other schools this year, many young wizards in Hogwarts chose to stay in school to spend the holidays.
"Professor Moody, here we come."
The door to the professor's dormitory was pushed open, and Harry and Dudley walked in.
The familiar ceiling with slightly scorched marks on the top of the head and the huge suitcase placed in the center are still the dormitory where 'Fake Moody' lives.
After Moody saw the two men, he immediately put down what he was doing.
The Defense Against the Dark Arts class started as scheduled.
This was Dudley's previous request.
Learning is the only way to learn and cannot stagnate
After all, they were lifesavers, and Dudley and Harry were indeed excellent, and Moody was willing to teach them both.
He readily agreed to the request.
"I have to say that you two are really outstanding. You can be said to be the best wizards of your age that I have ever seen. Even those graduates are far inferior to you."
Moody's generous praise is not a compliment. With his character, he rarely praises others unless he truly feels so.
Let’s take a look at the advanced magic spells these two master.
Even Moody was shocked when he first learned about it. He must have just finished learning the spells that Aurors should learn.
Especially under the guidance of fake Moody, both of them have considerable attainments in black magic.
"You guys are really impeccable in terms of offense."
Being able to master even Li Huo can no longer be explained simply by being good, as Moody said, it is impeccable.
Moody said and took out his wand, which was the one that fake Moody had before, but he had it corrected by Ollivander.
"What I'm going to teach you is a defensive spell."
The movements and demeanor of the real Moody are almost the same as those of the fake Moody, but there are obvious differences in the teaching methods.
Although they are all Defense Against the Dark Arts classes, Fake Moody's content is full of aggression.
Take counter-spells as an example. Although Fake Moody also teaches counter-spells, he teaches others more about how to counterattack the opponent's spell as quickly as possible and subdue the opponent with one blow without worrying about it. Whether the other party is injured.
There is not much difference in front of the real Moody, but it depends on whether the opponent is injured. An extra one can only be used under special circumstances when necessary.
Even though there are just a few more words, the meaning is completely different.
In fact, this is easy to understand. Moody is just Mad-Eye Moody with a strange temper, not a bloodthirsty Mad-Eye Moody.
He is only responsible for catching dark wizards, not killing them.
After all, he was an Auror, not a Death Eater.
It is precisely because of this that he had so many injuries and even lost a leg.
The magical potion can make even bones grow overnight. A mere leg can only mean that it is caused by an irreversible curse.
"I assume you are all quite proficient in the Iron Armor Curse, right?"
The two nodded. The Iron Armor Curse is a magic spell that everyone in the discipline group knows. Basically, they will cast the Iron Armor Curse on themselves based on conditioned reflex.
Moody nodded with satisfaction. Being able to master the Iron Armor Curse freely was considered a basic condition for becoming an Auror.
In fact, although this magic is the most basic protective spell, many wizards only started learning it when they became Aurors.
This stuff does not belong to the content of teaching textbooks, but belongs to the category of self-study.
It’s not difficult to learn for beginners, but it’s quite difficult if you want to master it.
Especially the upgraded version of the Iron Armor Curse, the enhanced version of the Iron Armor Curse, that spell is much more difficult.
Especially the upgraded version of the Iron Armor Curse, the enhanced version of the Iron Armor Curse, that spell is much more difficult.
What Moody was going to teach the two of them today was this enhanced version of the Iron Armor Curse.
"The spell of the curse is super armor protection."
Moody waved his wand and cast an advanced version of the Iron Armor Curse on himself.
Even though there are only two more words, the difficulty is many times higher than before.
The benefits are also obvious, and the protective effect is also several times that of the Iron Armor Curse.
It's a very practical magic spell.
Dudley and Harry spent a lot of time just learning this spell, and this was even if they had a foundation in the Iron Armor Curse.
In the days that followed, Moody also taught the two many other practical spells.
For example, the range-type defensive spell of Total Protection can also be said to be a variant branch of the Iron Armor Curse.
There are also impregnable auxiliary spells that can enhance the protective properties of the armor spell.
"Total protection + impregnability can make your protection range wider and your protection level stronger."
"A very practical spell."
The two were like sponges, constantly absorbing the knowledge imparted by Moody.
In terms of age alone, Moody and Hagrid are similar in age, but the latter is a hybrid giant and his lifespan is different from that of normal humans. Therefore, Hagrid looks like he is in his thirties or forties, but is actually over 70 years old. years of retirement age.
Moody, who is 70 years old, is probably a wizard of the same period as Lao Futou.
His knowledge goes without saying.
Time quickly came to February, which was the day approaching the second game of the Triwizard Tournament.
Hogwarts' Dursley was far ahead with an absolute advantage, and the warriors from the other two schools were secretly holding their breath. They wanted to regain their place in this second game.
"The second game is about underwater activities. Have you found a way, Harry?"
In the Gryffindor lounge, a flame shaped like Sirius' head burst out of the fireplace again.
Harry was sitting on a chair writing a paper about Potions. Due to Dalinar's behavior of making magic soup in Potions from time to time, Snape simply didn't bother to pay attention to him, causing his attention to be lost recently. In Harry's case, the requirements were naturally more stringent. He answered Sirius's question while biting the pen barrel: "I have several methods, including head soaking spells, underwater breathing spells, water potions and gillweed."
"As expected of James' child, I was still worried. I didn't expect you to have found so many ways."
Sirius said heartily.
However, Harry, who was being praised, didn't seem to like these words of praise very much.
Especially the one who deserves to be James' child.
Harry has grown up and has the ability to distinguish right from wrong. No matter how excellent Sirius described his father, Harry saw a Quidditch with his father's name written on it in the prize room at Hogwarts. Nothing was found except the strange trophy.
On the contrary, after knowing his father's past behaviors on campus, he didn't have a good impression of him.
What Dudley hates most is school bullying, but his father is a school bully, and his respected potions teacher Professor Snape is actually the target of bullying.
There was even a time when Harry didn't know how to face the Potions Professor.
Harry interrupted Sirius's tirade: "I want to know what he would do if it were Brother D."
