Chapter 425

Whether Harry and Hermione would listen to him or not, Solim didn't know, but according to what Solim knew about them, most of them wouldn't, even if they stopped a few classes because of what they just said, but sooner or later they would explode in Umbridge's class—sooner or later.

However, Solim's mind was completely off Harry's mind right now, and as soon as he and Draco came downstairs, they saw a large group of students gathered around the board and discussing loudly, and the whole scene was chaotic.

Oh my God, you're not going to make any education now, are you?" Solim muttered to himself, and Draco squeezed into the crowd - at this point Solim and Draco began to miss Goyle and Crabbe, and if those two big guys were there, they wouldn't have had to work so hard.

"What's going on?" Draco tugged at Solim's school bag, otherwise he would have been squeezed out of the crowd by now.

Finally squeezing to the front, Solim began to look for sensational text on the billboards, which were filled with leaflets of the students' own little clubs and the prohibitions of Filch's post. Still, Solim quickly found what he was looking for:

It's about Karkarov, and now it's time to call him "Professor Karkarov". Dumbledore did make good on his promise and found Karkaroff a place at Hogwarts. The notice states that Professor Karkaroff will be teaching in a classroom on the second floor, where he will teach the tricks often used by dark wizards and how to trap them. Since it is not a formal professor and a formal course, this elective course taught by Karkaroff is not examined.

"Doesn't this overlap with Defence Against the Dark Arts class?" Draco also finished reading the announcement, turning his head to look at Solim, "Can this Umbridge agree?"

"Dumbledore must have done this in a coordinated manner, and it's not something we should be focusing on. Solim and Draco began to squeeze outside again, "And you're wrong. "

"What is wrong?"

"Karkaroff's class doesn't overlap with Defence Against the Dark Arts class. "

"But the sign says ......" Draco glanced back at the notice, "'Dark wizards and the tricks used by dark wizards', and that's not counting class overlap?"

"You think the dark wizard's tricks are dark magic?" Solim took a deep breath as soon as he stepped out of the crowd, he had just been squeezed enough, "Methods, styles, and messy tricks are all part of this class. And I don't think he'll teach any magic in this class - otherwise Umbridge and the Ministry of Magic wouldn't have agreed. "

The notice board about Karkaroff's classes had already spread throughout Hogwarts by dinner. Almost all of the topics of conversation among the students in the hall revolved around Karkaroff. They haven't forgotten last year's dinner - the horrible mark on Karkaroff's arm made it clear to the students who their new professor was.

A Death Eater actually started a class at Hogwarts, and it was a lesson that introduced the Dark Wizard's tricks and methods...... And the reason Karkaroff would do this was because he was afraid of dying at the hands of another, more powerful dark wizard......

This can be regarded as an alternative kind of black humor.

Karkarov in the professor's chair was enjoying his dinner. Truth be told, Karkaroff didn't like the Hogwarts environment, not that he missed the old days or missed life at Durmstrang. In fact, Karkaroff didn't like the school at all: there were a lot of people, and the chattering students were annoying. But he had to come to Hogwarts again, and Solim's words last semester and Snape's choices reminded Karkaroff that if he wanted to live, he would stay under Dumbledore's nose.

If it weren't for the fact that he really didn't have a choice, Karkaroff wouldn't want to stay in the school and teach any students. There was only one thing he wanted now, and that was that the Dark Lord could be eliminated as soon as possible, otherwise he would never be able to get out of Hogwarts for the rest of his life. As a former Death Eater, Karkaroff was all too familiar with the Death Eaters, not to mention the Dark Mark on his arm, as soon as he was out of Hogwarts, Voldemort could find his location and notify other Death Eaters to kill him. So Karkaroff really hasn't left Hogwarts since the beginning of last term - he hasn't even been to Hogsmeade.

Karkaroff was very important to his own life, and he was afraid of death, so he was sensitive to any potential danger around him - such as the woman with the surname Umbridge.

Karkaroff knew very well who Umbridge was playing for, and understood that this woman would definitely kick herself out of Hogwarts if given the chance. According to Karkaroff's original character, Umbridge was dead by this time. But it was at Hogwarts, and after Dumbledore had rejected some of Karkaroff's offers, he could only hold back and watch the dangerous woman walk around him.

This is also the reason why dark wizards like Karkaroff look down on white wizards like Dumbledore: indecisive and not decisive enough to deal with threats. If someone threatens them, then killing that person is the knee-jerk reaction of all dark wizards. Karkaroff also understood that Umbridge was just a victim, and killing her wouldn't change the overall situation, but doing nothing in the face of threats was not a dark wizard's habit, but the Hogwarts environment forced Karkaroff to endure it, so Karkaroff has been uncomfortable since the beginning of the school year - on the one hand, the torture brought to him by the Dark Mark, and on the other hand, the fear of the future. Karkaroff now only hopes that the noisy students will stop messing with him.

The only thing in Hogwarts that could make Karkaroff feel a little bit of kinship was Snape, both of whom were former Death Eaters, both betrayed Voldemort, and all stayed at Hogwarts to save their lives. Speaking of which, Karkaroff and Snape actually have a lot in common, but Snape doesn't care much about Karkaroff at all, preferring to lock himself in an underground office rather than reminisce about the past with Karkaroff.

But Karkaroff was already very satisfied with this, what more could he want? He himself knew that if it weren't for Dumbledore and Hogwarts, maybe he would have been caught by the Death Eaters by now, and what would happen to betraying Voldemort, Karkaroff thought he knew— He didn't die very happily, the Curse of Hearts was a must, and after torturing himself for a while, if Voldemort hadn't enjoyed it, he would have survived for a few days, and then more torture, until Voldemort decided to kill him, Karkaroff understood that being hit by the Killing Curse was already the best ending, and even worse was the great snake that Voldemort fed him.

If Dumbledore thought it would be better to let those students know more about the dark side of the world, Karkaroff didn't have a problem, he was good at it anyway, and he decided to do well in his first class to try to satisfy Dumbledore - after all, he was just a pathetic, unofficial Hogwarts temporary worker, and temporary work meant being fired at any time, and Karkaroff didn't want to be kicked out of Hogwarts.
