Chapter 20 Professor Jonathan

In the end, Finny, who couldn't bear the strange looks from others, had to stay in his lounge for two days. Fortunately, there were a large number of magic books in his lounge for him to read, so he wouldn't be bored.

In fact, maybe Hufflepuff is more suitable for Finny. After all, Hufflepuff is the only one in the entire Hogwarts and almost no one can isolate Finny, and they won't go out of their way to avoid Finny.

Finally, September 3rd came, and classes officially started.

Slytherin’s Monday morning is Defense Against the Dark Arts, a course that changes professors almost every year.

This year’s Defense Against the Dark Arts professor is a professor named Jonathan.

Professor Jonathan E. Reed is a professor with a kind of military iron-blood and a British demeanor. His course style is humorous, and from time to time he has corresponding specific examples to impress the young wizards.

The little snakes of Slytherin and the little lions of Gryffindor took this class together. As the two houses that have never dealt with each other, they naturally had constant conflicts and jokes during every class.

Of course, this is after excluding Finny, who is alone in the last row.

Feeney did not expect that he would be isolated to this extent. When he came to the classroom, there were already some young wizards sitting in the classroom in twos and threes.

And knowing that there are very few reliable professors in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, Feeney naturally chose a seat in the last row.

The embarrassing thing happened at this time. When Feeney sat on his seat, the other little wizards in the last row immediately packed up their things as if they had seen something very disgusting, and then got up and left. Here, the little wizard closest to Feeney was also separated by a whole row from him.

When Professor Jonathan walked into the classroom, he naturally noticed this unusual situation, but he had no way of saying anything and didn't know what to say.

Is he going to force other little wizards to sit with Feeney?

"I'm Jonathan Reed, your Defense Against the Dark Arts professor this semester. You can put that textbook away in my class. Normally you won't need it."

After Jonathan took a deep look at Feeney, he loudly said the opening words of his class and walked to the front of the classroom.

"Before coming to Hogwarts and accepting the professorship of Defense Against the Dark Arts, I learned about the school's course progress. The result was that there was no progress. For some special reasons, almost every Defense Against the Dark Arts professor only After holding the position for one year, even I signed a contract with Dumbledore for only one year of teaching."

Having said this, Jonathan looked around the classroom, took out his wand, and drew some patterns in the air, which were some dark creatures.

"The Defense Against Dark Arts course is mainly divided into three parts, dark creatures, defensive spells, and curses. If we follow the normal system, we will gradually understand the knowledge of these three parts in seven years, and finally reach the point where you can Save your life in front of some black magic or dark creatures, but the current situation does not allow this, so I will try to teach you as much as possible in my class,"

As he spoke, he threw the books in his hands aside.

"So, there is no need to read this book, because what I am going to give you may cover the entire seven years. Today is the first lesson. Let's start with some simple wand lighting techniques and wand lighting techniques. "Extinguishment Technique, that male student, you can put your hands down. I don't usually ask questions in my class."

"Wand illumination and extinguishing are commonly used magics, and they are also the most useful magics for you in the wild. In many cases, light is the nemesis of dark creatures, such as ghosts, and a moment of strong light can temporarily drive away werewolves and humans. Vampire’s.”

Feeney noticed that when he talked about vampires, there was something unnatural on Professor Jonathan's face.

Feeney had already learned the magic of lighting and extinguishing the wand a few years ago, so he did not listen particularly carefully to the lecture, but began to observe the professor carefully.

Professor Jonathan only showed up to meet him during the dinner. He left directly after Dumbledore introduced him. He has not been seen in the restaurant in the past two days.

Although the professor is not required to dine in the restaurant, it is a bit unusual for him to not show up even once.

At this time, when I observe Professor Jonathan, I can feel that something is abnormal.

The professor has short hair, and you can even see the scalp under the hair on both sides. He has a beard on his face, his pupils are gray-white, his face is a little pale, and he looks very haggard. He was wearing heavy clothes and wrapped himself tightly.

All these signs made Feeney think that Professor Jonathan might be a vampire, but he was not sure because although vampires are living dead like zombies, they cannot be judged by temperature, smell, and appearance, because vampires can make people through their blood. He looks, feels, and smells exactly like a living person.

Time passed quickly, and when Feeney was observing Jonathan, the class was coming to an end.

As a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, Jonathan is absolutely competent. While teaching these two simple magics, he will also give examples of how to use these two magics under what circumstances.

It can be seen from this that Professor Jonathan has rich experience in wild survival, because he is too familiar with it. When he talks about some examples, it feels like it is the behavior that Professor Jonathan is accustomed to.

And although his class did not ask questions or use books, it was also very interesting. In addition, he allowed the little wizards to use magic, and he was not strict. He gained the love of the little wizards in just one class.

Slytherin's Monday afternoon course was the most boring course in the entire Hogwarts: History of Magic. To say it was boring is a good compliment.

The professor of the History of Magic course is Professor Binns, who is the only ghost professor at Hogwarts.

He was at Hogwarts for many years, until he was old and confused, and he was still teaching, but by that time, he was too old and often forgot things. One time he was sleeping in the staff room, and there was a fire there in the middle of the night. He didn't even know. The next morning, he stupidly got up and went to class, but he even left his body there and forgot to take it.

Even after his death, he did not forget to teach the young wizards the history of magic. However, this class was too boring.

Professor Binns, on the other hand, spoke breathlessly and in a drawl. It can put a person to sleep in almost ten minutes; if the weather is hot, about five minutes is enough.
