Chapter 453 Lupin's Defense Against the Dark Arts Class

"You..." Ron's little courage just vanished under Yang Tian's strong suppression. She stammered, "I... I just hope Crookshanks stays away from Scabbers."

"We will certainly pay attention to this." Yang Tian said seriously, "But you have also seen the situation today. It is really hard to guard against. So, please pay more attention to Banban, so as to ensure the safety of this little guy."

"Oh...yes, yes, I understand." Ron nodded stupidly.

Professor McGonagall seemed unable to bear it any longer and patted Yang Tian lightly on the head.

The storm seemed to have subsided quietly, but the impact it brought was unpredictable. It was unknown when this incident would cause a stir again...

Since entering the third grade, Yang Tian and his friends have quickly felt the changes. The amount of homework has increased exponentially, forcing them to go all out to adapt to this new learning rhythm.

In this busyness, time flew by, and in the blink of an eye it was already Monday afternoon, which was also Professor Lupin's first Defense Against the Dark Arts class.

The class has not started yet, but almost all the students are already there. They are chattering about the new professor and the new textbooks, looking forward to what surprises this class will bring to everyone.

But at this moment, the classroom door was suddenly pushed open, and Yang Tian led Hermione in hurriedly. "Yang Tian, ​​take out the books quickly, what class is this?" Hermione asked in confusion. She looked confused and seemed to have not yet woken up from her confusion.

Yang Tian frowned and asked worriedly, "There's really something wrong with your current condition. This class is Defense Against the Dark Arts... If you're really too tired, you should give up one or two classes and don't work too hard." As he spoke, he took out two sets of textbooks from his schoolbag and handed one of them to Hermione.

"It's okay, I can hold on." Hermione took the textbook and patted her face, trying to make herself more awake. After a pause, she said with a little dissatisfaction: "What you need to do now is to encourage me and support me, not to discourage me!"

Yang Tian, ​​I am really speechless...

Speaking of carrying books for Hermione, there is really no other way. In order to take care of all her courses, Hermione needs to carry a lot of books every day, and the stack is as high as a person. But where can she put so many things?

Originally, Yang Tian wanted to give her a storage ring seized from the Tuxin Church to solve the urgent problem. But firstly, there were not many rings, most of which had been distributed to his right-hand men, and the remaining number could not be given to each of his friends. It is not the lack of resources that is worrying, but the inequality; secondly, his study group is already high-profile enough. If ordinary little wizards see that the study group is more different, the result may not be envy, but jealousy and hatred. Anyway, except for the courses exempted by Professor McGonagall and Professor Sinistra, the rest of the courses are almost the same. Therefore, it is natural for Yang Tian to help this little girl collect books.

"You were all fine when we were having lunch just now. How come you guys are so anxious the moment I turned around?" Padma asked in confusion, looking at the two people's busy state.

"It's okay, it's okay, I just got a little confused all of a sudden." Hermione said hastily. She had promised Professor McGonagall not to let anyone discover the secret of the time turner.

Padma was about to ask more, but was interrupted by footsteps, and Professor Lupin finally walked into the classroom. He was still the same tattered old suitcase, still the same ragged clothes, but compared to the first time they met on the train, his complexion had improved a lot, probably because he could eat and rest normally during this period.

"Good afternoon." Professor Lupin said gently, "After a few days of detailed understanding, I finally understand your previous learning progress. I must admit that you had a very good Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher before, and your course progress even exceeded expectations... So this semester, we will learn another important category of dark magic - fighting curses... Curse magic has always been an important part of dark magic..."

"Of course, what I just introduced to you is just the general classification of curses. And in the first lesson today, we will learn how to break a very simple little curse." Professor Lupin was still speaking gently: "This little curse may be known by many people. But I ask you not to underestimate it. Remember, complex curses are always derived from simple curses; and little curses are the stepping stone to simple curses, so they can be regarded as entry-level curses..."

After another long explanation, Professor Lupin opened his old box and took out a toad, a snake, and a big spider. Then he pointed his wand at them and chanted the spell in turn: "Tarantella Dance!"

Under the influence of the magic spell, the toad immediately started dancing with its belly distended. It looked so adorable. The snake also became as soft as silk and could be twisted into various shapes at will. Finally, the giant spider also started dancing, waving its eight legs in the air as if it was madly playing a strange musical instrument.

The young wizards were all amused and laughed, and the classroom atmosphere was relaxed and happy. However, Professor Lupin quickly put away his smile and said to the students seriously: "You may feel that this little curse is harmless and very funny. But you don't know that the infamous Imperius Curse is partly related to this little curse! So, don't underestimate any curse, it may be the source of evil. Next, please take out your notebooks and write down these spells and the corresponding methods to remove them..."

In the following time, Professor Lupin began to explain in detail the characteristics and uses of this spell, and demonstrated every action of casting and removing the spell...

The whole class stopped, Yang Tian was surprised and happy. To be honest, last semester, with his help, Lockhart did greatly improve the progress and quality of the class, and taught all kinds of dark magic creatures. He thought that this semester should be like Alastor Moody in the original book, starting with the demonstration of the three unforgivable curses. But who would have thought that the curse part would be suddenly inserted.

However, this also made Yang Tian more interested. Ever since he saw the strange attack of the Tuxin Cult last year, he has been eager to learn more about the practice and skills of the curse. Now, the opportunity has finally come...
