Chapter 169: Praise from Little Eagle
Defense Against the Dark Arts class.
Argus stood calmly on the podium.
He gave a lecture to the Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff students below.
His elegant posture and confident expression aroused the restlessness of countless little Ravenclaw witches.
What the wise little eagle could not resist most was erudition and wisdom.
"Obstacles are a spell you will often use in the future."
"Not only can it block the attacks of dark creatures when encountering them, but it can also be used to slow down the speed of pursuers during escape."
"It is a very useful spell in outdoor adventures."
"Mr. Grindelwald, if we have the opportunity to cast a spell, why not just use an attack spell or a quick imprisonment?" Padma Patil raised her hand and asked.
"Because we can't guarantee that we will only encounter low-risk magical creatures or dark creatures in the wild."
"If it's a shrew or a bowtruckle, we can naturally use the speed imprisonment or attack spell."
"But when we encounter high-risk creatures such as poison horns and leopards, the high magic resistance of their skin will greatly reduce the effect of our magic."
"It may even anger them and cause unpredictable consequences."
"In contrast, obstacles do not directly act on the enemy itself. Although the effect is not as obvious as other spells, it is safer."
Padma Patil nodded thoughtfully.
When she looked at Argus again, her eyes were full of admiration.
"I understand, Mr. Grindelwald."
Argus saved her sister's life in the first grade. If Argus hadn't saved Parvati who fell from the stairs, she might not even have the courage to become a wizard.
"It's my duty." Argus smiled and didn't care.
"Any more questions?"
"Mr. Grindelwald, I have a few questions!"
Hermione had a sly smile on her face.
One hand was rummaging through the notes in front of her, and the other hand was raised high.
It was obvious that this was premeditated!
"Excuse me, Miss Granger."
Agus raised his hand, without any guilt.
"Mr. Grindelwald, you just said that the Ministry of Magic divides magical animals into five levels according to their degree of danger, right?"
"But I don't quite understand the classification of some magical animals, such as the Niffler and the Wyrmling."
"They are both XXX level, but the degree of danger of the two magical animals is obviously not at the same level."
"For example, the Invisible Beast is classified as XXXX level, but it is a docile herbivore."
A group of young wizards heard Hermione's question and showed an inquiring look.
A few people were still whispering and discussing.
"Miss Granger is very thoughtful."
"If I didn't have the permission to add points, I would definitely add five points to Ravenclaw."
Agus praised.
"The five levels of magical beasts represent more than just the degree of danger."
"It also includes the difficulty of dealing with wizards."
"Take the XXX level you mentioned as an example. It means that capable wizards can deal with it."
"The danger of the Niffler to wizards is indeed less than that of the Witchbird, but to find and deal with it, wizards need to carefully check and search, which consumes much more energy than the Witchbird."
"The same is true for the Invisible Beast."
The little wizards in the audience suddenly realized.
"So that's it! I always thought that the higher the danger level, the more powerful the magical beast!"
"I think so too!"
"This kind of detailed knowledge point is probably not even worth reading by ordinary wizards! Only Argus will think seriously!"
"To be able to answer this kind of knowledge point, it probably requires more than just spell knowledge, right? You must also have a good understanding of the knowledge of magical beasts!"
"Are there any other questions?" Argus maintained his usual gentle attitude and asked loudly.
"Yes!"
A large group of little wizards raised their hands and showed an unprecedented enthusiasm.
It was much more active than taking classes from other professors.
Hermione didn't even have a chance to ask!
Previously, they were a little worried about Argus's knowledge reserve, but now it seems that it is completely unnecessary!
A teacher of the same age brings them not only novelty, but also a sense of intimacy.
Unlike professors, who always have a sense of oppression!
There are almost people asking questions throughout the class, and as long as the questions are related to the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, Argus will patiently answer them.
No matter how strange the questions are, the little wizards who ask questions can always get satisfactory answers.
It was not until this moment that they really understood how outrageous the gap between themselves and Argus was.
Everyone took an unprecedented attitude and carefully recorded every key point that Argus said.
Especially Ravenclaw!
If it is said that many little witches of Ravenclaw had a crush on Argus before, it was only a love for the appearance.
Now, it is a complete sinking!
Looking at the sparkling starry eyes of the little witches of their own academy, even if several little wizards hate it, they have to admire Argus's knowledge from the bottom of their hearts.
...
One day of class is over.
Argus returned to the dormitory and threw himself on the bed.
"I never thought that teaching a class would be more tiring than fighting Voldemort!"
"In addition to teaching the first and second graders, I also have to go to class myself. I don't even have time to study potions in Snape's office."
Argus could only take a break during the afternoon get out of class and before the dinner.
It won’t be long before the dinner is over and the club organized by Professor Slughorn will start.
As an assistant in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, I must go and help.
Fortunately, this club is not as fancy as Lockhart’s.
Otherwise, I would have to go there in advance to set up, and I wouldn’t even have time to rest!
“Take a break while it’s still early.”
“After this break, I’ll be busy until curfew!”
Argus lay on the bed, closed his eyes and emptied his mind.
Try to relax yourself as much as possible.
He didn’t wake up until he heard the bustling noise in the lounge.
“It looks like it’s time for dinner.”
“Pack up your things and prepare for the club activities.”
Argus stood up, sorted out the materials he needed, thought about it, picked up Dumbledore and Slughorn’s notes and put them in.
He planned to study during the break.
He walked all the way to the lobby of Hogwarts Castle.
He happened to meet Slughorn who came to enjoy dinner.
"Argus, how are the preparations for the club tonight going?"
After two days of getting along, Slughorn and Argus have become very familiar with each other.
This easy-going old man with a Mediterranean appearance is not as serious as Snape or Professor McGonagall. He is somewhat similar to Professor Flitwick in treating students.
They can both get along well with students.
However, Slughorn's easygoing attitude is only for talented young wizards.
Argus bowed slightly and did not show any casualness because of the other party's kindness.
"The materials are ready. If nothing unexpected happens, there will be no problem!"
