Chapter 170 The first evening study session at Hogwarts
As Argus spoke, he took out the prepared materials and handed them to Slughorn.
However, Slughorn saw that when Argus took out the materials, Dumbledore's full name was written on a worn notebook in his bag!
He didn't know about the deal between Argus and Dumbledore, and only thought that Dumbledore gave his notebook to Argus because he loved his talent!
Slughorn had the opportunity to become the Minister of Magic, but he knew that he was not cut out for it, and he just wanted to live a comfortable and enjoyable life, so he didn't participate in the election.
But this is enough to show his connections and mind!
Thinking of Dumbledore's youth, he subconsciously imagined Dumbledore's attitude towards Argus.
His evaluation of Argus went up a level!
He took the materials from Argus and glanced at them briefly.
He nodded with a smile on his face.
"Very good, Argus!"
"With you here, I can save a lot of trouble."
"This is what I should do, professor."
"Let's go eat first, just eat a little, save some space." Slughorn gave Argus a look that you understand.
Then he walked towards the professor's seat.
...
One hour later.
Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom.
The classroom that can accommodate students from two colleges is now overcrowded.
Almost all the fifth and seventh graders of Slytherin are present!
"Argus, please communicate with the prefects of each college and ask them to maintain order."
"I'll find a larger classroom."
Slughorn didn't expect Argus to be so important in the hearts of Slytherin members.
All the fifth and seventh graders are present.
"Okay, professor!"
Argus gently touched his throat with his wand.
"Everyone, please be quiet."
"Students who don't have a seat don't need to worry."
"We will change to a larger classroom later."
"Please guide and maintain order in each college!"
The whole classroom gradually quieted down, and four college prefects, including Percy and Amiri Carrow, came out to accommodate members of each college.
The first club activity of the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor was to tutor the fifth and seventh grades.
No matter whether these prefects need it or not, they must come to take a look.
After about five minutes, Slughorn returned to the classroom and led a group of senior students to a small auditorium under the guidance of Argus and the four prefects.
"Each prefect should count the number of students in each college according to grade, and then come to me to collect materials."
Argus was very glad that the prefects of the four colleges were here this time, otherwise, he would have to distribute the materials by himself, and it would take a long time!
The four prefects had almost counted the number of people when they maintained order for the first time.
After counting all the people, Argus pointed his wand at the materials he had prepared.
"Copy in pairs!"
Swish, swish, swish!
A large number of materials flew into the hands of the prefects of each college one by one, and the invisible display of skills made many people tremble.
"Percy, can you do what Argus did?"
Penelope leaned into Percy's ear and asked in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
"Copying is simple, but what he did is not just copying, but also includes the silent and wandless spell of the flying spell."
"Not to mention me, even the Auror of the Ministry of Magic probably can't use it."
Percy is a member of the Weasley family and a prefect of Hogwarts.
His vision is much sharper.
"Fortunately, we are not in the same grade as him." Penelope smiled bitterly.
She saw the state of Ravenclaw after the Defense Against the Dark Arts class today, and his admiration for Argus.
Originally, I thought it was an exaggeration.
Now it seems... If it weren't for the fact that he was in the lower grade and his horizons were not broadened, he would have praised Argus to the sky.
I can't believe how much pressure it would take to be in the same grade with him.
He looked at Amiri Carrow with pity, and walked towards the senior students of Ravenclaw College with the materials.
"Be quiet, everyone!" Argus's ability to control the situation is unquestionable.
With a wave of his wand, the entire hall was silent in an instant.
"Now, what you have in your hands are the most frequently asked questions in wizard exams in recent years."
"Through these key questions, you can check for deficiencies and make up for your shortcomings as quickly as possible."
"You have one hour to do the questions. After one hour, Professor Slughorn will announce the correct answers and explain some difficult points."
As soon as the voice fell, many people were puzzled.
"Is this thing useful?"
"Are we here to learn how to defend against the dark arts? What can we learn by just doing the test papers!"
"Yes! If I had known it was this kind of thing, I would not have come!"
This kind of test-oriented teaching is not popular in the UK, and people will not frantically brush the original questions every day to pass the exam.
Therefore, everyone present did not understand the club's behavior of distributing test papers.
"If you feel that the club's review method is not suitable, you can leave at any time. We will not force you."
Faced with doubts, Agus had no intention of explaining.
On the contrary, he generously let those who wanted to leave leave the auditorium.
I don't owe them anything! What does it have to do with me whether they pass or not!
If you can't even see through this, you are not a smart person.
Even if they stayed, they would be of little help to me in the future.
I just need those who passed the exam to be grateful to me!
A few people looked at each other, as if they had made a decision at the same time.
They pretended not to see the warning from their own prefects and left the classroom indifferently.
With them taking the lead, more people left.
In five minutes, almost one-fifth of the students left.
All of them were students from the other three colleges.
You know, among the members who came today, Slytherin alone accounted for nearly half.
The remaining half were from the other three colleges.
In other words, a small half of these three colleges left!
Seeing that most of the people who wanted to leave had left, Argus waved his hand and the door of the auditorium closed.
While the students in the auditorium were busy doing the questions, he took out the notes given by Dumbledore and started studying.
Time passed by minute by minute.
Argus was immersed in Dumbledore's notes and didn't realize that it was almost time for him to agree.
It was not until Percy reminded him that he woke up from his notes.
"Dumbledore is indeed a master of Transfiguration. His analysis of the soul and essence has reached an unimaginable level."
"If it weren't for the lack of time, he might have been able to peel Voldemort's soul out of Harry."
Argus thought to himself.
Seeing that the time was almost up, he put the notes back into his bag and reminded Slughorn who was drinking tea next to him.
Slughorn put down the teacup in his hand with a little regret.
He picked up the test paper made of sheepskin and stood on the podium.
"Little wizards, your time is up."
"It's my turn!"
