The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts Chapter 217

Defense Against the Dark Arts is an interesting course. Literally, this is a course that teaches students how to defend against the dark arts. But what is Professor Lupin teaching this year? Various ways to deal with Boggart, Grindylo, Hinkpunk, Red Hat.

Are these creatures in the realm of black magic?

It seems hard to categorize them in something like black magic, as absurd as you point at a hyena and say it's a weapon of mass destruction. They are all magical animals.

Professor Lupin's course this academic year overlaps greatly with the teaching content of the Conservation of Magical Creatures course. Fortunately, there are enough kinds of Fantastic Beasts, so it didn't cause too much trouble for Newt.

Why does this phenomenon occur? This involves a question, how to become a teacher? In the non-magical world, you need to get a teaching certificate, and then go to school to apply. Your teaching content is also planned, and it is impossible for you to lecture at will. But the wizarding world is different. Teaching at Hogwarts does not require a teaching certificate or pre-service training. You just need the approval of Headmaster Dumbledore. Coupled with the fact that the class of teachers in this course has been changing frequently for decades, this has led to different teaching styles of different professors.

Quirrell's script, Lockhart's reading comprehension, Lupin's magical zoology, Moody's true Defence Against the Dark Arts, and Umbridge's politics class...

In fact, the Defense Against the Dark Arts course should have started out as a practical course. The little wizards will come to an open field when it is time for class, and form a team to fight one-on-one or two-on-two. At that time, the prefect should be the most capable student in the grade, and the student council president was the most capable student in the school.

In that era, students had to learn how to fight, how to solve various curses, how to deal with strange and magical animals, and even solve various puzzles. All in all, it's more of an applied course - kind of like an internship in the non-magical world.

However, with the passage of time, the martial virtues of the little wizards gradually declined, and Defense Against the Dark Arts no longer emphasized practical operations.

As the "King of Children", Professor Lupin has his own unique understanding of Defense Against the Dark Arts. Based on this understanding, he came up with a very unique set of exam questions.

This exam question, even Tom finds it novel. And when he learned of the rigid requirement that Hogwarts did not fail the exam, a bold idea came to his mind.

Although Professor Lupin was tight-lipped about Tom's whereabouts, the little wizards still had a rough guess in their hearts. After all, it's Thursday, and the third-year wizards are not the first batch of students to take the exam, so naturally they have heard a little bit of wind.

Of course, the little wizards have a very strong sense of confidentiality, and only revealed a few words. This alone is not enough to make students guess the content of the test questions, but you can be sure that Tom Yodell has become a part of the test.

Professor Lupin asked the students to form teams, and then drew lots to enter the arena.

Since it is a team, the tricks in it are big. Who doesn't want to download a copy with the big guy! The difficulty of the copy is certain, the thicker the thigh, the more comfortable it is to lie on.

Looking at the entire third grade of Ravenclaw, which thigh is thicker than Hermione Granger? There are two thighs in total throughout the grade: Yodel and Granger. After Yordle disappeared, Granger was the strongest thigh. Under normal circumstances, there is a high probability that the two of them will form a group to take the exam, but hasn't Yodel disappeared!

What's even better is that there is an invisible benefit to teaming up with Granger - with the relationship between Yodel and Granger, this exam will probably go very smoothly.

So after Professor Lupin announced that he could form a team freely, Hermione was surrounded by students all of a sudden.

The fastest ones were naturally the students who were also Ravenclaw, and then there was a small infighting among the kittens: the girls collectively drove the boys to the outer layer.

The reason is also very simple: Yodell saw you and Granger taking the exam together, are you sure you can pass the exam unharmed? The lunch break in the school hospital is likely to affect your afternoon exam.

Under the naked threat, the Ravenclaw boys quickly gave up the idea of ​​teaming up with Hermione and went to find their good friend partner.

The girls were surrounding Hermione, chattering loudly and wanting to team up with Hermione.

"Choose me, I'm fine!"

"Hermione, put me on your team, I'll do anything—"

"I have the secret to whitening and moisturizing!"

"I can……"

Hermione was so arguing that among her roommates, she had neither a very good friend nor a bad enemy, which made the choice extremely difficult.

"Stop, stop!" Finally, she stopped the excited roommates.

"Let's draw lots! Whoever draws me will be in a group!" This is the fairest way, and everyone has nothing to say.

In the end, it was Padma Patil who teamed up with Hermione.

As for the playing order, Professor Lupin draws lots. The first group to be drawn turned out to be Malfoy and Pansy Parkinson. Malfoy directly refused to cooperate with his two followers. He knew very well that the two of them couldn't be of much help other than acting as meat shields and dealing physical damage.

"Put this on." Professor Lupin put a bracelet on each of them.

"What is this?" Malfoy asked in surprise.

"If you faint, the bell on my side will ring, and then I will go to the venue to bring you out." Professor Lupin shook the pair of bells in his hand.

Malfoy:  …

His face suddenly turned ugly.

"If something happens to me, I—"

"I'll explain to Mr. Lucius." Lupin guessed what he was trying to say, and cut him off with a blank expression.

"Let's go!" Knowing that he had no regrets, Malfoy took a deep breath~www.mtlnovel.com~ and Pansy Parkinson stepped into Professor Lupin's classroom.

Meanwhile, Lupin glanced at the clock on the wall.

About three minutes later, the bells in Professor Lupin's hand rang together. The faces of the surrounding classmates suddenly became serious: Did the two of Malfoy only last for three minutes? !

Professor Lupin sighed and walked into the examination room. After a while, he used the floating spell to bring out the two unconscious candidates.

"It's just that I was knocked out, it's not a big deal." After using the spell to wake the two, Lupin took out a notebook and wrote two notes on it, recording the performance of the two and the time it took to clear the customs.

After all this was dealt with, he said that the exam for the two was over, and sent Malfoy and Pansy out of the exam room.

The exam continues.

Waiting for the fruit~ The fruit freedom will be realized soon!
