The next morning, the storm that had been raging for the entire day had stopped. However, the ceiling of the auditorium was still covered in gloomy clouds.
When Elwyn and Corin arrived at the auditorium, the sky above them was covered in thick, greenish-gray clouds.
Harry, Ron, and Hermione were having breakfast while they studied their timetable for this semester.
Of course, it was mainly Hermione who was speaking while Harry and Ron listened.
Not far away, Fred, George, and Lee Jordan were a few seats away from them.
The three of them were discussing what kind of magical spell they could use to make themselves older so that they could muddle through and participate in the Hegemonic Triad.
In fact, all the junior Magi in the auditorium were discussing this topic.
The senior Magi who matched the age requirement were all secretly rejoicing. Everyone had a good feeling that they were about to become brave warriors.
"Good morning, Elwyn, Corin. I've seen your timetable from Hermione. It's not bad!" Harry said as he gestured for Elwyn and Corin to sit down. "The first class is Mad-Eyed Man's class. That must be great."
"Yeah, our schedule is a little off!" Ron's finger slid across the Monday section of the timetable. "Look at this morning's Herbalism class with Hufflepuff's students. The Protection of Mystical Creatures class is unlucky, with Slytherin!"
"There are two Divination classes this afternoon." Harry lowered his head and sighed.
One had to know that Divination was his least favorite subject apart from Potioneering.
Professor Trelawney always predicted that Harry was going to die soon, which made him feel especially annoyed.
"There's only Defense Against Black Magic class on Friday afternoon, and it's after Potioneering class in the morning." Ron continued reading. "That's really bad. Why can't we be like the third years and put this class on Monday?!"
Harry nodded in agreement with Ron.
If they knew that Moody was planning to use Unforgivable Curse and other black magic on the students, they might not have been so excited.
"Elwyn, this is your timetable. I've marked the courses with magic, and it will remind you automatically." Hermione handed him the timetable. "That way, you won't be too engrossed in reading in the library and forget the time."
"Thank you!" Elwyn stuffed the timetable into his bag.
Compared to last semester, he also had a lot more courses this year.
He took Divination, Protection of Magical Creatures, and Ancient Magic. Corin made the same choice as him.
"Hermione, I see you're eating again!" Ron said, watching Hermione spread jam on her bread.
"I've thought it through. There's a better way to express my stance on the rights of the little elves." Hermione said proudly.
"Yeah, and you're starving too." Ron said with a cheeky smile.
No matter what, it was a good thing that Hermione could take the initiative to eat.
Otherwise, Elwyn would have to prepare food for the two of them.
After a while, just as they were discussing what animal Hagrid would show them in this year's Protection of Magical Creatures class, Hedwig flew into the auditorium with a rain of owls. It was Sirius's package.
He brought a lot of candy for Harry and everyone else, which made Harry very happy.
On the first day of school, the owls would bring a lot of things from the little wizards' houses that they had forgotten to bring to the Hogwarts.
Over time, this had become a school tradition. The owls would mail their own home.
It was the first time Harry had received a package at this time, and it made him feel the warmth of home.
After breakfast, they split up and went to different classes.
Harry, Ron, and Hermione had to go to the greenhouse outside for Herbalism class, while Elwyn and Corin went to the Defense Against Magic class on the third floor.
When the two of them arrived, the classroom was already full of people.
Everyone was in high spirits, looking forward to Moody's class. This was the first time in several years.
Ginny had arrived long ago. She had reserved seats for the two of them at the front of the podium, and they hurriedly sat down.
The atmosphere in the classroom was exceptionally quiet. Everyone took out their copies of "Dark Powers: A Guide to Self-Defense" and waited.
Soon, they heard Moody's distinctive footsteps coming down the corridor.
He walked into the classroom, looking as strange and scary as usual.
His clawed wooden foot could just be seen peeping out from under his robe.
"Put these things away," he said in a gruff voice. He said gruffly as he walked with difficulty to the lectern and sat down. "You don't need these textbooks. I don't need them in my class. Take out your wands."
The little wizards put the books into their bags, looking extremely excited.
Based on past experience, taking out a wand meant that the class was going to be very interesting.
After a few seconds, Moody took out the name list.
He shook his head, shaking his long, white hair away from his twisted, scarred face, and began to call out names.
His normal eyes moved down the list, and his magical eyes kept moving back and forth, staring at every student who answered.
"Done!" When the last student answered, he said, "I've received a letter from your former teacher. He has some understanding of your current progress. Although you've accumulated a certain level of foundation in dealing with dark creatures, you still lack practical experience. You haven't seen real dark magic, and that's the most important thing."
The magical eyes moved quickly. Moody repeated what he had said to Elwyn the night before.
He told everyone to be prepared and be vigilant.
"Very good. Do any of you know which spells will cause a wizard to receive the most severe punishment from the Ministry of Magic?"
Elwyn sighed. This guy was really going to use the Unforgivable Curse in class.
No one in the class answered. The little wizards seemed to be frightened by Moody's theory.
They looked at each other uneasily, and then at Moody, hoping that he would answer the question.
"Mason, you answer!" Moody said. After making sure no one answered, he called Elwyn's name.
"Professor, there are a lot of spells that are forbidden by the Ministry of Magic. Currently, there are about ten thousand legal documents that are still in force, dating back to a thousand years ago. There are tens of thousands of spells involved," said Lucien. Elwyn replied, "I don't know the specific content, but if the use of these evil spells is discovered, they will be severely punished by the Ministry of Magic. I've made a simple categorization of these black magic incantations. They can be roughly categorized as curse-type, spirit-type, necromance-type, demon-type, spirit-type, blood-type, as well as magic that directly transforms the body and magical animals illegally. Of course, this isn't all.
