Umrich looked around from the podium, taking in everyone's expressions.
"I think you have all realized that there are many problems in this course, but you will be happy to know that these problems are about to be corrected. This year, we will be learning a carefully arranged, theory-centered, and approved by the Ministry of Magic on Defense Against Magic. Please copy these words. "
She knocked on the blackboard again, and the two lines of words disappeared, replaced by "Course Objectives".
1. Understand the basic principles of Defense Against Magic.
2. Learn to distinguish when a Defense Against Magic can be used legally.
3. Evaluate the Defense Against Magic in the context of practical application.
The classroom could only hear the rustling sound of a quill writing on the parchment. After two or three minutes, when every student had copied down the three objectives of Professor Umrich, she continued to ask, "Does every student have a copy of Wilbert Slinka's Defense Against Magic Theory?"
"Yes, that's right!" There was a murmur of affirmation in the class.
"This won't do, students, this won't do, I think we have to do it again!" Umrich said, shaking her head, "When I ask you a question, I want you to answer: Yes, Professor Umrich; or: No, Professor Umrich. One more time: Does every student have a copy of Wilbert Slinka's Defense Against Magic Theory? "
"Yes, Professor Umrich." The whole class answered loudly.
"Very good!" Umrich said, "I want you to turn to the fifth page of the book and read the first chapter, Introductory Basic Principles. Do not whisper to each other while reading. If you have finished reading, please continue to the next chapter. "
There was a clamor of discussion in the class. These were two classes on the Dark Demon Defense Technique that were linked together.
Listening to Umrich's words, she wanted them to sit here and read for the whole morning?
"Quiet!" Umrich said, revealing her small and sharp teeth, "We are reading now, if you have any questions, we can talk after class. Also, I want you to raise your hand when you ask questions in my class in the future. "
Her droopy, toad-like eyes stared at everyone, and the classroom instantly fell silent.
Elwyn would not openly confront Umrich in class, nor did he have anything to say to her. He flipped to the fifth page of "Magical Defense Theory". As expected, the content on it was very boring. First, it systematically explained what black magic was, and the corresponding black magic defense, which was white magic.
Black Magic and White Magic were not as distinct as black and white.
According to the opinion of the author of this book, Wilbert Slinka, whether it was black magic or white magic, they were all different in terms of the techniques and thoughts to control one's mental strength. For example, the use of the killing curse required strong malice and killing intent, while the use of the protection curse required the user to recall happy things, produce happy emotions, or have a strong desire to protect.
These things were very basic for Elwyn, and the explanation in this book was very long and boring, full of abstruse sentences. It was as boring as listening to Professor Benz's lecture. He read on and on and on and on, started thinking about other things.
The classroom was dead silent. Next to Elwyn, Corin stared blankly at the same place on the book.
Many people had not turned a page for a long time, but Umrich did not seem to care.
She sat on the chair behind the podium, looking at every little wizard in the classroom one by one, thinking about something.
While Elwyn and the others were staring at the book for the whole morning, Harry and the others had just finished the drowsy magic history class. Professor Benz dragged his voice and talked about the giant war for a full hour and a half.
If it was another teacher, this topic would probably be more attractive, but Professor Benz, the ghost teacher, used an unchanging voice to recite from the book. Why did he not let them read the book themselves?
Perhaps, only Hermione could resist the hypnotic power of Benz's voice.
When everyone came out of the History of Magic classroom, everyone let out a sigh of relief.
"What would happen if I didn't lend you my notes this year?" Hermione asked coldly.
She was very dissatisfied with Harry and Ron's performance in the class. They did not pay attention at all.
Ron kept passing notes to Lavender at first, and then he and Harry played a game of executioner on the parchment.
"Then we will fail our magic history class," Ron said. "If you want to be blamed by your conscience, Hermione?"
"Hmph, you deserve it!" she retorted sharply. "You didn't listen to him at all, did you?"
"We tried," Ron said. "We just don't have your brain, your memory, your concentration. You and Elwyn are smarter than us. Don't rub it in, okay?
"Hmph, don't give me this magic potion." Hermione said, but her expression softened slightly. "I wonder how Elwyn is doing. That woman's first lesson, what do you think she will teach us?"
"Maybe like Moody and show us black magic?"
"That's impossible. She's not crazy. She wouldn't do such a crazy thing. It's not permitted by the Ministry of Magic. Besides, don't forget why she came to the Hogwarts. " Hermione said, "She came to the Hogwarts on behalf of Foggy. She can't really teach us anything."
"I don't know, but if she does practice, Elwyn will definitely have a chance to teach her a lesson," Harry said.
They had been discussing this issue until Snape walked into the basement. They hurriedly shut their mouths and quietened down.
Everyone became silent as soon as they saw Snape.
Generally speaking, the appearance of Snape was enough to silence the whole class.
Harry originally thought that since Snape was also a member of the Order of the Phoenix, he would treat them better.
But he soon found that he was wrong. Very wrong.
"Before we start today's class, I think I need to remind you." Snape walked quickly to the podium and looked at them sternly. "Next June, you will take an important test. At that time, you will prove how much you have learned about the preparation and use of magic potions. Although there are a few people in this class who are really slow, I hope you can just barely pass the O.W. test. Otherwise, I'll be very angry. "
