Chapter 123 Defense Against the Dark Arts Lesson

Compared with substitute class, the feeling of formal class is different.

I used the potion lesson plan written by Severus before, so I just need to follow the gourd.As for Defense Against the Dark Arts, due to the frequent change of professors in Hogwarts Defense Against the Dark Arts, Alice couldn't even find the teaching plans of her predecessors for reference.After all, she couldn't imitate Lockhart and let students act out the content of "Alice's Adventures" in class.

"I'm a little nervous. How did it feel when you had your first class?" Alice asked Snape before going out.

"I don't feel it." Snape replied, "If you feel uncomfortable, just deduct points."

When people are nervous, their thinking begins to wander.

Hogwarts' point-deduction system is too casual, Alice thought.Fortunately, there was only one Snape. If there were a few more such professors, even if Dumbledore gave Harry Potter more points, Gryffindor would never win the House Cup.

"What do you think of the automatic point deduction and bonus system?" She had a sudden thought. "It's fair. Last year's House Cup Slytherin can also be kept."

Harry's heroics in defeating the Dark Lord and saving the Philosopher's Stone would certainly earn points, but so would points for his violation of school rules.Even if the two cannot be offset, it will not happen that only one person can reverse the result of the Academy Cup at the end of the semester.

"It's not a whim of yours, it's a whimsical idea." Snape commented.

The power of adding and deducting points for Hogwarts is completely in the hands of the professor. The advantage is flexibility, but unfairness will also arise from this.If the automatic scoring system cannot be realized in the short term, let Alice say that at least the school regulations should be improved.

"For example, when answering questions in class, some teachers will add one point, and some teachers will add two points. It can be stipulated in advance that one point will be added for normal answers, and two points will be added for particularly excellent answers. By analogy in this way, fairness can be greatly improved. "

"Good advice," said Snape dryly, "but I don't think it will work."

"You don't like the suggestion," Alice said firmly. "It's not because you can't freely deduct points from Gryffindor?"

"I've always been fair and just."

Alice nodded vigorously, expressing her agreement: "Come on, when you become the principal, change the school rules."

Hearing this, Snape paused towards the fireplace, and asked amusedly, "Who gave you the confidence that I can be the headmaster?"

Not to mention that this is impossible, even if he becomes the principal, he will not modify the school rules as Alice said.Those reckless, stupid Gryffindors would surely tear the castle down if they couldn't freely deduct points.

"Don't you want to be the headmaster?" Alice said logically, "People still have to be ambitious. To be a headmaster doesn't have to teach, and the salary is higher than now, and you can spend more time researching potions, which is completely useless. One harm. Of course, the premise is that you don't care about the safety of the entire wizarding world like Principal Dumbledore."

"If you keep talking, you will most likely be late for your first class." Snape glanced at the clock, "You haven't put away those so-called teaching aids, have you?"

Bad, the topic is too far away.Alice immediately followed Snape towards the fireplace, but said nervously as she walked, "I'm really nervous."

Holding the Floo powder, Snape glanced at Alice who had been clasping her hands, and asked calmly, "Are you worse than what Lockhart taught?"

Worse than Lockhart is impossible.Thinking of this, Alice felt more confident walking in the castle.Then she sees the sneaky messiah trio.

"What are you doing?" she asked.

The three people who were looking around in the corner of the corridor were so frightened that they nearly fell over and finally stood still. They turned their heads nervously and were relieved when they saw Alice.

"We're in a daze," said Hermione awkwardly.

"The three of you are hiding in a corner together in a daze?" It's not that Alice didn't give them face, it's because this reason is too perfunctory.How can I say that being in a daze is also a relatively private behavior, and the three of Harry can't connect their minds when she doesn't know, and they can even share the content of being in a daze, right?

And since she experienced the previous Potions class incident, she has paid more attention to the trio, fearing that they will do something excessive once their heads are hot.

"Come on, there's nothing wrong with it." Ron said to Alice carelessly, regardless of Hermione's obstruction, "Are we waiting for Snape?"

"Snape?" Alice was even more puzzled. "As far as I know, he only has one first-grade class today. He left the office 5 minutes ago, and he must have arrived at the door of the classroom by now."

Ron froze, and Harry and Hermione looked at each other in surprise.

"So Snape wasn't the substitute teacher for Defense Against the Dark Arts?" Hermione asked excitedly.

"You want Professor Snape to be the substitute teacher for Defense Against the Dark Arts?" Alice asked knowingly.

Harry was the quickest to reply, almost reflexively: "Of course not."

"As you wish, it's really not." Sure enough, over the years, Severus had become more and more powerful, and the students' fear of their potions professor had also increased.What is this called, as time goes by, there are always some things that remain the same?Alice felt a little emotional for a moment.

"So, who is the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher?" Hermione asked. "I asked other houses, and their deans have classes this afternoon."

"Do you have classes in the afternoon?" Alice didn't answer directly.

"No." The three said in unison.

"If you guys can do me a favor, I'll let you know."

……

The portrait of Hogwarts is no longer boring today. Looking at the sweaty and panting trio, their afternoon tea is even more interesting.

"Why can't I use the Levitation Charm?" Dragging the heavy sack, Hermione blushed and asked, because all her strength was used in her hands, her voice seemed to be squeezed out of her teeth.

Harry and Ron on the side were dragging much heavier sacks than Hermione, and they were too tired to speak now, so they could only nod their heads in agreement.

With empty hands, Alice easily led the way: "It is possible, but your magic level is not enough to levitate such a heavy thing."

In fact, it is not so absolute. If it is Hermione, it may be able to float, but Alice dare not take this risk.The things in the sack are precious, and if one falls down by mistake, she will be heartbroken to death.

"Sister, is your magic level not enough?"

"Enough is enough." Alice stopped, "Equivalent exchange, exchanging labor force for the status of a substitute teacher for the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, is very reasonable."

She thought it was a great idea to be able to exercise and burn off the cubs' high energy.

"Okay, so where are we going?" Hermione asked listlessly.

"It's already here." Alice opened the classroom door, "Just put it in the middle. Let's get to know each other again, I'm the substitute teacher you all miss."

After sending away the trio who looked "deceived", Alice sat alone in the classroom waiting for class.

Ravenclaw was the first to come in, and went straight to the front row when he came in with a book in his hand. He didn't see Alice on the podium until he sat down.They were startled at first, and then all smiled excitedly.Many of them were planning to come to the stage to ask questions with their books in hand, but Alice stopped them.

Hufflepuffs come to class in small groups, because they can be heard talking and laughing in the hallway in the classroom.However, the laughter suddenly disappeared at the door of the classroom, and then there was a long silence.

Just when Alice couldn't help but want to go out to check the situation, the classroom door opened in a slow and silent way.Unlike Ravenclaw who went straight to the front row, Hufflepuff kept his head down the whole time and quickly occupied the seats in the back row of the classroom.

"Merlin!" I don't know which Hufflepuff noticed Alice first, and the rest of the Hufflepuffs immediately looked up and saw the people on the podium.

The originally quiet classroom suddenly became active, and the Hufflepuffs quickly divided into small groups, discussing intensely while staring at Alice, with happy smiles on their faces.

Although there were conversations in Ravenclaw at the front, there were only a few of them. Most of them suppressed their excitement and buried themselves in their studies, which was in stark contrast to the energetic Hufflepuff at the back.

Amazingly, despite the great contrast, the front and back of the classroom form an eerie harmony.In this way, teaching Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw for the first lesson did save her a lot of trouble.

Waiting patiently until the bell rang, Alice said a simple opening sentence: "Everyone is acquaintances, so I won't be polite. You will have to spend the rest of the school year with me."

"I have always believed that theoretical knowledge is very important." She followed up.

As soon as these words came out, there was a wailing sound below.

"But considering the original intention of Defense Against the Dark Arts and its incoherent teaching characteristics, I think practice is more important to you than theory."

The students cheered, raised their wands one after another, and couldn't wait to start a big battle.

This is half the battle, Alice pointed to the three sacks in the middle of the classroom that attracted the attention of many people: "Turn the direction of the wand, your opponent in this class is not your companion."

"Wouldn't it be the same Cornish elf like Lockhart?" Someone asked fearfully, would he really go to see Merlin again after that horrible experience.

"Mermaids? They say that Professor Hall has friendship with the mermaids from the Black Lake." The girl with a Muggle family had a big brain, apparently she was deceived by Muggle fairy tales and was full of fantasies about mermaids.

Alice didn't keep a secret, and directly put away the sack with a magic spell.

"Wow!" Everyone sighed in unison.

"What is this?" Then they asked questions together.

"The tennis ball machine has undergone a magical transformation. It runs entirely on magic power and automatically locks and tracks the target. It was reported to the Ministry of Magic, so there is no misuse of Muggle items." Looking at the confused crowd, Alice happily explained, "Every time One chance, [-] balls, just dodging or using a spell, as long as you don't get hit by a tennis ball, you get five points."
