Today's first class is defense against the dark arts - Snape's defense against the dark arts.

To be honest, now everyone really loves and hates this course. Because you'll never guess what Snape will bring out in the next class to toss your growing nerves.

In fact, since Snape also experienced a series of events and choices, and had a sister, his life seems to have begun to change subtly.

If Snape, who used to teach potions, was more perfunctory, he obviously had a lot of interest in the defense class.

Earlier at breakfast, Professor McGonagall talked about the impact of Maka on Hogwarts. Especially for the growth of little wizards, Maka's contribution is not great.

However, when it comes to the students' progress in actual combat, Snape's rich and strict defense against the dark arts course is undoubtedly a great help.

At least, at that time, R.A. members were able to face it calmly in downtown London where black robed monsters were everywhere, so they had to thank Snape for his curriculum.

Because all the little wizards who had taken his courses were basically frightened by his various and changeable means, and often more than once.

Of course, in the time before today's class, everyone seems to be a little interested in what new tricks Snape will bring them.

If it had been put in the past, the little wizards would have discussed one after another in the corridor outside the classroom.

"Oh, I think I've begun to miss what this corridor looks like during Christmas..."

Ron held some books, stared at the pictures on the wall, and couldn't help whispering.

In fact, there are still many students looking at the picture, and he is not the only one who is thinking so.

"Yes!" Simon also sighed.

It can be seen that the picture hanging near the door of the defense class classroom is actually new.

Of course, the dark corridor that Marca and Sarah made together during the Christmas activities has now been removed.

But perhaps Professor McGonagall thought he should leave something to commemorate, so there was an additional magic oil painting depicting the corridor scene at that time.

The content of this painting is very simple. It just repeats all kinds of scenes in the scary dark magic corridor.

If you only go to see it, it may actually make the viewer feel rather gloomy and terrible. In particular, the appearance of the last Dementor will always startle people.

However, if the brass nameplate at the bottom of the oil painting is matched, the names of students who have successfully broken through all levels are engraved there, which will make people show a nostalgic smile.

This is also the trace left by Marka in Hogwarts... No, it seems that Marka can be seen everywhere in Hogwarts.

"Looking at these, it always makes me think Maka may not come back."

Ron just thought about it silently in his heart - he didn't say it, because no one would want to hear that Marca would leave Hogwarts forever, including himself.

"It's just 'resignation'... It's just 'resignation'."

"Click -"

The door of the classroom was suddenly opened, and Snape, who was still dark, stood at the door and glanced coldly at the sixth graders outside.

"Come in."

Before the voice fell, the class bell rang on time, which showed that Snape was still trying to cut time as always.

After he left a word, he turned briskly and walked in, and stood silent beside the podium.

The sixth graders of Slytherin and Gryffindor then poured into the classroom and sat down in their customary seats without saying a word.

In Snape's class, even the students of the two rival colleges restrained themselves quite a bit. Especially in today's defense class, no one has the idea of mutual antagonism for a long time.

"Bang!"

"Today's course doesn't need textbooks. Put them down."

After Snape waved his wand and closed the classroom door, he first reminded everyone. As usual, once Snape said there was no need for textbooks, it meant that the class would teach some knowledge that was not in the books.

And those knowledge will definitely make people feel psychological and even physiological discomfort while having high use value.

Remember, this is Snape's n.e.w.ts improvement class, but there will never be any simple content!

"You should all know the disaster in London some time ago, and... It seems that there are a few who have experienced it personally..."

"Because the disaster is at hand, and it is still closely related to black magic, Professor McGonagall asked me to add several relevant courses to n.e.w.ts class."

Speaking of this, Snape suddenly raised his wand and waved his backhand at the blackboard.

"This class is about the Dementor, a dark magical creature that took the lives of many wizards and Muggles in that disaster."

Just as Snape said the monster's name, a simple stroke of that monster was followed on the blackboard.

"This is actually a new dark creature, which has never been recorded before, so I just call it at will," snape continued. "They have a similar appearance to Dementors, and their size is smaller, which is closer to the height of humans."

"According to McLean --"

Halfway through the conversation, Snape obviously realized that it was wrong and immediately changed his mind:

"According to the research data provided by Mr. Marca McLean during the treatment of patients in St. Mungo, there are four pieces of evidence that they are not naturally evolved creatures, but artificially transformed by black magic."

"And these four evidences are..."

In the following class time, everyone gradually understood that this is a rare pure theory course of defense against dark magic - which is extremely rare in Snape's usual defense course of "combination of theory and practice".

But it may be because Snape quoted a large number of research materials from Maka in this class, and this terrible monster just created a huge disaster in London, so no one had the idea of relaxing in the whole class.

It was not until the whole two class hours passed that everyone closed their notebooks in the voice of Snape's announcement that the class was over, got up one by one and prepared to leave the classroom.

The classroom with Snape's characteristics is still so dark, but it is not as heavy as the inner shadow of everyone.

Because Snape has made it very clear - these materials are bought from lives that were once as fresh as them.

After the students hurried away and rushed to the classroom of the next class, Snape waved and silently eliminated the illustrations and blackboard writing crowded with an entire blackboard.

"Hum."

Somehow, he suddenly snorted, and a pair of eyes that had been slightly empty suddenly became very deep.

After a slight pause and impassive thinking for a while, he seemed to say to himself carelessly:

"Don't die outside."

……

Snape is talking about Maka. After all, Haier Bo's powerful and discerning people know at a glance... But Maka, will he die?

At least he feels that he can't die for the time being.

While all the little wizards were teaching in Hogwarts, Maka was wandering aimlessly alone in the suburbs of London.

Yes, because he doesn't know where the place hidden by halbo and doesn't want him to find, he can only think while walking like this. While trying to take a chance on the principle of not wasting time, inferring some details that may be missed.

As far as we know, it is probably right that the gray shadow is going to the suburbs.

Of course, it's the suburbs, but there's no real wilderness around London.

Although the population here is certainly much less than that in the urban area, houses and residents can still be seen everywhere, and even look more prosperous than some small towns.

"Always feel a little... Is it a change in mood?"

Walk slowly on this path and look at the houses beside the road. Perhaps it is also because of the suburbs. There is much more green from plants than in cities.

The tall trees along the road, the branches and trees sticking out of people's yard, and the tender buds that began to emerge gradually near early spring

The natural breath often makes people feel comfortable, especially the sudden appearance of spring, which can brighten people's eyes.

However, at this time, when Maka was feeling the vitality surrounded by green, there was still a kind of empty fall in her heart.

Looking up slightly, he looked at the white sky - that's probably his current mood? Although it was bright during the day, it was still covered with a layer of gloom, which was far less refreshing than the clear sky.

At this time, a magic wave swooped from the air and landed firmly not far from Maka's side.

Then Sirius, who had released the phantom spell, revealed his figure.

"Maka, do you have any new discoveries here?"

Watching Sirius turn over from the broom to the ground, Maka spread her hands and said, "no... I even think I'm just walking alone."

"Why don't you pause first!" Sirius waved his hand and motioned towards downtown London behind him. "There was a message from St. Mungo that you might need to go... You know."

"Well," Marca nodded immediately, as if suddenly, "it's almost the same when calculating."
