Chapter 49 Defense Against Dark Arts: Escape
The Defense Against the Dark Arts class in the afternoon did not disappoint everyone.
Professor Bud Broad is a funny old man. On the first day of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, he said to everyone:
You may not know that the position of Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor is cursed. No one can stay in this position for one year. I think I should be no exception. Before I leave my job, I will teach you the knowledge you need to master.
Such a statement is really shocking.
"Professor, can't you even break this curse?" Roger Davis raised his hand and asked.
"I'm afraid... no!" Professor Bud Brod shook his head and said: "In the past few decades, many Defense Against the Dark Arts professors have tried, but they have undoubtedly failed, and even Dumbledore has failed. I don't think I can do what I can't do. The most important thing is self-awareness. Okay, turn to page five of "Dark Power: Self-Defense Guide" and class is about to begin."
Professor Bud Brod got off topic while he was talking. He was telling everyone what happened during his travels, such as using a **** lollipop to kill a thirsty vampire.
Professor Brod told everyone that vampires do not really need to drink blood, they just crave the taste of blood.
“Girls need to be especially careful when meeting vampires, because most vampires like to target young girls.” Professor Broad said in a joking tone.
Of course, most vampires and werewolves are currently registered with the Ministry of Magic, but this does not mean that there are no fish that slip through the net.
When it comes to werewolves, Professor Bud Broad’s advice to everyone is to stay away.
Because after being bitten by a transformed werewolf, you will be transformed into a werewolf. Werewolves will be ostracized by wizards and find it difficult to find decent jobs, and most of them will even go astray.
"If I encounter a transformed werewolf outside, the first thing I will do is to directly phantom and run away." Professor Broad believes that it is best not to have any entanglements with the transformed werewolf, because that means You may be at risk of being bitten.
Being bitten by a transformed werewolf will suffer something more cruel than death—turning into a werewolf.
“Professor Brod, what if we encounter a werewolf.”
"I think with your current situation, it is difficult to encounter a werewolf. Of course, if you are unfortunate enough to encounter a werewolf, you can only save yourself. In densely populated areas, you can use a locking spell to lock the door. As a magical creature, a wizard or a Muggle can become a werewolf. In this case, most will lose their minds, lock the door, and then call for help from others by shooting red sparks.
“What if we were in a wilderness, or a plain, and there was no hiding place around us?”
"When that happens, I think you can only pray to Merlin." Professor Brod said helplessly.
“Can’t you use a wand to subdue the transformed werewolf?” someone asked again.
"Yes, a powerful wizard can do it." Professor Brod nodded, "But I will never tell you to try to challenge a transformed werewolf. That is absolutely a stupid idea. It is seeking death and being transformed. If you are bitten by a werewolf and are not treated in time, you will definitely die. Even if you survive, you will still have to face something more terrifying than death.
“That means you will turn into a werewolf,” he repeated
“What if you are bitten by a werewolf who has not transformed?” Albert suddenly asked
"This is a good question." Bud Brod looked at Albert and nodded: "If you are bitten by a human who has not transformed into a werewolf, you will not be completely transformed into a werewolf, but your body will appear partially. The characteristics of a werewolf, the bite area is also difficult to heal, and a mixture of silver powder and white blood is required to treat the werewolf's wounds.
“Be careful, stay vigilant at all times, stay away from werewolves, and don’t get bitten is the best way to protect yourself.”
At the end of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, Professor Broad taught everyone two kinds of magic, how to use a wand to shoot red sparks and green sparks into the sky.
Red sparks generally symbolize danger and urgent help. As for the green sparks, it can represent gathering, finding the target, or other people's mutual agreement.
While Professor Bud Broad was telling the story, everyone was busy writing it down in their books.
As for the Defense Against the Dark Arts homework, it is of course an exercise in two types of sparks.
He is a reliable Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.
This is Albert's evaluation of Professor Bud Broad. This old man is funny and humorous. He did not teach them according to the content of "Dark Power: Self-Defense Guide" in class. Instead, he told them based on his own experience. It was very interesting. Talk about practical experience.
“I really hope Professor Brod can teach us some practical spells.” Albert heard someone complain like this more than once, looking like he wanted to rush forward and fight the werewolf.
They didn’t realize Professor Brod’s good intentions at all!
"Don't be too greedy. You haven't even mastered the Luminous Spell yet. You also have the Transformation Spell and the Lock-Opening Spell." Albert poured cold water on George unceremoniously, "Now you still need to practice how to use it. The wand shoots red and green sparks."
The three of them suddenly withered like eggplants beaten by frost.
Yes, they still have a lot of magic that they have not yet fully learned. Even if Professor Brod teaches useful spells, it will be difficult for them to learn them in a short period of time.
This reality is too cruel for the three people, no, for most of the freshmen.
"If you want to learn magic, I have a book called "Practical Defense Magic and Its Restraint against Black Magic" that I can lend to you." As Albert passed the corner, he said to the three of them with a smile: "Morning's The Iron Armor Curse was found there, it is a very practical book."
When the three of them heard this, their eyes immediately shone, and they seemed eager to start studying immediately. As for what they had just said, they had already forgotten it.
"Practical Defensive Magic and Its Restraint against Dark Magic" is a book that introduces defensive magic. All the anti-jinxes and poison spells in it have colorful animated illustrations. As Albert said, this is very practical. Books, of course, are not cheap either.
The three of them could hardly look away.
“Have you learned them all?”
Not only Lee Jordan, but also the twin brothers looked at Albert expectantly, as if they planned to take the time to ask him to teach him the magic spell.
Well, teach yourself.
Due to the magic shown by Albert, the three of them all thought that they could learn other magic spells from him.
As for self-study, it is still a bit difficult.
"How is it possible? I haven't learned a few of them myself." Albert said angrily. "And you two, aren't you planning to master the lock-picking spell first?"
