Just a Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor

Using Transfiguration to become Tom to teach is actually completely helpless for Sherlock.

He has only been familiar with the original master's magic skills for about two months, and he has not been able to raise his level to the level of an adult wizard.

Based on the progress of Sherlock's studies at Hogwarts, he estimated that his current level of magic understanding should be comparable to that of sixth-grade students, but the amount of magic he knew was much higher than theirs.

Therefore, he knows a lot of more effective ways of transfiguration, but he can't make the deformed objects more detailed and realistic.

In order to avoid drawing a tiger to be a dog, Sherlock simply chose Tom, a cartoon character with not so many details and a very simple deformation, from the very beginning.

Anyway, as long as Tom has the magical effect that he added when he deformed, it is enough. Expressing it in the form of Tom cat can also slightly change the students' perception of him.

At least the person who likes to watch Tom and Jerry will definitely not be an impersonal professor like Snape.

As for finding a few real black magic creatures as teaching props, Sherlock also considered it.

But he, who lived carefully in Hogwarts, didn't know how to get those things.

But this matter may be resolved through Hagrid in the future.

The challenges in the classroom continue.

The successive failures of the Hufflepuff boys and Ron aroused the desire to win among the remaining little wizards.

When they were watching, they didn't feel how powerful Tom was, but he was a little faster, and his body was soft, with the ability to change shape at will, and nothing else special.

The Tom transformed by Sherlock is indeed not such a powerful deformer.

Not to mention the basic spell "Burning Flame" that he learned in the fourth grade can be defeated, and the universal unlocking spell "Surveillance" that can be learned in the third grade alone can also release the transformation, allowing Tom to return to the original ordinary one. desk.

But unfortunately, this class is all about second-year little wizards, and they don't have a grasp of whether it's a blazing flame or a curse.

So they, who would only monotonously use magic spells against the enemy, used the wheel station to challenge the whole class, and no one let their magic hit Tom.

Near the end of the get out of class, Sherlock turned Tom back into the desk, asked the students to return to their seats, and summarized the questions for them.

"Tom is not strong, you can all feel it, but why is no one able to beat it?"

"Is the spell you learned not strong enough? Or is the venue limiting your performance?"

"Maybe there are reasons for these, but in this classroom, is it really not enough to beat it with what you have learned in the first grade?"

"Or, do you think that the magic knowledge you learned in first grade is only foolishly waving your wand, aiming spells at the enemy and releasing them?"

"How to use what you have learned to beat Tom, think about this as your homework. Go back and think about how to write your ideas on parchment. Your homework is not limited in length, as long as it is effective, even if it has only one word. ."

"In the next class, you can challenge Tom again according to the way you wrote in your homework. Those who are successful can still add 20 points, but there is no way to avoid the homework for the next month."

At the end of the second-year class, the students of Gryffindor and Hufflepuff left the classroom excitedly.

In theory, this class is their first true Defense Against the Dark Arts class. Last semester, Quirrell read the defense class in the textbook every day and it was no different from self-study reading books by himself.

It was very interesting to take Professor Forrest's class.

This is the first day of school, the consensus of the first- and second-year students who have taken the Defense Against the Dark Arts class.

And what happened to Tom also made them discover from the side.

Professor Forrest, who usually has a cold face and speaks hard, is actually not as cold and inhumane as he appears on the surface.

A person with an indifferent heart will definitely not like Tom Cat, is it not a cartoon that makes people happy?

So, even though Sherlock behaved the same as Snape, both of them put on an indifferent face when speaking and teaching.

But the students, especially those who have taken defense classes, are not very afraid of him.

A few days after the start of school, several Ravenclaw students who were outspoken ran to Sherlock's office to ask questions related to Defense Against the Dark Arts.

Judging from this trend, Hogwarts students and new professors get along very well.

This is what Sherlock is happy to see.

This perception will only affect other Hogwarts professors until the student learns that he is not an aloof and withdrawn problem personality.

With this subtle completion, he changed his mind in the minds of Professor McGonagall and Dumbledore.

Just as Dumbledore said at the opening dinner, if he looks forward to his own change, then he can show him an open and fair change.

The first and second grade teaching ended on the first day of school, and Sherlock was even more prepared for the next senior grades teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts.

On the morning of the second day of school, the fifth-grade students were whispering with anticipation, and Professor Forrest would give them a new lesson.

They saw Sherlock walking in with a thick stack of parchment.

"After rising to the fifth grade, do you know what the biggest challenge you will face?"

At the beginning of the class, Sherlock didn't talk too much nonsense and started his opening remarks directly.

Under the podium, all the students shook their heads in bewilderment, and they didn't know what kind of challenge they were going to face.

Sherlock shook his head in disappointment.

"It's really a generation that's worse than a generation. When I was in school, even the fourth graders were already nervous. You all started fifth grade this year, but you don't know why you should prepare."

This is exactly what Sherlock was using to talk nonsense at Hogwarts with the words of his teacher in his previous life. He never went to school at Hogwarts, so how would he know whether the original owner was nervous or not in the fourth grade.

"O.W.L.s, the general wizard rank exam, this is at the end of the fifth grade, and you will face the first magic exam that will determine your future."

"Unlike the previous final exams, the OWLs will be held by the Ministry of Magic, and there will be a total of twelve subject exams. The results of the exam will still be graded according to O, E, A, P, D, but this time the grading will determine the Ministry of Magic. The tests you learned at Hogwarts for five years are also an important basis for other wizards to identify your abilities after you leave the campus."

"Defense Against the Dark Arts is one of these twelve examination subjects, and it is also a subject that everyone must take."

"Professor Quirrell's teaching effect was not ideal last semester, which means that you have actually fallen behind the learning progress of the normal year, so in the next year's defense class, you must prepare for this test. Work harder."

"For your study in the next year, I have arranged a complete plan-exam-oriented education plan."
