Just a Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor

Of course, you can despise the enemy strategically, but you must also pay attention to the enemy tactically.

There is still more than a month before the new semester starts, and Sherlock must become familiar with magic as soon as possible during this time.

He didn't have the confidence to raise his level to the level that the original owner was enough to be a Hogwarts professor in less than two months.

But at least they must learn the common magic of most wizards, so that no one will find out about it in Hogwarts.

As for teaching...

In the first plot that Sherlock is only familiar with, Quirrell relies entirely on the teaching method of reading textbooks, and no one will find any problems. He will deal with it casually for the time being. The problem should not be big, right?

There are many magic books in the study, but most of the books on the bookshelf are high-level magic books. At Sherlock's current level, he can't read them either.

But soon he found the textbooks that the original owner used when he was at Hogwarts from the cabinet under the desk.

From the first grade to the seventh grade, they have not been sold or abandoned by him.

This is naturally the best thing for Sherlock.

He was sitting in front of the desk, and there was naturally a candle floating in the air that was always floating above him to illuminate this space for him.

Those teapots and teacups that looked like living creatures also consciously poured a cup of hot tea for him and quietly placed them aside.

To tell the truth, the life of a wizard can easily provide happiness to those who have not experienced such a life.

You don't have to think about any trivial matters at all, the little objects with magic power will solve everything for you.

First, take out all the first-year textbooks. Sherlock only picked out "Standard Spells: Beginner" and "Beginner's Guide to Transfiguration". Other books such as Potions and Herbs and Astronomy are included. to the side.

Charms and Transfiguration, the two magics commonly used by wizards in daily life, are the most important keys for him to learn now.

The potions are not unimportant, but they are not helpful to his current situation.

When he opened the textbook on magic spells, the pages looked a little old, and the corners were obviously wrinkled because of the repeated page turning, but the most striking thing on it was the densely packed notes in the margin.

The original owner's character problem is very big, but it is also undeniable that he is indeed very talented in magic and works very hard.

Just from his spell book full of notes, you can see how eager the original owner, who was only 11 years old at the time, was for magical knowledge.

At the same time, this is convenient for Sherlock today.

The first spell taught in textbooks is the levitation spell.

This spell is the most basic, easiest to learn, and one of the most frequently used spells by wizards.

The spell of the enchantment is: Wingardim Leviosa.

Next to this spell, the original owner specifically marked the key points of spellcasting that the professor emphasized during class.

The correct pronunciation is: Yuga-Dimlevy-O-Sa, the sound of Jia should be long and clear, and the wand in his hand should be waved.

After understanding the key, Sherlock cleared his throat, raised his wand, and aimed it at a small piece of paper on the desk, ready to make his first attempt.

"Wingardim Leviosa."

He chanted the spell, and flicked the wand in his hand at the piece of paper.

The next moment, the small piece of paper miraculously floated out of thin air from the table!

Just using it for the first time, Sherlock's spell succeeded!

He stared at the piece of paper floating in front of him in a daze.

The fact that he could successfully use the Levitation Spell once was not because of Sherlock's extraordinary talent.

But when he chanted the spell, his body didn't feel the slightest bit of jerky. This floating spell seemed to be used by him countless times, and it came out naturally.

Sherlock blinked, and then used the spell again on the piece of paper that fell back to the desk.

"Wingardim Leviosa."

The result was the same as the previous one, and the piece of paper was successfully suspended again.

For him, the process in the middle is as skilled and natural as drinking water and eating.

After that, Sherlock didn't stop, he quickly flipped back through the spell book to find the next repairing spell.

According to the correct pronunciation method and spell casting gesture recorded in the notes in the book, he chanted the spell on the torn piece of paper on the desk.

"Repaired as before."

In the next second, the torn paper was perfectly restored to its previous appearance, and there was no damage at all.

Only then did Sherlock's face show joy.

However, he still didn't stop, and continued to try the Fire Charm, Locking Charm, and Softening Charm.

Finally, he encountered obstacles on the cutting spell, the most difficult spell to learn in the first-year textbook.

But if it was a hindrance, it was only the first time that the spell was unsuccessful.

After Sherlock tried two more times, his body automatically helped him correct the original wrong pronunciation and gestures, and the spell was successfully released.

To be able to have such a level has already made him very satisfied.

Sure enough, although he didn't get his golden finger to the account after he crossed over, God didn't let him go to a dead end.

As recorded in the first-year textbook, the magic that the original owner had mastered long ago has been deeply engraved in his physical memory.

Even if Sherlock himself is very unfamiliar with these spells, as long as he starts to learn to use them, he will master them very quickly.

For example, simple spells such as levitation spells and repair spells can be successfully released by even reading the spells once.

Even if it is a difficult spell, as long as he practices more, it is not too troublesome to master.

With such help, although Sherlock cannot quickly reach the same level of magic as the original owner.

But at least it can make him look like an adult wizard who has been educated at Hogwarts for seven years.

So, for the next month or so, Sherlock stayed in this study all day, familiarizing himself with a lot of basic spells every day.

In the middle, Professor McGonagall wrote to her again, urging him to send her the textbook list for the new semester.

Sherlock casually copied the title of the Defense Against the Dark Arts textbook that the original owner used in the seventh grade when he was in school, and asked Professor McGonagall's owl to bring it back.

It was not until this day in mid-August that he had to come out of the study.

Because there was only half a month before the start of school, he had to go to Diagon Alley, a magical street in London, the capital of England, to purchase some items for Hogwarts.

Before that, just entering the Leaky Cauldron Bar in Diagon Alley and where it was located in London was a headache for Sherlock.

Fortunately, in the study, there was a wizard's travel journal that happened to record this answer.
