Just a Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor

The model placed by Sherlock in the lecture was a humanoid magical creature that looked a bit like a goblin but wore a bright red hat on its head.

The little wizards below all poked their heads towards the red hat. Even the pure-blooded little wizards who came from a family of wizards were basically the first time they saw this kind of creature.

Or that black magic creatures in the wizarding world are not common.

In normal society, after the footprints and whereabouts of Muggles have spread to every corner of the world, wizards' exploration of magical creatures around the world has gradually entered a bottleneck.

Magical creatures that can be domesticated and can act as wizards' helpers have become pets, such as civet cats, owls, and mice (the owls and mice in the magical world are not the same species as those in the normal world).

Those who are dangerous, but have the opportunity to be domesticated by professional wizards, are protected by collective captivity, and the most representative is the fire dragon.

Black magic creatures that are dangerous, but cannot be domesticated, or are not worthy of being domesticated, are driven into inaccessible forests, rivers or deserts so that they do not pose a threat to Muggles or wizards with low magical skills.

So now, if the wizards of the new generation are not professional adventurers, they rarely have the opportunity to see real black magic creatures.

The red hat model Sherlock took out was purchased from an alchemy shop in Diagon Alley.

He saw the living creature-like fire dragon models in the display cabinet and found it very interesting, so he found the shop owner specifically, hoping to customize a batch of magical models about black magic creatures.

Making this kind of thing is much easier than making a fire dragon model, and the owner of the alchemy item shop readily agreed.

And proposed a large quantity favorably, plus the model itself does not have any technical content, so I did not charge Sherlock much money.

These models are perfect for teaching first-year students.

The freshmen who have just entered the school and have not learned any magic can not only see the real black magic creatures with their own eyes, but also do not have to worry about what danger they will encounter.

And the red hat model Sherlock placed on the podium, after landing, held a wooden stick that was very large relative to its own size, and walked around on the podium with its teeth and claws, as if it would meet at any time. Seeing which little wizard is not pleasing to the eye, it is like hitting him in the head.

"It looks so ugly!"

There are students talking.

"Like the goblins guarding Gringotts, but it looks a lot more fierce than those goblins."

"That red hat on his head is quite interesting."

"The hat is bad—that's a sign of its evil..."

A erratic voice caught Sherlock's attention. It was a little Ravenclaw girl with dark blond brown hair, and he remembered her name when he just called him.

Luna Lovegood.

A very familiar name, like a character who also played a lot in the original book.

Sherlock tapped the podium with the end of his wand, drawing the attention of the students in the classroom back to him, and began to introduce the origin of this black magic creature.

"Red hats are black magical creatures mainly distributed in the Nordic battlefield ruins or forests. They look like goblins and are tyrannical in nature. Their main weapons are the pair of sharp claws and the wooden stick in their hands."

"According to statistics, from 1900 to the present, for nearly 100 years, there have been 86 red hat attacks throughout Europe, of which 43 people died, 42 were Muggles, and an inexperienced wizard was beaten. Broken skull and died."

Hearing these bloody data, all the little wizards breathed heavily involuntarily, and even the eyes that looked at the red hat model were not as novel and excited as they were at the beginning.

"They are so named because they often wear a red hat on their head,

So does anyone know why this black magic creature only wears a red hat? "

Sherlock asked timely questions to liven up the atmosphere in the class.

But there were very few little wizards who obviously knew the answer, and Luna, the little girl Sherlock had just noticed, raised her hand.

"Miss Lovegood."

Luna stood up, her silver eyes seemed to be wandering all the time, not staring at the things in front of them, giving people a crazy feeling.

"Blood, red hats will dye their hats red with the blood of their prey, and when their hats fade, they will go to the next prey."

Hearing her answer, Sherlock nodded lightly, instead of complimenting him, he gave the most direct reward.

"Five points for Ravenclaw. We got a standard answer from Miss Lovegood."

"He wears a red hat dyed with blood on his head, which is where the name of this dark magic creature comes from."

"However, although this magical creature has a brutal character, it is actually a very common threat to wizards. In the Ministry of Magic's classification of magical creatures, the red hat's level is: XXX."

"As long as the wizard uses magic on them, no matter what the effect is, they will be scared away, so it is enough to see that the wizard who was killed by the red hat in this century will become a joke in many people."

"I don't want such a joke to appear among my students in the future. After today's defense class is over, each of you must write an essay on the habits, weaknesses and correct responses of the creatures like red hats. Ten inches of parchment, give it to me in the next class."

"I will select the one with the best homework and give him the red hat model as a reward."

Hearing Sherlock say this, the girls are still not interested in this reward. After all, the red hat looks a little awkward, but the boys are all excited.

A group of 11-year-olds, who doesn't like magic models that look like living creatures?

Before the end of this defense class, Sherlock specially showed them the cloth bag in his hand.

"It contains the black magic creatures that we will learn in the next semester. According to the completion of your homework, I will also send them as rewards. By the end of the semester, the students who get the most model awards, I can Allow him to waive the final exam and go straight to an O (Outstanding)."

His words aroused the enthusiasm of the girls.

The attraction of getting an O without taking an exam is still great. The freshmen of the two academies are all looking forward to the future Defence Against the Dark Arts class.

Sherlock's first class for first-year freshmen was very good in terms of the final effect.

But the biggest test for him today is not to teach these freshmen who have just entered the school and haven't even learned a single magic spell.

It was the afternoon class for second graders.
