Chapter 521: Come on, run

Chapter 521 Hurry up and run

Sirius was very popular at Hogwarts. When he walked into the auditorium, everyone looked over. The originally noisy auditorium suddenly became quiet, but then there was a more lively discussion.

Harry looked very excited. He used to get up and come to the Great Hall after half past eight, but today he came half an hour earlier for the first time and came at eight o'clock.

When he saw Sirius, he waved excitedly.

However, some people like Sirius, the new professor, and naturally some people don't like him.

The Slytherins sneered and walked past.

 "Are you glad, Potter?"

Seeing his appearance, Malfoy couldn't help but mocked: "You'd better start praying now so that he can last until next year... The previous Defense Against the Dark Arts professors didn't end well."

"Don't worry, Malfoy, it will be possible." Harry said: "Even your father can get away with it, why can't Sirius get rid of the curse of Defense Against the Dark Arts?

“Oh, speaking of this, I heard that your family even sold the shop in Diagon Alley. It must have cost a lot of money.”

Malfoy's pale face turned slightly red, and he subconsciously stretched out his wand.

“How dare you speak of my father, Potter!”

"You were the one who said Sirius first." Harry also took out his wand and said **** for tat.

"What happened?" Sirius heard the noise and walked over immediately.

"Teach...Professor!" Harry said quickly: "It's Malfoy, he's talking about you behind your back."

"oh?"

Sirius looked at Malfoy, "Didn't Snape teach you not to talk about the professor behind his back?"

"I didn't." Malfoy frowned and said, "Potter slandered my father..."

　　"Five points deducted from Slytherin for contradicting the professor..." Sirius raised his eyebrows, "Now, if you don't want to be detained, go back to where you belong."

Malfoy was so angry that he gasped, "I will tell Professor Snape that you..."

"You'd better go now." Sirius sneered: "Hurry up and run, don't make me wait too long."

Malfoy left angrily.

The next second, there was a burst of cheers around the Gryffindor table, and several students stood on stools and danced in celebration.

 Before today, whenever Gryffindor and Slytherin had a conflict, they were always the ones punished.

 But it’s different now.

 What Sirius did just now was exactly the same as Snape did before, except this time the person being punished became Slytherin.

Even though Sirius had left, the people around him were still discussing what had just happened.

"Don't talk to me." Ron whispered to Harry and Hermione: "I want to remember this forever. It's great that Hogwarts finally has a professor who favors us."

 “Yes.” Harry was also very happy. He was also the one who was punished the most by Snape. Every time he had a conflict with someone from Slytherin, no matter who was right or wrong, Snape would find trouble for him.

 But not anymore... Harry looked at Sirius's back as he left, feeling excited in his heart.

Hermione was the only person nearby who did not cheer and celebrate. Even if Harry and Ron talked to her, she ignored them. She just sat there staring at the plate of cornflakes in front of her in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking.

 After this incident, many people began to look forward to Sirius's first class.

"We won't have Defense Against the Dark Arts until Wednesday." Ron looked at his class schedule with a disappointed expression on his face, "Why couldn't he come a week earlier..."

There are many more sounds like this.

 But these have nothing to do with fifth grade. Professor Moody walked into the classroom on his wooden prosthetic legs as usual, as if the arrival of Sirius Black had not affected him in any way.

“The Disarming Charm,” he said. “Does anyone know about this spell?”

Autumn raised his hand, "Let the opponent lose his wand."

"Absolutely correct." Professor Moody said, "I would say that the effect of this spell is no worse than the Death Curse. When a wizard loses his wand, he will also lose the ability to resist. Of course, I am referring to the difference in strength. Not a big deal.

"Let me tell you something you don't like to hear. Even if I don't use a magic wand, I can easily deal with you...well, most of them."

His magic eyes seemed to pause on Kyle for a moment, and then he continued: "The disarming spell, the stun spell, and the binding spell are also the three most commonly used spells by Aurors and strikers.

“And I can tell you in advance that the disarming spell will definitely appear in the upcoming O.W.L.”

　　Everyone immediately sat up straight when they heard about the exam... Recently, they have been going crazy with exams, and they dream about all kinds of scores every day.

Even Trelawny’s daily prophecy has become a score that symbolizes failure... The effect is much better than before. No matter who is named, they will be uneasy for the next few days.

 This also gave Professor Trelawney a great sense of satisfaction, and the number of predictions became more frequent.

Therefore, everyone is naturally very concerned about the score-sending questions that will definitely appear in this kind of exam.

"Speaking of the disarming curse..." Professor Moody rolled his eyes, "I understand that you were exposed to this curse when you were in third grade. Come on, let me see how much you have learned."

 He took out his wand and motioned to the students sitting in the first row to use the disarming spell on him.

"Ha, I just remembered the spell." A Ravenclaw boy stood up and confidently thrust his wand forward, "Expelliarmus!"

"Crack..." A string of sparks shot out from the tip of the wand, which flashed for a few times before extinguishing, but Professor Moody's wand was still held in his hand.

"This is a wand, Mr. Thomas, not a one-handed sword." Professor Moody said calmly: "You don't mean to poke my hand with it."

There was a burst of laughter from all around, but the boy lowered his head and said nothing.

 “Sit down,” said Professor Moody. “Next...”

The next person standing up was the Ravenclaw student. Although his performance was a little better than the first person, his blow was crooked and directly blew a hole in the window behind him.

 There was laughter all around again.

 But they soon stopped laughing, because Professor Moody did not check in order of seats, but chose to call the names directly.

Those who laughed the most just now, none of them ran away, and then they became the laughing stock of others.

“It seems that I think highly of you.” Professor Moody only named one-third of the names, and then gave up on the decision.

 “How on earth did you learn it and forget it all so quickly?”

Forehead…

 Everyone looked at each other in confusion. It couldn't be said that when they were learning this spell, they were all too busy watching Lockhart make a fool of himself.

Furthermore, the dueling club was only held once. After that, neither Lockhart nor other professors mentioned the disarming spell again.

 It’s normal that they haven’t learned it yet.

"alright, I got it."

Professor Moody seemed to have seen what most people were thinking, and continued: "Now, everyone put down their wands, turn the book to page 165, and copy down all the content about the disarming spell... I will Let me remind you again, this curse is very important and will definitely appear in the O.W.L. exam."

Soon there was only the rustle of copying notes in the classroom. Professor Moody stood at the front, observing everyone's movements with his magic eyes, and whispered:

“That liar Lockhart, his only contribution to Hogwarts is probably to let you know the disarming spell in advance.”
