Chapter 670: Tonks' Disguise Lesson

 Chapter 670 Tonks’ Disguise Lesson

 When they returned to the locker room, everyone was still immersed in a cheerful atmosphere.

"I guess that Davis must be pretending to be sick..." Mikel said excitedly: "He knew a long time ago that Ravenclaw would definitely not win this game, and Kyle has a Firebolt."

"Don't say that." Cedric put on his robe, shook his head and said: "Harry Potter of Gryffindor also has a Firebolt, and he is also a Seeker. If Roger Davis really If you are afraid of losing the game, quitting the team directly is the best choice.

"And Qiu also said yesterday that Davis was knocked off the broom by a Bludger yesterday. It seems that Madam Pomfrey did not allow him to be discharged from the hospital so soon."

 “Okay…” Mikel said, shuddering subconsciously.

When he was in the first grade, Mikel had already seen Mrs. Pomfrey’s methods. If she insisted not to let Davis participate in the competition, it would be useless even if Professor Flitwick went.

“Okay, let’s go.” Cedric said with a smile, “How about having a banquet in the common room tonight. After all, this is the first victory of the year and we need to celebrate it.”

Other players immediately agreed and left the locker room happily.

The castle was also immersed in a sea of ​​joy. A game seemed to break through the haze that had shrouded Hogwarts these days. People gradually no longer cared about the mysterious people and Death Eaters who had no news, but instead turned their attention to Put it in the upcoming Defense Against the Dark Arts class.

 Following the publicity from the sixth grade students, most people knew that the new teachers had arrived at Hogwarts.

"I really hope the people who come this time can teach us something new," Hannah said in the common room. "I've had enough of copying and reciting. It's just Christmas and I've already spent all the money I spent on parchment. I’ve spent one more Galleons than last year, and if this continues, my pocket money won’t be enough.”

"Probably not." Cedric said, "In my impression, she and Umbridge have two completely different personalities."

 “Do you know that professor?” Hannah looked over.

"Yeah." Cedric nodded, "She happened to be in the seventh grade when I first entered school, but she had been selected as an intern Auror at that time and was often away from school."

"Then what kind of person is she?" Mikel asked curiously: "Is she the same as you? She was selected as an Auror in seventh grade, so her grades must be excellent. I think she has at least ten certificates. "

"No, quite the opposite." Cedric thought for a while and said hesitantly: "Although she and I didn't interact much or talk to each other, many people at the time said that Tonks was assigned to Hercules. Chippa's Gryffindor."

"What does this mean?" Mikel blinked, "Isn't she a Hufflepuff graduate? Why did she become a Gryffindor again?"

“It means that her personality is like that of a Gryffindor...but she is not so law-abiding.” Cedric searched his guts and finally found a description that sounded good to him.

 After all, the other party is now a professor, so it is always not good to talk about her behind her back.

"Ah, I remembered it." At this time, a seventh-grade student suddenly said: "The influential figure who led Hufflepuff and Slytherin to fight after the last Quidditch match seemed to be called Nymphadora."

 Cedric turned his head and said nothing, which was regarded as acquiescence.

 Everyone became interested immediately.

"Tell me more carefully..." Upon seeing this, the people around him immediately took out candies, biscuits, peanuts and other small snacks from their pockets, and gathered around the seventh grader.

"That's it...it was the last Quidditch match. We and Slytherin, whoever wins will be the final champion. But during the game, they used a dirty trick to knock our main force Harris off the broomstick. The situation continued, causing us to lose by 30 points in the end.

"Then when Slytherin was celebrating, a person suddenly rushed up from his seat and started fighting with them. Because all the Hufflepuffs were suffocating in their hearts at that time, so when they saw someone taking the lead, they ignored them all. I followed him regardless... The scene was so spectacular, but the professors were very angry. That was also the first time I saw Professor McGonagall get angry."

“Oh, that’s cool!” Hannah’s eyes flashed with stars, and then she asked with a worried look on her face: “But taking the lead in the fight...she must have been punished, right? Is she in solitary confinement?”

 “No!” The man shook his head.

"No?" Hannah was stunned for a moment, "It can't be expelled...I mean, people who are expelled can't be Aurors, right?"

"Of course it's not expulsion." Cedric continued: "In fact, the professors couldn't find who was the leader. Everyone in Slytherin said it was a red-haired girl who took the lead. But the problem was that Hector was the leader at that time. There are no girls with red hair at Chipachi Academy.”

A burst of disbelieving exclamations suddenly came from the common room.

"Could they be people from other houses?" Someone said at this time: "Don't the Weasleys have red hair? Maybe they sat at the Hufflepuff table in advance."

“The only girl in the Weasley family hadn’t entered school yet,” Cedric said. “And they searched the whole school and couldn’t find the person they remembered.”

"Wait a minute..." Mikel asked in confusion: "If that's the case, then why do you say this is related to Nymphadora Tonks."

“Because she has a special ability to change the color of her hair, she is the most suspicious person.”

Cedric said vaguely: "But she claimed that she was detained by Filch because she was playing in the corridor. She was always in his office and did not go to the auditorium.

“This incident was later confirmed by Filch. Although many people at the time believed that she was the culprit, there was no evidence.

“And she graduated and became an Auror a week later, so the matter was over.”

 “Oh…” Stars appeared in Hannah’s eyes again.

 Leading the entire academy in a fight and finally escaping unharmed, just hearing about it makes people's blood boil.

“I’m already looking forward to the Defense Against the Dark Arts class.” Mikel asked excitedly: “When will our next class be?”

“It happens to be tomorrow,” Kyle said. “The second class in the morning.”

 “Why can’t it be the first class?”

"Are you sure?" Ryan said with a smile, "Don't forget that our professor is still Umbridge, that Nymphadora Tonks is only here to assist her."

Mikel’s face immediately dropped, “Please, can you not say these disappointing things when I am happy.”

 There was a burst of laughter all around.

Although Ryan was right, they did not replace the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, but there was still some hope.

 …

 On the next day, Kyle and others went to the Charms class first.

 Since a week ago, Professor Flitwick has not allowed everyone to recite incantations, which has also led to various situations in the classroom.

Mikel's wand exploded, spraying out a series of sparks that almost set Professor Flitwick's hair on fire.

A Gryffindor girl waved her wand, and all her hair stood up, looking like she was holding a unique broom.

Someone's spell fell on the table, and then the table came to life, spreading its legs and running wildly in the classroom. Professor Flitwick, who was maintaining order, was not aware of it, and was even kicked in the head by it.

Kyle thought this should be a kind of transformation spell. The table obviously thought it was a cow.

Fortunately, Professor Flitwick had long been used to seeing similar things. He had rich experience and was not angry. He patted his clothes and stood up from the ground. He quickly restored the classroom to its original state and punished the two students by chanting a curse in a low voice. people.

 After class, everyone hurriedly wrote down their homework and rushed out the door. They arrived early in the Defense Against Dark Arts classroom and waited.

Five minutes later, Umbridge walked into the classroom, but that was not the point. Everyone was surprised to find that there was another person beside her. It was the witch who took the lead in cheering for Hufflepuff during the Quidditch match. .

 Some students subconsciously looked at Tonks' hair...

“Look, the gray hair.” Mikel said in a low voice: “Her hair yesterday was yellow and black, just like the Hufflepuff flag. I remember it very clearly.”

In addition to Mikel, others also noticed the change in Tonks' hair color, and this discovery made them extremely excited.

"It seems that what Cedric and the others said are true." Mikel looked ahead excitedly, "I wonder what she will teach us... I hope she beat Slytherin back then and the professor can't find out. method, I’ve always wanted to do this.”

 “Then you may be disappointed.” Kyle glanced at him.

Disguisemagus are almost always born, and even if Tonks wanted to teach them, no one else could learn them.

At this time, Umbridge and Tonks had already walked to the podium.

As before, Umbridge still smiled fakely,

"Then, open your "Magical Defense Theory", where did we read last time." No one answered her, and most people didn't even move. There were only a few people who wanted to open the book, and they were also in this weird way. In the atmosphere, he slowly stopped what he was doing.

"Professor, reading shouldn't help us resist the mysterious man." A clear voice came from the classroom.

"I have reminded you many times to raise your hands when speaking in my class!" Umbridge shouted loudly: "Also, the Ministry of Magic will protect your safety. You just need to follow the arrangements of the Ministry of Magic and be honest. Just be in school.”

 “But we can’t be in school all the time.”

"I said, raise your hands!" Umbridge raised her voice again, "I say again, the Ministry of Magic will protect your safety. Now turn the book to page 175, we..."

 “Sorry, Professor Umbridge.”

 Someone interrupted her again.

Umbridge was about to get angry, but realized that it was Tonks who spoke this time.

She held a class schedule in her hand and pretended to look at it, "According to the latest curriculum, it seems that I need to teach today's lesson."

As she spoke, she spread out the schedule in front of Umbridge, "Look, there's my name on the back."

"You..." Umbridge's face darkened, "Don't forget, I am the professor of this course, you are just here to assist me."

"I've always remembered this, and I've said it many times," Tonks said.

 “Then you should follow my instructions and open the book to...”

 “Sorry, Professor Umbridge.” Tonks interrupted her again,

"But this is a task assigned to me by the minister, and it must be completed. Otherwise, if someone tells the Ministry of Magic that I was perfunctory and did nothing, I'm afraid the minister will be angry."

 “What if I must go to class.”

"Of course, you are the professor and you have the final say." Tonks said nonchalantly: "But in order to keep my salary, I can only write a letter to the ministry to explain the situation.

"You know, the Ministry is very concerned about Hogwarts, and no one can be lazy."

　　"Very good, very good." Umbridge stared at Tonks, "Then I leave this lesson to you, Professor Tonks."

 She said the last two words very hard.

 “I’m just a facilitator, you’re the professor.” Tonks corrected.

But Umbridge didn't show any joy. She didn't even look at Tonks anymore, but walked straight off the podium and left the classroom.

The moment the door was closed, there was a burst of cheers in the classroom.

"Okay, don't be so excited." Tonks waved her hand.

When everyone calmed down, she continued: "Why are you still dazed? Hurry up and put away that **** "Magic Defense Theory". If you ask me, what is written in it is nonsense and of no use at all.

“Of course, I’m not saying it’s bad, but the content in it is so stereotyped that it’s almost difficult for you to use it in real situations.”

Before she finished speaking, there was no book on the table, and some people even took out their wands early.

"Put your wand away, too," Tonks said, "because before class... I have to confirm how well you are doing with Transfiguration. This is very important."

 “Transfiguration?” Some people didn’t understand, “But this is Defense Against the Dark Arts class.”

"I know, but what I want to teach is Transfiguration... like this."

Tonks tapped her face with the wand. Her cheeks immediately puffed up and her chin became slightly flattened.

Even though it was just a small change, it made her look like a different person. If the situation were different, even if she walked towards her, Kyle might not be able to recognize that it was Tonks.

“Disguise class,” Tonks said. “It’s a way to temporarily change your appearance without the need for potions.

"I know, some of you are dismissive of this, thinking that it is enough to learn human body transformation, why do you need to do more, right?"

Her eyes swept around the classroom. Some people immediately put away the disappointment on their faces, but these people were basically Gryffindors. They wanted to learn more powerful magic, not this... Already learned in Transfiguration class, or something that can be done with a potion.

 But they did not notice that the Hufflepuffs who came to class together had their eyes red with excitement after hearing what Tonks said.

 “I knew it, haha!” Mikel couldn’t help laughing.

Kyle didn't say anything. He didn't expect Tonks to use human transformation to replace the Metamorphmagus. She should be assisting Professor McGonagall.

"I need to warn you here..." On the podium, Tonks continued: "If you haven't practiced, using human body transformation to change your appearance will only make you more conspicuous in the crowd."

"Mr. Thomas." She named a person, "I think you don't really agree with what I said."

"No, Professor," said a Gryffindor, standing up.

"Just call me a teaching assistant." Tonks said, "It doesn't matter. You can try like I did just now. If you can make it unrecognizable to others, then whatever you want to do in this class will be fine."

"real?"

 “Of course,” Tonks said with a smile.

 “Okay!” The man immediately took out his wand and clicked on his face.

Then, there was a sudden burst of laughter from the surroundings. Some people held their stomachs and almost burst into tears.

 “What’s wrong?” He was a little confused.

Tonks didn't answer, but turned into a mirror in front of him.

The man just looked at it and let out a scream.

It was obvious that he also wanted to imitate Tonks, but he didn't grasp the right balance and went too far. The transformation magic even affected his nose, which made him look like a domesticated child who drank a swelling potion. Just like an elf...and he drank expired swelling potion.

But to a certain extent, he did succeed. Now no one can recognize who he is, including himself.

Tonks took out her wand, suppressed a smile and waved it to help him remove the influence of the transformation spell.

“This is what I am saying, human body transformation without training cannot serve the purpose of hiding oneself at all.

"Now, does anyone still want to try it? The conditions remain unchanged. As long as it succeeds, this class can be free."

 Everyone avoided her eyes, especially the girls. They simply lowered their heads and pretended not to hear anything.

"Very good." Tonks nodded with satisfaction, "Then let's start with the basics."

She waved her magic wand, and everyone had a rabbit in front of them.

“Before using it on yourself, it’s best to practice on them first so that you can master the strength.”

Kyle also had a rabbit in front of him, but he didn't take action immediately like the others.

 In fact, he is not very interested in the content of Tonks' religion... Magic has its own traces, including transfiguration. No matter how perfect it is, it will be seen through by a powerful wizard at a glance.

For example, Dumbledore and Voldemort, if you want to deceive them in appearance, there are only two ways...Polyjuice Potion, and Disguise Magus.

Of course, for most Death Eaters, this method is quite effective. Their perception of magic is not that keen, and they may not be able to detect it accidentally.

But if he encounters a Death Eater, Kyle doesn't need to change his appearance to save his life. He has a simpler and more crude way. It will be the Death Eater who wants to escape.

 In general, the content taught by Tonks is only useful to most students, and it is a bit useless for Kyle.
