A professor died at school.

When such a major incident occurred, the Ministry of Magic responded quickly and immediately sent Aurors to inquire.

But to them, this was just a routine matter. After all, it was a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor who died.

According to past experience, if the professors of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class at Hogwarts did not die due to accidents, they were basically dark wizards who died for their own ulterior secrets.

After Dumbledore presented evidence and told the Aurors that Quirrell was the dark wizard who broke into Gringotts last August. The Aurors could only hold their noses and choose to believe.

A large group of Aurors came to Hogwarts Castle aggressively, stayed for a while and then left in despair.

It seems that Dumbledore does not want the Ministry of Magic to get involved in Hogwarts matters.

After a while, the little wizards were surprised to find that not only was there a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor missing from the castle, but Hagrid, the administrator of the Forbidden Forest, was also missing.

Fortunately, Professor McGonagall stood up in time to refute the rumors, saying that Hagrid was simply unwell and was recuperating at St. Mungo’s.

Otherwise, everyone would think that the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor’s curse had spread and something happened to Hagrid.

Because of the Imperius Curse cast by Voldemort, Hagrid was taken to St. Mungo’s Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries by Dumbledore for treatment to avoid any sequelae.

Before Hagrid left, he had to entrust his beloved dragon egg to Ives.

After Ives confided to Dumbledore that Hagrid had obtained a dragon egg, it didn’t take long for Dumbledore to get a temporary dragon-raising certificate. Hagrid could stay at Hogwarts until the end of the school year. It is legal to raise dragons here.

Overjoyed, Hagrid immediately started hatching the dragon eggs, but before he could see his beloved fire dragon born, this happened.

Once the dragon eggs start hatching, they can’t stop.

Hagrid could only ask Ives. As far as he knew, he was the only one who owned the dragon egg and could take good care of it.

Snape was very interested in taking care of the dragon eggs, but before he could bring it up, Dumbledore rejected it.

Dumbledore knew clearly that Snape was interested in dragon eggs because he wanted to study what kind of potions dragon eggs could make. He didn’t want Hagrid to come back and cry to him that Snape had smashed his balls.

What’s more, there is now something more important and more interesting to Snape waiting for him – the position of professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts.

Snape had been eyeing this position for many years. He applied for it every year, only to be rejected time and time again.

Dumbledore was well aware of Voldemort’s curse on this position. Every year, he would find an unlucky person from nowhere to be the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. Naturally, he did not want anything to happen to his capable Potions professor.

However, this time is an exception. More than half of the school year has passed, and it may be too late to find someone willing to come to Hogwarts to teach.

What’s more, another Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts has died. It’s even more of a question whether anyone is willing to take up this position. Dumbledore is already having a headache about who will be the professor for next year.

At present, he can only let Snape serve as the professor of t

his course temporarily. After all, this year’s professor has died, and Snape should not have any problems again.

……

Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom.

The decoration here has been completely changed, the original door panels nailed to the doors and windows have been removed, and the sour smell in the classroom has also dissipated.

Although the whole classroom is still very dark, at least it is now acceptable to the little wizards.

When the little wizards from Ravenclaw walked into the classroom, they saw Snape leaning on the edge of the podium, his brows no longer furrowed.

It seemed that he was in a good mood to be the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor as he wished.

When everyone was seated, Snape flicked his wand, the oil lamps on the ceiling lit up one by one, and the curtains were all drawn.

After Snape finished calling the names in a gloomy voice, he suddenly asked a question:

“Mr. Evans, where did your former professor Quirrell teach?”

Avis quickly stood up and said in a respectful tone:”Vampire, Professor”

“Very good.” Snape asked Elvis to sit down with satisfaction, and said in a long voice:”Ravenclaw, plus – 1 point.”

The little wizards on the seats all looked at him in disbelief. This was the first time that Snape gave Ivy points. Usually during potions class, Snape would always come to Ivy if he had anything to do. Si’s trouble

“Humph,” he snorted again,”Next time, remember to put the honorific first before answering my question. Ravenclaw will deduct 1 point.”

The first-year Ravenclaws all breathed a sigh of relief. They almost thought Snape’s brain was broken.

“Now, turn the textbook in your hands to page 146,” Snape picked up the textbook and flipped through it a few times and said,”Today we are going to learn about Grindylow.

Terry raised his hand and said,”Professor, we learned that part of the knowledge two months ago.””

“Oh, is it so?”Snape’s face looked a little unhappy,”Then tell me how we should deal with this dark creature.”

“I……”Terry hesitated for a long time without saying a complete sentence. Finally, he lowered his head and apologized,”I’m sorry, Professor, I didn’t know.””

“Five points from Ravenclaw.” Snape slapped the textbook on the podium and said coldly:”I hope you can understand that I am not like that idiot Quirrell. I hope that in this class, I can teach you how to deal with some dark creatures, instead of just stupidly and stuttering from the textbook.”

“This sentence also means that in my class, we will only have very few theoretical classes, and most of them will be practical classes!” he said, raising his voice

“Now, turn the textbook to page 146.

Everyone hurriedly turned to that page, and Snape read the content calmly:”Grindylow is a dark creature hidden in the water plants at the bottom of the lake. It is a water devil with horns and a light green body.” Grindylows are widely distributed in lakes across Britain and Ireland, feeding on small fish and attacking both Muggles and wizards.”

“Please tell me, what are its attack methods and weaknesses?”

With a swish, Ivis and Hermione raised their hands at the same time.

Snape nodded twice casually in the air,”Miss Granger, you answer.”

“Grindylow has very long fingers, which are quite powerful when grabbing things. Once they are caught by them, they will leave deep wounds. But these fingers are also their greatest weakness and can easily break.”Hermione said a long paragraph quickly in one breath.

“very good.”Snape motioned for Hermione to sit back.
