Chapter 706 Snape's Defense Against the Dark Arts Class

In the end, Fish was unable to get Professor McGonagall to cancel the extra Herbology class.

Although for Fish, the Herbology class was basically like sleeping in a flower pot, and having one more class was not a big deal, but being tricked by Professor McGonagall still made Maomao very depressed.

So after he put away his schedule, he did not leave immediately, but sat aside and glared at Professor McGonagall fiercely.

However, Professor McGonagall did not take Maomao's sinister look seriously at all, and handled the course arrangements of other students with ease. After everyone's course selection was over, she stood up and patted Fish's head with a smile.

"Don't think I don't know what your state is like in class. What's the problem with having one more class?"

"But there are still homework, meow!"

(`н)

Fish protested angrily: "You don't let Fish use the quill pen that Rita gave me!"

"You want to use a shorthand pen for just a few classes?" Professor McGonagall glared back, causing Maomao to shrink her neck subconsciously.

Seeing that Fish was still mumbling and looking unconvinced, Professor McGonagall "kindly" reminded him: "Also, you should go to Divination class now." After saying that, she couldn't help but curl her lips.

Professor McGonagall always looked down on Divination class, and her relationship with Professor Trelawney was not very good, but Fish chose Divination class without hesitation...

She deliberately tricked the cat before, which was more or less related to Fish's choice of course.

"What meow?!"

∑(ΦДΦ)

Fish looked at his schedule belatedly, and sure enough, the first class today was Divination class.

So he looked at Hermione first, and Hermione shrugged and said, "I'm going to the ancient runes class too."

Hermione's two roommates, Parvati Patil and Lavender Brown, ran to Fish with joy, holding his arms on the left and right and walked out of the auditorium: "Great, Fish, let's go to class!"

The N.E.W.T course of Divination was not much different from the past. Professor Sybil Trelawney was still the same weird look, and Fish was still sitting at the small round table eating snacks and drinking tea, and the class passed like this.

After finishing the Divination class, Fish quickly met up with Hermione, who was holding a pile of heavy books.

"There's a lot of homework for runes," she said anxiously as she and Fish walked towards the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom, "a 15-inch-long article, two translations, and so many books to read before Wednesday!"

"Who told you to choose so many classes, meow..."

(ω)

Fish helped her put away the pile of books, and said casually. The cat would not sympathize with her at all, because this was all Hermione's own fault.

"Learning to interpret ancient runes will help you quickly master those old spells." Hermione explained seriously.

"If Fish doesn't learn this, he will learn spells the fastest meow!"

The cat raised his head proudly.

Hermione: "..."

"Just wait," she said angrily, "I dare say Snape will give us a lot of homework too."

"It doesn't matter," the cat continued to shake his head proudly, "you will have to write it anyway, meow."

As the two were talking and laughing, the door of the classroom opened and Snape walked into the corridor. He was the same as before, with greasy black hair parted on both sides, framing his sallow face.

The students waiting outside the door immediately fell silent, only Fish waved at him: "Severus, good morning meow~"

(ΦωΦ)

Snape frowned, nodded to Fish as a response, and then said: "Come in."

Everyone walked into the classroom and found that it was much darker than before. That was because the curtains were tightly drawn, and there was only the faint light from the candles... Snape had already branded his own personality traits in this classroom.

In addition, there were some pictures on the walls of the classroom that had not been there before, many of which showed people suffering, hideous wounds and strangely twisted body parts.

After the students sat down, no one spoke, and they all turned their heads to look at the gloomy and terrifying pictures on the wall.

"So far, you must have changed five teachers for this course." Snape stood on the podium, his eyes slowly but full of pressure to scan all the students below.

"Needless to say, these teachers have their own teaching methods and teaching emphases. In this chaotic situation, I am surprised that so many of you can barely pass the O.W.L. exam for this course. I will be even more surprised if you can keep up with the advanced course, because its content is much more advanced."

His words are as harsh as ever, and everyone has long been accustomed to it.

After his very personal opening remarks, Snape walked down the podium, walked around the classroom, and spoke in a lower voice.

"Dark magic, various, numerous, ever-changing, and endless. Fighting them is like fighting a multi-headed monster. As soon as you cut off one head, a new head will pop up immediately, which is more ferocious and cunning than the original one. You are facing something unpredictable and indestructible."

Everyone could feel Snape's love and admiration for the dark arts, which was completely different from the attitude of the previous professors of Defense Against the Dark Arts... even though there were two Death Eaters, a werewolf, and two prisoners in Azkaban among them.

After giving a long speech about the dark arts, Snape finally entered today's teaching content - Silent Spells.

"... I think you should be familiar with Silent Spells. Fish got a lot of extra points in the O.W.L. exam a few months ago by using Silent Spells. So... what are the benefits of Silent Spells?"

A large number of arms were raised high, and all of them were members of the Cat Club. As they had been taught a lesson by Fish several times with Silent Spells, they had a lot to say about this.

Snape looked around the classroom, his face a little dark...

Because those who raised their hands were basically students from the other three colleges, only Malfoy raised his hand in Slytherin.

"Draco." Snape decisively pointed out Malfoy's name, and the others put down their arms in dismay.

"Silent spells can be unexpected, so that the opponent does not know what specific spell you cast." Malfoy replied calmly.

"Slytherin plus ten points." Snape nodded, motioned Malfoy to sit down, and then continued: "Of course, not all wizards can do this. This requires a lot of concentration and willpower, and some people," his eyes stayed on Harry's face for a moment, and then turned to Neville, "don't have it."

Harry twitched his mouth, he was very sure that if his brain block technique was not practiced, Snape would definitely use him as an example.

"Now you will be divided into two groups," Snape continued: "One tries to cast a curse on the other, but you are not allowed to say it out loud. The other tries to repel the curse, and you are also not allowed to say it out loud... Well, Fish can move freely. Start."

The Cat Club has never practiced silent spells, because compared to practicing silent spells, Hermione and Harry and other students in charge of teaching believe that it is more important to master more spells and increase combat experience at this stage.

So when everyone started practicing, almost everyone chose to cheat. Many students were chanting spells quietly, but they just didn't make their voices louder.

Hermione went to Maomao for advice.

"Fish doesn't know either..."

(ω)

Maomao scratched the back of his head and said in a daze: "Fish just wanted to give it a try, and then he succeeded all of a sudden, meow!"

Hermione suddenly didn't want to talk to him.
