Defense Against the Dark Arts class.
Argus stood calmly on the podium.
Teaching the Ravenclaws and Hufflepuffs below.
His elegant posture and confident expression stirred up a frenzy among countless Ravenclaw witches.
What a wise eagle could not resist most was erudition and wisdom.
"Impedimenta is a spell you will use frequently in the future."
"Not only can it block the attacks of dark creatures, but it can also be used to slow down pursuers during an escape."
"It's a very useful spell for wilderness adventures."
"Mr. Grindelwald, if we have the opportunity to cast a spell, why not just use an attack spell or a quick imprisonment spell?" Padma Patil raised her hand and asked.
"Because we can't guarantee that we'll only encounter low-danger magical creatures or dark creatures in the wild."
"If it's a wicked bird or a Bowtruckle, you can naturally use a quick-binding or attack spell."
"But when we encounter high-danger creatures like the Graphorn or the Nundu, their skin's inherent high magic resistance will greatly reduce the effectiveness of our magic."
"It might even provoke them, causing unpredictable consequences."
"In contrast, Impedimenta does not directly affect the enemy itself. Although its effect is not as significant as other spells, it is more reliable."
Padma Patil nodded thoughtfully.
When she looked at Argus again, her eyes were filled with admiration.
"Understood, Mr. Grindelwald."
Argus had saved her sister's life when she was in first grade. If Argus hadn't saved Parvati from falling down the stairs, she probably wouldn't have had the courage to become a wizard.
"It's my duty," Argus smiled, unconcerned.
"Any other questions?"
"Mr. Grindelwald, I have a few questions!"
Hermione had a sly smile on her face.
One hand flipped through the notes in front of her, while the other hand was raised high.
It was obvious that this was premeditated!
"Excuse me, Miss Granger."
Argus raised his hand, showing no sign of guilt.
"Mr. Grindelwald, you just said that the Ministry of Magic classifies magical creatures into five levels according to their level of danger, is that right?"
"But there are some classifications of magical creatures that I don't quite understand, such as the Niffler and the Augurey."
"Although both are XXX level, the danger levels of the two magical creatures are clearly not on the same level."
"Take the Thestral for example. It is classified as XXXX level, but it is a docile herbivore."
Upon hearing Hermione's question, a group of young wizards all showed expressions of curiosity.
Several people were still whispering and discussing amongst themselves.
"Miss Granger has thought things through very carefully."
"If I had the authority to add points, I would definitely give Ravenclaw five points."
Argus exclaimed in admiration.
"The five levels of magical creatures do not just represent the degree of danger."
"It also includes the difficulty for wizards to deal with."
"Take the XXX level you mentioned as an example. It means that a competent wizard can handle it."
"The Niffler is indeed less dangerous to a wizard than the Augurey, but finding and dealing with it requires a wizard to carefully examine and search, which consumes far more energy than dealing with the Augurey."
"The same applies to Thestrals."
The young wizards in the audience suddenly realized.
"So that's how it is! I always thought that the higher the danger level, the more powerful the magical creatures!"
"I think so too!"
"Most wizards wouldn't even bother with such detailed knowledge! Only Argus would seriously consider it!"
"To answer this kind of question, you probably need more than just knowledge of spells—you'd need to be very knowledgeable about magical creatures too!"
"Any other questions?" Argus asked in his usual gentle manner.
"Have!"
A large group of young wizards raised their hands, displaying an unprecedented level of enthusiasm.
They were much more enthusiastic than when attending other professors' classes.
Hermione didn't even get a chance to ask!
They had previously had some concerns about Argus's knowledge base, but now it seemed that they were completely unfounded!
A teacher of the same age brought them not only novelty, but also a sense of warmth.
Unlike professors, who always exuded a sense of pressure!
Throughout the entire class, someone asked questions almost constantly, and Argus patiently answered every question that was even remotely related to Defense Against the Dark Arts.
No matter how strange the question, the little wizard who asked it always received a satisfactory answer.
Only now did they truly realize just how vast the gap was between themselves and Argus.
Everyone took on an unprecedented level of seriousness, meticulously recording every key point that Argus made.
Especially Ravenclaw!
If the previous Ravenclaw witches' crushes on Argus were merely based on physical attraction...
Now, it was utter and complete ruin!
Looking at the sparkling eyes of their little witches from their academy, even though the young wizards were seething with hatred, they couldn't help but admire Argus's knowledge from the bottom of their hearts.
...
The day's classes had ended.
Argus returned to his dormitory and threw himself onto his bed.
"I never imagined that giving a lecture would be more tiring than fighting Voldemort!"
"Besides teaching first and second graders, he also had to go to classes himself. He probably wouldn't even have time to go to Snape's office to learn about potions."
Argus could only take a short break during the time between afternoon classes and before the banquet started.
Before long, after the dinner, Professor Slughorn's club would begin.
As an assistant in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, he definitely had to go and help.
Fortunately, this club wasn't as flashy as Lockhart's.
Otherwise, he would have to go there in advance to make arrangements, and he wouldn't even have time to rest!
"Let's take a break while we still have time."
"After this break, he'll be working non-stop until curfew!"
Argus lay on the bed, closed his eyes, and cleared his mind.
He tried to relax his mind as much as possible.
He was awakened from his rest by the noisy commotion coming from the lounge.
"It seems it's time for dinner."
"Pack your things and get ready for club activities."
Argus stood up, organized the necessary materials, thought for a moment, and then put Dumbledore and Slughorn's notes inside.
He planned to take advantage of his spare time to study.
They arrived at the Great Hall of Hogwarts Castle.
It just so happened that Slughorn came to have dinner.
"Argus, how are the club preparations going tonight?"
After spending the last two days together, Slughorn and Argus had become quite familiar with each other.
This easygoing Mediterranean old man wasn't as serious as Snape or Professor McGonagall; in his treatment of students, he was somewhat similar to Professor Flitwick.
They could all get along very well with the students.
However, Slughorn's affability was only reserved for talented young wizards.
Argus bowed slightly, showing no casualness despite the other party's amiability.
"The materials are ready, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, there shouldn't be any problems!"
