The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts

Defense Against the Dark Arts is an interesting course. Literally speaking, this is a course that teaches students how to defend themselves against the dark arts. But what will Professor Lupine teach this year? Various ways to deal with Boggarts, Grindylows, Hinkpunks, and Red Hats.

Are these creatures within the realm of black magic?

It seems difficult to classify them as something like black magic, just as ridiculous as pointing at a hyena and calling it a weapon of mass destruction. They are all magical animals.

Professor Lu Ping's courses for this school year overlapped greatly with the teaching content of the Care of Magical Creatures class. Fortunately, there are enough types of magical animals, so it doesn't cause Newt too much trouble.

Why does this happen? This involves a question, how to become a teacher? In the non-magical world, you need to get a teaching certificate and then apply for a job in a school. Your teaching content is also planned, and it is impossible for you to teach as you wish. But the wizarding world is different. Teaching at Hogwarts does not require a teaching qualification certificate or pre-job training. You just need the approval of Headmaster Dumbledore. In addition, the teachers of this course have been changing frequently for decades, which results in different professors having different teaching styles.

Quirrell's scripted reading, Lockhart's reading comprehension, Lupin's magical zoology, Moody's True Defense Against the Dark Arts, and Umbridge's politics class...

In fact, the Defense Against the Dark Arts course should be a practical course at the beginning. As soon as class time comes, the little wizards will come to an open field and form teams for one-on-one or two-on-two duels. In that era, the prefect was supposed to be the most aggressive student in the grade, and the student council president was the most aggressive student in the school.

In that era, students had to learn how to fight, how to resolve various evil spells, how to deal with strange magical animals, and even solve various puzzles in this course. All in all, this is more of a comprehensive application course - a bit like an internship in the non-magical world.

However, as time passed, the martial arts of young wizards gradually declined, and Defense Against the Dark Arts no longer emphasized practical practice.

As the "King of Children" back then, Professor Lupine had his own unique understanding of Defense Against the Dark Arts. Based on this understanding, he came up with a very unique set of test questions.

Even Tom found this test question novel. And when he learned that Hogwarts did not have such a rigid requirement as failure rate, a bold idea came to his mind.

…

Although Professor Lupine was tight-lipped about Tom's whereabouts, the little wizards still had a rough guess in their minds. After all, it was already Thursday, and the third-year wizards were not the first batch of students to take the exam, so naturally they had heard some rumors.

Of course, the little wizards still have a very strong sense of confidentiality and only revealed a few words. This brief statement alone is not enough for students to guess the content of the test questions, but everyone can be sure that Tom Yoder became a certain part of the test.

Professor Lu Ping first asked the students to form teams, and then drew lots to enter into groups.

Since it's a team, there's a lot of trouble there. Who doesn’t want to download a dungeon with the boss? The difficulty of the dungeon is certain. The thicker the thighs, the more comfortable you will lie down.

Looking at the entire Ravenclaw third year, which thigh is thicker than Hermione Granger? There are two legs in total in the entire grade: Yodel and Granger. After Yoder disappeared, Granger became the strongest leg. Under normal circumstances, there is a high probability that the two of them would form a group to take the exam, but didn't Yodel disappear?

What's even better is that there is an invisible benefit to teaming up with Granger - with the relationship between Yodel and Granger, this exam will probably go extremely smoothly.

So after Professor Lupine announced that she could form teams freely, Hermione was suddenly surrounded by students.

Naturally, the quickest ones were the Ravenclaw students, and then a small internal fight broke out among the eaglets: the girls collectively drove the boys to the outer level.

The reason is also very simple: Yodel saw you and Granger taking the exam together. Are you sure you can pass it safely? Taking a lunch break in the school hospital may affect your afternoon exam.

Under the naked threat, the Ravenclaw boys quickly gave up the idea of ​​teaming up with Hermione and went to find their good gay partners.

The girls gathered around Hermione, chattering and clamoring to form a team with Hermione.

"Choose me, I won't be in the way!"

"Hermione, let me team up with you, I can do anything-"

"I have the secret to whitening and moisturizing!"

"I can……"

Hermione was so disturbed by the noise that she had no particularly good friends or enemies among her roommates, which made the choice extremely difficult.

"Stop, stop, stop!" Finally she stopped her excited roommates.

"You guys draw lots! I will be paired with whoever gets the draw!" This was the fairest way, and no one had anything to say.

Finally, it was Padma Patil who teamed up with Hermione.

As for the order of playing, it is decided by drawing lots by Professor Lu Ping. The first group of people drawn turned out to be Malfoy and Pansy Parkinson. Malfoy directly refused to cooperate with his two followers. He knew very well that apart from acting as human shields and causing physical damage, these two people could not help much.

"Put this on." Professor Lupine put a bracelet on each of them.

"What is this?" Malfoy asked in shock.

"If you faint, the bells on my side will ring. At that time, I will go to the venue to take you out." Professor Luping shook a pair of bells in his hand.

Malfoy:…

His face suddenly turned ugly.

"If something happens to me, I-"

"I will explain it to Mr. Lucius." Lupine guessed what he wanted to say and interrupted him expressionlessly.

"Let's go!" Malfoy, knowing that there was no regret medicine, took a deep breath, and walked into the classroom decorated by Professor Lupine with Pansy Parkinson.

Meanwhile, Lupine glanced at the clock on the wall.

About three minutes later, the bells in Professor Luping's hands rang together. The faces of the surrounding students suddenly became serious: Did Malfoy and the two of them only last three minutes? !

Professor Luping sighed and walked into the examination room. After a while, he used a floating spell to bring out the two unconscious candidates.

"I was just knocked unconscious. It's nothing serious." After Lu Ping used the curse to wake up the two of them, he took out a notebook and wrote twice on it, recording their performance and the time it took to clear the level.

After everything was taken care of, he said that their exams were over and sent Malfoy and Pansy out of the exam room.

The exam continues.
