"Alright, you win. Do you need more ingredients for the Wolfvenom Potion now? I still have six hundred gold coins left from the money you gave me.”When Snape heard Leon's words, he didn't think Leon was bragging. After all, he didn't know Leon's depth.
"Oh, is there any left?" Leon was a little surprised. He knew about the potion, but he wasn't sure about its price. The only reason he knew about the cost of the ingredients for the Wolfvenom Potion was that Snape had told him about it the last time he had refined it.
" Of course, what do you think? Potions aren't scarce. Other than some rare potions that are harder to cultivate or have a single method of obtaining them, most potions are very cheap. Only when a potion can be transformed into a potion can its value be reflected. Therefore, if you want to make a lot of money in the future, potion science is essential.”Snape rolled his eyes at Leon. It was fortunate that he had helped Leon. Otherwise, this money-hungry guy would not even know that he had been scammed.
"Thank you for your explanation, Professor Snape. I'll leave the ingredients for the wolfvenom potion to you.”Leon replied with a dry smile. Then he saw Snape holding a knife and fork and knew that he seemed to have disturbed his meal. He immediately left the staff table.
Since he was already full, he left the hall and went to the library. Although Dumbledore had mentioned the meaning of Venus and Taurus, Leon still didn't quite believe it. So, Leon decided to look it up himself, as a form of insurance.
Leon spent most of the afternoon in the library. There were no major exams for the first year wizards, and there were not many subjects. The basic teaching curriculum was to familiarize the young wizards with Hogwarts and lay the foundation for future courses, so there were not many classes.
What puzzled Leon was that he didn't see Hermione in the library this afternoon. However, he didn't mind. Hermione did like to study, but she wasn't a heartless learning machine. It was not a big deal to occasionally relax and not come to the library.
His hard work paid off. In a divination book called Astrology, Leon found Dumbledore's shorthand formula, which confirmed that Dumbledore was not lying to him. Leon heaved a sigh of relief and put down the book. He put all the books he had borrowed back where they were and walked out of the library with a look of fear.
Compared to books on other subjects, books on astrology and divination were simply not meant for humans to read. The messy and boring content almost made Leon faint. He was glad that he did not have the talent for divination. Otherwise, if he wanted to develop in this field in the future, Leon felt that he would go crazy before he could master divination.
Compared to the library, the auditorium at night was much livelier. However, when Leon arrived at the dining table, he found that there was no delicious dinner on the table. The dining table was empty, and most of the students had not eaten dinner yet. They stayed at their own dining table and complained to their companions about their hunger.
However, Leon didn't think there was anything wrong. He knew that Dumbledore was going to announce the new Defense Against the Dark Arts combat class later. This would prevent some young wizards from running away after eating and not hearing the news.
So Leon patiently waited for Dumbledore's appearance until all the students were seated. Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall, and Snape appeared in the Great Hall. Dumbledore smiled at the hungry little wizards lying on the table, then took out his wand and pressed it against his throat, giving himself a loud voice.
"Young wizards, from this day forth, Defense Against the Dark Arts will be removed from Hogwarts 'curriculum for good!”
Dumbledore's words stunned countless young wizards. The junior wizards cheered, but the senior wizards shouted anxiously.
"Professor, what about the Defense Against the Dark Arts examinations at the O. W.L. and N. E.W.T.?”
"Is it because of Professor Quirrell's disappearance? Professor Snape could be the temporary professor of the course. There was no need to cancel it.”
"Has Defense Against the Dark Arts run out of applicants?”
"Silence, silence! Let me finish." Dumbledore continued, pulling Snape to his side."Although we no longer have Defense Against the Dark Arts lessons, after our discussion, we will introduce a new Defense Against the Dark Arts combat course to replace the Defense Against the Dark Arts lessons. This year's Defense Against the Dark Arts combat course will be temporarily taught by Professor Snape. As for the new Defense Against the Dark Arts combat course, it will be the same as the previous Defense Against the Dark Arts lessons.”
"Wow!"
When the young wizards who had been a little flustered heard the magic showdown, the atmosphere instantly exploded. Countless cheers almost overturned the roof of the auditorium. At this age, the young wizards could not relax. They had nowhere to vent their energy. Now that the school's new Defense Against the Dark Arts combat class actually included actual combat, how could they not be excited? This was a class that released spells at will to show their strength, and it was the legal kind.
"Don't be too happy yet. You should know that even ordinary magic spells have a certain degree of danger. Therefore, in this new curriculum, we will adopt a model where junior Magi and senior Magi will attend classes together. Temporarily, it will be first grade and fourth grade, second grade and fifth grade, third grade and sixth grade, and seventh grade students will be taught separately because they need to take the magic level test.”
Dumbledore looked at the reactions of the young wizards below the stage, and when he found that there were no objections, he nodded." As for what this brand-new class is for, perhaps you will only know after attending this class. Now, fill your empty stomachs with delicious food.”
With that, all the tables were immediately filled with food that looked, smelled, and tasted delicious. However, most of the young wizards were not in the mood to eat. Instead, they were excitedly discussing the new Defense Against Dark Magic combat class.
Leon didn't care about this. What Dumbledore said was what they had discussed in the afternoon. He knew what Dumbledore didn't say, including the idea of having classes together. This was also Leon's suggestion.
After all, the junior wizards of the higher grades had mastered more spells than the junior wizards. Therefore, it was reasonable to attack and defend in a duel. As for the attack and defense of the senior wizards, it was mutual. This way, it could also broaden the horizons of the junior wizards who were in class.
Moreover, most of the practical classes were focused on basic spells, which did not affect Leon much. After all, as long as Leon cast a level 5 armor spell that could repel the Reaper's Curse, not to mention the 4th year wizards, even the 1st year wizards would not be able to defeat him. After all, as long as he had enough mana, he could replenish the armor spell at any time.
"As expected, I'm often so outstanding that I don't fit in with these ordinary little wizards.”Leon thought helplessly.
