Harry Potter and the Great Old Ones

Chapter 452 Course Schedule
Although Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Neville only vaguely understood what Tyella was saying, they were deeply shocked.

After returning to his Gryffindor dormitory that night, Harry had a rare good night's sleep and no longer dreamed of the night Tyrell died.

Hermione and Ron were the same; ever since Umbridge appeared at Hogwarts, ever since that unforgettable first Defense Against the Dark Arts class, Hermione often couldn't fall asleep.

But now things are better; a training ground has been found, and Tierra is back—

Although Tiera is a bit scary now, at least he's back, isn't he?
"Good morning, Harry!" Hermione said cheerfully the next morning. "Tonight at seven o'clock, gather everyone on the eighth floor..."

“Okay,” Harry said. “I’ll go tell the boys, you go tell the girls—”

“You won’t need to go through all that trouble anymore,” Tyella’s voice came from Harry’s backpack, interrupting him.

“Ti...Tiera?” Harry reached into his bag and pulled out the tarot deck that Tiera had given him—

The Tarot card, Tierra, came to life and was smiling at Harry.

“Good morning, Harry,” Tyella said with a smile.

"Good morning, Tyella..." Harry said in confusion, "Tyella, what, what's going on?"

Hermione also took out the tarot deck.

Ron wanted to take the cards too, but then he remembered that the deck Tiera had given him had been gathering dust in his bedside table except for one tarot reading class he took out.

“Say, call Hermione,” says Tyella on the Tarot card.

“Hmm…call Hermione?” Harry said hesitantly, “Like this?”

As soon as Harry finished speaking, a tarot card flew out of Hermione's hand. The card went black for a moment, then a moving image appeared—

It's Harry's face viewed from below.

Harry looked down at the tarot card on the top shelf in his hand, which depicted Hermione's face.

“You can contact each other like this from now on,” said Tierra on the other card.

"Wow, wow, wow, that's amazing! Tiera, that's incredible!" Ron was completely stunned.

“Alright, let’s split up and find the others,” Hermione said. “Remember to tell them about the uses of the tarot cards while you’re at it.”

“Yes!” Ron and Hermione replied at the same time.

……

At 9:30 p.m. that evening, when the others arrived at the training room that the Room of Requirement had conjured up, they, like Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Neville the day before, all had expressions of surprise on their faces, looking around the room and touching everything.

Amazingly, the cushions that Tiera tore apart yesterday had been restored to their original state when they entered again today.

"Ahem, hello everyone!" After they had all quieted down, Hermione stepped forward and said, "First of all, I would like to thank you all for your support, and I am very grateful that you could come here."

A round of enthusiastic applause erupted from the crowd seated on the cushions.

“I know everyone is really looking forward to this real Defense Against the Dark Arts class. I also know everyone is eagerly anticipating Harry’s lecture, but…” Hermione took a deep breath and then said, “But things changed yesterday… We found a better teacher…”

“A better teacher?” Ginny asked, puzzled.

“Who could be better than Harry?” Colin Clifton asked, standing up. “Harry agreed too,” Hermione quickly added.

"Please welcome our old friend!" Harry said happily, then turned slightly to the side, opened his arms, and pointed to the mirror behind him—

"Tiera!"

Only then did everyone notice that, in that enormous mirror, besides their own reflections, there was another person—

There is another person who should already be dead, someone who doesn't exist in this world, someone everyone knows—

Tierra!

"Long time no see, classmates." The Tiera in the mirror smiled and waved, greeting everyone, but—

"what--!"

"Ah-ah-!"

"Ahhhh——!"

Screams erupted one after another. Clearly, some of the girls present were not as calm as Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Neville, and even some of the boys joined in the screaming.

“Um…everyone…” Tiera said helplessly.

"Ah-ah-!"

“Everyone…” Tiera said again.

"Ah—!" The screams continued.

"All of you!" Tiera's voice suddenly became as loud as an ancient brass bell, instantly drowning out all the screams and silencing the panicked young wizards.

All eyes were drawn to the enormous mirror where Tierra was located—

The mirror turned into a sea of ​​fire, and Tiera, who had been standing in the center of the fire, became a constantly shifting, hideous black shadow.

"Everyone be quiet!" said the dark figure in the sea of ​​fire, its voice distorted as if a dozen different voices were mixed together.

No one dared to speak anymore.

“Everyone, sit down!” Tierra said again.

In the ensuing commotion, several boys and girls who had stood up, along with Ron, Hermione, and Harry who had been standing, all obediently found a cushion and sat down.

"Very good." The sea of ​​fire in the mirror disappeared, and Tiera's figure and voice returned to their original state.

“Now that everyone is here, you must all understand your current situation,” Tyella said with a smile. “I think Hermione and Professor Dumbledore have already explained the specifics of the situation to you, so I don’t think I need to go into further detail.”

"Regarding why I didn't die..." Tierra thought for a moment and then said, "I actually died. As for why I'm here... if you're curious, you can ask Harry, Ron, Hermione, or Neville. Class time is tight, so I won't go into too much detail."

“I will be teaching the theoretical part of this Defense Against the Dark Arts course, with Hermione as your teaching assistant,” Tierra said. “Harry will continue to teach the practical part of Defense Against the Dark Arts. The course schedule is seven days a week: Monday and Tuesday, Thursday and Friday will be dedicated to theory, Wednesday and Saturday will be for Harry to lead you in Dark Arts practice, and Sunday will be free for you to review and digest the material on your own.”

"The theoretical part of Defense Against the Dark Arts is divided into three parts: the principles of magic, the principles of alchemy, and the principles of spells," Tierra said. "In addition, I will set aside half of each class to help you deepen your understanding of the reformist ideas of the Muggles that Professor Dumbledore talked about in Muggle Studies class."
