Professor Rupert Hogwarts

Chapter 131 Temporarily acting as Defense Against Dark Arts professor?

whoosh-

A flash of light suddenly appeared, and when he looked up, he could see a transparent phoenix flying in front of Eisen.

This is - Dumbledore's Patronus?After understanding what the thing in front of him was, Eisen immediately understood.It seems that Dumbledore has something to do with himself.

"Professor Eisen, please come to my office!" After Dumbledore's voice came out, the patronus disappeared.

A few minutes later, when Eisen arrived at Dumbledore's office, he found that in addition to Dumbledore, Professor Snape was also here.

However, what surprised Eisen was that Snape stared at Dumbledore with an angry look on his face, as if Dumbledore had done something sorry for him.

"Professor Dumbledore, do you have anything to do with me?" After glancing at the two of them silently, Eisen looked at Dumbledore calmly.

"Professor Eisen, I have something to discuss with you!" Dumbledore said solemnly to Eisen, and then glanced at Snape.

Snape nodded, turned and left Dumbledore's office without saying anything.

"What's the matter?" Although Snape's actions were a little strange, since it was none of Eisen's business, he didn't ask any more questions.But looking at Dumbledore's solemn expression, Eisen was still a little strange.

"Gilderoy is no longer the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor -" Dumbledore said and glanced at Ison.

This made Eisen feel weird. It seemed that Professor McGonagall had said something similar before.However, Eisen did not speak, but looked at Dumbledore, waiting for him to continue.

Seeing Eisen nod and say nothing, Dumbledore continued: "Severus wants to be the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, but I don't agree."

Hearing this, Eisen suddenly understood. No wonder Snape had such a long face. It turned out that his application for the Defense Against the Dark Arts class was rejected.

"Will the school cancel the Defense Against Dark Arts class?" A thought flashed through his mind, but Aisen said this.

"No, Defense Against the Dark Arts is the most core course at Hogwarts. It cannot be canceled!" Dumbledore shook his head, his tone particularly firm.

After listening to Dumbledore's words, Eisen resisted the urge to roll his eyes and kept complaining in his heart: "Yes, this course is indeed core enough. The core has been the same for decades, and the professor has been changed every year. It's really It’s so heartbreaking!”

However, Eisen still didn't understand why Dumbledore had always rejected Snape's application to be the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.

You must know that Snape is not only very effective in the research of potions, but also has unique insights into the research of defense against dark magic.This can be seen from the fact that he was able to create the Divine Edge Shadowless Curse alone.

To some extent, Snape is still very suitable for the position of Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts.But unfortunately, Snape applied every year and was rejected every year.

So, why did Dumbledore reject Snape's application?With thoughts swirling in his mind, Aisen already had some guesses.

Judging from Snape's experience, he surrendered to Voldemort because he was addicted to dark magic.But unlike other Death Eaters, Snape has always been obsessed with Harry's mother Lily.

Because of this, when Voldemort wanted to kill Lily, Snape had to betray Voldemort and work as an undercover agent for Dumbledore.Unfortunately, Lily was finally killed by Voldemort.

Of course, although Snape had abandoned the dark side and turned to the bright side, Dumbledore was well aware of Snape's love for the study of dark magic.Therefore, if Snape continues to be obsessed with the power of dark magic after becoming the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, he may sooner or later show the darkest side of his heart again.

Dumbledore himself declined the post of Minister of Magic many times. Why?Because he is worried that he will lose himself if he has too much power.Therefore, he felt that if Snape was exposed to too much dark magic, he might fall to Voldemort again.This is probably why Dumbledore rejected Snape's application for the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor position.

However, what Dumbledore doesn't know at the moment is that Snape has always loved Lily deeply, so he can cast the same patron saint as Lily-the doe.As for the Patronus, a wizard needs strong emotions of happiness, or positive emotions from the heart, to be driven to cast.

Logically speaking, it is impossible for the Death Eaters in the villain camp to cast the Patronus Curse, but Snape did it with his love for Lily.Therefore, in theory, if Snape was the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, as long as he still loved Lily, he would not be in deep trouble.

But Dumbledore didn't know all this, so he never let Snape be the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.

"So, what do you mean-" After a slight hesitation, Aisen asked directly.

"I want you to temporarily serve as Defense Against the Dark Arts professor!" Dumbledore's face was expressionless, and it was unclear what he was thinking.

Dumbledore said this calmly, but Eisen couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, feeling a little outrageous.Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, is he able to hold such an important position?

"No, Professor Dumbledore, to be honest, I am not suitable to be the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at all -" Eisen waved his hand directly to express his attitude, and then continued to explain the reason, "Look, I have no knowledge of dark magic." After in-depth research, unlike Lockhart, he knows how to deal with vampires, werewolves and magical creatures. Judging from my situation, I am not qualified to be a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts at all!"

"Look - Gilderoy can be the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, so I think you have no problem with it!" Dumbledore's solemn expression calmed down and he said with a bit of relaxation.

"Well, even if Lockhart's adventures are fake, he still needs to study them if he wants to record them on himself, right! But obviously, I haven't done any research on these." Eisen said slightly. He was stunned for a moment and continued to refute.

"Yes, I understand this, so what I mean is not to let you be the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor next year, but to temporarily take over the Defense Against the Dark Arts course for the rest of this school year." Dumbledore nodded. He nodded, and then said these surprising words.

"So that's it!" Eisen nodded, but he remembered what he had said to Professor Mao Ge before, and felt that things had become weird, "Does the other professors know about this?"

"No, this matter has not been announced." Dumbledore shook his head.

"There is a crucial question. The final exam of this school year is less than three weeks away. What should I teach them?" Eisen asked a new question.

This is indeed a problem. You must know that Defense Against the Dark Arts classes usually teach students how to deal with dark magic and curses, and how to deal with dangers such as vampires and werewolves.But in less than three weeks, what could Eisen teach?

After all, Eisen is currently good at spells and transfiguration, plus he has a little research on alchemy, but these are definitely not what the Defense Against the Dark Arts class will teach.

Moreover, even if Aisen plans to teach the second-grade wizard some knowledge, how will he test it during the exam?Don't forget, the second grade wizard has been studying for almost a year.If during the exam, the test was about the content taught by Aisen, then wouldn't they have learned in vain for a year?

Well, in fact, they had learned about it for a year, but at least the experiences in Lockhart's book and the methods and methods of dealing with werewolves, vampires, female ghosts, etc. were not fake.

But if the test is still based on the content in Lockhart's book, then wouldn't it be a waste of time for Eisen to teach other things.

"It's up to you to decide!" Dumbledore threw the question back directly.

"Okay, I understand." Eisen nodded and said nothing more.
