Chapter 76
"First question, Professor Dumbledore, do you remember how Voldemort cursed the position of Defence Against the Dark Arts professor in the first place?" Leon asked to himself, ignoring the expressions of the two old actors.
"No one can spend a year in the position of Defence Against the Dark Arts professor, that's what he said. Dumbledore replied that he remembered the memory fairly clearly.
"Are you sure there's only the title of Defence Against the Dark Arts professor?" Leon asked.
"Sure. After Dumbledore finished speaking, he seemed to understand what Leon meant.
"That's easy, let's change the name and we'll be done. Sure enough, Leon's answer was the same as Dumbledore's.
Hearing this, Snape's expression was a little strange, but Dumbledore was quite pleased, yes, wouldn't it be over if you changed your name? This curse is language, and language. It is precisely the most powerless and pale that can be tampered with, such a big language loophole, why have I not thought of it for so long.
Then Dumbledore looked at Leon, his face full of approval, he only had a way to lift this curse in his eyes before, but he had never considered such a simple and straightforward method.
This is the problem of thinking inertia, today's Leon is a lesson to himself, Dumbledore feels for the first time, perhaps, he is really old, and at the same time looks forward to the future of Leon and Harry and other young wizards, after all, the future belongs to these young people.
"But isn't that tantamount to giving in to the mystery man?" Snape asked a little unwillingly, he did crave the position of Defence Against the Dark Arts professor, but was the Defence Against the Dark Arts class with a different name, or Defence Against the Dark Arts?
"Compared to the safety of professors, reputation is not an important thing, it is not so much about submission as innovation. Dumbledore replied slyly, then looked at Leon again, "Do you have any suggestions for the new Defence Against the Dark Arts class? "
"How about changing it to a Defence Against the Dark Arts actual combat class? Abandon the Defence Against the Dark Arts course directly, take actual combat as the basis of teaching, teach the first half of the class is responsible for explaining the dangers and countermeasures of various dark magic creatures and spells, and the second half of the class conducts magic duel training, and the little wizards work in pairs and twos, using spells to fight, which can also be regarded as accumulating experience in fighting with dark wizards in the future.
"
Leon didn't hesitate, he said the idea that was already clear in his mind, and at the same time thanked a certain big white fang who didn't know if he would enter the campus in the future, and his dueling club plan was the cornerstone of Leon's idea.
"Oh, the duel between young wizards, is it also going to be added to the class? it may have a wonderful effect, but the security aspect depends on the efforts of the professor, Cypleus, what do you think?" Dumbledore finished and threw the question to Snape.
"If you count the dueling curriculum, I agree with this new Defence Against the Dark Arts practical class. Snape didn't have an opinion at this point, if the new course could have a mock duel, maybe it would be much more interesting than the previous one-on-one Defence Against the Dark Arts alone.
So, Leon Dumbledore Snape and the three of them took over a lot of details on the course arrangement and duel simulation, and in the end, the new Defense Against the Dark Arts combat class was completely finalized, and Dumbledore couldn't wait to see the surprised and excited look of the little wizards when this was announced at the dinner.
Just as Leon and Snape were about to leave the Headmaster's office and go to lunch together, Professor McGonagall walked in at the door of the Headmaster's office, and when she saw Leon for the first time, her smile disappeared and she yelled at Leon, "Mr. Chris, what have you been doing this morning?"
"Of course, for the sake of the future of the school and the problems that had puzzled Professor Dumbledore for years. Leon replied righteously, and then winked frantically at Dumbledore behind him, Professor McGonagall didn't even call her own name, but called her last name, which was enough to witness her anger.
"Indeed, Leon has solved the problem that has plagued us for a long time, Minerva, and from this day onwards, we may not need to publish the recruitment of Defence Against the Dark Arts professors every year. Dumbledore did not hesitate and firmly endorsed Leon's platform.
"I didn't know you were going to lift the curse. When Professor McGonagall heard this, she immediately put aside her anger at Leon's absenteeism, and approached with great interest to approve.
After all, she is also the Deputy Headmaster of Hogwarts, and she feels the same headache as Dumbledore about the fact that the house she manages changes professors every academic year.
Dumbledore smiled when he heard this, and introduced the details that the three of them had discussed before, and how Leon easily solved the curse that had plagued them for more than two years. "
Leon was not complacent when he heard this, but felt that Professor McGonagall's words were suspicious of yin and yang, after all, saying that his way of thinking was different, wasn't it implying that he was wrong, and Leon also knew that there was a famous saying that mentally ill people have a wide range of ideas.
"So, Professor McGonagall, did you come to the Headmaster's office just to report me?" Thinking of this, Leon unconsciously asked Professor McGonagall, once Professor McGonagall did answer like this, Leon would have to think about setting an alarm clock in advance for Professor McGonagall's class in the future.
As for wearing little shoes and eye drops for Professor McGonagall in the future, how can Leon do such a?
"No, I'm here to share the joy, congratulations, Leon, "Transfiguration Today" and "Wizard's Secret" published your paper at the same time today, I am here to give this to Dumbledore, I know that Dumbledore is helping you apply for nomination for the Order of Merlin, maybe the recognition of these two authoritative newspapers will make your nomination journey for the Order of Merlin go more smoothly. "
Professor McGonagall also remembered what she was here for, and hurriedly pulled out two folded newspapers and displayed them on Dumbledore's desk, Leon's paper was published on the front page of Transfiguration Today, and on Wizarding Secrets, it only occupied a secondary page.
But the content on the homepage is also related to Leon, that is, the analysis of the composition and experimental data of the wolf poison potion that Leon took out, but unfortunately it only analyzed a rough idea, and the gap with the actual formula is still quite large, and at the end of the article, "The Secret of the Wizard" also specially thanked the Ministry of Magic for providing the wolf poison potion.
For the Ministry of Magic to take the wolf poison potion that he went to register and verify to "The Wizard's Secret" for research and use, without the consent of his own formula holder, Leon did not say anything explicitly, but in his heart he has already labeled the Ministry of Magic as a decoy that can be used and discarded, as for how to use this bait in the future, it may depend on the sincerity of the Ministry of Magic and the thickness of the family.
"Congratulations. Dumbledore and Snape didn't know that Leon was thinking about the Ministry of Magic, and they just congratulated Leon from the bottom of their hearts, the only thing that made them feel wrong. It was Leon who actually showed that strange evil smile again at this time.
"I don't know who is going to be unlucky. "
This is basically the common idea of the three professors present.
