Hogwarts from another world

As November approaches, the weather becomes very cold almost overnight.

The mountains surrounding Hogwarts Castle looked gray and covered with ice and snow. A thin layer of ice also began to form on the surface of the Black Lake. And when they walked out of the Slytherin common room every morning, there was frost on the ground outside the stone door.

They had to wear thick clothes to keep out the cold.

Matthew Wakefield has also significantly reduced the number of trips to the library or the Room of Requirement.

When he has nothing to do, he prefers to sit on the soft armchairs in the Slytherin common room, warming himself by the fire while reading or writing homework. When he encounters something he doesn’t understand, he can also ask the senior students around him Please ask for advice.

Just as Hermione Granger had previously "predicted", Professor Rosier has once again "lost all traces" since the end of Halloween. The official explanation given is that her injury has not yet healed.

As for Principal "Gellert Grindelwald", he would appear at the guest of honor seat in the auditorium on time for breakfast, lunch and dinner every day.

Maybe Hermione's previous "guess" was right. Professor Grindelwald did not have all the authority of the Hogwarts Principal, and he would not be able to stay at Hogwarts for too long.

And what appears in front of them every day now is dressed up by Vice President Professor Rozier.

However, Matthew’s “prophecy” was not wrong. Although the principal who appears in front of them every day is most likely fake, the "real murderer" hiding in the darkness is still afraid of him, and he does not dare to cause new attacks.

Except for that insignificant "interlude" on All Hallows' Eve, the castle was peaceful.

Professor Rozier's "injury has not fully recovered," so the first-year Defense Against the Dark Arts class is still temporarily taught by Professor Trocca.

Their level of defense against dark arts also began to improve little by little under the guidance of Professor Troca.

It’s another Friday afternoon, another Defense Against the Dark Arts class

"Among all the protective spells, the Petrification Spell is undoubtedly the simplest one and one of the few that is suitable for you little wizards who have just come into contact with magic."

"You know, the younger the wizard is, the harder it is for the magic in the body to be controlled and blindly exposed to those powerful protective spells. Even if you are talented and can learn it, the possibility of accidents is very high."

Professor Troca's voice is still hoarse, but his face has been looking good recently, at least much better than when he first came to Hogwarts.

"At the same time, the Petrification Spell is one of the few that does not cause any harm. Most of the time, when faced with those who are seemingly enemies, the Petrification Spell is the most appropriate spell to use to avoid the possibility that the other party is not an enemy. Causing unnecessary harm to the other party."

"Professor Rosier should have taught you that the petrification spell is petrificus totalus. But don't underestimate it just because it is the simplest protective spell. Remember, if you want to be proficient in using any protective spell, you need to A lot of practice”

"The stress is on the first p and the second t respectively. Please note that there needs to be a pause of about half a second between the two words to avoid making mistakes."

Professor Trocca's Defense Against the Dark Arts class is undoubtedly more popular than Professor Rozier's. Of course, this is not because of academic level, but because Professor Trocca is much more easy-going than Professor Rozier, and the atmosphere in the classroom is much better.

"The effect of the petrification spell can make your target be restrained and unable to move for a certain period of time. Of course, the body functions of the target hit by this spell can still keep working, so no harm will be caused."

"In addition, the petrification spell also has a solution. The spell is finite incantatem. When you realize that the target of your petrification spell is wrong, please be sure to use the solution as soon as possible."

"Remember, the accent in incantatem is at the end"

In fact, this is already the third class since they started learning the petrification spell.

It's just that Professor Trocca is still the same as in the Transfiguration class, repeating these details over and over again, so that they can remember them.

They were also divided into groups in pairs to conduct actual combat drills.

Matthew's partner is Draco Malfoy.

He raised his wand, pointed it at Matthew, and shouted: "Petrify them all"

But there was a sudden explosion at the end of his wand, and poor Malfoy was knocked back by the blow and hit a wall behind him.

Malfoy groaned in pain as he fell to the ground.

"Don't forget this when you pause for half a second between Malfoy's words," Professor Trocca scolded while helping Malfoy up.

Poor Draco Malfoy, who has had nearly two months less classes than other students, is now at the bottom of almost every class.

"Wakefield, come and try," Professor Trocca pointed at Matthew and ordered.

Matthew raised his wand and pointed it at Malfoy:

"All petrochemical"

A faint red light shot out from the end of Matthew's wand, and then accurately hit Malfoy's body.

Malfoy's arms were slapped to his sides, his legs were standing at attention, and he was standing straight. His whole body became stiff, he swayed on the spot a few times, and then he fell to the ground with a plop, looking as hard as a wooden board. At the same time, his face, upper and lower jaws were locked together, speechless, only his eyes were moving.

"Well done, Wakefield," Professor Trocca praised:

"Now, remove the petrifying spell from Mr. Malfoy."

Matthew raised his wand again: "The curse stops"

I saw another red light.

This time, Malfoy's originally stiff body quickly recovered in an instant. He quickly got up, breathing heavily.

"It's perfect." Professor Trocca also gave Matthew's curse-breaking performance a high rating.

About ten minutes later.

Professor Trocca looked at his watch and said, "Okay, this class is over. I hope you will practice well when you go back."

"The feeling of being petrified is terrible," Malfoy whispered as he put away his wand.

"Don't be discouraged, you were very close to success just now." Matthew responded.

"By the way, Wakefield" Professor Troca called Matthew's name again:

"You stay alone for a while"

Matthew was stunned.

"Meet you in the auditorium later." Malfoy waved, and then walked out of the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom with Crabbe, Goyle and the others.
