HP: White Lord of Slytherin

Chapter 326 Training and Power

The Defense Against the Dark Arts class changes its professor every year, making everyone curious about this year's new teacher.

To be honest, except for the teachers in grades one, two, and five, no useful knowledge was taught. The other professors helped them to accumulate some knowledge and master some spells.

Gloria and Draco arrived at the classroom early, holding their books and finding that the tables and chairs were stacked against the wall.

The podium table was also removed, and Grindelwald stood there with his hands behind his back.

Students came in one after another, not knowing what to do in this situation.

"I am not a wizard who graduated from Hogwarts, so I am not clear about your academic progress. Therefore, I will teach you based on my own understanding of what kind of strength a 17-year-old adult wizard should have."

As soon as Grindelwald opened his mouth, everyone became inexplicably nervous.

"Put your bags down and hold your wands. You must keep your wands in your hands when you take my classes from now on." He walked to the steps. "I hope you have developed the habit of keeping your wands with you at all times."

Suddenly everyone thought he was very powerful and they put down their schoolbags and grasped their wands tightly.

"Defense Against the Dark Arts. To defend against the dark arts, you need to understand the dark arts. From what I know, the teacher of this course once had a Death Eater sneak in. He should have introduced you to a lot of dark arts."

"Yes," said Hermione. "He walked us through and demonstrated the three Unforgivable Curses."

"Very good. Now that you have a clear understanding of the horror of dark magic, you will be more determined to resist it. It is not pleasant to be cursed." Grindelwald raised the corner of his lips. "Although I came from abroad, I know something about the British wizarding world. I heard that there are students in this grade who have fought against Voldemort."

Everyone immediately made way, and Draco was still standing next to Gloria.

Harry looked around helplessly and Ron pushed him from behind.

"Harry Potter." Grindelwald walked straight towards him. "A figure known to the entire European wizarding world. I am willing to come here, not only for my old friend Dumbledore, but also to meet you... Professor McGonagall told me that Dumbledore often gave you tutoring last school year. My old friend is very strong in fighting against the dark arts, and you should be no worse than him."

"Uh..." Harry relaxed his nervousness and explained, "Principal Dumbledore mainly helped me understand some things, but I still study with the professor."

Gloria really didn't know how to comment on this kind of behavior, so at the manor she would always ask her in a roundabout way which student Dumbledore cared about the most.

Of course it's Harry.

Grindelwald said calmly, "Really?"

He didn't stay beside Harry, but walked to Gloria's side, "Gloria, you are another reason why I am willing to come here. What I want to teach today may only be something you can accomplish."

Draco wondered what it was about, but Grindelwald had already returned to the steps.

"In view of the dire situation in the British wizarding world, I will teach you more practical combat skills. First of all, we need to train your ability to respond to battles." He shook the wand in his hand. "Wizards usually fight with silent spells, so there is a chance that you will be attacked by surprise. At this time, keen perception is indispensable."

He continued, "Sometimes a wizard's moves are unexpected, for example..."

Before he could finish his words, the wand suddenly pointed at Gloria.

Gloria reacted quickly and subconsciously raised her hand to block it.

Grindelwald smiled. "Like just now, he cast a spell while talking to you. So you need to have a sense that someone is about to attack you."

The scene just now stunned the students.

The elegant new professor spread his hands, "Let's keep it simple for the first class. We will cast spells one on one. Remember, my spells can come from any direction, so pay attention."

Grindelwald didn't cast any evil curse, but the part that was hit would be very painful. This is what Draco told Gloria about his feelings after being hit twice.

After class, all the students except Gloria limped out of the classroom.

Grindelwald was still standing at the door and said, "You can't do this. I don't know how many times you have died when facing a real dark wizard."

Harry's situation was similar to Draco's. Perhaps because Quidditch had trained his reaction ability, he was hit far less often than other students.

Draco covered his arm, "What kind of spell is this? It hurts."

"I'll try a healing spell on you when we get back. Maybe it will work." Gloria looked at his injured arm with a distressed look. "We'll continue to practice this in the secret room. I'm sure you'll use a curse next time."

The first day of class ended smoothly. Grindelwald did not assign any homework. He just asked them to read books in their free time. He only taught practical skills.

In a secret room, club members gathered together and read the letters sent by graduated members.

Seeing Gloria and Draco coming in, he quickly said, "Look, there's a letter from a stable member of the Ministry of Magic."

These letters are made public among members.

"What's written on it?" Draco asked them directly, not interested in reading it himself.

"I talked about the current situation of the Ministry of Magic, and how they have all entered important departments of the Ministry of Magic. Although they are still basic positions, this foundation is very good."

Zabini held one of the letters and asked, "Hayden Strong, I remember that I had a good relationship with your father Draco. Is it possible that he..."

What a coincidence that all the club members got good positions. Considering the relationship between the new minister and the Malfoy family, he guessed that Strong was a follower of the Slytherin family.

"Hayden Strong was promoted to minister by me." Gloria said directly, "I also founded the Magical Alliance. Some of the people present in the New World have already been there. In the future, I will expand the Alliance and indirectly control official institutions, not just the British Ministry of Magic. So... serve me wholeheartedly, and you won't be disappointed."

Some members began to breathe faster. Compared to using one's background to make nice words, the benefits of following Gloria were visible to the naked eye and could be quickly felt.

Only now did Zabini truly understand what Gloria had told him in second grade: only by strengthening the family's strength could they have a better foothold in the future.

The ambition behind this passage.

She planned it out early on and implemented it successfully step by step.

If he didn't make the right choice, he would miss out on such rights.

"Due to the situation in the UK, it is currently impossible to hold a meeting of the Magical Alliance, but you are all official members." Draco smiled, "You need to prove your loyalty at this time, use all available connections, pay attention to news outside, and report to the club."

The eyes of the members present gradually became firm.

"Then... do you need information about Muggle society? Although I am a half-blood, my Muggle relatives have a high social status and can get a lot of information from high-level officials."

A female member spoke nervously. Her father was a wizard who held a not-so-small position in the Ministry of Magic, while her mother had a high social status in Muggle society. For example, she knew more about the recent actions of the Death Eaters in the Muggle world than the Ministry of Magic.

Gloria nodded, "Of course, we welcome all kinds of news."
