Hogwarts Card System.

Chapter 251 Breathing Method: Fire's Happiness~
"Remus, why are you a professor?"

"Dumbledore really couldn't find anyone. You should know that Mr. Quentin Trimble is hospitalized in St. Mungo's. He won't be discharged for at least two or three months. If he's lucky... that's why he found me."

“Do you know the legend of this position?”

"Are you talking about the curse? Of course I've heard of it. After all, when we were in school, this position was changed every year."

"Then why did you come to this muddy water?"

"I'm not trying to get involved in this mess. I'm just helping Dumbledore. Besides, I've wanted to come back for a long time. The seven years I've spent here have been the best time of my life. Of course, I'll get better and better in the future."

Lupin laughed very happily. The wolfsbane potion that Ted brought him almost gave him a second life.

Although he had done well in the Muggle society with the help of Sirius Black, the uncontrollable feeling on every full moon night was like a knife, stabbing his heart repeatedly.

Now it's all right! He no longer has to worry about losing control. He has become more confident and more positive in life.

Otherwise, based on his previous personality, he would not have allowed Tonks to "intern" with him.

Seeing Ted's frown, he added, "Don't worry, not every Defense Against the Dark Arts professor will be so unlucky that he will die or be injured. We discovered a secret at the beginning. Many professors will leave directly after teaching for almost a year, so that the curse will not be triggered. Only those who don't believe in superstition will be unlucky~"

"All right……"

Ted didn't know what to say. He said that the curse would become more powerful after Voldemort's resurrection? Even if he just became a curse, he might die?

The future is not unchangeable, and neither is the curse. Everything depends on human effort!
……

Soon, Ted and his classmates' first Defense Against the Dark Arts class began.

Because it has been delayed for more than a week, the four colleges are taking classes together to catch up on the progress.

Lupin looked at the students who were somewhat excited and eager to try, and smiled gently: "Students, I have seen the lesson plans for the past two years... Unfortunately, I'm afraid we have to start from the beginning."

"For some reason, your teaching progress in the first two years was very limited, and the teaching content was scattered. We have to work harder to catch up."

"Well, don't be in a hurry to open the textbook. Although I don't want to say this, the textbooks you are reading are somewhat outdated."

Lupin spoke in a confident but gentle manner: "Do you know that in the past ten years, the number of new magical creatures and magical existences discovered in the wizarding world has reached a quarter of the number in the past five hundred years!"

"And most of your textbooks have been published for ten years."

"Some bad news. Before I came to class, I asked a friend about the policies of the Wizard Examination Bureau of the Ministry of Magic. It is said that they are planning to reform the OWLs exams in two years, saying that they will change the scope and content of the questions on a large scale..."

He pointed his finger, then circled it, "That's right, you are the first batch."

The little wizards in the seats suddenly groaned, feeling that all their strength was being drained.

I had learned the Defense Against the Dark Arts class in the first two years in a confused and half-hearted manner, and now the unified examination two years later has to be reformed, and I have to be the first batch of experimental guinea pigs. How could I be so unlucky!
Neville started to tremble when he thought about getting a "T (very bad/troll)" grade in his Defense Against the Dark Arts OWLs exam.

Ron was also nervous for a moment, but he was fine the next second.

Destroy it, I'm tired.

Anyway, it doesn’t affect my eating of chicken legs, so whatever!

Look, Ron cured his internal friction in just three seconds~
Seeing the low morale of the young wizards, Lupin quickly made amends: "Of course, there is no need to be too nervous. Although the first batch was a bit sudden, the people in the examination bureau will not be so heartless. They will definitely reduce the difficulty appropriately. In short, it is not too late to start working hard now."

"Okay, let's get back to the topic and start the class! The content of our first lesson is: How to distinguish between humans and magical creatures..."

What is a "human" and what is a "magical creature"?
A previous Minister of Magic once defined that anyone who walks on two legs is a human.

As a result, the goblins were looking for trouble, and a group of chickens, ducks and geese came the next day.

What’s more, centaurs have four legs, but mermaids have no legs! How do we calculate this?
Later, another Minister of Magic redefined it: anyone who can speak human language is a human.

The next day, the goblins came to cause trouble again, bringing with them a group of giant monsters.

Although the trolls have low intelligence, some of them can indeed speak a few simple words.

It was not until 1811 that Grogan Stamp was appointed Minister for Magic. Grogan Stamp specifically redefined the terms man and beast. He believed that a man was "any creature having sufficient intelligence to understand the laws of magical society, and to bear some responsibility for the making of those laws".

Thus, the controversy that had been going on in the wizarding world since the 14th century was resolved.

Grogan Stamp created three divisions within the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures: Alien, Beasts, and later the Ghost Office.

It is worth mentioning that many humanoids have no reproductive isolation from humans.

For example, Veela, giants (on the importance of the Swelling Charm), goblins, house-elves (Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them 2), etc. However, the Ministry of Magic strictly prohibits non-humans from using wands.

Even though the Ministry of Magic seems to be a good-for-nothing most of the time, in this matter, the strength of its prohibition is comparable to China's ban on guns!

This also indirectly shows how dangerous those staff-wielding goblins in the goblin resistance are.

They are the ones who hang their heads on their belts, and they are on the edge of a knife. So when it is time to strike, they will really kill!

The types of magical creatures were finalized five years ago, and it was still a temporary measure. They were roughly divided into: animals, plants, insects, magical beasts, humanoid monsters, spirits, undead monsters, constructs, elemental creatures, aberrations, demons, dragons...

There are so many types, and the more you break them down, the more complicated they become, almost a bit like the number of genders in the West.

It is obvious that Lupin takes being a teacher very seriously. Compared with the previous two professors, he is much more serious - he prepares lessons in detail, the content is very practical, and he does a lot of work.

Let me put it this way, in this class alone, Ted had never heard of five or six of the typical monsters he gave as examples.

It seems that he has been doing well in recent years.

Although he works as a detective in Muggle society, he is well aware of the changes in the wizarding world.

Well, since Sirius was fine, he would definitely take care of his only remaining good friend.

After the class, the little wizards' evaluation of Lupin soared.

After two consecutive years of having bad professors, they even found it hard to believe that there was such a good professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts?
This is simply the perfect professor!
In the following week, the little wizards immersed themselves in studying hard.

Hermione was also unexpectedly appreciated by Bathsheda Babbling, the professor of Magical Writing.

As mentioned before, this professor was a bit of a part-time external employee and didn't like being in charge, so he promoted Hermione to be the "Magic Class Representative", responsible for things like receiving, sending and grading homework.

Now she can be said to have entered the student union prefect selection sequence ahead of schedule!
Soon September 9th arrived, Hermione's birthday.

Ted gave her a comb that can automatically comb the cat's hair. It was inlaid with a piece of malachite, which was very beautiful. So Meow Meow liked it very much and had to hold it when she slept.

During this time, Ted also taught his friends the alien knowledge in his mind, "Breathing of Fire", but everyone's progress was very limited.

Apart from Ted, only Neville had some feeling. Following the breathing rhythm can strengthen the body, while the other friends were still in the exploratory stage.

After all, this thing is outside the magic system, and the thinking mode is somewhat different.

The reason why Neville was able to make a name for himself was because he was relatively "simple".

Smart people like Harry and Hermione would think a lot, want to explain, want to pursue. But Ron and Jerry didn't work hard enough.

Only Neville didn't have any distracting thoughts. He didn't care about the principles or whether this thing was reasonable or not. He just breathed in and out simply, and he was very persistent, and it worked.

The most obvious thing is the morning exercise. Now Ted and Neville have started running around the Black Lake, and they can finish it within 30 minutes, which exceeds the performance of ordinary professional long-distance runners!
Ted's physique has long surpassed that of an average adult. And Neville is really amazing, he is only 13 years old but already 176cm tall, and looks like a young man in a suit!

Neville felt that by maintaining this breathing method, his heart and lungs were strong and powerful, and he ran more than ten kilometers without even getting out of breath!

On the contrary, I felt warm all over and very comfortable!

The more I run, the happier I am; the more I breathe, the happier I am!

After all, this is an idealistic magic world. Under this mentality, the Breath of Fire has slowly undergone special changes...
