Besides the little wizard below, the professors on the teacher's long table also looked at each other in dismay when they saw Charlie's appearance.
As professors at Hogwarts, they recognized at a glance that the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor standing next to Dumbledore was actually a Patronus.
It's just that it's the first time they have seen the patron saint in human form.
Of course, although humanoid Patronus are rare, it's not that there are none, but they can't figure out why the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor can't come by himself, but let the Patronus come.
Also, who was the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, and why they didn't know him.
Before school started, Dumbledore informed them that there would be a new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher this semester to replace Lockhart who had been expelled from the school.
They also wanted to see who Dumbledore called over, but unexpectedly they only saw a Patronus.
On the third day of school,
Charlie was about to start his first class of Defense Against the Dark Arts this morning, and to be honest, he was a little nervous.
It may sound a little ridiculous. As an underground boxer in his previous life, he beat and killed many people under his hands. In this life, as a cat, he scratched and killed many magical animals, wizards and Muggles.
According to his personality and his strong psychological quality, how could he be nervous when teaching some little wizards?
But in fact, when he walked to the podium and looked at the innocent eyes below, he was indeed a little nervous, because a very inexplicable sense of responsibility suddenly surged into his heart.
Perhaps, this is what Dumbledore wanted to see.
On the podium, Charlie was about to start class when a little witch suddenly raised her hand.
Because he often went to classrooms of different grades before, he basically knew all the students in Hogwarts. Now the little witch who raised her hand was in the same class as Alice, a second-year little witch in Gryffindor.
"Miss Elf, what's the matter?"
"Professor Meow, I heard that you are a ghost, but I feel that you are different from other ghosts in the school, so I want to ask if you are a ghost?"
The little witch asked with some expectation.
And as the little witch asked questions, all the second-year Gryffindors and Slytherin wizards in the class stretched their necks, waiting for Charlie's answer without blinking their eyes.
Except for Alice, of course.
Charlie understood that since the school-opening banquet ended three days ago, the controversy over his identity has always existed among the little wizards. They are mainly divided into two factions,
One group is wizards like the Weasley brothers. They think that Charlie should belong to the ghost category, which is the same nature as Professor Binns, because the Weasley brothers were in the last semester, but they encountered Charlie wandering around the castle like a ghost many times in the middle of the night.
The other faction believes that Charlie is covered in white light, which is different from a ghost, so it may not be a ghost. This faction is mostly witches.
"Ghost, that's not true. Due to my health, it's not convenient for me to show up. It's my patron saint who is teaching you now!"
Charlie shook his head helplessly and explained.
"Guardian?"
The little witch wondered.
At this time, some young wizards in the classroom heard the word "Patron Saint", and immediately let out an exclamation.
Muggle-born wizards, except for high school students like Hermione, other second-year wizards don't even know what a Patronus is, but some pure-blood or half-blood wizards have heard of it.
"What is a Patronus?"
In class, Harry asked Ron in a low voice.
And Ron was also at a loss. Although he was a pureblood, he usually spent most of his time on the Quidditch game.
He could name every Quidditch team in the world, even the names of their players, and their annual champions, but he didn't know much about magic.
"The patron saint is released through the patron saint spell, a very difficult defensive magic. It can not only disperse the terrible dementors, but also defend against some magical attacks. It is called the strongest defensive magic.
It is said that only very powerful wizards can release the Patronus Charm. No wonder when I saw Professor Meow, I felt so familiar. It turns out that he is the Patronus! "
Hermione, the know-it-all lady, explained thoughtfully.
Because Charlie was in human form, not animal form, Hermione didn't immediately recognize the Patronus, but she still knew the information about the Patronus.
"So Professor Meow is not a liar like Professor Lockhart, but a very powerful wizard?"
Harry and Ron said in unison.
"Of course!"
Alice puffed out her chest when she heard the words, with a look of pride on her face.
Harry, Ron, and Hermione looked at Alice strangely.
"I mean a wizard who can use the Patronus Charm must be very powerful"
Alice quickly explained.
"Okay, let's stop here first. Patronus is a very difficult magic. If you are interested, I will find time to teach you later.
Everyone follow me out today, I will take you outside to start today's Defense Against the Dark Arts class! "
Charlie pressed his hand and let the class return to quiet again.
"Go to class outside?"
The little wizard suddenly raised his eyebrows.
So far, apart from herbal medicine and flying, other classes are basically taught in classrooms, especially Defense Against the Dark Arts. It is said that senior students are taught in classrooms.
However, for little wizards, taking classes outside is definitely more interesting than taking classes in the classroom, so they didn't hesitate much, and immediately got up and followed Charlie and began to walk outside the classroom first.
"By the way, you don't need to bring textbooks, but you must bring your wands, because today is actual combat training!"
Seeing that some young wizards had taken textbooks and notes, Charlie reminded them.
Ever since he promised Dumbledore to be the teacher of Defense Against the Dark Arts, Charlie has been thinking about what he should teach little wizards.
In his opinion, Defense Against the Dark Arts class, to put it bluntly, is a course that teaches young wizards how to fight, and the most important thing is to improve the actual combat ability of young wizards.
Magic theory and magic knowledge, there is Professor Flitwick, and the cognition of magical animals will be taught by a teacher of magical animals in the future. What young wizards lack is more fighting ability.
And it just so happened that what Charlie was best at was fighting, whether it was physical combat or magical combat, in the entire Hogwarts castle, except for Dumbledore, there should be no one who was his opponent.
So Charlie felt that what he could do was to improve the actual combat ability of the young wizards in Hogwarts by a large margin during this semester.
The key point is that he is still the master of the Forbidden Forest. Whether it is a wild beast or a magical creature in the Forbidden Forest, he can use it as a training object for young wizards.
Acromantula, giant wolf, centaur, fire dragon, there is always one that is your favorite combat object!
