Chapter 66: “New Professor”

All Nurmengard students sat down at the same time, startling both Sean and Hermione beside him. Sean felt a bit weird. Nurmengard felt like a militarized school.

“Hey, Sean. Have you seen that boy?” Hermione touched him and asked in a low voice.

“Yes,” Sean nodded, “Colton Sterling, right? He was the one who came to my house to recruit students. Did you meet him before?”

Hermione nodded, with some resentment in her tone, “His attitude towards my dad is terrible!”

After recalling it for a while, Sean agreed, “Indeed, my family also felt that this guy was too arrogant at the time.”

“But—” Sean pouted in the direction of the Nurmengard students, “Obviously, their way of behavior.”

Hermione agreed but was a little worried, “The Nurmengards are...”

“Excellent?” Sean replied.

“Um...” Hermione frowned and nodded.

Sean didn’t care too much. He smiled at her, “You don’t have to worry about that.”

Sean has never met someone like Hermione. In terms of grades, Hermione was slightly ahead of him. Sean was excellent only in the Transfiguration Class. Moreover, because of Sean, Hermione worked harder and harder.

“I’m serious. Is it bad if I can’t get the first place later?”

However, these Nurmengard elites obviously inspired Hermione’s strong sense of urgency to study.The origin of this chapter's debut can be traced to N0v3l--B1n.

“I have to worry!” She glared at Sean with a worried expression on her face, “Will I not be able to catch up with them in class?”

Sean shrugged, “It’s okay. You can start studying in the library tomorrow.”

“Then it’s settled!”

During the chat, Dumbledore stood up and clapped his hands, “Let’s welcome the arrival of the Nurmengard students again.”

“Maybe it’s because he hasn’t come back from vacation, or maybe something happened.” Sean looked back and said casually.

“Then what about our Defense Against the Dark Arts class?” Hermione immediately became worried about studying: “I’ve heard others say that Nurmengard doesn’t have this class and instead teaches some kind of magical attack and precautions.”

Sean nodded, turned his body, and said, “It is said that Nurmengard will learn the so-called dark magic.”

“Dark magic? I said in the book that dark magic is called dark magic because casting spells requires the wizards to be evil. Over time, the wizards themselves will be affected by the influence. That’s why most evil wizards act like that.”

Sean spread his hands, “Who knows? Maybe Mr. Grindelwald found some way to remove the evilness, but I’m not sure about that.”

Sean originally thought that the system panel only showed the spell name. However, after Grindelwald taught him the new spell, a bracket was added to his list of spells.

Combust (Dark Magic): Proficiency 100/2000

But for his version of Protego Diabolica, there is no such bracket. He has only seen Grindelwald cast the spell once, and his proficiency has increased by 100.

When Sean was thinking, the last dessert left on the table disappeared. Dumbledore tapped the goblet, and the students fell silent.

“Starting tomorrow, the students of Nurmengard will take classes with various houses. I hope everyone can communicate well.”

“Before that, I would like to announce that both Slughorn and Professor Quirrell are no longer teaching at Hogwarts for personal reasons.”

There was a sound of discussion in the hall.

Dumbledore pointed his finger at Snape, “Fortunately, Professor Snape is willing to resume his position as Professor of Potions.”

Snape stood up and glanced coldly at the crowd, and there was a burst of cheers from Slytherin.

After Snape sat down, Dumbledore continued, “Until a new teacher is found in Defence Against the Dark Arts, and due to academic exchanges, this professor from Nurmengard will be responsible for the rest of the semester classes.”

The man stood up with a smile on his face.

“Let me introduce to you, Nurmengard, the professor of Magic Attack and Defense Arts.”

“Tom Riddle.”
