For the first-year students of Hufflepuff and Gryffindor, Wednesday was a rather special day.

According to the timetable, they would be taking classes together for the entire day.

Therefore, both Hermione and Nana were always very happy when this day arrived.

However, starting this week, Wednesday had another reason for more students to look forward to – Professor Apocalypse's Defense Against the Dark Arts class, or rather…

"Children, welcome to the Combat Magic Classroom!"

Grindelwald stood up, looking at the students in the classroom with a smile on his face.

Accompanied by the old wizard's plain opening remarks, a wave of uneasy commotion instantly erupted in the classroom. The students whispered to each other while curiously looking at the old man standing in the center of the podium.

"Alright, I must first clarify one thing, ladies and gentlemen, you have not come to the wrong classroom."

Grindelwald glanced around the whispering classroom, made a gesture of silence, and continued unhurriedly.

"Similarly, Hogwarts has not opened any new courses. It's just that after I learned a little about Professor Quirrell's previous teaching progress, I felt that perhaps we should start with some more fundamental essence."

The old wizard's gaze wandered through the crowd and finally settled on where Elena was.

"Ei… Elena Abbott, may I ask when Hogwarts was founded?"

"Eh? Roughly in 993 AD, according to Professor Binns' narration and document comparison." Hannah replied subconsciously.

As the chief secretary of *The Quibbler* (conferred by Elena), although Hannah was not mainly responsible for writing, she could answer these basic knowledge related to the "Hogwarts Calendar" almost without thinking.

"Very good, thank you for your answer, one point to Hufflepuff."

Grindelwald winked at Elena and continued slowly.

"Nowadays, very few people know that the term 'Dark Arts' actually began to appear gradually five or six hundred years after the school was established, and the name 'Defense Against the Dark Arts' only appeared in the last one or two hundred years."

"So…"

"Before this course begins, I hope you can first understand the real name of this course, so that you can better understand what you are learning and where the knowledge you learn in this course can be used…"

As the old wizard spoke, he raised his wand and tapped lightly on the blackboard behind him.

The words "Defense Against the Dark Arts" appeared on the blackboard.

Following the old man's voice, the words on the blackboard twisted flexibly and changed to "Combat Magic".

Looking at the board writing that appeared on the classroom blackboard, the students subconsciously reached for parchment or notebooks, preparing to start taking notes.

"Just understand this, there's no need to waste ink writing it down."

Grindelwald grinned, looking around at the earnest little guys.

"The former name of this course, such meaningless questions will definitely not appear on my exam papers—if I am responsible for the final exam papers. Similarly, it will not appear in any of your subsequent exams."

"In fact, in my course, you may not have many opportunities to use textbooks and paper."

Hearing Grindelwald's voice, the young wizards put down their pens one after another, looking at the old man in surprise.

Grindelwald smiled slightly and glanced meaningfully at some children in the classroom.

"Undoubtedly, some people who waste time reading your useless first-year Defense Against the Dark Arts textbook—"

"?!"

A strange sound came from beside Elena, and the know-it-all Miss seemed to have choked suddenly.

"—will mostly have this impression, although this course is called Defense Against the Dark Arts, the content in the textbook actually teaches you how to identify vampires, or how to deal with banshees that suddenly appear in your well."

"But…"

Grindelwald suddenly walked out from behind the desk and stood in the center of the classroom.

The first Dark Lord, or rather Professor Otto Apocalypse, waved his wand, and a illusory pale golden light and shadow exploded in the classroom, and something gradually took shape in the light and shadow.

"An adult giant's height is at least over twelve feet! They are incredibly strong and can easily smash your heads! Whether it is wild animals or humans, they are all among its predation options! But a *Fiendfyre* spell is enough to turn it to ashes!"

Grindelwald's wand tilted upwards, and a spell shot at the giant formed by the golden light and shadow, shattering it into powder.

Facing the ugly body of the giant at close range, and at the same time watching it turn into dust with their own eyes…

A series of gasps rang out in the classroom.

Before the students could recover, the powder re-condensed, and a dragon with bronze horns and sharp bronze spikes protruding from its tail appeared in the classroom. A terrifying flame spewed out from the dragon's mouth, instantly engulfing the entire classroom.

"Roar!"

The roar of the dragon echoed in the ears of all the young wizards.

Facing the endless and terrifying flames coming towards them, almost all the children in the classroom were completely stunned at the first moment, standing there blankly, looking at the dragon's sharp fangs, and continuing to hear the old wizard's roar in their ears.

"Hungarian Horntail! The most dangerous dragon so far! The flames it spews can even exceed fifty feet, and the temperature is enough to melt Muggle-made armor and shields! Its fangs can break steel and wood without any difference! But, only a powerful enough *Diffindo* spell, combined with an *Oculus Reparo*, can easily cause it to bleed to death!"

Another dazzling beam of magic streaked across the classroom, and the Hungarian Horntail, which had been flaunting its power, fell down with a crash.

Once again, like the giant, it turned into countless flying golden dust.

The students' faces gradually began to turn red, and a bit of extremely dangerous excitement suddenly appeared in their terrified eyes.

"Of course! There are also the Dementors who guard Azkaban, sucking happiness and freezing souls."

At this moment, Grindelwald smiled coldly, and his wand lightly drew an arc in the air.

A chill suddenly swept through the scorching classroom, and all the young wizards shivered subconsciously.

"This extremely dark magical creature is now ironically serving as a jailer! But few people remember that it almost changed the war pattern between the non-magical world and the magical world—if it hadn't lost control in the end, there might be no Muggles in this world…"
