Chapter 10 Defense Against the Dark Arts



Wentworth said in a panic.

"Be careful not to meet Abernathy's eyes, Wentworth!"

"Wentworth, think about something else, something random, anything!"

Behind Wentworth, others were talking at once.

"Legendary!"

At this moment, Wentworth finally felt that it was the right decision for him to insist on going to Hogwarts yesterday. Although these guys in front of him were all masters in the magic world, they could not teach at all!

As expected, professional matters should be left to professionals. For this kind of learning, the teachers at Hogwarts are more reliable. Speaking of teachers at Hogwarts, Wentworth suddenly thought, who will be the teacher of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class this year? No, I need to think outside the box! Will it be Mr. Bo? Or ***? Or some other teacher?

In this way, Wentworth survived Abernathy's first Legilimency by relying on his longing for his many teachers in his previous life.

"Let's stop here for today, Wentworth. You should rest more. Practicing Occlumency is very energy-consuming. We will come back tomorrow."

After Rozier finished speaking, he took everyone and said goodbye to Wentworth, and after everyone left, Wentworth hurried to the bathroom.

After returning to Rozier's residence, Rozier turned around impatiently and asked Abernathy:

"Abernethy, what do you think of Wentworth's gifts? What can you learn through Legilimency?"

Hearing Rozier's question, Abernathy blushed and seemed to be unable to speak.

"Abernathy, what's wrong with you? I noticed just now that when you were using Legilimency, not only did your face turn red, but you were also sweating. Could it be that Wentworth's talent is so good that he could resist your Legilimency the first time?"

Someone nearby asked curiously.

Abernathy blushed, and after a long while he nodded resignedly and said:

"Yes, Wentworth's talent is indeed good. I only learned something from Legilimency at the beginning, and then I gained nothing!"

After hearing Abernathy's explanation, everyone's faces were filled with joy. Although Wentworth, as a descendant of the Grindelwald family, was the only candidate for the future leader of the Witch Party, no one wanted to follow a weakling.

After hearing the conclusion Abernathy came to after his own trials, everyone began to feel satisfied and full of hope for the future again.

"Abernathy, what was Wentworth thinking at the beginning? If it's a secret that can't be told to us, then forget it."

After a while, Rozier suddenly asked out of curiosity.

"There's nothing that can't be said. Wentworth was wondering at first who the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher would be this year."

Abernathy thought for a moment and answered immediately.

"Sure enough, Wentworth still admires the dark arts!"

"Of course, who doesn't admire the powerful dark magic? I admired it too! Wentworth was able to resist the temptation of the dark magic and asked to learn the brain block technique. It was all for us!"

"By the way, was the Defense Against the Dark Arts class at Hogwarts cursed by the second generation Dark Lord?"

"Bullshit, what second generation Dark Lord? He is like that, is he worthy of being on par with our leader?"

Soon, everyone noticed that Rozier seemed to be lost in deep thought, and the discussion became quieter.

"Rozier, what's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

Abernathy asked.

After Rozier slowly came to his senses, he turned to look at everyone and said with a firm look in his eyes:

"I understand what Wentworth meant! Abernethy, I think Wentworth deliberately let you read his original thoughts through Legilimency!"

Looking at Abernathy's bewildered expression, Rozier shook his head and continued to explain:

"The Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher is the next step in Wentworth's plan! He wants one of us to become the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher at Hogwarts!"

"Once one of our people becomes the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, the benefits to us will be enormous! First, we can protect Wentworth closely in Hogwarts. Second, we can assist Wentworth with his next plan. Third, we can obtain a public identity!"

After listening to Rozier's explanation, everyone suddenly understood. But then, Abernathy frowned and asked:

"But will Dumbledore agree to our request and allow us to become professors at Hogwarts?"

Rosier said confidently, "If it's other courses, Dumbledore might not teach it, but for Defense Against the Dark Arts, Dumbledore is eager for someone to apply for it! After all, the only outcomes for a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts are death, escape, or injury. No school principal can stand it!"

"But we are the Wizarding Party! Dumbledore knows many of us!"

"Haven't you ever heard of Polyjuice Potion?"

After hearing this, everyone finally understood why Rozier was so confident and praised his quick thinking.

But Rosier sighed, shook his head and said, "No, these are all hints given to us by Wentworth. The reason why he didn't say it clearly is because Wentworth is still hesitant. After all, being a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts is a high-risk job. But all of this must be part of Wentworth's plan."

Hearing this, Abernathy stood up and said, "I'll go! I used to work in the U.S. Congress and received an orthodox magic education. It won't be a big problem for me to just be a school professor."

But as soon as Abernathy finished speaking, someone retorted, "You must be joking. I am also a graduate of Durmstrang School of Magic and have received orthodox magical education. Moreover, I am stronger than you and can help Wentworth more!"

"If you're talking about strength, then I'm going to argue with you..."

“That’s enough!!!”

Seeing that the scene was about to become chaotic, Rozier yelled, and then everyone quieted down.

"The professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts is obviously an important part of Wentworth's plan. Not only does he need strength, but he also needs to be careful enough. After all, he is under Dumbledore's nose!"

"You guys are so slow to think about a problem. Wentworth has already given you hints, but you are still indifferent. How can I let you go without worrying? If you go, I'm afraid you will get Wentworth into trouble!"

"This time, I'll go myself!"

Rozier looked out the window and said firmly.
