When they returned to the locker room, everyone was still immersed in the cheerful atmosphere.

"I guess Davis must be faking illness..." Mikel said excitedly, "He knew long ago that Ravenclaw would not win this game. Kyle has the Firebolt."

"Don't say that." Cedric put on his robes and shook his head. "Gryffindor's Harry Potter also has a Firebolt, and he is also a seeker. If Roger Davis is really afraid of losing the game, it would be best for him to just quit the team.

"And Qiu also said yesterday that Davis was knocked off his broom by a Bludger yesterday. I guess Madam Pomfrey wouldn't allow him to be discharged so soon."

"Okay..." Mikel said, shuddering subconsciously.

When he was in his first year, Mikel had seen Madam Pomfrey's methods. If she insisted on not letting Davis participate in the competition, it would be useless even if Professor Flitwick went.

"Okay, let's go." Cedric said with a smile, "How about having a banquet in the common room tonight? After all, this is the first victory of the year, and we need to celebrate it properly."

The other players immediately agreed and left the locker room happily.

The castle was also immersed in a sea of ​​joy. A game seemed to have broken through the haze that had shrouded Hogwarts in the past few days. People gradually stopped caring about the mysterious man and the Death Eaters who had no news for a long time, and instead focused their attention on the Defense Against the Dark Arts class that was about to begin.

Thanks to the publicity from the sixth-year students, most people knew that the new teacher had arrived at Hogwarts.

"I really hope that the people who come this time can teach us something new." Hannah said in the common room: "I'm tired of copying books and reciting. It's just Christmas, and I've already spent one more Galleon on parchment than last year. If this continues, my pocket money will not be enough."

"Probably not." Cedric said, "In my impression, she and Umbridge have completely different personalities."

"Do you know that professor?" Hannah looked over.

"Yeah." Cedric nodded. "When I first entered school, she was in the seventh year, but she had already been selected as a trainee Auror at that time and was often not in school."

"What kind of person is she?" Mikel asked curiously, "Is she the same as you? She was selected as an Auror in the seventh grade. Her grades must be very good. I think she has at least ten certificates."

"No, quite the opposite." Cedric thought for a moment and said hesitantly, "Although I didn't have much contact with her and never talked to her, many people said at the time that Tonks was a Gryffindor who was sorted into Hufflepuff."

"What does this mean?" Mikkel blinked. "Didn't she graduate from Hufflepuff? How did she become Gryffindor again?"

"It means that her personality is like that of a Gryffindor... but she is not so obedient." Cedric racked his brains and finally found a fairly pleasing description.

After all, she is now a professor, and it is not good to talk about her behind her back.

"Ah, I remember now." At this time, a seventh-grade student suddenly said, "The person who led Hufflepuff to fight with Slytherin after the last Quidditch game seemed to be called Nymphadora."

Cedric turned his head away and said nothing, which was considered as his agreement.

Everyone immediately became interested.

“Tell me more about this…” Upon seeing this, the people around immediately took out candies, biscuits, peanuts and other snacks from their pockets and surrounded the seventh grader.

"It was like this... It was the last Quidditch match between us and Slytherin, and whoever won would be the final champion. But during the game, they used a dirty trick to knock our main player Harris off his flying broom, causing us to lose by a gap of 30 points.

"Then when the Slytherins were celebrating, someone suddenly rushed up from his seat and started fighting with them. All the Hufflepuffs were holding back their anger at the time, so when they saw someone taking the lead, they all followed without hesitation... It was a spectacular scene, but the professors were very angry. That was also the first time I saw Professor McGonagall get angry."

"Oh, that's cool!" Hannah's eyes sparkled, and then she asked worriedly, "But she must have been punished for starting the fight. Was she put in solitary confinement?"

"No!" the man shook his head.

"No?" Hannah was stunned for a moment. "It can't be that he was fired... I mean, someone who was fired can't be an Auror, right?"

"Of course not expelled." Cedric continued, "In fact, the professors couldn't find out who was the leader. The Slytherins all said that it was a red-haired girl who was the leader. But the problem is that there was no girl with red hair in Hufflepuff House at that time."

There was a sudden cry of disbelief in the common room.

"Could it be someone from another college?" Someone said, "Aren't all the Weasleys red-haired? Maybe they sat at the Hufflepuff table in advance."

"The only Weasley girl hadn't started school yet," Cedric said, "and they searched the entire school but couldn't find the person they remembered."

"Wait..." Mikel asked in confusion: "If that's the case, then why do you say this is related to that Nymphadora Tonks."

"Because she has a special ability to change the color of her hair, she is the most suspicious person."

Cedric said vaguely, "But she claimed that she was detained by Filch for playing in the corridor, and she stayed in his office the whole time, and didn't go to the Great Hall.

"This was later confirmed by Filch, and although many people at the time were convinced that she was the culprit, there was no evidence.

"Besides, she graduated and became an Auror a week later, so the matter was dropped."

"Oh..." Stars appeared in Hannah's eyes again.

Leading the entire academy to fight and getting away with it in the end, just hearing about it makes one's blood boil.

"I'm already looking forward to the Defense Against the Dark Arts class." Mikkel asked excitedly, "When is our next class?"

"It happens to be tomorrow," Kyle said. "It's the second class in the morning."

"Why can't it be the first class?"

"Are you sure?" Ryan said with a smile, "Don't forget that our professor is still Umbridge, and that Nymphadora Tonks is only here to assist her."

Mikkel's face immediately fell, "Please, can you not say these spoiling words when I'm so happy."

There was a burst of laughter all around.

Although what Ryan said was right, they did not change the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, but at least there was some hope.

…

The next day, Kyle and others went to the Charms class first.

Starting a week ago, Professor Flitwick no longer allowed everyone to recite spells, which led to a lot of problems in the class.

Mikael's wand exploded in a shower of sparks that nearly set Professor Flitwick's hair on fire.

A Gryffindor girl waved her wand, and then all her hair stood up, looking like she was holding a uniquely shaped broom.

Someone also cast a spell on the table, and then the table came to life, spreading its legs and running wildly around the classroom. Professor Flitwick, who was maintaining order, was caught off guard and was even knocked over by it.

Kyle thought this should be a kind of Transfiguration spell. The table obviously thought it was a cow.

Fortunately, Professor Flitwick was used to similar things, and with his rich experience, he did not get angry. He patted his clothes and stood up from the ground. He quickly restored the classroom to its original state and punished the two people who whispered the spell.

After the get out of class was over, everyone hurriedly wrote down their homework and rushed out the door impatiently, arriving at the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom early to wait.

Five minutes later, Umbridge walked into the classroom, but that was not the point. Everyone was surprised to find that there was another person following her. It was the witch who took the lead in cheering for Hufflepuff during the Quidditch match.

Some students subconsciously looked at Tonks' hair...

"Look, gray hair." Mikel lowered his voice and said, "Her hair was yellow and black yesterday, the same as the Hufflepuff flag. I remember it very clearly."

In addition to Mikel, others also noticed the change in Tonks' hair color, and this discovery made them extremely excited.

"It seems that what Cedric and the others said is true." Mikkel looked ahead excitedly, "I wonder what she will teach us... I hope it is the method she used to beat up Slytherin without being discovered by the professor. I have always wanted to do this."

"Then you might be disappointed." Kyle glanced at him.

Metamorphmagus are almost always born with it, and even if Tonks wanted to teach them, no one else could learn it.

By this time, Umbridge and Tonks had walked up to the podium.

As before, Umbridge still smiled in a fake way.

"Well, open your copy of Magical Defense Theory and see where we left off last time."

"Professor, reading shouldn't be able to help us resist the mysterious man." A clear voice came from the classroom.

"I have reminded you many times that you should raise your hands when speaking in my class!" Umbridge shouted loudly, "Also, the Ministry of Magic will protect your safety. You just need to obey the arrangements of the Ministry of Magic and stay in school honestly."

“But we can’t be in school all the time.”

"I said, raise your hands!" Umbridge raised her voice again, "I'll say it again, the Ministry of Magic will protect your safety, now turn to page 175, we..."

"I'm sorry, Professor Umbridge."

Someone interrupted her again.

Umbridge was about to get angry, but she found that it was Tonks who spoke this time.

She held a class schedule in her hand and looked at it pretentiously. "According to the latest curriculum, it seems that I need to teach this class today."

As she spoke, she spread out the timetable and handed it to Umbridge, "Look, my name is on the back of it."

"You..." Umbridge's face darkened, "Don't forget, I am the professor of this course, you are just here to assist me."

Read more of the latest popular novels at 6.9*shuba!

"I've always kept that in mind and stressed it many times," said Tonks.

"Then you should follow my instructions and turn to the book..."

"I'm sorry, Professor Umbridge." Tonks interrupted her again.

"But this is a task assigned to me by the Minister. I must complete it. Otherwise, if someone tells the Ministry of Magic that I am perfunctory and doing nothing, I'm afraid the Minister will be angry."

"What if I must go to class?"

"Of course, you are the professor and you have the final say." Tonks said indifferently, "But in order to keep my salary, I can only write a letter to the department to explain the situation.

"You know, the Ministry is very concerned about Hogwarts right now, and no one can be lazy."

"Very good, very good." Umbridge stared at Tonks, "Then this class will be handed over to you, Professor Tonks."

She emphasized the last two words.

"I'm just a facilitator, you're the professor," Tonks corrected.

But Umbridge did not look happy. She didn't even look at Tonks again, but walked down the podium and left the classroom.

The moment the door was closed, cheers suddenly broke out in the classroom.

"Okay, calm down." Tonks waved her hand.

After everyone quieted down, she continued, "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and put away that damned book 'Magic Defense Theory'. I think what's written on it is all nonsense and is completely useless.

"Of course, I'm not saying it's bad, it's just that the content is too stereotyped and it's almost impossible to use it in real situations."

Before she finished her words, there was no book on the table, and some people had even taken out their wands.

"Put away your wands too," Tonks said, "Because before class begins... I have to check how you've learned Transfiguration. This is very important."

"Transfiguration?" Someone didn't understand. "But now it's Defense Against the Dark Arts class."

"I know, but what I'm going to teach is Transfiguration is the basics... just like this."

Tonks tapped her face with her wand, and her cheeks immediately puffed out and her chin flattened slightly.

Although they were only minor changes, they made her look like a completely different person. If it were in another situation, even if she walked towards him, Kyle might not be able to recognize that this was Tonks.

"Disguise," said Tonks, "a way to temporarily change your appearance without the need for potions.

"I know that some of you may not care about this and think that it is enough to just learn how to transform the human body. Why do you need to do this?"

She glanced around the classroom, and some people immediately put away the disappointment on their faces, but these people were basically Gryffindors. They wanted to learn more powerful magic, not this kind of...thing that they had already learned in Transfiguration class or could be done with a bottle of potion.

But they didn't notice that the Hufflepuffs who were attending class together had red eyes due to excitement after hearing what Tonks said.

"I knew it, haha!" Mikel couldn't help but laugh.

Kyle said nothing, he hadn't expected Tonks to use Transfiguration instead of Metamorphmagus, she should have gone to assist Professor McGonagall.

"I need to warn you here..." Tonks continued on the podium, "If you rashly use body deformation to change your appearance without practice, it will only make you more conspicuous in the crowd."

"Mr. Thomas." She pointed out a name, "I see you don't seem to agree with what I said."

"Not really, Professor," said a Gryffindor, standing up.

"Just call me teaching assistant," Tonks said. "It's okay. You can try to imitate what I did just now. If you can make others unable to recognize you, then you can do whatever you want in this class."

"real?"

"Of course," Tonks said with a smile.

"Okay!" The man immediately took out his magic wand and tapped his face.

Then, there was a sudden burst of laughter all around. Some people held their stomachs and almost laughed to tears.

"What's wrong?" He was a little confused.

Tonks didn't answer, but simply conjured up a mirror in front of him.

The man screamed at the first sight.

It was obvious that he wanted to imitate Tonks, but he didn't know how to strike the right balance and changed too much. The transformation magic even affected his nose, making him look like a house-elf who had drunk a swelling potion... and it was an expired swelling potion at that.

But to some extent, he did succeed. Now no one can recognize who he is, including himself.

Tonks took out her wand, suppressed her laughter and waved it, helping him to remove the influence of the Transfiguration Charm.

“That’s what I said, untrained human body deformation cannot serve the purpose of hiding oneself.

"Now, does anyone else want to give it a try? The conditions remain the same, and if you succeed, you can move freely during this class."

Everyone avoided her eyes, especially the girls, who simply lowered their heads and pretended not to hear anything.

"Very good." Tonks nodded with satisfaction, "Then let's start with the basics."

She waved her wand, and a rabbit appeared in front of each person. "It's best to practice on them before using it on yourself, so you can get the right strength."

There was also a rabbit in front of Kyle, but he did not take action immediately like the others.

In fact, he was not very interested in what Tonks taught... Magic has traces to follow, including Transfiguration. No matter how perfect it becomes, it will be seen through at a glance by a powerful wizard.

For example, Dumbledore and Voldemort, there are only two ways to deceive them with their appearance... Polyjuice Potion and Disguisemagus.

Of course, this method is quite effective for most Death Eaters. Their perception of magic is not that sharp, and they may not be able to discover it if they are careless.

But if he encounters a Death Eater, Kyle doesn't need to change his appearance to save his life. He has a simpler and more brutal way. By then, the ones who want to escape will be the Death Eaters.

In general, what Tonks taught was only useful to most students, but it was a bit useless to Kyle.
