Severus Gets Harry to Breathe Again Fanfiction
It's said that the post of Defence force Against the Dark Arts is 'cursed'. For year after year, disaster afterward disaster, the job of Defence Against the Dark Arts professor has (more often than not) been filled by some of the worst candidates to e'er grace a classroom.
But which i was the worst? Which Defense Against the Nighttime Arts teacher fully lived up to the role's curse, and should never be immune near children ever again? And which ones were actually alright?
Let's rank them and detect out: from best to worst.
Remus Lupin (Prisoner of Azkaban)
Seeing as we're counting downwardly to the worst Defence Confronting the Dark Arts teacher, nosotros're going to start with the best: Remus Lupin, a wizard whose bravery, kindness and patience made him one of the finest professors at Hogwarts – and, as far as we saw, the only decent ane to teach Defence Confronting the Dark Arts.
Lupin's classes were a fun and inventive breath of fresh air; he taught the 3rd years how to fight nighttime creatures such as Hinkypunks and Boggarts, and prepare them a monster-filled obstacle course as an examination. Fun! Then there was his dedication to Harry Potter, who he taught in private to cast the Patronus Charm. But, of course, there was no escaping the job'due south curse; Lupin was revealed as a werewolf and resigned the position before the influx of owls from outraged parents flooded in. An irony, given some of their childrens' other Defence force Against the Nighttime Arts professors...
Severus Snape (Half-Blood Prince)
As revealed at the end of Deathly Hallows, Professor Snape was secretly i of the bravest and almost noble men Harry e'er knew. Merely that doesn't hateful that he was the near breezy and piece of cake-going of teachers.
We all saw how he was in Potions, afterward all, and then at that place's just Snape's personality in full general. In fact, Dumbledore held off giving him the job for and then many years thinking it would bring out the worst in him – you lot know, all that company he kept with Nighttime wizards.
Only in comparison to some of Harry's other teachers, Snape was at the very least dedicated, house and very qualified. Well, mayhap a footling too qualified, judging past his first lesson speech communication calling the Dark Arts 'unfixed, mutating, indestructible'. Calm down, Snape.
Nonetheless, in a year where Voldemort was on the ascent – who better than Voldemort's very own double-spy to teach the class? Information technology could've been a expert gig for Snape, if merely he hadn't had that pesky Unforgiveable Vow promising to impale his boss…
Gilderoy Lockhart (Chamber of Secrets)
Gilderoy Lockhart wasn't an evil wizard, only he wasn't a particularly good one either. For not only was he a raging con-artist, a 'hero' who had built his reputation on fraud and lies, only he was dangerous besides, willing to get to desperate lengths to protect his fame. (Well, when he could actually go a spell right, that was.)
Naturally, given that he was a charlatan, Lockhart'southward time every bit Defence Confronting the Nighttime Arts teacher was an incompetent shambles – one in which the form learned more about him than the Dark Arts.
Take his first grade, for case, which kicked off with a quiz about himself, right before he let loose a cage of Cornish Pixies on innocent children. Later this niggling imitation pas, the rest of term would consist of reading from his ain books, and re-enacting them with the (reluctant) assistance of Harry. In fact, by the end of the yr the form had hardly learned anything about actual defence, which kind of raises questions almost Dumbledore's decision to hire him – a bid, maybe, to expose his fraudulence? Just what kind of school is this?
Mad-Eye Moody/Barty Crouch Jr (Goblet of Burn)
The strange thing nearly Alastor Moody (or rather, Barty Crouch Jr pretending to be Alastor Moody) is that he was actually a rather informative Defence Against the Dark Arts professor.
A footling bold perhaps (he did, after all, demonstrate the Unforgivable Curses in his very outset lesson), merely he was also an engrossing speaker, and certainly taught Harry and his classmates a affair or 2. It's just a shame that he was merely pretending; that his eagerness to assistance Harry was merely part of a scheme to rig the Triwizard Tournament. Nevertheless, if you take abroad all the connection-to-Voldemort stuff, maybe information technology was a skillful impression of what a existent Mad-Eye Defence Against the Nighttime form would really be like.
'Constant vigilance' is too good a catchphrase to only brand upwards.
Amycus Carrow (Deathly Hallows)
There'south not much that we know well-nigh Amycus Carrow'south time as Defense Against the Dark Arts instructor (he took over while Harry, Ron and Hermione were off searching for Horcruxes), merely what nosotros do know is that information technology was terrifying.
For a commencement, he was a Death Eater – one who took over the chore later Voldemort's conquest of the Ministry of Magic. And, from what Neville Longbottom told Harry, he was a rather sadistic one; having not only turned Defense force Confronting the Dark Arts into just Nighttime Arts, only enforcing discipline through the Cruciatus Curse. Equally Neville said, his punishments made Dolores Umbridge 'look tame'.
Dolores Umbridge (Guild of the Phoenix)
As Defence Against the Dark Arts instructor, Professor Umbridge managed to vacuum up all the useful parts of Harry'due south lessons past thrusting the students' noses in textbooks instead of activeness, denying the return of Lord Voldemort and, maybe worst of all, punctuating every sentence with a cutesy giggle.
Her saccharine and sugary ways were more arguably more cruel than the Carrows' tenure, and it wasn't long before her girly pinkish robes and love of cats made mode for a sinister, truly evil slice of piece of work; doing everything in her power to stifle Harry and his friends from defending themselves confronting the darkening world. Without fifty-fifty raising her wand, Dolores Umbridge'southward never-ending Educational Decrees and her quite literally scarring detention sessions with Harry take earned her a very well-deserved title of the second-worst Defence Against the Nighttime Arts teacher.
Professor Quirrell (Philosopher'southward Rock)
Although Professor Quirrell seemed quite harmless at first, what with his nervous tics and his turban, we practice have ane very minor reason why Quirrell might be the worst of the bunch.
This was non considering of his slightly jumpy demeanour, or his classrooms ever smelling of garlic or the fact he seemed to exist scared of absolutely everything, just because he literally had Lord Voldemort on the back of his head. Yep, he had one of the Darkest wizards in wizarding history on the back of his head. And we feel it'southward off-white to say that having Lord Voldemort on the dorsum of your head may but be the worst way possible to teach Defence Confronting the Night Arts. E'er.
